SOCIETY OF EQUITY
WITH 100000 MEMBERS ACTS
-PROMOTER MAKES
GOOD THING.

indianapolis. Feb. 24-Aiming at
dollar wheat" and high prices for all
other agricultural products, a strike of
200, 900 farmers composing the Amer
ican Society of Equity, an organization
with headquarters in indianapolis, has
been called for March 1. Every one
who responds to this call will agree
to withhold from market all agricultur-
al products except at prices that are
up to the level that has been decreed as
equitable by the officials of this organ
ization.
Passed to Wheat Growers.
The word is being passed through all
the wheat growing states, and the re-
sponse that is being made is said to
be causing considerable concern to
market men and spectators. A rep
resentative of a recognized authority
in the wheat trade is in Indianapolis,
trying to ascertain what response the
call was receiving.
The organization asserts that the
producer should get at least 81 bushel
for wheat, no matter what may be the
size of the crop. 1t is declared that
the price of any agricultural commo-
dity can be controlled by controlling
the market. The call for the strike
sets forth minimum selling price on
all farm products. prices which the
agricultural strikers say they are en-
titled to and can get if they stand to-
gether
Hinges On Two states.
Kansas and Minnesota are being
flooded with copies of this call. 1t is
figured that if these states hold out
for the higher prices the trick will be
turned, as Minnesota raises big per
centage of the spring wheat crop and
Kansas produces controlling percent
age of the winter wheat crop.
The combination is fathered by j. A.
Everitt of this city, who has been

IOWA LEGISLATURE AUTHORIZES
GOVERNOR TO CALL FOR
CONVENTION OF
STATES.

Des Moines, Feb. 24-After five
hours debate, which was more acrimo-
nious and personal than any heard for
years in the Iowa legislature, the SEN
ate yesterday adopted the Lewis reso-
luton. authorizing Gov Cummins TO
call a convention of representatives of
the several states of the union in July
to devise means to secure amendment
to the federal constitution so that
United States senators may be elected
by the people instead of by the legis-
latures.
Opposition Dwindied.
The opponents of Gov. Cummins
made a fight to prevent the adoption
of the resolution. They made vigorous
speeches against it. but at the end, it
being clear that the resolution would
carry, only nine senators voted against
it, 13 being absent and % voting for it.
Nearly All states for Change.
All but two of the states of the union
have declared in one form or another
for the popular election of United
States senators. In 81 states the decla-
ration has taken the shape of formal
action by the legislatures in resolu-
tions communicated to congress. In
the cases of all the other states but
two the expression has been recorded
in the votes of their representatives
in the lower house of congress on the
five occasions when resolutions favor
ing the election of senators by direct
vote have been adopted by that body.
Have shown Dissatisfaction.
Dissatisfaction with the present sys-
tenn is indicated by the action of one
third of all the states in providing for
an expression of popular opinion on
the choice of senators through prima-
ries, though the vote in this manner
is extra-constitutionaI, and has no le-
gal effect.
