HEED EDITOR
HERE ON VISIT
II. II. Worthlnglon. "the best
newspaperman Klamath county has
ever had," In In the city. Ho arrived
hero last opening and Is stopping at
tho White I'ellcan. Over a quarter
of a century ago "Dave" Worthlng
lon owned und edited a wookly paper
In this city, and thoso who lived hero
at that (lino and who are still resi
dents of tho county always refer to
him as the ablest newspaperman
thnt has graced this section before
or slnco. And they are right, for
Mr. Worthlugton has duplicated his
work at llelolt, Wisconsin, whom ho
owns The Nowu, recognized as tho
lender among tho dallies of the mid
dle west. People arc often prone to
measure greatness, ability and suc
cess by tho dollar mark, and even
with (his yardstick Mr. Worthlugton
upholds tho reputation given him by
his friends of earlier days, bolng
uhlo to reckon his annual Income by
six figures and hU worldly posses
sions by seven,
It Is now about a decade slnco Mr,
Worthlugton dropped in to see his
old friends und In that time great
changes huvo taken place in this
city, so great, In fact, that ho would
have felt 111(0 n stranger In n strnngo
laud, If It wero not for tho old time
welcome extended by Captain Sie
mens, Jildgu I.euvltt, John llonston,
Captain l.en and tho others who has
tened to greet him.
In tho days when Mr. Worthing
ton was "running" his paper It took
courage and ho had plenty mid to
spare. With tho mime enthusiasm as
ho .would roast a foe or support n
friend, ho would light with him or
for him and often whon discussing
tho'stlrrlug tlnu8"thut always mark
ed tho political campaigns of early
days will you hour how So and So
started In to trim Davo Worthlugton,
with the usual result tho trimmer
got trimmed.
Mr. Worthlugton Is returning
form a vacation trip to tho Orient.
Ho expects to start east Sunday.

TAJIOK, Cal , Jur.8 11. Tho -problem
of deflation of thn currency Is
tho most pressing of those confront
ing hanking Interests, delegates to
tho California Hankers association
here wero told today by Rcorge S.
Meredith of Oakland, president of)
tho convention -
"A year ego a spirit of optimism
was abroad In thn land, new enter
prises wero planned on every hand,
and a spell of hopotul confidence pre
vnded tho country," hq.sald. "And
for a time our bright hopes seemed
to bo realized, crops were good and
nature blcsiedjthe West richly. A
year ago. deflation of our currcmy
and credits wait not often discussed.
Today It Is the, tlomlnant topic. As
wo review the situation today wo
sou tbarllilfls'llonsVrirherltablc.rroni
tho moment tho United States ceased
to bo a debtor nation nnd became a
creditor nation." "
Federal renervo banks long ago
could have "applied tho brakes" to
tho Inflation movement by raising
the discount rate, said Meredith.
"I am not ono to condemn tho
Fetferal Ucscrvo Dank for allowing
expansion to reach the peak." ho I
continued, "rather. It would seem toi
bo Its duty to' finance tho Clovern-
ment even though the Oovcrnment
wern conducted on on exthavagant
nnd profligate scale. Now must come
the period of foreign readjustment.
This meets an added obstruction In
the condition of forolgn exchange.
A condition so bad thnt a debt of
1000 marks, formerly equal to about
$240, could recently be settled for
ten dollars."
Referring to International policy
Meredith said:
"The time has come for this na
tion tq declare Its dissociation with
European affairs In all that does not
concern us In respect of our political
safety and Industrial welfare. Utop
ian notions of brotherly responsibili
ty, pledged In formal compacts, have
no proper placo In this nation's per
manent policy."
A gravo danger which threatens
tho business life of America, Mere
dith said. Is the prevailing system of
taxatjon, "which eliminates tho re
sources oi mo investors upon wnom
our enterprises have been depend
ent In tho past."
TWO MEETINGS OF
