URGED To WORK
FOR LOWER TAX
Burden Too. Heavy for
People to Garry, Says
Committee Report.
Federal Reserve Banks
Asked to Grant More
Long Time Credits.

Topeka, Kan. Nov. 11.-Opposition
to any candidate for public office not
pledged to restriction of taxes was
urged in the report Of the committee OF
legislation and resolution presented
Thursday to the convention Of the Ma
tional Farmers union, in session here.
Recommendation was made that mem
bers of the union use their strength at
the polls to elect officials who would
bring about rigid economy in the ex-
penditure of public funds.
State, local and highway taxes are
growing so rapidly that they threaten
the confiscation of farms and homes,
said the report. 'sWe urge that our
state and local unions exert their whole
strength to abolish unnecessary of
fices. boards and commissions, and the
institutions of experimental and costly
highway projects"
The report demanded that all federal
reserve banks be required by amend
ment of the federal reserve act, to ac-
cept farm paper running for six months
to one year, for redisc0unt and an
amendment to the federal farm act
authorizing loans to run from one to
three years.
The report endorsed the offer Of
Henry Ford to purchase the Muscle
Shoals nitrate plant of the government.
Absolute separation of the American
farm bureau federation from the agri-
cultural colleges, the agricultural ex-
tension service and the department of
agriculture Of the federal government
was also demanded.

Inside Story"
OfCOnference
and How Idea
Was Realized

Washington. Nov. l7.-lBy The
Associated Press. .)-Who formu-
lated and executed the call for the
armament conference? Who evoly-
ed the American proposal for naval
limitation?
The country has been asking
these questions for the last week
and has been hearing a variety of
answers The best "inside story.
in Washington Thursday has all
the earmarks of being the correct
answer.
President Harding. ON a week
end cruise down the Potomac early
this autumn, so the story runs,
locked himself in his stateroom one
evening and left word he did not
wish to be disturbed because he
was writing. A little later he call
ed to his room, one by one, some
close friends in public life who had
accompanied him, and laid before
them some sheets of paper on
which he had written with lead
pencil, and with frequent correc-
tions and interlineations, some
thing which they all read with
amazement and greatest interest.
1t was the invitation to the ma
tions to the arms conference.
After some conference among
the party, it was decided TO for
ward the text to Secretary Hughes,
and the yacht Mayflower, laid up
fer the night in the still waters
of scheduled cove in the reaches
Of the river. buzzed off from her
wireless that night to the STATE
department, the words which la,er
were to ring around the world.
OF course, the preliminary diplo-
matte feeler was transmitted to
the nations concerned, but it is
said that the text of the final and
formal invitation as it went ont
was substantially the same as the
president had conceived it that
night while resting On the yacht
Mayflower.
The evolution of the concrete
American proposals for limitation
Secretary Hughes bombshell-
also heard around the world at the
first session. is still another story.
Some admirers have ascribed
them to Secretary Hughes alone,
while some other persons have de-
clared they we're the composite
efforts of the four American
delegates of whom Mr.. Hughes is
one. Everybody seems agreed they
were not drafted by naval officials.
and almost everybody had left out
President Harding. until Thurs
days inside story" began to cir
culate.
The great secret, to which
Arthur ]. Balfour referred so ar
tistically in his address of Tues
day, must indeed have been well
kept, because between seven and
10 men knew it. The number in
cluded the four American dele
gates and President Harding. The
others worked on various phases
of the proposal. 1t is known. of
course. that 1t was based on mem
oranda culled from the navy de-
partment and it was. carried into
execution by the American big
four which Secretary Hughes heads
bat the big idea" on which the
plan is built, the ''inside story
says came from President Harding.

The railroads representatives. or

carry goods by way of the Panama
canal than do the railroads to carr,

The railroads asked lower rates or
articles shipped from the Atlantic te
the Pacific coast. from The gulf coast
and interior manufacturing regions anG
from the Mississippi river territories
The proposed rates would be lower thar
the charges from the Pacific coast to
points east.
VIII Hurt West
The steamship lines attacked the
proposition on the ground that rates
from west to east will not be lowered
and thus the western manufacturer
will be Disseminated against; that the
reduction will injure the merchant ma
rine and that local rates in the interior
would not be reduced
The railroads, with Edward Chant
bers, vice president of the Atehison,
Topeka and Santa Fe, as spokesman,
asserted the reduction was necessary
to promote industrial progress, that
the railroads do not compete with the
merchant marine as the railroads carry
mostly the finished product while the
ships carry the raw material, and that
the prospect of the abandonment of
canal tolls would result in industrial
stagnation and disaster to many roads,
The rates proposed. applying only
on direct runs to the coast, do not in
volve any Of the raw materials or the
staples such as coal, lumber, grain
and meats.
The roads. for instance, proposed a
blanket rate of $1.15 per hundred
pounds on canned goods going to the
Pacific coast instead of the present
rate of $1.s31a from New York: S1.50
from Chicago, and $1.1715 from Dem

A flat rate for iron and steel is
proposed instead Of the prevailing rate
Of S166 from New York or Pittsburgh.
S1.50 from Chicago, and $1.171a from
Denver.
The hearing will be continued Friday.
No decision is expected for several
weeks.

Railroad to Lacrosse

Our neighboring town of Lacrosse,
in Rush county, twenty-six miles
south of Hays, is now in the midst of
another Railroad talk and campaign.
Some time ago the Anthony-Bye
road got loan of the U. S. Govern
ment of $381,OO to pay off their
mortgage indebtedness and do some
improvement on their road. Later
they got a 100000 mortgage loan
of an Investment company, to include
the Government loan, to build four
teen miles of their road from the
Larned line to point on the Missouri
Pacific railroad, at ascost of $25O,0OO,
the balance of the money to be used
in improving their main line.
Recently Mr.. Byers was in La
Crosse, and wants to use the old
bonds voted years ago there and at
Rush Center. About twenty-five or a
few more attended, and it was gen
orally felt that new bonds should be
voted. but that as good conditions of

Golden Belt railroad guaranteed to
Illinois and Pleasantdale townships in
northeast, Rush county, give them a
depot, a side track and elevator anO
terminal facilities, the old petition
only guaranteeing to buy two acres OF
land in the township and build to the
depot grounds, with no other guaran-
tees as to time of completion. As the
mortgage issued viii prevent then
building further north for many
many years, they are also demanding
that the petition make it division

We hope Lacrosse may get 1t as II

wheat crops and let them ship around
