Municipal Landing
Field Adv0cated
For City By Pilot

4 municipal landing field for air
planes. such as is planned in Eugene
and other cities in the state, was urged
by J. d. Hill. Of the Oregon. Washing
ton Il Idaho Airplane company OF
Portland, in brief talk before the
business mems luncheon in the Com
mercial club Monday noon. Mr.. Hill,
who piloted an Orlole to Salem Mon
day morning. told of the success of the
bonding measure for a $4,000 appro-
priation at Eugene for a field, and ex-
pressed the hope that immediate steps
be taken here to provide a suitable
field.
"A few months ago." Mr.. Hill said,
lit was felt that aviation was the com
ing thing. But I want to tell you now,
that it isn't the coming
thing; for it is already here. And we
must take steps to meet the occasion.
There is no doubt in my mind that air
plane transportation in a short time
will rank with that Of steamship and
rail, because there is lots of room up
here" and he laughed.
The landing field southeast of the
city is "a good field" Mr.. Hill said,
only that 1t should be rolled and made
more even. All approaches are satis-
factory and the field is Of the proper
jize.

Koser To Drop
Deputy Title
By Agreement

Sam A. Kozer, deputy secretary Of
state for the past eight years, is ex-
pected to drop the deputy from his
title and become secretary OF state Of
Oregon on June 1, under the agree
ment contained In a statement issued
by Governor Olcott last January to
the effect that he would resign the
secretaryship himself and appoint as
his successor the republican nominee
for the office.
Although Governor Olcott has stat
ed heretofore that he probably would
await the official canvass of the prim-
ary vote before taking any action,
kozer's enormous lead over all other
candidates for the office and the fact
that his nomination is conceded with
out question, It is believed, will prompt
the governor to take the action neces-
sary to change In the secretaryship
portfolio immediately upon his re-
turn from stockton, Cal. for which
place he was bound today in an air
plane flight from Blaine, Wash.
A well founded rumor about the
capital Is that John W. Cochran
Portland newspaperman and chief
clerk of the state senate for several
sessions, will become deputy secretary|
of state upon kozer's assumption OF
the secretaryship. Cochran Is secre-
tary of the state republican central
committee,

Great System ReVeessd
Assistant District Attorney Doolins
of New York, who has been promi-
nent in the investigation Of the Arm

from October 1918, there had beeS
more than see bond robberies ranging
from $500 to sI7S.OOO and that most
Of them were "office" jobs, that is,
done by employees of banks and broS-

ifically charged with receiving $42,OOO

50, 500 are offered, had received from
them and disposed of more than $2,-
500 900 worth of bonds and other ne
gotiables.
Shortly after Arnstein's flight last
ebruary, hearings were held in the fed

aljudged an involuntary bankrupt. 1t
was there charged that his assets con-

A few weeks later, a New York law
yer, who said he was counsel for the
fugitive, reported he had met Arnstein
in Cleveland and that he had told him
he was innocent" of the bond theft
charges and would surrender If bail
was fixed at $S5,OOO He said Arnstein
had rheumatism and feared imprison-
ment in a cold damp cell in the Tombs
if more than this amount of bail were
demanded. He said Arnstein had told
him he had won $4,000 in a crap
game in Cleveland and lost $4,000 the
next night in the same place.

ing on for months in New York, took

Senators Defeat
Visitors; Slump
In First Total

4 more than average crowd at the
Oxford grounds witnessed a worth
while game Sunday afternoon between
McMinnville and the Salem Senator's.
Despite the. fact that McAIinnville slip
ped on banana peel in the first in
ming and allowed Salem six runs; the
game settled down to a contest in
which Salem secured only one addi-
tional item.
The 10 score against MeMinnville
speaks well for Coles pitching, the Wis
itors only landing on Salem hurler for
three hits from a lineup of some
mighty good willow swingers. Except
for Browne, who secured pass in the
fifth inning, Cole allowed no favors,
striking out 10 batsmen.
HAYES was in the limeiight with a
two-bagger and a triple-sacker. Mn
ler's home run in the first inning,
brought in three men and made Mike
the hero of the day, his right field
drive making a nifty arc over Hartman
Bros. sign.
Other members of the local club
worked in way to make the fans be-
lieve that Rupert or Moosejaw would
have harder shedding were they to re-
turn. Fred Garner was a new face in
the family group, securing one OF the
hits from Brown and showing possi-
bilities at third base after he gets bet
ter acquainted with local grounds and
players. AS usual, Billy Stepp filled
in the dull moments. If AL Barnes

being on his slate.

lief from his knowledge of their condi- tion that there wasn't one farmer in the whole town who was making $500 a year over and above his farm expenses His farm expenses, mind you not his living expenses Not one of them, he asserted, got as much as $500 a year off his farm to support himself and family, The above quoted figures of the Washington experts seem to confirm this neighbours judgment
 How we denounce people for leav- ing the farms where 14 and 16-hour days labor bring in less than $500 year cash
 income, when the walking delegate of one miners union reported recently that the average wage of miners in his district was ''only" s1,2S1 a year, and that they must have an increase or else a reduction in their eight-nours day?
 Human nature is such that it wants the most dollars possible for the least possi- ble work. We're all tarred with that stick.
 It's not time for denouncinE those who desert the farms for the shops. They GC where they can get. or think they can get, the most pay for the least work Rather, it's time for denouncing the system-or lack of system-which has long made and is still making farming the poorest paid industry in the land For that is the plain truth about the | matter. The farming millions. upon whose capacity for production depends every last detail of every otkcr industry in the world, are paid less for their all- important work than any other class of useful or useless workmen. The farms are being deserted simply because they do not pay. If they did. the rush would be towards themt not from them.
 City industries are the Mecca of work men because they do pay. If they didn t. they'd soon close their doors, and the tide would ebb away from them. But how long are they going to pay if farms decrease in area of cultivation. and farm labor becomes unattainable, and farm production drops away? How long will the arms and hands continue to work when the stomach is empty? This is the biggest problem before the country today: bigger than any league of 1 nations, or any question of tariff, or any poppycock of politics.
 And yet, from all appearances.' there aren't dozen men in all the governing bodies of all the administrations in the land who know or care one split straw about it!

THE BIGGEST PROBLEM BEFORE THE COUNTRY
 TODAY

New Jersey, Pennsylvania ands other pop
 llous states show similar decreases in
 the number of farms and similar in-
 creases in the population of cities! Even
 in the so-called 'corn-belt'' states there
 has been slight decrease in the number
 of farms.
 While the population of the entire country, cities and all, increased about U per cent. from 1910 to 1920, the num- bers of farms in the whole country in- creased but l 1-2 per cent. The average increase ill the number of farms for the whole country had been about 30 per cent for each ten-year period during the ore ceding half century. @.a
 Do you begin to appreciate ith4. 4.impor- .ance of the change? 1 lation of the country live in cities having riure than 2.5on population. Less than
 half live in the country.
 Of that minority only about thirty millions live on farms. The rest live in villages or are engaged in other than farm labor And, of course. none rof the majority who inhabit cities are farmers The burden of their maintenance and sup port. rests on the farms, but they them selves touch it not with one of their 1 fingers.
