U. S. Attorney Tells Demo
cratic Audience Hoover
Policies Brought Greatest
Danger to United States
Before a packed house at Demo
cratic headquarters here last nlgbt,
Carl C. Donaugh, United States at
torney for the district of Oregon,
polnt&i to the record for public wel
fare established by President Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, charging that the
entire brunt of the recent depression
could be charged to the Hoover-Re -publican
administration, and adding
that the entire credit lor Increased
national Income, decreased unem
ployment and lessening of the strain
on national business could be credit
ed to the Roosevelt administration
alone.
The basic principles of the con
stitution were never in greater dan
ger from communism or dictatorship
than through the policies pursued by
the Hoover administration,' he said
"Unemployment, soup kitchen, mort
gage foreclosures, bank failures, bank
holidays, stagnation of business, are
the conditions that cause peneral de
spondency and a breakdown In moral
stamina."
Flanking Act Cited.
Donaugh spoke at length on the
benefits of the banking act estab
lished under the Roosevelt reginfe.
"Between 1931 and 1933 there wore
11,467 -bank failures in the United
States," he said. "Deposits totaling
$5,500,000,000 were affecti-d by this
appalling tragedy. Millions saw their
life savings .wept away. With the
enactment of the banking act; pro
viding In part for the insurance of
bank deposits up to ftS.Ouu, conditions :
have been completely reversed. Since
Its enactment and under Its opera
tion during the past three years there
have been but 61 failures, with de
posits totaling less than 916.000,000.
In fact, the president announced a
few days ago at Pittsburgh that there
had not been a single national bank
failure during the past year. Tills
constitutes a record for the past 58
years. No piece of legislation has
done more to bring money out of hid
ing, to restore confidence and busl
Jnoss stability than the act creating
the federal deposit insurance cor
poration. Glanlnnl Quoted.
"Hero Is what A. P. Otaninnl, chair
man of the Bank 'of Amorica, has to
say: 'Due to the legislation of tho
last three and a hatf yeara our banks
are now In a better position than at
any time In the past to Justify the
confidence of the average men and
woman who trust their savings to
.them. When the banking system was

depression. It was found that this
confidence bad vanished because the
basis for Its continuance no longer
existed. Deposits shrank by millions.
At the end, banks In unprecedented
numbers were forced to close. Presi
dent Roosevelt lmmedlacely grasped
the situation and under his leader
ship two vital steps were taken, to
be followed by others, to restore con
fidence, make banking operations
safer, and give absolute assurance to
depositors. Future generations In
surveying the experience of the past
and viewing the ruinous effects of
lost bank deposits, may well wonder
that the apparently wanton disre
gard for the safety of bank deposits
so long existed."
London Opposed Act-
Mr. Donaugh continued: "Contrast
th Roosevelt record and. the opinion
of America's foremost banker wltn
what Governor Landon had to Bay
when the bill to Insure bank deposits
was pending In congress. He Is cred
ited with wiring Senator Capper at
that time, saying 'The pending bank
ing bill Is extremely Injurious to state
banks and threatens their very ex
istence. I urge your active opposi
tion to the guarantee section.' Later,
in an address before the American
Bankers association convention In
Chicago, In 1933, he used this lan
guage; 'There Is no question In my
mind that the guarantee of bank de
posits Is a greater blow to the ulti
mate welfare of tho American people
than the widest inflation of the cur
ency could possibly be. In my Judg
ment, the guarantee of bank deposits,
if carried out In this country to the
logical conclusion, will completely de
stroy the entire banking system of the
nation.
"Under such & conflict of opinion
on legislation so vitally affecting the
average American citizen X am con
fldeut that the voters will register
overwhelming approval for the Rooso
velt policies rather than the policies
such as here expressed by Governor
Landon," the speaker said.
Mr, Donaugh pointed out the
Roosevelt record In coming to the
rescue of states In carrying the bur
den of 33,000,000 persoiu, represent
ing 6,000,000 families on direct re
lief. "For relief In Oregon, exclusive
of CWA, PWA and other agencies,"
Donaugh said, "federal funds alloted
for relief purposes In this state
amounted to 22,316,093 up, to Janu
ary 1. 1936, most of it an outright
gift.
Oregon Benefit Told.
"Under tho Civil Works Admlnii
trntion, operated from January to
May, 1C34, there were 1886 projects
In Oregon Involving the expenditure
of federal funds of 6,454,133, 80 per
cant In actual wages and 30 percent
for . materials. Under the Public
Works administration, 100.000.000 in
round numbers has been expended In
the state, representing 59 tchools, 28
water supplies, 13 sewage disposal
plants, not to speak of tho five coast
bridges, the slate capltol, Bonneville
dam and others. These rrojects have
given employment to some 100,000 men
and have lnonectly affected 30,000
persons.
"Under the Works Progress Admin
istration the first project was started
In the stato on September 13. 1935.
There have been ns high as 596 proj
ects In operation at one ttmo with
33,673 workers. Under the Home
Owners Loan corporation 9,400 homo
owners were able to save their homes
from foreclosure. These loans total- I
ed J18.500.000. No act of any ad-1
ministration will have more lasting
benefit than the Civilian Conserve-1
Mon corps. Thus far, 1.300.000 young
men have enrolled. They are receiv
ing an education, are aiding In pro
tecting our vast natural resources,
and Instead of remnining Idle arc

