PAGE TEN GRANGE HEADS T Salem Group Will not Give Jime for Discussion, - Slaughter States Slashing back at Dr. Albert Slaughter,- Portland naturopath, ' who la master : of the Salem . grange, O. F. Larson, master of the Woodburn grange, has made pub lic portions of th correspondence .between the two grange men re- .soectlng a discussion of employ- meat of a county agent before the . . Salem grange. Mr. Larson's letter A T. 01aHktsi A mi SI St follows: -Regardless of the attitude of members of other granges in tne eouatr. It Is a part of our pro cram to present the facts about comity agricultural agen work to , the Tarious subordinate granges. We are wondering, therefore. If you would not set aside a definite time at your next grange meeting lor the purpose of discussing this . coaaty agent Question. "It has always been my view . that I the grange was the proper place for the discussion oi sucn . eabjects as this, getting both sides of the Questions, after whieh a de cision is made. It does not" mat ter whether we all pee alike on this question or not, the lmport- ant thing is that our decision is made after we are In possession of the facts." , Reftues to Giro -afAtter Hearinc To this letter. Dr. Slaughter re plied to Larson, using his official tatlonerr. headed: Dr. Albert Slaughter,. Naturopath, Chronic and Acute Diseases, aiu umn ' Building. Portland: . ! ; , "I wish to Inform you that the Grange voted to not set asiae a . part of its regular meeting for the purpose, of boosting the county agent moremenc. 1 ne grange perfectly willing to discuss the subject of the county agent or any other permissible subject, but de clines to enter or approve any meeting where only one side is set : forth." The resolution which, according to Dr. Slaughter, was also unani mously adopted states In part, "Sa lem Grange No. 17 faTors the ful lest discussion of all ' permissible eabjects. it regrets that it must decline the request of O. F. Lar son, master of the Woodburn Grange. No. 1, to set aside a part ef tbe regular meeting of the Grange for the purpose of holding I a county agent booster meeting." "Dr. Slaughter In his customary fashion twisted and warped the meaning of my letter to him as I requested opportunity to present facts about county agent work and even suggested that both sides of the question should be given at tention before a decision is made," Larson said. Claims Subject is Proper for Grange ."From information that I hare, the Salem grange for some ten years bas been getting nothing but the opposition's Tiews on this county agent question and yet re fused to listen to facts about it for a period of 30 or 40 minutes. "As to the county agent ques tion being permissible for discus sion in the grange, as C. C. Hulet, State Grange Master says, county agent work Is a child of the grange. The congressional act establishing the work was passed . because of the support which the National and State granges gave to the measure. If the Salem Grange Is out of sympathy with ' county agent work and I do not believe they would be if personal ities and prejudices were set aside, . they are out line with the policies f the Oregon State and National Grange, Larson concluded.

Handsaker. associate secretary of the National council ,ior rreven- tton of war. In an address at Jason Lee M. E. churen last night. tWe are now reaping the sow Ins' of the hatred of the four fear ful! years of 1914-18 and only united effort will prevent a ca tastrophe compared with which the World war would be a sort of panic. , ; "During those four years the world slaughtered every day an average 6.500 boys. The Carne aie Foundation says we destroyed directly and indirectly more than thirty-seven billions of dollars. To kill one boy It cost the world 133.700 and we killed ten million at that rate. In our Insane stu pidity we thought we could cancel hate with more' hate but the ha treds engendered . by the 1 most skillful propaganda that the world has ever seen during four years is bearing fruit all over the world. "While any one would be de pressed by the danger of another war which President Hoover says would be the cemetery of civiliza tion I returned cheered by the ef forts that are being made to pre vent war. I visited the leading countries of Europe and in every one I found men-and women of good will trying to get the view point of their enemies and to break down in themselves and others the hatred that inevitably leads to war. "In Geneva I attended the as sembly of the League of Nations where were present seven prime ministers. 25 foreign ministers, ten other government ministers and hundreds of other statesmen and women earnestly endeavor ing to find a way out of the wreckage of hate left by the World war. "Through the International La bor office they are trying to lev el up living standards and thus remove the Jealousies that have sometimes led to war while at The Hague, the Court of Interna tional Justice Is ' offering an op portunity which many nations are eagerly taking tor the peaceful settlement of legal disputes which otherwise would lead to war. "It is not too much today to say that the world la in balance. Two philosophies are contending ror world wide adoption. One Is the philosophy of force and it has its sincere followers in every country including our own. The philosophy may be expressed in some such words as these 'we are a peaceful people; we cannot iron id outer nations, therefore we must build an armv and navy or wmcn tne Test of the world ill be afraid, and then we will have peace.' , The other philoso phy held, by equally patriotic -citizens in every country is that there are persons Jn every country whom yon can trust and coopera tion with these is imperative that the safety of all nations may be guaranteed. . ' "It is true that Russia, and Italy constitute two of the great question marks of the world and the New York Times recently 11st- ea ten not spots from which wars might come. My concern, how ever, is entirety with America, my country. Just as my concern wouia be with England were I an Englishman.

