MR.. TANGEN WRITES AGAIN

lOleuO, OTe.
To the Leader:
Web says that an agent will do
much through the Grange and
other organizations-he seems
TO think We can not have organ
izations unless we have county
agent.
But Web doesn't stop to think
how these people are going to
get to these organizations when
the roads are so few and being
they are so bad in the winte,
time. There are many farmers
living many miles away from
these organization places and
can not attend on account of it
being to far and takes up to
much of their time which is re-.
qaired very much on most
farms.
Web also says many schemes
are hatched and many are good
out ne seems to think the only
way to hatch them is by a coun-
ty agent. consider first of all
we need more roads, better
roads, more business and a bet
ter market for our vegetables
and fruit and other products.
When we get these things w
can afford to pay more taxes and
also see about an agent if VIC
come to consider that we need
one.
While II again distresses m,
TO say to Web don't be one sided
about a thing for thcre are two
sides TO everything.
Respectfully yours.
q. Tangen.

CLOVER AND HOGS
PAY IN LANE COUNTY

Toledo, Ore, Nov. 2S, '16.
Editor Leader:
| have seen several pieces in
your paper for and against a
County Agent and it seems the
main objection is higher taxes.
Now l am like a great many
others but if we had some one
to show us how to raise more
and better crops we would be
more able to pay our taxes be-
sides it would be only a few
cents for each one and if few
cents are going to break us up
l think the sooner the better.
| lived in Lane county eight
years and six years ago when |
left there, there wasn't so acres
of clover in the county and in
the eight years there wasn't s
car loads of hogs shipped out.
Three years ago they hired a
County Agent aid have one yet.
He advocated raising clover
and corn and now every farm
has more or less clover and a
patch Of corn.
In the last year and a half
there have been 81 car loads of
hogs shipped from Eugene and
Junction City to Portland and
three of the loads topped the
Portland market so they wasn't
razor backs either.
Now who would you give the
credit to? OF course some will
say they could of done that with
out the Agent. Sure thing but
why didn't they do it? They
have always had the same land
that they have always had and
it used to be a great deal richer
too.
Mr.. Tangen said in his letter
that he came here IS years ago
and hasn't been out of the coun-
ty since.
think if he would 20 out and
see what they are doing other
places he would come home and
boost for a county agent.
Mr.. Tangen also said the
school children didn't learn from
the teacher but from books
why go to the expense of hiring
teacher when books will suffice.
Mr.. Clark of Elk City said he
had lived on a farm nearly all
his life and didn't need county
agent either.
Maybe if he had had one he
wouldn't have had to go to Up.
Gle Sam for a job when he got so
old he couldn't farm.
would like to ask Mr.. Tan
gen if he is getting all out of
his land that there is to be had
out side of fern. If he is | am
coming out next summer and
will try to get Web to go with
me.
Let's all boost for a County
Agent for 1917.
Respectfully,
chas. Severson.

DO WE NEED A COUNTY
AGENT OR BRIDGE?

We do.
In the Leader of Nov. "a, Mr..
Tangen says that experience
is the best teacher"
1t is also the dearest. One of
Mr.. Tangen's experiments"
may cost him more than his
share Of the taxes to pay the
salary of a county agent. The
county agent might show him
the fallacy of the wrong Eek
pertinent" in time to save him
a lot of money.
He even states that he
lives two miles from a coun-
.ty road but can go to town
by boat. Probably he can
put a big scow load
of freight to town or to his
place for very little money. Hor-
rible. 1t may interest him to
know that the writer has to pack
for five miles over a rough
mountain trail to get to the rail
road. Which has the Wors
case? The present appro-
tions are not large enough, b.
are as large as they can be u
til the farmers make more nor
ey. Then they will pay more
taxes and the road appropria.
tions will be higher and we car
build more roads as matter OF
course.
He also says that a school pu-
pill learns more from his books
than from the teacher. Believ-
ing | could get facts from the
principals of the matter. ]
asked a certain small boy this
question:
How did you learn the most
to day, from your books, or did
teacher teach you?"
Teacher teached me-" he re-
turned without pausing even to
think. He ought to know,
shouldn't he?
He even insinuates that Web
is a moss-back and wants every
thing for himself. Ouch! Tells
him to boost for roads, too, just
as if Web never had boosted for
roads a bit. 1t might be well for
Carb to read some of the back
numbers of the Leader, as he
might find a little boosting tuck
ed away somewhere.
AS far as the bridge is con-
cerned | do not think that there
should be any questioning or
dilly-dallying about It.
The proper place for n bridge
is not at Mill Creek, but at To-

claim that it is not needed Is
ridiculous. Elk City, Big Elk,
Harlan, Drift Creek and all the

it badly.

