In the South and East, moves have been launched to again "di vide the wealth," similar talk arising after World War I, and the depression - recession.

Woody Herman got a chuckle out of a letter he re ceived from his next-door neighbor's daughter. She wrote: "Mother makes me eat so much that I've gained an awful lot of weight, I weigh 117 pounds stripped, but I'm not sure that those scales in front of the drug store are right or not." ... The sister' city of Eugene boasts a new and noval pain in the civic nevk. They have run out of ration books, the two that have the stamps for the gru'b'ahd shoes, the stores have run out of. Bert Orr, the chalr-and-sofa man, has a birthday tomorrow. Except he is old enough to vote, and is no longer young, little is known about the number of his years. e Two autos attempted to knock a freight train off the Main Stem crossing late yes.

(New York Sun) "But what will arouse the curiosity of those who hesitate to take what seem to be ex treme risks In a period of fluctuating employment Is the fact that, despite rationing, the new enterprises in that first half of 1944 Included 8.400 eat- Ing and drinking places and 13,500 filling stations." ... The lamb situation In Oregon is paradoxical or something. In an OPA mix-up a contest rages to determine which has the most wool pulled over their eyes the lambs or the public. The Hoblas Deuel woodpile Is nearlng completion, and may cause an outbreak of the Hal lowe'en spirit, before the Fourth of July. e e The army purchasers of but ter after August will be sharply curtailed, after which it is ex pected to be no mental fecat to tell which side, if any, of the bread Is buttered.

