TENSION IN POLITICS.
OVER SPEAKERSH|P
It Is Believed Penrose Is Deter
mined to Name Man for
Legislative Post
BATTLE SWINGS WESTWARD

A tension was apparent today in the
fight to win control Of the next Lcgis-
laturc through the election of the
speaker of the state House of Repre-
scntativcs.
Senator Pcnroses remark yesterday
that hc wants to got out and tell some
people what I think of them" Is eddy
ing through the stream of Pennsylvania
politics.
The general Interpretation of the re
mark i that Mr. Pcnrose is determined
to name the next speaker. Governor
Sproul and State Chairman Grow are
pushing Major Samuel n. Whitaker,
of Chester county. for the speakcrship.
The battle swung today to the west
ern end of the state. Senator Grow IS
now in Allegheny county lining up rep
rcscntativcs there for the SprOuf- Grow
program.
Both Sides Claim Allegheny
Interesting in that connection is the
claim that twenty two of the twcny
four representatives from Allegheny
county will vote for any candidate de-
sired by Senator Penrosc. The Sproul-
Crow force say at least n:Netccn of the
representatives are plctsscd to their
program.
The spcakcrship prize is sought so
eagerly by the forces of Joseph, X.
Grundy and those of Governor Sproul
and Senator Grow because of the i'm
mcnse power vested in the presiding
officer of the House.
The speaker names all committees
and frequently decides what committee
will receive a particular bill. Commit
tee domination means control over the
legislative machinery. measures can be
pushed through quickly. killed with
negative votes or allowed to die of old
age.
Penrcse Sees Tax Relief
Senator Pcnrose does not believe rev
cnuc legislation Mt the short session of
Congress will be possible. He made
this statement late yesterday following
conference with Senator James II.
Watson. of Indiana.
Senator penrOse expressed the belief
that Senator Philandcr G. Knox would
remain Il senator and not enter Prcsi-
dent elect Harding cabinet.
Business men will view the expression
of opinion as relates to revenue lcgisla
ton with interest. for they have indi-
Gated the hope the burden of excess
profits tax would be relieved to aid
business. Repeal OF this tax would
permit retention of millions Of money
il, business.
80 far as | am concerned said
Senator PcnrOSc. Il do not see how It
will be possible to pass any substantial
revenue legislation in the short session.
1t must be borne in mind that Mr..
Wilson still is President with the
power of veto, and so far as | know
there is no hone of co operation with
him on revenue, or any other lcSisla-
ton.
"At the best. there will be very
slim Republican majority in the Senate
in the short session. | expect to go
to Washington soon after the Christ
mas holidays. | plan to call hearings
before the Senate finance committee in
advance of the next session of Congress
after that, so that some light may be
shed on this and other important ques-

CONGRESSMAN ANTHONY J. GRIFFIN

CONGRESSMAN ANTHONY j. GRIFFIN
of New York and Senator Capper have
recently, in the respective branches of
congress, delivered speeches upon the
question of the matter of excess profits
which have added new fuel to the fire
of discomfort with present day econom-
ic and financial conditions. Mr.. Griffin
made the statement upon the floor OF
the House of Representatives that the
number of nillionaires in the United
States had increased from 2,348 in 1914
to 1864 in 1917, the last year for which
statistical information is available. He
claims that there were AGO persons last
year whose aggregate net income was
$500, 1886. 914, and that one single lndi-
vidual had a net income of nearly $685.
900. 600. The manufacturing corpora
lions lead the procession of huge in
comes reported to the u. s. treasury
department. The gross incomes of this
class was 140 billion dollars. MIR. Crit
fin made his speech in support of a
measure to tax all incomes above $780,
900 100 per cent, incomes between four
and five hundred thousand 80 per cent,
and all incomes above one hundred
thousand from so per cent and up.

toothache and upon receiving a nickel

ever going to eat candy again?" To
which he replied: "Well, auntie, I'm
not eating this candy ON the toothache

SHOULD consumption be discouraged?
Should we under the present high cost
advocate minimum of buying? 1t it
is really true that our production is
falling short of our consumption, and
that the high cost is due to shortage all
around, it would seem that anything
which will increase production should
be encouraged. What will encourage
production? The answer used to be:
demand, which again means ready mar
ket and strong consumption. The No
Buying Club, the overall craze, and all
similar movements for the purpose of
bringing down the high cost are worth
less remedies, except In so far as they
tend to create new demands, and there
bv, more production in the lines where
the want is created. Take the tobacco
industry: Would you advocate quit
smoking organization in order to bring
down the price of tobacco? 1t is the
demand that is mainly responsible for
the high prices. But there is another
point: If the price of an article is the
result of combination on the part of
certain members of society for the pur-
pose of extorting unjust profits, and
not the result of active demand and a
reasonable and fair profit to those who
produce and handle the article, the con-
sumner and the producer have reason to
join hands in an effort to- break the
hold that such combination may have
on them. If under such conditions the
long arm of our government does not,
or will not, reach the violators of sup
ply and demand to stop their interior
ence, the people have it in their power
through the ballot to make the govern
ment represent the will and interests
of the people adequately. This rem
edy is always available, and always
right.