No Credit to O. O. P.
"Whatever may be advocated by
the Republican leadership, the fact
remains that none of the beneficial
acts to which I hove referred were
sponsored or advocated by Repub
lican leadership and the credit for
their enactment and progress made
rightfully belongs to tbe Roosevelt
administration and to the admin
istration alone. The Issue of tbe
present campaign Is clear cut. It
meaus either a return to the so-called I
Rppubllcan free enteiprtse which j
brought about the conditions prior ,
to 1033 nr it means a continuance j
or the policies which have brought
about constructive progress under
President Roosevelt.
All Democratic candidates for coun
ty offices were present at the meet

Ralph Stephenson, candidate for
the state legislature, made a few re
marks, and James Stevens, also legts

To the Editor:
I have Just read Vern Marshall's
letter In your editorial column, and,
sketchily, your editorial..
Like Mr. Marshall I have read the
Tribune quite a while and really like
the lousy paper. And I agree better
than fifty per cent with Mr. Marshall.
I have always liked the editorial
comment of the Tribune but lately It
has been one continuous pain In the
neck.
Unlike Mr. Marshall I prefer that
jou stay right here at home or, if you
must travel, keep quiet about It My
pleasure In your editorials ended
when you followed that load of hay
In heavy traffic across New York
state.
I am normally Republican or
Democrat. I am never sure which.
But this year I'm neutral not even
a good Communist. t
Five years ago I watched Hoover
trying to do something with a balky
Democratic congress.
Four -years ago I listened to all the
vitriolic comment, of Mr. Roosevelt
and his pals, directed at Mr. Hoover.
I voted for Hoover.
For the past three years I have
been a pretty consistent believer In
R cose vel t. M r. Roose v el t 's recent

defensive.
About three weeks ago I tossed i
coin to see who my choice) for presl

afraid It won't until election day.
And then I'll Just vote with my eyes

Disagrees with Man-halL
To the Editor:
I read the communication signed
by Vern Marshall In which he asked
you to haul In your horns and stop
writing, editorials favoring President
Roosevelt. Well now, Mr. Editor, I
think that is an extraordinary request
for a man to make who already has
Landon elected by a big majority, and
anything you could say wouldn t
make a particle of difference anyhow
and as long as you are telling the
truth In your future editorials the
same as you have In the past, X am
In favor of you continuing writing
them. It can't possibly do any harm
it Is a foregone conclusion, ac
cording to the Literary Digest, that
Landon Is lust as good as elected
already, so say the Republicans.
A great many people try awfully
hard to make themselves believe that
It Is actually going to come to pass
and I believe that Mr. Vern Marshall
is honest in what he says and I nave
no doubt but what he is one of the
best fellows In the world. But I beg
to disagree with him as I firmly be
lieve that Roosevelt will bo re-elect
ed as he has made one of the best
presidents we have ever had and one
who has the intelligence, the ability
and statesmanship thai few others
In the good old U. S. can boast of,
and he also has the courage to stand
up for what he believes Is right and
will coutlnue to do so.
Why any businessman, doctor, law
yer, working man or property holder
will or can vote against Roosevelt Is
a mystery to me, when the CCO alone
has caused more money to be clrcu
lated In Medford than was ever known
before, not to mention the rise in
gold per ounce which has enabled
thousands of people to make a living
along the streams of southern Ore
gon.
But what's the use of multiplying
words? The 3rd of November will
settle the question and tbe people
will either elect one of the best presi
dents we have ever had or a man
no matter how good a man who Is
backed by such men a Hoover,
Hearst and all the big monled Inter
ests In the country. Take your choice
