FIGURES NOT TRUE, ASSERT SPFNCE MEN Declaration Made That Grange Member Told False hood and That He Violated His Obligation STATE MASTER TELLS OF MONEY RECEIVED Members Are Invited to Make Inspection of Records of Organization Editor Statesman: There appeared in the news col umns of your paper on June 5 the following article: . . "The fight against SDence is beinr made mainly from two angles, his in clination toward the Non-Partican league and the fa'-t. according to some of the opposition, that he 'makes his living off the job. A meager salary of $300 a year is paid the master of the State Grange, but while traveling on Grange business h eis allowed $4 a dav and expenses and the anti-Spence crowd says he travels all the time. It was declared In the corridors of the state house yesterday that Spcnce makes the po sition of mater pay him S3000 a year, and It was said fnrtber that he has never given any satisfactory ac count of Ms expenses.' We hops that you will give this statement of facts equal prominence that you gave the original article. The constitution of the Stat Grange provides that the master shall receive an annnal salary of $300 per annum; that he shall re ceive his actual traveling expenses when employed In Grange work. The past year the master received $225 for salary and $1 08."0 for expenses lA-ddItioii to this, the execctlve committee sent him to Washlnirton to represent the farmer of the state. to confer with the Food Administra tion regarding the- establishing of a price on Northwest whent. For this service he received $233. r.o for ex penses and $2 per day for twenty days, making a total for the entlrw rear of S0 This is every rent that the htaie Grange has paid the master for his year's services and " expenses, not withstanding the reports that may have cone out to the contrary. .These facts may be verified by. any memoer of the Grange who wishes to examine the secretary's books. Any state ment to the contrary is a malicious, wilful falsehood and made for the purpose of discrediting the organi zation, and u the person malting ims statement, as we have been led to believe, is a member of the Grange, he is not only guilty of uttering a malicious lie. but has Tiolated tne obligation taken when admitted to the order and ia unwortny or me re spect of any self-respecting citizen.

The figures In the statement came from the side that was endeavoring to defeat Mr. Spence for state mas ter as was clearly brought out in tno article. -The Statesman did not say the statements were true. did not and does not now vouch for their truth It is possible they mav not have been true.

PUBLIC SPIRITED WOMEN ' BOOST BARGAIN DAY Are Sending Invitations to Friends and Bel-tires to come to Sslexa and Visit them on Bargain Day, June 15. Merchants in high spirits over prospects for day of big brasiness, Next Saturday Is Bargain Dayman! the Bargain Day fever Is becoming more and more prevalent as the Day of Big Business approaches. Not only -are the merchants working tooth and nail In preparation for the event but the women are also backing up the movement by send ing invitations to their friends and relatives to bring their families and visit them on this day of all days for economical buying. This is one of the most encourag ing developments for th'e promotion of a successful day for whenever the women of a community stand back of a project that project is sure to be a success. The sending of these invitations is a movement in the right direction and It Is to be hoped that others will "get the habit and that nearly every home In Salem will entertain out of town friends on Bargain Day. One of the leading merchants, in speaking of last year's Bargain Day. said: "Bargain Day had man. pleasing features but what pleased me most was the large number of children who came with their par ents and . the general feel-at-home air that seemed to. prevail every where.' It Is to be hoped that even more of the out of town visitors will bring their families with them this year. That they will not only come for the bargains that will be offered bnt for a day's outing as well. They may rest assurM that the people of Salem will do their utmost to make th-lr visit enjoyable as well as prof itable." Evyone is talking Bargain Day. Wherever people mt It Is the fore most topic of conversation. Even the little children are looming Im bued with the Bargain Day spirit and have Invented a game which they plavfully call "Bargain Iay." Word Is beginning to come from every part of the district to the effwt that record j'brealcfng crowd will Journey here on Salem's Second An nual Bargain Day. Saturday. June IS.
