TEACHERS NOT PAID
ENOUGH, SURVEY OF
SALARIES SHO WS

The QUESTIONABLE recently sent to
each teacher in the Salem public
schools h as revealed some very inter-
esting facts,
The lowest SALARY paid in Salem is
S7e5; the highest. excluding the super
intendent's, Is $1,000.
One-fourth of the teachers receive
less than $1o0 per month for nine
months. This means that many teach
ers now employed in the Salem schools
must either receive help from their
families or supplement their incomes
by some other work in the summer
or after school hours. Professional
upkeep for teachers is heavy. Even
teachers who have completed certain
courses must, to keep pace with condi-
tions, attend school during the sum-
mers. This demand in addition to the
great increase of living expenses makes
the teachers situation q really serious
one.
Outside Aid Needed.
Twenty-three teachers insthe schools
reported that last year they received
money aid from their families;. twenty
others indicated thatsthey received aid
in the form Of summer board thus
showing that almost SO per cent of the
Salem teachers receive support aside
from their salaries. The approximate
helR received by these forty-three
teachers was $7S7s. Thirty teachers
reported that they assist in the sup.

Trio Who Robbed CIarelnOnt
Tavern Guests And Killed
Burgess And Perringer
Plead Guilty To Crime.

Portland, Or, Nov. 27---David Smith
"Dutcf" Herman alias Walter Banas-
ter ana James Ogle the three con-
fessed participants in the Claremont
tavern robbery and murders of FRIDAY
night, pleaded guilty Wednesday after
noon before Presiding Judge Gatens of
the Multnomah county circuit court
and We're sentenced to life imprison-
ment in the Oregon state prison.
Sentence was pronounced upon Ogle
at o'clock following his plea of guilty
to two indictments charging him with
the murder of Jasper N. Burgess and
q. f. peringer, prominent eastern Ore
gonians. Banaster and Herman sprang
surprise at this time and instead of
pleading guilty. as was expected. an
nounced their determination to stand
trial.
Two Men Change Minds.
Pleas of mot gdilty'' were entered
and Judge Caters, set their trial for
rext Monday. Morris Goldstein md
Frank J. Streibig,a who had been ar-
pointed by the court to defend the ac-
cused. at this juncture asked to he re-
lievei from any further participation
IN the case. The court refused their
request ana ordered them 10 prepare
for trial
Two hours later both the prisoners
repented of their earlier decisions and
sent word to Judge Gatens that they
were willing to plead guilty and re-
ceive their sentence When the men
were brought before the court they re-
quested permission to make statements
before Judgment was passed. This was
acceded to bsa 'i's, court.
Smith spoke first and denied for hirn
self and Banaster any part in the ac-
tual shootin. HSiadmitted the rob
berry but said that ,Ogle was the one
who had fired the fatal shots He
said:
Says Ogle Is Guilty
II wish to make a statement before
pleading guilty and have 1t go into this
record that neither l or Herman had
anythingto do with the shooting bu,
realize that under the law we are JUS,
as guilty as If we had.
"Ogle, the man who pleaded guilty
here earlier this afternoon, shot those
men at the Claremont tavern, only he
is not man enough to admit 1t. Because
it Is by understanding that my mere
presence there makes me equally guilty
is the reason why I am willing to plead
guilty of murder at this time
Dutch" Herman endorsed wha
Smith had said but made a plea to the
court for leniency upon the grounds Of
his youth and previous good record Ht
said that he was In the basement wher
the shots were fired but that as far al
he knew Ogle had done the shooting
He said he was very sorry for the
crime.

Time TO
TAKE STAND
Against Bolshevism is the Opin-
ion of Washington. Hum
gary Mad at France for
OCCUPYING TERRITORY

Washington, March 26.-Reports
situation in Hungary led to an
opinion expressed yesterday by an
official of the State Department
that 1.-The time had come for the al
lied nations represented at Paris to
take a definite and firm stand
against Bolshevism. Little news
of an official nature was received at
the State Department during the
day but dispatches from Paris indi-
Gated grave apprehension was felt
there as we'll as in Washington over
the situation.
Representatives of the United
States in Vienna reported yester-
day the Food Administration had
one or two agents in Budapest and
it was stated there might be other
Americans there. These advices
said there was no ill-feeling toward
Americans or British in Budapest
but strong feeling of hostility was
being manifested against the
French. This, it is believed here,
is due to the occupation by French
troops of the neutral zones between
Czecho-Slovakia and Hungary and
Rumania and Hungary.
1t was said by officials if the Hun
garians actually nave declared war
upon the Entente powers, as was
threatened in State Department ad-
vices made public, it would be a
natural move for the Hungarians to
attempt to reach the Adriatic and
recover a portion of the Austrian
navy now in the hands of the Jugo-
Slavs. Hungarian leaders, it was
, said, undoubtedly would recognize
the advantages to be gained by
striking Immediately toward the
Adriatic before the authorities in
Paris had time to act.

WILL PROBABLY INVITE OTHER
COUNTIES.

AS stated in the Times yesterday
the conference between the County
Commissioners and Senator II. G.
Connor relative to the roads of the
county and eastern North Carolina
and the Highway systems of the
State and the laws pertaining thereto
was merely informal and no conclu-
sion was reached as to the best meth
DDS of handling the situation for the
purpose of connecting up with the
State and securing State and Federal
aid. It was brought out in the con-
ference, however. that the quicker
the county got to work the sooner
it would most likely secure State aid,
and it was also stated that it would
be necessary for the county to put
up one fourth of the cost of the road
in order to begin operations under
the act of the legislature.
1t is most likely that since what
ever road building In this county
will help the adjoining counties and
that Eastern Carolina needs good
roads to benefit it's commerce and
industry and link up its towns and
cities that the Commissioners Of Will
son county will request conference
of the other counties in order to see
if some unity of action may be
brought about.

BILLION DOLLARS
FOREIGN TRADE

Washington, March 26-The gov
ernments billion dollar fund for fl
nancing foreign trade soon will be
opened to American exporters
through loans from the war finance
corporation. Regulations now be-
ing prepared by the corporation to
cover advances will provide for the
lending of sums up to $50, 100000
to any individual firm, corporation
or export association, probably at
"a per cent, for a maximum of
five years, on adequate collateral.
The nature of this collateral Sc
curity to be accepted remains to he
worked out by the corporation, but
indications are that paper repre-
senting merchandise engaged in the
export process will be acceptable.
Collateral to the extent of 125 per
cent or the loan probably will be re-
quired, and loans will be made Ell
ther direct to the exporters or
through banks.
Scores of informal applications
for information or for advances has
been received from individual ex-
porting firms or representatives OF
the export associations being organ
led under the Webb act, the war fl
nance corporation reported yester-
day. Preparations for making the
loans will be rushed, in spite of the
enormous burden thrown on the
corporation by the necessity of max.
ing large advances to railroad com
panies.

I'VE are all glad that the war is

power of war and control the things
with which war must be made, the

there is no telling when it will

Every day we put off the sign
ing of the treaty of peace widens
the chasm, which the world may be
unable to bridge successfully. When
we first signed the armistice the
world was war-weary and the world
was ready for us to dictate the
terms of peace and end the tragedy,
but every hours delay between the
armistice and peace brings us fur
ther away from that psychological
