A permanent stabilizaHon Of values
will result automatically when all le-
gal tender disqualifications are re-
moved from the products Of the farm
and factory. In the nature Of things.
farmers can only compensate others
for goods or services received with the
products Of their farms, and these
should be reinvested with the legal
status of debt-paying power, proper
tionate to the labor cost of production.
A creditor. knowing the natural pro-
ductions Of the farm. should be limited
in his claims of payment to what the
farmer can supply, without the inter-
vention Of anybody else and without
having to make any sacrifices whatso-
ever. That seven men of the Federal
Reserve Bank, either of, the money
lending or the salaried class, should
have it in their power to depreciate all
other values. and to appreciate money
in their own interest, is neither democ-
racy nor square deal

The legal requirements for money
payments in cases of legally recogniz-
ed economic obligations, is the one spe-
cific item that blocks the free and un-
hindered activities in the business
world. Because it makes the gain and
control of this money supreme OBJ
ject and lever of the most powerful
influence on the economic field, either
to obstruct or expedite its activities, as
caprice or greed may prompt.
The imperiaIistic dictatorship over
human affairs to-day resides in, and
is welded by the irresponsible control
lers of money. This is really and truly
public function, and should be car
ried on for the public at the bare cost
of the labor required in performing
the service. Cost the limit of price, .
is the only principle that will assure
us democracy.

TO CALL SPECIAL
SESSION APRIL 4
Harding to Summon Congress to
Deal With Taxation and
Tariff Questions.
DATE REVEALED BY FORDNEY
Emergency Tariff Bill Reported-Ten
Amendments. Broadening Measure
to Include Practically All
Farm Products. Added.

Washington, jan 19.-COngress will
be called into special session April 4,
according to information given mem
committee by Chairman Fordney on his
return from Marion, where he con-
ferred with President-elect Harding.
Mr.. Fordney discussed with the
President-elect general taxation and
tariff questions, which will be among
the more important subjects to come
before the special session of the new
congress.
The chairman was understood to
have told Mr.. Harding the date of the
session had a direct bearing on the
tariff revision hearings, which the COM
mittee is now conducting and it was
said that Mr.. Harding informed him
that April practically had been de-
cided upon.
Carrying amendments which many
proponents believed spell it's doom in
the senate, the Fordney emergency tar
if bill was reported out by the SEN
ate finance committee.
supported by arglcultural interests
during the week of hearings on the
bill, as affording vital protection to
farm products, the measure on the
other hand was strongly attacked by
others as an instrument for maintain
ing abnormal price levels.
Ten amendments, broadening the
measure to include practically all farm
products, Instead of the limited num-
Der approved by the house, had been
added to the bill by the committee and
opponents had served notice that an
attempt would be made to load on more
when the measure reached the senate
floor.
Several senators who opposed the
bill in committee were understood to be
prepared to repeat their attempt, I'M
successful in committee, to add such
extraneous legislation as the bill to re-
codify the federal laws and the sol
diers' bonus bill. The determined and
apparently growing opposition to the
measure in the senate promised a long
struggle with hours of debate before
final action.
