BEGIN PLANK
DRAFT TODAY
Tentative Ideas Submitted to
Delegates at Open
Hearings.

CHICAGO, July 1.-The Com
mittee of Forty-eight today took up
the task Of drafting platform which
will be acceptable to all liberal and
radical factions at present engaged
in preliminary work Of organizing q
new political party. The success OF
the movement is believed to depend
almost entirely upon the resolution
committee's ability to draw UP such
a platform.
Open hearings are to be held
throughout the day. ut which repre-
sentatives of all the various groups
invited, together with independent
tEhssalArs will present tentstive
planks for consideration.
PLAN JOINT SESSIONS.
Among the organizations to be
heard are the Nom Partisan League,
the World War Veterans, the Single
Tax party, the Public Ownership
League, and the Triple Alliance Of
Washington State, which includes
farmers, laborers and railway work.
ers.
The resolutions committee OF the
Labor party, which opened its con-
vention today, is to hold joint session
later with the resolutions committee
of the Firty-eighters. George l.. Rec
ord, of New Jersey, Is chairman OF
the latter body.
Both laborites and the single
takers served notice that unless the
Forty-eighters' platform embodied ell
of their principles they would refuse
to join the proposed coalition party.
After holding Joint conferences for
several days, representatives Of the
Committee Of Forty-eight and the
American Labor party split on the
question Of naturalization OF mines.
The laborites held out hatly for na-
ixa tion, while the Forty-eighters
clung to a semi-single tax proposal.
1t is expected that an effort will be
made to resume the joint conferences
as a result of the Committee of
Forty-eight electine ten additional
members to their representative group
at the opening OF their convention.

The Washington times., 1920-07-11

The Russian government, which
some csll murder, others a dream,
others robbery of the rich, said in
its first announcement that it
would "cure an the troubles Of
mankind"
"Preposterous," you will say,
and so it is. Time and education
only will cure ALL the troubles
Of mankind.
But Russia, whether failure or
success is to come, has tried one
thing Knocked by everybody that
should not be Knocked.
They are trying in Russia to
give the power of government to
the people that actually FEEL
the troubles Of life.
Under the old system, nothing
made any difference to the Car.
Eighty per cent of his subjects
could not read, but HIS children
had the best tutors.
Thousands Of defenseless Jews
were butchered by drunken peas
ants driven on by brutal religious
hate. But the Gar and his family
were thoroughly protected by
secret police and a great army.
Noble men and women died of
cold and hunger in Siberia, but
the Cars palaces were warm,
and his religious advisers told him
he was doing the right thing. He
was no worse than millions of
other men. But he could not
FEEL or know what his people
suffered. He felt and knew event
ually, when the people had stood
all they could, but then it was
too late.
The Russian plan undoubtedly
will fail, for the moment at least,
for those in power, sympathizing
with the poor today, will soon for
get or no longer know what the
poor suffer.
Poverty usually means incom-
potency.
The individual or the class who
cannot rule or protect himself
cannot rule or protect a nation.
Therefore, while misery in its
despair may seize government, 1t
cannot hold or carry it on.
However, Russia, like France be-
fore her, really has made an effort
to provide a government that will
work for the millions, understand
them and help them.
Temporary failure may come of
it, as in France, where empire and
monarchy followed the revolution.
But good will come of it and sue
cess at last, as also in France.
In this country our trouble is
That the perplexities, worries, daily
problems Of ninety-nine millions Of
human beings do not actually in
Huence or touch the small group
that manage the affairs Of the
nation.
The forces that nominated in
Chicago and in San Francisco do
pot really care whether sugar costs
i've cents a pound or twenty-five,

Ask a hundred men: What is
the matter with this country?"
and you will get ninety different
answers, some of them as follows:
Working men get too much and
produce too little.
Working men do not get q fair

are discouraged and restless.
Capital costs too much, interest
rates are too high, enterprise Is
discouraged.
The Government spent billions

THOSE THAT HAVE POWER

We talk, make speeches, write
editorials, and complain about the
high cost Of living. But, to those
that COULD lower it, the high
cost OF living makes no difference.
Tho price of sugar, milk, beef,
MAKES NO DIFFERENCE to the
President Of the United States.
The cost of rent, shoes, cloth

REAL DIFFERENCE to the own

The President, the owner Of a
great industry, and others that
have the power Of which MONEY
is the foundation, sympathize with
the poor, but they cannot funda-
mentally or really FEEL with the
poor.
You can IMAGINE, but you can
not FEEL, that which does not

There is a great difference be-
tween IMAGINING and sympa-

Washington, Dec. 10. = Operation

est in the history of the service-Post-

The Postmaster General charges
Congress with direct responsibility
for the deficit, explaining that the ex-
penditures included approximately
$3S, 202.60O paid as a war bonus to
postal employees and stating that but
for this there would have been a sur

THE WHITE hurley
CROP WILL Be CUT
down next YEAR
Growers Of Boyle, Clark, Bourbon,
Scott and WOOdfOrd Counties Gen.
orally Agree That Acreage VIII
Be Reduced.

Lexington, KY, Dec. 13.-That Gen.
trail Kentucky tobacco growers intend
to reduce their acreage for 1921 con-
siderably below their planting for
1920, was indicated by reports receiv-
ed Saturday from the counties Of
Boyle, Clark, Bourbon, Scott, and
Woodford. The same sentiment was
expressed by growers of Fayette coun-
ty who were asked whether they
would plant as much next year as
they did this season. Some replied
that it depends in the price paid for
tobacco this year." but the general
tenor of the replies was that the acre
age would be considerably reduced,
regardless of prices this year, and
several growers said they would get
out Of the business altogether If they
could do so and hold their tenants.
Henry NJ. Bosworth, former State
Auditor and Treasurer and large to-
bacco grower, who received a high
price for his 1919 crop, said he would
"cut it in half or cut it out altogether"
If the prices paid at the opening of
the Lexington market January did
not warrant the conclusion that the
manufacturers would pay good
price for good tobacco. Mr.. Bosworth
planted forty acres this year and
about the same in 1919. He reported
that his average, which was about l.
500 pounds to the acre last year,
would not exceed much more than
half that figure for 1920 season. Mr..
Bosworth said he expected good to-
bacco would bring good price on
the loose leaf markets.
J. H. Graves, who grows only about
fifteen acres of tobacco, said he would
cut 1t down next year one-half or cut
it out altogether If he could arrange
satisfactory terms with his tenants
without any tobacco crop. Il will cut
1t out altogether II I can" said Mr..
Graves. "and get rid Of it." He said
he knew very little about the crop but
| understood that 1t was considerably
under the weight of the crop Of last
year.
Louis Hillenmeyer, who raised
eighteen acres this year, said his
planting next year would depend en-
tirely on the result Of the sales this
winter. He said his crop was at least
a third lighter than year ago. He
said that he feared great deal OF
tobacco was raised without regard to
what it cost to raise it and that the
same was true of the wheat grown in
this county, as many farmers never
stopped to count what it cost to pro-
duce either. He said If prices for to-
bacco were not satisfactory this win
ter he would reduce his acreage mex,
year materially.
Albert Wilson. of Woodford. con-
nected with an insurance company
which does a large business with TO-
bacco growers, and farmers generally
said that in Woodland the acreage
probably would be reduced so pei
cent. from this years planting. He
said the growers of Woodford all re-
ported light crops, the loss ranging
from 25 per cent. to 40 per cent. from
the pounds per acre produce last year
