Chicago, February &.-DeveIopment ot agriculture to keep pace with the de- velopment of industry, is one of the the country, Herbert Hoover declared here tonight in an address before the Western Society of Engineers. Industries are demanding workers from the farms, he pointed out, and if we should de- velop our exports of industries during the next five years as rapidly as we have during the last five years, we shall by that time be faced with the necessity of importing foodstuffs
 The problem Is more than an economic pendence on overseas suplles for food we will be concerned about their safety and find ourselves discussing the domination of the seas. Our International relations will become more difficult, he said, and urless the League of Nations serves Its ideal. we will need to burden ourselves with more taxation, maintain great mill tary and naval forces. and imperil the development of our national life, which
 rests in the spirit of our farms and surrounds our villages"
 Great as is the need for constructive thought and action in regard to the
 weakness of our national relations, hs said, ''the need for similar thought and similar activity Is still greater with re gard to agriculture. The agriculture industry, he explained. must be made economically attractive. This can be ac
 complished. he declared. by remedyint

FIGHT TO LAST DITCH


 The determination of the administra- ton democrats to fight to the last ditch for their position became more marked during the days conference, and In some quarters it was tntimated they had heard again from the White House regarding Article 10. The party leader, Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska said no new eom- munication on the subject had come through him, but added he had no reason to believe the President had changed his mlnd on the score.
 As one result of the situation, the ad- ministfation forces and the lrreeoneii- abIes, N.no have been arch enemies Throughout the long treaty negotiations have been thrown together in mutual m terest and through their leaders are understood to have agreed to keep in close touch during next weeks maneu- vering. They did so today, Senator Hitch cock and Senator Borah. republican, Idaho, leader among the irreconciaple group. holding frequent consultations. lp- the very same way the break between Senator Hitchcock and the mild reserva7 tion republicans with whom he has worked for many weeks for a compro- mise, was brought to an open breach during the days debate.
 In sharp clashes with Senator's Kei- logg Minnesota, and Lenroot

 the democratic leader deciared are they had posed as friends of the treaty, they had worked by 'contemptible' un- derhand means to line the republicans for destroying reservations.
 Senator Hitchcock also charged that Senator Kellogg had conspired 'to help pack" the foreign relations committee with enemies of the treaty, an assertion which drew heated denial from the
 Minnesota senator He said he had
 wanted ratification from the first, ana added that while The congra tulated Senators Hitchcock and Borah "on their new alliance he could not wish them

EACH SIDE READY
 ID TAKE TREATY INTO CiNPAIG
Will Vote Monday on Reser- vation to Article 10, and Some Predict Final Vote
 Before End of Week
By AmoeIatsa rr..,

Washington. February 2S.-Another day of oratory and maneuvering in tho Sen ate ended tonight with virtually all eis- ments in the treaty fight agreeing that ratification seemed far away,
 Getting down to rock-bottom in their calculation the leaders are understood to have agreed that, unless some unex- pected circumstance alters the Senate alignment, enough votes cannot be brought together to either modify the re- publican Article 10 reservation. or secure ratification of the treaty wtS such a modification. '-----4
 In this situation a disposition became apparent among the treaty's friends ana foes alike. to bring the Senate debate to an end and let the issue go undecided into the political campaign. By unani- nous consent it was agreed to vote Mon day on the reservation, which has been pending for two days. and in some quar- ters it was predicted B final vote on the treaty itself would be reached before the end of next week.
 At least twenty democrats, it was said
 on both sides, apparently were deter mined to stand steadfastly with Presi- dent Wilson in opposing ratification un- less change could be made in the Artiele 10 reservation, which the President had said would cut the heart out of ths treaty. In administration quarters it was predicted that the number would be well
 in excess of 20. but the latter figure was accepted generally as an absolute mini mum.
 In addition, there are at least fourteen republicans and democrats banded to- gether in the irreconcilable campaign against ratification in any form, and II would take a total of only s votes to defeat any ratification resolution.

