KERR'S PEIXCELY SALAHY
Salem, Or., Jan. 15, 'IS.
To the Editor: Wo have read' the
explanation tendered by the O. A. C.
board concerning the advance of
Kerr's salary and -while it relieves
Kerr in a great measure it certainly
places tho board in a deep hole from
which they will have hard work to
fxtricato themselves. They say that
Jhey had ample corroborative informa
tion that Kerr was urged to consider
the Kansas proposition at an advance
in salary, the contrary notwithstand
ing, but they fail to give, ns the source
f their information. The Kansas
board, the only body of authority in
this matter, declare it seems that they
never considered nor were asked to
'fonsider Kerr or even tallcd with
lira about it. Why don't our board
take the taxpayers into their confi
dence and give us their authority-
They say Kerr did not ask an increase
and that he had discouraged it and
said that he did not wish them to base
their action on the basis of any op
portunity he might have elsewhere,
and that his salary should not deter
mine his action; but in spite of this
they raise his salary $1400. Kansas has
much more wealth and population than
Oregon and her educational institu
tions certainly rank high. They pay
their president $0l00, while Oregon,
not content with $7000, mise Kerr's
salary to $8400. As he did not ask it
and said he should not be governed by
it then whv did they bestow $1400 of
the people's . money to his already
princely salarv? They say the laborer
is worthy of his hire. Well, $700 per
month, including Sundays, vacations,
visits, holidays, etc, is certainly pay
ing for his services and many of those
who are paving it are toiling day after
day and living scantily and not earn
ing a seventh part of this sum, and
ahculd ther make even $2000 they
would be compelled to pay war tax,
which the professor is exempt.
If all our officers in the various
Btnte institutions are paid according-
PUT CREAM IN NOSE
AND STOP CATARRH
Tells How To Open Clogged Nos
trils and End Head-Colds.
You feel fine in a few moments.
Your cold in head or catarrh will be
gone. Your clogged nostrils will open.
Tho air passages of your head will
clear and you can breathe freely; Ko
more dullness, headache; no hawking,
snuffling, mucous discharges or dry
ness; no struggling for breath at
night.
Tell yoiir druggist you want a small
bottle of Ely's Cream Balm. Apply a
little of this fragrant, antiseptic cream
in your nostrils, let it penetrate
through every air passage of the head;
soothe and heal the swollen, inflamed
mucous membrane, and relief comes
instantly.
It is just what every cold and ca
tarrh sufferer needs. Don't stay stuf
fed up and miserable.
h- then it is no wonder that our taxes
aro so high, but- unless I miss my
guess there wil be a hereafter when
!tho proper time arrives-
I A TAXPAYER.
Steamship Texas
Coming Into Port
An Atlantic Port, Jan. 17 The Am-erican-Hawatiian
' steamship Texan,
which was in collision with an unnam
ed vessel off the coast early Monday,
is proceeding to this port under fier
own steam, according to a message
reaching here today.
Tho Texan has a large hole in her
starboard side, two of her lifeboats
are gone and her steering gear is dam
aged, and one hold flooded. It is be
lieved that none of the crew was in
jured. Seems that a love affair was the
means which Sporemann, alleged Ger
man spy, was captured. Being a soldier
Sporemann probably contends that all
is fair in love and war and so will take
his punishment like a man.
Portland, Or., Jan. 17. Playing one
of the most sensational, although clean
est hockey games even seen on local
ice, the Vancouver Millionaires and
Portland Bosebuds wrestled for one
hour and twelve minutes before Lloyd
Cook, on his stomach, slashed the puck
through Tommy Murray's defense, sag
ging the Portland net for the winning
and only goal of the fast game. Leh
man and Cycline Taylor played a won
derful game, the latter carrying the rub
ber to the Portland net and although
not being able to net tho disc, made
the Portland defense men work harder
than they have ever before been called
upon to do. .
There was only one penalty issued in
the game and that only for three min
utes and was given to Duuderdait), the
Portland center by Keferee Ion.
Charlie Tobin once netted the puck
just after an offside and Ion's whis
tle informed the enthusiastic crowd that
it didn't count. This was the nearest
thing to a score that the Portlanders
could register.
League Magnates Meet.
Seattle, Wash., Jan. 17. Northwest
ern league magnates rallied around the
remnants here today for their annual
meeting.
Judge McCredie, the portly new Port

There is considerable talk among the
magnates of making the circuit an eight
club affair with a traveling team at
Camp Lewis.

couver, B. C, is ready to start another
season.

WHY REX FILMS ii i'id'lUE THEATERS
With Rex Beach's biggest produc
tion, The Barrier," about ready for
its first appearance in 8alem, au in
quiry as to why Rex Beach pictures
make so much money in picture thea
ters prompta an immediate reply.
Rex Beach is author of almost a
score of novels all of which have had
immense popularity with the Ameri
can public, several mii.-on copies ei
his hovelB have been sold in America
and hundreds of thousands in foreign
lands. In recent years besides having
popularity in novel form all of the
Rex Beach fiction has had serial pub
lication in the biggest and most suc
cessful magazines of the United States
England and Australia.
In addition to these two forms of
publication virtually all of his bigger
stories have been syndicated for pub
lication in the magazine sections of
thousands of American newspapers.
This of course means that millions up
on millions of persons know Rex
Beach's stories as well as they know
their own names. To be shown at the
Liberty three days starting Friday.
SENATE DEBATES SHARPLY
(Continued from page one)
notify them all by telegraph by to
night.
Dr. Garfield said the secretaries of
wr and the navy were to furnish him
with a list of industries to be permit
ted to run.
This class will include industries
producing immediate necessities for
war purposes, Dr. Garfield said.
"Why Iwas this closing order is
sued," asked Reed.
' This order is becnuso there was a
non-essentials long ago.
"If it had, there would have been no
need of such an appalling step," he
said. "If it is necessary, it is an awful
indictment of the fuel administration's
activities." -
Senator Cummins of Iowa said he
believed the step was necessary and,
therefor, proper.
Senator McLean, Connecticut, said
he would withhold comment until he
learned all the facts in the case. On the
face of it, he said, it looked like a
criticism by the fuel administration of
its own efforts.

