Mr.. stevenson Is apprehensive that
" Harding is successful In the cleo
ton next fall and a Republican Con-
gress is swept into Office with him
that the Federal farm loan act. which
vas passed few years ago by the
democrats and has proved of meal
cujable value to the farming inter-
ests or the country, will be repealed
'r amended to such an extent as to
destroy its usefulness. as Harding
vigorously opposed it's passage by
Congress.
Asked as to what he thought of
tlarding's stature as presidential
timber. Mr.. Stevenson said he was
not impressed with the Republican
nominee as a statesman OF broad
vision. There are. however" Mr..
stevenson added. "one or two Demo-
r'ats prominently mentioned for the
nomination who also are not big
enough men for the office"

Tennessee is the hope Of the Ma
tional Woman's party to save the sur
fragist situation. An appeal has
been made to Governor Roberts, who
has called a special session OF the
Legislature to pass on the suffrage
amendment.
The suffragists declare they are
not discouraged by a provision in the
constitution of Tennessee which re-
quires that the Legislature must be
elected on the questions at issue in a
constitutional amendment before It
can vote on ratification. They quote
number of lawyers as saying that
the present Legislature will not he
debarred from passing on the suf-
frage amendment.
The decision OF the United states
supreme court In the Ohio referen-
dunn case. the suffragists say, Is now
held by the best legal authority to
lnvalidate" the Tennessee State con-
stitutional provision. which has up to
this time been held to prevent the
State from ratifying the amendment
before the 1920 elections.

Secretary Of Treasury Houston
Presents Years Program
to Bankers.
OUTLINES MANY PLANS
Appeals For Strictest Economy In
Public Affairs as Well as
Thrift on the Part of
the People.

Observation-Disclosures eXpendi-
lures Of $4,000, 00O, 900 during the next
fiscal year were forecast by Secretary,
in an address before the convention of
the American Bankers association, in
which he covered a wide range Of
financial and economic problems of
the nation.
The secretary outlined the Treas
ury's program for handling the war
debt, liquidation for which, he said,
must go on steadily in order that the
final redemption be accomplished with
out disturbance to national life. He
appealed for "the stricted economy,
not only in our expenditures, federal,
state, county and municipal, but also
by thrift on the part of the people"
Falling Receipts Indicated.
Mr.. Houston said there were indica-
tions of falling receipts because there
was no means of predicting the course
of business or incomes I'M profits.
The receipts for the present fiscal
year, he reported, would be materially
lower than the record of $500, 900, 900
last year.
1--WE cannot afford to operate on a
tax basis which would give us reve-
nues below those anticipated" the
speaker continued, "and in plans for
revision this should be definitely borne
in mind"
The Treasury's program had been
disarranged, the secretary said, by the
"heavy burdens imposed by the trans
portation act" He estimated the to-
tai amount which the government will
pay the roads at $1,000, OOO, 900, about
o%ne-fourth of which already has been
turned over to them.
Mr.. Houston predicted rapid reduc-
ton in the gross national debt through
the coming year, particularly the ST.
$50, 100000 short term certificates out
standing. The Treasury program, he
added, would result in reducing this
below $4,000, OOO, OOG and perhaps to
1900, OOO, 900.
Turning to the demands of agricu1.
tural interests for government help,
Mr.. Houston said that scarcely had a
reduction in the cost of living mani
tested itself when every producer
manifested resistance.
Every producer is willing for the
products of every other producer to
decline but protests the decline in his
own.
"There is much human nature in this
but not much reasonableness.

CONSUME MUCH LIQUOR
Withdrawals Since January Re-
veaIed by Revenue Bureau.
Four Times Amount Needed for Non
beverage Purposes Leaves Gov
eminent Warehouses.

MISUNDERSTANDING evidence of
the vast consumption of liquor in the
United States for other than non-bever-
age purposes, despite prohibition, is
revealed in statistics of the internal
revenue bureau, showing withdrawals
Of distilled spirits from bonded ware
houses since January, 1920, to have
exceeded such Withdrawals before the
prohibition law became effective.
Government officials are determined
to stop the huge leaks if possible but
plead insufficient funds and inadequate
working staffs to cope with the situa-
ton as it now exists. The figures on
the withdrawal of liquors show that
from three to four times as much
liquor as is required to meet the de-
mands of ~non-beverage purposes is
flowing out of the bonded warehouses.
2,193,75O Gallons in Month.
The startling figures on liquor with
drawals since prohibition are these:
In January of 1919 for ~non-beverage
purposes, 919,616 gallons of distilled
spirits were withdrawn. For the same
monthFthis year, 2,1S3,750 gallons were
withdrawn. January of 1920 was the
first month the prohibition amendment
va effective.
The Withdrawals for February, 1919
and 1920, were S62,314 and 1855, SOL
gallons; for March, 1919 and 1920,
932,604, and for 4,1SS,9S3; for April,
1919 and 1920, S64,126 and 3,647, 726;
for May, 1919 and 1920, 926,17S and
4,SS3,3S4; for June, 1919 and 1920, $685.
$50 and 3,4S0,493; for July, 1919 and
1929, 1,071,659 and 4,072, 029.
Commissioner Williamson, seeing
those figures, set his experts to work
to find out why the withdrawal of dis
titled spirits from warehouses amount
ed to much more under dry laws than
they did under the old wet system. 1t
was reported to him that about three
fourths OF the liquor taken out was be-
ing used for beverage and not non
beverage purposes.

Issues Ultimatum Demanig I'M
mediate Granting of Coal
Workers Wage Demands.
ENGLAND faces CRISIS
IL Is Believed Government VIII Make
Move TO Call Fresh Conference of
Miners and Coal Owners to
Avoid Further Trouble.

London-Orders have been issued
for British railway men to strike in
sympathy with coal miners.
The British cabinet went into ses-
sion following announcement that rail
way workers had voted a sympathetic
strike. News of the surprise vote"
of the railway delegates was received
while the house of commons was in
session and members of the cabinet
left Immediately.
Ultimatum Demands New Farley.
The ultimatum will demand imme-
date granting of the miners wage de-
mands or reopening of negotiations
with the alternative of the sympathetic
strike.
If Lloyd George capitulated, the rail
way strike will be called Off.
The decision of the railway dele
gates added to the seriousness of the
situation since it was believed these
workers would not call a strike until
everything possible had been done to
settle the miners controversy.
Transport workers, the other divi-
sion of the triple alliance" announced
through their secretary, Robert Will
liams, if negotiations were not re-
opened within "a hours, the issue
would be clearly drawn between the
government and the workers.
The belief was expressed in labor
circles that the government would
make some to call a fresh con-
ference of miners and coal owners to
examine the adjustment by William
Brace labor member Of parliament
and president of the South Wales min
erS federation.
