CONCRESSNEN TO
TAKE PART IN SALE
OF LIBERTY BONDS
Proposed Recess Be Taken
and They ALI Go Home to
Boost Bond Sale
MUST BE MADE GREATER
SUCCESS THAN OTHERS
Nothing Else viii Break Nor
ale Of German FmancierS
As This VIII Do

Washington, Mar. 14.-Congress may
take "win the war recess'' to sell
liberty bonds.
Legislative leaders with the support
of the treasury department, are urging
a pausing in congressional labors for
several days April 8, opening day of the
next liberty loan campaign, while mem
bers go home to talk bonds.
The question will be laid before the
house and senate shortly. Speaker Clark
favors it and Secretary McAdoo says
it should be done if at all possibley.
The next loan, those backing the plan
believe, will be one of the critical points
in the war. IT must bring forth the
same hearty response that former meas
ures have, or it will have the effect Of
indicating a weakening in Americas
morale.
Must Reach Farmers
Much of the congressional sliberty
campaigning, should the plan be APP
proved, would be directed at the farm
efs, who, it is admitted, have not done
their proportionate part in other loans.
This is largely due to the fact, it is
believed, that most of the campaign eff
forts have been carried on in the cities
and that many farmers did not UNDER
stand the need Of the bonds.
Medin Mccormick, illinois, congress-
man, who is one Of the leading hackers
of the plan, illustrates this by stating
that an Illinois farmer refused to buy
any bonds at all, until his banker in a
little country town gave him written
guarantee that the investment was abb
solutely safe. Then he invested $4,000
Can First Explain 1t.
"There is no one who can explain the
government s need better, because of his
close relationship, than the congressman,
and this is particularly true among tho
farmers, whose votes are usually very
energetically sought said Mccormick.
cit seems to be tremendously impor-
tant that the next loan should be made
the greatest success Of all. There il
nothing that would break German NOR
ale more or build up American spirit
more.
"'We should reach the people who
have the money to invest and who for
various reasons did not burden them
selves with bonds in the other issues.
And to the whole nation the fact should
be driven home that America is at war;
cit would be a great thing, 1T seems
to me, to have Representative ia
ranking member of the house ways and
means committee tour Illinois, for in
stance, or have a man like Representa-
tive Lever appeal to South Carolina. -

Governors ReaS Ons For
Maintaining Present Organ
izatiOn Set Forth

The Bend, Oregon, Press always has a
gossipy political letter from the state
capital. Last week the state fair board
was discussed as follows:
Salem, Ore, Mar 5.-The term of
Edyth Tozier Weatherred as member
of the state fair board expires next
week.
Win Governor Withycombe reappoint
her?
He will not.
Why?
Because she has not "played the
game" with all the docility the chief
executive expects of those who hold ap-
pointive offices under him.
The above, at least, is the way the
situation appears from the dope sheet
at the state house.
! Who will the governor appointf
That is a more difficult question to
answer, but it is considered a foregone
conclusion he will appoint woman, as
the primary election is close at hand
/ and the woman vote is thing to be
sought.
! A good guess as to the appointee is
Mrs. Winnie Braden Of Polk county, who
has had charge of one Of the depart
ments at the state fair for the last two
| or three years and seems to be popular.
The state fair board is one Of the
handiest things around the state cap
! ital with which to play politics. That
is why in the past there has been so
much fuss and turmoil in the board over
/ the board.
When Governor Withyeombe was elec-
ted Frank Meredith was secretary of
the board. He had been secretary for
several years, during which time the
board had enjoyed period Of eompara'
tive calm. He was soon succeeded By
W. Al Jones, member of the board up
to the time of his appointment as sec
retary, and also member Of the lower
house Of the legislature.
Following change in secretaries
things were running along smoothly
enough until an emergency arose. This

NETHERLANDS ACTING

Washington, Mar, 14-The United
States and Great Britain have notified
The Netherlands government that
dutch ships in American and entente
ports will be taken over unless the
agreement regarding tonnage is reach
led by next Monday, March 18.
The action affects all Dutch ships in

ltal will be taken as is necessary to
supply food to the nentrals.
There are some sixty two Dutch yes.

that could be taken over by the United
States in the harbors along the Allan
tic coast alone.
Such action by the allies involves
nothing new in international law, it Is
officially stated, but is the exercise
of a recognized right which has been
exercised by the German states in the
Franco-Prussian war and repeatedly
during the present war.
The United States already has TAX
en- over ships building in American
ports for neutral and allied owners.
The United States and its allies, it
is said, have been influenced to take
this step by the German submarine
menace which has prevented the put
ting into effect of the voluntary agree
ment with Holland. This agreement
provided for the passage of ships from
che Netherlands to replace Holland
ships sailing from this side, but the

emergency was the necessity for finding
place where A. H. Lea of Portland
might be awarded by being attached to
the state payroll.
Lea was one Of the original Witty

when the pressure of the campaign four
years ago became the heaviest Lea
came through right royalty with the
needed cash to put Withycombe cover

So Lea was entitled to something.

Returning, however, the temper of
the crowd changed, and as it rush
ed through the streets the ripping
off of signs and interruption of traf-
fic had an element of anger. At Elm
and Church streets a concrete mixer
and wheelbarrows were charged, and
the barrows were taken. This morn
ing there were benches and other
articles scattered about on sidewalks,
hanging on fences or thrown on the
steps of the country couTt house and
the library.
Mayor Fitzgerald, who was in his
city hall office, heard the disturb
ance, and with several citizens follow
ed the crowd to the Yale post office.
He gave the police orders to clear
the streets. The students called for
q speech, and the mayor began a re-
spouse, Gliding the men on their be-

ment from the crowd, during which,

sneered and insulted the mayor, who
ordered his arrest.
