WHY a Federation of Clubs

Many persons and organiza-
tions are continually, In behalf
of the interests they represent,
seeking audience with the var
ious clubs of the city. In order
that much time may be saved,
these clubs have formed the FEEDER
alton Of Clubs, before which all
these interests have their initial
hearing. If any matter is endorc
ed and handed down, each club,
by virtue Of It's membership in
the federation, is under obliga-
ton to give the matter its care
full consideration even though it
does not see fit to endorse 1t.
At the last meeting of the Fed
eration, unanimous endorsement
was given the matter Of Russian
relief. The chairman of the even
ing made request Of the represen-
tatives present that the chairman
of the local committee be invited
to present the matter in person
to each of the clubs. Although
many OF the clubs have not yet
responded to this request, we
trust that according to the de-
cision of the Federation, all have
had or very soon will have, some
presentation Of the matter.
There are many secret and
benevolent societies in Salem and
the vicinity which are not rep
resented in the Federation. If you
are a member of any Of these
will you help us to secure a hear
ing before your society very soon ?
Please remember we are not
soliciting funds from any society
or club but we are only inform
ing the people Of the condition
of thirty millions who are held in
the grip Of mighty famine such
as occurred in the same district
some thirty-three years ago when
the Russian government spent
seventy-nine millions Of dollars
for their relief. At the present
no European government would
be able to relieve such a condi-
ton within it's own territory.

see Mr.. So and Mr.. Doe mentioned
for this or that place, and with all
the shots taken at different pros
poets for our next mayor, 1t seems
strange that no one openly so far
as l know has suggested a name
that sounds good to me in the
person of our present recorder
Earl Race. He has an inside line
on city affairs second to none,
knows our need, knows the temper
Of our people, has constructive
ability, In disposition Mr.. Race is
affable, courteous, accommodate
Ing; and is always ready to give
attention to any matter a citizen
may care to present. His advice
is good because his conclusions are
based on a knowledge gained
through years of city service and
when 1t is all said l fully believe
Mr.. Race is in every way qualified
to be a good and a worthy mayor,

To the Editor-ls the Cregor

when taxes will eat him up IN.

Does the, tax payer know thet
half OF our tax money ia snant

sity educators want more of tba

call higher education; a better
name for 1t would be higher hume
Of course every tax payer wants

ly educated that they will never
have to soil their hands with
manual labor, but wants them all
fltted for high salaried positions
WIN the state or big corpora
tions.
We can over do education like
everything else, too much ednca-
tion is likely to unfit some neo-
pie for the humber callings of
everyday life, because we have
no places for their high standard
of education.
Our tax payers have been SO Law
ish with their money, that they
have established law depart-
ment at the State University to
turn out more lawyers, Just as
though we did not have LAWYERS
enough to do the business of the
country. Now the most that can
be said for lawyers is, that they
belong to the drone class and the
fewer we have of them the, bet
ter for the country.
Since we are spending about
SO per cent of our tax money for
education, and since the tax pay
ers are getting uneasy about the
high taxes and are now willing
to make a start to reduce taxes !:
it would not be amlss to make
a few suggestions how it can be
done. 1t is my belief that the
State University and the Agricul-
tural College are consuming too
much of the taxpayers money.
Let the salary of Mr.. Campbell
and Mr.. Kerr be reduced SO per
cent and all other employees from
20 to 35 per cent. Both Mr..
Campbell and Mr.. Kerr have
been in office a long time and
have made free use of the tax
peyers' money and both have per-
haps become somewhat extrava-
giant in spending the peoples
money, because it was so easy to
get all they wanted. If the en-
ployes of our two big state insti-
tutions of learning are not will
ing to accept a cut in salaries,
they can resign and their resig-
nations ought to be accepted, be-
cause 1T will not be a difficult
matter to get others equally as
competent to take their places at
reduced salaries, and we would
not have to go out of our own
state to supply the demand to run
any of our institutions.
Capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1919-1980, 1922-03-17


we we have too many expensive
commissions and boards that are
eatlng up the taxpayers money
Let tne salaries of these boards
oe reduced, or be entirely abol-
,snea, The higher the salary of
noafd and commission members
tne harder 1t will be to pet rid
OF them, because these members
VIII hang on to their Jobs IL the
eaiary is good and boost for their
commission and boards.
Ihere is still another wav NJ
reducing taxes. And that is bv
repeaiing the Mothers Pension
plll or act. Let every county do
its own pensioning, counties can
10 1t with less expense to the tax
payer than the state, everybody
knows that the state has no mon
ey and that 1t gets it's money
from the counties and then pays
1t to pensioners in the state paup
er warrants. Some of our laws
are used as vote getters and | be-
leVe that the Mothers Pension
law is one of them and it is also
used by lawyers to secure pen
Sions for widows.
What the state needs is a law
to supercede the Mothers Pen
sion law that will be equally as
effective If not more SO, This
law would compel every man who
marries between the age of 10
and As years to take out an in
surance policy in some reliable
company to the amount Of $250O
in favor of his wife. And any
man who could not pass the in
suurance test should not be allow
ed to marry. To many irrespon-
sible men are getting married,
who know very we'll If they
should die and leave big fam
lily in destitude circumstances, or
run off and desert their families
that the state will take care of
them by putting them on the
state pauper pension roll. A law
like this could be easily enforced
by the counties and could not be
used as a vote maker by office
seeking politicians.
Sooner or later Mr.. Oregon tax
payer will find out that the SOL
diers' bonus law he voted for, will
be a heavier burden on his back
than he calculated on. The bon
us question is strictly speaking, a
proposition for the federal gov
ernment to solve and the states
ought to keep out OF 1t. The men
who are now getting state bonus
money will also get a govern
ment bonus, as, soon as congress
passe the bonus law, which will
be soon, because our federal law
makers will need that law for
making votes, at least they think
so, but might they be mistaken?

MIR. GILPIN'S ENiBARRASSNrIINT

The experience Of Mr.. Charles S.
Nfilpin on the Pennsylvania Railroad
"Wednesday, March Is while enroute
to Winchester, Va. must have been
embarrassing indeed. lilo had en-
tered the State in a passenger car
from State that showed no racial
discrimination. Seated with the white
actors in the party, he was told to
get up and go to the other end Of
the train. He did SO under protest
and at the next station left the train
and took automobiles for Winches-
ter.
AS we understand 1t, had he been
located in the section Of the train
at the outset, this embarrassment
would not have taken place, but the
company could not do this in n State
which had no Jim Grow" laws. We
have always held that train moving
from one State to another was not
subject to. the local regulations Of
the States, but rather to tho rules
and regulations governing interstate
travel. If this will be utilized as q
case to be brought before the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, it may
be that these embarrassing conditions
will not obtain.
The train conductor was left with
no alternative in the matter, al
though, he may have been the victim
Of much criticism and some abuse.
The trouble is with the class Of
people, now in control at Richmond
and Washington. If Mr.. Gilpin had
borrowed the uniform from tho por-
ter, it might have been that he could
have remained in any part Of the
train. he saw Mt. But riding as "a
man Of MEANS" the star in cele-
brated play, he must be made to feel
the full force and effect Of the Vir-I
ginfa Jim Crow" car law.