l A I | N AMERICA SEEKS HIGHER
 MORALITY

PANAMA, Feb. 17. - Many govern mental leaders in Latin America frown on the work of the churches. and con tend that religion leads to immortality. according to a report submitted today to the Congress on Religious Work, which is in session here, by the Com mission on Cooperation and Promo tion of Unity.
 At the same time the commission reported that the great majority of the public men of the southern re pubics were fully alive to the urgent importance of raising the moral char acter and ideals of their fellow citi- zcns and were willing to lend their aid to any movement which they be lievod would tend to that result
 "The great majority of government. al leaders in Latin America, says the report, recognize the necessity and importance of high moral character in their people; unfortunately only a minority believe that the desired character can be achieved by means of the Christian religion. Not few stoutly contend that religion leads to immortality. Evidence is not wanting that cooperation will be given by governments and officials to any agency that demonstrated it's desire and ability to meet the physical, moral and intellectual needs of the people Several governments are active in campaigns for sanitation, for better housing of the industrial classes, and for the reception and assimilation of immigrant people"
 The commission records striking eX- amples of governmental aid given to educational instructions conducted by missionary societies, notably in Bo- livia, Chile, Argentina and Brazil. The activities of the Young Mems Chris tian Association, in particular. have been given hearty support in various Latin American republics. In pro noting this cooperation and in fur thering all efforts to improve moral and religious conditions in Latin Am erica the Pan-American Union ir Washington has taken notable part says the report.

NO CHANGE TO BE MADE IN
 FOOTBALL RULES.

From what can be gathered con cerning the views of the various men who look after the revising of the football rules. it does not seem at all likely that any drastic changes will be made when these gridiron solons meet on February 26 and 27 in New York city That there may be few minor changes generally is conceded, but the experience of the 1915 season has fairly we'll demonstrated that. taken by and large. the rules as they now stand, are fairly satisfactory

KEEL. Feb. 17. The University of Kiel has begun the collection of all the poetry of the war which has more than mediocre merit.

The big money has not been paid exclusively for Federal league stars, for retiring baseball magnates have sold their club stock for many times what it cost them a few years ago. The sale of the Chicago Cubs. Boston Braves, St. Louis Browns and the New York Americans, brought close to $2,00O.OOO which was more than double what the previous owners paid for these clubs. Now Manager George TT. Stallings, of the Boston Nationals, has just closed a five year contract with that club at an annual salary re ported to be $2O,OOO Just where re- trenchment and economy come in is not apparent, unless the magnates plan to require the average big league player to pay for the privilege of playing on the team.

SALARIES B AL l PLAYERS JUMP
 SEWARD

NEW YORK. Feb. F. - Following the peace agreement between the Federal league and organized baseball it was stated by the big league mag mates that baseball salaries and ex- penses would be revised downward. Players salaries were to be reduced and their contracts issued from year to year in place of the long term agreements in vogue during the con flict between organized and indepen- dent interests.
 It was pointed out that the major Iity of the clubs could not meet eX- penses under the conditions existing, 1 and that it would be necessary to cur tail salaries expenses, training trips and in general bring to bear a mod ern business efficiency system in order that professional baseball might be placed on a paying basis again. While it is possible that the magnates may be planning to inaugurate such a sys- tenn there certainly is no sign of such movement at the present time.
 In the matter of preparing for the 1916 baseball season the magnates both old and new appear to have taken leaf from the book of the promoters of the proposed Willard-MOran bout, and entered the field of frenzied fin ance. In buying baseball club stock, securing Federal league stars and signing managers the sums spent sur pass all previous records, and it will require some very clever retrench- ment in the months to come if the magnates expect to reach the finan- cial plane outlined only few months ago.
 Five clubs in the National and Am erican leagues alone have paid more than $120,O0O for the privilege Of as suming the top-heayy contracts of ten of the Federal league stars, if ere dence can be placed in the sale fig ures announced to the press. In ad- dition to paying large sums for the requirement of these players, the clubs are legally obligated to continue the salaries agreed on between the former Federal league magnates and their star players, and these salaries are known to be extremely high.
 The average purchase price of these ten players is a trifle over $12,- 900, and since it is certain that their average yearly salary is at least $5,- GOO. the initial years outlay will be about $175,OOO, as can be seen from the following list of players and their sale price;

The dissenting delegates are bitter in

LABOR MEDIATORS FLOCK
TO NEW YORK STRIKE TROUBLE
Railroad Telegraphers Form Most Sc
rious Phase of Problem

