Between 700 and 800 Plots
Will Be Planted in Jack
son County Oregon Re
lief Work Sets Example
-Jackson county will have planted
between 700 end 800 subsistence
gardens this year." aald Ralph H
Mitchell of Portland connected with
the atate relief administration, on
tour of the southern Oregon SEFA
project, transient camps, etc., with
Clarence W. Reynolds, stat director
of the camps. They are a: the Jack
son. "Ttaia wtH prove one of the finest
pieces of work of state relief this
year," oontlnued Mitchell, "In the
probable planting of more than 33,
000 gardens by the relief families In
the state. Plans are already working
out for the canning operations at
portable and stationary canneries so
that plenty of foodstuffs, grown by
the relief client, will be made avail
able for these families during the
coming winter.
Plan Portable Cannery.
"At the Savage creek camp for
transients where 130 men are now
enrolled, a portable cannery ma
chine Is being assembled and will be
made available to care for euch can
ning operations throughout Jackson
county as may be made necessary
throiiKh the plantings of gardens by
the Medford transient center and
other relief organizations.
"Some 750.000 cans of beans, to
matoes, corn and other vegetables
were canned laat year, and It ap
pends from the Interest shown that
this total will hit the million can
mark. Thousands of dollars have been
spent by the state relief adminis
tration in the purchase of seed for
the various 36 counties.
"Jackson county Is making quit a
record In the SERA projects which
the state administration has ap-!
pwved. well In keeping with the
reputation held by the state of Ore
gon In Its standing back In Wash
ington. There Oregcn stands well
In the Closs-A division. Oregon has
done its share to help take care of
her relief clients and that Is the
reason the FERA has been willing
to' meet the state more than half
way and donate the necessary fund
requested.
Spend Million Month.
'Last year Oregon's relief pro
gram cost approximately 90,000,000.
Thla year It appears that It wlU run
close to 1,000,000 per month. The
state now la furnishing or con
tributing to the relief setup 380.000
a month from liquor funds, the
local, that la city or county politi
cal subdivisions, run close to 9100,000
and the remainder, or some 9700,000
per month, comes from the federal
government.
"Thla great relief program In ope
ration la not realised by tha public
generally. The fact that the seven
transient camps In the stata are
housing, feeding and helping some
1600 men and boys, thus keeping
thorn off the highways, off the police
rolls of the various cities of the
state. Is a Godsend In Itself. Theste
men and boys, from 75 to 14 years
of age, are regaining lost confi
dence: they are realizing Uncle Sam
wants to do something for them, but
at the same time he expects them
to work. In other words, they must
earn their board and keep In butld
ln roads, clearing ditches, cutting
wood, felling timber, Improving ma
terial things, aa well as themselves,
In being given the opportunity not
only to work but also to get more
education through books and in
struction, like that given at the
Clackamas camp near Portland, where
the bnya In the camp have to go
to school certain hours per week.
"Oregon haa been fortunate In
having the type of people in Ite
etat and county relief committees
which has seen the necessity of re
building manhood In constructive
and worthwhile endeavor for those
unfortunates coming within the
scope of relief."

Minnesota Witness at Sen
ate Hearing Charges Op
pression Persecuted for
Employing Union Labor
By NATHAN BOIIKKTSON
Associated Press Staff Writer.
WASHINGTON, April 3, (AP) A
self-termed small business man com
plained to the senate finance com
m lit tee today that big business had
attempted to coerce and Intimidate
him through an NRA code authority.
George 8. Tracy, president of the
Perkins-Tracy Printing company ol
St. Paul, Minn., was the witness.
the first of the "little fellow" group
to charge oppression under the blue
eagle to the Investigating senators.
Compiled With Code.
He said the graphic arts code au
thority, dominated by big business
firms, sought to keep him from
getting a state printing contract on
the charge he bid below cost, though
he was complying with the code wage
and hour provisions.
Smith L. gcoggln, president of the
St. Paul Typographical union, backed
up Tracy's charge. He contended the
Perkins-Tracy company was "perse
cuted" for employing union labor.
As Tracy testified, the federal trade
commission announced It was pre
paring a complaint against the Rub
ber Manufacturers' Association, Inc.,
unulher NKA code authority, on
charges of price fixing. This action
developed from testimony before the
finance committee on the sale of
fire hose.
Blames Big Companies.
Tracy said his business was purely
lntra-state. He charged the code au
thority tried to make him adopt a
system of cost accountnlg under
which he would have continued to
charge depreciation after his ma
chinery was paid for.
Some one directly concerned as a
competitor, he said, was making an
effort to prejudice his bid. Tracy
also contended the code authority
action apparently was dictated by
three big printing companies which
he said had a monopoly in the Twin
Cities.
He said he favored the wage and
hour provisions of NRA, but was
opposed to price fixing because It
would give the big companies an ad
vantage. Scoggln aald he was opposed to
"any trade association governing a
code." He said his organization feu
a "great injustice" had been done
to the Perkins-Tracy company.
NOVEL ENTERTAINMENT
BY GIRLS' LEAGUE FOR
MEDFORD HI ASSEMBLY
Something new in entertainment
was presented by the Girls League at
their assembly at the local high
school this afternoon. "Aladdin and
Ills Magic Lamp," was tha theme
which carried the program through
out various foreign countries. A
group of Chinese Mother . Goose
rhymes were given by eight girls
dressed In bright colored Chinese pa
jamas. Fallowing this was an amus
ing Imitation of a typical German
band given by seven members of the
Girls' League. Frances Combers rep
resented the Indian race with the
song "Pale Moon." Next AJclko and
Naoka Sal to gave a Japanese dance
in the native costume.
The last number on the program
was "The Spirit of 76" cleverly por
trayed by three girls.
As the girls do the asking this
week, quite number of them
brought the boy friends to this as
sembly. Although this has been a
custom for many years some are still
too shy to ask the boys to sit with
them.
Tomorrow afternoon the mothers
