Early last month it was ascer tained, that the administration al lowance of 10 per cent based on receipts was not big enough to meet the department payroll. The rather sudden decrease in revenue la' attributed in the main to the closing down of war Industries, to the effect of business depression on the lumber industry and to a general reduction in wages amony many, industries. AH employes who are dropped from the department are given 30 days' notice. Pioneer Fatally Hurt By Fall From Windmill EUGENE, Ore., Aug. 22. J. F.

ASSAILED FDR Senators Borah And LaFol lette Assail Executive For Address Against Soldier Aid Bill SENATOR LODGE DEFENDS ATTITUDE OF HARDING Republican Party Pledged Bonus Legislation, Idaho Man Contends WASHINGTON' Aug. 22 Pres ident Harding's appearance be fore the senate last month in op position to passage of the soldier bonus bill started a storm of debate in the senate tonight when the shipping board deficiency bill was being considered, during which his course was criticised and defended. The discussion was started by Senator La FoHette, Republican, Wisconsin, who re ferred to the resolution introduc ed in the house by Representative Cockran, Democrat, New York, criticising the president for ad dressing one branch of congress on pending legislation, and flrew many senators into the fray; , ' Precedent Cited. Senator Lodge, the Republican leader, called attention to the "peace without victory" speech of Former President Wilson to the senate prior to A mericaa- en trance into the war, and his ad dress on the suffrage amendmeut later. -It would be a sad day, the Massachusetts senator said, for the republic when anyone of the three branches of the govern ment could not confer with an other. Judgment Surrendered. Declaring it was not necessary to "eulogize Mr. Harding," Sena tor Borah. Republican, Idaho, stid that on the question of the bonus "wo surrendered our judgment to his dictation." If Ihe presi dent wanted a precedent, there were plenty, he declared, adding that this did not change the situ ation. Mr. La Follette assailed the president for what he described, as executive Interference with the legislative branch of the govern ment. He asserted that the pres ident was brought into the debat to prevent passage of the bill, and that hi3 action was without authority under the constitution. ? "Is Rlaofc Tage." "It were well if that black page in the senate's history could be destroyed and forever forgotten," Mr. La Follette declared. "It was remarkable that alarm should seizu the president's mind when the soldier bonus bill was pend ing and appear at the senate to rescue the nation's finances from utter destruction." Mr. Lodge declared he saw "no reason for debarring" the presi dent from congress and Senator Knox. Republican, Pennsylvania, interjected: "And I see no reason why con gress should be barred from th-s White HousR, as has occurred in the past eight years." Mr. Lodge also cited numerous constitutional provisions which he said gave the president full au thority to address either branch of congress at his pleasure, say ing that it would be impossible for the president to speak to both houses if only one were la ses sion. Asserting that he never had heard " such a violent de nunciation oft Wilson," as had been directed at Mr. Harding, Senator Kellogg, Republican, Min nesota, said he was unable to understand the reason for it. Mr. Borah explained that ho was in full accord with the pres ident on the bonus question, but that his criticism , was aimed at the appearance of a) president, whether Mr. Wilson or Mr. Hard ing. "Pitiable Spectacle." "I am unable to find anything like it prior to the Wilson ad ministration," h said. "With all due respect, I know of no more pitiable spectaple ever presented to the people than that of the senate throwing down the bonus bill 'after It had een reported and the president hall come here to oppose It. It was because he came here that ' we surrendered our Judgment to bis dictation. "The Republican party had made a solemn pledge for enact ment of bonus legislation.

ATE III - m K3I I11EDI NECESSARY TO SAVE Action this week in spraying the elm trees of the city to save them from the beetle pest that has invaded the city is absolutely imperative, declares Charles A. Park, president of the state board of horticulture. And while there is ho authority for any city department to take over the work the feeling among those who are familiar with the ravages of these insects is that something should be done, and that at once, whether it isby the citizens singly or collectively. Speaking of the situation Joint ly, Mr. Park said: "The elm tree3 around Salem were defoliated 0 few weeks ago by the elm leaf bettle. The trees are now putting forth new leaves. I wish to call attention to tlie fact that the second generation of the elm leaf beetle is now now laying eggs, which in five or six days will hatch out the smalt worms 1 that cause the greatest damage. "To control this pst and save the elm trees, the foliage of the trees should be sprayed this week with a solution of commercial ar senate of lead at the rate of tftree PHOTOGRAPHER SI INDEPENDENCE. r .
