that an unnecessary burden would

School Directors Urged To Line
Up Against Bill Now
In Senate

Okanogan county school directors
were urged in a statement issued
yesterday, by Mrs. Ella M. Watkins,
county school superintendent, to
lend their strength in the battle
being led by the washington Edu-
cation association against the state
senate bill providing for printing
school text books by the state print

An effort is being made by the
w. E. A. to show the necessity of
directors over the entire state pro-
testing the measure in letters to
their state legislators. School Of

Printing of text books by the
state would undoubtedly be cost
lier than the present system of pur-
chasing books from private pub
fishing companies, and would result
in an inferior and limited type of
books" Mrs. Watkins declared.
"One of the most important rea-
sons for opposing the state printing
plan is the fact that IS per cent or
more of the books now used in the
state, and considered the best books,
would not be available under state
printing. Pu l is hing companies
have announced that they will not

HIGHWAY CODE COMPROMISE
is PREDICTED AT OLYMPIA

OLYMPIA, Feb. ga committee of
county commissioners has been con-
ferring with Lacey Murraw, director
of highways, and they may evolve a
compromise on the new highway
code whereby the commissioners
would be given two-year continu-
ance of the present arrangement
whereby they act as the highway
directors representatives in county
road work. This would let the 1887
legislature decide whether all high
way construction and supervision is
to be conferred in the state office.
If a truce with the county COM
missioners is patched up there may
be left the controversy with the
municipalities which are pleading
for larger share of the motor We
hicle funds to be spent on city
streets. The commissioners are not
much interested in this phase and
the state department doesn't like
to spare the money but the NUM-
cipalitieS may have more votes than
is suspected
state motor vehicle fund is mex
huStible but the fact is that there
would not have been much state
road work during the past two
years if the federal government had
not been liberal with relief funds
and Murrow had not succeeded in
getting a lions share of the state
emergency relief fund for work re-
lief in road building.

Charges Of Preference Rule VIC

MASON CITY-Sn1ce the earliest

ing to the specifications on the
project, veterans are to have pre-
ference in hiring, and to have re-
tention rights when a large group
Is let off. This means that a vet
eran will get the job, if he is OPP
posed by another workman, not a
veteran, of equal caliber; or that
a veteran will be retained in pre-
ference to non-veterans in case of
q large layoff.
Present at the meeting will be

up to $125. While department.
heads asked that their payrolls be
raised more than two million dol

to raise them $1,O64,439
Before I" support any program
of raising pay to state officials now

$500, I'll fight for my bill giving the
raises to salaries in the lower brack-

'There are hundreds of school
teachers getting $50 a month or
less. The bill I'm going to have
drafted will prevent the big guns
from getting pay boosts until the

Fix New Office
For County Agent
Vernon Chapman And Deputy
Move To Third Floor
Of Courthouse

Offices of Vernon Chapman
county agricultural agent, were
moved from the Commercial Bank
building in Okanogan to the third
floor of the courthouse Wednes-
day.
The. agents new quarters were
formerly occupied by the county
nurse, Miss Kathryn Prusack, who
has established her offices on the
fourth floor of the courthouse. The
nurses new quarters have been re-
modelled and placed in shape for
office facilities.
The county agents transfer to the
courthouse has been contemplated
by the county commissioners for
several months, chiefly as an econ
omy move. The change also makes
it more convenient for rural resi-
dents to locate ethe agent during
their visits to the county seat.

per cent under 1929. Agricultural
prices were still down about 40 PEI
cent under 1929, whereas industrial
prices were only IS per cent under
1929 figures" Continuing, Secretary
Wallace declared:
1.-THE measure Of our recovery In
1885, as I see it, will be determined
principally by the price and produc-
ton policies of industry.
Agriculture is more and more in
terested in this question of in
dustrial production and prices, be-
cause it has progressed about as far
as it can in raising prices by re-
ducing supply. In fact, our adjust
ment program for 1885 calls for in
creases in supply"
One of the difficulties with which
agriculture has had to contend
under the recovery program revolves
around the fact that industrial
prices have been boosted much
faster than agricultural prices.

ARREST OF DIPLOMAT
HAS BAD CONSEQUENCES

The aftermath of the arrest in Elk
ton of Ghaffar Khan DALAI, Persian
Minister to the United States has
been far greater than most anyone
anticipated at first.
The matter of his arrest by Town
Officer Jacob Biddle and subsequent
" being handcuffed, by Constable
Clayton Ellison, was reported by the
Persian Representative to Secretary
of State Cordell Hull, and he asked
for a report on the affair through
Governor Nice, of Maryland.
Such report by the Town of Elk
ton, was taken to Washington, by
Captain Russell M. George. The sub
stance of the report has not been
made known. It is alleged that this
was the first time in the history OF
the United States that a Foreign
Minister had been arrested and hand
cuffed. While it was not generally
known, the affair has brought out
the fact, that no officer, is authorized
to arrest such an official. The only
redress for violation of law is to re-
port the attractions to the country
they represent.
Mayor Henry H. Mitchell, Sheriff
Eugene Racine, States Attorney Rol-
Inns and Joshua Clayton, Esq, Coun-
sci for the town of Elkton, held a con-
ference on the matter in Baltimore,
with Governor Nice. 1t is understood
that the Governor offered suggestions
as to what action should be taken.
Recently, the City Council, men,
bers of the Board of County Com
missioners and other local officials,
held meeting in Council Hall in Elk
ton. The matter of the arrest of the
foreign diplomat, and just what action
should be taken, was discussed at
great length and from all angles.
However, every person present SOL
emnly agreed not to divulge what
took place or what action would be
taken. Nevertheless, it is generally
understood that both Officer Biddle
and Constable Ellison will lose their
jobs. While it seems rather tough,
one official is credited with saying,
"There is nothing else that can be
DONE" Minister DALAI is credited
with stating he would be satisfied
if the officers who arrested him were
punished.
Carrying out instructions States
Attorney Rollins preferred charges
of assault against Messrs. Biddle and
Clayton, and at a hearing before Ma
gistrate Walter G.. Miller, on We'd
nesday, each of them was fined $25
and costs.
None of the County or Town Of
ficials will say whether or not the Of
ficers involved in the arrest Of the
foreign diplomat, have yet sent in
their RESERVATIONS.

AUTOMOBILE TAGS
SHIPPED FROM BALTIMORE

A first mail shipment of 1000 tags
was sent to the Baltimore Postoffice
for distribution Wednesday.
Five thousand other sets of license
plates have been handed out at the
cashiers windows at the office to APP
plicants in person during the first
few days the tags have been on sale.
Approximately 5000 other mail
applications have been received and
are being handled by special group
of thirty extra clerks who prepared
the application forms which were
mailed to the public last Friday.
This influx of applications was said
to be an appreciate increase over
the number sent in last year, tending
to show that a larger number of
motorists are availing themselves of
the facilities of the Commissioners
staff to have their tags mailed out
to them.
According to the motor vehicle law
new tags may be displayed begin
ming on December Is.
