KELLER OF MINNESOTA
ATTACKS PARTY RULE

Washington. Aug. IAN attack
on the administration In general and
on the House Ways and Means Com
mittee particularly for its handling
of the tariff and tax questions made
in a statement issued to-day by Rep
resentative Keller. independent Re-
publican OF st. Paul. Mimi. author
of four tax revision bills which have
been Endorsed by organizations Of
farmers and others.
Mr.. Keller charges that the ina
chinery of Government has been COM
Wandered by little cliques, ignorant
of the A. B. C.'s Of economies. whose
blind obedience to Wall street is re-
sponsible for the stupid, selfish,
shortsighted policy that is %retarding
our prosperity and creating profound
distrust and discomfort among the
people.
Declaring that most members Of
the House want to carry out the peo-
pies wishes with regard to taxation
and other economic questions, Mr..
Keller says a little dominant minor
ity has held down the safety valve OF
free discussion until an explosion I'm
ponds which will scatter the Republic
can party from Maine to California"
"The President has assumed more
power than any of his predecessors
Mr.. Keller continues. land tells Con-
gress what bills to pass and what not
to pass. Bills concocted at secret con-
ferences are introduced without be-
ing referred to a responsible commit
tee. The Presidents advisors seem
to think 1t possible for this country
to lift itself By its economic boot
straps and vaguely promise that half
a million dollar gift to the railroads
which in some mysterious manner Is
not to increase taxes-wfll restore
prosperity" They would do better
to busy themselves with lowering
rates, taking off the transportation
tax, and seeing to 1t that the rail-
roads are run efficiently, with a mini
mum of waste. But that Is not likely
SO long as railroad Legislatures can
depend upon the administration for
lavish gifts"

REPORTS INDIAN FINDS
RICH ORE AT JARBDGE

Elko, Nevada, Aug. 10.-Frank
winters of Jarbidge, who arrived In
this city last evening, Is authority for
the statement that a Jarbidge Indian
recently appeared in the northern
Elko County mining camp with three
sacks of gold ore said to assay from
5000 to $500 per ton. All efforts to
get him to impart information as to
where he made the find have failed.
He is said to be very superstitious
about telling where the discovery lies.
An offer of $500 in silver and treat
ment like that given the Indian who
discovered Tonopah offered no in
ducement for him. Prospectors have
watched him in vain In an endeavor
to find the rich lode.

POSTALS SAVINGS

With the Endorsement of the Fed
eral Reserve Board and the savings
banks of the country. Postmaster
General Hays is about to undertake
a campaign to increase the deposits
in the postals savings branch of the
Government. Reforms in the system
necessary to this end are under con-
s~ideration, according to Washington
advices. Among these reforms is the
very important one of increasing the
interest rate from 2 to 8 per cent,
the deposition to receive interest on
funds held less than one year. Other
changes include compensation for
fourth-class postmasters for handling
the business in order to increase the
number Of Offices receiving postals
savings deposits, the placing of funds
in local banks and a more liberal ar
rangement by which depository banks
may qualify.
Treatment of ~depositors in the pos
tai savings system in the past has not
been particularly creditable. Indeed,
1t has amounted almost to fraud.
With $161.000.00O on deposit last
year from 508.000 depositors through
out the country, and with the law
providing that Q per cent interest be
paid, the Government actually paid
less than one and one-half per cent,
while. by redepositing the savings
at two and one-half per cent, 1t made
a net profit of approximately $1,720,-
900. This is sheer ~proiteering. The
postals savings certificates pledge
the Government to pay two per cent
interest and fail to say anything
about failure to pay interest on funds
on deposit less than a year.
There has been a decided decrease
in the number of postofices receiving
postals savings. The total dropped
from 1898 Offices in 1912 to 6314
in 1920. Some of this decrease can
be accounted for by the aggressive
campaigns In behalf of the Liberty
loan and war savings stamps issues.
But the chief factor in the decrease
has been the ungenerous treatment
of depositors in the postal banks.
Manifestly, IL the system is to be re-
habilitated 1t must be along the lines
proposed by the postmaster general.

