WOULD FORCE VOTE
ON F0RDNEY BILL
(By Associated Press


WASHINGTON. Jan. 31.-The Ford
ney emergency tariff bill, subject of
vehement charges and denials CT. fill
buster for the past week, today had
reached the critical stage of it's course
in the senate, with Republican leaders
prepared to bring it to a final test.
Under a plan of action adopted Sat
urlay Senator Penrose of Pennsyl-
vania, chairman of the finance COM
mittee, was authorized to ask again
today for unanimous consent on fixing
a date for a final vote on the measure.
1t was understood the senator would
propose Feb. Is as the date. Believ-
ing objection to fixing a time for
final vote almost certainly would be
forthcoming from Democratic oppon-
ents, Republican leaders had agreed
that as the next step Senator Penrose
would present a petition for cloture.
Prospects for obtaining the neces-
sary two-thirds vote to invoke cloture,
however, were admitted by Republican
managers to be exceedingly slim. Vote
on adoption of cloture, under the SEN
ate rules, would come next Wednes-
day In the event of failure either to
fix a date for a final vote or to adopt
cloture, Republicans said they would
be compelled to lay aside the tariff
measure and take up the accumulat-
ing money bills.

FAR SIGHTED POLICY
IS Being SHOWN BY
YOUNG BUSINESS men

A far-sighted business policy is at
the bottom OF the support given by
the Young Mems Business club to the
purebred stock raisers of Wayne coun-
ty, according to the president, Paul
James.
Stating that the plan to help the
horsemen with their sale is only part
Of the larger plan, Mr.. James said:
1--WE planned some time ago to put up
a sales pavilion for sales of all pure
bred stock, but as we have not built
it yet, it seemed to US as il we should
provide some other suitable place for
this sale. to start our plan working,
and to show what we are trying to
do" r.
Eve have ARA nged to get the Coli
scum" Mr.. James continued, "and will
put in a false floor. We will stand
all expenses Of furnishing sales
place for the horsemen, and they need
have none by personal expenses. That
is what We are trying to do in build
ing sales pavilion, where any pure
bred live stock. hogs. cattle, horses
or sheep, may be sold"
Brings Money
That this policy of encouraging the
Wayne county breeders will be advan-
tageous to the city as well as to the
farmers was intimated by Mr.. James
when he said, eff we can make this a
big stock center and get large yearly
sales, an immense amount of money
will be brought into the couny. 1t
may not be as much at first as later
when We increase the size of the sales
and their reputation, bringing in buy
ers from all over the country"
This opinion was seconded by Wal
ter Fulghum, who called attention to
Richmond's fitness for sales center,
on account of its railroad facilities, its
central location in q live stock sec
ton, and the start already made in
the large number of pure bred herds
in the county. "A man l visited the
other day." he said, showed me some
sheep worth only IS a piece, then took
for which he had paid $125. If we
can increase the price our farmers get
for their sheep this much, this would
be a richer country"
Will Draw Crowds.
IF we can specialize in pure stock"
he continued, eve soon will have buy
ers from everywhere coming to us
and we can guarantee good prices for
all stuff sold. In this horse sale we
have breeders from all over this
county, and also from near counties,
and even so far away as South
Charleston, Ohio. The bigger we can
make 1t the better the prices, and we
shall enable the man with only few
head of stock to put it with some
other mans and get as good price,
when he might not get buyer to
look at his own stock alone
