PA (IE 'IT1 REE L r 4 OF IIS DECISION STATPSJOTERS Measure On Ballot Spon sored by Grange and Labor Would Serve As Depository State Money 1 Guilty Of Slaying By Clayton V. Bernard. SALEM. Oct. 27. (AP) Do the citizens of Oregon want to establish a "Bank of Oregon" to do a general banking business and to be a de pository of all moneys of the state? The question will be up for de cision at the November 3 scneral election. The measure, sponsored by the state grange and the Federation of I Labor, calls for a statute creating such a bank with the board of di rectors made up of the state treas urer, as chairman; the governor, sec retary of state, the attorney general, and the labor commissioner all of them elective oflclals. Under State Control. The bank would be operated, the proposal provides, under the state banking laws, set its own rate of In terest, guarantee all deposits, and make loans to government and pri vate agencies. The law provides preference of loans shall be made as fallows: 1, the state; 3, counties; 3. cities and districts; 4, non-profit corporations or associations; 5, in dividuals; a, corporations for profit. . A manager for the bank would be named by the board of directors. Loans on real property and warehouse receipts would be limited as well as loans to Individuals, with preference given to loans under $1,000. Other Banks Cited. Proponents of the measure point to the state bank of North Dakota as an example of a "sound institu tion," stating better Interest rates for state funds could be obtained while at the same time lower rate of Interest would be charged bor rowers. The Taxpayers Protective Associa tion. & state-wide organization, takes Issue with the North Dakota exper ience, stating It "has not been a fi nancial success." that the Oregon proposal would not be similar. The negative arguments declare the bill Is "loosely drawn, that it will, If paescd, defeat the very ends its pro ponents claim for it." They point to failures of similar state banks In 13 other states where they have beep tried. I ,1 Jl I h F M V Am, v J. B. COLEMAN Republican Candidate for COUNTY ASSESSOR JACKSON COUNT.

D. R. On Coast Fred M. Weatherford, pastor evan gelist, was heerd in the Interest of the National Preaching Mission, Sun day night, using as his topic, "A re- Christianlzation in the Making." He said as follows: "The National Preaching Mission now in progress under the leadership of Dr. E. Stanley Jones, la destined for a revival reformation of Chris tianity, as wide-spread as that which marks the present decay of the church. However, such a reforma tion Is wholly dependent xipon the ready cooperation of the churches of America. It will be enlightening to review the Book of Acta and analyze by comparison, the drift of the mod ern church. "The present order haa broken down, Dr. Jones said: 'We stand amid their ruins. We have come to I the end of an era. Whether we shall ; take Ood'e way and begin a new era remains to be seen.' "The pulpit for the past quarter century has been restricted end cir cumscribed In its message, because it has so largely accepted the phllloe ophy, that the proper field of preach ing culminates tn projecting the de corous, the good, and the beautiful, in their more dignified and non- dlsturblng aspects. Preaching went too far, In the realm of esthetic Ideal Ism, and too remote from the heart and conscious relationship of man with God. "Preaching then went up Into a stratosphere, where materialistic the ological tog was encountered and the rare atmosphere of that detach ment precipitated a crash upon Christianity, that nearly wrecked the world. "Unless the present church world, with its past Ill-fated ideas and de feated goals Joins with the National Preaching Mission, In tta methods to rechrlstlanlze Christianity, America will go on In her rapid stride of moral decadence to wreck the heri tage of a Christian birthright."

Mon day thru Friday. 8 p.m With the assertion that Oregon was safe for President Roosevelt, speakers at the Democratic rally here last night made a plea for the elec tion of national and state candidates who would support the administra tion so that the New Deal might be carried out to a successful conclusion. The speakers included Howard Ln tourette, national committeeman, Claude McColloch, state chairman, Harry Bolvln, unopposed candidate for re-election to the state leplslature from Klamath Falls, and E. W Klrk patrlck, candidate for United States representative from this district. A. E. Rcames, Medford attorney and member of the state executive com mittee, presided after being presented by J. R. Marshall, Jackson county chairman. Mr. Latourotte and Mr. Bolvln made a special plea for the election of Willis Mahoney. Klamath Falls mayor who Is opposing the veteran Senator Charles L. McNary for a wat in the United States senate. As mayor of Klamath Falls. Mr. Mahoney has worked for the wage-earning class, he Is an ardent supporter of President Roosevelt and the New Deal and therefore should have the vote of every Democrat In the state. Mr. Bol vln declared. Sees Decisive Vlrtory. Mr. Latourette asserted that Pres. dent Roosevelt would carry Oregon by a plurality of 75.000 to 100.000 votes ""But let us not become over-confident." Mr. Latourette counselled, "Now that we have elected President Roosevelt In this state, let us look to our state and eounty candidates. They must be elected so that the president will have the whole-henrted support necessary to complete his re covery and humanitarian program." Mr. Latourette then cited figures to contrast economic and social con- dltlons of four years ago with those of today, thus stressing the acronv pllshments of the New Deal. Mr. MeColloeh expressed the hope that the campaign would end In a good spirit and he pleaded for an attitude of tolerance by both pnrtles. Counts Om West. Cnnt. All Indications. Mr. McCollooh stated, point to the re-election of President Roosevelt, adding that "only the Literary Digest now stands in his way." Although the Literary Digest poll puts the three west coast states In the Landon column, Oregon. Wash ington and California will give Presi dent Roosevelt at least as big a plu rality as they did four years ago, Mr. McColloch said. 'So if the Digest poll is no more accurate in general than it Is in these three states, we have nothing to worry about." Mr. McColloch concluded! F LAN EN (Continued Hum Page One.) Is Willis Mahoney.

Nevada's registration includes 36. 207 Democrats to 19.971 Republicans. The Republican campaign has oppos ed the administration's range policy, fought the security exchange commis sion as a hindrance to mining, and challenged federal expenditurea In general. Arizona haa approximately 85 p?r cent of his 167,000 voters registered as Democrats. Landon, Colonel Frank Knox and John D. M. Humllton all have visited during the campaign.

Senatorial candidates are Gov ernor Ed C Johnson, Democrat, and Raymond L Sauter, Republican, Th latter has been embarrassed by action of state candidates In eliminating from the state platform a specific endorsement of a constitutional amendment providing $45 a month minimum old age pensions, and In directly endorsing the Townsend plan Although Johnson In the past criti cized some New Deal po'lcles, par ticularly on relief, he has publicly pledged his loyalty to President Roosevelt and seems assured of uni fied Democratic support. 7or b etler biscuits Schilling Baking Powder This Safe, External Treatment Helps END A COLD Quicker 7& 3-7mvU& VafiofTMaMajA Massage VapoRub briskly on the throat, chest and back (between and below the shoulder blades).
