ed so that he can settle the minor
problems growing from this debt.
Naturally. as he said. he would do
nothing as to final settlement with
out the approval OF Congress.
These matters are all important
but one Of the most significant things
about his whole address. was the
way In which he stated his feelings
regarding the powers OF the chief
executive and those OF Congress.
He not only does NOT want more
power but he feels that the powers
OF the President are too great now
Let me read that part OF his adj
dress to you. It is certainly re-
freshing to hear a President who
knows that he does not know II ALL
and besides Is not only willing to
listen to the advice Of those who
know more than ne does on certain
subjects but SEEKS THAT ADVICE.

dent is tho tariff. In a general way,
he would have a permanent tariff
law passed at once and give more
power to the Federal Tariff Commits
sion to straighten out the details.
Enemies OF a protective tariff law,
that Is. a law that would keep cheap
articles from being dumped into
this country from foreign coun-
tries to undersell our own prod
ucts, feel that this would be
hard on some OF the countries suf-
fering from the war President
Harding believes that there are suf-
ficient means TO avoid extreme ex-
olusion OF foreign products, or the
reverse. which would be the food
ing OF our markets with the same
products. He would have provisions
that would give the President power
to mdoify rates after recommenda-
pions from the tariff commission, so
that the United States can keep OIL
buying as we'll as selling and at the
some time protect our markets, our
labor and our industries from a
flood OF cheap goods from Europe.
rms plan Is the most sensible lndi
could be proposed. The status of
foreign finances and industry must
be stuffed before hard and fast rules
can be laid down. IL would mean
that rates would be changed to meet
changing conditions of the world
Under such an arrangement a per-
manent tarin law can be framed and
put on our boots
AN interesting fact regarding this
message OF President Harding is that
az was the first time in years that
Congress listened to a presidential
message that dealt so prominently
with domestic problems It was the
first time in years that a President
addressed Congress when the United
States was at peace with all the
world. And not only at peace. but
with no prospect OF war in the future
and on the eve Of the success Of the
arms conference in making gains to-
ward a goal Of permanent peace for
all the world.
president Harding also asked
Congress for authority so that no
can deal with the foreign countries
owing us money amounting to aboui

Dallas, Or, Nov. I'D. M. ana
F.. M. Housh have applied to the
circuit court for sne appointment
of a receiver, for an accounting
and for the dissolution OF their
partnership with W. c. Lee. The
case involves the paving done In
Dallas during the past season.
The Houshes set forth that they
were given the contract to do the
having, and that they assigned Inc
contract to w. G. Lee under an
agreement by which they were to
share in the profits. The petition
filed in court Wednesday, sets
forth that this division has not
been made, and that Mr.. Lee ap-
narently has no inclination to
make such division. 1t is there
fore asked that the court restrain
Lee from collecting and expending
further amounts. putting IN
charge a receiver, who Will take

Court Asked To
Decide Owner
Of Prune Crop

Dallas, Or, Nov. 1S.-The Cali
.fornia Packing company has start
ed an unusual case in the district
court.
It seeks to have the court speci-
fy whether it shall pay $G64.lS
that it owes for prunes to Charles
p. or Anna L. Cooper. The cor
noration says that both Of them
are claiming the amount, that 1t
owes the sum and is perfectly Will
ing to pay, but has no means of
knowing who is entitled to the
money.
The Cooper's had divorce case
in court last August at which tine
Anna L. Cooper sued her husband,
Charles C. Cooper, alleging that
her husband possessed a peculiar
and unnatural disposition. and
that he would cultivate the crops
and appropriate the proceeds to
his own use and that the family
was compelled to live in a small
and undesirable house. but in
1918 they built a new house and
after the house was ready for oc-
cupation Mr.. Cooper refused to
live with HIS family. and that It
--os Necessary for her and the chill
make . living BY selling

butter and eggs. Mr.. Cooper am
swered the complaint by saying
that the land was his by right, and
that his wife had attempted to
beat him out of 1t. When the case
was heard in court the court de-
cided that neither OIL them ware
entitled to divorce.
The petition in the recent case
gives an interesting account OF the
dealings with the Coopers for the
past two years. 1t recites that In
1920 the Coopers were paid sh
cents pound for their dried
prunes, whereas they are recelv-
ing 91s cents for the fruit this
year The advance is 50 noticeable
that it should prove interesting,
and shows that prunes are sure to
be profitable crop.
