But that bus trip can't give THAT much.

Saturday night probably had something to do with it. The
last trip south only S. P. passengers were allowed aboard. But
this time, the "Welcome" sign was out for all and sundry it
was nice for hitch-hikers, but not so nice for the customers, or
getting the trip over quickly. B
However again the law of compensation worked.
Somewhere around Hilt or was it HornbrookT the bus
swerved and squeaked to a stop and a trio from "Tobacco Road"
clambered on led by a toothless, unshaven gentleman who waved
a crutch in one hand, while he chewed on a corn-paper clgaret
and voiced hearty salutations to the assembled multitude. He was
followed by a dour, pasty-faced gent, bearing a huge tent-pack
over his shoulder, while No. 3
Dickens (or Bobby Burns), with
bis head and a fiddle under one
as the trio passed by a strong aroma of splrltus frumenti reminis
cent of the home-bfew era, assailed the editorial nostrils.
There were no empty seats
ference almost Immediately the squeaky notes of "Turkey In
the Straw" came over the air and WHAT airl the calls for an
old fashioned square dance were given and the entire bus-load
only a few degrees from asphyxiation, perked up and until ,Yreka
was reached had quite a gay time.
There the strange trio alighted
with the crutch was not the cripple but the man with the fiddle,
who, the entertainment over, demanded his crutch, was given
same, wherewith he proceeded
of the Inn, over which a purple Neon sign announced "cocktails."
Before entering a consultation was held, during which it was
decided to hire a room for the three, as they couldn't hitch hike
no more that night," and make
the tent sleep on the floor!
Within a fireman s ball was
the musical three, but the bus call

News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon
Washington, Feb. 15 The
$40,000,000,000 RFC Job which
Mr. Wallace reached for and
missed, was
next to have
been tossed by
the White
House crowd
to Marriner
Eccles, federal
reserve chair
man, who at
least knows
s omething
about the na
tion s nnanciai
Peal Halloa base of capi
talistic opera
tions. Eccles declined at once,
saying he wanted to keep his
present post.
At a meeting of the top men
around Mr. Roosevelt (Jimmy
Byrnes, Marvin Jones, et al) it
was decided all would get be
hind Fred Vinson, Kentucky
ex-congressman, who has been
an unostentatious assistant to
Byrnes, directing economic sta
bilization. ...
WINSON could no doubt be
V confirmed as senators gen
erally have given him a good
caliber rating since he proved
his common sense and showed
quite a bit of ability as chair
man of the tax subcommittee in
the house.
Coming up from a small-town
lawyer to his congressional job,
he found it insecure because his
Kentucky district was always
apt to go republican. The White
House gave him his judgeship
on the court of appeals, from
which security he resigned to
help Byrnes at White House
request.
Some inside work is being i
done, however, to get some one (
with more experience in fi
nance to do Mr. R.'s bidding in
RFC, and some rather formid
able people are trying to get
Joseph P. Kennedy back in the
government.
Here is as good a man as the
new deal ever had, whose career
has been an lionic tragedy. He '
was ridden out of the London
ambassadorship because he -approved
the Munich appease
ment which Mr. Roosevelt also
approved, but with recrimina
tion. Fanatics have carried out
a hate and smear campaign
against him since then without
any justification, sometimes call
ing him "fascist" or worse. He
was for Munich because he
Knew Britain was not prepared
for war and neither were we.
DUT what will gall any sense:
of justice is that Kennedy
has given more to the war than
any other of those public de
ceivers who have made a good
war business out of running him
down. He has suffered one son
kUled, a son-in-law killed after
six weeks of marriage to his
daughter, a second son so seri-
ously injured ramming a Jap !
destroyer he has not yet re-!
covered
Three of the highest military
decorations have come to the
family. A third son Is in the
navy, and a daughter is doing
Red Cross work in France. You
never hear of these things, only
the sly curses of agitators, liv
ing and fattening off the war
by selling bitterness and hate
against good Americans for
high fees.
If there Is -a more ironical
example of the murderous na
ture of American politics today,
I have not heard of It. The story
explains why so few big men
care to enter public service.
MO one else Is better fitted
' by experience or politics for
the Jones job, but Kennedy
probably will not get it.
Fervor of witnesses appear
ing for both Wallace and
Aubrey Williams (nominated to
head REA) ran to the skies.
Here were two men dropped by
Mr. Roosevelt for the campaign.
Williams, formerly youth ad
ministrator and WPA deputy,
had not been popular and left
the government before election.
Like Wallace he was considered
radical and much of a load on
the administration. Yet, Imme
diately after election both were
named for bigger Jobs than they
had lost, and many men and
women flocked to the senate to
claim that the good of the coun
try required the services of
these two (presumably only be
tween elections.)
e e .
fHE answer to this enthusl-
asm, as the listening senators
made it out, was that in com
merce Wallace would control
130,000 jobs, while rural elec
trification is planning an ex
pansion for 'postwar which
would also give the harassed

