eloquent in debate. painstaking and
methodical legislator. He is one OF
the best informed men in Congress and
Is always ready to make a speech on
any subject. He Is especially distin-
guished among his associates as the
only man in public life who can split
the word "it" into two syllables. His
experience as a legislator will have
compassed twenty-four years on the
completion Of his present term He is
very popular with the people of North
Dakota and particularly among the
agriculturalists of one of the most i'm
portant wheat States In the American
Union.
The Non-Partisan League marked
him for defeat several years ago, but
finally rallied to his support and gave
him a handsome majority when he
was elected for the present term. He
will be a candidate for reelection next
November. It is quite probable that
he will not have any difficulty in hold
ing the support of the elements In
North Dakota which will be chiefly
benefited by the achievements of tho
agricultural bloc in the Senate.
Wherefore there Is no legitimate
criticism as to the personal fitness Of
Senator McCumber involved in his Sc
lection as chairman Of the Senate FL
nance Committee. There Is, however.
and probably will continue to exist,
grave question in the minds of the
officials Of the Government and citizens
who are not fortunate enough to own
wheat and cotton lands as to the ad-
visibility Of selecting so pronounced
an agricultural partisan for the great
place which the rule Of seniority de-
mands shall be given him.
Attention Centers on Fallacy.
Discussion Of the matter between
Government officials and members Of
the two houses since the death Of Sem
ator Penrose has directed attention
again to the fallacy Of following the
rule of seniority In filing vacancies on
important committees.
The aggressive activities Of the lead
ers and adherents of the agricultural
bloc which has set its grip on the in
dustrial and commercial throat of the
country have accentuated skepticism
regarding the desirability Of clinging
to threadbare process for perpetual
ing individual or group control Of Fed
eral legislation. It Is through such
processes only that the minority can
hold up, reshape and obstruct meas
ures until these have been perfected to
accomplish the ambitions of such mi
nority groups.
In the present instance it is within
the power of a bipartisan group COM
posed of twenty-five Senators to hold
up the Government just as the Platt-
Tammany combination held up New
York In the old days. The bipartisan
group in the Senate Is nicely balanced
between the two parties, there being
eleven Republicans and eleven Demo-
Gratis holding cards as charter MEM
bers.
The Republicans are: Kenyon Ua-),
McNary (Ore.), Norris (Neb.). Cam
eron (Ariz.), Cummins (Ia.). Gooding
Idaho). Harreld (Okla.). Ladd IN. d.
Lenroot (Wis.), McCumber On. d.
and La Toilette (Wis.).

volung fund for the Federal Farm

volvng fund for the Federal Farm
Loan banks.
Four important measures and spe-
cial amendment to the tax revision bill
constitute the remaining program OF
the agricultural bloc in Congress. The
issues still pending in which they are
interested are:
"a Enactment OF a cooperative
marketing bill.
(2) An increase in the limit OF
loans of Federal Farm Loan banks
from $4,000 TO $4,000.
(3) Enactment of some rural
credit scheme so the farmer can
obtain short time loans on good
security.
(4) A demand for the reduction
Of freight rates.
Among other things the bloc was
largely responsible for was the failure
of Congress to reduce the surtaxes or
the income tax law as recommended by
President Harding. They denounced
the suggestion as IAN effort to shift
the tax burden from the rich to the
shoulders of the poor"
The bloc, ii is understood, Is
strongly in favor OF a constitutional
amendment which President Harding
suggested in recent message to Con-
gress under which securities now ex-
empt from taxation may be taxed by
the Federal Government
The bloc. organized and operating as
d.d the old Platt-Tamms ny organiza-
ton an New York, does not admit the
possibility Of failure. The Platt-Tam-
many combination, which also served
special interests" was quite as con-
fidenF-until the people OF the State
drove II out of business.

AGRICULTURAL BLOC PLANS
TO CONTROL u. S. SENA TIE

The Democratic members of the bloc
are: Smith Is. CO.. Ashurst (Ariz).
Caraway (Ark.), Dial Is. c., Harris
(Ga.). Hefiin (Ala-). Kendrick (Wyo.).
Overman IN. c.. Ransdell (La.),
Fletcher (Fla.) and Jones On. NJ.
McNary-Frelinghuy Contest.
The Democratic members of the bloc
are quite as eager to have one of their
Republican allies elevated to the COM
manding post as chairman of the Fin
ance Committee as are their Republic
can conferees because there Is no poll
tics in agriculture. The minority
members are almost as much inter-
ested in a contest between Senator
McNary, a member Of the bloc, and
Senator Frelinghuysen. who is not. for
the vacancy on the Finance Commit
tee made by the elevation Of Senator
McCumber. Both the Oregon and New
Jersey Senators are eligible for the
place. In ordinary circumstances an
Independent Senator who Is not a
member of any group promoting any
special interests would be favored.
The agricultural bloc. however, is
exerting it's full power to bring about
the selection of Senator McNary,
which would not only enhance the
power Of the combination, but render
the general legislative situation more
difficult to handle.
OF the sixteen members Of the
Finance Committee seven are from
Eastern and Southern States and nine
from those west Of the Ohio River.
The next ranking member to Senator
McCumber is Senator Smoot (Utah).
and just below him on the list is Sena-
tor La Toilette (Wis.).
Because of his wide experience and
breadth of vision Senator Smoot, who
also represents an agricultural State
but Is not a member Of the bloc, is
favored generally by the business in
terests throughout the country for
chairman. He Is not making an effort
to obtain the position nor would he do
so unless Senator McCumber with
drew. Senator McCumber has not
done anything to advance his own
claims. leaving the matter to the COM
mittee on committees. There Is no
tenQenCy on tne part OI tue oeHdte U
question the wisdom Of asserting to
the dictates Of the agricultural bloc to
dispute his right to the place under
the seniority rule.
Bloc Girding ON It's Armor.
The bloc is girding on its wheat and
cotton armor to force President Har-
ding to cut of the heads OF the Federal
Reserve Board, as also Of the Farm
Loan Board. and appoint dirt farm
ers" in their places. The bloc takes
the stand that one Of the efficient
members Of each of these important
Administration bureaus should be
kicked off to make room for "close
to the soil" agriculturist.
The President himself has conceded
the power of the bloc, which had its
inception In cloakroom gossip last
summer. to embarrass greatly his Ad-
ministration and the country gen.
orally. The bloc Is now regularly or
ganized. with Senator Kenyon Uowa)

