ARMORY BOUTS MONEY FIRMS
HOLD PROMISE II 111
Card Scheduled for January
27 Contains Names
Of Good Men
HALL AND MULKEY HERE
Officers of Company F Con
fident That Program Will
Be One of Best
One or two changes have been
made In the program announced
for the Company F smoker, to be
given at the armory, January 27;
but most of the program stands
as it was first made out. The
boxers are working hard for the
event, and it promises to be the
class of the whole winter; per
haps the best card offered in Sa
le m for 'years.
The main event will be the prin
cipal change; the original mstch
would have brought a local middle-weight,
Hall, against Pollard,
a welterweight, through a misun
derstanding of weights. Pollard,
of Dallas, the welter, is rated as
a good; man, but the weights
wouldn't fit, so the management
has substituted Carl Miller, of Eu
gene, who will we:g"a in at 152
while Hall will make 155.
Miller Is Known. t
Miller, who appeared against
Syverson at 137 pounds, in the
last smoker, looks like the most
perfectly trained man seen any
where in any athletic event in Sa
lem for a long time; but In Hall
he is taking on a man who will
call for all the skill and endur
ance he can command. The crowd
that saw Miller in the last match
will be glad to see him pitted
against, a man of his own. weight;
they have a treat, in store. The
men go lor 10 rounds.
Syverson and Corlneu, both lo
cals, go for six rounds in the semi
final. They weigh respectively
13S and 132. Syversdn bas dem
onstrated an endurance and cour
age that would make him a fa
vorite with any Salem crowd. -
"Dubs" Mulkey and Edwards,
of Monmouth, will put' 03 a four
round exhibition match at 150
pounds. This is not' a finish event,
but is solely an exhibition bout.
Mulkgy may go on in a main
event, soon. If a suitable match
can be made- for him.
; Fraser and Bayes will go four
rounds at 145 pounds. There are
ahose who'd rather see Bayes than
most anyone else on the card, and
they expect to see a smashing con
test in this event. Spike Crossan
and an: unnamed "Red" opponent
are to 'meet for four rounds; if
the, unknown is a match for the
redoubtable Crossan,' this alone
would be a good evening's enter
tainment. A three round prelim
inary between "kid" bantam
weights will also he staged, mak
ing six bouts in all.
The evening's program will be
under the supervision of the box
ing commission, with Paul Hen
dricks fas referee, insuring hign
class conduct. There has been
much interest In boxing this win
ter, and it has been the belief of
many good sportsmen that enough
support ccruld b e enlisted If the
matches were carefully made ana
the right supervision given. The
present offering looks like a win
ner from start to finish, and II
this wouldn't please a clean
crowd, they wouldn't even appre
ciate a good - clean bawth or a
spotless handkerchief.

HITS FEDERAL BOARD
Mortgage, and. Insurance
Firms Ajcc'used of Having
Low Code of Ethics
WASHINGTON. Jan. 31 Farm
financing came to the front today
with the announcement by Secre
tary Wallace that he would lay
before the ; national agriculture
conference pext week charges that
certain companies loaning money
on farm mortages were taking ad
vantage of the present crisis to
charge "extortionate" Interest
rates. i
The agricultural department ai-i
so made public information it had
gathered showing that the banks
of the United States had outstand
ing approximately $3 869,891,415
personal and collateral loans to
farmers and '$1,447,482,926 in
farm mortgage loans at the end
of 1920.
Companies Arc Flailed '
"In all lines of business," the
secretary declared, "we find pred
atory Individuals who sek ontor
tunltles to take advantage of the
misfortunes of others. VVe expt
tha,t from men of a certain tree,
but it is a real -shock to note that
the same sort of thing is now be
ing done by some insurance com
panies and farm mortgage loan
companies of whom we have a
rleht to expect a higher code of
ethics." '
These charges, he added, did
not apply to all companies making
loans to farmers, for some be
said, were doing the right tbing
and helping the farmers all they
could. Others, however, he as
serted, "are taking advantage of
the farmer's distress to heartless
ly extort a rate of u Interest .nd
terms of loan which cannot be
justified." .
Indict Federal Koanl
Charles S. Iiarrett, president of
the National Roard of Farm or
ganizations and president of the
National Farmers union, also Is
sued a statement in which he 1e
clared that the government had
ditched the farmers because
through the federal reserve board
and other agencies, jt allowed ru
inous artificial deflation to bring
agriculture to its present deplor
able straits."
Real Issues for the conference.
he asserted, would bfe posslbl? on
ly If a plan is evolved, . through
with speedy aid would be given
the farmers "so that they can con

