PAUL MALLON
IThere are other obvious Indications
thtt II Duce has clamped down the
ltd.
Some fincy morning about five
weeks from now you will probably
awaken to find that the troops who
embarked from Rome a few days
ago have found It necessary to move
from Italian Somaliland Into the
central mountains In Ethiopia near
the French railway.
Those are excellent mountains,
They are particularly excellent from
the standpoint of Italian coloniza
tion. The climate is Ideal, temper
ate at all times, and the soil the
richest In Afrtca for cultivation pur
poses. Furthermore, the mountains
hold hidden mineral deposits, which
are waiting for someone to dig them
out.
Such an Invasion of Ethiopia would
be In self-defense, of course, pos
sibly something like the self-defense
which required Japan to seize Man
chukuo to save Itself from China.
At least this Is the Ethiopian In
the Mussolini woodpile, as discerned
by the best Washington diplomatic
Sources on the basis of their prl
'vate advices from European capitals,
lncltidlng Rome. They may be wrong,
but they do not think so.
These deductions did not require
the services of a diplomatic Sherlock
Holmes. The only thing worth having
In Ethiopia Is the central mountain I
range..
However, Mussolini Is likely to
have his hands full If he tries to
get It. The last time Italy tried to
Invade the hinterland, the Ethiopians
slaughtered nearly 10,000 Italians.
The troops will have to cross swelt
ering, fever-ridden jungle lowlands
in which modern weapons of war
fare are less effective than the In
dian warfare tactics of the fanatical
Ethiopian tribesmen.
Furthermore, the Ethiopians, who
for centuries have been successful In
repelling foreign Invaders, especially
the Italians, are spoiling for a fight.

The morale of American diplomats
, In Europe has dropped considerably,
if It has not collapsed entirely, since
the senate blocked American adher
ence to the world court.
One of the foremost ambassadors
made an off-the-record speech about
it recently which his superiors in
the state department would Just asjdins said this afternoon, that upon
soon forget. There will certainly be
trouble If the senate every finds out
about It. This ambassador has de
scribed himself as "very unhappy and
I don't care who knows it."
Others have been embarrassed In
their relations with European states
men because they were certain the
court resolution would he adopted
and of course made promises and
predictions which now cannot be ful
filled. The senate action seems to have
caused a much greater stir In Euro
pean diplomatic circles than It did
here. Some of our diplomats have j
a feeling that they might as well
come home now and do some spring
planting in the back yard. Their sit
nation In European capitnls is about
as congenial as that of the Ethiopian
minister In Rome.
There are only 320,000 people In
this country who use electricity for
sll power In their homes. Only a mil
lion use power for cooking, five mil
lion for refrigeration, and thirteen
million homes hsve electric lights.
The federal power commission ha
dug up these data to push the agita
tion for cheaper electrical rates. It
is furnishing strong Inspiration on
the InMde for fulfillment of the
Roosevelt power policy. The new
dealers believe It shows that

field is lde open for vast expansion
In the use of electricity by cheapen

BILLS TO ROT IS
S
Lower Branch May Refuse
to Consider Senate's
Measures Until Coopera-i
tion Obtained, Is Warning
SALEM, Feb! 19. (AP) Members
of the house of representatives today.
Irked by the apparent lack of con
sideration of their measures In the
sennte. today threatened a similar re
volt to that which delayed action
for several days in the Oregon legis
lature two years ago.
Members of the lower house, head
ed by Representative Moore Hamil
ton of Jackson county, Democrat,
declared they had enough support
to table senate bills until the senate
either refrains from killing house
measures or starts to bring many
out of committees, which have been
held up since late last month. The
threat was made public today.
Bills Left to Rot.
"Members are getting tired of hav
ing their bills allowed to rot on sen
ate committees." Hamilton declared.
"The senate has many meritorious
measures that must come before the
house, and others worthy of con
sideration. We have no desire to
place an obstacle in the path of this
legislation, but we take the position
that many of our bills of equal Im
portance should receive action. By
tabling the bills we will not cause
their deathj but place ourselves In a
position to trade take the bills off
the table if and when' the senate de
cides to bring our bills out of the
various commit tees."-
To date 425 bills have been Intro
duced In the house. A number have
been withdrawn In order that sub
stitute bills covering the contents
of several might be consolidated in
one bill. Others have been Indefi
nitely postponed and many have
been put to death by senate disap
proval. But of this number approxi
mately one-fourth are still awaiting
action by senate committees. In ad

resolutions and memorials.

Of the bills yet to come on the

EFFECT !N MEDFORD
Local banking authorities were
agreed today that while having prac
tically no effect In Medford, so far
away from the nation's banking cen
ters, Hhe gold clause decision hand
ed down by the supreme court yes
terday will undoubtedly have a good
moral effect In restoring corffldence
to the people of the United States.
President E. H. Harder, of the
First National bank here, today
stated that the ruling will remove
the last barrier to confidence In this
country, and will result in a type
of credit Inflation, in which the
banking Institutions will have less
fear In lending, and the people less
fear in borrowing money. Other than
that, he said that the clpf te would
have no particular effect In this
city.
Fred Wahl, cashier of the Farmer's
and Fruitgrower's bank, asserted the
same thing, stressing the point of
the morsl effect of increased confi
dence, as did Geo. T. Frey, of the

A plan to bring canned tomato
products under the provisions of the!
Oregon-Washington melon- tomato
code, with a prospect of more than
doubling the output of canneries in
the two states, is under considera
tion by the Canners' association and
the Joint melon-tomato control
board, according to C. Wesley Wil
liams of this city, treasurer of the
board..
Average consumption of csnned
tomato products in the two states
amounts to 500,000 cases annually,
Mr. Williams reports, while produc
tion cf Oregon and Washington can
neries averages only about 100.000
cases per year.
Canned tomato products. It Is re
ported, are Imported by Pacific north
west Jobbers prlnclpslly from Mary
land. Utah and California, where
: cannery waes ranging from 8 to 13
cents per hour give much lower can
ning cost, than in Oregon ana
Washington where the labor laws
establish a minimum wage of 37 V
cents per hour for cannery workers.
The melon-tomsto control board
of the two states. Mr. Williams says,
has proposed to the Canners' asso
ciation that all tomato products be
brought under the code and that
minimum price to retailers be es
tablished to provide a fair return to
growers, with reasonable profits to
canners. Jobbers and transportation
agencies.
An assessment on all canned to

Including those brought In from

18. See by today 's papers Mr.
Townsend appeurcd before the
senate committed ami they bad
a lot of Cnn and laughter nt his
plan.
Well, they cun have some fun
with the amount, but they can't
have much fun with the idea of
paying a pension. You see, it's
not just some idealistic crank's
or bolshevistic idea. All the rest
of the world are doing it but us
We thought we had a better
idea. We called it a "poor
farm," and everybody that
could afford it or had any po
litical influence put their oh!
relatives there.
Now Townsend may have t"
take only 25 or 15 per cent, of
his original idea, but the Bcna
tors are nnt going to laugh
themselves out of paying a pension.
