THE INDEPENDENT
AMERICAN FARMER 4
(By The Federated Pressn

Dallas. Texas. In Texas to-day
53.3 percent of the farms are operated
by tenants and 23.7 percent of this
number are worked by Negroes, accord
ing to an analysis of the 1920 federal
census made by the Texas industrial
congress. In IA counties the Negro
tenants aggregate more than 40 per-
cent of the tenant farmers.
A comparison with census figures of
1910 shows that there were 2l9,575
farms operated by tenants then, while
in 1920, 232.30o were reported, an In
crease Of l2,734 in the 10 years inter-
vening. In 1910. 'l98.lo5 farms were
operated BY owners and managers, the
latter being very small percent. In
1920 the figures for this group were
203,724. or an increase of 5529.
No figures were given by the CEN
sus as to the number of farms under
mortgage. This would be of interest
as the average mortgaged farmer is
little better off than a tenant.

preme Justice Morschauser late to-
day signed an order giving the dis
trict attorney five days to supply
Walter S. Wards lawyers a copy of
the minutes of the grand jun. which
indicted him for the first degree

his power and has spent large sums
of money endeavoring to prove the
defendants story of self defense but

GIVES ADDRESS AT
PROVIDENCE MEET

Providence, r. l.. June 26-(Spe-
ciaD.-Walter D. Thurber of Angus
ia, executive secretary of the Maine
Public Health Association, in an
address here today at the National
Conference of Social Workers, on
The Coordination of State Volun-
teer Health Agencies" declared that
there are arguments both for and
against coordination Of statewide
volunteer health work.
Many are predicting that this CO.
ordination would immeas ura bly,
broaden the scope of the work, elm
mate much overhead expense, and
do away with duplication of effort"
continued Mr.. Thurber.
Others believe that intensive in
terest in the general subject of pub
lie health, could not be as effective
ly maintained as is being maintained
In the fight against specific diseases
such as tuberculosis, cancer, etc.

lied health work-tuberculosi for
lnstance-is often promoted by per-
sonal experience, either a death in
the family, a recovery, or for some
other personal reason.
THE experience of the Maine
Public Health Association does not
prove or disprove one argument or
the other.
The health plan for Maine has
been the soldering iron or the forg :
for welding together the interests
of the various groups, not only to
the benefit of Maine, but to the bene-
fit of their own groups as we'll The
industries saw the good business of
good health in its relation to pro-
duction and industry. The oranges
saw the benefits to be derived by
farmers from local lecturers. moving
pictures, public health nursing,
fresh air schools, literature on health
problems in rural districts, etc.
THE women's clubs, the W. c. T.
L. and similar organizations, COM
posed largely of women, were quick
to grasp the importance of gu
health promotion program. The la
Dor unions saw the value to their
men of such educational activities
as eye conservation, including pre-
vention of eye accidents in industry,
public health nursing. child hygiene,
etc. The American Legion welcomed
our program for the welfare of the
service men. And so, tied up orig
inally through the personal interest,
these organizations came to appre-
ciate the importance of a unified pro-
gram calculated to promote the
health of every man, woman and
child in the state.
There is no time to go into the
details of the health plan today
merely let us say that it is not a
panacea for all ills. nor is it so COM
prehensive in its arrangement that
it will be applicable anywhere. 1t

Bolshevik Russia wants cridits be-
fore anything else. This pronounce
ment was made tonight by Maxim
Lltvlnoff. head of the Russian dele
cation which arrived here today, in
his first statement to the press, and
1t has created CONSERVATION among
the representatives of the European
countries here, because they had
virtually agreed to discuss credits

cord had been reached on the uues-
tons of private property and Rus
sian debts.
Some of the delegates believe that
persistence of the Bolsheviki in this
attitude may imporil the conference,
they point out that there can be no
! serious conversations about loaning
money or opening credits until some
satisfaction is first obtain d concern