Ecuador was part of the orig inal state founded by the South American liberator, Simon Boli var. . San Francisco, June 26. Almost exactly a year ago we had our first close-up of President Truman. He was on the platform of' the Chicago Stadium, receiving congratulations on his victory over Henry Wallace for the vice-presidency of the United States. Yesterday we had our second close-up, and we ran head-on into one of the miracles of modern democ racy, and perhaps the fundamental reason for not only the amazing victory in the present war, but for the survival and eventual supremacy of free democ racy in this battered world. For there and here, ladies and gentlemen, were two completely different men, as different in actions, manner, bearing and personality, as the two scenes were different, That Chicago Stadium with its heat, dirt, sweat and whipped-up political enthusiasm, as the camera bulbs flashed and the successful candidate, flustered, nervous, even apprehensive, allowed iJoss Kelly to seize his hand and pull him through the milling crowd to the platform ' 'mike" and, Salty, cool, fresh, stimulating San Francisco, the sun breaking through the cold fog as the President's caravan crossed the bridge over the white-capped waters of the Golden Gate, the President standing straight as a soldier in the open car, holding his cam paign hat" aloft in one hand, waving a greeting with the other, as everyone cheered and cheered, and.the new Commander-in-Chief of all American forces, now assured, self-confident, triumphant, smiled and smiled! ! ! A free democracy and the individual development that democratic responsibility and free play of forces gives, was responsible for that miracle. j Repeat that miracle a thousand, a million times in its innumerable manifestations, a force and a fer ment constantly going on, only stimulated and extend ed by a crisis, and you have, HAVEN'T you? . The chief reason why, TODAY, a leading democ- racy is the most powerful nation in the world ; and a leading autocracy the weakest ! Yes, President Truman is a changed man, and the transformation has taken place in a single year. It reminds us of, Mrs. McAdoo's remark about her famous father's dictum that "God knows best." There was not only disappointment but bitterness among Roosevelt's strongest followers over the defeat of former Vice President Wallace at Chicago a year ago. But how different, and how much less promising, would conditions in this country be today, if Henry Wallace were in the Presidential suite at the Fairmont instead of Harry Truman ! For the latter unquestionably is the man for the job at this particular period in our history, the clos ing days of a terrible war, and facing a most difficult task of national reconstruction. I Mr. Henry Wallace, in spite of his fine qualities of mind and heart, would NOT have been I And there is reason to believe that Mr. Tinman's consciousness of that fact is an important item in the President's surprising exuberance and self-confidence. , For he is essentially a business man, rather than a crusader, a trouble-shooter rather than a ' cheer leader And in all likelihood there is going to be plenty of trouble to shoot at during the next two or three years, and the cheering season will soon be over. . It was interesting to watch the crowds along the right of way. There were thousands of them from the bridge to Montgomery street and back . to. Nob Hill, and they cheered and waved and smiled, there was no doubt about the genuine cordiality of the greeting. But there was no evangelical fervor about it, such as would have marked a similar triumphal'e'ntree by President Roosevelt, the sparks did not fly, the emo-. tional safety-valve did no dancing. There were cheers of welcome, but no tears of joy, one felt strongly the good will and liking and confi dence yes the great respect, of . the . citizenry . of. San Francisco and environs, toward their new Presi dent; but when the cavalcade had passed by the crowds broke up, uncommonly cool and calm, and immediately back to emotional normalcy, went their several ways. Later at the new Memorial Opera House the United Nations Conference ended its work of two long months by approving the 10,000-word charter, amid general rejoicing and enthusiasm. Lord Halifax presided and, for the first time seemed vaguely disturbed, not entirely at ease, couldn't keep his hands still and his words while well chosen as always, came out hesitatingly, some thing like a host introducing guests at a banquet, with something else, say a walk-out in the kitchen, on his mind 1 The only really stirring note was supplied bv the veteran Francisco A. Delgado of the Philippines, rapporteur of Commission I, who in his closing re marks after submission of the report, paid high tribute to all the delegates for the wonderful work they had done and especially the friendly and cooperative spirit displayed, also to the truly marvelous hospitality ot the people of ban rancisco, and in conclusion with his voice firm and loud but tears in his eyes said : "ispeaking for myself and for all members of the Philippine delegation we HATE to leave 1" And one felt he meant it down to the soles of his shoes. Yes, regardless of what the product of this confer ence may prove to be as a historical document de signed to prevent future wars, there is no question whatever of the tremendous success of the meeting from the standpoint of promoting international amity and rood will, lasting friendships have been made, better understandings established, closer relations set up throughout 50 nations of the world. Ihe charter may work no miracles, but the meeting can t-fail to do great good ! K.W.K. News Behind The News By Paul Mallon 3 I- AaAl.,,,,,. Washington, June 28 Twas said upon the airways and in print Mr. Truman won his greatest victory over congress on the tariff ed 1 1 i n g pro gram. It seems to me someone should have smelled some thing, if not a mouse, when 15 senate re publicans vot ed for the de mocratic tariff bill. Unity has not yet devel oped in this world to the heavenly point that a republican accepts a de mocratic theory on this issue where their forefathers fought, bled and collected. Men have won the president's chair (and lost it also) for their stand on this one question alone. Nothing, including the civil war (which was a phase of the tariff dispute between the foreign free - trading cotton growers and the New England textile manufacturers desirous of protection) has so deeply torn the political hearts of Americans Paul Manna beautiful bonanza of the bounti ful postwar world, the one "in- dispensible leg" of the Roosevelt postwar program, including also the Bretton Woods bank and ex change matter and incidentally, the San Francisco agreement. The indispensible leg appar ently has rheumatic quotas and noncompetitive arthritis. ... r0 not ask me to make sense out of this tariff slashing thing. ' No one else has. If you want a personal hint, mine is that tariffs are archaic and of little importance at 25 per cent of their norma! rate or 100 per cent. The financial state of the nations of this world makes the value of their currency and many other factors (credit, goods available, etc.) the truly import ant considerations of trade. The whole subject is obsolete. But this, of course, is only my guess. As far as anyone knows it was "the greatest victory" Mr. Truman has won in congress but certainly also the greatest one enigmatology has won in my time. DUT this time congress, with republican votes, authorized a further slashing of 25 per cent by the president singlehanded (making 75 per cent in all from the old high tariff rates) without advice or consent of congress or the republican national com mlttee. Yet, even republican Senator Smith of Industrial New Jersey voted for it, changing his mind in the last few days from his previously announced repug nance to such a threat to Amer ican industrialist, farmer and laborer from cheap foreign com petition. Indeed, the senate did not change the bill one whit from the house version, which caused revival of all the partisan fight ing of ages, but it lust said "Yea," in a loud voice and sent H on to the president's desk, where he could victoriously find it upon his return from San Francisco. The hint of these strange do ings should have been sufficient warning that something was wrong, but If anyone reported it, I have not seen the report. Any analyst, however, will be forced to conclude the victory x.as for enigmatology, more than for Truman. Just before the slashing authority passed the house (and in order to get it through), Mr. Truman sent a bil let to his friend, Speaker Sam Rayburn, saying: "I have had drawn to my at tention statements to the effect that this increased authority might be used in such a way as to endanger or " trade out seg ments of American industry, American agriculture, or Amer ican labor." No "such action was taken under President RooseveH and Cordell- Hull and no- such action will take place under my presidency. www THE only .reason, for a tariff 1 rate, of course. Is to protect some . Amnrlean. Industry, farm or worker from cheap produc tion costs coming in competition from abroad. There are no tar iffs on noncompetitive products, n6 feasbrt for any: If there is to be no "danger to domestic Interests from tariff cutting, how can there be any tariff cutting in fact, why was the subject ever mentioned, or the law passed? To this question no senator I have found has even a private answer. The only suggestion approaching an explanation Is that Mr. Truman expects to horn in some way on the German and Jap trade by some magic yet un disclosed, and it will have to be big magic because the Nazi and Jap cost of production was what made this trade possible (includ ing electric light bulbs in our 10-cent stores for halt our cost of production). Why would not a republican vote for a democratic tariff pro position like that? Indeed, the administration went compromlsingly further and announced firmly that an escape clause would be adopted to Its future tariff-cutting treaties, one like the provision of the Mexican treaty which says restrictive quotas on Imports can be Imposed whenever the shipping nation gets too much goods (in our opinion) In any line of exports, or more than we can handle. But we have been told by the administration, the leftwingers and even republicans that quotas are horrible; in fact, were the cause of the war. And Mr. Tru man's people have .ivcrtifd ills new tariff slashing powers as a Flight o Time Medford and Jackson Co His tory from the files of the Mail Tribune 10. 20 and 34 years aao. AXY BONDS TODAY?

Riverside Ave. 9 n .aV ZW-111, a water soluble salt of Dinitro-o-cyclohexylphenol, has been thoroughly tested and proven by three years of successful com mercial use for the control of Rust Mites and Spider Mites in the Rogue River Valley. Not only is the initial kill extremely high but due to its prolonged toxic action the product re mains effective for several days, thus giving the opportunity for a thorough and complete clean up of the pest. While in most cases one application is sufficient, two applications . may be found necessary in orchards where late colonies of spider mites have become established. ZXiV-111 can be used as separate spray with out spreaders, stickers or wetting agents, or it may be used in combination with lead arsenate by the addition of Colloidal 2-1 Spreader. Its use will not interfere with or complicate any coddling moth spray program if properly timed nor complicate the subse quent removal of spray residue from the fruit. ZW-111 applied as directed by your County Horticulturist or local Dow dealer will give excellent results in the control of Rust Mites and Spider Mites.