NEW YORK, May 4.-Fednral and
State officials intervened today in an at
tempt to check the spread of labor trouble
in New York. -
c. Wallace Hanger, assistant COM
missioner of the Federal Board of Media
ton, who came from Washington, is at
tempting to avert n strike of 5000 rail-
road telegraphers and signal men, and
has offered to mediate the differences.
Headed by Colonel Michael j. Regan,
several members of the State Bureau of
Mediation came from Albany in an effort
to settle the marine strike, which has
traffic on East and North Rivers and New
York Bay badly crippled.
A conference was arranged between
members of the State Bureau of Media
tion and representatives of the New York
Boat Owners Association and the engi-
neers. to be held at the barge office this
afternoon.
captulated. and their employees have re-
turned to work, and officials of the En-
gineers' Association believe all the others
will be forced to give in by Sunday.
More than 10000 toilers are on strike
in New York city, and at least 500, 900
persons are directly or indirectly affected,
Many nonstrkers have been thrown out
of work as a result of the labor trou-
bles. ,
Sixty per cent. of the entire cloak and
suit industry in the United States is tied
up by the strike of the garment makers,
and there is no present indication of an
early settlement.
The strike of the railroad telegraphers
and signalmen holds the most serious pos
siblites. A. T. Hardin, vice president
of the New York Central Lines, upon
which road the trouble originated, de-
clared that the company would not give
in, and that officials of the line have
no fear of tie-up.

PEACEN PITTSBURGH
INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT
APPARENTLY AT HAND
With State Troopers Prepared
to Quell Disorder, Steps To-
ward Ending Strike by
Mediation Are Taken
WESTINGHOUSE WILLING

PITTSBURGH May 4.-Peace in Pitts
burgh's industrial strife. which already
has cost three lives and, resulted in the
proclamation of martial law throughout
the Turtle Creek and Upper Monongahela
Valleys, was in prospect today.
With 1900 State troopers patrolling the
streets of East Pittsburgh and Braddocli,
900 of their number mounted the second
step toward bringing about a settlement
of the general strikes was taken The first
was the appointment by the strikers of a
Mediation Committee of 20 yesterday.
This committee met with Patrick Gilday,
chief of the State Bureau of Arbitration
and Mediation, today for the purpose of
arranging a conference with President W.
NJ Herr, of the Westinghouse Electric and
Manufacturing Company and officials of
other companies affected by the strike.
Herr cleared the way for mediation toduy
when he said:
81 am willing to discuss terms of set
tlement of this strike with any authorized
committee of bona 'fde employees of our
plant"
Five members of the Mediation Com
mittee, who are bona fide Westinghouse
workmen, were selected to meet Mr.. Herr.
The Westinghouse workers, who, with
the others, are striking for an eight.hour
day. have lost $1,112,50O in wages thus
far according to the company's state
ment today. The wage losses of the host
of strikers from other plants cannot be
estimated
Hundreds of strikers returned to work
when their plants were reopened this
morning, expressing their willingness to
abide by the terms agreed upon by their
committees in conference with their EN-.
ployers.
The climax of the strike disorder is be.
lieved to have passed with Tuesdays
pitched battle. The third victim died dur
ing the night Two others are in a critical
condition.
The probability is that the guardsmen
will be ordered back to their homes as
soon as a tentative agreement with COM
pany officials is reached by the strikers.
There has been no disorder whatsoever
since the guardsmen arrived.
Separate from the general peace move,
but affected by the spirit of II, the 1000
striking workmen of the Pittsburgh and
Lake Erie shops at NTcl<ees Rocks have
appointed a Mediation Committee of IL
to take up terms of settlement with their
employers. 1t is expected that by early
next week the general 8-hour-day strike,
which has changed the Pittsburgh dis
trict from n hive Of industry to a city
of idleness, will be completely at an end.

ing hours. He stated that the compensa-
tion law provided for such conditions.
and he believed the same construction
should be placed on the agreement by
miners and operators.
Delegate Kelly informed the convention
that the Panther Creek Valley strike,
which was begun by a walkout OF 10000
workers yesterday, was due TO misinter-
probation of the eight-hour day.
National President White and District
President Kennedy commenting on this
strike, stated that the proper officers
would enforce all provisions in the agree
ment after ratification, compelling the
operators to conform to all provisions
Mr.. White added that some operators
had put the eight-hour day into operation
voluntarily and local strikes required the
cooperation of the entire union body He
asked the delegates not to allow the pres
ent misunderstanding of any clause to act
against the real principles of the agree
ment as a whole.
