A Medfordite In Europe
Leonard Carpenter travelling in Central Europe writes

EN ROUTE TO LONDON FROM
HUNGARY. Aug. 17. This It written
as wo travel across Germany on the
Orient Express. A greet ihlny dark

dered on In an Oppenhelm atory.
If anything like tbat ahould happen
to ua there could be only six paa-
aengera to auspect. Two Englishmen,
who like ouraelvea are going to Bou-
Unse to cross to England by the
o'clock boat tomorrow, one who look
like a German; and a veterinary
doctor who la In charge of animal
bacteriology for the Egyptian gov.
rnment and la traveling to Jurlch
for a convention which meet once
every four yeara. Last time it waa
held In N. 7. and he bad a room at
the Waldorf Astoria at at which la
much higher than as good a room
which he has had for the past momn
in Bucharest's best hotel. Altho
high he considers the fact that he

government Job he was two yeara in
TJ. fl. A. with the Rockefeller Foun

several other medical centers. Think

the train then?" In horror "Give
up running the Orient Expreasl Oh
no, no we hope yea, we nope.
"How un-un apl What do you think
we are barbarians?" his retreating
back seemed to demand. Of course
. it all dates from the Ansschluss
which has made foreign visitors very
scarce In Germany, Hungary and the
Bavarian Alps.
The country la over-run with huge
auto bua loads of Germans, with
Oermans in little autos and on mot
orcycles. Due to credit and cash re
strictions It Is difficult for the Oer
mans to travel except In their own
country and In Italy.
This really started out to be an
appreciation of Hungarian who are
wonderrully sympathetic and Joy lov
ing. For Instance, we took a street
ear to St. Margaret Island yester
day and when the oonductor could
not understand ua several passen
gers came to our rescue with French,
German and a little English, we were
escorted to the new car when we
transferred and assisted off-at the
proper station by hand wavlnga. In
the park a policeman helped us se
cure the bus and upon our return a
busy housewife took us under her
wing to eee us safely home They
smile easily which is startling In
grim Europe. They love gypsy music
and stand outside the restaurants
listening to the famoua Gene bands.
We visited the famous bath where
there are two huge swimming tanks.
In one there are two dozen aprlngi
under water which bubble up with
eonalderable force making the water
aU marcelled like a glrl'a hair In
the other artificial surf with break
ing waves five feet htgh, are made
In some Ingenious way with electric

see the bathers In the surf I should
have been more tempted than I was
had it been a sunny day. Tee Buda

far found by ua that would be poe
alble aa a permanent residence. Here
one could be readily contended.
I AM reading names on the depot

We are parading the chemln des

laat, which have come under my
own observation In the past three
months. Perhapa it la none of our
business on the other side of the
Atlantic, but If world trade means
anything to ua It la our business.
It la Just aa much our business as
it Is the business of The Loop In
Chicago to take notice of and clean
up Cicero. No one knowa what will
happen here even from day to day
Everything depends upon the whim
of Hitler. It seems Incredible that
such a dictatorship could be. but
apparently it la a fact. It Is not
even necessary for him or for Mua
solinl to confer with associates. The
word of the boea is supreme In every
way.
A BOOK of great enlightenment Is
"Britain and The Dictators," by
Seton Watson. Also there Is "The
House thst Hitler Built" and "In
aanlty Fair," neither of which I have
read but which are very Interesting
I have been told.
Once In a while one hears the
question: "What la the matter with
England? Why doesn't she step Ir.
and atop it?" It would be much
less heroic, much easier and perhaps
much more effective for the US.A.
to stop It. But would you vote In
favor of Interference?
In either case England has a hard
decision. If she shoulf break now
with Germany or Italy the bom
bardment of London and other Eng
lleh cities would be appalling. To
sav that she could bomb Berlin Is
only to double the catastrophe. Un
questionably she Is getting Into a
better position daily to say "You
have gone too far back down." but
time la working all on her side and
she csn afford to play tho waltlruj
gnme. In fact ehe must do so.
Financially England Is supreme and
In the end that will count Too.
there Is the hatred by powerful
Jewish, nationalist and over run
minorities always ready with a dag
ger to thrust In the dictator back.
It would be strange for an outsider
to have any conception of the un
derground plots going on against the
dictators but there la no need to
be psychic to feel the discontent. It
etlcka up like the water tower on
Pierce hill for all to see.

