Thq summer school was organ
ised' primarily' for tie- sake of of
fering an opportunit'yjfor practi
cal work to student teachers of

required that all gradjuaes of the
school hare some, practical work
Inteaching before they! , receive
their diplomas. Therel jaw fire

under the auspices of the Normal
scho'Jl in this state. .They are lo
cated M Monmouth, f Independ
ence, rendleton, , Corvallis and
Ashland. The school maintained
ut Salem is the largest by far of
any in the state.
vSalem is indeed fortunate 1, In
; having this fine" - school located
here. It not only brings 62. first
class citizens to the city for the
tnnmer months, but it affords
a fine advertising medium for the
. city inasmuch as these same J 2
teachers will in the fall - go to
" very part of. the state to. assume
their duties as, teachers in the
. various schools. ' .j.

"The Big Four Meat Packers
doing a business of two billion co
lars a year, are the largest food
combine In the world and do about
two-thirds of the business done by
494 meat packing concerns," de
clared Benjamin Marsh, ot
Washington D. " ci executive sec;
retary of the peopled, reconstruc
tion league and'former head of the
Washington "State Federation of
Labor, in speaking at the labor
temple last night.- -MThey aVe try
ing to hare the packers' consent
decree, which keptr them ' out of
unrelated lines, set aside so they
can again build up a monopoly in
any profitable business. ; Legisla
tion must be enacted to compel
the meat packers to , divest them-
seires of ownership of stock yards
and refri gerator cars, and vesting
administration of the meat pack
ing industry in the federal trade
commission, which can be made
to serve the people as in the past."
: 1 Mr. Marsh ' 'characterized' the
Mellon tax reduction )lan as an
effort to untax the rich and com
pel the Common people ' to pay
not only the current costs of fed
eral government but the costs ot
the war. Surtaxes on incomes must
be retained, he. said, pointing out
that one percent of the population
receives about one-seventh of the
national income and , two percent
of. the people about half of the
national wealth. . ' . ' '
"Our 'American Tax Reduction'
plan is to repeal the $600,000,000
of internal revenue taxes on tobac
co, 1 admissions to. movies, shows
- iff r .
and clubs, and on automobiles,
which are "'chiefly paid by those
with jncomes of less than $2000,"
he said. ' ' . .
"Duties on manufactured prod
ucts must be reduced, for the pres
ent protective tariff policy, is
breeding war,, smashing the fore
ign markets for tarjn ; products.
fostering inefficiency and profi
teering and costing farmers and
wage earners'at least' two billion
dollars a year. Farmers put at
least seven dollars into the pro-1
tection pool for every dollar they
can take, out and wages are low
est in most highly protected in
dustries. Protection is a rold
brick or both farmers and wage
earners. ' ''
"In r1922, the surplus and un
divided profits of manufacturers
of woolen and "worsted goods were
$177,822,946; of-manufacturers of
cotton goods, $334,370,815. while
manufacturers of metals and metal
goods paid in -dividends in 1922'
$850,315,219. :
-'"Congress must pay off at least
part of the $1,500,000,000 loss In
curred by wheat growers through

ing and since the war. . ;'
"In 1910 one third of the pop
ulation over ten gainfully occupied

ion. outraged by this action, can
compel President Coolidge to put
