KANSAS STATE FARM BUREAU

Manhattan, Kansas, Sept. 15.-The
axecutive committee of Kansas State
Farm Bureau in its monthly meeting
held here last week, made a protest
against the drastic defation brought
about by the Federal Reserve system
which raised rediscount rates and
forced the smaller banks to call in
their loans.
The committee passed a resolution
addressed to Senator Capper to the
Joint commission investigating agri-
culture in which it asked that the
commission encourage the issue of
federal reserve or treasury notes as a
means of restoring business to nor
NAL. The resolution pointed out that
this was the means employed by Pres
ident Roosevelt in breaking up the
panic of 1907.
Raising of rediscount rates, the
committee pointed out, forced gen
eral lowering of prices which hurt
farmers worse than any other class.
. AS remedy the bureau advocates
a secondary imitation which will raise
the price of the farm products to
somewhere near their former level
The de1atiOn, which forced products
to the present low levels, is equiva-
lent to doubling the debts, taxes, rail

TO MODIFY CODE
Spanish War Veteran Makes
Plea to American Legion.
Declares Veterans Must Be More
Active in Politics.

Kansas City. Mo, Oct 31.-Modifi-
cation of the political clause in the
American Legion's constitution was
urged at the Legio IS convention here
today by Oscar E. Carlstrom of A1edo,
Ill, commander-in-ch chief of the United
Spanish War Veterans, himself a
member of the American Legion.
Capt. Carlstrom brought greetings
from his organization.
THE patriotism which gave service
in war can be translated into patri-
otism of service in time of peace and
under our form of government can
only be expressed by participation in
the shaping of public policies and the
choosing of men charged with the
duty of carrying out those policies"
Captain CGrlstrom said
This means participation in poll
tics, not necessarily partisan and in
deed under no circumstances CONNER
cialized politics
What America and her states
need today as much as any one thing
is on-commercialized politics-poli-
tics based upon integrity and sincerity
of service to the state. What body of
men and women can be looked to with
greater confidence to lead and
strengthen such L movement than the
service men and women2
Had the American Legion and
kindred service OrganiZa ti0BS a deter
mined and aggressive policy looking
to the support in united way of those
men who would support and give de-
cent consideration to their interests,
there might not now be the lack of
adjustment economically that exists
between the condition of the service
men and those who fattened by I'M

The Legion's constitution prohibits
anyone who holds or is seeking sal

Chief Carlstrom urged complete Co
operation between all veteran organi-
cations.

MUST FINISH TERM
Wealthy Texan COnfesses He Is
Escaped Convict.
Was Sentenced to Five Years
in Pen Twenty Years Ago.

Mission, Tex, Oct. -31.-After elud-
ing suspicion for over twenty years
and in that time becoming a wealthy
man. Louis Ma1let. AS, is today con-
fined in a narrow cell of the ram
shackle city Jail here. He is held
on the charge of being an escaped
convict. Mallet acknowledged his
Identity to Rangers r. A. Boyd and
W. S. Peterson, who made the arrest.
Escaped Cell in 1901.
In December, 1900, MalIet was SEN
fenced to five years in the state peni-
tertiary on two counts. charged with
stealing. In June, 1901, while serving
his sentence at the Huntsville prison
farm, he escaped.
Changing his name to that of Vii
lareal, his mothers maiden name, he
settled near here and married. From
this marriage, twin girls were born
seventeen years ago. Shortly after
their advent. his wife died, and he
wife knew of his record, nor did he
reveal his secret to his daughters.
He Helped Parker.
Hard work and business ability soon
made him one of the wealthiest citi-
zens Of the community and he is now
considered one of the largest land
owners in the Rio Grande valley. His
real value and stability were brought
out. however, during the bandit trou-
Bile along the border in 1915 and 1916,
for then he joined the American forces
as a scout and rendered valuable sery-
ice to General Parker. His arrest was
brought about by Identification thru
an old picture which came into the
possession of the rangers.
In his cell today, MalIet was con-
ferring with his wife and daughters,
who remain loyal to him, explaining
his various business deals in order that
they may handle his affairs while he
serves out his unexpired sentence i'm
posed over twenty years ago.