Letter From Washington
Br HARRIS ELLSWORTH
Member of Congress From Oregon
WALLACE APPOINTMENT.
Lately I have been receiving
letters and nostcards not only
from my district, but from vari
ous parts of the country, urging
me to vote aRainst confirming
the appointment of Henry Wal
lace. Only the Unltea states sen
ate votes on such confirmation.
The House has no voice.
In this instance, it happens
that the House of Representa
tives may Indirectly influence
the action of the Senate when
that body votes on Mr. Wallace
shortly after March 1st. The
Senate passed a bill, known as
thn r.snrffe Bill, which the Presi-
! dent has already announced he
-;. M.. ,hi-h
win mwvw -
will become law when passed by
the House, would take all of the
financial
agencies including
RFC out from under the Juris
diction of the Secretary of Com
merce. Although the George Bill
Is good legislation and would
likely pasa on its own merits, it
was unquestionably Introduced
in an effort to make the Wallace
appointment palatable to a ma
jority of the Senators. In other
words, it is generally believed
that the Senate will confirm the
Wallace appointment if his duties
are merely those of a Secretary
of Commerce with no authority
over the thirty or forty billion
dollars controlled by the lend
ing agencies.
If the House passes the George
BUI as it stands, the Senate will
confirm the Wallace appoint
ment. If 'the House rejects the
George BUI, it Is more than
likely the Senate wUl reject
Wallace. Thus, Indirectly, the
House may decide the fate of
Wallace.
The House Banking and Cur
rency Committee has reported
out the George Bill without
amendment. It now lies in the
Rules Committee. Apparently, a
majority of the Rules Commit
tee or tne tiouse aoes not ibvoi
bringing the bill on the Floor.
There are several moves possi
ble: (1) The Rules Committee
may keep the bill pocketed un
til after the Senate votes on Mr.
Wallace: (2) the bill may be
brought to the Floor and amend-
ed: (3) the bill may be brought
to the Floor ana recommittea to
the Banking and Currency Com
mittee with instructions that it
not be reported out again until
after the Senate has voted on
the Wallace confirmation; (4)
the bill may come out any time
and be either passed or rejected
by the House.
e .
CENSUS TAKES MANPOW
ER. This week the firm control
of the House by the Democrats
i was sharply revealed. A resold
tion to approve the six million
dollar appropriation item for a
nation-wide farm census was
passed by a vote of 198 to 171.
with only one Republican vot
ing for the resolution. This Is a
patronage bill and will call for
the employment of nearly thirty
thousand census takers. The
amazing thing is, the same House
of Representatives, controlled
by the same majority, only four
days before passed a drastic bill
to draft manpower for war in
dustry work. Apparently the ma
jority does not feel that man
power is so seriously short as to
prevent the employment of
thirty thousand party workers
in non-essential activity.
e e e
SOLDIER VOTE RESULTS,
It may be recalled that those of
us who fought so vigorously to
prevent the adoption of the un
constitutional federal ballot a
few months ago were accused 'of
attempting to prevent people in
the armed forces from voting.
What we actually did was draft
a bill and pass it that not only
made it possible for service peo
ple to vote, but provided them
a legal ballot. Last week, the
Secretary of War made his re
port on the balloting by service
personnel. This report clearly
indicates that the President was
entirely wrong when he told
or the pre-election trend of po
litical events) a good place to
return and alight for longer
than the duration.
Congress will block the whole
i plan. It Is convinced these
steps could bring socialism
(aster than anything else. The
government could finally own
aU business by the process of
lending it more and more
money Just as banks acquire
businesses by lending processes.

MEMBERS ENJOY OREGON
PEARS. This week the organi
sation of the Hew Republican
Members of the 78th Congress
and the new Members In the
present Congress, which is gen
erally referred to as the 78-79
Club, enjoyed a treat of some
Oregon Cornice pears. The pears
were sent to me by State Sena
tor Earl Newbry of Ashland for
presentation at the Tuesday
night meeting. To say that this
fruit was enjoy.d is an under
statement. I am still hearing
praise from the Members on the
quality and flavor of Oregon
pears.
The 78-79 Club, formerly
known as the 78 Club, is an in
teresting and valuable institu
tion. New Members have num
erous common problems which
are discussed at our wecisiy
meetings. It Is customary also to
have guest speakers of national
prominence. After such a speak
er . makes his formal talk, we
have a question period which
lasts an hour or more. Last week,
Eric Johnston, youthful and dy
namic president of the United
States Chamber of Commerce,
was our guest, and gave us some
off-the-record and highly inter
esting observations on his trip
to Russia.

Andrew J. Simpson reports
that while working on a road in

grapeshot. He surmises it might

fight with Indians in that sec
tion. The settlers, of which
Simpson's father was one, pos
sessed a small Civil War type
cannon which was used in rout
ing Indians, after they had raid
ed and burned the Simpson
homestead on what is now Med
ford. Simpson's father took part
in the fray which ended when
the redskins were defeated at the

turned the grape-shot over to

Barton has a theory that by
putting moth balls in the gaso
line tank one ball to a gallon
of gasoline he gets more
power and more mileage. The
moth balls also are supposed to
clean the carbon from the cylin
der and pistons.
Barton cautions not to fill the
tank more than halt full oftgas
wnen using the moth balls, as
extra gas is generated. He said
that he only uses the moth balls
every other month, since that is
sufficient to keep the carbon
cleaned out.
He was out of moth balls and
could buy none at the drug store
but found plenty in the pockets
of the overcoat when he got it
out of storage.

LAW FORBIDS RAW
SALMON IN YARDS
Residents of this area 'were
reminded today that there is a
state law which forbids anyone
putting raw salmon out where
it may be picked up by animals,
the Jackson County Humane so
ciety said today. In addition to
this, the society has a standing
reward of $100 for Information
which leads to the conviction of
anyone on this charge, it was
said. The law applies to any
portion of a raw fish, the society
states.
The statement was issued fol
lowing a call from Mrs. R. R.
McConochie, 1015 West Twelfth
street, who reported that her
dog had returned home carrying
a raw fish head this morning.
Mrs. McConochie stated that the
dog had been roaming in the
vicinity of the Washington
school and grocery.
Mrs. Beulah Richarson of the
Humane society pointed out this
morning that dog owners may
often save the lives of pets who
have eaten raw salmon if they
will take the dog. to a veterinar
ian at once since a new treat
ment for salmon poisoning now
in use is about 80 per cent effec
tive if started at once.
