PSGE EIGHT MEDFORD MUC TRIBTjrNTS, MEDFORD. OREGON, MONDAY, JULY 22. 1933 E PAROLE SLATED Gordon L. Bchermerhom, former sheriff of Jackaon county, serving t three-year term In state prison on conviction of ballot theft, is scheduled to receive a parole within the next month, according to au thoritative word received In this elty. Bchermerhom entered the pen itentiary August IB, 1934, and will be eligible under the parole laws when that date next rolls around. It Is understood that the state board will act favorably upon Scher merhorn 's application and that the sttorney-general will not protest Its granting. Schermerhorn when committed to the state prlnon, was given assur ances by the coxirt and the assist nt attorney-general that he would be granted freedom after hs had served six months. That dats would have expired last January. The par ole board then held, Schermerhorn would have to serve one-third of his sentence, ere a parole could be granted. Schermerhorn since his Incarcera- 41on has been a model prisoner, em ployed In the prison butchershop. The expected reiense of Schermer horn would leave but two of the ballot-theft defendants In the pen itentiary Walter J. Jones of Rogue River, and Earl H. Pehl, each serv-: lng four year terms. Two applies-1 Hons for parole by Jonea have been denied. He was an "allbi-wttnesa" for Banks in the latter's trial fori murder at Eugene. Fehl has had his request for liberty denied the same number of times. Protests have neen filed from this county against parole for Fehl except upon the condition that he not return to this county during Its duratton. If Jones and Fehl serve their full time, they will be released next April. No protests have been filed against , parole for Schermerhorn at any time from this county.

CONGER FUNERAL PARLOR WEST MAIN AT NXWT0WN Solicited For Membership In Order of Golden Rule and Declined tion waa found to bs depressing the pries of basic farm commodities." Vote Comes Quickly Ths vote came quickly today after the subject had been debated for two hours Saturday. LaPtollette'a proposal was opposed vigorously by Chslrman Smith, (D., 8. C), of the senate agricultural com mittee, which had atrlcken out the house language entirely. Smith de clared It was an expansion of the "protective" system which he had al ways opposed. Senators McNary and Steiwer voted for the LaFolletts amendment. Ths vols came after parliamentary maneuvers In which several adminis tration leaders joined In sn effort to get ths smendment to conference with ths house In some form as s means of avoiding further delay. Seventeen democrats voted against ths Import quotas while 38 democrats. 20 republicans, one progressive snd one farmer-laibor supported them. Long Has Say Ths proposal to let It go to confer ence with the house without further debate waa apreed upon after the senate accepted a ruling by the vice president that the conferees would be required to bring back "some kind of an amendment" along the lines sought by both branches. Senator Long, D., La.), put In that "I am not in favor of legislating any further power to the president," add ing that before he would surrender the senate authority to legislate he would "resign snd be put on the re lief rolls, where I would belong." Under the LaFollette amendment, the president would be empowered, after an Investigation by the tariff commission, to Impose quotas on farm products from any nation. Any country which voluntarily restricted its shipment to this country to AO per cent of the 1028-U33 average would not be subject to the quota restriction, however. The vote came after Senator Van denberg (R., Mich.), had submitted figures to Indicate that imports had increased in the case of corn by 6.100 per cent from 1 30 bushels I n the first quarter of 1932 to 4.000.000 or more bushels in the first quarter of 1935 butter from 127.000 pounds in the first quarter of 1934 to 8.538.000 pounds In the first quarter of 1935.
