Capital Chatter
BY H. B. HUNT

BY n. D. n U IN
 WASHINGTON, May 5.-The rail- road problem is causing President Harding more concern than the ques- ton of German separations.
 Harding makes no secret of his conviction that the railroad situation is most serious of all the problems now facing America.
 But Harding finds his hands abso- lutely tied in dealing with the rail- roads.
 Railroad legislation is, by law, in the hands of the Interstate Com merce commission and the Railroad Labor board. The president and the cabinet can only sit by on the side lines, urging, cajoling, pleading.
 The president has indicated that he rather thought it would be neces- cary to go over the heads of these bodies.
 This can mean only an appeal to congress for emergency legislation.
 Hence the question probably will be raised May 10, when the Interstate Commerce commission of the senate begins its railroad inquiry.
 Secretary of Commerce Hoover has evolved a new political doctrine that should be written. in history. It is:
 Politics is best served by good service
 It is by that creed that he is en- deavoring to gauge the applications for appointments in his department

Armed Mob Of Renters
Forces Landlord to
Return Rent Notes

Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct. 2o.-(Spe-
cial Telegram. tenants on Union
county farms have banded together
into an amateur Ku Klux Klan to
equalize, what they term, the inequal-
tiles between rents and the prices
they receive for their crops.
L. E. Norlin, extensive land owns
er, was visited last night by the
armed and masked gang. They de-
manded that he return to one of his
renters notes for $500 which he
gave in advance for the rent of the
farm. The mob informed Mr.. Nor
lin that the sale of the entire crop
at present prices would not bring
enough money to take up the notes.
Mr.. Norlin complied with the re-
quest of the mob, which Immediate
ly dispersed. County authorities
were notified of the mob's action
and started systematic search for
some clue as to the identity of the
members OF the mob. The work was
SO secretly done that no trace could
be obtained.
Threats that other land owners
would be treated in similar man-
ner has aroused the county officers
to take precautions to prevent am
other calling of the mob. Mr.. Nor
lin. Immediately after notifying the
county authorities, left the CITY.
