THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1922 a VETS MAKE AS SOIL TILLERS Editor of Stars and Stripes . Says Soldiers Succeed. SUBSIDY HELD FAILURE !V. P, Strandborg of Portland Con fers in Washington on Land Settlement Plans. THE OREGOXIAX NEWS BUREAU, "Washington, D. C. May 24. W. P. Strandborg of Portland, member of the Oregon Land Settlement commis sion, is in Washington for conference with various federal government de partments and other agencies with reference to both national and state movements designed to assist veter ans of the world war. He is making a survey of the meas ures enacted by various states grant ing aid to veterans in establishing , themselves on productive land and in home buying. States which have al ready passed such acts are Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Minne sota, New Mexico, Oregon, South Da kota and Washington, with a bill now pending in Wyoming. Work In South Dakota Studied. Mr. Strandborg has gone over the situation in the various states with Richard S. .Jones, editor of the Stars and Stripes, and with Senator McNary, father of the pending reclamation till. He is giving special attention to the work in South Dakota, which has been strongly fostered by Represent ative Johnson of that state, and for which excellent results are claimed. Editor Jones of Stars and Stripes told Mr. Strandborg that exeprience lias shown that the world war veter ans are making good farmers where ver they have been given a fighting chance after being established on productive lands. "From the rather casual study 1 have made of the subject so Jar," said Strandborg, "I am convinced that the best results are going to be had by the state if they will work in closest harmony with the reclamation serv ice. The McNary measure, if passed, will open the way for definite and constructive work and I believe it will be of great assistance to our or ganization's land settlement commit tee in placing the right kind of veter ans on land that will earn them a profitable living. It has already been very well shown by careful and some what distressing experience in vari ous sections that you cannot make de sirable farmers on a subsidy basis. Plan Must Be Economically Sound. "The plan to be effective must be economically sound and not based on any artificial subsidy plan. However, the 'preferential' plan adopted by the reclamation service, as in the cases of the Shoshone and North Platte proj ects in Wyoming, where the veterans are given a 6U-day priority filing right, has worked out successfully without in any sense embodying the questionable subsidy feature. "It further seems to be true in most ctateaQthat have enacted veteran aid measures and created land settlement commissions' that the legislatures have told the commissions In effect to go out in the woods and cut wood and euppiied them with manicure sets for tools, instead of with axes and saws."

ENTERPRISE, Or., May 24. (Spe cial.) Ideal weather favored the 400 members of the Cattle and Horse Raisers' association of Oregon now here for their ninth annual conven tion and a large number attended both morning and afternoon meetings today. Particular interest was shown in the talk of B. A. Burleigh of En terprise, who told of the great re sources of Wallowa : county and surprised his hearers by his statistics showing the production of livestock and grains and his description of the scenery, climate, hunting and fishing that makes thi3 county a fine sum mer resort. Charles H. Stewart, vice-president of the Northwestern National bank, Portland, impressed on the conven tion the vital necessity of direct mar keting from the stock raiser to the consumer, calling attention to the fact that it requires about one year for production and another year for consumption. This two-year period requires loans of the same length instead of the usual six-month loans which are not suited to the needs of the stock raisers. This brought on djscussion of the proposed formation among members of a corporation to deal with the war finance corporation. Consideration of this question was postponed until tomorrow with the prospect of ad verse action because sentiment of the meeting was that the war finance corporation could make permanent connections with eastern bankers. Some of those attending the con vention were C. M. McAlister, G. F. Pierson, Gerry Snow, B. C. Darnall, I. D. Bodine, S. F. Wilson, J. P. Doherty and C. H. Stewart, Portland; F.

