HIGHER PAY FOR
SCHOOL SIAFFS

san FRANCISCO. Oct Tn a
statement made in this city today,
Herbert Hoover. who returned re-
Gently from an extensive tour of
Europe, studying conditions abroad,
declares that the American nation
is face to face with critical stu
alton, involving dangerous radical
ism from the centers of higher edu-
cation, resulting from inadequate
salaries.
The development of radicalism IN
Europe, he says. is beyond anything
of the kind in history. and the wave
is now sweeping our way. the inf1u-
ence being already noticeable.
The only way to fight radicalism
in the colleges, he points out, is to
pay better salaries to those engaged
in teaching.

SPORT NOTES
MAY BOX IN EAST
Tex Richard Says He Likes New
York for Fight.
But There Are Many Places
Plenty of Time.

New York, March 12.-'Better ten
rounds in New, York than twenty
rounds in Reno
This, in substance, is the slogan of
Tex Richard. promoter of the willard
Dempsey championship contest. who
has just breezed into New York fresh
from the oil fields Of the southwest.
Richard would not admit that the west
is definitely out of the running for the
combat, but he did confess a strong
liking for the east.
I'm not jumping at place to hold
the fight" Richard told flock of
newspaper men who bombarded him
at the Biltmore. but I'll be honest
about this thing. I'd rather promote
ten or twelve rounds in the east than
to go in for the twenty-round stuff in
the west But there are a bunch of
places; and there is plenty of time"
But how are you betting?" Tex
was asked.
He laughed.
Dempsey Even Money.
That's a puzzler," he said. "rll
admit I haven't figured it out" But.
he added significantly, I'll predict
that Dempsey will go into the ring on
July an even money choice. Think
not? Well, 1 know that's something
pionship contest, but they're mighty
strong for Jack out there in the
sticks
Here the willy promoter opened up
bit and contributed this bit of infor-
!! nation:
I'D rather bet my money that the
fight won't go ten rounds than to
wager that it would go over ten."
''Why?'' he was asked. ''Dempsey's
speed" he said, laconically. That's
what makes me feel that way"
Richards statement coupled with
the fact that the New York boxing bill
comes up for hearing in Albany today,
leads boxing followers here to believe
| that Tex has had New York very close
to his heart all along. His timely ar
rival here, on the very eve of the hear
ing, his frank admission that he has
a laundering for the eastern battle
subject when flattering offers from
the west were suggested, confirms the
belief in the minds of many that the
big fracas will be staged here if Rick
ard has his choice The promoter is
| watching the actions of the Illinois
legislature and the New York legisla-
ture with keen interest.
But Richard has ample roaming
ground If tn 'se strongholds fail him.
Haven't I got Arizona. Massachu-
Louisiana, Rhode Island. Oklahoma.
Mississippi and Texas to lean on?" he
asked with his quiet grin. And be-
! sides, we have Hamilton, Quebec and
Halifax. So why jump at a place? ''
$4,000 for Semi-final.
| 81 Richard said he would hang up a
purse of 10000 for the semi-windup
he is willing that the largest man
in the navy and the heaviest man in
the army shall contest for this plum.
But viii tolerate no professionals.
Just two big, green, heavyweights."
Is the way Tex put it. Disposing of
an ideal offer from AL Hager of $780,
900 for the sale of fight. Richard said
the big bout is not on the market in
1 quite this way.

side world in answer to the claims
that the bill would keep Kansas money
in Kansas.
Snyder made some of the most tell
ing onslaughts against the measure.
He declared that the float evil could
be easily cured by little cooperation
between Kansas banking associations
and outside bankers. and then explod-
ed a bombshell by saying the proposed
Kansas measure was similar to bank
ing measures adopted by the Nonpar-
tisan league in North Dakota. Ans
paugh cited the banking system of
France to support the measure, but
Snyder came back with the argument
that foreign banking systems are not
practical in this country.
Snyder for the first time took up
the peoples side of the ease He
said he hadn't heard anything about
the people taking an interest in the
measure; that so far it was a free-for-
all between bankers. and the ma jority
of state bankers and all national bank
ers were against the passage of the
scheme

n |. JOHNSON FOR SENATE
Norton County Representative Will
Run for Upper House, Is Belief.

Representative N. L. johnson of
Norton county will be the Republican
Fortieth district next year, according
to legislative dope. Johnson. who is
regarded as one of the strongest Re-
publicans in the northwest country,
will probably be nominated without
opposition. The Norton representa-
tive has told his friends he would be a
candidate if the voters of the district
wanted him to run.
Just now johnson is concluding his
second term in the house. Two years
ago he aSsayed about five minutes a
month when the records for debate
were compiled. His wisdom and judg-
ment in refusing to clutter the rec
ords with oratory gave him a high
standing among the wise men of the
house. This year Johnson sat
thru the oratorical deluges and voted
for the things that looked good for
Norton county. While other members
have been trying to crack the plaster
ing Johnson has been winning support
for his district and the state tuber-
culosis sanatorium.
Out in Norton he can have almost
anything in the town or county. He
has served four or five terms as mayor
and will probably be reelected before
he can get home to stop it. Last year
he was renominated and reelected
and no one had the temerity or reck-
lesSness to think of running against
him. If Kansas were to put 125 john
sons in the legislature, the work of
the session would be disposed of in
about twenty days and introduction of
foolish bills and verbal cannonading
would be reduced to a minimum.
1t is probable johnson will next
year oppose Senator w. c. Whitney,
Democrat, who won over the late Sem
ator 1. E. Mahin in a contest. Mahin
lived in Smith county. Whitney is
from Phillips. Now it is Norton's
time and johnson looks like the selec-
ton from the district.
