Power Farming Made to Pay

Roy Furry, of Carrollton, Mo-, is a
real power farmer. He operates a
farm of about 280 acres and does
most of the work with tractor and
motor cultivator. He keeps a close
account of his operations and can tell
you to the penny just what it costs
him to do all the different jobs that he
performs with his tractor.
According to a report which he
gives in the Missouri Ruralist, he
finds that the blowing for the last two
years has cost him, exclusive of la
Dor, from so to 65 cents an acre, de-
pending upon the cost of fuel. Disk
ing has been found to cost about 20
cents an acre, drilling 80 cents an
acre. He says that this year he
learned something about drills so that
next year he can cut down his cost of
seeding. Grain cutting was done at
cost of Is cents an acre. His haul
ing was done with two large farm
wagons drawn by the tractor. He
hauled his grain a distance of six
miles and was able to make three
trips a day, averaging about 3to
bushels per day. His hauling costs
were approximately 3 IL cents per
bushel, which is much better than has
been done over such distance with
teams.
Furry is crank on fabrication. He
insists on having the right kind of oil
and believes in perfect cleanliness. The
fact that he has ruk one of his tract
ors 534 hours without removing a bolt
to make any adjustments would tend
to show that he has the right idea in
this respect.
Mr.. Furry's own idea of power
farming is that its success depends
mainly on the man. He must be will
ing to study his machine and its re-
quirements, find out just what will
make it give best results to the best
and then never deviate
from the best practice.

Walsh Warns Republicans Against
Purchased Seats

Senator Walsh of Montana, brought
out briefly, but not the less forcibly,
the vital points at issue in the New.
berry contest when he recalled "a
time in our history when it was re-
garded as no discredit to a man to
have achieved a seat in this body by
corrupt means, and said:
81 address myself to members upon
the Republican side of this body: Are
you prepared to publish to the world
that the return of the Republican par
ty to power marks the restoration of
the era when seats in the United
States Senate were purchasable?
take warning! Take warning!
The people of this great republic who
love it so well that they barred their
breasts and poured forth their treas
ure without limit to repeal foreign
foe, will not suffer it to fall into ruin
because of those insidious but not less
deadly enemies who assail it from
within.
at is said that the integrity of our
institutions is involved in this con-
test. 1t s; but say to you that the
permanence of our SOCIAL order is no
less involved"

isfies no one. Senator Shoots con-
fession that it is mere makeshift is
an opinion shared by many Of his col
leagues in both Houses. by the bust
ness world generally and by taxpay-
ers large and small. 1t hes been de-
nounced by Democratic leaders, com
prising the only tax and tariff ex-
perts in both Houses, as "the worst
tax bill ever presented in any Con-
gress." AS passed by the Senate it
contains S33 amendments, largely in
its administrative features, which no.
body understands, and although Re-
publican Senators have been openly
challenged on the floor to explain these
amendments, none has had the temer-
ity to attempt an explanation, al
though some have openly confessed
their ignorance.
The few amendments that have i'm
proved the original bill were made by
Democrats and presented by a Demo-
cratic Senator. The one outstanding
amendment was the 80 per cent high
err surtaX, later accepted by the Re-
publican Progressives and its accept
ance forced upon Chairman Penrose
of the Finance Committee and his fell
low-reactionaries in order to avert h
party split
In the House the higher surtax did
cause split, when "a Republicans
voted with the Democrats to accept
the Senate amendment of so per cent
instead of adhering to the House
amendment of 32 per cent.
This vote, cast by "a Progressives
of his own party, was a severe but
deserved rebuke to President Harding,
who had repeated his obstructive in
reference with Congress by writing
a letter pleading for the 32 per cent
rate, which would relieve multimil-
lionaires and profteers only, and sug-
gesting compromise of 40 per cent. |
1t is significant that this Progress
sive Republican vote for the higher
surtax all came from the West, and |
truly reflected the spirit of revolt |
against reactionary Republicanism
which is now prevalent throughout |
that section as it was in 1912.

Heilin Prophesies Defeat of New
berry Supporters

Senator Hefin (Dem., Ala.) made
this prophetic declaration in telling
speech against the withdrawing of
Senator Newberry:
"The way Senators voted on a
question like this resulted in the re-
tirement of some of them, as the Sen
ator from Oklahoma (Mr. Owen) sug-
gested. have heard of Senators who
were defeated because they voted to
seat Lorimer. That same thing is 60
ing to happen in the Newberry case.
1t ought to happen, because when Sem
ators make up their minds to vote to
seat one in this body whose counsel

Federal court.
That Newberry failed to testify in
his own behalf either in the Federal
court or before the Senate Committee
on Privileges and Elections, although
at the criminal trial some of his CO.
defendants had testified for him.
Senator Mcclellan, Dem, Tenn,
supplied the information that in pre-
vious contests, when the seats of Sem
ator Smoot of Utah, Senator Lorimer
of Illinois and Senator Stephenson of
Wisconsin were challenged all three
took the stand in their own behalf, and
added: $50 far as have been able to
find out, the sole and only contestee
whose seat has been contested in this
body who has ever stood mute when
he was charged with all manner of
crimes and misdemeanors, was the
contestee in this case, Mr.. Newber-
ry.")
That the general denial of Newberry
concerning his knowledge of the ex-
penditures of money and the conduct
of the campaign are disproved by the
evidence of numerous witnesses.

