The Money Is Coming Back
TpiIERE are two sides to every question. During the past few
A months we have heard a great deal about Uncle Sam being
a Santa Clans and spending money like the proverbial drunken
sailor. ,
But we have heard very little about how that money is being
used and particularly how much of it is being paid back to the
government.
Take R.F.C. for example. This financial relief organization
was, of course, formed during the Hoover administration, but
it has functioned steadily during the Roosevelt administration.
According to the last report of Chairman Jesse Jones, since
February 2, 1932 to September 30, 1934, the collosal sum of
$3,000,000,000 was authorized.
.
DUT from this amount must first be deducted 1705,000,000
which represents loans cancelled by applicants as business
conditions improved.
The banks of the country were loaned $1,681,000,000, but to
date they have paid back over a billion, leaving a debt balance
of less than $600,000,000.
The Regional Agricultural Credit Corporations have paid
back 97 of their loans; the Agricultural Credit Corporations,
84; the Building and Loan associations, 75; the Livestock
Credit Corporations, 89; the insurance companies 65
the Federal Land banks 70 ; the federal intermediate banks,
100 PERCENT I
Such a record certainly reflects great credit upon the integ
rity of American business as a whole, and provides a final and
crushing argument for those who try to maintain, that there
hRg been no business betterment under the New Deal.
The only beneficiaries of R.F.C. who could be called "slow
pay have been the hard pressed railroads and the mortgage
loan companies. The former borrowed $404,000,000 and have
only paid back a little over $70,000,000; the latter have been
able to retire only 42 of their debt, which however under the
conditions could not be termed eisctly a discreditable record in
the hard hit farm mortgage business.
pVEN more impressive is the R.F.C. record for the latter part
- of this year. From January to June 1934 the R.F.C. paid
out more than it took in; but since then it has taken in
$116,000,000 more than it has paid out. In short, it is at the
present time, more than paying its way.
Mr. Jones attributes this to the fact that banks are now tak
ing care of the needs of industry, more satisfactorily, and pre
sents his balance sheet as unmistakable proof of returning con
fidence and improved conditions.
We fail to see how on the strength of the record, the essential
truth of this assertion can be denied.

Proof of the Pudding
WIIKN all is said and done, experience remains the best
teacher. We can favor or oppose a state bank on theoreti
cal grounds, but the best evidence, whether the plan is good or
bad, rests on how the scheme has worked out in practice. ,
North Dakota was the pioneer state in this form of banking.
In the first two years of its operation the .North Dakota state
bank lost $1,007,000, which of course had to be paid by the
taxpayers.
The farm loan department of this bank has been notoriously
unsuccessful. According to its official report in 1933 the chief
executive of tho bank stated:
"My personal Judgment la no further loana should be made
beyond the present legal authorisation and therefore no new
extension of atate credit should be authorlxed. should we con
tinue this atate farm loan policy Indefinitely It might easily
result In tax levlca for bond obligations In an annual amount
exceeding the total yearly operations of the ENTIRE govern
ment." At this srtune time, a member of the board of directors of tho
bank summarized his ten years connection with the institution
as follows:
"After 10 yeara of official connection with the governing
board of thla Institution I am personally of the opinion that it
was a great mlstnke for the state to have established It. I would
not advise any state to engage In the banking business with
public funde or public credit. It la utterly Impossible to main
tain a contlnuou efficient and stable management of any large
Institution owned and operated by the state and It la likewise
Impossible to keep the political element from Influencing Ita
banking pollclea. Whenever the latter element entera In the
results are disastrous to the Institution and the atate. Our
experience ahould be a lesson to all other states that may be
tempted to engage In the experiment."
Please underline the word "experience." And this is not
from a private banker nor from an enemy of the state govern
ment or stiito bank in North Dakota, but an official of that
bank and a member of that government. One who knew from
experience what a state bank means.
With the new federal law insuring bank deposits, with prac
tically every weak and shaky bank in the country eliminated
by the depression, with now and improved federal and state
banking regulations, it would seem the height of folly to try
such a (litest ionnblo financial experiment in this state, AT THIS
TIMK,
MR.' PETER ZIMMERMAN, independent candidate for Gov
ernor, favors a state hank, and if elected Governor and
his program put in effect, would automatically become a mem
ber of its board of directors. The state treasurer would be tho
bank manager.
A vote for Zimmerman means a vote for such a bank and
such a financial set up.
We can't believe many people in Jackson county or in the
state want it; or if in possession of all the facts, would wish to
go on record in favor of such a scheme.

