It seems to be Mr. Roosevelt's own
Idea, growing out of the conferences
he has been holding with business
men. Few have found any objection
to It, but the White House apparently
wants to analyze it befor speaking
publicly.
. The unnotloed campaign of the
home loan crowd la an obvious and
not a very good experiment In that
direction. They have decided to ring
doorbells to solicit financial support
(at 3 per cent Interest) for the home
expansion theory. It is supposed to be
a test for the grander Idea of selling
. new deal bonds to . the public.
The experiment probably "will fall.
Few people care whether building is
expanded, but the Imagination of the
country could easily be swayed by a
program of buying relief bonds.

that the income groups between MOOD

part of the consuming public. Tills

third and a half of all gainfully em

Escapes Sand
After grounding once and damag

worked off the sand and managed
to ride out the raging gale.
It was impossible yesterday to
send aid to the stricken vessel be
cause of the force of the gale and
the height of the sens. The coast

several times to put out for the
Floridian. failed because of the
heavy seas that swirled around the

lived in almost complete blindness
over on the east side of the city.
The neighbors knew him only aa
"Robert" and although they regard

him harmless.
Perea had amused the children of
the neighborhood with hla constant
tinkering with inventions with which
he planned to establish magnetic

BEFORE IMS
A detailed explanation of the legis
lation in congress affecting the grsnt
land In Oregon, and the consideration
of road building as a national instead
of local problem, were brought before
the Klwanla club this noon at ti-e,
regular luncheon, by Jamea W. Mott,
United States congressman from Ore
gon's first district.
Congressmann Mott explained the
origin of the grant land as property
turned over to a railroad company for
settlement In this section where a
railroad was being constructed. Whon
the company failed to follow the
agreement, the land was placed under
the federal government again, all the
time remaining tax-free.
As a result when Oregon became a
state, 64 per cent of the land wis
under this grant, and could not be
taxed. For this reason, Mr. Mott de
clared, land grant states sought fed
eral aid to offset this loss from non
taxable property.
He explained how .Senator Robert
N. Stanfleld put a bill through eight
years ago. which crested a aa, 000, 000
fund for land grant states, which
fund waa used until two years mo,
when It became depleted, due to the
change of policy of the Interior de
partment. Mr. Mott stated that many of the
eastern and southern states could see
no reason why allowance ahould be
msde land grant states, and for that
reason It has been difficult to put
through legislation concerning them.
Congresamsn Mott Is a member of
the public lands committee with four
democrats, be being the only repub
lican member of the group. He com
plimented his colleagues on the non
partisan, intelligent and fair-minded
consideration of the measurea con
cerning the land grant amendment,
which proposes money be paid these
states directly from the United
States treasury, with re-lmbursements
to the government whenever funds
come In from the sale of this land or
timber on the land. This, he stated,
would make the Income to the state
steady and unconditional.
He told of obtaining the amend
ment to the Taylor grazing bill
through congress, which allows this
congressional district exemption fwn
Its provisions. The Taylor bill repeal
ed all homestead laws, leaving such
to the discretion of the secretary of
Interior, concerning withdrawal of the
publlo domain from sale and entry.
Being a member of the roads com
mlttee. Mr. Mott urged that the fed
; eral government enter Into larger aid
1 of the states. From the two road bills
i psssed in tha last congreastonsl ses-
slon. Oregon received amounts total
i Ing between nine and ten million dol
lars.
t Mott spoke briefly of the New Deal.
the recovery program, and criticism of
them. He told the Klwsnlans, "I don't
think that the criticism Is legitimate,
because most of the republicans in
congress supported the legislation. 1
sm somewhat provoked by the stats
men t that the measures were advo
cated by the majority and opposed by
the minority."
This evening Mr. Mott will speak In
the city hall at Ashland at eight o'
clock and at the Rotary club lunch-
ean here tomorrow noon. His radio ad
dress will be from 6:20 to 8:35 p. m .
instead ot ? p. m. ss originally announced.

Oklahoma, weeds.
One old boy got fired from
down there the other day, and

leaks." That sounds like a rich
Republican's wish to the New
Deal. They hope "it leaks."
