which swept western Oregon recently,
the chamber of commerce believes
this Is an appropriate time to stage
such a campslgn and they hope that
everyone will co-operate by cleaning
up fire hasards which exist Around
the buslneaa and residential districts.
Tn this work the fire department will
aalt, and It la expected to employ
a number of young boys to help In
cleaning up the city In an efficient
manner.
The committee pointed out that the
city has a very efficient and effective
fire department, and that thl cam-!
palgn in motivated by a desire to!
eliminate fire hn cards which would
naturally tend to keep Insuranco rates
in Medford at minimum. The com
mittee also offcra the suggestion that
home owners take the opportunity
now of having their chtmneytt cleaned
before winter seta In, The whole pro
gram. It was pointed out this morn-j
lng by the Chamber of Commerce, Is
In keeping with Its policy to promote
elrlc project at all times, designed!
to make Medford a happier and safer
community.

AFTER SUPPORT

(Continued from Page One.)
vately here concerning the president'
praise of Al Smith's program of "prac
tical Intelligence" as governor of New
York. This program waa carried for
ward during his own gubernatorial
term,' Mr. Roosevelt said, and ad
vanced under Governor Herbert H.
Lehman.
Earlier, Mr. Roosevelt spoke of
Smith a one of the men who held
the aame "philosophy of government"
at the time he entered politics in
New York state years ago.
Particular attention waa attracted
to these remarks because of Smith's
present opposition to the New Deal,
and becauae the former Roosevelt
ally will make a radio speech tomor
row night Immediately following that
of the president.
The chief executive spoke laat night
as a "conservative liberal."
(I. . I, Leadership NemnJns.
He did not mention the Republican
vlce-presldentlal nominee by name,
but said the "real, actual undercover
Republican leadership Is the same as
It waa four years ago." He asserted
It would "never comprehend the need
for a program of social Juetice and
of regard for the wnll-bclng of the
masses of our people."
Comparing Republican promises of
tho past with those of the present,
h asserted:
"Tho same lack of purpose of ful
fillment Ilea behind tho promises of
today. You cannot be an old guard
Republican In the east, and a new
deal Republican In the west.
"You cannot promise to repeal
taxes before one audience and prom
ise to spend more of the taxpayers'
money before another audience.
Cunnot Make Good.
"You cannot promise tax reduc
tion for those who can afford to pay
and. at the same time, promise more
of the taxpayers' money for those
who are in need. You simply cannot
make good on both promisee at tho
same time."
In mocking tones, the president
warned against "smooth evaders," who
he said promise to do all the things
the new deal hss done without cost
to anybody.
He nald the opposition was "bank
ing too heavily on the short new of
our memories."
No one will forget that they had
their golden opportunity twelve long
years of It," he added amid laughter
and applause.
Remember." ho continued, "that
the first essentia! of doln a JH wii
la to want to see the Job done. But
make no mistake about this the Re-
nubllcanleaderehlp today la not
against the way we have done the Job.
The Republican leadership Is against
the Job being done."
Have Two-Fold Task.
Mr. Roosevelt set off a demonstra
tion at the outset when he asserted
the task of the Democrat waa two
fold; to separate the "false from tho
real Issues; and secondly, with facts
and without rancor, to clarify the
real problems for tho American public."
Then, calling attention to "malic
ious opposition" that hurled charges
against Washington, Jefferson, Jack
son, Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and
Wilson, ho brought laughter and
cheers when he said:
In this campaign another herring
turns up."
He referred to communism.
"Hero and now, once and for all.
let us bury that red herring and de
stroy the false Issue," he aascrtcd.
LANDON RELEASES
CONDEMNATION OF
AGE PENSION PLAN
Taxes Under New Deal Pro
gram Will Fall Hardest
On Workers Is Claim
Based on Filenc Report
TOPEKA, Kas., Sept. 30. (AP)
Gov. Alt M. Landon made public to
day a social security study which
said old age Insurance taxes of the
New Deal law would fall "almost"
entirely on "the earners of the na
tion." "This report," the Republican presi
dential nominee told reporters "was
made by the twentieth century fund
supported by the Fllene foundation."
The candidate spoke on social se
curity In Milwaukee Saturday, term
ing the present law "bungling,"
want fully financed, "stupidly draft
ed" and a "cruel hoax" on tho work
ing man In lta compulsory old age
Insurance provisions. He urged a
"pay-as-you-go" plan for paying pen
sions to the aged with funds raised
through widely distributed direct
taxes,
The research report distributed by
Landon said of the existing law:
"Hie attempt to finance these con
tributory pensions exclusively by
means of flat payroll and wage taxes
Is unsound. In view of the fact
that tho standard of living of the
low Income groups should not be
further lowered It is essential that
these new costs be financed out of
taxes based on the principle of ca
pacity to pay. I
"Why should not the needs of ordi- j
nary government and of social ee- i
curlty bo recognized as a gross cost
and the tax system adjusted to meet,
the total burden as a regular cost of
government?
"To do this new sources would have
to be found and these might be taxes
on payrolls and wages, as provided
under the social security act, or sales
taxes of various kinds, or an Increase
In direct taxation on Incomes through
a strengthening of the Income tax,
or, what Is moro likely, a combina
tion of several forms of taxation,"
The report said a 50,000,000 re-
servo fund which the act would ac
cumulate waa "unnecessary," and
"could hardly hope to survive legists
tlvo raids."
land could benefit from water flow
ing from the tank.
He claims 91800 for liquidated dam
ages and 91000 for actual damage
from loss and Injury to crops. The
first sum is figured at 110 per day
from November 10, 1935, to May 14,
lea. nd, the latter sum covers the
period from 1031 to 1930.
The septic tank Is not In use
since the city started to use the new
sewage disposal tank, and the Carter
claim refers to the period before the
transfer In systems. Ho also asks
that the deed to the property occu
pied by the tank be reverted to him