A mother says her baby la three
months old. Before the baby waa
born and since she has had an lr
resistible craving
for charcoal,
chalk, ashes and
even sand or gar
den soil, but es
pecially charcoal.
Her physician
sured her It Is of
no significance,
and that It waa
all right to par
take of charcoal
when she felt so
ncllned. Her
husband think
she la a nut, and
her friends gasp In hirror at the very
Idea. She Is In excellent health and
her teeth are In fine shape. She does
not nurse her baby.
None of the thing the lady likes
la Injurious, except possibly garden
soil, which may contain undesirable
bacatrla or the microscopic eggs of
Intestinal parasites such as common
lumbrleold worm or the other Intes
tinal worms.
To make a long story short, nobody
knowa Just why expectant mothers
develop these peculiar cravings.
My own theory, which I cannot
substantiate. Is that the demands of
the developing child drain the moth
er's stores of certain vitamins and
perhaps also certain mineral elements.
We know that the prospective mottier
and the nursing mother require more
calcium than the ordinarily adequate
ration. We know that vitamin D la
essential for the Assimilation, metab
olism, utilization of calcium In the
body. Thla la getting In pretty deep
for the layman, and I'm Just floun
dering around myself, but we
haven't too many subscribers In Flor
ida snd I want to do what I can to
hold what we have.
Enough of the blah and on with
the medicine. I agree with the family
physician that It is all right for the
lady to taka a chaw of chalk, sand.
ashes or sawdust when she wishes. But
I suggest that she keep some wheat
on hand, plain undoctored wheat, a
gram still grown in some places out
west. Let her have a good chew of
wheat a few times a day. Then If tho
place offords raw carrots, turnips or
potatoes she should try chewing such
things. Indeed, I recommend tnat
everybody eat one or two raw vege
tables daily, and If you can possibly
get hold of some wheat, chew some of
that, too. These things are fine for
the teeth, the hair, bones, akin and
Ins Idea. They provide some desirable
vitamins and some desirable mtner-
al. calcium particularly. And while
you are enjoying the treat don't be
stingy let the children have some
too. Even tha baby, especially if he
la unduly fond of woodwork, ashes
and the soil In the flower pots, should
have his dally ration of raw vegetable
scraped into pulp until he has teeth
of hts own.
Here I should like to ask readers
who have had experience In feeding
babies with bananas to tell me whether
the baby who gets some ripe banana
dally from the age of four months
as I think every baby should have
manifests this pica or peculiar appe
tite or craving for such things. At
any rate, babies who do have such
pica "outgrow" it by the second or
third year almost always. Perhaps
that is because their diet is more lib
eral In the variety of things deemed
suitable for the older child, and Just
by chance they get more vitamins In
the fresh items.
QUESTIONS AN'D ANSWERS

Kindly give opinion on the whole

bread, why not buy a peck or a bushel
of wheat, grind It In your coffee mill

production la a little up west
of the Rockies, and quite a little
down east of there, In the drc-utn
belt.
The big reduction Is ln Texas,
which Is the leading turkey-growing
state of the Union. According to the
best advices obtainable, Texas pro
duction is off about 30 per cent.
When we realize that 30 per cent
of Texas' production Is equal to
Oregon's TOTAL production, we can
get an Idea of what that means.
So far as the general market is con
cerned. It la exactly the same as U
Oregon went out of the- turkey
business entirely.
Oklahoma, North Dakota and Min
nesota, all considerable turkey-growing
states, show material reductions
this year due, undoubtedly to the
drouth.
TURKEY production In Oregon,
Mr. Leedy says, will be about
the same as last year, or possibly
a little larger. Douglas county, the
state's leading producer, Is quite a
little down this year. Some Willam
ette valley counties, on the other
hand, show an Increase. Jackson la
about the same.
In Klamath county, there Is a
large Increase, due chiefly to the
growing use of turkeys as a grass
hopper control 'project. Use of tur
keys for grasshopper control has
more than doubled the number
grown there.

"no one csn say right now. It should
be better over the country as a
whole if the strike situation im- i
proves. I
"If It doesn't improve, or If It i
gets worse, the turkey market will
suffer. Men who are out on strike :
have no money with which to buy j
turkeys.
A favorable Indication for the
turkey grower is the Increase m I
prices of competing meats chiefly
chicken and pork. Both are scarcer '
and higher than last year. For the
price of a turkey last year, you
could get about all the pork you
could carry home. Now you CAN'T."
f
EARLY Indications, he Bays, point
to a demand this year for
larger birds. This la the exact re
verse of the past two or three
years, when email birds have been
ln demand due to the fact that
people wanted a turkey for Thanks
giving and Christmas, but didn't
want to pay any more for It than
they had to.
For this reason, the smaller birds
commanded a premium during these
years. It rather looka now aa if the
larger blrda will command the prem

