"T h e Townsend plan is the best

State Senator U. S.
Balentine
Wednesday night when he spoke to
an entheusiastic crowd in Ontario.
Further Balentine said that he
would, if elected, not only vote for,
but would work aggressively toward
the enactment of the
Townsend
Plan.
Balentine advocated the removing
from the shelves of the merchants
of this country, cheaply produced
foreign products, especially foreign
farm products. Particularly would
Balentine work to knock the recent
ly set sugar beet acreage allotment
Into a “cocked hat.”
"Let's get the government o ff the
necks of the people. Present gov
ernmental regulation of business
and farming is destructive, not only
to the small farmer but to the small
business man as well. T o strangu
late the farmer and small business
of the United States by continued
governmental regulation is to add
to the already swelling ranks of the
unemployed,” Balentine said.
Balentine made a prediction that
the recent sugar beet acreage allot*
ment. would be increased for this
UMCHct. " I believe that this quota
will be increased as a political ex
pediency, at the right time in this
campaign, the sugar beet acreage
allotment for tih& district Is a polit­

entlne concluded.
After making one start toward
staging fights in Nyssa. the local
Post of the American Legion has
made up a definite fight
card
which will take place Thursday, Oc­
tober 20 In the pavilion of the Nyssa
Commission company.
The card will have 26 rounds of
top notch fighters, including a well
known Pendleton Japanese fighter,
Harold Hoshino. Hoshino, a 125
pounder has built up a fine reputa­
tion in the northwest for his scrap­
piness In the ring and has a large
following of fight fans, and those in
charge of the Legion fights consider
themselves fortunate in getting Hos­
hino for the main event here.
Opposing Hoshino In the 8 round
main eventer will be Tony Domin­
guez, 123 pounds, tough little Span­
iard who has taken the count of
some of the best fighters the north­
west has had to offer. This is the
first time that these two boys have
met and the committee in charge
promise that anything can happen
in this fight.
In the semi-windup. 6 round bout
Billy Sears and Lester Moore, both
of Payette, will put on a grudge
fight. Both of them are profession­
als and not long ago decided to
work each other over in a dance
hall in Payette, the affair was not
conclusive enough for
cither of
them with the result that they were
signed up for the Legions fight next
Thursday. Both of these fighters
will weigh in at 163 pounds. Three
more bouts have been arranged to
fill out the first fight card of the
year for Nyssa.
Tickets will be on sale ahead of
the fight .to give the local fans a
chance to assure themselves tickets.
