Judge Rolfe before whom the applica- ton has been pending has been out of the city for some days and has not therefore passed upon the matter.

Chicago, Sept. 2a,-4A. NJ. Dublin Of
New York, a delegate to the American
Meat Packers Association, advanced
the novel idea today for conserving
the supply of meat in the United
States. 1t is the duty of the United
States, he said, to put the army at
work as cowboys after stocking the
government lands in The west with
cattle and thus supply the packers at
cost with beef and avert the threat
ened meat famine due in six or eight
years.
He said the suggestion is perfectly
simple and that the government lands
can be made into great pastures
Unless some action is taken he said
that there will be no meat on the
working mans. table In the next de-
cade. The lower price said would be
astonishing. He declared that some
had called the idea paternalistic, but
that ethics must not stand in the way
when actual famine is staring the
country In the face

FARM CREDITS,
PARCELSPOSTS
ANDGOODROAOS
Three Important Subjects
Were Discussed at Farm
ers' National Congress
Following an Address by
President in Opening Ses-
sion.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Plano, ILL.,, Sept. 23.-"There is a
great margin of expense somewhere
between producer and consumer which
leads to the justly founded complaint
of the ultimate consumer Of the high
cost of living" said Charles F. San
ford, president Of the Farmers Ma
tional Congress, in calling the thirty
third annual session to order today.
This Mr.. Sanford asserted leads to
confusion in the public mind as to the
real status of the farmer and the
profits arising from his occupation
During the last two decades" he
continued, "the agricultural industry
has not kept pace with the increase
Of population, falling behind 1873 per
cent; during this same period there
has come an extraordinary increase in
the valuation of farm lands until il Is
is no longer an easy or simple matter
for the average man to become the
owner OF well improved farm.
Moreover. the percentage OF tenant
farmers is steadily increasing, in some
states with alarming rapidity. It can
not be said with any show Of reason
that the growth OF q tenant class in
dicates a stable or desirable economic
condition.
without minimizing in any degree
the Importance Of efforts to increase
production and TO conserve the fer
ttlitv of the soil 1t may be safely af-
hrned that American agriculture will
never be permanently established until
It is made possible for 1t to become
permanently profitable for the farmer
Of average ability. While the man Of
exceptional ability or exceptionally IA
yorabie circumstances may become
wealthy by reason Of increase in land
values or good fortune in the yields
Of good crops, the stability Of agrcul-
ture and the ultimate prosperity Of
our entire citizenship depend chiefly
on the measure Of prosperity which
attends the labors Of the average
farmer in the average farm home
These conditions are with US and
while we strive continually to remedy
them wherein they are adverse, we
must in common justice to all men
strive TO make it reasonably possible

Jerome surprised the counsel for the

emphasized the fact that he was try

there was no indictment against him

FULL REVISION
OFFRAME WORK
CURRENCY BILL
1t Is Proposed By Senators
Reed, Hitchcock and Bris-
tow During Examination
of Samuel Intermeyer Be
fore Banking Committee
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington. Sept. 2s.-Complete re-
vision of the framework Of the ad-
ministration currency bill was pro-
posed by Senators Reed, Hitchcock
and Bristow during the examination
Of Samuel Untermyer before the SEN
ate banking committee.
Reed and Hitchcock have vigorously
assailed certain provisions of the
house bill. Today Senator Reed ad-
vanced what he called the Hitchcock
plan which would eliminate from the
proposed system the entire scheme OF
regional reserve banks and substitute
a government issue of currency to
individual banks on commercial paper
backed by q, so per cent gold reserve
up to 75 per cent Of the capital stock
of each individual bank. That would
be in addition to the present bank
note issue.
Senator Reed, in a long speech ad-
vocatfng the plan, criticized the re-
gional bank plan as making the indi-
vidual banks "subservient TO a corn-
bination Of banks" Mr.. Untermyer
opposed the Hitchcock plan as NOT
offering enough security to the gov
ernment for the issue of currency.
The committee was unable to con-
cIude the questioning OF MI Onter-
myer today and he will return Mon
day.
with prospects for extended discus
sion Of the administration currency
bill, the senate banking committee to-
day continued to hear Samuel Inter
myer Of New York, discuss the meas
,lre. Senators today believed three
weeks and possibly a month will pass
before the bill will be brought into
the senate.
Mr. Untermyer, while endorsing the
general principles of the bill, suggested
a number of amendments which he
thought would strengthen it, Many of
these evoked lengthy discussions be-
tween Mr. Untermyer and members
Of the committee.