WASHING WON'T RID
HEAD OF DANDRUFF
The onlv sure way to get rid
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retiring;
use enough to moisten the scnlp and
rub it in gently with ,the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most if not all, of your dandruff will
bo gone, and three or four more appli
cations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much dand
ruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus
trous, glossy, jjllty and soft, and look
and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive and nev
er fails to do the work.
lack of coal for domestic consumers
utilities l'urnishing heat, light, power the ways and means committee, was one
and transportation to the public," of the few who stood by the fuel admin-
Garfiold said- "This was duo to lack
of transportation facilities rather than
lack of coal. This was accentuated by
the recent severe winter weather.
Resolutions Introduced.
Washington, Jan. 17 Senators Hitch
cock, Neb., and Gallinger, New Hamp
shire, today introduced resolutions call
ing on Fuel Administrator Garfield to
delay for five days operation of his or
der suspending industries to save coal.
Both resolutions request action be de
layed that time may be given for pro
tests to be heard, investigations made
and information obtained" regarding
the order.
Senator Hitchcock asked immediate
adoption of his resolution.
"This thing came on us like light
ning out of a clear sky," said Hitch
cock. "It will throw hundreds of thou
sands, even millions of men out of
work and deprive them of wages they
vitally need. It will slow up production
of war munitions at a time when we 've
been straining every effort to have this
production going at full speed. It re
fers to plants operating by waterpower
and using ouly a small amount, or coai.
It shuts factories whose bins contain
coal to run them another month."
Senator Vardaman declared the reso
lution should be adopted to avert "an
actual calamity."
Congress was amazed ana puzzlea oy
Garfield's order.
Many members of both houses ex
pressed indignation at the order which
they termed calamitous.
Senator I'enrose, autnor or tno legis
lation under which the fuel administra
tion was created, thinks it unadvisable
to issue the order, which "will do mora
harm than good."
' It'll have to be shown tho need for
it,' 'he said. .
Senator Reed, Missouri, declared tho
order is a blow at effective conduct of
the war and maintenance of our indus
tiia! establishments.
"A practical mail of hard common
sense said to nio today: 'Why are fac
tories that have a supply of coal not
allowed to run until they exhaust it'' "
?aid Reed. "A highly educated man
never thought of that."
The belief was general in- congress
that Fuel Administrator Garfield was
not the real author of the order.
Many members of both houses open
ly expressed the conviction that the or
der was issued because Director General
MeAdoo has found it impossible to keep
pace with the coal demands with the
piesent equipment. The effect of the or
der, it ws pointed out, would be to
let the railroads catch up with the de
mand for coal-.
"It is the penalty of priority," de
clared Senator Harding of Ohio. " We
&ri getting a taste of war's denials. The
blunder of last year and the severity
of the winter have forced a different
situation. The country will protest, but
we have to make the best of it. I would
gladly make any denial to hurry out
of New York harbor cargo vessels held
up by bunker shortages. Wo pay for
blunders in the denials they force upon
us."
Senator Townsend, Michigan, declared
that the fuel administration should have
begun denying coal to producers of
istration
"It is the first battle we must fight
to win the war at home," he said. "The
procedure is so radical that tho neces
sity for the order must be great. The
proposition should be supported by the
people,
ois, of the rules committee, believes.
"The order will work incalculable
hardship and spread discontent," he
said."'
Minority Leader Gillett expressed op
position to the plan, but said he wished
to investigate the necessity for it.
Likewise, Chairman Sims and Chair
man Shirley of the interstate commerce
and appropriations committees were puz
zled at the order and doubted its neces
sity. ' ' The order will be positively paralyz
ing in its effect," Baid Representative
Mondell: "It may halt' war activities;
greatly hearten our enemies; strengthen
their determination, for conquest by
creating tho wholly false impression
But William n. Carter, Massachusetts that the coal supply of the United State,
who employs 2,000 men himself believes
the whole plan is economically wrong.
"If, however," he says, "the presi
dent declares the step is necessary ,tlie
New England manufacturers who will
be greatly effected will carry it out to
the letter."
"It is a great hardship and injustice
to labor," said J. P .Manor, chairman
of the house labor committee, 'nnd I
can't believe it is necessary. It will
throw thousands out of work who can't
afford it."
"The domestic consumer should have
coal," said Representative Madden, Il
linois, "but how is he going to get it
if he can't earn the money to buy iff"
The country's confidence in the fuel
administration was shattered
has failed, thus crippling all war in
dustires." DO MOTHERS ERR?
When we hear of so many school
girls and girls in stores and offices
who are often totally unfit to. perform
their daily duties because of some de

Senator From Marion
Having received request from Voters
all over Marion county, to make tha
race for state senator, and having
taken the matter under consideration,
I horoby announce my candidacy for
state senator, to the Republican voters
of Marion county. I don't think it
necessary to tell the people of this
county how I stand on Kcononiy, Re
trenchment, Reform, Reduction of
Taxes, and Cutting-out all useless com
missions where it don't impair tho
efficiency of the state institutions.
sfand on these matters where I have
always stood: for the interest of tho
State of Oregon and the taxpayers.
Having been a resident of this
county for 58 years, having been
elected a member of tho house twice,
and of the senate once, and served in
five sessions of tho legislature, I don't
think it necessary to announce any
particular flatform, for the-people of
this county surely know where I stand.
