Take Action
On Credits

Resolutions affecting the trans.
fer OF students credits from one
higher institution OF learning to
another, were passed this morning
by the committee on higher edu-
cation of the State Teachers asso.
citation which held its morning ses-
sion at the Marion county court
house, meeting for lunch in the
Marion hotel this noon.
The resolution which the COM
mittee considered as its most I'M
portant action regarding the
transfer Of credit follows:
THAT 1t is the sense of this
committee that no degree granting
institution should give blanket
accrediting to candidates present
ing credits for advanced standing,
but instead should translate all
such credits into terms of its own
degree courses and appraise them
accordingly"
This means that should a stu
dent wish to change from one in
stitution to another, that the mum
ber Of hours to his credit from the
first institution will count only as
such work is accredited in the
school to which he transfers.
The committee also recommend
ed that psychological tests for elf
gibility Of students for entrance
into colleges and universities OF
the state be Investigated.
1t was further agreed that the
heads Of the different institutions
present at the meeting. investigate
the classification OF special cours-
es Of certain students as affecting
the standing OF the institution.
A review Of the standards rec
commended at the meeting held
last march showed that the rec
concentrations made by the com
mittee then had been followed out
by practically every institution OF
higher learning in the state.

COMPTON
EXPLAINS
FLAX FIX
Superintendent of Pen
itentiary Issues State
ment Relative To
Controversy

When the final delivery OF flax
was made by the farmers this
year. we had received from the
1921 crop 1,791,34O pounds of flax
at total cost of $37021.53," said
Warden L. H. Compton, of the
state penitentiary, today in MAX
ing statement covering the flax
situation Mr.. Compton, by virtue
of his office, also is superintendent
of the flax industry.
When contracts were made
last December between the board
Of control and the flax growers, a
careful estimate of the crop then
on hand, based on prevailing mar
ket prices, placed Its value at $751;
80, according to the budget state
ment submitted to the legislature
by the secretary of the board of
control Shortly after these con-
tracts were entered into, the flax
market slumped and continued to
do SO until the products in ques-
tion. have deprecated approx
mately so per cent of the above
value, according to the best offers
we have been able to get.
When the penitentiary was
faced with the obligation of re-
ceiving and working up the 1921
crop early last July. cash in the
flax fund was entirely depleted,
and, as a heroic measure, we were
compelled to draw upon the bet
terment fund for sufficient money
to pay current running expenses
from month to month. Not dol
lar was available to pay any share
OF the money due to the farmers
under the contract for the 1921.
flax. There will be no money
available for that purpose until
the present crop is worked up in
to products and disposed of, and
at present market prices it is en-
tirely problematical as to how
much will be available when all
OF the product is worked up and
sold. All indications point to the
fact that sometime within the next
year market conditions may return
more nearly to normal, basing our
Observations upon crop reports and
general situations throughout the
world. But, in the meantime. wel
are now compelled to sell, at low,
prices,a sufficient amount of the
product from time to time to con-

Without so doing the flax plant
would be compelled to completely
discontinue operations and the
final disposition of the present
crop be postponed indefinitely. To
sell, however. the output Of fiber

forbade railroad union labor
from striking without the
boards permission. and de-
clared that all strikers who
violated the order would be
classed as outlaws who had
voluntarily removed them

the transportation act.
The labor board issued its de-
cision in the hearing held Wednes-
day to determine the responsible
ity for the general strike threat
ened by the big four brotherhoods
and the switchmen's union.
The board made three findings.
These we're:
First-That all such disputes
must be referred to the board be-
fore any action is taken.
Second-That any Interruption
OF traffic would be a blow aimed
at the peace, prosperity and safety
OF the entire nation.
Third-That any union going

and the rights OF its members In
all existing contracts and lose all
benefits accorded by the transport