WORK TAKES BACK SEAT Bureau Employes So Interested in Controversy That Little At- . tcntion Given Business. WASHINGTON-, D. C, May 24. The intra-departmental controversy which resulted m the treasury from failure of Assistant Secretary Dover and Col lector Blair of the internal revenue bureau to agree on a proposed reor ganization of the bureau was carried to President Harding today, but there was no indication from the White House as to what position he would take. s A. D. Sumner of Iowa and C. C. Childs of Ohio, who were removed by order of Secretary 'Mellon from the offices of deputy commissioner of in ternal revenue and supervisor of col lectors, respectively, through the con solidation of their units, conferred with the president late today for about half an hour and were under stood to have laid their cases before him In detail. Removal Is Di'icnssed. Earlier in the day members of the Iowa congressional delegation took up the removal of Mr. Sumnes with the president and Senator Cummins, republican, Iowa, had a talk with Sen ator Pepper, republican, Pennsyl vania, who Is regarded as being close to Mr. Mellon, but no further develop ments were made known. At the treasury echoes of what was regarded as a "finish fight" between Mr. Dover and Mr. Blair rumbled through the halls and there was a general air of expectancy which of ficials declared was taking the minds of bureau employes off their work. Commissioner Blair said there m'ght be more changes of a minor nature in the bureau, but said that no further action in connection with officials as Important as the two removed yester day was planned. Harding: Mneh Concerned. President Harding was said to be much concerned over the apparent conflict, much of which he was said to believe was personal between treasury executives and which gener ally is considered as having led to the displacement yesterday of two high officers of the internal revenue bu reau. Those who talked with the presi dent today regarding the matter said that the executive, while deeply re gretful over the situation, had not decided what action he should take. MR. DOVER HAS AO COMMENT Secretary Encouraged in Belief Plan Will Be Adopted. SAN FRANCISCO, May 24. Elmer Dover, assistant secretary of the treasury, said here today that he had "no comment to make" on the action of the federal tax simplification board in- effecting the removal of certain of his appointees by Secretary Mellon yesterday "if such removals are made in the interests of efficiency and economy." "If they were a personal matter, however, I will be heard from," Mr. Dover said. Commenting ' on certain adverse Washington speculation regarding his plan to decentralize the work, of the internal revenue department, Mr. Dover said: "I have heard nothing which would indicate that my plan is not being favorably considered by the tax sim plification board, which has it under consideration. It has to compete with four or five other plans there, but I am encouraged In the belief that it will be adopted. It is greatly favored by the people of the west and southwest states Decause of the great service it does the taxpayer in not forcing him to go to the office of the collector, which may be hundreds of miles away. Memoers of the board have toid me that the plan was being favorably considered. "I can hardly believe there is any thing personal in either the removals or the comment on the plan. I am awaiting official advices." Air Dover announced he would leave for Seattle late today. BEVERIDGE BACKS CHIEF , (Continued From First Page.) guided by fundamental principles and never by shallow expediency." Senator Watson praised the execu Hve. legislative and diplomatic rec ord of the present administration and flayed the recent democratic admin istration as "debt-incurring,, deficit creating, bond-issuing, surplus-scattering, factory-closing, industry-par-alyz'ng, prosperity-destroying, social upheaving and cataclysm-producing." , Renponslbijity In Placed. "We are not responsible for all this waste," he declared. "We did net produce all this wreckage. We d d not Incur these debts. We have not piled up this mountain of obligations and those gentlemen who are respon sible for all this riotous orgy of ex travagance and all this upsetting of industry and unsettling of financial conditions now stand and jeer at us because in 14 months we have not overcome all -the evil they, produced in eight years.". , ' "We have not yet accomplished all that we have set out to do," he con tinued. "We have not cured all the ills and corrected all the mistakes and overcome ' all the re'vUsof eight years oi democratic misrule, .but cer tainly we have taken long strides in the right d'rection, and assuredly if the republican party cannot adjust matters, what hope is there in turn ing to the organization that caused all the disaster in the beginning;'' Reduction of taxes; and appropria tions, reorganization of the shipping board, . agricultural relief, the tariff bill and diplomacy of the present ad ministration were emphasized by Sen ator Watson. : "This administration -does not need an apologist," said. Senator Watson. "No administration ver .before came into power confronting '.such prpb lems of such complexity and dif ficulty as those which Were inherited by President Harding and the Repub lican congress." - V,s Step Taken Toward Peace. ' President Harding's call for the arms conference, he declared, "was the largest step toward international peace with justice the world ha known In ell its history," and the whole world, he said, applauded the results. The four-power treaty, the senator said, brought understanding and assurances for peace. Declination of the invitation to the Genoa conference also was commend ed by Mr. Watson, who said it was a political and not an economic con ference. "The world by this time ought to understand," he continued, "that we do hot intend to become involved in its political wrangles and that we are willing to lend aid or give counsel and maintain always a sympathetic attitude, yet we will refuse to be dragged Into its financial difficulties, and we always will decline to meddle with its national affairs or to become involved in age-old rivalries. We do not intend to get into this confused jumble of European animosities. This attitude of the administration meets with the hearty approval of every body except internationalists of a most extreme type." In domestic affairs. Senator Wat son said the Harding administration stood for "full freedom in business and a recognition of the larger r'ght of the Individual to control and op erate his own business affairs." "New Freedom" Travesty. "The 'new freedom" preached by Woodrow Wilson was a grotesque travesty on the very name," he added, "while the enfranchisement of busi ness under Harding is an accom plished fact." The pending tariff bill, which he helped draft, was a prominent subject of Senator Watson's address. It would do much, he said, to restore business and prosperity. Protection, he added, had been a proved policy. Soldier bonus legislation is assured "before the close of the present ses according to Senator Watson, who declared it would "involve .no additional taxation, and finally will be paid by the use of bonds of our debtor nations." Reduction in railroad rates and wages must come. Senator Watson said, together with financial main tenance of the carriers, but he de clared that railroad wages should not and would not return to pre-war levels.
