'v ".impiied Sympathy With Non-;.-v
Partisans Repudiated.
ALIENS ON LAND OPPOSED
-'Consolidation of City and County
Condemned Because of Alleged
.v Bud Effect on Rural Schools.
' - . E. E. Spence, master ot the Oregon
' .State grange, heard himself and his
.' . ' ,jand and labor league policies scored
, " -jn a resolution adopted by Multnomah
". ' Couaty Pomona grange at its regular
quarterly meeting in Evening Star
'.' '. -halt on Wednesday. While Mr.
.pence's name was not used, the
. . "'iiiarge was made by implication that
' ' .ha wan trying' to commit the state
grange to the policies of the non
: -partisan and land and labor leagues.
. . The meeting showed marked hostility
. to "state grange officers who have
. sriven utterances in favor of the non
'" partisan league and other kindred or-
. v lEanizations."
It. W. Gill spoke vigorously upon
.the subject, saying that it was not
: a personal matter hut a larger ques'
1 tion pertaining to the welfare of the
. state. The principles of the order
, " forbid any affiliation with other or-
. ionizations, he said, and he expressed
. -resrrcts that the state master should
.: take- any stand that would jeopardize
..tne influence of the grange, or give
to anyone the impression that the
" arrange was committed to such propa
. jr;mrta as the public is being led to
'" .believe, lie called upon Mr. Spence
to make a statement that would show
he was not using his position, to sway
nublic opinion.
. : .Mr. Spence took the stand that he
did not lay aside any political rights
when he become state master. He
." 'claimed that the publicity given by
.the newspapers to his activity in the
, . ." . land and labor league had done more
, " injury to the grange than his par-
ilcipation in the meetings he had at-
' , ..tended. He left the inference that
.,.-iu actions had been misinterpreted.
- . Publicity Violated Obligation.
. ' " lie charged that the publication of
.'. his participation in such meetings by
'members of the order or the giving
' '. - out of information by members to the
'. ' newspapers was a 'violation of their
.,..'.. obligation. He further complained
'- that there had never been a confer
enc3 with him by grange members
r - upon the matter, but that the public
had been told of his actions without
-V '- his knowledge. At no point in his
v ' V fpeeth did he express any regret for
. '. . the stand he had, taken.
' " Other speakers declared that the
conduct of Mr. Spence would lead out
; ' ;- sidersTo Infer that the order indorses
' :tlie non-partisan and land and labor
- leaguej. He was strongly of opinion
' ,'that the grange should keep its hands
' -free and clean from outside influences
, 'and avoid turning the grange into
t . '- 'other channels.
. " . Mr. Spence replied to this by saying
" that enmity to the grange is based
V upon the fact that the grange has
. opposed road bond Issues as a steal
' . 7 ' of the people's money. He said that
' he hadn't time to answer all charges
aeainst him. and that if he and the
-i , grange had not antagonized road
" .bond propositions and several other
' ' interests they would have been looked
upon with more favor.
.-' fc I'nanimous Resolution. Adopted.
i. v' . The resolution whicli was adopted
". unanimously reads as follows:
" . ' - Whereas, Various gran Res throughout the
country and state hve declared their op-
, position to any affiliation with partisan
'..movements of any kind whatsoever, and
Whereas, We realize that the name of
- ' the Kranse In Oregon has been discussed
In th. press and other places, and the sug
Estion has becomo prevalent that th.
, uranses are In accord with thsj Land and
: ' jibor league, the Non-partisan league.
- . etc.: and
.' Whereas, This confusion In the mind of
. . the public is partially due to the attitude
of 'soma of our state grange officers who
liave given public utterance in grange
- meetings and in the Orange Bulletin in
z favor of -the Non-partisan league. Theoe-
. lore be It.
, , Resolved, By Multnomah County Pomona
ix t grange, in assembly at Evening star grange
i. - Jiall, that we declare our strong oppoei.
tion to any affiliation with the iand and
Labor league, the Non-partisan league or
other partisan movements, and that we
' urge all state officials of the order who
. have been quoted in the public press as
lending aid to any partisan movement to
; ceclare in the public press where the state
: grange stands, so that the grange, as a
: whole, may be cleared In the eyes of the
' . public from being in sympathy with any
( uch affiliation.
Alien Ownership Condemned.
'' Alien ownership and use of farm
lands was given a heavy slap fn the
.-.-.lace py adoption 01 a resolution that
' ; will go to Oregon's congressmen at
. -- Washington.
; Consolidation of city and county
". was opposed on the ground that such
consolidation would place the rural
' trhools under the management of the
..."board of directors of the Portland
school district and would extend the
: teachers' tenure of office law. The
resolution eays:
. ,. Whereas, It is nnaerstood that at the
' j coming fall election the initiative Is to be
- ' Invoiced on the question of the consolidation
- ": of the governments of the city of Portland
.-', and the county of Multnomah; and
Whereas, 8uch consolidation would place
r our rural schools under the management
of the board of directors of the Portland
f ' School district and would extend the
V tfacherr tenure of office law to cover
. ', 5 me entire county; now, therefore be it
' Resolved. That we. the members of
omona grange, ao-protest against the ex
tension of the teachere' tenure of office
' law. and that we. wish to" go on record as
' y . being opposed to any consolidation that
, m unas """it sucn an extejisioo.
