A Question
To the Editor: May I ask
Mr. Kinney, president of the
Jackson County Fruit Grow
ers league, one question?
The shiny tourist dollar and
the sweaty dusty labor dollar
make the same delightful
jingle in the cash register.
Why do we try so hard to at
tract the former and fail to
hire a man merely because
he will spend practically all
of his hard-earned pay check
right here in the valley where
he earned it??????
Mrs. M. M. Hamilton
Route 3, Box 242
Medford
Fruit Picking
To the Editor: I am very
much in disagreement with
the write-up on the fruit ex
changes and all the big shots'
views on the fruit working
problem. I can answer in two
small words the reason for
worker shortage in the pear
harvest: More money. They
pay 20c in Lake county. Pick
ers are running over each
other down there. Boxes, are
prorated, right now, and still
some cheap , ranchers have
Mexican help. Even 18c a box
here would draw more pick
ers than you could use.
I received 10c per box right
here in Medford back in the
40s, when you could get park
ing for trailer for $2.50 to $4,
and buy groceries for half
what you pay now. Eleven to
14 cents is all the growers
here pay year in and year
out. Sure, we save very little
money. We have our own
transportation problems, gas
is high, upkeep on trailers
and cars is high, everything
has gone up and up but not
our wages for picking.
They use every excuse to
get Mexican labor here, but
the real reason is trying to
save 2 or 3 cents on a box of
fruit.
I get a laugh out of the
one, "the picking is for strong
men." I have had my neck
broken, my little wife weighs
110 pounds. We will pick
pears with any two Mexicans
you bring across the border.
Grade every box and if we
don't out-pick and out-grade
them, our picking is free.
Take a look around some
free camps. I just got moved
out of a free one only two
weeks ago. Bad sewer system,
sure, but when I had to pay
$6 a week for rent I still
picked 12c pears.
I have picked fruit since
1928. Take that from me and
1,000 v more just like me, I
don't know" anything else,
where to go or what to do.
Just close the border, leave
the Mexicans, and pay a wage
that we can live on. Quit call
ing us thieves and riffraff
they can talk to a Mexican
like he is a dog, but a white
man talks right back. No sir,
Mexicans is not the 64 dollar
question this time. Better for
get them. The relief rolls will
reach from coast to coast this
winter, and Mexico will
laugh.
From a disgusted fruit
picker.

Rodeos of Other Days
To the Editor: On the front
page of the Mail Tribune
Monday, Aug. 18, there was
an article about the Rodeo
that just finished playing here
for three days under the
sponsorship of esteemed Med
ford Junior Chamber of Com
merce, and the Chamber was
lamenting the fact that they
didn't make so good on it.
Undoubtedly the Jaycees
deserve a pat on the back for
some projects that they push,
but off hand I can't think of
one. They seem to have the
collective id' a that no one
but themselves have the abili
ty to think. That all they
have to do is to suggest peo
ple do something and sit
back and reap the rewards.
Such as "Write 'Em, Invite
Them to Oregon." The old
Western hospitality is dead
and buried and completely
out of date. And while they
are here we will take them
for $12.50 each a day.
The same type of reason
ing was used in sponsoring
the Rodeo.
The entry fee' was $25 per
contestant, for each event.
Tickets were on sale for from
$2 and some cents to $3.50
or better. The top money in
each event was to be a prince
ly $100. The $100 might look
like big money to the Cham
ber heads, but as a few years
back, rodeo contestant, the
writer would like to inform
them that in those days the
prize money ran from $100 to
$750 in the different events
and in addition the top bronc
rider generally got a silver
mounted saddle, worth from
$250 to $500, and top men in
other events were given sil
ver mounted equipment that
ran into pretty good sums
over and above the cash
prizes. Tickets were $.50 for
kids that had it, the kids that
didn't have it were let in
free. General admission was
$.75 to $1, Grandstand $1.25
to SI. 50. and that was the rule
. even in the worst wide-place-
1... . 1 1 A
m-tne-roaa towns we naa to
ride in. Oh yes the entrance
fee was generally $5 per con
testant, per event. Conse
quently, everybody came, the
best performers came, the
people came, the stock was
of the best quality, everyone
enjoyed it and had fun and
didn't feel that they had been
! robbed.
The show expenses were
generally guaranteed by some
public spirited businessmen.
So think it over, "Cham
ber." I like that name, it is
such a nice inclusive vehicle
for some of their ideas.

CLUB
Depletion Rate Is
Stressed at Hearing
Salem (UPD Operating
areas rather than county
units should be used in fig
uring the depletion rate fac
tor in timber taxation, timber
industry witnesses told a
hearing before the State Tax
commission here Friday.
Roger C. Henselman, mem
ber of the legal staff of Wey
erhaeuser Timber company,
declared that the depletion
rate is the most important as
pect of the timber taxation
problem, owing to the wide
variance of rates in some
counties.
Henselman said the county-wide
depletion rate system
was extremely injurious to
the finances of small school
districts having a rapid rate
of depletion, as well as being
unfair to other classes of tax
payers. He also' contended that the
county-wide system has an
adverse effect on sustained
yield operations of timber
owners, since it discourages
them from planning a long
time operation.
The hearings, which began
July 7, will continue this
week with sessions set for
Monday, Wednesday and
Friday.