N FORD'S
RAILROAD RATES

In the automobile business Henry
Ford can cut prices as much as he
likes without a protest; n IL he
we're In the grocery business. the
candy business or any other industry
not yet taken over by the Govern
ment there would be nothing but en-
couragement for all the slashing he
could do. The public needs lower
prices. . 1t approves of them heartily.
But In the railroad business, as Mr..
FORD has discovered, rates must be
lowered slowly and with care lest
they come as too great a shock to the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
his competitors.
1t was Henry Ford's contention
that he could haul stone from Sibley
to Detroit al a rate 20 per cent less
than the rate in vogue. All he asked
was permission to do it. The COM
mission raises its hands in horror at
a proposition at once 30 illegal and Sc
dangerous to the public veal. The
Detroit and Ironton railroad will have
10 content itself with a reduction OF
6 cents a month In order that every
body concerned may have a chance to
adjust schedules and get out from
under.
According to the theory upheld by
this ruling. every railroad in the
country should be compelled to
charge as much for every sort of
transportation as the least efficient,
least used and most thoroughly plum
dered are compelled to charge in or
der to make a profit. The plan COM
bines all the advantages Of private
ownership to the stockholders with
none of the advantages to the public
that might result from competition.

u EARNINGS


It Is estimated that the late Enrfco
Caruso was heard by 3,500.00o Amer
leans during his 1000 opera perform
ances in this country in eighteen
years. When we a. 100000 Amer
leans, of course, that figure must not
be taken to mean that 100000 din
erent individuals heard him. Rath-
err, that number of admissions Is
shown by the record, many persons
no doubt having heard him sing e v
eral hundred times.
Caruso appeared at the Metropoli-
tan opera house. New York. $50
times. His total number of perform
ances in the United States was $50.
He gave 1000 performances.
His annual income, according to
reports, was 100000. From the
sale of music records he received
$4,000 1t is estimated. For each
Metropolitan performance he received
$1,000. He gave a number of special
performances at Havana. Mexico City
and Buenos Aires, for which he re-
ceived $4,000 each.
While his services commanded
hight prices, none begrudged the cost
of hearing him. for Caruso was one
luxury worth paying for.

LAZINESS

The Country Gentleman: Most ef-
forts Of Government to insure, guar
antee or stabilize industries end in
disappointment. England's expert
ment is guaranteeing the prices of
farm products and fixing wages of
farm labor is the latest eloquent ex-
ample. 1t has been Abandoned as a
failure.
The thought was that this war
time measure, carried over into re-
construction. would encourage pro-
duction, lift farm standards and pro-
vide an ample supply of good farm
labor. But the official autopsy is dis
illusioning: Agriculture became
slovenly. Tillage was poorly done.
Good husbandry left the farm"
1t has been ever thus. We, as a ma
tion tried out the idea of aggravated
price with our cost-plus war cor
tracts, and the waste, extravagan,J
and i~neficiency that ensued will re-
main a bitter memory to the taxpay-
ers of this generation and possibly
the next.
We tried 1t out with the railroads.
both rate and wage fixing. and gen.
eral stagnation resulted.
Progress has lev marched with
guaranteed results and soft things.
but rather with competition and hard
contest. Our frontiers were not rolled
back by men working for assured re-
wards but by hardy heroes who asked
nothing better than a chance to fight
for success. Had we guaranteed the
profits of the old-time fail maker
probably none would have thought
to invent the thresher.
Let him who doubts that contest is
the Almighty's plan go watch the
spear Of grass struggling to exist.
Those who urge. as panaceas. COM
munism, socialism, price and wage
guarantees. Government ownership
and what not r trying to improve
Gods plan. but in the centuries that
have elapsed since 1t was uttered
nothing has transpired that calls for
a revision of the declaration: HE