Senator POmerene Calls Newberry
TCga "a Dirty Rag"

|
Senator Pomerene (Dem., Ohio. J,
closed his great speech reviewing the
notorious and scandalous Newberry
case before the Senate with this bis
tering excoriation of Senator Newber-
ry:
"Mr. President, it SO happens that
there can be only two Senator's from
each sovereign state at one time-only
two. When the voters Of state go to
their wardrobe and take from it the
senatorial toga and drape it around
the shoulders of one of their favorite
sons he is indeed honored but when
some rich man who aspires to that
honor builds out of good dollars a
stairway leading into that wardrobe
and takes from it the senatorial toga,
whether it is done by himself or by
his millionaire friends. the toga is no
longer a robe of honor; it is a dirty
rag that disgraces him that wears it."
The discussion of the Newberry
election scandal in open session in the
Senate, as forecasted in this CORE
spondence, has had little publicity in
the daily press due to the volume of
news from the conference on the
Limitation of Armaments, condition
foreseen by the Republican defenders
of Newberry when they refused to
postpone the case and forced it to a
hearing at this time.
The case against Newberry, at this
writing, has been presented by two of
the ablest lawyers of the Senate, Sen
ators Pomerene of Ohio and Walsh of
Montana, but notwithstanding their
review of the hundreds of scandalous
incidents and their truly wonderful
analysis of the evidence, the Republi-
can reactionary membership of the
Senate has continued to absent itself
from the chamber. On the other
hand, Progressive Republicans like
Senator Kenyon of Iowa and Borah of
Idaho, have attended the hearing and
have taken part in the COLONIES
tending to develop the facts and the
arguments.
The review of the testimony and the
arguments thereon may be summar-
lied in the main as follows:
That approximately $263,OOO was
spent in the interest of Newberry In |
the primary content, $4,000 of which |
is admitted.
That the money was supplied large
ly by members of the Newberry fam
lily, including transfers of money from |
Truman Newberry's account and that |
of other members of the family to |
that of his brothers.
That Newberry protested against
the huge sums spent and drawn from
the accounts to keep his brothers. ac-
count from being overdrawn, and
wanted to know when the heavy ex-
penses would cease.
That the expenditures were in vio-
lation of the Michigan laws.
That Newberry had hand in the
selection of the manager of his cam
raign and of the campaign commit
tee and received frequent reports of
he progress of the campaign.
That the books showing the trans
fers of money in the Newberry ac-
counts and other campaign records
are missing and were missing at the
time of the trial Of Newberry in the

travagant expenditures, then they

WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, D. c., Nov. 28.-Con-
fession that the Republican party is
incompetent to frame and pass a tax
bill that will meet the needs of the
government and the expectations of
the people was made by Senator Reed
Smoot (Rep., Utah. when he said:
"After carefully comparing the bill
with the existing law / reached the
conclusion that some, if only slight
improvement, was offered by it. At
the same time do not regard the
bill as the kind of tax revision meas
ure the people of this country are en-
titled to. On the other hand, am
fearful Of the effect on the country of
further delay in letting it know what
taxes are to be paid next year. After
all, the bill car only be regarded as a
temporary one, which is certain to be
set aside next year when real tax re-
vision must be undertaken"
The full force of this confession of
the incompetence of his party by one
of its ablest leaders can best be I'M
derstood in the light of brief history
of the way in which tn Republican
party has first delayed and then mud
died tax revision.
Following the Congressional cleo
tons of 1918. when the Republican
party came into power in both Houses,
there was an insistent demand by Re-
publican leaders, especially by Mon
dell and others in the House, for a
special session, in order. as they said,
to revise the tax laws and adjust them
to the transition period between war
and peace.
President Wilson called special
session, and On May 20, 1919, in spe-
cial message outlined the principles of
tax revision which should be followed,
and specifically recommended changes
to be made. The Republican Congress
fiddled and fooled away the entire Pc
Rod of its existence without coming to
the relief of business or doing any
thing to adjust taxes to changed con-
ditions.
At the last national election an
other Congress, Republican in both
branches, by large majorities was
elected. After a special session,
which has lasted eight months, it has
produced a tax bill, which a great
party leader and authority like SEN
ator Smoot of Utah says is only
slightly better than the old war-tax
system-a tax bill framed and passed
hurriedly and under great stress of |
the government with rev.
enues to run great war.
He further confesses that the bill
is only a makeshift, temporary CON
.rivance, which means that before bus
mess can adjust itself to the new law,
before the administrative features of |
the law can be passed upon by the
courts, that the law itself is to be set
aside, and that the Republicans must
again resume their tinkering and
oungling of a subject which they ad-
nit they do not understand.

sent the executive with n fve-pound
box of the candy. Not being expert
enced in such matters. she stationed
herself at a corner where she knew
the presidential car would pass. She
had in advance arranged with the
crossing policeman to stop the car
and it was the young lady's idea to
make pretty speech to Mr.. Harding
as she passed the box through the
window of his car.
But the car didn't stop, despite the
hand movements of the traffic police
man. Determined to carry out her
mission, the young lady tossed the
box through the window. but it was
caught by a secret service operative,
who instantly tossed it to the street.
He was taking no chances on bombs.
