which would be recommended, but we
can all testify that instead of grow:
ing better things are much worse and
bid fair to continue SO until there is
some constructive policy inaugurated
in Washington.
The Harding administration and
Republican party went in with all the
pomp and ceremony and more prom
Uses than any administration that has
ever been known in the country.
In an editorial headed Broken
Promises, which is published in the
Neosho Times, ter promises of the
Republican party which have moi

THE POOREST RECORD YET

While the farmers of the United
States are losing money most every
time they make a sale of their pro.
ducts there are people in the world
who are suffering because of high
food prices and according to Frank
A. Vanderlip, noted banker and eco
nomist, there is likely to be an up
rising in Germany this winter be-
cause of the high prices of food.
Why it is that people in one sec.
ton of the world are in want of food
when those in another are growing
poorer each day for the lack of 9
price for the things which they pro
duce is enough to cause men to stoI
and ponder.
How can it be that the people Of
Germany can't secure food because
of the prohibitive prices and the PEG
pie of the United States can hardly
live because of the low prices fol-
which their products sell and the higl
values placed on the things they
purchase?
A system or government tina
will permit such is all wrong ant
cannot endure for long and in al
probability will be rebuked by thu
voters Of the country on Tuesday
November T. next, when the record O
President Harding goes to the sol
emn referendum of those who hav'
been misgoverned by kindly oil
man who was selected for that reason
by the few who want to control TIN
country.

would come out all right when War

THE PRESIDENT TAKES
A CHANGE OF FRONT

According to Washington CORE
spondents our President is getting
mighty sick of his job. He is not the
same courteous, care-free man he was
when he entered the White House.
He is growing peevish in conversa-
ton, he "bawls out" reporters, sort
of press censorship is limited at, he
has thrown tighter lines around his
companionships and he rests more
and more on the advices of one Las
ker who, it will be remembered, is the
gentleman directing Uncle Sans
Shipping Board bootlegging opera
tions on the high seas. In fact, some
Westinghouse have grown SO sar-
castle as to recall certain incidents
in the reign of the late Gar Nicholas
of Russia and refer to Lasker as the
Rasputin of the Harding administra-
ton.
In a way all this is pitiful. 1t is
not unusual to see Washington tire of
President. That city halls each new
executive as the greatest man of the
age and damns him as a "dud" six
months after he has taken office.
But it is distressing to see Harding,
himself, show such startling
change.
Ever since the last Chicago Con-
vention we have maintained thai
Harding is a pleasant gentleman OF
no especial ability who was elevated
to high position through the workings
of a Republican machine. We have
never doubted Harding's desire to dc
right but we had never thought he
had the capacity or the ability to
meet the problems which confront
the chief executive of the nation
Time has shown that we were right.

Report that the Committee on Tax
alton proposed limiting st. Louis to
a rate of 60 cents on the hundred dol
lars valuation for city purposes and
80 cents for county purposes brought
hurry-up visit from Mayor kiel and
Deputy Comptroller Felix E. Gum
of st. Louis, who declared that the
city would be unable to exist under
such limitation. They stated that at
present they were collecting $1.27
for city and county and would need
more another year as their police
force would have to be increased ma
terially. Including the school tax it
was stated that the city had tax
rate of only $500 ON the hundred val
uation, which was lower than any
ether large city in the country. Un-
der the limitations of the old consti-
tuition the city of st. Louis is limited
to 81 on the hundred valuation for
city purposes and 35 cents for county
purposes. The officials agreed that
if the committee would fix the limita-
ton at 81 and 80 cents respectively,
with provision for an additional
levy of 25 cents by majority vote
of the people, it would be satisfac-
tory. The committee took the matter

submit to the convention.

called to the fact that only per cent

However, unless the present ru-
mors blow up in smoke, as have
the past ones, Mrs. Harding may
have a chance to slip away to the
coast in the fall. for some persons

dent will get away from Washing
ton in the early autumn on a tour
taking him well into the West, IL
not actually to the Pacific coast,
and as his faithful companion, Mrs.
Harding will no doubt accompany
him.
Nevertheless, all the odds would
seem to be against such a trip.
The Pres dents desk bears invita-.

