THE" OREGON DAILY- JOURNAL, PORTLAND. SATURDAY, MARCH GOLD HANDS OF CONGRESS SPOIL HDUU'SFUNS 1 By David. Lawrence ' - ' (CofuritbUA. J020.) .. Washington, March' 20. Edward T. Meredith, editor, advertising man aad promoter of large enterprises in a. word, a successful business man t has Just had the enthusiasm with - Whjch he took hold of the depart ' ment of agriculture blanketed by the cold hand of congress. ' Meredith, who halls from Des Moines, Jowa, and that part of the United Statsa where canflor U a religion, thought that all he had to do in dealing with . con . areas waa to tell the members of the senate and house exactly what sums of money were actually needed to carry on extensive work of the department of agriculture and that the needs of farm- era would be sufficient to stimulate " members of congress, ' Irrespective of politics. But the houie slashed the estimates of the, department of agriculture and while the senate committee undid aome of the damage by raising the appropria tion somewhat, the secretary feels that the reduction la a severe blow to the ag ricultural interests of the country. Mer edith Is Intensely Interested In manag ing the department of agriculture on a ,buslneea like baala and la disappointed. Here are some of the things lie regret fully admits must now be discontinued unless the senate itaelf correcta the work of its agricultural committee. , There must be a big cut in the mar ket service, one of the activities most appreciated by growers and shippers. . Dairy investigations, consisting of valuable aid being given the dairy in teregts of the country in working out better methods of preparing and utiliz ing dairy products, and development of American manufacture of Roquefort and "Swiss cheese must be curtailed. t Appropriations ' for the investigation fof cereals have been reduced. They re .late to the development of Improved 'varieties of cereals, through breeding .and selection, and the working out of 'practical methods of the control of im port cereal diseases. . Experiments now conducted lndepfnd 'ently or cooperatively at eight field sta tions will have to be discontinued and the work at others. Including those de- voted wholly to rice investigations at Crowley, La., and Rlggs, CaL consid erably decreased. quit fiohthto insects Appropriations for the bureau of J plant Inquiry, have been seriously re I'duced, exclusive of the Item for con ,'rresalonal seed distribution, which has t been eliminated from the bill, upon r-recomendation of the department of ag J rlculture. i The fund for eoil survey has been atrlcken from the bill. Funds for the ,-bureau of etomology for combating In iect pestB, which have caused enormous flosses every year, have been curtailed. t The effort of the market bureau to ' aid In bringing about a more system' atlcal and orderly distribution of farm products will be materially interfered with because the appropriation has been eut by more than 1230,000. The item for color investigation has been cut so much it will handicap the department of agriculture in the devel opment of dye Industry In this country which. It had been hoped, would make . America Independent of Germany. I Important crop reports on apples, ! j, peaches, potatoes and truck farming will have to be discontinued,, Insufficient funds have been provided .to fight the foot and mouth diseases of cattle. If an eptdemlcgfreaks out while , congress is not in sesaiWi. the funds car- rted in the bill would not be enough to cope with the situation. , EXPERTS ARE 1EA.TKT0 Secretary Meredith insists that all ' these things relate pretty closely to pro- ductlon and the coBt of living. He went ; through the estimates of his department with a fine tooth comb and cut them 1 down himself by more than $5,000,000. Although the senate included the amount of the house bill there Is still a irfet 1 deficit of $2,800,000 below what the de partment calculates are rock bottom. In these days of billion dollar expenditures that looks like a trifling sum for Mere- dith to be worrying about, but a few thousand dollars cut from an Item here ' and a few thousand from an item there can wreck the work of an entire bureau, evnd the best experts in the department, "who have been there fOr years, are dis couraged and leaving to take up other Jobs -outside the government. Secretary Meredith went on record as opposing the appropriation of $250,- 000 for the distribution of free seeds. , but the house would not heed his sugges- . tlon. The senate committee aid. v If the Item goes back in conference - the country's judgment of Meredith will have a splendid opportunity to deter : mine the good faith of congress, which on one hand chops $230,000 in the most V.tal items which have to do with pro duction, such as the market service, fighting of plant and livestock- pests, re search work, and on the other hand 'leaves In the bill 1250,000 "for seeds to send free to prospective voters in the fall elections." .. C05GBE8S NEEDS flEIfSE The secretary thinks that when the , wcrk of the department of agriculture la curtailed It will seriously affect pro- auction. He calls all this poor busl- . tiess being penny wise and pound fool-i- ish. ' " But Edward T. Meredith I" new at the , game. He credulously believed he could ' go before congress, lay all the cards on ' th. table, keep everyi ependitur in his department down to rock bottom and congress would look at the