Planning
Another Measure

Officers of the Ku Klux Klan an
nounce that efforts will be made to
pass a compulsory public school act
in the State of Washington. Major
L. !. Powell "king kleagle of the
Pacific domain Of the K. X. K" is
now in Seattle preparing for the cam
paign, says the Walla Walla Union.
The act will be similar to the one
adopted in Oregon recently.
"The same law will be in effect
within II months in Washington,
Powell asserted, "and all parochial
and private schools will be forced
out of existence. Our first step
will be to stage big membership
drive in Seattle and other cities of the
state and get enough followers to in
sure adoption of the measure when
it comes up. As preliminary to
the campaign we plan to hold big
open-air demonstration somewhere
just outside the city, with all the
Klansmen in Western Washington
and a Ku Klux Klan special from
Portland in attendance.
Powell said that there are AZ
"klans" in that state--the largest in
Seattle, the next in Spokane, third in
Tacoma. But. he declared Washing
ton is far "behind" Oregon in this
"There are $4,000 klansmen in Port
land alone", he asserted, "and I don't
know how many more in the rest Of
the state".

HOLLOW HEART POTATOES

Having had two carloads of po-
tatoes shipped as U. s., 1. rejected
in California and sent back because
of "hollow heart" potato growers in
the Yakima district have asked for an
immediate official inspection to find
whether any Of the crop this year will
grade No 1. The shipper Of the re-
jected carloads did not know that the
spuds were defective, having judged
by external appearances, and it is
expected that other shipments sent
eastward may be turned for the same
reason. Hollow heart is not disease,
and about the only way this defect
can be discovered is by cutting the
potato open. A small percentage Of
hollow hearted spuds disqualifies a
shipment for the high grade.

GREAT NORTHERN
OPPOSES DIVORCE
Continuation Of Present ReIa-
tions With Burlington
Is Desired.

Washington, D. c. Ralph Budd,
president Of the Great Northern rail-
way. attacked the selection of the
Great Northern by the interstate COM
merce commission as the road to be
divorced from the Burlington in the
proposed consolidation of northwest
roads.
Budd argued In hearings before the
commission that IL 1t is felt that either
the Great Northern or the Northern
Pacific should be divorced, 1t should
be the latter. He testified that argu-
ments advanced for grouping the
Great Northern with the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul, opposing 1t to a
union of Northern Pacific and the
Burlington "for competitive reasons,
were erroneous"
Contentious that the Northern Pa
cific and the st. Paul were parallel
and competitive in Montana are un-
founded, he declared, because the re-
gion where the roads parallel is noun
famous and sparsely settled and little
traffic originates there.
President Byram OF the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul was one OF the
most agreeable witnesses to be i'm
agined. He said he came to help the
commission, not to hinder. He said
his company was favorable to the
commissions plan, which would COM
bine the st. Paul and Great Northern
and would just as readily accept
plan uniting his road with the North
ern Pacific.
He suggested, however, that IL any
further consultations we're contem-
plated his road would welcome COM
bination with the Union Pacific.

Pierce Will Have
No Pie Counters

Governor-Elect Pierce will not be
embarrassed by the Democratic party
chieftains in dispensing political pie
The Democratic party as an organ
ization wants only to assist Mr..
Pierce to make good every campaign
pledge. Democratic leaders Of Ore
gon are not demanding anything for
themselves.
These facts became known at La
Grande, after an all-afternoon con-
ference between the governor-elect
andaDr. J. w. Morrow, national Dem
ocratic committeeman, and DR.. C. J..
Smith, chairman of the state DEM
ocratic central committee. Confer
ences were held in between, dinners
and speeches delivered by the trio to
the homecoming day Of Blue Mount
ain grange. which is the home Of Mr..
Pierce's grange affiliation.
At the grange hall Mr.. Pierce re-
viewed the incidents Of the campaign
in considerable detail. He was re-
cieved with enthusiasm. DR.. Morrow
and DR.. Smith also spoke, both dwell
ing upon the thought that it is now
up to the voters of Oregon who want
tax reductions and economic reforms
to put their shoulders squarely behind
Mr.. Pierce.
Later in the day the three men were
closeted and Immediately afterwards
Mr.. Pierce went to Imbler for another
jollification and banquet and DR..
Smith left for New York and Wash,

consideration and that the executive

Voters Edict Is
NewberrY Doom

Resignation Of Truman H. New
berry as United Statel senator from
Michigan is put down here as direct
election, in which most of the SEN
ators who voted for him and ran for
reelection, were defeated.
The incoming senate contained a
majority committee to vote for GUST
ing of Newberry in event his case
should come up. In his own state
he was the issue, and the veteran SEN
ator Townsend who defended New
berry, was defeated. Woodbridge N.
Ferris, the successful Democratic
senatorial candidate, declared immed-
lately after the election that his VIC
tory was reputation of Newberry.
lie announced that the first thing lie
would do when he was sworn in
would be to reopen the Newberry
case.
The Newberry case was an issue in
every state where a senator who had
voted to seat him was up for re-
election. Most of these senators fell
by the wayside. Nine of these 13
senator's were beaten either in the
primaries or in the election. New of
Indiana and McCumber of North Da-
kota went down in the primaries.
Pro-Newberry senator's defeated in
the election were: Calder, New York;
Freylinghuysen, New Jersey; France,
Maryland; Dupont, Delaware;s Kel-
logg, Minnesota; Poindexter, Wash
ington, and Townsend, Michigan.
Newberry was the subject of the
most cutting attacks by Democratic
senators, both in the senatesor on the
stump. They loudly demanded that
resign. But the Michigan
senator kept a screen Of complete 81
lence over himself. He refused to
take the senate floor in his own de-
fense, except to read brief prepared
statement. After his svindication
numerous Republican senators who
were up for reelection andSfeared the
Newberry issue would prove embar-
RAISING to them, privately expressed
the hope that he would resign. But
he hung on and then came the casu-
atty lists after the election. It was
apparent to him that he would be
voted out of the senate should his
case be reopened.
"The country has gone to hell'', his
political manager said on reading the
complete returns.
Newberry still kept silent. Now his
resignation ends the senational case
and vacates one Michigan senatorial
seat.
Newbefry was elected to the senate
in November, 1918, defeating Henry
Ford the Democratic nominee. Short
" thereafter, indictments were hand
ed down by the federal grand jury at
Grand Rapids against Newberry and
more than 100 of his political aides on
charges Of conspiracy to violate the'I
election laws in the primary cam
pain preceding the general election.
This grew out of the alleged use of
arge sums of money by Newberry
workers in an effort to defeat Ford.