Many Fouls
Idaho won Jan .unquestioned
victory over the Bearcats. last
nlghi, the score standing, 14 to &
at the end of the first half, and
32 to 10 at the bitter end. The
game was certainly one of the
"foulest" ever player here; for
the visitors made eight foul bas
kets. and missed two. while Wrll
Lamette made two points by fouls
and missed two.
A. Fox was the chief scorer for
the Idaho team, with four field
goals and all the fouls, a total qt
16 points, or half the total tcafn
score. R. Fox . made three field
goals, and Thompson and Telford
each one; Garttia made two. Th
Bearcats bifnehed their baskets
rather more Dlmlck making three,
Socolofsky one, and Gillette two
points from free throws. ; .
Uncap Unchanged
No change was made in the
Idaho lineup during the game;
though they had in their "rsgn
lar" center, u Thompson, several
nones abovj six feet, and a clever
player as well; he did not play
Wednesday night. What they tried
to do by feeding the ball close to
the basket, would have run the
score up to 100 to 0 if It had
worked; but be made only two
baskets at that.
Bearcats Change Line. I
During the last half, Doney of
Willamette, went out and Dlmlck
took his place at center, while
Patton replaced Dimlck. Just be-
fore the close: of the game, Doney
went back in for Gillette, who had
had a bad facial contusion in: a
mix-up.
Ion P"abre, of Portland, was
the referee. He has been for ten
years with the Portland schools,
and is now physical director iof
the Washington and Jefferson
high schools.- He called an al
most incredible number of fouls
on the Bearcat players, .but the
crowd accepted It in a far more
gracious spirit than the decisions
In the first game. .
Xo -Rowdyism ;
There was sotn hard playing in
the game, and it wasn't all the
Bearcat players who spilled on to
the floor; but there seemed to be
no actionable, intentional rough
ness most' of the calls were for
technical violations. The loss 5 of
eight points on fouls, howevor,
was a heart-breaking blow to the
Bearcat morale. : .
Play Safeguarded
No other team of any slzeior
class, from yearling kids up to
'varsity size, has played as safe a
game as Idaho. The ball is likely
to stay away back for a long tijne
if necessary, until there is an I
opening for a close-up run-in and
shot; of the 12 field goals achiey-j
cd, not more than l wi were .'on
chance throws. The Ida&oans play I
with more care, or rather wfth '
more skilled placing and team Ex
perience than the Bearcats. They
have three letter men, the Fox
brothers and Thompson. J
Dimltk is Iicadrr
Pimiok played a, Bp.'ctacular
game for Willamette, and Logan,
though he did hot make a score,

were the stars for Idaho, both as

Close in First Half
Salem High won a clean-cut vic
tory over the Woodburn school
hoopsters last-night, at the Wood
burn hall. The score was 20 to
12, with the Salem team running
in a number of second-6trlog men
during part of the game, to give
everybody a vchance at outside
competition.
The game was fast and furious,
with the Woodburn team having
a good chance as shown by their
making it only 10 and 9 at the
end of the first half, followed by
a number of changes on the part
of the" Salem team. But the Tlsl
tors ran away with the bacon in
the second hal. scoring 10 points
where Woodburn made only 3. A
good crowd witnessed the game.

During the year 1921. licenses

county clerk, the sum of $9321.
Formerly, the county that is
sued licenses, received 5 per cent
of all money received from the Is
suing of hunters' and anglers' li
censes. But the legislature fig
ured that the county should not
have this money, and thus after
February 2 2,n 1921. all money
went to the sate. j
However; from January 1 to
February 22 of T9 21, there; was
received from the sale of licenses,;
the suLi of $1354.50, of which the
county, retained its 5 per cent,
amounting to $67.73.
From February 22, 1921 to