whole thing as a business proposition. There may be a good deal of agitation for a busi ness ,raan for president of the United States, but if Meredith's experience is a criterion, a business genius in the White House would be helpless without some business sense in congress. Release 25 German War Pr is onersj May " Have Some Deported Salt take, March 20. . Twenty-five German war prisoners have been named by the department of justice for Imme diate release on parole, according to Floyd t . Jackson, acting bead of the local bureau of investigation. "According to the tenor of the dis patches from Washington," -said Mr. Jackson. I am expecting orders at any time that will clear out all the pris oners at the fort Most of these, I ap prehend, will be released on parole to report at intervals to the nearest rep resentatives of the department of Jus tice. In addition, there will be a large number that will be . ordered, deported directly to Germany. These are pris oners whose records show them to be undesirable citizens."

By Paul Scott Mowrer pedal Cable to The Journal aad Tb Cbieace PaOy Haws, (Copyright. 1920, by Chicago Daily Kein Co.) London. March 20. The effort of the New York state Republic con vention to turn tha American peo ple against the International labor bureau which Is now in operation in affiliation with the league of Na tions draws forth a vigorous protest from Albert Thomas, director of the bureau. Handing me a cabled cpy of the platform of the New York convention- the vigorous and able French statesman rose from his chair and paced the floor of the London mansion where the bureau Is Installed. I read- the following underlined passage: 'Resolved, That the United States shaUJ not be drawn by the operation of part 13 of the .treaty the socalled labor clause Into the net of International socialism." STATEMENT GOES TOO FAB "We are willing, if necessary, to accept America's reservations to the treaty, exclaimed M. Thomas, still pacing up and down, "but a statement like that goes too far. We cannot let It pass un challenged. It is not enough that the organised labor of France, Britain and Italy should be accused continually of having deserted labor's cause because labor's delegates are meeting with em ployers' delegates and government rep resentatives in our councils. But now .the New York Republican convention must needs accuse us of trying to draw America into the net of international socialism we. who may, perhaps, prove to be the world's best bulwark against revolutionary, agitation. "What a strange, sad and paradoxical situation iathat of humanity at the pres ent time ! Never before in the history of the world has the interdependence of na tions been so suspicious of each other in the face of such common dangers." M. Thomas stopped before me and shrugged his shoulders with a helpless gesture. Replying to questions he con tinued : WORK IS DEVELOPING Although the international labor bureau is one of a group of organizations affiliated with the League of Nations we have our autonomous council and ad ministration. Our organization is de veloping rapidly. German and Austrian delegates are already sitting in our coun cils. Investigators are already at work stuydlng the industrial and labor prob lems of the world. Our three chief pre. occupations at present are the inter national seamen's conference, which is to be held at Genoa, Italy, under our auspices on June IS, the status of agri cultural labor which was not dealt with at the Washington conference, and, finally, Bolshevism. "Of course, if our work is to be really effective it frrust embrace all nations. We at present are in touch with coun tries like Japan and India, where there' never before has been any serious effort to study and meet great labor problems. But we - have lost touch with America. The places assigned to the representa tives of America are vacant. ' We miss the Americans very much. We have, felt, for example, that the seamen's confer ence would be of the greatest interest to them. Indeed, many of t: a items now standing on the agenda of that confer ence have been planks in their platforms for many years. 2TEED AMEEICA8 HELP 'But above all. we want America's help In dealing with Bolshevism. Bol shevism is a real issue underlying much of the world's present industrial unrest. Its danger lies chiefly In our Ignorance or what really are the present labor con ditions in Russia. It is for this reason that our bureau has determined to make a thorough study of the Russia situation. To this end we desire to utilize the best resources of every nation. ' The council or the League of Nations recently ex pressed a desire to jnaka this investiga tion political aa well aa Industrial, but we cannot concern ourselves With Ques tions of politics. Our business is to study labor conditions and these alone, I have already set a number of experts at work on Russia, and It is possible that later we mav send a commission there. In any case we are determined to gather and analyse the beat existing imorma tion from all possible sources. We be lieve that far from trying to drag the United States into the net of inter national socialism we are actually helping that country to solve Its own , labor problems." " 'yeu mean," I asked aa M. Thompas paused, "that you would; like to aee America represented in tne Bureau even before America has ratified the peace treaty 7 "Why notr was the reply.

