two years ago as an ?s istant post
master general, later succeeding
Will H. Hays in the cabinet, will be
the successor to Albert B.'Fall. as
secretary of the interior, it was
learned authoritatively here today.
President Harding has informed
frieids that he intends transferring
Dr. Work to the interior department
and the news is expected to stop the
hoadlong rush tbat a dozen candi
dates have been making for the post,
mostly republican "lame ducks" de
feated in tha November elections.
Announcement of the change, how
ever, is being held up until Mr. Hard-
ing is ready at the same time to an-
nounce a new postmaster general.

FARM BUREAU
CENTER QF ATTACK
IN LOWER HOUSE
Proposal to Put Employment of the
Agents to Referendum is Ar
gued Pro and Con.
Lincoln, Feb. 5. Arguments that
the present law governing employ
ment of county farm agents permits
taxation by a minority occupied the
entire time of tne lower house of
representatives this afternoon.
The agents were rut under fire
& .-1w.. Kill inrnjliif'.'l w p0Trp.
sentative James Quinn of Okhorn,
farmer representative from Douglas
county, came up for consideration.
The bill provided that the question
as to whether $5,000 annually should
be paid a county- farm bureau agent
be referred to a vote by the entire
county. Strehlow of Omaha also had
his name attached to the measure. I
Wilson of Dawes asserted passage
of such a measure would sound the
jdfath knell to farm agents in coun- ,
Ities with large cities, such as Gage,
Lancaster, Douglas, Dodge and Mad- j
ison. j
Says Agent is Essential J
Bock of Butler backed Wilson's
argument and declared the farm
agent was a constant source of in- j
formation and encouragement
to
farmers, old and young. i
Quinn of Douglas explained the1
present law, which forces the entire
, county to support a farm agent if !
300 bonafide residents petition a '
coi:ity Ioard to install an a.c,eut. !
"Our government is democratic," :
Quinn said, "and it is utterly wrong
to permit a minority to ia:pose taxes
on us. I represent the country dis
trict in Douglas county ar.d I made
rcy campaign among the farmers on
this proposition. My opponent was
president of the Douglas county farm
bureau. I believe I am safe in saying
that the county farm agent isiTt
wautCi vy more than pcopia in
my district."
Claims Agents in Politics
"The farm agents in. Nebraska are
in politics head over heels," said Ja- j
coby of Lancaster. "This, despite the
fact that rules of the bureau are op
pored to their entering politics., The (
; county agent fought me tooth and
! to nail in the election and the presi- j
ulent of the bureau was my opponent, j
I "I can't see any fairness in the
: present system which in my county .
permits about one-thirtieth of the
pcpuJation to put a tax on the other .
twenty-nine thirtieths," Bailey of;
Thayer, a frraier. arr-trtcd. j
; Var.ce of Adams, proposed placing
.action on a senate bill which d?als
wirh the same alleged taxation by a
I minority.
! Tfce senate bill, which was report
ed to be having hard sledding, calls
for a petition for a farm bureau
based on population scale and in the
event that 2 per cent more rer.ion
Ftrite against the proposition than
.signed the- petition for the bureau, ;
its creation and taxation for it is '
taken from the county commission
ers and the matter is referred to ref
erendum. j
Staats of Fremont expressed re-j
gret that others vitally interested
hadn't been given an opportunity to
express their views and made a mo- '
tion that the house adjourn and post
pone consideration until a later date
, The Staats motion carried.