ASHLAND, Sept. 30. (8pl.) Henry
H. Carter and his wife, Lou M. Car
ter, filed suit against the city of
Ashland In circuit court Monday for
2800, claiming nn alleged breach of
septlo tank agreement entered Into
by the city and the Carter Land com

ment this week by R. O. Beach, dis
trict sales manager with headquar

Morledge has already assumed duties
In this area and, with Mrs. Morledge,

He will have supervision of a large
territory embracing southern Oregon
counties and' a portion of northern
California.
"We aro glad to havu Mr. Mo-!edge
In this sect.on of the coast," R. a.
-Beach said before leaving this city
for his Portland hcaaquartera. "His
experience well qualifies him for this
Important post In the P. Lortllard or
ganization. Rapidly Increasing sales
for both Old Gold cigarettes and
Br legs smoking tobacco In the su th
em Oregon -northern California ter
ritory make Mr. Morledge's position
an Important one and we feel that
our selection has been well made."
An aggressive campaign for Old
Oold "factory-fresh, double-mellowed"
cigarettes, conducted during re
ccrt months hero, is resulting In

Highest Grade of Produce
Shipped Because of Pres
ent Transportation Cost
GRANTS PASS, Bept. 30 (AP)
The Interstate commerce commission
received testimony Tuesday to show
that the only reason southern Ore
gon Is able to market any products
today is the same reason that would
account for great Increases In ship
ment of lumber, minerals and" fruit
should the Grants Pass to Crescent
City railroad be completed.
A dozen witnesses testified In the
hearing's final session yesterdsy
morning that the reason products
here'ean be shipped and marketed Is
that only the peak grade of wood
products, pears, limestone, ohromo
and copper ore or concentrates. buIbB
and crop seed Is ever sent out of
southern Oregon over the barrier of
present transportation costs.
Rail transportation to tidewater,
bringing heavy tonnage facilities close
to the timber, lime, chrome, copper
and agricultural resources of the
southern Oregon territory, would so
broaden the bate of profitable opera
tions as to build up large Increases
In volume of shipments, the witnesses
declared for the record which will be
forwarded by Frank C. McCollocb
Oregon public utility commissioner,
to the Interstate commerce commis
sion for action on the Orant Pass
and Crescent City request for per
mission to form the rail connection.
