INTERNATIONAL
FARMERS. MEET
Victor 'Murdock Speaks Before
National Board of Farm Or
ganizations in Capital.

Washington, Feb. l9.-Back of
every basic commodity exist move
ments which should give the country
gravest concern" Victor Murdock,
chairman of the Federal Trade Com
mission, told the annual conference
of the National Board of Farm Or
CARNATIONS.
Explaining to the delegates repre-
senting more than 80 agricultural
bodies the work of the federal trade
commission, Mr.. Murdock said it
was the economic eye" of the gov
ernment to ascertain the facts re-
garding these movements in order
that the public might be protected.
The work of the commission in the
past has been almost elementary"
said Mr.. Murdoch, adding that the
commission was about to embark on
the study of "other and graver prob
lens" affecting the nations business.
Further than that he did not elabo-
rate his statement which aroused
keen interest among the delegates
in view of recent Investigations into
meat packing, coal mining and other
primary industries.
Revive Plans for Congress.
Almost the first act of the confer
ence was to revive plans for an in
ternat1onal farmers congress. A
committee was appointed with in
structlons to communicate at the
earliest possible moment with SINH
lar organizations in foreign coun-
tries. Other committees were
chosen to report on the modus and
present status of the investigation
of the federal trade commission to
report on the outlook for importa-
ton of foreign fertilizers and to ex-
anime into the foreign exchange sit
uatlon as it affects American trade.
Charles S. Barrett, president of the
National Farmers union, who pre-
sided as chairman of the conference,
said that while it would be very
pleasant to be able to say that "aii
is we'll with agriculture and that i'll
the farmers mind there is no dis
content, nothing left to be desired"
ttiC ldSlS WClC tlldt tIlC FARMER IS
not content or satisfied"
Farmers to Pool Efforts.
Answers to the recent question
naire sent out by the Postoffice de-
partment, he said. came nearer to
revealing the truth about agricul-
ture than anything that has received
equal publicity in the city press.
The farmers, at least the organ
lied farmers, from now on will pool
their efforts in exploring what in
the past has been forbidden ground"
said Mr.. Barrett. "They will en-
ploy trained research workers to in
vestigste affairs affecting agricul.
ture. With trained research pub
licity and legal talent, farmers need
no longer be impotent in dealing
with the questions Of marketing,
distribution and finance"
Practically the entire membership
visited Secretary Meredith of the
Agriculture department, who has
asked the counsel and cooperation
of the national board.

LANGUAGE BILL
PASSED after
FIGHT IN DIET
Overwhelming Vote Favors
English as Official
Language in State
And Schools.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 19.-(Special)
After a hard and windy battle in
the constitutional convention the
English language won out by de-
cisive vote in which only nine men,
bers voted against its recommenda-
ton for passage.
Amendments were voted down by
so close vote that friends of the
bill became agitated for fear the bill
would be defeated. The amendments,
while not vital to the bill, gave op-
portunity for oratory.
Those voting against the bill were
Albert of Platte, Alder of Brown,
Bryant of Cedar, Cornell of Cherry,
Donohoe of Douglas, Eperson OF
Clay, Lahners of Thayer, Landgren
of Fillmore. Thielen of Platte and
Votava of Douglas.
Text of Proposal.
The bill reads: "The English is
hereby declared to be the official
language of this state, and all offlcia!
proceedings, records and publica-
tons shall be i'll such language, and
the common school branches shall
be taught in said language in public,
private, denomination and parochlal
schools"
At the close of the discussion
Judge Oleson inquired of Delegate
Mcdonald, who made the closing
speech in favor of the proposal, if
it was the intent of~the proposal to
cut out the Latin phrases in legal
matters. Mr.. Mcdonald said it
would not. Judge Norval created
some amusement by-declaring, Il
hope So" =
Raise Debt Limit.
Half a million dollars is the limit
10 which the state can go into debt,
as reported out by the committee on
public indebtedness. This raises the
limit from 100000 and will prob
ably stop attempts made by some
members to raise the limit of in
debtedness much above that figure.
A proposal by Junkin putting the
limit to ST per capita was reported
for indefinite postponement, as was
another by Sughrous making the
limit per cent of the assessed
valuation.
Lo the poor Indian will have to
forego his "payote," a stimulant
used by Indians in their religious
worship and at times much desired
as a stimulant, the convention look
ing with disfavor upon any propo-
sition with anything but cold
water favor.
The convention indefinitely post
poned a proposal by Donahoe of
Douglas for the open primary.
