Of Wilson Blamed
By Senator.

To Stand Firm.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
JERSEY CITY, N. j., July 1S.-Pres-
ident Harding's present difficulties with
the coal and railroad strikers are
troubles Inherited from the Wilson
administration in some respects. Senator
Willis. republican, Ohio. declared in an
address here before the Hudson County
Republican Club.
Not only have the present unfortun-
ate industrial troubles come to President
Harding" said Senator Willis. ''as the
ripened, bitter and certain frutage of
mistaken policies in the past. but on
March 4, 1921. there was handed to him
the most tangled. diSorganiZed wreck in
governmental affairs that was ever
presented by one administration to
another
Discussing the industrial situation. he
said the President had Inherited from
the preceding administration the legacy
of largesS and recklessnesS which Is now
eliminating in disturbed industrial con-
ditionS so grave as to tax the wisdom of
craftsmanship for their solution"
stand Firm, Strikers Told.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July 1S.-Ad-
dressing an assembly of $500 per-
and their families here, Representa-
tive George Huddleston of the ninth
Alabama district blamed President
Harding and the administration for
the strike of railway shopmen and
the coal strike. He said that the
President was Ignorant of what
both the railroads and their EN-
ployes wanted" The strikers were
urged to stand firm
Representative Huddleston asserted
that the strike was not occasioned by
wages as a grievance alone, but was
caused 'out of the evaporation of the
employees over the force which the rail-
roads have persisted in"
The railroad workers owe the
public the duty to keep trains rum
ming, but this duty is conditioned
upon the public seeing to it that the
workers are protected from oppres-
Sion,' he said.
Turning to the Esch -Cummins act,

SmartinC Under Criticism.

French leaders are smarting under
recent foreign criticism that France
is blocking an obviously necessary re-
adjustment, and demands as a pre-
ljmipary to possible revision of
rcparations that the allies at least
should justify France in the eyes OF
the world to the extent of placing the
blame squarely upon Germany.
The necessity for quick action ap-
parently is being realized, however.
as the government has hurriedly ar
ranged with Germany to bring last

day of this week. although the agree

indemnity TO $4,000 100000 gold marks.
Sir John has been the chief medium
in bringing this plan before the mem

WASHINGTON. Dec. 19.-Pro-

committee in connection with the i'm
parchment charges brought against
Attorney General Daugherty by Rep
resentative Keller. republican, Min
nesota, appeared today to be nearing
an end, In fact, 1t was indicated that
the scope of future hearings would
depend to a large measure on the ma
ture of information to be laid before
the committee by Representative
Woodruff, republican, Michigan, after
his examination of documents at the
department of justice.
After brief public session today,
at which no additional evidence was
received, the committee decided in ex-

SEEKING TO PREVENT
SPREAD OF FRUIT FLY

WASHINGTON. Dec. ia strong
plea for an effective quarantine or
other restrictions to prevent the in
PRODUCTION OF the Mediterranean and
other fruit flies into the United
States in imported fruit and vege-
tables, was made at the federal hor-
ticultural board today by a Cali
fornia delegation, composed of rep
resentatives of every branch of the
fruit industry there. 1t was sup
ported by Florida, represented by J.
H. Montgomery OF the state plant
board. and by West Virginia, repre-
scented by II. w. Miller of the West
Virginia Horticultural society
Representatives OF a dozen foreign
nations which send fruits and vege-
tables to the United States urged
that no embargo ne placed on their
products. Fruit and vegetable inn
porters from Atlantic coast cities
were represented and various COM
mercial organizations. whose in
terests are allied with the fruit ana
vegetable industry were heard.
Chairman c. L. Marlatt of the fed
eral horticultural board explained
the necessity for some means to pre-
vent the introduction OF the insect
pests.
Any action taken, he said. would
be only after careful examination OF
the facts.

NOTED"
AS to the department of Justice ae-
tion In regard to war fraud cases Mr..
Johnson said that In his judgment
Attorney General Daugherty had pro-
ceeded with reasonable promptness in
bringing suits considering that he
had had TO reorganize the department
after he came TO the alleged frauds
examined before any move could be
made.
Cases Prosecuted
Mr.. Woodruff also told the commit
tee that since he made his charges
in the House last April of failure
by Mr.. Daugherty to prosecute war
fraud cases, suits had been brought
in six of the eight or nine instances
he had cited, and that this had
changed the situation materially He
added that 1t was not his purpose to
embarrass the Attorney General in
the conduct of the court proceedings
and that his opinion was that these
cases should not be inquired into at
this time.
Asking that he and his counsel II.
L. Scaife, a former attorney employed
in the justice department, be per-
mitted to examine the documents in
the Wright Martin case" Mr.. Wood
ruff said that whether he could pre-
sent charges that would form the
basis for impeachment proceedings
within the scope of the Keller specifi-
cations would depend on what these
documents disclosed. Assistant At
torney General Seymour Immediately
announced that the documents would
be made available to Mr.. Woodruff
and his attorney.

ORGANIZE A COUNTY
TAX PAYERS LEAGUE

At the Monet Farm Club meeting,
last night, the preliminaries for
County Tax Payers League were dis
cussed and formulated. On next We'd
nesday the 9th. Inst. at 1880 p. m. to
which time the meeting was adjourn
ed the final steps of the organization
will be adopted.
According to the figures furnished
by the State Board of Equalization
under date of Nov. 22nd, the assessed
valuation of real and personal proper
ty of Barry County in 1921 amounted
to $14,41O,181 in 1922 to $15,073,791
making an increase Of $663,610 while
Greene County was decreased S7,257,-
419, Jasper County decreased $5,202,-
445, Jackson County decreased $751;
314,969.
The contemplated organization is
non-political, but one for self-preser-
walton, information and investigation.
State politicians tell the taxpayer
that the County Courts are response
BILE for this increase in taxes. County
politicians in turn place the blame or
the State. In turn as the taxpayer
foots the bill and has reached the point
that patience is no longer virtue,
takes upon himself to devise WI wAys and
means to know the why's and where
fors and to call halt if possible to
an added burden which is slowly but
surely crowding the farmer to the
wall and which is naturally creating
a deep undercurrent of discomfort.
The Missouri Farm Bureau and the
Missouri Farm Association will join
forces to make demands at the coming
session of the legislature for the low
ering of taxes on farm property, real
and personal.
Last nights meeting was full of
pep and it is expected that next We'd
nesday night good results will be OBJ
tanned from the final organization.
All tax payers interested in this move
ment are welcomed and invited to
participate in the proceedings.

TOURISTS SPEND
$6,OoO,o0O IN OZARKS
Ozark Fairgrounds Association Esti-
mates 10000 Visited this Section
This Year.

A report covering the work of the
Ozark Fairgrounds Association in
the official year just ended has been
prepared by John F. Potts, secre-
tary, aided by, other officers of the
association.
1t estimates that $6,OOO,OOO in
"new money" was brought into the
fourteen-county Fairgrounds region
during the year by some 10000
tourists. 1t is calculated that ap-
proximately $4,000 motor cars car
rying tourists entered the region and
that no less than $4,000 tourists and
vacationists entered over the three
railroads into the Ozarks.
These estimates, which Potts de-
clares are conservative, are based up
on the results of research of records
at the tourist bureau here and reports
from towns and resorts all over the
region, particularly the border towns
at main entrance points.
