Emporia, Kan, Dec. IA danger
Gus political reaction TO the present
malad justment in the matter of agri-
cultural interests was forecast in an
interview today by William Allen
White, one time Bull Moose national
committeeman for Kansas.
White believes this reaction will
take the form of an ..agrarian upris-
ing like that of tSe nineties which ex-
pressed itself in the Farmers alliance
and Populist party
These factors. he feels. are the dis
turbnig elements:
l. A steady decline in the price OF
everything the farmer has to sell.
2. Continued increase in land rent
and interest rates.
8. Failure of unemployment in cities
to reduce farm labor wage.
Unless the farmer gets relief White
expects this political reaction to show
itself in the 1922 election.
White said altho farmers are yet
ship and not exactly sure what should
be done. he sees demands forming
along these lines:
l. Special farm credit arrangement
with the federal reserve bank.
2. Some security of price when crop
is planted.
3. Square deal from packers and big
grain men.
4. Fair show in worlds marketing.

BILL HOPPER full
Suspension of immigration First
Measure Before Congress.
Repeal of War Legislation To
Be Second Up.

Washington, Dec "a bill to sus-
pend immigration for two years was
one of the first to be introduced in
congress as it reconvened today.
This measure, which probably will
be one of the first to be acted upon
because Of alarming increase in immi-
grafton, was placed in the bill basket
by Representative Johnson, Washing
ton.
Next in importance was the bill of
Representative Volstead. Minnesota,
chairman of the judiciary committee,
providing for repeal of war legisla-
ton.
Several bills were introduced to aid
farmers during the present price de-
cline. Senator Capper suggested a
prohibitive tax of 10 per cent on all
dealings in cotton and grain features.
Representatives Tincher. Kansas
wants to place a tariff of 35 cents a
bushel on all imported Canadian
wheat.
A resolution of Senator Calder re-
quested revival of the war finance cor
poration. Senator Jones, Washington
wants to prohibit the expectation OF
narcotics and make the Philippines
and all diplomatic offices dry.
Other bills were:

Workmen's Compensation Act
Being Discussed Today.
Provide Administrative Body to
Handle Operations.

Plans for an administrative body to
handle the workmen's compensation
law-possibly thru the court of indus
trial relations-gave basis for early
discussion today Of the proposed new
compensation act. A special commit
tee named by Governor Allen began
discussion of the proposed law at a
conference in the state labor depart
ment this morning. During the after
noon the committee moved to the
hearing rooms of the industrial court,
where public hearings were begun.
That some form of administrative
body must be provided to handle oper-
ations of the proposed new law was
the opinion of several members of the
committee. This policy is in keeping
with the desires of Governor Allen,
it is believed, who will seek the plac-
ing of the labor department and the
welfare commission under the indus
trial court.
Freeman Refuses to Serve
Refusal of W. E. Freeman, presi-
dent of the State Federation of Labor,
TO serve on the governors special
committee, was the chief subject of
discussion among persons watching
work of the compensation committee.
Freeman has stated that he will spon-
sor the bill to be presented by the IA
Dor union interest. In consequence
he declined to serve with the commit
tee now in session. His action was
accepted as indication of a clash re-
garding provisions of the new bill. 1t
may also mean that labor will make a
finish fight for passage of its own
measure.
Committee members today stated
that their efforts will be directed to-
ward enlarging the scope of the. pres
ent law and to insure the securing OF
all compensation provided by law.
The present hearings may continue
Tuesday. Subsequent meetings will be
held and a draft of the proposed new
law may not be ready until early next
month.
Not Able to Attend.
Neither Senator Francis C. Price OF
Ashland, nor Representative Frank l.
Martin of Hutchinson, members of the
committee, were able to attend the ses-
sions. Both employers and employees
were called this afternoon. Members
of the committee attending the ses-
sions are John H. Crawford. state
labor commission, chairman; W. c.
Coleman, Wichita; Ira Clemens, Pitts
burg; Senator-elect Ben S. Hegler
Wichita; Representative J. A McDer-
mott. Winfield. and Representative d
z. Lamb. Heringten.

BARUCH HAS PLAN PROPOSE new LAW
"WoIf of Wall Street, Comes to
Rescue of Kansas Farmer.
Sends Marketing Remedy to
State Board of Agriculture.

Bernard NJ. Baruch, the wolf of
Wall street." has come to the rescue
of the farmer. ]. C. Mohler, secretary
of the state board of agriculture, to-
day received from him a large dccu-
ment containing suggestions as to how
the farmers can protect themselves
from the evils of the present market
ing system and from extreme price
depressions The suggestions came in
a registered letter and are made to the
agricultural board with the idea that
this organization take them up and
attempt to put them into concrete
form and workable formulas. Among
the most important of the suggestions
are:
FIRST-The creation of adequate,
modern storage facilities so that the
farmers can hold their grain when the
markets are off.
SECOND-The issuing of certificates
to farmers, showing the grade and
amount of grain stored, and the provid-
ing of a method whereby these certifi-
Gates can be used in raising necessary
funds without disposing of the stored
grain
THIRD-Reservation of credits and
bank bPankang g,,i iTeSerges be YES SO that the local
over market slump periods.
Baruch Visited Kansas.
Several months ago Baruch came to
kansas and met with the members of
the board of agriculture to talk over
the market conditions. He let the
Kansas farmers do all the talking
Then. when he left, he told MohIer
that he would try to work out a sys-
tenn under which the farmers could
protect, themselves from the big losses
they have had to take this year And
his letter received today is the fulfill
lment of this promise.
. Tlor oh, e
the farmers in detail and he suggests
that If larger storage and warehouse
facilities cannot be provided by private
enterprise, the state should take a
hand in the matter and build and
operate state owned elevators and
1 warehouses. Institutions, or corpora
tions. should be established, he says
for the purpose Of making loans on
the warehouse receipts and they
| should be large enough and so offered
that they would gain the confidence of
the investing public and become at
ira active investments
! 1t is probable that Baruch's plan
will be taken up at special meeting
, of the board of agriculture before the
annual January meeting and that some
kind of a legislative program will be
worked out to be presented to the leg
Iislature when it meets the first of the
year.
The plan suggested by Baruch for
the establishment of elevators where
grain can be stored and warehouse re-
ceipts issued to the farmers on which
they can obtain money is very similar
/ to the system under which the Burley
/ tobacco growers of Kentucky have
been able to protect themselves against
iioss. Clarence LeBus, of Cynthiana,
/ Ky, was the first man to successfully
work out this system and as result
! he was able to make tobacco raisers
among the most successful farmers of
the country.
