Harding Demands
States Raise Coin
For Road Upkeep

President HARDING intends to halt
Federal appropriations for the aid
cf States in highway construction
until the States provide adequate
means for the maintenance Of the
roads constructed.
The executive is of the opinion
that the States should mako vehicle
license fees sufficiently high to
cover the cost of road maintenance,
and he Is opposed to granting Fed
eral aid to States which fail to
make adequate provision for up
keep.
The Executive feels so strongly
on the question that he probably
would veto any legislation which
fails to make road appropriations
conditional upon q proper discharge
Of State obligations.
Roads have been built at vast
expense with Federal aid. but they
proved unequal to the wear of mo-
tor and truck traffic. The States
failed to maintain the highways in
repair and complete reconstruction
is now necessary.

Historic Battle.


Washington. = Belleau, the little
French village on the edge of the foot
hills of Belleau Wood, Is to be rebuilt
by Americans as a memorial to the
American dead in that historic battle.
There were only about IS houses in

Near the village, On a hillside, white
crosses mark the graves of the heroes
who fell in that battle, and as a last
ing memorial to them, the American

in the project will be inscribed in
book to be deposited in the city hall
n the new village Of Belleau by the
3elleau Wood Memorial association,
Of which Mrs. James Carroll Fraser of
this city is chairman.
President Harding, Gen. Pershing,
Secretary Weeks and various others
have indorsed and supported the move
ment. The late Chief Justice White

NEW AGRICULTURAL
PROGRAM PLANNED
BILL PASSED BY BOTH HOUSES
TO BE SENT TO THE PRESI-
DENT SOON.
TO ELIMINATE MIDDLEMAN
Many Measures Intended to Save Thou
sands to AgricuIturists and Re-
duce Cost of Living Will Be
Carried Through.

! WashingtoR.-The agricultural bloc
In Congress, which Is making the pow,
er of the farmers felt in national af.
fairs as seldom before, has mapped
out an extensive program of proposed
/ legislation and pressing for immediate
action thereon.
The packer regulation bill, passed
/ by both houses and soon to be sent to
the presid a., is to be followed by the
bill prohit9 taxing future trading
on grain exchanges. This bill has been
passed by the house and is now pend
ing in the senate.
The next on the program in the or
der Of importance is the Capper bill
, authorizing associations of agricult-
ural producers. Explaining this meas
ure, Senator Capper said:
"Underf existing statutes the legal
ity of cooperation is constantly uues-
tened. Cooperative associations have
been presented an dharassed by self
tsh business interests. This bill does
not ask for class legislation. 1t does
not seek to exempt cooperative organi-
cations from the provisions of the an
thrust laws. but its purpose is only to
clearly define the rights of these Or
CARNATIONS so that there will be no
misunderstanding as to where they
stand
Our system of marketing Is the
costliest and most inefficient in the
world, for the reason that farmers
are compelled to pay daily tribute to
a group of men who render no serv-
ice to either the producer or the con-
sumner. In broad way this bill seeks
to eliminate the speculative middle
man and the unnecessary profit-takers.
Both political parties Endorsed this
measure in their national platforms,
and all the farm organizations have
memorialized congress to pass it
promptly. The bill also has the ap-
proval Of Secretary Wallace.t
Another measure on the program is
the Capper Truth in Fabric" bill,
which provides for compulsory stamp
ing of cloth and the Identification of
shoddy.
The bloc is also backing the cold
storage bill to make available for the
use of the government a record of
foodstuffs held in cold storage and the
location of such cold storage ware
houses, to require warehouses in which
foodstuffs are held to be kept in a san
itary condition, and the foodstuffs so
marked as to determine readily the
ownership of any date when such food
stuffs were placed in storage.
Senator Kenyon of Iowa has con-
tributed to the program a bill provid-
ing for truthful labelling of paints,
oils, turpentines and varnishes. The
bill provides that there shall be shown
the percent of the various ingredients
entering into the composition Of such /
paints, oils and varnishes.

TO TEST VoLsTEAD LAW.
DistilIers Seek to Recover Liquor in
Warehouses.

Chicago.-A suit to test provisions
| Of the eighteenth amendment and the
Volstead law has been filed in the
United States district court by former
Senator ]. Hamilton Lewis, in an al
tempt to recover whisky valued at
100000 stored in Chicago warehouses.
The plaintiffs are distillers nd 100
owners of bonded whisky. The bill
does not attack the validity of the
prohibition amendment or OF the Vol
stead law, but alleges no provisions
OF either measure can apply to whisky
deposited in government warehouses
by the direction of the government
before either measure was passed.
where the goods are now owned by
the same owners who deposited the
liquors on a contract to have it re-
turned when the government tax was
paid.
The principal new point of the CON-
plainants is that the provision Of the
constitution against manufacture Of
liquor referred to manufacture after
and not before passage of the amend
ment. They also claim they have a
right, under the law, 90 sell the whisky
for medicinal use.
