McNary-Haugen Bill Is Endorsed.
Morrow County Has Big
Delegation,
The wool industry of this county
was well represented at Pendleton
last week when the 27th annual con
vention of the Oregon Wool Growers
association met in that city, this
county having the second largest del
egation, ranking next to Umatilla
county in point of numbers in at
tendance. The meeting was a most success
ful one and many men of prominence
in the sheep industry were numbered
among the speakers.
That the sheepmen realize that
their own properity and that of the
state and nation Is closely allied with
that of their farmer-neighbors was
evidenced by the fact that, follow
ing a ringing address by Charles J.
Brand, for many years chief of the
bureau of marketing of the depart
ment of agriculture, strong resolu
tions were adopted urging the pas
sage of the McNary-Haugen wheat
marketing bill, Mr. Brand, by spe
cial request of the sheepmen, devot
ed most of his time to a discussion
of this measure.
Other resolutions adopted lnclud
ed an endorsement of the truth in
fabrics bill, opposition, to the pro
posed increase in rental on summer
range landjjn the federal reserves
and a uniform system of assessing
shejep for taxation purposes in the
state. -The
railroad side of the transpor
tation question was discussed by
Judge C. A. Reed, of Seattle. Mr.
Reed is assistant to the president of
the Northern Pacific railroad. The
speaker declared the railroads are
subjected to too much regulation by
statue and government and If some re
lief is not given there will be an in
evitable crash of railroad companies
with the only outcome government
ownership and operation.

PENSYLVANIA MAN ROUTES
FOUR KLAN MEMBERS
McDonald, Pa., Feb. 1. Four Ku
Klux Klan members, who visited the
home of Andy Henry, in Barr street,
about 9 o'clock Saturday night to im
press upon him the fact that he was
somewhat lax In their opinion in his
conduct, were put to rout completely
by the effective manner in which
Henry wielded a poker.
Henry was in the kitchen of his
home in his stocking feet when the
four Klanamen wearing their hoods
walked in upon him 1 unannounced
and the spokesman startedHto deliver
his message. The speaker extended
one of his hands, which was com
pletely covered by his flowing robes.
Thinking the klansman probably
had a revolver, Henry grabbed a
poller and commenced to wield it in
self defense. He struck the extend
ed arm otf the spokesman and ren
dered him hors de combat with one
blow.
Continuing his attack on-the other
three, Henry knocked the hood off
one an?T hit anbther. Not prepared
for such a reception, the klansmen
beat ar hasty retreat with Henry in
pursuit.

Spending the Railroad Dollar
What becomes of the railroad dol
lar Is interestingly explained in Pres
ident C. R. Gray's monthly talk,
which appears elsewhere in this is
sue of The Herald. Using round
figures only, 44 cents goes for
wages and salaries, 9 cents for fuel,
26 cents for other operating expen
ses, 1 Vi cents charges) and 1 V cents
for stockholders.
In the five years between 1317
and 1922 the gross earnings of the
railroads increased, according to the
statement, $1,567,000,000, but, says
Mr. Gray, this amount and more too
was paid out again, $918,000,000 in
added wages to railroad employes,
$5,000,000,000 in added cost of ma
terials and supplies, $135,000,000 in
added cost of fuel, and $122,000,000
additional for taxes, leaving none of
the increase for the stock and bond
holders.
