Cappcr's Heroic Remedy

Q ENATOR ARTHUR CAPPER, of Kan

putting the wheat gamblers out of bust
ness. He has drafted bill which he will
introduce in the next Congress to stop
gambling in futures on the big grain ex-
change. He attributes the present declin-
ing wheat market to these gamblers
double crossing the farmers and victimz-
Ing the public" He says that the war
exploded the Old theory that trading in
futures" is necessary in handling the cash
commodity.
In seeking by appropriate Legislation to
put IA stop 10 gambling in futures on the
grain exchange. the Senator is engaged in
laudable undertaking and one that is en-
tireiy feasible. That gambling operations
upon the exchange are pernicious in
fuence in unfavorably affecting prices for
grain, experience has amply demonstrated
Appropriate legislation would correct this
evil, though il is within the power of the
governing body of the exchange to sun
press the practice by its own action How
ever, influenced by oyerconservatism in
spired by shorsghtedness, the exchange
seems not 10 have made any determined
effort to accomplish that purpose
But If. as the Senator's statement seems
to imply, he undertakes legislation that
would wholly suppress option trading, the
enactment OF such measure would place
such handicap upon trading as would
result in sluggish movement, whose in
eVitable effect would be market depression

mate transactions, is a powerful factor in

H0uStOn's Figures VS.. Farmers Facts
FARMERS find no solace in the decision
of Secretary of the Treasury Houston.
There is no comfort for them in the words
os.W. p. G. Harding. governor of the Fed
eral Reserve Board. They have one hope
left, ONLY one and that slim. The COVER
nors OF all the reserve banks, now in con-
terence, may find for them a way out OF
their difficulties. Result of tina. confer
cnce will be known Saturday, but in view
OF what already has passed it is not strange
That the farmers are pessimistic. y"
Mr.. Houston was within his rights in
refusing to revive the War Finance Cor
Noration TO finance the export OF farm,
products, but there was no justification for
his, action in Shaping the farmers in the
face by telling them the Treasury has no
money to lend TO persons who may wish to
hold their products for higher prices
They have not asked that they be given
funds with which to speculate. They have
asked only for that normal credit their
local banks would give them under normal
conditions. They assert that it has been
refused. Mr.. Houston says it has not Mr.
houston points 10 the bank figures and
the farmers point TO the facts. There the
issue is joined. People who have sought
credit from their banks in recent months
are likely TO bcliefe the tfarmers. AS a
class they are not given to duplicty, and
when they say credit is being withheld and
they are facing bankruptcy, the public will
not doubt them
Governor Harding supports the secre-
tary. He denies that money is tight" or
tina. the 'dehation policy is responsible
for conditions OF which the farmers COM
plain. But the latter point to the price
quotations. the stern attitude of their local
banks. their unpaid notes made in order
TO produce their crops, and are not con
WINGED. They know what they know and
all the iino-spun financial theories in the
world will not change their conviction
1t is Z situation that demands the best
thought OF the hest minds the government
affords. II owes it to the farmers to pro-
tect them from any policy that threatens
their welfare. The farmers do not EXPECT
and do not want wartime prices, hut they
do expect and should have that measure
OF protection which will keep them from
ruin, and II normal credit is being with
held way should he found 10 force lis
