SAL HIM. Or., April 24. (Special.)
The murder of Simon Toder, Wood
burn garage owner, was an important
factor in the recent action of the
Marion county court in entering into
contract with the law enforcement
oepartment of the Oregon anti-saloon
league to assist local officers in fer
retina; out prohibition violations in
this vicinity.
This was the statement made here
tfxTay by W. M. Bushey. county judge,
following printed intimations in
number of newspapers to the effect
that the imported sleuths had bun
ded their operations to the extent
that the raids had not produced re
suits corresponding: with the cost to
the taxpayers.
"It is the opinion of the people
of the Gervais and Woodburn vicini
ties that Mr. Toder was murdered by
moonshiners," said Judge Bushey to
. day, "and I have been repeatedly
asked to employ outside men in
hope that the persons responsible for
the crime ruight be apprehended.
Much more is known by the officials
with relation to the Toder murder
than has been printed in the news
papers."
Drastic Action Decided Oa.
Commenting with regard to cen
sure that had been heaped upon the
county court for Importing operatives
of the anti-saloon league. Judge
Uushey said he conceded it was bet
ter to leave enforcement of the laws
In the hands of the regularly elected
officers, but that the time had ar
rived when it was necessary to take
drastic action to put an end to the
illicit liquor traffic in this county.
"It is true that the importation of
these officers costs money," said
Judge Bushey. "but the court is will
ing to spend the public funds for law
enforcement if It is necessary. It will
cost more of public money if the laws
are not enforced.
In explaining why the court had
entered into a contract with the Anti
Saloon league. Judge Bushey said the
utmost secrecy was necessary. It
seems that there is a spy in the com
munity." said Judge Bushey. "and
not a few of the persistent violators
of the prohibition laws have been
tipped off with relation to the of
fleers' movements."
Forty Organisations Combine.
Concurrently with the issuance of
Judge Bushey's statement there was
made public a letter signea oy Konaia
C. Glover, under the title or chair
man steering committee, indicating
that 40 various organizations in Salem
and Marion county had combined to
assist in the enforcement of the laws
as they relate to prohibition, gam
bling' and selling cigarettes to minors.
The latter statement follows:
"The undersigned has been noting
the numerous efforts of a certain
newspaper in this vicinity to discredit
the excellent work of the law en
forcement officers of the federal gov
rr.mcnl of the state of Oregon, of
the Anti-Saloon league of Oregon and
other good citixens in breaking up a
clique of bootleggers who have been
operating in Marion county ana vi
cinity with Impunity and unhindered
for several months.
Fin Ink Fitcfct Promised.
"I am not the only person watching
these efforts, and myself and others

i..-0,.t re insolring such efforts.
If the boot egger and his ilk and de-
t.n.ier want a fight to me union
along this line, they want Just what
they are going to get. for the better
element in this community !s or
ganized and proposes to go to the
limit of the law in securing more
wholesome conditions and in writing
the doom of illicit use of liquors,
gambling and the selling of cigarettes
to minors.
"We have more than 40 organiza
tions banded together for this pur
pose and represent' thousands of per
sona in our county. We propose to
back our county court and the faith
ful and courageous officials of our
government, state, county and city to
the fullest extent in the execution of
their sworn duty to enforce the laws.
We commend most unreservedly the
very satisfactory work already ac
complished." Since the anti-saloon league opera
tives arrived In Marion county re
cently raids have been conducted al
most nightly, large quantities of
liquor have been confiscated and a
number of violators have pleaded
guilty to charges preferred against
them and have been fined.

WASHINGTON, D. C April 24. The

congress Saturday after Installing the
officers elected Friday. While pro
ceedings of the final session were of
a perfunctory nature, announcements
of candidacy for president-general in
the 1923 election and action of the
resolutions committee in pigeonholing
a resolution Introduced early in tne
week calling upon members of th
society to aid in a strict enforcemen

interesting.
The prohibition resolution caned at
tention to the fact that the Daughters
of the American Revolution was
pledged to support the constitution
and as the 18th amendment was a part
of the constitution, the organization
should, give it strong support. When
the committee in submitting us una
report failed to refer In any way to
the resolution there was considerable
comment from supporters of the dry
move.
Mrs Anthony Wayne Cook of

that Mrs. William Cummlngs Storey

WASHINGTON, D. C. April 21.
The government. . which lately has
been having difficulties in getting
money, also occasionally encounters
difficulty in getting rid of It. The
latter difficulty faces the agricul
tural department's bureau of markets,
which is trying to distribute $500,006
among wool growers and distributors.
Under war-time price regulations
the government, bought all the wool
produced in the United States, fixed
the commission to all dealers and buy
ers and undertook to see that the
sheepmen got the exact amount due
them on their entire flock "growth.
In view of the tremendous weight of
wool handled, small mistakes in
weights and estimates accrued during
the two years the system was oper
ated and in the end the audit of the
joint account showed that dealers
had $566,013.89 on hand in excess of
their allotted profit and commis
sions. This, it was decided, should
go back to the producers, in accord
ance with the amount of wool they
furnished the government. But It has
proven easier to decide the problem
than to work It.
The government, to date baa distrib
uted $101,669. S2 to S4.630 woolgrow
ers. Most of the excess profits orig
inated in the territory east of the
Mississippi river, where small sheep
flocks are somewhat of a side line
for farmers. Big producers in the
west were easily accounted for.
The government thus is up "against
the Job of paying the money out in
amounts ranging from 30 cents up
wards to S3. Also it has been dis
covered that, while 3600 country buy
ers took out proper licenses and came
under regulation, 1369 storekeepers,
bankers and others bought small lots j
Lof wool, but didn't handle enough to
acquaint themselves of the require
ments. The balance of the half mil
lion is likely to lay in the treasury
indefinitely as a consequence.

THE SOWER
To reap, one must first sow. To enjoy tlie comforts
of financial independence, one must first sow the seed
of the Savings habit. This old natural law is as self
evident as it is ancient; yet there are thousands of per
sons, in this modern day, who drift along without mak
ing the slightest effort to help themselves, vainly hop.
ing that Providence will some day provide the comforts
that can only come through their own labor.
Independence does not happen; it is not a gift. It
is the reward of thoughtful effort the rich harvest
of years of careful saving.