FIRST DOWN

According to figures recently is
sued by the Federal Reserve Board.
the wholesale value Of farm products
in the United States is now but Is
per lent above prewar levels. IL we
add to this the fact that these pro-
ducts have reached the world mar
kets by payment of freight charges
far in excess of prewar rates. 1t is
clear to see that the farmer on his
farm is practically down to prewar
income, as completely Debated as a
child's balloon after an all-day so
journ at a county fair.
Not only that, but the farmer Is
the first man down to rock bottom.
Even the food which he has raised is
quoted at Al per cent above prewar
levels, after it has changed its clothes
and appeared upon the shelves under
its various newly acquired names; by
which we understand why there Is as
yet hardly a speaking acquaintance
between a bushel of wheat and a loaf
of bread.
Clothes and clothing materials are
yet So per cent above prewar levels.
fuel 80 per cent and building ma
terials 1913 per cent. House furnish
ings are 174 per cent, and "all com
modities'' average 54 per cent above
what was required to purchase neces-
stiles before the war broke out.
Retail prices lag still further, show
ing the tenacity with which every
man hangs on to all the price which
he may by any possibility extract.
The more hands 1t passes through,
therefore, the slower will the COM
modify come down and the longer it
will be in reaching bedrock.
The farmers stuff goes at once and
direct to an open market where 1t
brings whatever competitive buying
will pay for it, with no artificial in
fiation. This is often forgotten by
the consuming public, which does not
always understand the farm products
are the only commodities that con-
tain no artificial or arbitrary price
elements.
Even II the farmer is the first man
down, however, he may count him
self fortunate. There are no smokeless
chimneys above his great food fac
tory. He is growing this years crop
at the least cost In several years. 1t
is a safe bet that there is not in all
this country from Maine to California
and from the Lakes to the Gulf a
single bona-ide farmer out of a job
to-day.
And this is what counts. For jobs
mean more than wages. This Is a
lesson we have all to learn, and the
farmer has learned 1t first of all;
wherefore he may count himself
lucky.
The farmer will Away have a job
and plenty to eat. The first man
down should be the first man up

ESCAPES FROM PRISON FARM

jog Cranmer. who was n of the
convicts working under guard at the
State prison farm. was sent to the
barn Friday noon to get a hay team,
but instead he mounted a dapple
gray horse and headed for the hifis
east of the farm. The fact that he
had taken flight was quickly discov-
cred and officers were sent in pursuit.
The trail was easily followed. but the
nan was not captured when the

been sent from Churchill County to
serve a n to fifteen years sentence

SCREENED FROM VULGAR EYES
Only q short Time Age the Japansss
Emperor and His Heir Lived
Lives Apart

There must be many Japanese still
living whs can remember when their
countrymen would have regarded with
horror the manner In which the crown
prince allows himself to be gazed up
on by foreign crowds.
So late as 1867 no Japanese was
allowed to look upon the emperor. who
lived life apart In the seclusiOn Of
his palace. All that was seen of him
by those who waited on his commands
was his back. When the rule was first
modified to the extent of his leaving
the palace, all shutters had to be put
up, all blinds drawn, and even the
crevices covered with paper, and no
one was permitted In the streets.
Vast changes have taken place since
then. but even today 1t is not consid-
cred quite proper and respectful by the
masses of the people to look at the
emperor or his heir when they drive
through the streets.

FIND DIAMONDS IN ARKANSAS
Largest Stone Ever Discovered, IN
Place. Was Drawn From the
Mud Of Pike County.

Most Of the worlds diamonds come
from greensh-gray volcanic rock
called peridotite. found principally in
South Africa, but the largest stone
ever found "in place" In the United
States came from the black gumbo
mud of Arkansas. Down in Pike
county biologists discovered the larg-
est "plpe" of peridOtite in the world,
larger in circumference than the IA
nous Kimberley pipe and of unknown
depth. Covering the mouth Of the
pipe was layer of heavy gumbo
clay. perpetually wet and sticky. de-
fiant alike to the tools Of agriculture
and mining.
Owing to the dislntegration Of the
surface soil and the action of the
weather during many centuries this
layer Of gumbo was found to hold
diamonds. But nobody ever mined
diamonds from mud before. The his
tory Of diamond mining In India. and
South Africa contained no reference
to extracting gems from such mate

neers had brand-new problem on
their hands. They tried putting the
gumbo through IIardnge mill, a
contrivance resembling a rotary con-
crete mixer. with small granite blocks
tumbling over each other and crush
ing whatever kind OF rock or earth IL
poured in at the top. But the gumbo
wouldn't respond. They tried reduc-
ing 1t with streams of water, but the
gumbo formed sticky black balls that
wouldn't disntegrate.
Finally after much experiment they
found Il solution. They poured the
damp clay into revolving cast-iron
cylinder, and by means Of strOYg
draucht forced flames through the
tumbling mass. Thoroughly dried by
the intense neat. with the result that
II slaked Ike qucl;lime and became
a thin paste, with all its sickness

1t was by this process that a IL
carat canary fragment was taken
