Tovrnwnd plan. 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.
"There will be no debt on the g-jv-eminent.

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.

Most favorable action of major

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
