Capper Defends
The Farm Bloc
By ARTHUR CAPPER
U. S. Senator, Kansas

Here is the true reason why we
have a group of men in Congress
sometimes called the farm bloc"
Our entire business structure rests
upon the land. The farmer not only
feeds us and clothes us, but is as Il
class our best customer. Without
him the railroads would langish. the
steel industry perish. Unless the
farmer and the farm industry pros
per. no other industry can. This is
the task these representatives and
senators from agricultural states feel
they have cut out for them. They
will welcome help and support from
and direction. This is manifest
duty they owe to the entire country,
not merely to their constituency. for
no one is going to escape the conse-
quences of this collapse of agricul-
ture. and now it is only question of
ending it as soon as possible and, il
possible, for all time. l know that
this is possible. just as l know that
it is imperative if we are again to
know the meaning of good times.
The measures supported by the ag-
ricultural bloc" are not proposals to
get the farmers something for nOth-a
ing. They are the remedies urged
by economists and students of agri-
culture. nor are they class legislation,
a1lu, above an, Dy the IaTmeTs tHeHi-
selves to uplift this fundamental in
dustry to a place where it will be a
blessing to the country because it is
self-sustaining and prosperous.
Farming is the only business that
buys at retail and sells at wholesale.
that pays what is asked when it buys
and accepts what is offered when it
sells.
''In his recent message to Congress.
President Harding gave his unquali-
fed approval to cooperative mark
eting legislation. We have discov.
cred that middlemen organizations to
prevent the rise of farm cooperative
marketing are attacking local coop
erative organizations of farmers in
courts for violation of the antitrust
acts. The cooperative movement
has been long obstructed and dis
couraged by these interests.
1.-The American farmer can never
be an efficient salesman of his own
products without the clear legal right
to market them collectively.

q man answering to the description of
the missing cashier had purchased a
cloth cap of distinctive pattern only
few moments after noon on the day
that Goudie vanished.
BY means of this clue and a detailed
report on aoudie's appearance, Freost
soon had every man connected with
Scotland Yard searching for the alb
sconding cashier But 1t was several
weeks before he was located and cap
tured in a lodging house in the north
Of England.
However, the arrest Of the man
who looted the Bank Of Liverpool did
not by any means close the case.
Even before he was discovered,
Freost had found out that Goudie had
been in the habit of playing the races
-patronzing clique Of Handbook
men," who had played upon his Gu
pidity In such a manner that they, and
not he, had secured the benefits Of his
dishonesty. In order to recover the
money, Freost therefore had to round
up the members Of this gambling ring
and force them to disgorge.
It developed that the leader Of the
organization. sensing way In which
to make lot Of money, without run
ming any risk, had approached Goudie
with an account of ''fixed race"

and that the cashier, believing that
he could clean up fortune In sin
gle day, had taken twenty-five thousand
pounds from the bank, falsifying the
aceannta to eQneeols the shortage. The
si niSig 5 cfedGfity ~ evident from the
fact that he placed the money at odds
Of 20 to 1, which meant that he stood
to win half million pounds, or ST.

course, no bookmaker could afford to
pay bet Of this size-but Goudie
overlooked this fact and cheerfully
waeered his "borrowed" capital. The
horse naturally failed to win. and. In
an effort to recoup his losses, the cash
Ter commenced systematically to loot
the banks funds.
One Of the odd features of the case
which Freost discovered. by blind luck,
Goudie one day placed big bet on a
horse that won. When he went to
collect his bet, with the firm intention
OF squaring his accounts with the
bank, he was casually informed that
the wager had not been placed in
time, and he was advised to put It on

Miller is Opposed
To Extra Session
By j. l.. MILLER

Representative General Assembly
Being desirous of ascertaining the
opinion of the people of Crowley coun-
ty as to the advisability at this time
of an extra session of the legislature
and believing that the quickest meth
cd of finding out their wishes is to
appeal to them through the columns
of the press, l trust that you will
grant me a little space in your valu-
able paper.
The people of Pueblo are making
strong appeal to the governor to call
an extra session for the primary pur-
pose of passing what is known as
conservancy bill which, if passed,
would make it possible to organize
conservation districts for the purpose
of supposed flood prevention and they
will leave no stone unturned to bring
about their purpose. While it is arg
ued that it costs no more in salaries
for an extra session, every one who
has had the experience knows that the
cost of such session is no small
amount to be added to the taxable list.
I am sorry that space will not per-
nit the publication of the bill as it has
been prepared but as it covers 80
typewriter sheets it would require
special edition of most of the papers,
but will say that it is one of the most
far reaching bills that was ever drawn
and certainly places the property of
any person residing within the limits
of any district organized under the
proposed law. in other hands than
their own. and there are other, to my
mind, very serious objections to the
bill.
1 am frank to say that am op-
posed to the calling of special ses-
sion with it's attendant expense. at
this time for the consideration Of any
the taxes in this district feel that one
should be called and are willing to
pay the bills, a few weeks in Denver.
might be enjoyable.
The question Is an important. one
and would like to hear from every
tax payer in the district.

one Of the most difficult Jobs of his
career.
One by one Freost picked up the
various threads of the tangled case.
One by one he followed the various
clues, at least one Of which led to
the suicide of a member of the book
makers clique. But. in addition to
seeing that Gouldie was sent to prison
for ten years. Freost secured evil