Only i'm Maryland.

Imagine roasting turkey, already

where a few good cooks still linger. is
it served properly. There they do not
roast it, but boil it, and then serve it
with a thick, creamy oyster sauce. The
difference is like that between perfect

DAYTON, o., May ., I9zU.
A considerable portion of the 1919
Zimmers has been taken in an active
filler campaign. Under the stimulus of
the Porto Rico raid the filler market
received a general push, and the prices
of the Ohio types have ranged from 20
cents upward. The growers are hap
py, and the chances for good sized
acreage the coming season are good.
If it had not been for the high prices
the growers would not be anxious to go
at it, as the scarcity of labor is enough
to discourage the most hopeful. The
Dutch is gone with the thinner, and 30
per cent of the Gebhardt, and the bal
ance is going.

Get Together Meeting Of
Illipah Oil and Gas Go.

Ely Record: A "get-together- meeting" of the sharenoio-
ers of the Illipah Basin Oil & Gas Company was held at the city
hall last Saturday night, which was attended by a number OF
shareholders for the purpose of outlining plans for the future.
For some time past the affairs of the company have not oeen
progressing in a satisfactory manner. There were a number o1
unavoidable delays caused by the breaking of tools, the non-ar-
rival of tools ordered from the east, and more recently the losing
of a string of tools in the well.
The meeting was attended by Ira mcfarland OF the State
Engineers office, who was connected with the company as us
field representative for months after it first commenced drilling,
but who resigned some months ago and has since been looking
after his private interests. Mr.. mcfarland had been at the
well several days previous to the meeting, and expressed his
opinion that the tools could be recovered and the well, which
has reached a depth of $40 feet, saved. He also stated that the
baiings showed coahngs of oil when brought to the surface,
which in his opinion was a sure indication that oil would be
struck at greater depth. He felt that it would be a serious mis-
take to abandon the well without making every effort to secure
the tools, and his opinion was endorsed by the shareholders
present, and he was asked to continue with the company until
the next meeting of the shareholders, which will be held We'd
nesday night of next week.
George A. Foster resigned as treasurer and manager of the
company, and E. N. Richardson resigned as secretary and d-
rector. One hundred thousand shares of promotion stock were
turned over to the company by Richardson, Foster, Amenda
and MacFarland to be sold without commission for the treasury,
and parties present agreed to take 25, 900 shares of the stock.
C. H. Bent was elected secretary and treasurer and has as
sumed the duties of his dual position. He has been with the
company from the start and will make an efficient official.
MI. Mcfarland was in from the well on Wednesday and
speaks very encouragingly of the progress being made TO re-
cover the tools, but is not yet certain of success. If the tools
cannot be fshed out it will be necessary to start another well,
and these matters will be placed before the shareholders of the
company at the next meeting.

WOODEN CLOTHING TUMBLEs

THE big event in the apparel
trades has been the announcement OF
a reduction on next Springs wooiens
ranging from Is to % per cent under
1920 prices" says Bradstreet's, the
well known Trade Journal.
This is the first reduction in wool
en- clothing since the big slump In
raw woods last Spring, which would
indicate that it takes about a year
for the consumes to derive any bene-
fit from the low price of the raw
product. Even yet he cannot be GER
tain that the reduction will not be
absorbed before reaching him.
There has been practically no sale
for raw wool at any price for motnhs.
there are enormous stocks unsold In
most of the producing sections OF the
world, and wool growers everywhere
are in serious financial straits.

SPRAY FOUND
THAT DESTROYS WEEV|L

Although Eureka County has not
yet been visited by the dreded alfalfa
weevil, washoe and White Pine Coun-
ties have, and the hitherto untarnish-
ed record of the State of Nevada was
spoiled this year when a quarantine
was put on the county Of Washoe for
alfalfa weevil. Now comes the an
nouncement of interest TO all farmers
to the effect that the Department OF
Agriculture has devised a simple and
effective method of stamping out this
pest.
Specialists of the department say
that rarely has any method of insect
control been so thoroughly safeguard
ed against failure of alfalfa weevil
spraying. 1t has been tested every
season for seven years. The cost of
the operation-about 81 an acre-is
thrilling compared with the returns,
and no farmer In the territory infest-
ed or even threatened can afford to
overlook 1t, the specialists say. There
is no control measure, however, which
can be applied advantageously this
late in the season. Effective work
must be delayed until next Spring.
Control is effected by spraying poi
son over the fields SO that 1t will cov-
err the growing parts on which the
weevils mostly feed. Arsenate of lead
and arsenate of zinc have been most
ly used, but other ~arsenicals recon
mended for orchard spraying are
thought to be about as good. There
is practically no danger Of burning
the foliage of alfalfa and, therefore,
the range of suitable poisons is larger
than in fruit tree spraying. Arsen-
ate of lead is said to be, everything
considered, the best poison to use,
principally because it sticks to the
leaves more readily and costs less
than most of the others.
