The appointment of Henry
Wallace "the leader of the most
radical groups in America" as
secretary of commerce brings
threats of revolt among demo
cratic senators, chiefly those
from the South. The South was
reportedly in "revolt" against
the Fourth Term throughout the
late presidential campaign. In
Texas the "revolt" seethed and
boiled. When the Texas votes
were counted the GOP candi

proximately five million. And,

For at the end of the year undoubtedly Madam
Perkins would show a far better balance sheet than
Henry Agard, for she has
and never had a cool levei-neaa ana a clear calcu

UENRY Wallace resembles that great Abolitionist
and Civil War martyr, John Brown, more than
any other conspicuous public figure in American his

as when he died on the scaffold "to make men free."
We believe it is no exaggeration to say, that Henry
Agard Wallace would as gladly lay down his life at
any time, if he believed such an act would materially
contribute to the betterment the greater freedom
of humanity and the world.

Why then did President Roosevelt, who knows

affairs, name him to a post, for which he is so glar

pet theories of humanitarian economics a quart of

business and especially Big Business. . .
As the President remarked in making the appoint

end of the campaign. Though not on the ticket him
self, he gave of the utmost toward the victory which en

And so knowing how Henry wanted the job, and
having Henry's assurance he believed he (Heniy)

display campaign they put on re

Their technical objections have

reason is that both Germany and

Stimson and Marshall want to

What they want is a law Im

What's the Milter With
M.dford?
To the editor What Is the
matter with the people of Med
fordf On the 18th, your paper
carried a news item to the ef
fect that the Planning Commis
sion had refused the Medford
Friend's Church permission to
build in a certain locality, pre
viously designated as zone- one.
On the 19th, your paper carried
an explanation (T) by said Plan
ning Commission which ex
plained nothing.
If, as according to your news
Item, it was true that nearly
80 of the residents in the said
district were willing to have
-
the church built in their midst,
where does I- or 4-man com
mission get the power and au
thority to over-ride the wisnes
of a representative majority of
the property ownersT
If the people of Medford will
condone that sort of city gov
ernment, they needn't go to
Germany for an example of
minority rule. They've got it at
home. Shades of democracy!!!
According to the Planning
Commission's explanation (?)
they were afraid letting a
church building be erected in
the said locality, would pave
the way for commercial build
ings of other sorts. What sort
of churches are those men fam
iliar with, that they will group.
a House of God on the same
level with worldly commercial
buildings?. And the Friends
(Quakers) especially.
I wonder, do the people of
Medford know that the Friends
were the only Christians the
Nazis have not molested in their
terrible purges of religion,
throughout Germany and her
conquered countries?
Do the people of Medford
know that when the German
government refused to allow
the International Red Cross to
distribute medicines, clothing
and foods to our boys who were
prisoners of war, it was the
Friends organization that took
over and carried on?
And then the Medford Plan
ning Commission refuses an or
ganization like that, dedicated
to Faith, Hope and Good-will
toward all mankind, the right
to build in a quiet residential
district, away from the noise
and confusion of the commer
cial district, in direct contradic
tion of the expressed wishes of
the majority of the affected
property owners, and the people
of Medford let them get away
witn it.
Do you wonder that the peo
ple of other portions of South
ern Oregon are beginning to
ask we question that heads my
letter?
For the record let It be
known that I am not a Quaker
tho I am not ashamed of my
own denomination I still enjoy
Being able to worship, "with
out let or hindrance" with the
Quakers, who bid all men wel
come, and turn none away. And
mat is true Christianity.
If this refusal of the rlsht to
build is not revoked by popular
demand, what an indictment of
the Planning Commission, .and
what a greater indictment of
the people of Medford it wiU be.
Signed,
MRS. EVA E. FRANKLIN,

BILL TO BOOST
JUDICIAL WAGES
BEFORE SENATE
Salem, Ore., Jan. 2S. U.FD
Salaries of the Oregon judiciary
would be increased by a bill be
fore the senate today, presented
by Sen. Thomas Mahoney, Port
land. Although a previous bill call
ing for a 15 per cent Increase
for certain state officials was re
cently repudiated by Gov. Earl
Snell and other state department
heads, the bill Is apparently a
scaled-down version of the orig
inal.
It would Increase the salaries
of supreme court Justices from
$7500 to $10,000 yearly, those of
district court Judges from $3600
to $5000, and other circuit court
proportionately to the size of
their districts.
Other bills introduced to the
senate included: Authorization of
county commissioners to grant
sick leave and vacations to
county employees; another pro
viding that all laws governing
regular school districts would ap
ply to uninn districts having a
dally average attendance of 150
pupils or more for the preceding
year, and a bill fixing and list
ing the salaries of all county as
sessors at from $2400 per year
for the five least populated coun
ties to $6000 for Multnomah
county.
OFFICERS' WIVES
Medford women whose hus
bands are officers in the coun
try's armed services are forming
an organization it was announced
today. First meeting of the
group will be in the form of a
luncheon at the Outpost Satur
day at 1p.m. An effort is being
made to contact women eligible
for the group, but it is stated
that anyone not contacted and
interested in information may
call Mrs. Donald Moore, 4092.
Committee members making
arrangements for the first meet
ing and working on organization
are Mrs. Allyn Monroe, Mrs.
Moore, Mrs. Robert Emmens and
Mrs. Howard Rutherford.
Reservations for the luncheon
must be in by Friday noon.
It is stated that the new or
ganization is for wives of officers
whose permanent home is in
Medford.
