VOL. XXIX NO. 304 OF ROSEBURG REVIEW VOL. XX NO. 75 OF THE EVENING NEWS eview By FRANK JENKINS pHESIDENT Hoover, asked for an expression of opinion on the export debenture plan of (lie Na-j t.'onal Granse an a part of the new ' farm roller hill, declines to give ,nn off hand opinion. He has had no time to study It Jn detail he says. Then he offers to have government I experts obtain Information, as to how such a plan has operated In other countries. There speaks Hoover. Don't talk i until you know what you are talk-1 Ing about. Get the facts flint- than 1 make up your mind. When such a method is followed, many mistakes tire avoided. i- 'T'tiK export debenture plan of, the National Grange Is In very' many ways the simplest proposal i for farm relief that 1ms been ad-1 vanced. It amounts, In effect, to paying a direct bonus, or bounty, i on agricultural exports, tlius giving to the farmer for his exportable surplus a higher price than that justified by the world market. The money with which to pay this bonus, or bounty, would be obtained by a system of rphmaa the duty on Imports. These rebates i ,,, K , ... ! would be made commercially avail-; uoie uy means or certificates, or "debentures." Hence the name "ex- port debenture plan" rr,, , , , The plan, of course, would be a luuuuauwu way or tuning money out of the treasury, because money prevented from going Into the treasury, by means of these deben tures, would be exactly equivalent to money taken out of the treas ury. "HE problem that would remain Hi. problem that would remain unsolved, under export deben ture plan ns under other farm re lief plans, would bo that of over production following higher prices. That is the real problem back of nil farm relief legislation. A "fln1"""- bl,n""" pretty aml.well dressed, walked Into a Denver bank day before yes terday afternoon, held up n toller and walked away with $5,000. Easy money, you say. if you say that, you are wrong. In return for this $5,000, she gave up her peace of mind, for not only will the hand of the law be hereafter against her but every criminal with whom she associates and in whom she con fides will be ready to turn Inform of and give her away. : Peace of mind is worth more than $5,000.

If you are approaching middle age, you are fumlliar with a lltlla entertainment device, contempor aneous with bustles and balloon sleeves, known as a stereoscope. You looked through double lenses at a double picture, and the figures in the picture seemed to stand out I from the background.

CARNEGEE FUND TEACHERS Pension Expert Says Poor Management Threatens Organization With Bankruptcy. Promises to Professors of Certain Age Have to Be Repudiated Salary Boosts Blamed. (AunrlatH Vrm hvttnl Wire) NKW YORK, April 13. Reduc tion In pension payments under the $30,000,000 Carnegie foundation for the advancement of teaching was the subject of controversy today. Monell Sayre, former pension ex pert of the foundation and inter national authority on the subject, charged in an address at Colum bus, Ohio, last night that "extraor dinary ineptitude" of the manage ment has brought the organiza tion to a slate of virtual bank ruptcy. This charge, however, mot with denial from Dr. Henry S. Pritchett, the foundation's president, who declared tho modification policy simply a readjustment to meet changing salary conditions In the teaching profession. Promises Not Kept Mr. Sayre said that in 191G, ten years after establishment of the foundation by Andrew Carnegie with a gift of tlO.000,000, it "In ef fect confessed bankruptcy" by re pudiating nromises of pensions to professors then under 48 years or age. It was able to continue Us promises to those, over that age. he said, by an- additional gift of 51fi,000.000 from tho Carnegie foundation. Approximately 3.600 professors not yet In receipt of pensions are to have their pensions 'recalculat ed' on a new basis. This 'recalcu lation means another drastic re pudiation of promises. The persons Involved are peculiarly to be pitied, because they are professors too near the ago of retirement to change their financial plans for old age." Millions to Be Dealt Mr. Prichelt In his reply said Ihe foundation will distribute between 45 and 50 millions of dollars In pensions during the next 35 years. "Its rules." he said, "have never been contractual and have always made clear the fact that great changes In the compensation of teachers would necessitate read justments from time to time In the pension scheme. "During the past few years sal aries of college teachers have more than doubled and the rules have been readjusted to this great rise In salary by the use of a fixed scale whlcJi will not vary In tho rfiiture."
