the loss. At any rate this seems to be
what the aforesaid company is sticking

to take this matter up with the railway
officials in Portland next week.
Judge Campbell was called on to say
something regarding the road situation
in Morrow county and he endorsed az
far as he could all that Mr.. Barratt
had said. He also called up the matter
Of taking some action with reference to
the Heppner- TIardman post road. $780,
600 has been set aside to be used by the
county on this road, and it is hoped
that something can be done right away
to get action on this in cooperation
with the government and state. Judge
Campbell stated that Morrow county
was absolutely unable to get any CO.
operation from Grant county in order
to complete the road from the Morrow
county line on to Monument and as a
consequence there was a move on now
to divert this road up what is known
MS Chaplin canyon and on over to con-
meet with the John Day highway near
Spray. This plan is receiving consld-
Grafton, but the main thing now is to
put the Heppner- -Hardman road in
shape that it will accommodate the peo-
pie living tributary to It, The judge
is very desrous of getting the Hepp-
ner llardman road on the state high

COMMITTEE
Of FARM BUREAU MEETS
Plans TO Help With Drive for Aid of
Starving Chinese-Sets Wage Scale
for Coming SensOn.

There was meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the Farm Bureau at
the office of County Agent Hunt in
Heppner on last Saturday, at which
two matters at least of Importance were
taken up and disposed Of.
There was present at this meeting a
committee from the commercial club Of
Heppner to confer with the Farm Blu
reau committee with reference to Chi
nese relief, and the Bureau endorsed the
measure proposed by the club and a
resolution passed urging all farmers to
contribute as freely as possible, making
their donations in within the next ten
their donationsi NV ithin the next ten
days to their nearest shipping point
and left to the order of j. w. Frtsch.
chairman OF the Morrow county Chinese
relief committee. nhe plan proposed is
for the farmers to donate grain while
the towns will raise cash that is to be
spent with the farmers in purchasing
grain to be sent direct to China.
W. w Smead presented the claims of
the Morrow county fair and the Bureau
agreed to take care of one day of the
meeting as a special Farm Bureau Day.
They agreed also to assist in the gath
ering Of exhibits.
Farmers will be urged to purchase
their strychnine for preparing squirrel
poison from the Farm Bureau, where 1t
may be had at small cost, and each far
mer should endeavor to eradicate the
squirrels on his own premises so that it
will not be necessary to enforce the
compulsory rodent law this year.
Another mater Of Importance was the
setting Of the wage scale for the spring
months. The wages are based upon the
scale at which men might be brought
into the county and agrees practically
with the basis on which employment
agencies seem willing to send in men,
The scale is as follocs: Single men, $40
per month, board and room; married
men, S60 to $40 per month, house to be
furnished; tractor operator, 81 per day,
board and room; cook, $40 per month.

House Gels Bill Creating
Education Department
Measure Reported by Commit
tee Amended So as Not to In
terfere With State Systems

From The Trtbunc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Jan. Liberation Of
Department of Education to aid the
states in the promotion of education
Is authorized in the Smith -Towner bill
reported to the House to-day by the
committee on Education. Several
amendments were made to the meas
ure by the committee.
The first of the amendments offered
by Representative Horace Nj. Towner.
OF Iowa, author of the bill, adapts it
to the plan for general reorganization
of the executive departments by pro-
Vlding that the present Bureau of Edu-
cation be transferred to the Depart
ment of Education. This will harmon
ize the bill with the work of the Smoot-
Reavis Committee, it was said.
The other amendment offered by Mr..
Towner removes the possibility that
the bill will centralize control unduly
over public school systems in the vari-
GUS states by providing chat courses of
study, plans and methods for carrying
out the provisions of the act shall bs
determined by local educational au-
thorities. The Secretary of Education
is denied the right to exercise any au-
thority with respect to the administr
ton of schools within states. His duty
will be to see that appropriations shall
be expended for the purposes intended
by Congress.

Emergency Measure Hear
ings Concluded by Finance
Committee, With Many
Suggestions for Changes

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.---Hearings on
the Fordqey emergency tariff bill were
concluded by the Senate Finance Com
mittee tonight after another day of
appeals had opened up what supporters
OF the measure feared, and opponents
hoped, would be the means of adding
amendments to the bill as it passed the
House
Senators McCumber of North Da-
Nota and La Toilette of Wisconsin. Re-
publican members of the committee
and others expressed desire to state
their attitude at Thursdays session
on the subject matter of the tariff
Mr.. McCumbers statement will concern
the wheat duty, he said, and Mr.. La
foliette said his would be with respect
to cheese.
The close of the hearings brought in
dicatons OF concentration of effort
among opponents of the bill, and the
turbulence with which some of them
discussed the question was accepted to
mean they would 20 far in their fight
against passage OF the measure which
is designed as an aid to farmers.
Already dozen amendments arc
pending. Some of them, their sponsors
openly assert, are intended to be face
tious, but for the direct purpose of tax
ing up the time Of the Senate and. i
possible, of killing the bill. Senator's
Thomas, Of Colorado, and Harrison. OF
Mississippi, Democrats, said to-day
they would seek to have the soldier
bonus and immigration bills tackled
onto the tariff measure as amend
ments.
Another Senator, it was reported
was prepared to introduce an amend
mcnt which would include the bill to
recodify the nations laws and to de-
mand that this amendment be read. 1t
Is document of sufficient length to
keep reading clerks busy for two
weeks.
Efforts also are being made on be-
half of sugar growers, dairy interests
and other agricultural groups to have