THE SUGAR OUTLOOK

Production of sugar is slowly
increasing in our country and
Europe, but consumption is also
gaining and prices of sugar will
not fall much, is the opinion Of
experts.
The increase in European acre
age is reported at 13 per cent
over last year, while acreage in
our country has risen to over
900, 900 acres.
European beet acreage in 1918
and 1914 totalled 5, 434, 1896, which
fell off during the war to $500, =
600 acres, and this accounts for
the world sugar scarcity.
Sugar production in Germany
this year rises from 74O,0
metric tons in 1919, to 1,116, 500
metric tons In 1870.
There should be some decline
in sugar prices, but the world
shortage is far from being over

REWARD OF PUBLIC SERVICE

United States Senator Marcus
A Smith has not profited mater
tally in the years which have
brought great prosperity to Ari-
zona, he declared in an address
at a luncheon of the Yavapai
County Chamber of Commerce,
at Prescott.
This wonderful State has
eclipsed all possible fancies which
were held regarding her develop
ment," he said. 1T is the re-
ward of God and many have
reaped the harvest. For myself,
| have exactly the same amount
/ had when | arrived in Arizona
enough to buy the next meal. !"
The senator has as much as
any man who honestly devotes
his life to public service, and
that is what the veteran Arizona
solon has done. There is no
doubt but that Senator Smith,
able lawyer that he is, could have
accumulated a fortune in the
practice of his profession and
could have shared in the great
prosperity that has come to Ari-
zona, but there is a satisfaction
in service to the State and the
nation that compensates for the
material things.
Here is hoping that the sena-
tor always has enough to buy
the next meal. Tucson Star.

INDUSTRIAL SIDE OF BANKING

= Every bank is closely. related
to the industrial development of
the community and q, touches
every point of community en-
ploynent.
Financing the farmer and
fruit growers in making his crop,
carrying the live stock man and
sawmill in its logging operations,
banks are factors of industrial
growth.
This fact is so widely recogniz-
ed that banks are no longer the
target of political attack and
legislation aimed to destroy their
business.
The attempts in few western
states to enact laws reducing
rates of interest to four and five
per cent are doomed to failure.
Even the state banks of the
Non-Partisan League in North
Dakota advertise to pay six per
cent on deposits and the demand
for money is 50 great that good
state road bonds drawing five
per cent sell at a big discount.

NEW ENTERPRISE FOR ARIZONA

Although little information
has been divulged in regard to it,
there is no doubt of the stability
of the men behind the proposed
giant powder fac tory to be built
near Fairbank, this county. The
president of the manufacturing
corporation is C. E, Mills, for
many years superintendent the
Detroit Copper Mining Company
at Morenci, and later general
manager of the Canapea Con-
solidated Copper Company and
the Inspiration Consolidated Cop
per Company. He is one OF the
best known mining men in the
west, and the very fact that he is
head of the corporation is proof
that those connected with it
mean business.
1t is generally understood that
the copper producers of Arizona
are very much interested in the
factory and that most of the big
companies will use the product OF
the plant. Explosives form a
very big item in mining cost,
and freight is an important. fac
tor in the cost of powder; hence
a plant within reach Of the mines
of this State naturally will supply
powder at a lower cost than can
be obtained at present, as most
of the powder used in Arizona
comes from California.
It's the general impression that
the by-products Of the South
western smelters will be used in
the manufacture of the eXplo-
sives. The sulphuric acid plant
of the Calumet and Arizona smell
ter, which furnishes acid for the
Ajo teaching plant and for COM
mercial purposes. can supply a
great deal more, and other re-
duction works in the State can in
stall plants and find the powder
factory a useful and profitable
place to which the output may be
sent.
The explosives manufacturing
plant in this county will be the
only establishment of its kind in
the entire southwest from. Jop.
lin, Mo-. to San Francisco and
it is very likely it will grow into a
great factory. 1t is fortunate for
Cochise county that it was decid-
ed to place the plant within its
confines. Douglas Dispatch.

