We will abundantly up port you in this. "U. R. J3HURTLEFF, "Chairman." Eight points Advocating the plna were brought out ty Dr. Dyer, w;v declared "it is a people's movement to rewtoro recovery uud employment and therefore the people must dem onstrate tluU they want it." "It any burliest man In Met I ford la ftcalimt it. he Is weak in the hcitd." the speaker declarel. and the crowd cheered. Dr., Dyer, whose talk here was his j first in uiPun in a ni-iiuumu eluding lectures nt Eugene. Salem and Portland, said he accepted -hc position of executive director of the movement because he was convinced the plan effects every man. woman and child In the United Slates nnd it Is everybody's Job to advocate it. The speaker came to Mcdford fnnu Los Angeles. Santa Maria and Santa Cruz. Cal.. where ho opened this series of lectures. L. R. Shurtlefr. president of the Medford Towns nd club, was chairman at the meeting. President Rhodes of the Grants P'ss club wa nlfo on the platform. In an Informal, friendly talk ex pressed with many gestures and In terspersed with humor that brought frequent cheers from the crowd, Or Dyer outlined the reasons why he believes the plan meets all tents. " Hie plan came out of the greatest economic earthquake the nation has ever known. It is a movement for national recovery rather than for nat ional relief." he snld. "Maldlatriuu ' tlon of the national Income is the root of present ovlls. Underconsump tion forced by the luck of whio withal to buy Is the bl problem, rather than overproduction." Dr. Dyer said the plan would put Into quick circulation about $2.0ui), 000.000 per month or 'J4.000.000.- I 000 per year, through Its fundnmen- tal principal of giving an adequate pension of $200 ier month to '.II citl?.ens 00 yours of iw a"i over, who would bo required to withdraw train gainful occupation and spend th penMon In 30 days within the United States. He said that 4.000.000 Jobs would be vacated the first Monday after the pension went Into effect, and tha: their positions would be occupied by the fit. youtift men and women of the nation. Dr. Dyer dd. "It has been the greatest tragedy of the depression that thero hae been so many III and ready for work and no Jobs !o; them." "Besides bringing recovery and em ployment, the plan will bring arii quale security to in,(hW.(HH) ciders ol our homes and country " Dr. Dyer said the eor-t of the pl.m Is not too great. ' It Is too nukii for relief, but not too much for re eovery, employment nnd security. A mall pension would be a bin den The next point the speaker hioui.i out was that he believes the moll' v can be provided. He s.i;d the sal.' or business done In one year in llv. United states amounts to more th.ui 100,(HIO,OOH.UO( per month, Therefor,' he declared, the J pr cent ti.ui.vu (Ions ftide, tx would produce nri:v than 2.piK' opu tHo ier month oi more than enough to provide for t.t pensions.

Use Mall Trioune want aas ;LE LOAD CITY LIMITS FIRST COME FOR HOI REPAIR In an open meeting of an explans- tory nature before loe.l member, of building trades, building material dealers and contractors Friday night 1 nt the city hall, George Davis, credit manager for the Lorent company ot Klamath Falls, elucidated for those present the various financial steps to be taken In order to obtain money for remodeling of homes under title 1, national housing act. Davis stated to the group that in Klamath Falls, more loans had been n.ade in one week after the dealers had become fully acquainted with the esse and simplicity of obtaining the loans, than had been made in the preceding four months. He went on to explain this easo to those In terested In Medford, stating that speed was the primary note In gain ing the federal loans. One banker In Astoria, where the plan has been most successful In the state, made a complete loan In lefts than 8 minutes. The loan. Davis stated, are primarily "char acter" loans In nature, and the per ron taking them need only have good credit standing to obtain the money. The loans are Insured by the federal government for 20 per cent of their face, nnd this amount Is ac cumulative, with the result that after the plan has been in opera tion for a time, the loans are backed 100 per cent. Loans are made up to $3000 and the money enn be spent In any form of Improvement to property, or even for construction of new buildings up to that amount. The maximum loan is regulated by the person's income, and may be as small as $50. The smallest possible monthly payment is 5, and in all cases the earnings of the person nuwt bo at least 'lve times the monthly payments. Out of 83 loans, averaging $400 each. In the city of Astoria, not one payment on any loan Is so much in arrears ns one day, Davis aaid, stressing again the fact that the loans were "character" In nature, based upon the person's reputation nnd not upon assets, and whether the property to be improved is mort gaged, or the taxes thereon delin quent, does not enter into the mat tor. In the city of Klamath Falls, It Is expected that a quarter of a muuon dollars will be loaned, Davis stating that each dollar thus spent will turn over nt least five times In the com munity. Through this plnn, the re lief roles of Astoria have dwindled almost to the vanishing point, and the building trades have profited enormously. Much the same thing is hoped for this community. All those in terested in taking loans, can get in formation from any local bank or credit company, or from the building supply dealers, Davis stated. The gist of the plnn. ns practiced In Klamath Falls, Is for each con tractor, builder, plumber, electrician or Jobber to become perfectly fa miliar with the setup of the housing anA nmunint their customers with the simplicity of the act. Once I one person In a block paints or re models his house, his netgnnors De- gin to notice needed repairs In their own homes, and the movement gath ers momentum rapidly. Davis was Introduced by H. a. Thlcrolf. of the Big Pines Lumber company here. . In 1033 there was one death in :h first year of life for every 17 children born, while In 1915 one of every 10 died.

J(API LulT1B,r M galn in the twelfth district, and building values were up sharply from De cember levels. New con-stiuctlon con tracts slackened. Shipping showed a good gain, especially to Japan. Re- tall trade was spotty. Wholesalers !n apparel, furniture and appliance lines reported the best sales in years during the Ban Francisco market week. (By the Associated Press) Most favorable action of major business indicators was the Increase in carloadtngs by a margin greater than usual for this time of tho year for the week ended February 2. Mis cellaneous freight showed greatest gains. Lumber production rose sharply for the week ended February 3 against an ordinarily expected decline, and seasonally adjusted indexes bounded up. Orders continued ahead of pro duction. Some analysts viewing the busi ness picture In a broad mnrjner were discouraged by the break In friendly relations between organized labor chiefs and the Washington ad ministration, and the agony of sus pense created by the delay In n su premo court decision on t he gold clause. Plans for extension of the national industrial recovery act being for warded In the national capital brought cheer or gloom to business men, depending on their predeter mined attitude on the legislation.
