BAILEY Bitter
AGAINST PARTY
FORMER SENATOR DECLARES 1T
Is FILLED WITH DEMAcoGUEs
LAYS BARE HIS VIEWS.

Washington, D. c., April 3.-Declar
ing that his own party is filed with
demagogues who live one way al
home and talk another way on the
stump, who are too busy slicing out
Offices to think about the bigger ma.
tional questions, and who are not to
be relied upon to give the country any
adequate currency reform, former
Senator Joseph W. Bailey, OF Texas,
laid bare his views on his party, the
tariff, the currency and other things,
general and particular, in unmistaka-
Bile terms before the 1926 bankers who
attended the tenth annual banquet of
the Washington Chapter of the Ameri-
can Institute of Banking, at the Ra-
leigh.
The senator was preceded by Con-
gresham Henry D. Clayton, of Ala
bama, who declared the new admins
tration, in both branches of Congress
and in the White House, is closets to
the people and most sympathetic that
has been in power since the war. He
said Congress wants the advice Of
bankers on the currency reform ques-
ton.
Senator Bailey ridiculed the idea
"They will take your advice" he de-
clared, "and then they will settle the
question exactly opposite to your ad-
vice. The trouble is, there is not one
man in ten In Congress- who knows
anything about 1t.
Pays Respects To congressman.
Il used to think when l was a boy
that to be a Congressman was the
sign of a mans wisdom and ability
Since l have become to be a man l
have learned that 1t is more often a
sign of volubility than of real ability.
They act one way at home and talk q
very different way on the stump. And
you may as well put out of your minds
any expectation of currency reform by
the next Congress"
Senator Bailey said he did not think
the present currency system Ia nearly
as bad as some people believe. He
said If the Government would take
measures to prevent panics and pro-
vide funds with which to fill the void
in every solvent bank that is caused
by the modern Shylock's withdrawal
of his money at the time Of financial
depression. the present system would
be found to work all right.
81 would advise Congress and the
President" said the former senator,
mot to have anything to do with the
currency question until it has put
some good tariff laws on the books
Importation and manufacturing are
held in check waiting for the new
laws. The special session of Congress
should enact its tariff laws and then
adjourn to give the country time to
recover from the shock which will
inevitably follow. This is of the
greatest Importance, because If Con-
gress waits until fall to put those tar
III laws on the books 100000 men
will be walking American streets with
out work"
Clayton Predicts Settlement.
Congressman Clayton's address was
decidedly more optimistic than Sena-
tor Bailey's. He predicted a final set
Element of both the tariff and currency
questions by the present administra-
ton and Congress. and he based this
opinion on the fact that the Senate
has come closer to the people than
ever before.
He said the Senate has changed
greatly In fits attitude tward popular
issues within the last few years.

are all interested in what the South
has done during the last 80 years, they
want to know what you think about
the future. v
rs this growth going to continue?"
| is 1t going to continued" echoed
Uncle Sam with emphasis. well, l
am afraid to tell you what I think
about it; you might call me boomer,
or wild optimist, or dreamer. am
little particular about my reputation
for conservatism, but don't mind
saying that, in my opinion, this growth
is going to be far more rapid than it
has been in the last 80 years, and that
the South will make more progress in
the next 10 years than it has made in
the last quarter of century. Just
look at it a minute.
That section has come up out of
desperate poverty.
ut had more problems to solve than
any other people on earth ever met.
1T faced dangers of every kind at
home and away from home.
ut lost hundreds of thousands Of its
best men in battle and through immi-
grafton; yes, when we count emigra-
ton, it lost some millions of its best
people.
with its vitality thus weakened, 1t
had to meet and overcome difficulties
which ordinarily would have taxed the
virility Of the strongest people in the
world. To look for rapid improve
ment was like expecting a typoid pa
tient just beginning to get out of the
fever to run race or enter a prize
fight.
But weak as it was, the South ran
the race and out-distanced its competi- |
tors. 1t entered the prize ring, and,
though 1t got a lot of hard blows and /
was occasionally knocked up against
the ropes, it was always able to come
back. And it grew stronger every
minute instead of getting weaker.
1T has demonstrated it's ability,
even under these conditions, to do
what no other people ever did.
Now, 1t has accumulated lot of
money, lot of experience and a self
confidence born of its achievements
and its knowledge of its resources.
1T does not need to ask favors of
anyone.
1T does not have to beg for capital
to come and develop its industries.
at does not have to hunt elsewhere
for technical skill for agricultural or
affairs.
81 know your people are glad to get
outside capital and outside men to
come down and take active part in the
work, for there is room enough in the
South for three or four times as many
people as you have and for all the
spare capital of the country to find
the most profitable field in the world
Tor employment. But there is great
difference between having to beg out
side capital as you did for so many
years, and your present position Of
being able to say:
1--WE will welcome and protect your
capital; we will offer it the best OPP
portunities known to mankind, but we
don't have to beg you as we once did;
hundreds of millions are coming, and
yours can come, too, but it is up to
you to decide
"You know your section could easily
support 1O0.OOO.000 people, provide am
pie employment for them, furnish the
,oodstuffs to nourish the body and the
wool and the cotton to clothe them,
and still not half tax your resources"

1t was Shelley who said:

To suffer woes which Hope thinks infinite:
To forgive wrongs darker than death or night:
To defy power~which seems omnipotent;
To love and bear; to hope till Hope creates
From its own wreck the thing it contemplates;
Neither to change, nor falter, nor repent
This, like thy glory, Titan, is to be
Good, great and Joyous, beautiful and free;
This is alone Life, JOY Empire and Victory"

NEW PLAN FOR DISSOLUTION OF
 PACIFIC ROADS

San Francisco, May 15-The San Francisco Chronicle. publishes the statement today that the Union Pa cific Railroad Company has devised a new plan for the. dissolution of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific, and is prepared to submit 1t to United States Attorney General McReynolds. It is probable, says the newspaper. that the plan will be laid before the California Railroad Commission in formally within a few days, in order that a prior understanding with the commission may be reached before the details of the plan are made public. It is stated that the Union Pacific seeks principally the purchase of the Central Pacific.
 It is stated that the Union Pacific is willing upon certain conditions to withdraw it's previous demand for any exclusive privileges over the Southern Pacific property, thus opening the way for the Western Pacific and Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe to claim share of the business on the Benecia short line and a, share in the use of the i'm dustrial tracks thereon.
 In devising the new plans, however, it is said the Union Pacific cuts down it's offer for the Central by approxi- mately $12,0oO, ,oO0. It's original offer was $1O3, 900, coo
