Farm Families Take
Advantage of Program
A number of farm families
in Josephine and Jackson
counties are taking advantage
of the farm-housing loan pro
gram offered by the U. S. de
partment of agriculture, ac
cording to Eugene M. Denney,
supervisor of the local office
in Grant Pass.
The program is designed to
"provide decent, safe and san
itary farm dwellings, essential
farm service buildings and re
lated facilities to farm owners
who do not have sufficient re
sources to provide such hous
ing and cannot secure it frum
other sources on terms which
they could reasonably be ex
pected to fulfill," Denny ex
plained. Interest rate is 4 per cent on
the unpaid principal and the
maximum repayment period
is 33 years. In order to qual
ify, the applicant must be
owner of a unit with sufficient
acreage in agricultural pro
duction to provide a substan
tial portion of his total cash
income and be recognized in
the community as a farmer,
rather than a rural resident.
Anyone desiring further in
formation about the program
and credit available should
call at the local office, room
9, Manchel building, or write
to post office box 311, Grants
Pass.

Basic Changes in Workmen's
Compensation Law Needed
Ashland - Pressures of the
modern industrial revolution
now taking place in Oregon
demand basic changes in the
Oregon Workmen's Compen
sation law, Rep. Keith D. Skel
ton (D-Lane county), chair
man of the house ways and
means committee, told Ash
land Rotarians last week.
This law was defective
when It was enacted and basic
changes are now required,
Skelton said. He invited em
ployers and employees to Join
in a crusade for improvement
of the law.
The original law provided
an employer in hazardous in
dustry could insure his re
sponsibility to his employees

In one of three ways: (1)
through the slate Industrial ac
cident commission, (2) through
private insurance, (3) by self
insurance.
In Liability Act
However, this law only ap
plied to those employees in
hazardous Industry, the state
representative pointed out.
When an employer decided he
wanted private insurance or to
be self insured he and his em
ployees were not given the
benefits and protections of
workmen's compensation. In
stead they were brought un
der the employer's liability
act.
Benefits of workmen's com
pensation to employers and
employees included certainty
of payment of compensation,
reduction of red tape and de
lay, removal of cases from tax
supported courts into adminis
trative procedures financed
i by industry and insurers,
i gives the employer an oppor
j tunlty to choose between buy-
ing insurance from state or
private enterprise, and im
proved safety and medical re
search thus reducing tne acci
dent rate.
Employees and employers
who are insured through the
industrial accident commis-
5f. Mary's Student
Mentioned in List
Donald G. Davy, 123 Lin
coln St., Medford, a St. Mary's
High school student, is among
students receiving honorable
mention for scholarship com
petition, according to the Uni
versity of San Francisco com
mittee on scholarships.
More than 200 students par
ticipated in the scholarship
competition held at S e r r a
High school in Salem and at
12 other locations in Califor
nia, Nevada, Arizona and Col
orado, according to the Rev.
John H. Martin, committee
chairman. The USF scholar
ships range from $4,000 to $2,
400 to defray four years of
college expenses.
sion are receiving these bene
fits only in theory, Skelton
said.
The commission has stood
on technicalities and rules to
throw roadblocks in the way
of injured employees, the
state representative argued.
"Of the 570,000 employed
at peak periods in the slate
only about 330,000 are covered
by Industrial accident com
mission," Skelton pointed out.
"This means that about 240
000 eir.-.'oyees in Oregon do
not receive the benefits of
the law, Skelton stated.
Employee and taxpayer pay
the penalty for the present
law's inadequacies, Skelton
pointed out. Those who are
not in industries classified as
hazardous must go on relief
or dip into savings when they
are injured seriously.
Workmen's compensation
costs to industry have risen
from $29.5 million in 1953-55
to $48.5 million in 1959-60,
the state representative not
ed. Costs will continue to rise
as long as the present court
administered system of law re
mains, he said. Skelton added
that he has been retained as
attorney for the committee on
competitive workmen's com
pensation. This consists of all
segments of industry interest
ed in revising the present law
he explained.
Safety Procedures
If the law is revised private
insurers could bring modern
remedial safety procedures to
bear on reduction of costs and
injuries. In most monopoly
fund stales such as Oregon
the death rate is higher than
in states where the private in
surance writes workmen's
compensation, Skelton point
ed out.
An alternative to his plan
would mean eventual com
plete socialization of work
men's compensation in Ore
gon, Skelton insisted. He con
cluded that he hoped employ
ees and employers would
write him telling their expe
riences with the industrial ac
cident commission and with
claims in general under the
present situation.

There's i weird little tale
In the new s. It concerns a
childless widower who died in
Chicago and left his entire es
tate to a college. Included in
his papers was a map. It was
a buried treasure man. The
map spotted a place in the city.
rne administrators o( his es
tate went there and dug. They
tound the buried chest. It con
tained GOLD-about $100,000
worth of it.
Where did the gold come
from? He had BOUGHT IT,
a dozen years or so ago, and
buried it. Of course he broke
the law. By that time it had
been made a crime for a U.S.
citizen to own monetary gold.
But he's dead now. Death
wipes out a lot of scores. The
college will get the money he
bequeathed to it.
DO-
Let's go on from there to
a little dissertation on mone
tary gold.

PRIOR to 1933. field had
been officially worth $20.67
an ounce. That Is to say, an
ounce of gold was then ex
changeable for 20.67 PAPER
dollars. Or - putting it the
other way around - 20.67
paper dollars were exchange
able for an ounce of gold.
I hen -
By fiat of law -
The government of the
United States bought up ALL
THE GOLD and when it had
11 the gold in its possession
RAISED THE PRICE to 35
paper dollars per ounce.
N THE transaction, the gov
ernment of the United
States made a profit of hun
dreds and hundreds of mil-
ions of dollars. A part of this
profit was used to pay off gov
ernment debt. It should be
added that a considerable
ether part of the paper profit
was used to pay for a lot of
the boondoggling that was
current In those days.
SO much for what happened
in the na.t. T,M' nnv .fan
the horizon to see what
MIGHT happen In the future.
IN THE 27 years since 1SS3,
the debt ot the federal eov
rnmerit ot the United States
hel Tlien tentestlceuy. On De
cember 31, 1059, Its total wee
$200,924,917,717. In eel
those figures are too big to be
grasped, here Is the total in
words-two hundred and nine
ty billion, nine hundred and
twenty-four million, nine hun
dred and seventeen thousand,
seven hundred and seventeen
dollars, v That amount to a
.ittie better man sieoo per
present inhabitant el the U.S.,
or about $6500 for a family of
four.
The INTEREST on our na
tional debt now amounts to
more than THE TOTAL COST
OF RUNNING OUR FEDER
AL GOVERNMENT a couple
of generations ago.
THIS Is the point:
Sooner or later, some finan
cial genius on the order of
Lord Keynes Is going to pro
pose that we RAISE THE
PRICE OF GOLD AGAIN -
say to 70 paper dollars per
ounce - and use the resulting
profit to pay off a chunk of
our debt.
If that happens, keep this
In mind: The money thus
creeated would be FUNNY
MONEY. In the long run, fun
ny money never did ANY
BODY any good.
According to a recent sur
vey, 77 per cent of new home
owners buying new home
furnishings, generally shop
ped the page of the daily
newspaper before making
their purchases. National fur
niture and furnishings manu
facturers know this. That's
why they invested an esti
mated $9.9 million In news
paper advertising last year.