E
OF GOLD IS FOUND
IN FOREST AREAS
Assays Show Only Trace of
Precious Metal in Land
Proposed for Promotion
Three Spots Tested
Only a trace of gold was found In
samples taken from three different
spot In the Rogue River national
forest on which a string of claims
has been filed In a proposed mining
promotion, according to an assay re'
port In possession of forest service
headquarters here.
The samples were procured recently
by William H. Frledhoff, mineral ex
aminer of the United States forest
service for regions 5 and 6 with head
quarters In San Francisco. The as
says were made by E. M. Kirk, Sail
Francisco.
One sample was taken from the
bottom eight feet of sand In a pit
In section 20. No colors of gold were
visible after panning but a heavy
concentrate was obtained which was
saved for assaying, the forest service
report states.
No Gold Apparent
A similar sample was taken from
a pit near Union Creek adjacent to
tho perk highway. Aside from a
heavy concentrate no other values
were apparent, according to the re
part. The concentrate was kept for
assaying .
A third sample was taken at a
point at the lower end of the Castle
Creek campground where the creek
cuts through bedrock. While no col
ors of gold were visible a heavy con
centrate was obtained which also was
saved for assay, the report asserts.
The samples were sent to the Kirk
firm to be fused and the total con
tents determined. The results, on a
yardage basis, were given as follows:
Sample No. l--.05 cents per yard.
Sample No. 2 .02 cents per yard.
Sample No. 3 .04 cents per yard.
A cubic yard Is the equivalent of
about a ton.
High Costs Foreseen
Mr. Frledhoff stated In his report
that while he dtd not know what
type of equipment It was contem
plated using In the proposed exploi
tation, any kind of operation In the
forest areas would be extremely ex
pensive. It was Indicated 'that opera
tions would not be profitable unless
the savings per yard were extremely
high.
A group of men. of whom P. L.
Yarb rough of Sacramento, Cel., ap
pears to be the leader, some time
ago filed mining claims covering
most of sections 16, 17, 18, 10, 20 and
21 of township 31 south, range 3
east, W. M. Claims also were located
on Castle and Union creeks above the
forest ranger station.
In order to have a record of Its
own pertaining to the mineral val
ues of the land, the forest service
made the tests results of which are
noted In the report now on file.
Increase Seen In
Klamath Students
KLAMATH FALLS. Sept. 8. An
opening day registration of 1034 stu
dents at Klamath Union high school
and a second-day Increase of 138 pu
pils In the elementary grades today
gave Klamath Falls a total school
population of 2.892, slightly more
than the figure for the correspond
ing dny last year.
County unit schools also opened
today, but reports on enrollment were
not Immediately available.

UNION PACIFIC
J. C. Barnes Writes President
Regarding Dumping of Pears
To the Editor:
rind enclosed letter trom Mr.
Hendrlckaon, director of economic In.
formation In the department of agri
culture. Mr. Reter aaya "the cull pear dump
1 a necessity." I say It Is a shame
ful, criminal waste. On the bottom
of the picture of cull pears I sent
to the President, I wrote as follows:
"Pears dumped for lack of purchasing
power. Food pit for a King."
Mr. Reter says "they are pears not
marketable or aultable for any use
whatever." I contend they could and
would be used and would become
marketable If the 32 million family
unit In the United Statea had pur
chasing power enough, that Is enough
money each week to enend, to match
our capacity to produce gooda and
services. The pears I had photo
graphed were unmarketable, not be
cause they were culls, but because
our family Units many of them have
never tasted a pear have too little
purchasing power.
The trouble with Mr. Reter Is that
he sees no other way out except
through curtailment of production,
contraction, limiting the houra of
work per week and like measures.
He haa a aubtractlon complex. He la
branded with that "short, sad, red
bar of sorrow," the minus sign. He
believes In the "outworn and obso
lete conception of a scarcity of
money."
I believe In addition without aub
tractlon. I believe In substituting
a controlled abundance of money
for the conception of a scarcity of
money. I believe In expending cur
rency In the currency stream until
purchasing power Is built up to match
capacity production, then the shame
ful, criminal waste the photograph
In question depicts will be ended.
Each family unit now uses on an
average only four cans of peara a
year. If we can so Increase pur
chasing power that each family unit
will eat six cans, or perhaps eight
cans of pears per year, there will no
longer be this "cull pile" that Mr.
Reter now feels so sure is necessary.
Mend our economy so all workers
will have full time employment and
our old folk have a "fair, adjusted
compensation" for the service they
have rendered In creating capital
equipment and for which they have
had 'as yet no settlement, and spend
ing power will be so Increased that
a market will be created for all farm
product we are able to raise.
Currency Control Court.
A currency control court, organized
aa the supreme court of the United
Statea I organized, put In charge of
a Aoclal credit bank empowered to
buy government bonds bearing one
tenth of one per cent rate of In
terest when these bonds are author
ized by congress. Is the only machin
ery neceasary to set up. The national
banking act, enacted In 1863, pro
vides a way by which a circulating
medium la created. That act pro
vldea that when a banking company
In thla case It would be the Fed
eral Social Credit bank deposits with
the treasurer of the United States
government bonds, then the comp
troller of currency Is authorized to
print and deliver to the bank legal
tender money to the amount of the
par value of the bonds. This la a
regular, orthodox and constitutional
method of expanding the amount of
currency In circulation. In this man
ner the government could raise money
without Incurring an unbearable In
terest burden s the bonds would
only bear one-tenth of one per cent
rat of Interest. The government
could put this money In circulation
by paying It out as an old age pen

