PLAN 3 COOPERATIVE
MARKETING CLUBS FOR
RANCHERS Of VALLEY
Farm Bureau Completes Plans for County
wide Roundup of Ranchers to Assure Sue
cess for Hay, Grain and Dairy Associa-
tions-Driue to Be Launched Wednesday

Final plans for the county wide
drive among farmers for the forma-
tion of commodity marketing associ-
ations will be perfected in a series of
meetings to be conducted by the
Maricopa County Farm Bureau today
and Tuesday. The drive will be
launched Wednesday morning when
flying squadrons will take the field
in a farm to farm visitation.
Farm bureau members consider
this drive the most important work
they have ever undertaken. 1t en-
bodies the enlistment of every ranch
er in the valley in a plan that is
designed TO provide for the orderly
and efficient marketing of farm pro-
duce TO the end that the farmer him
self will benefit.
Only a few minor details are to be
worked out before the bureau is
ready to enter upon the work. A
whirlwind drive extending over
period of four days. possibly longer,
is planned. a short, snappy cam
paign with a real punch is the idea
of the campaign directors for carry :
ing the cooperative marketing
scheme into every farm home of the
valley.
The committee. headed by S. c..
Miller. hopes to clean up the work in
four intensive days. The campaign
will be continued over into the next
week, however, if it is found impos-
sible to complete the farm to farm
visitation in the four days.
Will Protect Farmer
Every farmer engaged in producing
hay. grain or dairy products will be
invited to join one of the three big
cooperative marketing organizations.
Protection of the producer is the sole
purpose of these associations and the
farm bureau is hopeful that an over
whelning majority of the rancners
will get behind the plans.
Organization plans have been out
lined and modelled after some of the
most successful cooperative market
ing associations in the United States.
months have been spent in working
out the details and the prospectus is
said TO be one Of the finest ever
drafted for a cooperative marketing
organization.
Leaders of the movement hold the
belief that there is no argument to
successfully combat the organization
plans. They are confident that far
mers will line up solidly behind the
associations when they see the true
light of such organization: how the
association operates to protect them
and get them higher prices for their
products.
1T is merely matter of educating
the rancher to tlfe true value of or
.sanization.p Chairman Miller assert
VI yesterday
But. it was pointed out, unless the
farmers unite i'll getting behind these
movements the organizations will
NOT operate successfully; at least.
not as successfully as they would II
they had the undivided support of all
producers.

ELIMINATION Of
POLITICS WILL.
BRING AMERICA
To HAGUE MEET
[Republican A. p. Leased wireI

WASHINGTON, May 21--Partici-
patton of the United States in eco
nomic counsels abroad-wllen the
governments of Europe are ready to
eliminate political questions from
their discussions of world rehabiIi-
tation-was forecast tonight in Of
ficial circles.
The American government accord
iTg TO officials in close touch with
the administration would be willing
TO join with other nations TO work
out plans for restoring the interna-
tional commercial equilibrium il
American Representatives could jour-
ney abroad convinced that political
subjects would be barred from any
conference they attended
Some officials express the belief
that il the governments of Europe
would invite this country TO a con-
ference which definitely confined the
scope of its proposed deliberations
TO the solution of economic problems
the invitation would receive a much
more cordial reception than has been
accorded the numerous requests for
American representation at the
series of councils held abroad in the
past three years.
in healing the worlds war wounds
are many. government economists
maintain that the basic questions to
be answered are few. Balancing of
burgets by European governments
accompanied by deflation of cur
rencies is of vital Importance, ac-
cording to government experts, who
advocate the accomplishment of this
end by dacrpa sod eSuep ditVraS rather
than through more taxation. Arma-
ment reduction is urged as an eco
nomic measure and to restore con-
fidence in the permanency of peace
and the unlikelihood of interruption
to renewed commercial enterprise.
Fixation of the war debts of the
nations and the terms of German
reperations upon a basis SO defined
as to instill confidence that pay
ments of interest and principal will
be made as they fall due, is the
master key TO the situation, in the
opinion OF experts who also contend
the establishment of the gold stan
dard is imperative.
Either credits or gold loans may
be necessary TO establish the gold
standard officials maintained and
therein lies the part the American
can play in the restoration
Of Europe. High officials have de-
clare that the steps this country
may take TO aid international re-
covery must be in "the shoes OF its
bankers" and before the financial
feet can move there must be assur-
ance OF a revival of productivity
abroad to justify investment of
American money in Europe.

HOOVER ISSUES CALL
FOR CONFERENCE OF
BIG COAL OPERATORS

WASHINGTON May 21.-Admin-
istration plans for holding down soft
coal prices were carried a step fur
ther today when Secretary Hoover
issued a general call for a conference
of the 1900 operators whose mines
are still producing. The conference
is to be held in Washington, May 81
The operators will be asked to ap-
prove and put into effect the scheme
Of creating district committees to re-
ceive and allocate all orders during
the duration of the strike and with
co operation from a Washington com
mittee to prevent coal going into the
hands OF spectators and middlemen
who may unduly increase prices.
Fifty operators controlling the bulk
of present non-union and open shop
production last week pledged them
selves TO support the plan, using the
Garfield prices OF the war time fuel
administration as general basis
from which to set up fair price
standards.
This would establish mine prices OF
bituminous coal in a range Of from
81 to SO per ton. In the meantime,
the administration expects the coal
operators not to sell coal at prices in
excess of the Garfield prices with
such adjustments as are necessary"

conference call said. Furthermore.

