President Harding today in the

Republican management of gov
ernmental affairs.
In appointing French Crow as
postmaster of Marion, Ohio; his
home city, by executive order. Sen
ator Harrison sa!d Mr. Hardtng
had "stamped" the law under
foot. The appointment, which
Senator Harrison announced he
would oppose and urge to be dis
cussed in the senate, was. he de
clared, "the moat glaring incident
in the history of civil service in
the United States."
System In Jtanger, Clafrn
"How can, followers of civil
service have any faith or confi
dence?" he asked. "This is the
beginning 5. of th destruction ot
the civil service system."
He also attacked Chairman Las
ker of tbe shipping board, declar
ing be had made statements re
garding its alleged economy of ad.
ministration which had not been
borne out and also criticized an
appropriation bill provision ex
tending the annual 125,000 trav

ident for use lor official entertain
ment purposes;
iTUflon Expense Cited
Chairman Warren of the ap
propriations committee, defended
the travel entertainment fund and
called attention to tbe expendit
ures abroad of former President
Wilson.
Senator Warren said that "some
millions of dollars" had been
spent by Mr. Wilson "and no ac-
eonnting made for tt .yet."
That Senator Harrison was
seeking to inject partisan politics
into the discussion was charged
by Senator Warren, while Mr.
Harrison countered with the
statement that Senator Warren
had raised the question of parti
sanship Caraway Joins Attack
"The civil service administra
tion also was attacked again toy
Senator Caraway, Democrat, Ar
kansas and others.
Senator Harrison said it was
"a farce the way postmasters are
appointed." Other appointments,
he added, were subject to the
same indictment. Without Re
publican political influence, he
declared, there was "no chance to
get a job under 'this administra
tion." This condition, be said, in
his opinion, resulted from orders
"from above."
Lower Price Than at Present
May Prevail in Spring,
Buyers Say
Farmers who are holding their
hay for a higher market are likely
to awake early in the Bprinc and
find the price depressed and no
market. This is the opinion of
several dealers who handle hay
The opinion is based on the fact
that while there is a Rood de
mand for hay at present. Linn
county has large quantities and
carload shipments are being made
from the Woodburn district.
Farmers within a radius of s'x
or eight miles have not been in
clined to sell at the present .open
market, and m a result buying is
done in the outside surrounding
territory.'
There is an abundance of hay,
dealers say, and too much on hand
to clean up before spring grasses
lessen the demand. However.

LOS ANELES, Feb.
Thirty members of the Inde

met here today and issued a
statement asking fair play
from the public in its consid
eration of conditions in the
motion picture, industry and
especially in the lives of the
motion picture people.
The statement follows:
"We do not ask for special
favors, but only for the Amer
ican principle upon which this
democracy was founded one
of fair play.
"The recent unsavory pub-i
licity that has followed the
wake of the demise of the
late William Taylor has re
suited in our industry being
maligned, mere rumor accepted-
as factr "end idle gossip
magnified into reality.
"Billy Taylor, needs no eu
logy. The life he led, was but
an indication of the true char
acter of the man who wal
struck down by an assassin'!
bullet.
"The police have given as a
theory that revenge accentu-
ated the -crime that resulted
in William Taylor's death, ex
oenrating the motion picture
industry or any of its persons
as being implicated.
"We are not rampant with
vice.

"The American public didn't at
tack all governors because of a
charge filed against certain

"The American public did not
attack all ministers because ot a
wanton crime, charged to a
preacher of the gospel.
"AH we ask Is that the publlo
bear with this industry and not
accept rumor aa fact.
"We are just normal beings.
We are not ethereal, and do not
want to be regarded as such.
"Our happy marriages far ex

as that of any other profession.
"We are law abiding citizens,
and we rear families.

upon us for we ate striving to

to assume through innuendo that
