nd sound business judgment, and efore he was 20, his father sent alim to the county seat to negotiate sale of a farm and handle two lawsuits growing out of the collec- ton of rentals.
 The contact thus established with the machinery of the law was the beginning of a distinguished legal career. Entering the employ of the clerk of the circuit court. he applied himself so StudiouSly that within two years, just after vhe came of age, he was admitted to the bar and went to Kingwood, w. Va, to hang out his shingle.
 Enters Politics
 Meantime he also had taken his first plunge into politics. In the year he was 21 he served as chairman of the Taylor County, Virginia, Dem ocra atic committee during the Hayes campaign. Soon after his removal to King wood he was chosen ot a similar post in the Democratic organiza-

 It was during his period of serv- ice with the Red Cross that he was called upon to take up the addi- tional responsibilities of special commission to Mexico. With Chas. B.

ton of Preston county, and in or der to give the county a Demo cratic newspaper, he purchased and published for time the West Virginia Argue. In 1882, he wa; elected mayor of Kingwood, but the following year he moved tc Chicago to find a wider field of opportunity both in law and poi tics.
 Talented Lawyer
 In the Illinois metropolis he soon won recognition both as a talented lawyer and an efficient public servant. In 1889 he. was elected president of the Chicago Law Institute, and in 1893 judge of the superior court of Cook coun- ty. He resigned that position, how ever, and in 1899 entered law partnership with Edwin Walker one of the senior members of the Chicago bar. Four years later through a consolidation the firm became Winston, Payne, Strawn and Shaw, from which MT. Payne resigned in 1918 to devote his en- tire time to public service.
 He haa ueciined the position of Solicitor General of the United States in 1913, but after the coun- try's entrance into the World War he placed his services at the dis posal of the government. Presi- lent Wilson first sent him to the Pacific Coast in 1917 to aid in the settlement of shipyard strikes. Then he served successively, as a member of the Board of Appeals of the Treasury Department, and general counsel of the Shipping Boards fleet corporation.
 Gives President Advice
 When late in 1917, the War President decided to take over the .ailroads, MT. Payne was asked for advice as to how it could be done n the absence of an appropriation rom Congress. The next day he submitted in writing the plan tha. was adopted. At once he was made general counsel of the Railroad Administration whose head he was to become soon after he entered the cabinet during the last year of the Wilson administration.
 On Shipping Board
 From August, 1917, to March, 1920, over the critical period of 7ar emergency, he was chairman of the Shipping Board, and it was ,nder his guidance that the great war merchant fleet was builded. Then for year he was secretary of the Interior, devoting particular attention to conservation of the navy's petroleum reserves and of he national parks. He put into effect the oil leasing act, and suc- ;essfully opposed the building of a commercial dam in Yellowstone Park.
 He became chairman of the Red

HOLLYWOOD, Nov Il. UP
Leslie Howard's single-tax plan, not
to be confused with the plan of Hen
ry George, is the talk of Hollywood
tonight.
Leslie is toiling to give the gov
ernment half his salary on one
condition:
That, having paid half his wages
to the government, he be relieved
of all further taxation.
I'm willing to give up half OF
my salary for taxes. But I don't
want to have to pay any further
taxes with my nalf. The govern
ments share under my plan, would
cover federal and state income tax,
personal and real property tax,
gasoline and sales tax
Has No Kick
Howard has no kick against tax
rates in this country. England, he
says, levies taxes as high, if not
higher, than America.
His complaint is against the Wor-
ry and bother of many taxes.
Il must save money to pay my in
come tax then I have to hire ac-
countants and experts to figure it
out. have to worry about property
taxes.
Under my plan, the government
would do the worrying in exchange
for the privilege of collecting half
my pay check each week. If any
one has to be hauled into court to
explain tax errors, let it be the gov
ernment men,"