March 20. (WASHING TON BUREAU OP THE JOURNAL) Senator McNarys resolution directing an investigation by the committee on manufactures of the senate into "who or what may be responsible for the high cost of shoes" is inspired, he says, "by in formation he has received which, fore casts a 25 per cent increase in the price of footwear this spring. MATERIAL COSTDROPS "This information has come to me from what I believe is a reliable source." said the senator "At the same time, as I am Informed, theprices of hides and pelts are declining. I, think this state of affairs warrants an investigation to determine where the responsibility rests." The committee on manufactures Is headed by Senator La Follette, the other Republican members being Lodge, Ken- yon, Fernald, McNary and Gronna. The Democratic members are Smith of South Carolina. Pomerene, Jones of New Mex ico, Reed and Walsh of Massachusetts. I5QORY ORDERED When the committee waa appointed at the beginning of this congress it was ex pected to start several Investigations connected with the cost of living, but it has been Inactive. La Follette has been ill much of the time, and as Lodge, the ranking member, is much occupied in other directions, the active conduct of an investigation seemingly would fall to Senator Kenyon. The McNary resolution was referred under the rules to the committee on audit and control, to report on the question of cost of such an inquiry. said today. She Is anxious for the time to come when she can appear against her ex-husband. Strange to say, a token from Demp- sey waa the match that set fire to Max ine's hatred, Maxine had been playing a piano in Wells. Nv., a freight division point of 200 inhabitants, while Jack was posing for the camera in Los Angeles before the admiring grass of movie queens. Those who criticize "me for' telling the truth about Jack should picture me sitting in the town of Wells, neg lected, while Jack got easy money and fame," she said. "I had assisted Jack while he was a ham and egg fighter. He lived off my money. Then, when he knew he was about to whip Wlllard, he divorced me. PLATED FOB LABORERS "Did I- get automobiles and pretty clothes? No ! I iyas playing a piano for the sm'unnent of freight handlers and minora" Maxine said she did nothing until the American Legion poets all over the country began to attack Jack's war record. "I knew they didn't have the goods on Jack and that I did," she said. "Then one. day, about a week after the Amer ican Legion got busy, I got a package from Los Angeles. "What do you suppose was tn that package? It was Jack's photograph. He sent It with love. "I sat down and wrote a letter to a newspaper saying 1 had the goods on Jack and that he was a slacker. That started things. Jack tried to phone me. Men began to arrive in Wells to see me. I wouldn't phone Jack and the men had no luck." She testified to Jack's fighting spirit and said that for days before a fight be was sullen and savage. She " explained she had once blacked Jack's eye herself. "It was afterhe had a bad fight-with Willie. Meehan. Meehan had cut his eye open. Jack and X were quarretlnf. ; lie pushed ma. X struck at that bad eye. but missed It and hit, the other.

"When they get him filled up with strychnine and past those rounds, he's a bad man to beat." she said. "X know alt about the Fiynn fight at Murray, Utah, February IS. 1917," she said. "For days before the fight Jack prac ticed flopping before a right to the jaw. He told me after the fight that when Flynn hit him it was so light he nearly forgot to lie down." Dempsey divorced Maxine February 1. 1919. They had bean married about four years. Dempsey won the world's championship five months and four days after-that Maxlae did not hear from him again directly until after the American Legion attacked his record, she said.