none has he given much encour-

extended to HIN today a personal
invitation to take part in the New
ada rodeo to be held at Reno. She
was accompanied to the White
House by Senator Oddie of Nevada
and Mrs. Oddie, and gave the
President a "six-gallon hat" to
wear should his engagements per-
nit him to leave Washington on
the suggested Western trip.
Not having gone to the Pacific
coast during his campaign for the
presidency in 1920, there has been
an insistent and persistent demand
for a visit, and Mr.. Harding has

acquainted. Il Is not to be thought

.POINCARE'S POLICY
STRONGLY UNHELD
Riotous Opposition Succeeds in
MarshaIIing Only 100 Voices
in Test of Confidence.

Paris.-The Chamber of Deputies, by
vote of 4S4 to 100, gave Premier
Poincare a free hand to continue to
direct the foreign policy of France
along the lines he has pursued since
he assumed power.
The vote also approved the govern
ment's attitude at the Genoa confer
ence, left the government the sole
judge as to whether France shall be
represented at he Hague conference
and reserved to the government the
right to act alone toward Germany ia
case of fragrant violation of the YER
sailles treaty.
The vote came after one of the most
stormy sessions ever witnessed in the
French chamber, which has been the
scene of many bitter debates.
Evidence of the influence of Poincare
over the chamber was shown when tine
questions as to priority of the numer-
Gus orders of the day came up. nj.
Herriot, leader of the Radical party,
insisted that his order of the day re-
garding international loans should
have priority. To this Poincare OBJ
jected, and the chamber voted 426 10
143 against Herriot, but when the
straight order of the day, involving a
vote of confidence in the government,
was put before the chamber, the oppo-
sition vote was reduced to 100, while
that of the supporters of the govern
ment was increased to 4S4.
NJ Herriot had charged the Premier
with being responsible for the question
of international loans not being put
being put before the Genoa conference.
The Premier replied he had refused to
bring up the question because he was
convinced it was too closely and dam
gerously associated with that of the
German debt.

U. S. SENATE PASSES
$4,000 ARMY BILL
Measure Carrying Appropriation
of S34175O,O0O Put Through
Same Day 1t Was Taken Up.

Washington.-Carrying an appropri-
alton of $341, 100000, the annual Army
appropriation bill was passed by the
senate. 1t fixes the size of the Army
for the next year at an average of
1880 officers and 1890 men.
Passage of the bill, which was with
out a record vote, followed quickly
after test vote by which the senate
accepted, 40 to 81, its committees ac-
tion in increasing the house figure on
the size of the army from 115,000 to
$4,000 enlisted men. The strength of
1880 officers compares with 11,000 as
voted by the house
The senate disposed of the bill
speedily, the measure being taken up
for the first time, and passed within
six hours. All committee amendments
except those affecting the size of the
army were acted upon within three
hours constituting what was regarded
as almost record by the senate.
Next to the question of the size of
the army the proposition causing most
debate was the amendment submitted
by the Agricultural Committee ap-
propriating S7,5O00O0 for continuation
of work on the Muscle Shoals (Ala-
bama) Federal power project, which
the senate accepted without record
vote after parliamentary tangle
which lasted for an hour.
The Muscle Shoals amendment
promised for time to reopen the
whole question of the governments
policy with respect to the power pro-
ject, but Chairman Norris, of the
Agricultural Committee declared that
to delay work flu ETAOIN ETAOI
no policy had been determined and
that to delay work further on Dam No.
2 in the Tennessee River would be an
economic crime"
Although the army strength agreed
upon by the senate was regarded as a
compromise from the figure of 10000
sought by the War Department and
that fixed by the house, Senators ex-
pect a hard fight before an agreement
is reached with the house.
