Thte farmers of Colorado are await
ing some reply from Governor Shoup
to Il suggestion from George Smith,
Il farmer. that legislation be enacted
permitting farmers to have two wives.
Smith declared all the problems con-
fronting farmers would be solved if

The governor made public the let
ter from Smith but declined comment.
Smith asked the governor to stand
sponsor for the necessary law which
would also limit the city man to one
spouse.
"You would be greater man than
Lincoln if you would have such law

need to hire help" wrote Smith.
Many boys would leave the city to
live on the farm SO they could have
two wives"

SWAT THE CHECK ARTIST

Retail merchants especially and all
business men generally of the State
are tremendously agitated over the
passage of a law that will make it
possible to punish man who wilfully
and continuously issues bad checks.
Under the present law if a man has
an account in a bank, though only a
few cents, he cant successfully be pun
i>hcd for drawing checks against such
account hut which are sure to come
back marked insufficient funds. "
Merchants of the State are demanding
of this legislature, not the passage Of
II drastic law which would work il
hardship upon those who have no in
tcntion of committing fraud, bur
they do want law that will provide
punishment for those professional bad
check artists. Representatives. from
this section Of the State are urged To
take an active interest in the passage
OF such Legislation.

Diplomats Here
Likely to Be
Called In.
DEZAYM CABLES
STILL UNSOLVED
Adequacy Of Scheme
Of Payments Is.
Point to Decide.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The German counter proposals on
reparations were discussed at length
today at the regular meeting Of
President Harding's cabinet. but If
any decision was reached the fact
was carefully concealed.
Those attending the meeting main
tanned absolute silence on the subject
and would not say even that the Ger
was known. however. that Secretary
Hughes laid it before the President
and his advisers.
Secretary Hughes was informed that
the German proposals had been made
public in Berlin and that extracts
were being received here in press dis
patches He expressed lively inter-
est and asked for the dispatchs.
1t was stated at the State Depart
ment that the text of the German
communication as received here would
not be made public this afternoon.
Just before the cabinet met an
Department that the memorandum
from Berlin had been received dur
ing the night 'in fragments" and was
then under consideration by Secretary
Hughes
Department officers contended them
selves with the brief announcement
and refused to say what proposals
Germany had made. Secretary Hughes
took a big sheaf of papers to the
cabinet meeting.
Hangs on OMcial View.
Whether the proposals from Berlin
will be transmitted to the allied gov
ernments win depend upon the view
Of administration officers as to the
adequacy Of the payments which Ger
many agrees to make. Even should
the American government decide that
the proposals constitute a basis upon
which negotiations between the allies
and Germany could be resumed. it is
the understanding that the views Of
the allied diplomats here will be
sought before any further move is
made.
There was no explanation today Of
the delay in the receipt Of the Ger
man memorandum. The text was
handed to American Commissioner
Dresel at Berlin Sunday night, but it
did not begin reaching the depart
came in fragments. 1t was decided
early today and placed before Mr..
Hughes.
The group of Americans in Berlin
who were reported to have suggested
to DIR. walter Simons, the German
foreign minister. the sending of an
appeal to President Harding for medi-
alton in the reparations controversy
now are appealing to members Of
Congress to support the German ap-
peal.
Senators New. Indiana, and Short
ridge, California, and Representative
Kahn. California, are among those
who have received the cabled appeals.
There was no indication today that
the cablegrams would be considered
seriously by any of the recipients.
Senator Shortridge today made pub
lie a cablegram from Ludwig Hoefler,
a San Francisco lawyer and a member
of the American group in Berlin.

hope" the cablegram said. rely

REPUBLICANS SOON
TO cH00SE.LEADER
National Committee Will
Meet Here Within Six
Weeks.

The republican national committee
will meet in this city within the next six
weeks, the actual date not yet being
determined. to select a chairman to sue
ceed Will H. Hays. The meeting will
probably take place the first week in
June.
The presence in Washington today of
Vice Chairman John T. Adams of Iowa
and Elmer Dover of the state of Wash
ington, two of the leading candidates for
the office. has freshened gossip in con-
nection with the Craftsmanship. Mr.
Dover had a long talk with President
Harding yesterday and Mr. Adams will
see him during his stay here.
1t is the tacit understanding of repub-
lican politicians that the selection of a.
chairman will be left to the President. At
the opening of campaign the Presidents
choice is absolute and is usually defer
red to in case a change in the Office
comes about after election. especially in
instances such as the present. where a
vacancy entails Under such circum-
stances as operated to induce Mr.. Hays'
retirement.
1t is recognized that the President
may have some difficulty in reaching a
decision upon the man of his choice to
be intimated to the committee. Mr.
Adams, the vice chairman, is very popu-
lar with the committee through his long
service, and his splendid work in the last
campaign is familiar to the President
Mr.. Dover is an old friend of the
President and has strong backing in
the committee. He is in louch with
Ohio politicians and is highly thought
Of in the far west.
Carmi Thompson of Ohio, another
friend of the President, is a candi-
date for the craftsmanship. At one
time he was in the limelight as a pos
sible cabinet appointee. Mr.. Thomp-
son is a man of large means and it is
suggested in his behalf that he could
devote considerable personal attention
to the Office.
most popular and widely known men,
bers of the national committee. and
who, was exceedingly active in the
executive management of the last two
campaigns, is considered as available
timber.
Senator Harry S. New Of Indiana IS
frequently discussed as a possibility.
but his friends declare he would not
seek the place and would only accept
it on direct request from the Presi-
dent.
When the national committee meets
in June. the reorganization and
STRENGTHENING of the woman's bureau
will have been effected on an i'm
