Scheming to Get Exhorbi-
tant Prices.
RETALIATION PLAN is

To Force Break in Prices
They Are Now Importing
Grain From the West-Visi-
BILE Supply Is Small.

In the belief there is movement
on the part of the farmers to hold
their grains for exorbitant prices,
some of the dealers of this city have
undertaken to retaliate by shipping in
grain from the west. The dealers say
they do not intend to bow to the de-
mands of farmers of this vicinity and
pay the prices demanded. They claim
they can ship in corn, oats and other
grains and sell them at retail at more
profit than can be gained by buying
from the farmers. 1t is asserted the
farmers are expecting to secure 81 for
corn and Is to so per bushel for oats
next spring, so are saving their sup
ply. The expected failure of the
| wheat crop is said to be the reason
for this attitude on the part of the
| farmers
Visible Supply Small.
1t is claimed the visible supply of
grain in the hands of local dealers is
very small. 1t is so small in fact as
| to approach real famine and the
| dealers are not buying more. Farm
! ers refuse to sell any large amount
at time and it is asserted in the past
| few weeks no larger quantity than so

duce many farmers to sell such small
quantities they might get along with.

/ e, 80 w. sc h~
| are not selling any portion of their
| grain reserve.
Profit is Too Small.
| The demand for higher prices than
the dealers say they can afford to
| pay and make money is the cause for
this condition. The farmer generally
will not contract to sell his corn foI
less than 90 to 81 cents a bushel. The
dealers are selling the corn at Il
cents bushel and they say that with
but a margin of to cents profit a
bushel they can not exist. The de
mand of the farmers is greater thar
they could get for their produce II

The same condition prevails in re
spects to the oats market. The deal
ers claim it is almost impossible 1e
purchase any large quantity from the
farmers unless a price the dealers re
gard too high to admit profit is paid
For instance the paying price of the
dealers is 10 cents a bushel and theil
retail price 60 cents. Many farmers
are asking 81 and 60 cents per bushei
The only explanation given by deal
ers as to why the farmers are asking
such price is that brokers at Toledo
and other markets are paying 81 cents

dress in Support of the Lo-
cal Optionists.

Before an estimated audience of L.
600 representative citizens, Judge A.
z. Blair of the common pleas court of
Portsmouth. Ohio opened the cam
paign for local option for Wayne
county at the Gennett theater yester-
day afternoon. 1t was the first public
meeting of the campaign locally and
the advocates of county local option
who brought Judge Blair to this city
are very much pleased with the re-
suits. In order that argument may
be advanced by others who have ex-
perienced the effects of county local
option. addresses will be made each
Sunday from now until election. Feb.
5. Mayor Brenan of Xenia, Ohio will
be here to address a mems meeting at
the Gennett theater next Sunday af-
ternoon. according to announcements
made. A mass meeting of women will
! be held Sunday afternoon at Reid
Memorial church.
Judge Blair proved to be very
pleasant eloquent and forcible speak

spent but two with his family, the re.

speech, stating that he was glad to

FLOOD BILLS NOW TO
DESCEND ON ASSEMBLY
Metropolitan Police Law Re-
peal to Be Pushed Through
In a Hurry-Joint Senator
iaI Caucus Wednesday.
Palladium Bureau.
indianapolis. Jan. H.

It is expected now that the legisla-
ture will get down to business and
begin to do things at pretty rapid
rate since the inauguration of Cover
nor Marshall has been held and he is
now in office. Before the session of
the legislature opened there was a
tacit understanding between the DEM
ocratic leaders and the republican
leaders that no bills would be intro
duced and no business transacted un-
til after the governor had been inau-
gurated and that accounts for the lack
of important events during the two
days that the so1ons were in session
last week. 1t was thought at first
that a resolution would be adopted
making an appropriation to cover the
cost OF the session, but even this was
not introduced.
Flood Of Bills Expected.
Now, however, flood of bills is ex-
pected to descend on the two houses.
1t may begin this afternoon. but it
will more likely open tomorrow.
There is no question but that the
democratic members of the two
houses will begin early to shoot in
bills to conform with the recommends
tions made by Governor Marshall in
his message. The governor made some
important recomme ndations and on
some OF them he is likely to have sup
port from both sides, while others will
be fought strenuously by the republi-
cans. Both sides are committed to
the plan for the creation of a state
bureau of inspection of public offices
and for the uniform system of book
keeping in public offices. While this
was not political measure during
the campaign, nearly all of the mem.
bers of the two houses have declared
since the election that they are in
favor OF such plan and that they will
support it. Therefore, there is good
reason to expect that these bulls will
be passed.
Police Law Doomed.
The metropolitan police law is an.
other that viii be pushed through in
hurry, according to present indica
tions. 1t will be remembered that a
repeal bill was passed at the last ses
sion when both houses were controll
ed by the republicans, and now that
the senate is republican and the house
democratic. and for the further rea
son that Governor Marshall has re-
commended the repeal. it is believed
that repeal bill will have easy sail
ing this time
Important changes win likely be
made in the cities and towns law, the
purpose being TO reduce the expenses
of conducting the city government
The cry for these changes comes from
republican cities and democratic cities
alike and is not a partisan matter
Both sides seem 10 favor the changes
Reduction OF expenses all along the
| line is 10 be the ruling spirit during
| the entire session and it looks like j,
/ is going TO be popular.
Senatorial Race Near End.
The next fwo DAYS will likely see
some very strenuous work done amons

Investigating Sutton's Death.

had ever made any admissions to Mrs.