Communications
Against Tax Measure
To the Editor:
Knowing your interest in the
defeat of the so-called 30-mlll tax
limitation bill, I am sending you
the following Information. A state
wide organization of civic, social
service, educational and other Ideal
istic groups who sense the danger
of this proposed legislation, has
been organized with myself acting
as chairman. Additional groups are
coming into our organization almost
hourly as they become aware of the
destruction this thing would cause
ln the work of their organizations
and to the entire social, educational
and financial structure of Oregon.
Following are some of the organ
izations now working and who have
passed resolutions condemning the
30-mlll tax limitation measure as
being a destructive piece of legis
lation without a constructive
thought and a wrecking program
that will bring chaos to Oregon:
The State Federation of Labor. The
Orange, Farm Labor Union, veter
ans' organizations, social service
groups such as visiting nurses, anti
tuberculosis association. Boy Scouts,
Camp Fire Girls. Y. M. C. A. ana
Y. W. C. A. and kindred character
building associations, the family re
lief organization which Is carrying
on the work of public relief to the
more than forty thousand destitute
and unemployed families in our
state, the state teachers' organiza
tionboth grade and high ana
other educational groups Including
the State Parent-Teachers associa
tion who know that if this bill
should pass, our grade and high
schools will be seriously crippled,
their terms shortened, subjects abol
ished, teachers laid off and many
schools will have to go on part
time or be closed entirely.

Please Name Misstatements
To the Editor:
I read your editorial of October 31
with great sympathy and understand
ing. You complained bitterly of al
leged misstatements by candidates
that your Tribune was controlled by
the power company. I recalled the
misstatements you have made recent
ly about Senator Joe Dunne and his
candidacy for governor.
Last Sunday you stated in effect
that Dunne's supporters were terror
stricken and admitting that their
candidate was steadily losing votes.
The reverse is true. The 71-year-old
Major General Martin, before he re
turned from Washington. D. C, and
started his p e r s on a 1 campaign
throughout the state, was generally
conceded to be in the lead. This re
sulted from his being practically un
known to the voters of Oregon, out
side of Portland, and from his being
in the same party as the president
which was supposed to assure him
the vte of the hysterical and im
pressionable branch of the New Deal
followers. Other New Deal followers
can be depended upon to scrutinize
more carefully the candidate's quali
fications. Upon his return to Oregon, the
SECRET leaked out that the general
had been Induced to become a candi
date for governor by Os West, the
well-known utility lobbyist, who
would, of course, be the director gen
eral of Oregon and Advisor to the
Throne. If Martin were elected. Then
the virtual holdup of the HOLC em
ployes ln Portland to obtain Martin's
campaign funds was exposed. Then
as the final puncture that let nearly
all the remaining air out of the "Mar
tin for Governor" balloon and swept
away every vestige of the halo that
being a congressman had painted
around his head, the srlstocratlc gen
eral himself set out upon a personal
campaign tour of the stste. His in
ability to make an acceptable public
address, his extremely cold reserve,
his apparent unwillingness to step
down and meet the common people
ana Discuss tneir problems with
them, and his very evident lack of
experience In, and understanding of
the Internal problems of this stste.
together with the Inescapable evi
dence of his advancing old age, lost
for him not only thousands of vot
ers, but hundreds of ardent campaign
workers. Many who were convinced
that the very qualities that enabled
a man to become a major general In
the army hopelessly disqualified htm
to be a governor, had expected to
find In General Martin an exception
to that rule. They were keenly dis
appointed. That's why leading Dem
ocrats are now saying: "If we had
only kept him ln Washington, D. C,
we could have elected him governor,
and others are saying: "If you want
to assure the overwhelming defeat of
Martin, Just get him to make another .
personal campaign of the state."
To be a successful campaigner and
to be able to effectively address vot
ers In every section of the state and
from every walk of life, the candidate
must have had a wide personal ex
pertence in their problems and must
have a keen understanding of their
needs. He must likewise be diplo
matic and possesed of a warm per
sonality. Therein lies the SECRET
of Senator joe Dunne's campaigning
ability, which you so highly com- J
mended on September 38. Therein
also lies the SECRET of why the
leading newspapers and political fore
casters of the state are conceding
that Dunne Is gaining strength dally
and Martin has slipped Into a poor
third position ln the race. If you did
not share this belief I doubt If you
would find It necessary to write an
editorial every other day attacking
Joe Dunne. 'J
One of the reasons for Senator
Dunpe's outstanding ability and suc
cess as a public official and cam
paigner was recognized by Martin's
strongest supporter, the Democratic
Portland' Journal, when on November
7, 1932, ln discussing Senator Dunne,
It stated: "In public affairs he has
no SECRETS he takes the public
Into his confidence."
