FARM AGENT
BILL KILLED IN
HOUSE 4S TO 80
Motion to Strike Out Enact
ing Clause of Senate Meas
ure Carries.
OTHER MEASURES PASS

The House today refused to pass the
Cleveland Senate bill which would virtu-
ally have inundated every county in the
State to appoint a county agricultural
agent at not less than a minimum salary
of $500. The bill was killed when the
House voted, 4S to SO, to support mo-
ton offered by Representative Youse OF
Huntington County to strike out the en-
acting clause.
The measure would have made $1,000
the minimum, instead of the maximum
salary of the agents, and would have re-
quired counties, on petition of twenty
persons, to appoint an agent Represen-
tative Jinnett attempted to save the bill
by moving to table Youse's motion, but
was voted down.
The House passed the Rats admins
tration absent voters amendments. 1t
requires that persons to vote under the
provisions of the law must actually be
absent from the county in which they
reside on election day or must actually
be confined to their home by Illness or
lnfrmities. 1t is designed to correct al
legged abuses of the absent voters law
which took place in the last election.

Body DisapprOves
of Alien Propaganda

The national executive committee Of
the American Gymnastic Union, at its
regular meeting on March 5, 1921, adopt
ed the following resolution:
Referring TO the mass meeting held
Feb. %, in Madison Square Garden. New
York. under the leadership of Edmund
Won Mach and George Sylvester Viereck
We herewith express our disapprOval Of
meetings that can be construed as alien
propaganda or meetings tending toward
separatism. just as We disapprove of all
agitation tending to incite racial preJu-
dice among the American people instead
of promoting good Will national har-
mony and unity.
AS citizens Of this Nation we voice
our confidence in the ability and will
all the problems arising out of the late
war and to remedy, If possible, and in
justice, and certainly to denounce any
acts of inhuma nifty, If committed. against
the German people or the people Of any
other country.
We reassert an abiding faith in the
ultimate sense of justice of the America n
people as a whole and believe this will
at all times be- reflected in the Official
acts of our Government.
We believe that mass meetings held
by racial groups for political effect are
at best i'll advised and we are unwill-
ing to have our names or that Of our or
RaniDation linked With any movement
giving the slightest warrant for certain
men to claim, as they have done in the
past, that they voice the opinions, or.
more particularly, can deliver the vote
Of six million citizens of German extrac-
tion. We have heretofore (by resolution
Of May g. 1915 taken no stand against
POLITICAL alignment along racial lines. We
kSzist upon unhyphenated citizenship.
The society is the oldest In the country,
founded seventy odd years ago and has
more than two hundred organizations in
the United States.

opened to provide a substitute Outlet<for

the Shelby street opening.
The letter was as follows: --

apolis News under the auspices of the
East Washington Merchants Association
states that plans are being made whereby
Shelby street instead of being carried
through as plated will be the subject
of such action as to make dangerous