MR.. ROOT AT THE HAGUE

III speaks well IOr Ine JuTlSlS
conference at The Hague that it
should have so speedily COM
pleted it's labors and by unani-
nous vote approved the entire
project of the High Court of In
ternational Justice. 1t should be
especially gratifying to Ameri-
cans that to a distinguished
American-Elih Root--fell the
leading part in the work of the
conference. In view of his inn
portant services the high praise
accorded him at the closing ses-
sion by his associates was a fit
ting tribute.
At the meeting of the Council
of the League of Nations of Feb
ruary 11th, an organizing COM
mittee of twelve of the most
famous jurists in the world was
appointed. Headed by Mr.. Root,
they represented the United
ates.Japan, Spain, Brazil, Bel
gium, Argentina, Italy, France.
Norway, Holland, Great Britain
and Jugo-Slavia. In Article XIV,
of the covenant of the League of
Nations in the treaty of peace
with Germany it is provided:
The Council shall formulate and
submit to the members of the
League for adoption plans for the
establishments of Permanent Court
of international Justice. The court
shall be competent to hear and de-
termine any dispute Of ain inter-
national character which the part
les thereto submit TO IL. The court
may also give AN advisory opinion
upon any dispute or question re-
ferred to it by the Council and the
Assembly.
The project prepared by the
jurists' conference will go to the
Council of the League and with
in a short time should be SUBJ
mitted to the Assembly for
adoption.
AS the recognized author of
the project of the High Court of
international Justice and also of
the plank of the republican party
on the League of Nations, it may
seem difficult to reconcile Mr..
Roots eminent services, first
at Chicago and later at The
Hague. No doubt he will be
equal to the task, as he has been
in so MANY emergencies. 1t is a
situation that requires clearing
up, if only for the relief of re-
publicans accustomed when in
difficulties to look to Mr.. Root
for guidance. As a reward for
his timely help at Chicago, is his
contribution at The Hague to-
ward the upbuilding Of the

THE SHORTAGE

The gasoline shortage is due to
the fact that there is not enough
gasoline to meet all the require
ments of the public; there is not
enough gasoline because there is
an insufficient production of crude
oil; the crude oil production is
inadequate because nature has
not been kind enough to respond
to the unprecadentedly vigorous
efforts of the oil industry to get
crude from the earth. The short
age is due to no diminished supply
of gasoline, but to increased con-
sumption.
What is true to-day of gaso-
line is likewise true of fuel oil,
and presentlythe fuel oil situa-
will also be quite serious.
There is a certain logical Sc
quence of the facts in this mat
ter, which are almost self-explan-
atory. They trace the situation
from the beginning of gasoline =
the crude oil supply-to the end
consumption in motor cars,
trucks, tractors and gas engines.
Here are given the out standing
features:
/. The Crude Oil Supply: California
will this year produce about 100, :
900, 200 barrels of crude oil.
2. Crude Oil Consumption: The
Pacific Coast will this year con-
sumo about Ito. .000, 900 barrels of
crude oil, the 10000, 000- barrel
being drawn from the reserve
stocks.
5. The Gasoline Supply: Greatest in
history of California oil industry
and augmented by the importation
of millions of gallons from Eastern
and Mexican fields.
a. Gasoline Consumption: In 1915
there were 239, 600 motor vehicles
on the Pacific Coast, in 1920 more
than 780, 600; in 1915 there were
1900 tractors, in 1920 ut least 25,
600. There are many thousands
of gas engines in operation. In
1918 the Standard OIL Company's
sales of gasoline amounted t. l52.
600, 900 gallons. in 1919, 1913, 800, :
600. while the sales of 1920 will
be more than 300, 900, QUO gallons.
So far this year. this Company
has sold 48.4 per cent more gaso-
line than for the same period of
last year.
These facts prove the situation
simply and conclusively. There
is much supporting evidence to
show the tremendously increased
consumption. Take reserve
stocks of crude oil: These amount
ed to SO, 5000 barrels in 1915,
toonly 26, 800, 900 on May 81, 1920,
a low figure not touched IN ten
years. Consider Standard Oil
reserve stocks of gasoline: On
January |, 1918, n, 7,000,0 600 gal
Ions; year later, Ia, 300, 600 gal
Ions; and this year, a, 400, 900
gallons, or but 8S, barrels, of
which ten per cent was unavail-
able, being in tank bottoms and
pipe lines. Standard Oil BulletiR
