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.

Only New Deal Candidates
Should Be Elected, Rally
Is Told Big Plurality
Seen for F. 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."

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!

Massage VapoRub briskly on the
throat, chest and back (between and
below the shoulder blades). Then
spread It thick over the chest and
cover with warmed cloth.
Almost before you finish rubbing,
VapoRub starts to bring relief two
ways at once two direct ways:
1. Through lha Skin. VapoRub
acts direct through the akin like
poultice or plaster.
2. Medicated Vapors. At the
same time, its medicated vapors, re
leased by body heat, are breathed in
for hours about 18 times a minute
direct to the Irritated air-passages.
This combined poultice-and-vapor
action loosens phlegm relieves
Irritation helps break congestion.
During the night, VapoRub keeps
right on working. Often, by morning
the worst of the cold is over.
Avoids Risk of Stomach Upsets
This safe, external treatment cannot
possibly upset the stomach, as con
stant Internal "dosing" is so apt to
do. It can be used freely, as often as
needed, even on the youngest child.
