There wasn't a hitch in the council
program.
Congressman Hays B. White of the
Sixth district was elected chairman.
No other name was considered.
The Sixth district congressman
waived the established custom of key
noting a bit. Much to the surprise of
every one, he merely thanked the
members for their support and got
right down to the business at hand.
Later, tho. he gave notice that he
would try out twenty minutes of ora
tory on the crowd which returned for
the afternoon session. He spoke this
afternoon while the platform commit
tee was in session in the secretary of
states office.
Charles S. HoIbrook of Kansas City
was named secretary of the council.
He also won without a fight.

a resolution advocating repeal of the
Industrial court law. Most of the Re-

court act and it is likely that the
court law will be endorsed in priRci-
pie. Sproul has a big labor vote in
his district which is opposed to the in

building was in doubt-otherwise the

Jimmie isn't you, for one thing. The

The high tariff advocates declare
that the war saved American iD&Gs-
tries. They bala this assertion on the
theory that the Underwood tariff law
the one now in existence-would
have ruined American industries IL it
had mot been for the timely arrival of
the European disturbance. But the
war has been over nearly four years
and American industries are more
prosperous than ever before. What is
saving these industries now? The
Consumption of cotton in the United
States for the year ended July 81,
1929, was million bales greater than
for the previous year. The steel mills
had been st Oily Increasing their
output for six months, until checked

RATES ON CATTLE

Editor The State Journal.
1t seems to me it is about time we
got an adjustment on freight rates on
cattle. Parts of Kansas have lots of
roughness and some parts are dry and
it would make more business for the
roads. How are the men who try TO
feed the hungry as Christ commend
ed, going to do it if the cattle have
to be shipped to Kansas City and then
back, one hundred and sixty miles or
so. as my experience proves?
