Communications
The Mental Depression
To the Editor:
I see we have with ua one honest
man who doesn't claim to know all
there Is and all that should be. That
1 Bon Brown, who iwks, "Should we
work or not?" I must admit It la
quite a study. The "New Dealers"
have tried to create a depression or
ahortngo In commodities, thereby to
taring bnck to mouey-mUided people
something to conquer. We have tried
for centuries to become lea like elavee
and produce with the .east effort.
When we reached that goal very soon
there wna a mental deprenslon.
Now, If one Is a New Dealer and
a farmer, I think the highest tribute
you could pny your president would
be to butcher nil your cattle, sow
your land to Milt, get on the relief
and consume all you can. If you
don't believe In success by such
methods, do Jurt the opposite so that
you mny have some of the real things
of Hie to help others when the de
pression hewlns In reality.
As to Mr. Harr and hi Townsend
old age Uleaa: Reminds me of a cow
boy who climb bronc and yells;
"Can't slay long, but let her buck.'
He admit the Townxend olan la a
poor scientific principle but wants to i
put it through to show the "Mis-j
sourluns" how ignorant they are.
Now I have no faith In the T. O. P.
and I think that It will never go
through unless a a Inst hope of our i
present "frtup" But we as a body
of people surely don't need to put
our foot In the fire to see If It will
burn, the same a it does our hsndt-
I woulc like to hear from this Mr.
Harr as to where he expect to arrive
by such activities.
As I see It.

SISTERS LETTERS
DEATH OF LOVERS
Aiutoclatod Praaa Foreign Ataff.
ROMFORD, Eng., Feb. 35. IAP)
Elizabeth and Jane Du Bolv who
plunged from an airplane to death
last week, visualized their sutcidea eji
a "pretty atralKht" corridor to the
'dead men they Joied.
A coroner's Jury today returned a
Joint verdict of "suicide while of un
sound mlnda" after they had heard
the contents of two letters which the
girls had Intended only for their fath
er. Coert Du Bo la. United State, con
aul general at Naples, and their
mother.
The father, tight-lipped and whlte
knuclcled, attended the Inquest. The
mother stayed alone at a hotel, still
unaware of the complete details of
her daughters' plunge from a com
mercial transport chip
In their letters, the two beautiful
American glrla told of their grief for
tha deaths of Plying Officer John A
O. Forbea snd Plight Lieutenant
Henry L. Beatty, who were killed at
Messina, Sicily, two weeks ago when
their royal air force flying bost, "Ace
of Diamonds," crashed Into a hillside.
One of tho notes said that Plying
Officer Porbes, engaged to another
girl, waa going to break off his en
gagement In order to marry Jane.
Tha letters were read publicly over
the protests of Franklin o. Oowen.
United States consul.
Oowen argued the letters should be
submitted to the Jury privately as the
father of the two young women had
hoped that their contents might not
be made pubUc. The father, Oowen
said, wished later to read the commu
nications quietly to his wife.
Each girl had written alternate
paragraphs In the letters, one of
which waa addressed to tho father
and the other to the mother.
The coroner said he only did his
duty in reading the letters as without
them It would have been difficult for
the Jury to arrive at a proper verdict.

JUDGE DAY TALKS
County Judge Earl B. Day was prin
cipal speaker at the weekly lluncheon
of Klwanls club this noon, speaking
on legislation and county affairs.
The county departments are oper
ating tn the nest condition in years,
Jude Day said, explaining that ap
proximately 20 departments are rep
resented at the courthouse, and are
operated In harmony through the
medium of the county court.
In speaking of state legislation,
having recently made a visit to the
capital. Judge Day said the "welfare
bill" now before the house Is opposed
by county Judges throughout the
state. He said this bill, which he de
scribed as s, very elaborate setup pre
scribing seven different bureaus that
would necessitate a great cost to the
counties, has been "killed" In tins
committee, and that a "safer and
saner" bill la coming out before tho
close of the cession.
Judge Day, a member of the fores
try division of the Oregon Planning
council, dwelt for some time on the
reforestation program. He aald. that
In order to get from under high taxes
and other Impositions, timber com
panies have slashed the cream of
their holdings, then turned the tim
ber back to the counties. He said 60
per cent of the timber la Jackson
county la under federal control at the
present time.
The speaker said that under the
plan of the council, which Is to re
forest the same amount of timber
that has been cut, Oregon will have
100 years from now aa much timber
as at present. About one third of
present private holdings of timber
iona will be taken over by tho state
under this program, Judge Day said.
nis taut waa preceded by remarks
on county affairs by Ralph Billings,
who said Jackson county has stayed
witnin Us 1934 budget by $1000. The
school districts of the county fund

ment of insurance a saving of $800
waa made.