P0|NCARE STORM
CENTER OF ROW IN
FRENCH CHAMBER

Paris, June 26.-(By A. P.)-Accus-
ing the Communist deputies in the
French chamber Of melting a riot to
ASA ssinate Premier Poincare and de-
manding that q law be passed immedi-
ately authorizing the minister of jus
tice to place the most violent members
of the Communist party under arrest,
Leon Daudet, Royalist member of par
lament. caused an uproar in the cham
Der this afternoon. The debate devel-
oped into invectives to the premier
from the Communist benches, in which
the cry "Poincare means war; Poin-
care la guerre." were flung at NJ. Poin-
care by Deputy Ernest Laffont.
Springing from his seat and point
ing warning finger at Laffont, Pre-
mier Poincare shouted Indignantly:
DO you take the responsibility for
that remark"
Laffont retorted something about
explaining the charge before public
opinion
of the Communist deputies to vote an
appropriation of $4,000 francs for
Frances representation at the wedding
of King Alexander of Jugo-Slavia on
June s.
Georges Levy, a Communist, said
his party refused to vote for the appro-
priation because of the white terror"
to which he said the Communists were
, subjected in Jugo-Slavia.
Premier Poincare explained that the
constitutional king was a friend of
France and was not responsible for the
acts of his government.
Andre Boredom. another Communist,
interrupted by saying:
LAS you were not responsible while
you were president of the republic you
wash your hands of all that happened"
Pale and laboring under intense emo
ton. Premier Ioincare replied:
You Communists will never be able
to wipe the stains off yours"
At this point NJ. Daudet, waving
pamphlet printed in Germany in which
he claimed the assassination of Poin-
care was openly demanded and quoting
articles in the newspapers Humanite
and L'Oeuvre, interviewed with the
usual effect upon Communists when
Royalist speaks in the chamber. Pan
demonius broke loose but the premier
could be heard above the din saying:
You Communists will soon see how
take my responsibilities if you over
step your limits"
The Jugo-S!avian appropriation was
then voted ST. to GO. The police pro-
lection of Premier Poincare's private
house has been doubled.

Would Admit Only
Aliens Eligible
to Citizenship

Washington, June 26.-Under bill
designed to tighten up the immigra-
ton law, introduced today by Chair
man Johnson of the House Immigra-
ton committee, admission Cor per-
manent residence n this country
would be granted only 10 aliens eli
gible for citizenship, taus, it was
pointed out, shutting The gates to
Japanese, Chinese, Moigolians and
others not granted the right of citi-
Zenship who desire suCr residence.
The Johnson bill also would re-
duce on July /, 1928 lie quota per-
centage from each country from three
to two per cent based Oh 1910 census
figures. In addition 70 the two per
cent quota each country, however.
would be given a fiat allowance or
600. the maximum to'al from this
500 flow being estimated ut $4,000,
The percentage reduction, accord
ing to Mr.. Johnson's Sttmates
would cut the total quota admissions
from around 255,000 20 $4,000. Ex-
empltions are not included in these
estimates.
Not more than ten per cent OF any
country's quota would be admitted
into the Ulited States in one month,
which would extend the movement
over a period of 10 months instead
of five as ct present.
No attempt will be made to have
the House vote on the Johnson pro-
posal at this session. 1t was offered
at this time, the chairman said, as
the basis of a permanent restrictive
immigration law and members of the
committee said it would undergo
many changes.

House Members
Present Rival Sides
of Herrin Massacre

Washington, June 26.-Two sides
to the Herrin. Ills. mine killings were
presented today in the House during
debate in which Representative
Goodykoontz of West Virginia and
Representative Denison of Illinois,
both Republicans, participated.
Mr.. Goodykoontz called upon Of
ficers of the United Mine Workers of
America to assist in prosecution OF
those responsible for the disorders,
even though found among the union
membership. Otherwise, he said, the
United Mine Workers organization,
will never be able to rise from the
low level to which it's members have
caused it to fall" He added that the
people ARE crying out against the
men in the union should take note of
the injury crime is doing their cause
Mr.. DeniSon, in whose district the
disorders occurred, replying to the
West Virginia member set forth in
detail the conditions which led to the
killings declaring that the most I'M
fortunate affair" was due to the en-
ployment of non union men, armed
with rifles and machine guns" to
mine coal in violation of an agree
ment entered into with the union
miners.
While not excusing a resort to
force by the union miners, Represcn;
tative Denison it was well known
that whenever non union miners were
taken into Soutr rn Illinois to mine
coal there had been A tragedy.
Representative Goodykoontz assert
ed that the coroner's jury verdict
indicated that they, (the union
miners) have even control of the
processes of the law there" He re-
cited conditions in Logan county
West Virginia, and declared that
property there would have been de-
stroyed and the law ignored as he
insisted it had been in Illinois had
MT the authorities of the county and
state taken prompt action.

BRITISH GOVT. GETS
Vote OF CONFIDENCE
ON IRISH POLICY

London, June e6.-(By A. P.)-After
debate which was not so heated or
acrimonious as expected, the govern
ment tonight won virtual vote of con-
fidence on its Irish policy when Idle
hard motion proposed by Sir F'reder-
lex Banbury, Unionist, for reduction
Of the chief secretary Of Irelands SAL
airy as an expression Of disapproval Of
the governments policy and failure to
afford police protection for Field Mar
shall Wilson, was defeated. The vote
was 342 to 70.
Winston Spencer Churchill, secretary
for the colonies. in his statement on
Irish affairs made it clear that the i'm
perial government would expect the
provisional government, now that it
had secured the peoples mandate, to
take the necessary steps to assert its
complete authority and with equal
frankness emphasized that the British
government would not allow the coer-
cion of Ulster by the south-in fact.
