ARMY TRUCKS FOR ROAD WORK

The government has apportioned so
many army trucks to each state, and
the state in turn has apportioned
them to the counties. Harrison coun-
TVS quota is three trucks, the first of
which was received Friday. 1t is a
Nash Quad with steel body, and weighs
1000 pounds. These trucks are to be
used in road construction by the var
ious counties and are surely a great
help in road building.

WILSON ATTACKED
FOR EUROPE TRIP
BANKER THINKS THE PRESI-
IDENT SHOULD BE LOOKING
AFTER HOME TROUBLES.

misunderstanding at the first
annual convention of the Mississippi
Valley Association today, attended
by 500 bankers and business men,
representing twenty-five states, H. H.
Merrick, Chicago banker and presi-
dent of the organization, criticised
President Wilson for going to Europe
and leaving the United States with
out governmental leadership during
the most critical period Of reconstruc-
ton period. He also attacked the
national administration for its al
legged failure to formulate definite
policy toward business. Mr.. Merrick
appealed to business interests to take
a more active part in political and
governmental affairs.

in their proper place." said Mr.. Mer-
rick, "but ] 60 not believe that place
is in the direction of the policy of the
United States that bears upon my
life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

to Washington to direct the stabiliz-
ing Of prices Of steel, iron and coal
and other primary products and then

agree for the country?' The secre-
tary of war and the director of rail
roads won't agree. | say it is all
wrong.
Let's Settle Home Problems.
Eve cannot settle the troubles of
the world until we can settle those
at home. Let us settle these great
big problems at home. If this coun-
try was not so yirile and strong we
would have the worst panic that this
world ever saw right now, because
we haven't any head. The Victory
loan is moving magnificently. The
bonds are being sold because labor is
employed, business men are making
money and the banks are happy and
feel that prosperity is with us despite
the fact that officially all the United
States is in France. We are doing
our job here at home 100 per cent.
Are they doing it as we'll abroad? l
don't think so. think some of them
had better come back and find out
how we do it here.
"Who gave the peace delegates
authority to represent us Congress
is not in session. Business men have
been complaining about many things
but nobody does anything. 1t is time
to act. We must let the bureaucrats
at Washington know that they must
attend to their business"
Mr.. Merrick criticised the United
States shipping board for selling yes
sells built by money obtained by the
sale of liberty bonds. He said the
ships might be sold to foreign coun-
tries.

FOLK
SEEKING INJUNCTION
PROPERTY OWNERS ASSAIL OR
DER TO VACATE LAND FOR
BIG ARMY CAMP.

A petition asking that an order
be issued restraining Fort Benning
authorities at Columbus from fore
ing tenants and property owners in
Chattahoochee county to vacate their
land without any agreement for COM
pensation is being heard in the Unit
ed States district court today before
Federal Judge William T. Newman.
Twenty thousand acres of land are
involved. This is said to be decided
ly the best part of Chattahoochee
county, and comprises about three
fourths of the county's tax values.
Formal notice to vacate the land
adjacent TO the camp site was is
sued last December by Colonel Eames
without an order from the district
court, it is claimed in the land own
ers' petition.
Conditions DemoraIized.
As a consequence, it is declared,
labor conditions have been democrat
lied, without assurance that farmers
may be allowed to gather their crops
on the condemned land, or be given
any payment for their property.
Plaintiffs pointed out that military
authorities moved in the transaction
under an act of congress, providing
that "when property for military
purpose is acquired in war time, or
menace thereof, immediate posses
sion may be taken and the land oc-
cupied upon the filing of petition
of condemnation of the land" A re-
vised statute provides that no public
money be paid for such land until
after the attorney general shall have
given a written opinion of the title,
and the state has consented to such
use.
1t was pointed out in the petition
that the war time emergency had
passed, and that the authorities no
longer could proceed under these
acts.
Ordered to Move.
Plaintiffs set forth that after is
suing orders to vacate land in the
military zone the Benning authori-
ties followed this up with peremptory
demands for the tenants and owners
to give up their property. and would
make, the petition declared, no agree
ment toward compensating the own
ers.

ACREAGE REDUCTION
URGED BY FARMERS
NATIONAL ORGANIZATION AS
SERTS SOUTH WOULD PROFIT
BY DIVERSIFIED CROPS.

Removal of government restric-
tions on the marketing of the cotton
crop and reduction in acreage plant
ed to cotton were urged at the
meeting of the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative Union of America
recently in session at Denver. Speak
ers pointed out that more diversi-
fed farming plan would aid in de-
velopment Of the South, which has
been handicapped by combining farm
ign operations to cotton.
Severe Restrictions on Cotton.
A report by the committee on cot
ton and cotton products, read before
the convention, said: There have
been more severe restrictions on cot
ton ever since the beginning of the
war than on any other farm product
and more of those restrictions remain
in force than on any other farm
product. Even today there are re-
oCA ASGlOllo vi IlG u clQS WIFI U uE dIll6S.
The neutral and allied blockade COM
mittee doles out cotton as that com
mittee designates is their adequate
need. To enemy countries it is on
cotton alone that an absolute embar-
go remains.
with these facts as basis we
fell justified in asking our govern
ment to make every effort to have
these restrictions removed at the
earliest possible moment"
The report also advocates a re-
duction in the acreage Of cotton, de-
claring that the South had been
brought to industrial slavery by de-
pending upon one crop. The commit
tee asked the cotton growers to re-
duce his cotton acreage and erect a
hen house, pig pen and COW lot so that
there would be other sources for in
come besides cotton.
Sold Below Cost.
The committee reported that last
years cotton crop was being sold at
price below cost. 1t also declared
the price of finished product was out
of proportion to the cost of raw cot
ton and compared a price of 26c a
pound for cotton with Sc a pound for
cotton bingham. The report asserted
the difference could not be explain
ed away by the cost of manufacture

WARNS THE PEOPLE THAT THEY

MINERAL WELLS, Texas.-Con-
gresham Thomas l.. Blanton, of Abb
lene, speaking at the National Good
Roads Convention, said the people of
the United States must awake to the
danger that impends to their liberty
because of the attitude of Samuel

hundred millions of money of the peo-
pie and the railroads and give it to
the members of the big four broth
erhoods; that when congress had pass
ed a bill to compel government en-
ployes to work the eight hours for
which they were being paid he had
forced Wilson to axe that bill by
a strike in the midst of
the war. Congressman Blanton de-
clared it is his belief, founded upon
his experience in congress during the
war, that socialism is nothing but I'M
ionism, and unionism is in with APP
piled socialism. He asserted that
100000 men are now held in the
army camps in the United States be-

ground that rapid rehabilitation