' If we eater the World Court as every president for thirty years and every secre tary of state for thirty years hare urged us to do we will take our place by the side of other nations who are -learning to substitute law and reason for violence 'in their relations with one another. - "If we enter the coming dis armament conference where the nations are trying to reduce not merely ' navies but air and 'land forces as well and throw all the force of - our great strength on the side of reduction there is lit tle doubt that other nations will agree to reduce their armaments also. : I find the other nations continually asking what will America do? On our decisions in the next few months may hang the issue of world war or world peace." Mr. Handsaker cited a number of Instances which had come un der his observation of the drift toward war and the building of barricades for peace. He urged his hearers to study the questions with open minds declaring that, as long as the lumber trade of Ore gon has been seriously Interfered with by the unnecessary Japanese Exclusion act, such questions are of Interest to such a community as Salem. Yesterday he addressed the Polk county American Legion at the Monmouth Normal chapel. He returned to his home in Portland this morning. wirntR DISEASES : PROTECTION TOLD Suggestions which will help wara on winter illnesses are contained in a recent bulletin from the state board . of health, as follows: A great deal can be done at this time of year to assure good health In winter.

Wednesday Morning, November 12, 1333 iJflHMIS Governor: Points cut Heed Of Program Here and For Entire State Asking that the Marlon -county i court increase its budget ap propriation, for the county health unit from $150 to the S1S.500 reiuested for If 31 .by the unit executive committee. Governor A. W. Norblad has. addressed a letter - to . the county court . In which he points out that unless the sum is Increased, the pro posed state-wide health program will be Jeopardized. - The governor's letter says: "I have been informed, by the dean of our medical school and the state health officer that the Commonwealth Fund will hold up this state activity until they find out what tbe people of Mar lon county are-going to do at this time. They feel . that after all they did in Marion county and all the ' money they spent and all the results In diminish ing sickness and saving ' lives, that if tbe people of Marion eonnty are not appreciative enough to continue the good work, there is little hope of put ting in the state-wide program. Thinks Majority Favors Program -"I have gone to some pains to investigate this matter and I can assure you that the. better class of people and the majority of people of your county and all of those people who are Interested in the general welfare are an xiously awaiting your verdict. . "I feel and I know that many interested in such matters feel with me, that if your body falls to properly appreciate the situa tion, and tails to carry out the necessary - program which calls for such a small additional sum, that, you will be slapping the Commonwealth Fund squarely in the face. But of much greater Importance, you will be doing a material damage not only to the people of your county, but to the people of Oregon. Court Expected To Oppose Raise "In - my opinion, nothing you can do will better add to your reputation as a wise' county court than to support the Mar ion county child health ' unit to the extent that they ask." While .the county court has not yet made . Its budget for 1931, the general Indication is that the members do not want to raise the health appropria tion. The city of Salem has been asked also to Increase its quota from $8,400 to $10,500, while the Salem school board, other large contributing' agency. was not asked to make a raise over its $8000 expended last year. Judge J. C. Siegmund of the county court Is chairman of the executive committee 'of the child health unit. The committee has unanimously endorsed the pro posed 1931 budget of the health unit, but the question remains where to get the increase.