sion of S50 a month to retired work
ers. There would be no taxation,
no subtraction, no taking away from
Peter to pay Paul. When purchasing
power was built up to match capac
ity to produce then the account could
be balanced by a small tax on labor
Income and a tax on surplus earnings.
Another way of placing the cur
rency so raised In the currency stream
would be to refinance long-term debts
such a farm loans, home loans and
the bonds of legal subdivisions at
the rate of one-half of one per cent,
or one per cent rate of Interest, with
no payment on the principal for
three to ten years. This money would
be retired from the currency stream
aa the principal of these debts was
paid off. These long-term debts
amount to 134 billion dollars.
I find It very difficult In the pear
raising business I am engaged In to
prosper under present economic con
ditions. Therefore, I seek to change
these condition without abolishing
private ownership of capital equip
ment or destroying our democratic
form of government.
If Mr. Reter will spare one hour
from his pear culling enterprise to
call at my office, or at my home
some evening. I will show him the
detail of my plan for a "controlled
abundance of money" which, when
made effective will turn the "cull
pile" he I ao ashamed of Into mar
ketable products.
Tour for a controlled abundance
of money, j. o. BARNES.
The letter from Mr. Hendrickson
follows:
Mr. J. C. Barnes,
Medford, Oregon.
Dear Mr. Barnea: Your letter of
December 18. addressed to President
Roosevelt, has been referred to this
bureau. We have read It with Inter
est and are retaining It for further
study by membera of our economic
staff.
I am much Impressed by the pic
ture which you enclosed showing
pears dumped because of unprofitable
price. This la a atrlklng picture and
certainly tells its story very effec
tively. We would be glad to have the
negative of this picture. If you care
to loan It or to send It, for permanent
preservation In our file. I think
we might be able to put such a
Picture a thl to uses which may
help In the long run to reduce the
frequency of such scenes. Please
give this request consideration.
I am very glad to have had the
opportunity of reading your letter.
Sincerely youra. .

Entertainment Plum Prom
ised in Conflict of Men
Who Take Mighty Salmon
From Far North Waters
When it comes to motion picture
entertainment that 1 almost over
powering with action, love, suspense,
human Interest, poignancy of situa
tion, and thrills entertainment
that keeps a theater audience on
the edge of Its Beat, lets it sit back
for a while as It loses Itself In the
romance, and then gives It a punch
that is Just about as powerful as the
one Joe Louis landed on Schmellng's
Jaw when that sort of motion pic
ture entertainment is wanted, "Spawn
of the North," which opened its
four-day run yesterday at the Cra
terian theater, will take a back seat
to none.
Remember the earthquake sequence
of "San Francisco"? Remember the
gale of "Hurricane" and the fire of
"Old Chicago"? Those were catas
trophes of natuer which solved the
human equation In screen plots.
Totally different, yet every bit as
effective as temblor, hurricane or
conflagration. Is the menace of a
glacier In "Spawn of the North."
If that doesn't make you gasp, then
nothing will.
The background of the story is
salmon fishing Alaska. In the days
of long ago. The action revolves
about attempts of pirates to steal
the catches of honest fishermen.
Besides the aspect of the picture,
there are George Raft. Henry Fonda.
Dorothy Lamour, Aklm Tamlroff.
John Barrymore, Louise Piatt and
Lynoe Overman In leading roles.
The principal conflict Is between
Raft and Fonda, who as close friends
part company, the one turning to
fish piracy, the other to upholding
law and order. Miss Lamour dis
cards her sarong for the heavy wool
ens of the near Arctic, and In a role
entirely different from those which
she has played before, as a girl who
loses her misguided lover. Tamlroff
has one of the most villainous roles
he has ever playrd, as leader of the
pirates, while Barrymore and Overman
supply the comedy that acts as relief
for the powerful drama.
So you want action? "Spawn of