next be led. East should not ruff, or
there will be nothing to the prob

MIGRATORY WORKERS
CAMPS NEEDED

Imperial Valley growers and shippers
will watch with intense interest the plans
of the rural resettlement administration
Tor construction of from 10 to 20 migra-
tory workers camps in California, some
them probably in Imperial county.
Agricultural strikes in the valley, as
elsewhere in California, have found as
one of their principal themes the lack of
housing facilities for harvest crews.
That such facilities are lacking in most
instances is generally recognized fact.
The farmer, battling year after year to
keep his books out of the red, also knows
that he cannot afford to erect spacious
quarters on his property for the men
and women who work for him few
weeks out of the year. If the federal gov
ernment can do so, he will be satisfied.
There is no grower or shipper in I'M
perlal Valley who wishes to act the part
of tyrant over the persons who harvest
the valleys crops The agricultural en-
ployers are just as anxious as anyone
else to see their employees housed in mod
ern quarters and given modern conven-
fences. Only-it is not within reason to
expect the average farmer to spend hun
dreds of dollars for homes on his prop
erty, when the homes will be used only
few weeks each year. The farmer
CANDLES when he plants his crop each
season that the market will allow him
profit. If it does not-and there have
been many instances when it did not
then he takes the loss and battles on
hoping always that the next season will
bring him enough to wipe out the deficit.
Unhappily, there seems never to have
been medium for agreement between
employers and employees when Difficult
ties arise. The farmers, embittered by
impending losses, cannot sympathize
with the claims of harvest laborers. The
laborers cannot see that the farmer is
anything but a prosperous individual
Neither is right. Yet those employers
who have attempted to be most fair have
always recognized the need for housing
facilities for the migrating farm labor
element.
There is one grave danger in the pro-
gram proposed by the resettlement ad-
mlnistration. If the camps they erect
are allowed to become year-round quar-
ters for families or groups now in the
habit of following the harvests, the dan
ger to the community will be serious.
Outside of harvest seasons, the camp
inmates might become inclined to forage
through the county for their living, not
seeking gainful employment, but depend
ing upon relief and other similar agen-
cies for livelihood. Only the strictest
of supervision can prevent such situ-
alton.
Properly conducted and supervised,
the proposed migratory workers camps
might prove boon to any agricultural
region in which they are situated. At
least, they would remove one of the sor-
est spots in dissension among agricul-
tural groups.
Imperial Valley should welcome the
experiment

Two PARTIES,
CONSERVATIVE AND LIBERAL

England's election of last week placed
The so-called conservative Tory party in
complete control of the British govern
ment, shunting the liberal Labor faction
INTO comparative oblivion. Rather than a
test between liberal and conservative par
ties, however, the balloting tested British
public opinion for its reaction to disarma-
ment and armament policies. The Tories
proposed to spend millions of dollars
readylng Great Britain Or possible
armed conflict. The Laborites disap-
proved such expenditures for such a pur-
pose.
Conservatism appeared only in the de-
sire TO be ready for any eventuality. Op-
position to the desire could not, even by
far-fetched reasoning be termed liberal
ism. Under the clouds of threatening
war, liberalism and conservatism lose
their sharp contrast. They did so in
England.
When there is a clear severance be-
tween conservative and liberal factions
IN any government, it is good thing for
the government. No nation in which lib
erals and conservatives are opposed in
the public eye will go too far astray for
long. One always acts as balance
against the other, the liberals prevent
ing the conservatives from becoming re-
dictionary, and the conservatives prevent
ing the liberals from becoming imprac-
tically visionary. Such check is neces-
sary for the good of the people governed.
Any so-called conservative element. if
given full power, is too liable to oppose
development, relying too much on prece-
dent and paying too little attention to
the changing needs of the country The
methods followed yesterday and the day
before, the habits of past generations,
are far too apt to become the yardstick
by which the present-day government is
conducted
By the same token, full power placed
in the hands of liberal party may re-
suit in experimentation and advanced
methods for which the nation is not vet
ready The system of trial and error is
likely to be given consideration for be-
yond its due, with resultant error caus-
ing considerable harm to the welfare of
the people.
Between the two, as between any ex-
tremes, there is a middle path of sane
government, keeping pace with the times.
Liberalism, tinged with conservative re-
Election, is necessary in such govern
ment.
Human nature being what it is there
is only one way to obtain the ideal
state. That is through proper bal
ance for the two.

THE LAST DEFENSE

THE PROBLEM hand of yester-
day is repeated below. Spades are
trumps. The opening lead is the @
of hearts, that North wins with the
K, then leads the Ace of the same
suit. South discards a club on the
first heart trick. Yesterday we found
that a grand slam cannot be pre-
vented If East ruffs the second lead
of hearts, or if he discards club
thereon. The only other defense
which East can offer is to discard
a diamond Try that play, to see
whether or not South still can make
his grand slam.

The see-saW between unions and

the shoulder and usually there is a
storm brewing, Richard Mansfield,
testiest of the stars, had a senti-
mental regard for those who made
up the house staff, front and back.
He rarely spoke to fellow play
er save through lines of the play.
But when his runs ended he invar-
iably saw to it that each member of
the company and all connected with
the house received a gold piece.
Maude Adams also presented each
with a gift in person.
A minor member of ManSfield'S S
company was once invalided to a
hospital for u weeks. Mansfield paid
the expenses. One night after his
return to duty, the actor sought
Mansfield to thank him. He glared
and shouted: II don't know what
you are talking about" And stamp
