To the Editor: I wish to correct some Inaccurate statements made concerning me In tne tKtooer 27 issue of your pubilci tlon. At the Eagle Point Townscnd meet ing 01 this week, the president, Mr. Perry, came to me in the rear of the nan and asued me If I cared to ad dress the meeting. I assented and I he then requested that I refrain from d, speaKing on my own candidacy. I considered this a strange request, but when he later announced me as a speaker, I compiled with his wish by keeping to the broader Issues of the campaign. I stated that the pres ent aamimstratlon waa supported by communistic forces and that is even country where communism came into power. It was directed and financed by Jews. At no time did I call Presi dent Roosevelt a communist or oy any other name as I make it an iron clad policy to stick to issues .deeds and words and avoid personal attacka I stated that recently the Carnegie Institute of Washington, D. O.. had completed a factual document dia closlng the lineage of the Roosevelt fimftir tt,h1h I ...,,,, that the Roosevelt family Inherit generously from Hebrew racial strains. At this point tn my address, one or two pro-Roosevelt members of Medford Townsend clubs who were at the meettng. Interrupted my ad dress. The president sustained their Interruption and asked ma to dis continue my discourse. Out of consideration of Hie club president and the circumstances -Vhlch surrounded him, I did not In sist upon my technical right as a member of the Townsend National Legion to finish my address. After the meeting, lift-, Perry ex pressed his appreciation toward my attitude in the matter. ARIEL BURTON POMEROY. Central Point, Ore., Oct. 39. News Behind the News (Continued from Pag One.)

Three hours a week in fostering the Military idea What might be accomplished is de moting those three hours to the prob lem of human relationship. Peace ha never been fostered by snUilsrtsm from David's time "after the year was expired, at the time when king go rorth to battle." Asoka is the only military monarch who abandoned militarism after victory. "More Hy ing men cherish his memory than erer heard of Canstantine or Charle magne." The Quaker's hat waa a better safe guard, In Colonial times, than a gun. Militarists argue we cannot support non-militarism when the world Ib war mad. This la an ideal time to show the folly of more armaments to in sure peace. Our geographical position and strength fits us ideally to set an example to the rest of the world. Ours was the first government of the people. We were the first to divorce church and state. Why not be t&e first to abolish militarism and "make the world safe for democracy?" Why are we trying to force military train ing onto our youth in the tmme of patriotism and peace? As Smedley Butler aaid "If you are not training them for war, what are you training them for "tap dancers'?" We are weary of hearing of our tax supported institutions! Our ancestors have been paying taxes in this coun try for nearly two hundred years, and when we think something is being fostered that is detrimental to youth and all civilization, we know It Is our right, and our duty, to protest. Mili tarism haa been the folly and curse of the world for thousands of years. If civilization is to survive we have to Improve on our father's w&ys. "Youth can honor his mother by learning more than she Knew. He can honor his father by correcting the old man's mistakes." CHARITY R. SANDER. Medford, Oct. 30. for A Platform for 1S.0 To the Editor: Here is my 1940 platform: 4 Planks. 1. A 50-cent minimum wae common labor. Full employment ot labor in public works until absorbed in prfvat industry. Stabilization of rate of wages and rate of profit. In crease of wage Income by increase of hours of work per week. A court to arbitrate labor disputes. a. 25 per week old age pension and pensions for unemployable 3. Refinancing outstanding debts, both public and private, at per cent rate of Interest by the federal government through a central hank. 4. Exemptjon of shelter value in homes from state, county and school taxes. Deficit to be made up by loans from the central bank. New homo construction financed by central bank at 14 per cent rat of interest. Machinery Provided. 1. Organization of a supreme monetary court of nine members in the same manner the supreme court of the United State Is organised. Monetary court to have control of the central bank. This bank to control the Issuance of currency to the end that purchasing power will be built goods and services. (Ftvct finding com-; goods nd service. Fslt finding com mittees estimate this capacity to pro duce to be 2 billion dollars per week. That la purchasing power would have to be built up so that each of the 32 million family units In the United States would have an average of S0 per week to spend.) Thia spending power would be built up by the Issu ance of currency in making effective te four planks of this platform. Mablllration. When, through the Issuance of cur rency by th central hank, purchasing power is built up to match capacity to produce, the budget would, be bal anced 1 By abandonment of all but nec essary public works. 3. By levying a tax on surplus earnings to balance old age pensions. 