TALMAGE Of the" Council of the Twelve, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Salt Lake City, Utah. Kotei For free copies of other articles of this series, send request to the author. The course of the Churcfi of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has been ever onward, xt is a notable ract that its members are imbued with the testi mony of certitude aa to the genuineness of the Gospel they have embraced and th perpetuity of the Church. This has been a distinguishing feature from the beginning. Opostasy from the organization is so rare aa to be negligible. Excommunl cants. who areeorived of their stand ing through failure to live up to the high ' standard of morality and duty required by the revealed law of the -Church, while not numerous exceed by many fold tHose who voluntarily withdraw and affiliate with ether religious bodies. The Church has never experienced a period of reduced membership. Always the present has been the time of its highest achievement. In spite of opposi tion, some of which sprang from mis placed sincerity and seal, while much was bom of ignorance and fanaticism, the strength of the, Institution, meas ured in terms of loyalty, devotion and unswerving adherence to the principles of the restored Gospel, has steadily and constantly Increased. Mormon ism is definite and incisive in Its claims. It speaks to the world in no uncertain tone. Its voice is virile; its activities are strong. It presents an unbroken front and Is unafraid. Its at titude is not hostile, though strongly ag gressive. Its methods are those of rea son and persuasion, coupled with a fear less affirmation of testimony as to .the surpassing importance of its message, which message it labors to convey to every nation, kindred, tongue and peo ple. . Mormon Ism lives because It is healthy, normal and nndeformed. In general, a healthy organism is assured of life, bar ring destruction from external violence or deprivation of physical necessities; whereas one that is abnormal and sickly is doomed to decline. Opposition to the Church., the pitiless maltreatment to which its people have been subjected. particularly in the earlier decades of its history, comprising mobbings, drivings. spoliation, scour pings and assassination, have operated to strengthen the Church, bedy and soul. True, the heat of perse cution has scorched and withered a few of the sickly plants, such as hd no depth of sincerity ; but the general effect has been to promote a fuller growth, and to make richer and more fertile the Garden of tha Lord. 1 In its -early daya the Church received the word of the Lord avouching the per manency of the organisation. While ao - - --v ' - -"- individual was promised that Via ehnnM not afall away, and though the forfeiture of the Holy Spirit's companionship was specified as the sure and incalculable loss to all who wilfully persisted in sin, the blessed assurance was given that the Church was established for the last time, never to be destroyed nor again driven from the earth through apostasy. Men may come and men may go. but the Church of Jesus Christ of . Latter Day Saints shall go on forever. There has never been revision ruvr amendment in the fundamental law of tne L.nurcn, ana the only changes are those natural to develAnmunt and adaptation to new conditions. The world Is full of sects and churches, and there is scarcely one that has not a counterpart in the form of a revised or reformed or reorganised sect. Bat the- Charea of Jenas Christ of Latter Day Saints Is no serti it la aa original creation with the Lord, and when es tablished upon the earth la this age It was a restoration. There will never be a reformed or reorganised variant of this, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The faith of the Latter-day Saints is no whit weakened because of their few ness. This very condition was foretold. Nearly six centuriea before the Savior's birth, a Hebrew prophet on the Western Continent predicted the establishment of this Church in the last days, and testi fied of it, as he had seen in vision, that Its members would be found In all parts of the earth, but that their numbers would be relatively amalL See Book of Mormon, 1 Nephi 14.

For these reasons The Literary Digest was determined to find the views of the workers themselves. We accordingly sent' a letter to hundreds pf labor leaders throughout the coun try, and in order to make no mistake about it, we did not merely ask if the workers disliked, or dis approved the "Red" agitators we asked if they approved theirj deportation. In plain -language, should they be kicked out of the country? - A comprehensive summary of the 526 replies received' is given in THE LITERARY DIGEST for March 20th.
