The Adair County news., 1919-08-27

We have been informed that a
number of Adair county teachers,
who began their schools several
weeks ago, have rendered their
designations, and will seek en-
ployment in other States. The
low salary paid teachers in Ken
tuoky for rural instructions will
not sustain them. Every quail
fed teacher should be paid a liv-
ing salary for his or her services.
The amount that is row being
paid is the law of the State, and
while it is small the teachers
who are resigning should con-
slider the contract they signed
before taking action. A con-
tract is an obligation entered in
to by the trustees and the teach
er, and it would be far better
for those who have begun their
schools to accept the situation
than to violate their obligations.
We do not not take the position
that the teacher is getting pay
sufficient, but we do believe that
when a contract is signed, il
should be carried out. A teach
er who stands upon his bond anC
declares himself no changeling,
will, eventually go to the front
Since writing the above we learr
that some teachers in the county
signed conditionally, and if tina
is a fact, this article will not ap
ply to them.

OREGON WOMAN IS
PRIZE CORRESPONDENT

PENDLETON. Feb. 21.-During
the war Mrs. c. F. Daniels wife of a
well known Pendleton farmer, car
ried on a correspondence with 9S diff
ferent Umatilia county boys in the
service. In doing this she has written
more than 1900 letters to them. Dur
ing the last IL months she has writ
ten an even thousand letters and sent
S9S packages. This is probably the
record for correspondence with SOL
dier and sailor boys.
Mrs. Daniels was prompted to take
up this form of service by a letter
from her own son. who Is in the serv-
ice, and had written Of how some Of
the boys had no one to write them
and of how letters were appreciated.
Just now Mrs. Daniels is worried
over the disappearance of Raymond
Ross of Gibbon and Pilot Rock, who
1t is unofficially reported has been
wounded. He was In Co. G, 364 in
fantry, and her last letter to that ad-
dress has been returned.

TAFT'S VIEWS HAVE
WEIGHT AT CAPITAL

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Feb. 21.--
Ex.President Taft's Endorsement of
the League OF Nations constitution
was regarded here as likely to have
considerable weight with Republican
senators. The main point of differ
ence here was as to whether the COW
enant will cause surrender OF some
of Americas sovereignty. While
some contended that the league con-
stitution tends TO infringe upon the
national constitution. there was little
disposition to critlcise openly.
The presidents appeal to curb dis
cussion until he arrives and confides
the inwardness of the document to
foreign relations committee members
served to stop much OF the talk.

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY II. 1910
THE HERD LAW

klamath County does not want any
herd law. Such a measure would be
as ruinous to the cattle industry as
the Merryman bill to the sheep in
dustry. and the Herald will leave
nothing undone to defeat such a
bill, should the legislature undertake
to foist such an iniquitous law upon
the people of this state Millions of
dollars are at stake in Klamath coun-
ty when such bill is consirered
Under the terms of any such law it
would drive practically every cattle
man out of business and IL 1t is the
Intention of anyone interest, sheep
or otherwise, to undertake to put
such a bill into effect, then We are
as much opposed to that interest as
we have been opposed to the herd
law or the Merryman bill. The Her
aid believes the day of retaliation -
passed. This is time when there
must be no revenge 1t calls for
clear-headed, cool. calculating busi-
ness Judgment and consideration,
and anyone who advances any other
policy is an enemy to all of the in
terests concerned and should not be
listened to- This is not time for
a gitators nor hot heads to take the
floor and they must not be permitted
to do so.
Judge Baldwin offers a construc.
tive suggestion-a get-together pol
icy His suggestion should be needed.
He is on the ground and In close
touch with the sentiment among the
legislators, a sentiment that often
does not make its appearance on the
surface until it is too late to direct
it into the proper channels. He says
there is danger of a herd law, and
those who &now him, sey he would
not express such warning IL there
is not imminent danger of such
law. That being the case, it would
be wise for. the local stockmeH to
get together, appoint committees and
settle their differences among them
selves. Let them advise the repre-
sentatives in Salem to drop all legis-
lation as it affects Klamath county.
Drop the proposed bill to refer the
question to the people of this county
for vote. This is very unsatisfac-
tory way to dispose of it. 1t is
fraught with too much danger. 10
cannot possibly be settled in this
manner satisfactorily to both sides. 1t
The evening herald. (Klamath Falls, Or.) 1906-1942, 1919-02-21

can better be settled between the con-
fiicting interests themselves, The
statement has been made that no
agreement can be reached that can
be enforced. Yes. there can be. There
are two methods---the banks aud the
government. The banks hold the
purse strings. The stockman who
would violate an agreement would be
in a position where he could not get
a dollar to carry on his operations
unless the banks said so. Reach an
agreement and let the banks be the
trustees for the enforcement of It,
The other. and by far the less salts
factory. as we'll as the most danger
Gus. would be the throwing Of all Of
the grazing land into government
reserve. This would mean more gov.
ernment men and government regul-
alton and much as We despise both.
We would willingly bow to them II
the stockmen were satisfied.
Such a program could be arranged
as TO settle for all time the range
question. The sheep industry would
be placed on a permanent basis and
those engaged In it could splan for
the future accordingly. The cattle
men would know just what they
could expect, and both guard the
range against outside interference.
Too often men of the strong charac-
ters TO be found among stockmen
would rather fight and lose than to
show indications Of bending. but It
is the big man who can rise to the
occasion and meet his opponent half
way, and that is what the Herald
hopes both sides will do in this in
stance. This Il county row. Let us
settle It at home. Don't endanger
the stock interests Of the state and
county by throwing fire brand into
the powder barrel. II there is any
thing the Herald can do to aid in a
solution of the question it stands
ready to do. and 1t believes thai the
stockmen on both sides are no less
des:rous OF promoting the interests
OF the county.