3. By the collection of payments on the principal of sums loaned by the government, Collections on the prin cipal not to exceed 6 per cent In asy one year. 4. By levying a tax on all incomes to the extent necessaTy to complete the stabilization of spending power at 2 billion a, week. From these taxes revenue would be derived to tak care of shelter tar exemptions. Recommendation. To those who believe in an economy of abundance as opposed to an econ omy of scarcity I recommend that you vote for the candidate for presi dent you believe most likely to pro mote the proposals outlined is this platform. J. C. BARNES. Medford, October 30 Ouch, Roses Hare Thorns! To the Editor: Allow me to commend you on your able and skillful pen. I agree with Lytton that it "Is more powerful that the sword," Since the day you left to cover the "conventions," your edito rials and editorial correspondence have carried a preponderance of con viction. You have, converted me. I feel that you will be justly proud to know that this coming election, No vember 3, I will cast my ballot tor the union party's candidate, Wllllam Lemke. Thanking you again for service well rendered, I remain ALEX Z. WOOLVERTON, Gold Hill, Oct. 28. Have Faith In Roosevelt. To the Editor: Did you over follow an experienced woodsman through the forest for miles, especially at night while search Ing for someone who was lost or go ing to a forest fire? Those who have, or those who have led men on such occasions have heard forebodings among the men. Some slipped and fell on rocks, tripped os creeping vines, were scratched by thorns; all were tired and lame. Some of the men threatened to quit and go back, or go some other wsy . be eause they were so sure the leader was lost or didn't know where he was doing. Those men lacked wood experience, but enougn of them had faith that they would be taken safely through, ao encouraged the rest U stay and follow on. The way was made successfully. President Roosevelt la an "experi enced woodsman He has & ob jective ahead. He la leading us through an economic and social for est of Despair. Wo have crossed some of the worst boggy sinkholes, but our way is still bewt with many dangers. There bto patches of jagged rocks across which we must yet travel, where our feet may be sore unto bleeding, but wo cannot avoid every discomfort. Wo know that he is go ing in the right direction, but some want to co this way. some that any- other way than fohuw an "experienced woodsman." But no one has pointed to a bet ter way nf one haa ever biased a trail through this untrod forest. We know that our leader has led us thus far safely out of those dark night and that we can now see the rising sun ahead. Many did not like part of the places through which we have gone. Yet, as we look back we can jee many of the narrow escapes we had bluffs of failing banks over which we came so near falling to destruction; bottomless crevasses of wrecked public schools we almost slipped Into; quagmires of lost homes 1823 aver. 119 14. iss.i 106 in 357 1933 aver. 64 &4 2 453 M 69 26 1936 August 108 S8.A 814 70 86 82 Sept. iOfl ago S1.0 73 88 61 (Eat.)

Lewis, the United Mine Work ers chief, could certainly deliver that state, if co other. He may, but a fairly trustworthy auxvey reeerrtty In dicated Land on would carry the state by a very smalt margin. Safe wager em will place tt as doubtful. While most politicians classify Ohio as the most doubtful state, an Impartial survey there Indicated the incredible possibility of a 300.000 ma jority for Landan. The trouble with, the survey was that It probably rep resented too small a percentage of the city vote. It is not often that opposing politi cians can get exactly what they want to prove out of the same set of fig ures, but this Is what Is being done with the Uterary Digest poll. fresh republican money appeared In the unofficial betting mart here whets one statistician proved Governor linden's election with a majority of 287 electorial votes by merely adding 30 per cent to Roosevelt's state totals shown by the Dlegat. That Is, he accepted the fact that the Digest has received returns from more 1932 republicans than democrat and gave Roosevelt nearly a third more than the Digest did, but left Latidon stm winning by one electoral vote. Democrats, with equal conviction, figure that the Digest shows Roose velt winning if you apply his indi cated net low, and Landons net gain, over the Hoover vote, to the figures polled by Roosevelt and Hoover Xw each state. This shows Roosevelt winning with 335 electoral votes. Some tnrth -seeking congressmen wtttita both parties are complaining of the Inadequacy of the campaign expenditures law. They are threat- enmg to propose a new law at the nest session of congress. After the election their indignation probably win subside. Campaign indignation usually does. t However, the experience with the law during tills campaign hom It la mostly loop-holes. No one yet has been able to furnish an accurate esti mate of how or how much money was raised or spent. Published account are Inadequate. For example, the democratic na tional committee seems to have de veloped merely Into a holding com pany for campaign purposes. The committee swaps expenses and con tributions back and forth with such subsidiaries having interlocking di rector a tcM as labor's non-partisan league, the all -party agricultural league for Roosevelt, the good neigh bor league, the committee of one and many others. Other Roosevelt or ganisations raise money separately, sweh as the national progressive league, the American labor party and a few others. The republican national committee helps and Is helped by such organiza tion ai tho coalition of American women, the volunteers, the national clvte federation and many others. The financing of these various or ganizations ia often as mixed as that of the average public utility holding oompa,ny and Ita subsidiaries, about which some Now Dealers complain so much. The only purpose served by the law Ut to accumulate an intricate mass of records in which the truth lurks; somewhere unrepealed. and farms stretching from coast to coast through which we are beginning to emerge; poisoned winds ot discos tent which nearly swept us off our feet; surging times of idle men ebb ing and flowing from soup line to bread line, and too often to where there waa neither, which nearly en gulfed us; hot and cold desert of starving people all about us which we Just avoided; and often almost over the very brink Into molten lava flows of revolution. Vet, President Roosevelt led us, with tout tew thorns to pluck from our now healthy hides, out of that dark forest. Let us still have faith and follow him, for he Is blazing the way to Progress and Suc cess. JOHN E. ORTBBLE. Medford, October 31. 1036.
