Washington, ID. c., April 18.-De-
claring that the house army appro-
priation bill will make it impossible
for the federal government to fulfill
its obligations to the national guard,
and that's it will destroy the morale
of the guard, Maj. Gen. George G..
Richards, chief of the militia bureau,
appealed to thes~ senate appropria-
tions committee today for an increase
in the funds to be provided for the
coming fiscal year.
The midget committee reduced the
original militia bureau estimate of
$43, 900 to $4,000. 900. and the
house reduced 1t still further to
$23,330,000 Gen. Richards pointed
out in his testimony and sought to
show that such sum is absolutely
inadequate, completely tying the
hands of the war department and
making it impossible to train the
national guard and develop ii as q
component part of the national de-
tense, as provided in the law.
Gen. Richards asks for only S5,-
405, 900 more, this being a minimum
request and calculated on the basis
merely of retention Of the national
guard for the year 1928, without any
thought of carrying out all provi-
sions of the defense act with respect
to this branch of the service.
"The militia bureau will do all in
its power" said Gen. Richards, with
whatever appropriations are made,
but desires to point out that the fed
eral duties under the law cannot be
fully complied with under the house
appropriation bill
1.-The growth of the guard can be
arrested, If such be the desire OF con-
gress, but the result, we believe, will
be to destroy it's morale. The mill
tia bureau is concerned only in plac-
ing before congress the minimum re-
quirements, so far as they can he
foreseen, for the retention of the ma
tional guard during the fiscal year
1928"

MINER MGT TO
BLAME FOR TROUBLE
PROBLEMS OF INDUSTRY Ma
TIONAL In SCOPE AND Or
GANIC IN NATURE.

Springfield, ILL.,, April 1S.-''The
miner is not responsible for the ills
of the coal industry, and it is poor
industrial leadership that can con-
ceive industrial Improvement only
through debased manhood and a
pauper level of existence" said John
Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers of America, in an address
delivered before the Springfield Mid
day Luncheoa club.
"The present strike in the anthra-
cite and bituminous coal industry"
of the organized effort of the coal
operators to beat the miners back
ward to the level of subsistence OBJ
tanning in the nonunion fields. The
miners do not retreat.
"The problems of the coal indus
try are national in scope and organic
in natur e.
When the present strike is end
ed the issues must be settled in a
national way Eihtre the base must
be fixed by the central competitive
field in the manner heretofore GUS
tomary, or national joint confer
ence must be assembled with Joint
representation of each producing
field in the bituminous coal indus
try.
1.-THE competitive relationship of
each producing district would then
be considered and the interest of
each group fully protected. A wage
agreement thus negotiated should
apply in all districts. whether union
or nonunion, and would be sub
stantial contribution to the stabili-
zation of the industry"

MATTER OF DRY
ENFORCEMENT
PARTY LEADERS SEE INDICA-
TToNs OF A PROTEST In RE-
CENT ELECTIONS.

Washington, d. c., April 1S.---
Party leaders and members Of con-
gress interpret the results of recent
congressional primaries and local
elections as reflecting dissatisfaction
with the prohibition policy ofA the
government.
In these districts the vote was
about equally divided between Urban
and rural communities. In attempt
ing to explain the indicated protest
against the dry law after two years
of experiment, prohibition leaders
point to the fact that the results in
New York and Illinois were dictated
by the dominance of city voters over
those of an agricultural character.
Party leaders who are still study.
ing the returns are not convinced
however, that the time has come for
test to determine the exact extent
of the dissatisfaction or for any
change in policy on the part of either
party. They concede the probability
of the injection of the wet" anc
dry issue into many of the con
tests for the senate and house. These
will be treated as independent ven
lures and left to individual candi
dates to- fight out.
Close observers of political condi
tions share the opinion that thu
"wets' will gain large number o
seats, the guesses ranging from 81
ito 100. But they question the pre-
dictions of the opponents of prohi
bition that the "wets" will contro
| the lower house.

.DYR|vE PLANS
FOR EXPANSION
HEAD OF AGRICULTURAL DE-
PARTMENT OUTLINES SUG-
GUSTED INNOVATIONS.

Pierre, April 1S.-Active cooper
alton with the farming interests of
the state in all things beneficial to
the farmer and stockman will be
the policy of the reorganized state
department of agriculture according
to the first official announcement of
plans made by Commissioner Frank
M. Byrne. The department will
strive to make itself valuable as
set, available to every farmer and
farmer organization in the state, Mr..
Byrne asserted, and will devote it's
entire energies toward the develop
ment of cooperative farmer enter
prises, crop and market reports,
beneficial legislation and advanced
farming methods. Service to the
farming profession will be it's prime
objective.
The cost of production work with
which the department is charged by
legislative enactment to perform, and
which was started under the old de-
parment administration will be con-
tinued under the supervision of M.
r.. Benedict. special agent, who will
maintain his headquarters at Brook
ings.
Development of farmers cooper
ative enterprises. such as co-opera-
tive creameries, shipping association
and elevators, will also be continued.
Special agents Will be available TO
lend expert assistance in the oTgani-
zation of these enterprises and TO
tutions and bylaws they may draw
up.
For the time being, the commits
sioner said, little will be done in
the way of distributing market re-
ports beyond the continuation of
the weekly hog and cattle letter,
published Wednesday at Sioux Falls
by f. o. Simonson, special agent for
the department whose Headquarters
are at the Sioux Falls Stock Yards
Exchange Eventually it is Mr..
Byrne's plan to make this service
more complete. by including grain
quotations as well as livestock quo
tations and to make the publication
daily instead of weekly.
The department has already, In
cooperation with the state extension
service and the federal department
of agriculture. commenced issuance
of monthly bulletin. six page
mimeograph news letter which will
be distributed to all who ask for it
ON the fifteenth of each month.
Negotiations are under way be-
tween the department and the fed
eral bureau of crop estimates to pub
lish jointly periodic crop review
during the growing season. H. o.
Herbradson, federal crop statistician
for South Dakota. is already issuing
such report, but Mr.. Byrne hopes
to be, able to make it more complete
and TO increase its distribution to
| the more general benefit of the far
mers of the state.
The South Dakota department has
| made reciprocal arrangements with
the agricultural departments of Min
nesota, North Dakota, Montana,
| Wisconsin and Michigan, to extend
service in marketing matters and In
rendering assistance whenever pos
sible.
The state will also, through its
department OF agriculture. co-operat.
ing with other states, seek to secure
more liberal appropriations from the
federal government for rust preven'
ton and barberry eradication work

total outlay for that purpose being
$33, ,000,0 900, that being the sum as

signed to West Virginia, and she has
been made to pay that by decree OF

Getting down to the present, how.

of this year the State Of Virginia
owed just $21 ,65S ,607.45, and on this
she is paying interest. Since the
