Inc Salem Ministerial Union appointed committee Of it
members to investigate news stories printed in the Capita
journal concerning the focbe separation of children
tner parents and the farming of them out as hospta
drudges by County Judge Bushey The report of the
mtee adopted by the Ministerial Union without further
investigation and printed in Mondays issue Its pre-
amble is follows:
beg to report that both individually and colec
lively they investigated Perry
Judge Buey and the hospital
ana that they find these criticisms absolutely without foundation
How thorough this investigation can be srmsed from
the fact that of the Investigators visited the parents
home and none of them knows it's location
None Of the investigators interviewed the parents of the
children took any steps to ascertain their ability take
care of their offspring.
None Of the Investigators interviewed any Of the imed
ate neghbors of the family made any effort to get at the
facts by personal inquiry from them
None Of the investigators called upon the Capital Journal
TO submit proof of its charges attempted learn
IN Its possession though they could have been the
asking
How thorough impartial is an investigation which is con-
fined to listening to side of case and refuses square
deal to the other?
The committee report indicates that it based upon
hearsay and unsubsanated gossip inspired by interested
parties The haste adoption was probably due to desire
to white-wash officiadom
To correct any misunderstanding among the ministers or
the public the Capital Journal wishes to make plain it's
position: it is acuaded by anus against Judge Bushey
or the Mennonite hospital It's motives are simply to re-
medy what it believes is official abuse and to correct in

Hens On Polk
Farm Average
2OOEggs a Year

Dallas, Or, Nov. Probably
no branch of the farm In Polk
county has developed with more
rapidity than the poultry indus
try, and in some localities where
the trap nest system Is pursued re-
markable records are shown.
B. 7. Merrill, owner of what is
known as the Shadows Poultry 6
Berry Farm southeast of Mon
mouth, has established a record
with his pen 6f White Leghorns
that is worthy of more than pass
ing comment. His breeding flock
consisting of 174 hens have made
a record average of 200 eggs. This,
he says, does not include ulidenti-
fled eggs, and persuming that
some of these should be recorded
and credited to the hens on test,
the average would go considerably
above what the records really
show. The yearly average each
for pen of ninety hens is 222.
and his best laying hen is said to
have produced 251 eggs during the
aging year. At the present mar
Ket price of eggs this hen has
7ielded more than Sic so for the
rear. The record was made in
'16 days. Out of pen of 3s3 birds

Iucing an average of more than

TAX LEVY
FOR FAIR
OPPOSED

| Declaring its opposition to th'
| imposition of any further tal
levies on the farmers Of Oregon
whom they declare are now
taxed to the limit" :" the Marion
County Pomona grange. in session
at Stayton adopted resolution
declaring its unalterable opposi-
tion to the proposed tax levy OF
one mill to aid in financing the
1926 World Fair in Portland.
The text of the resolution adopt
ed is as follows:
Whereas: a movement has
been inaugurated. and an organ
ization is being perfected to hold
a Worlds Fair at Portland in
1925 and the Governor Of Oregon
is being importuned to call a
special session of the legislature
to submit to the voters of Oregon
a measure for one mill tax for
the years of 1922-23-24 to raise
three million dollars to partly
finance said Fair, and
Whereas: said three million
dollars is only about one-half the
amount the proposed Fair would
cost the tax payers of the state of
Oregon, and
Whereas: the farmers of this
State are now taxed to the full
limit, and beyond their ability tol
pay, many Of the most fertile
farms in the best farming sections
paying their full rental
value in taxes, and =
Whereas: any additional tax
levy at this time can only serve to
aggravate an already grevious,
burden placed upon the farmer,
and ultimately lead to the con-
'fscation of farm homes and the
Generalization and final destruc-
ion of the most fundamental and
essential of all productive indus
ries, and
Whereas: 1t is the open and
plan of the promoters
i this proposed Fair to bring
'eople here from other states to
houlder our tax burdens upon, to
induce outsiders to invest their
money in real property that we
10 longer find it possible to pay
he taxes on ourselves and
Whereas: such a policy, at any :.
Ime financially unsound and
thically indefensible, is at the
resent time little less confisca-
'ry to the legitimate business
lterest of the state, therefore be 3

The Polish Committee. in its mes

In their actions.
The German industrial leaders, who
have been negotiating with Korfanty
concerning his ultimatum directing
them to sign specially issued Polish
Silesian paper currency, have declined
to support the plan. They have broken
off the negotiations, believing the Poles
will not destroy German property and
that collapse or the insurrection is
approaching.

relieve the money stringcncy brought
on by the refusal of the German

workers might destroy German property
n the area or that encouragement might
be given TO what appeared to be the
growing tendency toward Bolshevisnn
TO the point where industries would be

Committees OF the German property
owners who were in conference win
Korfanty and with German capitalists
in Breslau. were OF the opinion that the
outcome OF the insurgene movement de-
pends upon the German reply. as the
financial ana commercial situation is be-
coming Increasingly serious. The output
OF the mines Is less than 40 per cent
OF the normal. the operation OF the rail-
roads is much restricted, relations with
Czecho-Slovallia have been cut or and
commerce with Poland Is negligible.
Food supplies are available in suf-
ficient quantity to last from two to
three weeks, after whicn, unless tho
frontier of the district controlled by
Korfanty is opened, the Germans and
many Poles believe that chaos will
cnsue.