WOMEN VOTERS ASK
PARTY PRIVILEGES
500 in Convention Insist on
Equality With Men in
Political Bodies.

Women are getting tired Of being kept
out OF the political parties. They said
SO yesterday at the convention of the
New York City League Of Women
Voters, attended by 800 members. at the
Pennsylvania Hotel And after their OBJ
jections had been voiced by a repre-
sentative of each OF the two major
parties the league passed a resolution
recommending that the laws Of this
State be so amended as to provide for
equal representation OF men and women
on all party State, county and Assem-
bly, district committees.
Mrs. James Russell Parsons, chairman
Of the Republican Neighborhood Associ-
alton. spoke for her party sisters. who
upheld her in every statement Mrs.
John Blair represented the Democratic
women. but was not SO insistent on equal
recognition as Mrs. Parsons. Mrs. Blair
objected to anything that appeared at all
mandatory.
II, like Miss Mary Garrett Hay. our
chairman. have nothing against the
men," Mrs. Parsons began. but during
the last campaign learned that the men
had not the slightest intention Of giving
us equal representation on the commit
tees. They asked US to raise money.
really commanded us to do It I also
learned that men still wish to perpetu-
ate mans party.
I'VE have heard lot about that bug
aboo a woman's party, but for my part
! don't believe that any great number
Of women really want q woman's party.
Women like to play together. The men
kept us out of oflces. out Of the pro-
fessions and out of politics. We have
gently insinuated ourselves into the Of
fces and the professions and we are try
ing to get into politics, but there are
certain men of the party who throw up
a smoke screen to scare us away. The
should stand solid together on this
equality ISSUE"
Mrs. Blair asked for equal representa-
ton and was supported in this by Miss
Hay.
II would advise you New York women
not to accept Mrs. Blair's suggestion
that It shouldn't be mandatory to have
one man and one woman on the political
committees" said New Jersey leader.
We've tried 1t and we know" So they
retained the provision In their resolu-
tion..
Resolutions also were adopted for
the selection Of women on all jury
panels on a basis equal with that of
men; to oppose the Equal Rights" bill
advocated by the National Woman's
Party for disarmament, for the direct
primary and for independent citizenship
for married women.
Miss Maud Wood Park. president Of
the National League Of Women Voters
Mrs. Robert McCurdy Marsh, Mrs.
Frank A. vanderlip. Mrs. Raymond
Brown, Mrs. J. r. Fairchild and Mrs. II.
Edward Dreier spoke In the afternoon.
The evening program included speeches
by Mrs. r. Louis Slade. Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait, Mrs. Walter Timme and
others.

which bills may or may not be consid-
cred.
The steering committees have,
therefore, been practically put out Of
business. because all of the decisions
are contingent on the approval of the
bipartisan agricultural combination,
which places the special interests Of
the wheat and cotton tanner above
any other consideration.
Right of way Demanded.
Leaders OF the bloc have success
fully demanded that legislation favor
able to the farming interests must
have the right of way. Now they are
outlining an additional program which
they will insist must be provided be-
fore Congress adJourns, the alterna-
tive being the holding up of all legis-
lation designed to benefit the country
generally.
Republican and Democratic leaders
both admit that more legislation In
the interest of farmers, to the exclu-
sion Of other elements In the national
present session than ever before in
the history Of the country. The pur-
poses Of the bloc are frankly admitted
by it's leaders.
Members Of the agricultural bloc,'
said Senator Kenyon. "are for the far
mer,. but not as against the entire
country. All we ask is a square deal
for the farmer in the future. He has
not had 1t in the past. The farmer is
not getting what he should for the
things he produces and the consumer
at the other end is paying too much.
That condition should be remedied as
speedily as possible"
The achievements Of the agricul-
tural bloc since it's organization six
months ago have been pronounced and
specially valuable to the farming in
terests Of the country.
Principal Measures Enacted.
Some of the measures put through
under the agricultural goad are:
The billion dollar farm export
credit act.
Inc Capper-I1ncher Dill Tor the
regulation of the thirteen great
grain exchanges Of the country,
preventing gambling In futures,
through a board composed of the
Secretary Of Agriculture, the Sec
retary Of Commerce and the At
torney-General.
The act placing control Of the
meat packing industry and stock
yards under the supervision of the
Secretary of Agriculture.
The emergency tariff act SUBJ
stantially increasing rates of duty
on imported agricultural products
and preventing ruinous competi-
ton from abroad.
The Kenyon bill increasing the
interest rate on bonds of the farm
loan banks with no increase in the
loan rate to farmers, the increased
interest rate making it possible to
sell these bonds In competition
with other securities.

preparation of $25.000,000 as a re-