COOLIDGE SAYS
EDUCATION AND
RELIGION WILL
REBUILD WORLD
IRepubIican A. p. Leased wirel

DES MONIES, Iowa, May II. -
America can best lead the world in
ternationally by strengthening itself
nationally, and internal strength
must be built fundamentally with the
two ingredients with which the colo
nists built the republic--religion and
education, Vice President Calvin
Coolidge told 500 Presbyterian COM
missioners of the hath general as
senlbly and several thousand people
who crowded the Coliseum to hear
his two hour address here this eve-
ming.
"Our national seclusion, our pre-
dominance over all surrounding ma
tions," he said, "our ancient tradi-
tional policy of refraining from all
interference in the political affairs of
others have all contributed to our
disregard of any but our local inter-
ests. The results Of the last five
years have projected us out into the
world where, whether we will or not,
we find that we have international
duties to perform both for the promo.
ton of our own welfare, the protec-
tion of our own rights, and to dis
charge our obligations TO humanity.
Civilization makes it harder to live
rather than easier and discounts
those Utopians who promise an ex-
istence of pleasure in their theories
In outlining the relations of educa-
tion to progress, the president
said:
Education is for the purpose of
teaching men to know their true con-
dition, to understand what freedom is
and at what price it is bought and to
comprehend the meaning of civiliza-
ton"
Emphasizing the need of religion as
an aid to human frailty and human
limitations he voiced the need for
faith in spite Of temporary nlisad-
venture.
"The fact that there is evil abroad,
that there are those who are bent on
wickedness and that their efforts Of
tentimes prevail. that there. are no
limitations, is no reason for losing
faith in the right he declared. "The
fact that obligations may be disre-
garded, that pledges may be broken,
is no reason for losing faith in honor
and integrity.
There are those who argue that
if government has sometimes been an
instrument OF oppression, that all
government should be abolished; that
if property has sometimes made its
possessors selfish and cruel there
fore property should be abolished"
Mr.. Coolidge stressed the impossi-
bility OF legislating away all the in
adequacies of the present system.
Capital" he declared. is an indis-
pensible factor in production, which
cannot be provided by governments,
but only by personal prudence, and
frugality and foresight"
Tomorrow afternoon the big issue
for the present assembly the adop-
tion or rejection of the stone report
for consolidation of the 16 boards of
the Presbyterian church into four and
the creation OF an executive council,
will be reached.

RAILWAY EXECUTIVES
ADOPT HARDING PLAN
FOR RATE REDUCTION
[RepubIlcan A. p. Leased wirel

=
WASHINGTON, Mas a1.-- Adop-
tion of an administration policy call
ing for reduction in railroad freight
rates was the Interpretation given in
many quarters today to President
Harding's request to the leading rail-
road executives to lower transporta-
ton charges by voluntary action and
without waiting for action by the in
terstate commerce commission.
Cooperation of railroad organiza
tions to secure the desired result was
promised President Harding and Sec
retary Hoover by the railroad execu-
tives who met with them last night
at White House dinner conference.
The executives voted to name a COM
mittee to recommend what action
could be taken in line with Mr.. Hard
ing's suggestion
Railroads We're directly asked. a,
White House statement said. to bring
about lower freight charges on a
plan first publicly outlined in study
which Secretary Hoover presented to
the interstate commerce commission
during its hearings in the general rate
investigation last year. This involves
cutting freight on coal, steel, farm
products, minerals and other heavy
| low priced basic raw materials. 1t
also involves a policy OF letting
| freights on high grade high priced
| finished materials remain at approx
| imately their present levels, and
1 probably leaving passenger fares un-
touched. too.
Rates reached their present post
war attitudes by climbing in percent
age stages, flat increases all down
the line being the rule, but Mr..
Hoover argued-and his appearance
was made for the chamber of COM
merce of the United States as. well
as for the government-that rates
should be reduced in a different FASH
ion. Industrial betterment. he de-
clared, could be best attained by cut
ting those rates which constituted a
large fraction of the price of articles
moved to consuming points, while
leaving stationary such rates as do
not constitute a great proportion Of
cost price to consumers.
President Harding adopted this
view of the matter Saturday in his
discussion with the railroad chiefs.
Previously it had many advocates in
rail circles, though it would demand
a complete alteration of rate policies
as built up by the roads in the past,
and sustained by the commerce COM
mission The railroad men now
favoring it consider that its adoption
would allow them to meet widespread
public demand for reductions and at
the same time to protect the earning
power of the properties by the in
come on the high grade materials
and passenger fares.
One subject frequently mentioned
in advance of the White House din
ner-that of railroad wage levels now
under re- examination before the rail-
road labor apparently did not
come up for discussion. No mention
of it was made in the statement,
though questions of new equipment
purchases and Other. problems of rail-
road management were referred to
specifically.
