The drive will be launched sinul-
taneously in every farm bureau dis
trict of the valley. At least three
teams will work in each district. the
plan being to visit every farmer in
the county before the campaign is
brought to a close Saturday night OF
this week.
Signing of the grain producers
yesterday came as q happy surprise
to the campaign directors and created
a spirit of optimism about campaign
in the drive.
The Seven Sianers
Those who signed the grain con-
tracts yesterday were S. G. Miller,
Fred TAFT. M. w. Faherty. L. Ga
resche. Ray Cowden, C. II. Miller and
Will Mcclure. These men represent
approximately Is per cent of the grain
grown ia the valley. It was explained.
Under the terms of the agreement
entered into by these men. they agree
to pool their grain with other growers
OF the valley, and to share and snare
alike with other producers in the
management of the association. That
is to say. that each grower signing
the contract has one vote in the
operation of the grain pool. regardless
of the extent of his holdings in the
pool. A. man with 1000 pounds of
grain has just as much say as the
man with 100000 pounds. it was ex-
planned.
The seven men mentioned above
signed the grain contracts voluntarily
yesterday afternoon. All are active IN

most prominent ranchers of the val-

sign up, they said, to disquiet runners
that the big grain producers world

Mr. Palmer said he was most

Sell Government
Autos to Carriers

ATLANTA, Ga, May 23-lnves-
tigation of an alleged attempt to
sell rural mail carriers several
thousand government automobiles
at $100 each. $50 down, was begun
here today by postoffice inspec-
tors. Letters offering to sell the
machines, it was said, were signed
"James D. Bailey" and said the
writer was a member of congress
serving on the house committee on
postcffices and postroads. Re-
cipients were cautioned not to di-
vulge their contents.
The attention of L. A. John
son, postoffice inspector in charge
of the Atlanta district, was called
to the automobile offer by c. D.
Lindsey. a carrier on a route out
of TucI er, Ga, who had received
one of the letters written on what
appeared to be the official sta
tionery of the house of represent
atives. The letter requested that
$50 be remitted with his appIica-
ton for one of the cars. The bal
ance was to be paid in small
monthly instaIIments.
According to Inspector Johnson,
the name of Bailey does not ap-
pear in the house roster issued
last month, and is not on the ros
ter of the house committee on
postofflces and postroads.

Cry of Anti-Drys Is
For Liquor and Not
Liberty Says. Agent

MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 23.-The
prohibition laws are being enforced
with as great a degree of success as
many other laws on the statute
books, A. W. Barkley, member or
congress from Kentucky, told the
Wisconsin law enforcement conven-
tion tonight.
Those who advocate the legal
manufacture or sale of wine and beer
under the constitution are advocating
open violation, no matter how mueh
they may attempt to salve 1t over
with attractive phraseology," he said.
"a man who does not know that beer
is intoxicating is a driveling idiot.
That language was sanctioned by the
United States supreme court in pass
ing on decision by the highest court
of one of your states.
"The Volstead law is drastic. IL
had to be drastic because the. Vlo-
lators with whom it was meant 10
deal are drastic crowd, but the VOL
stead law is no more drastic than
the laws of more than 80 states on
this subject.

spell binders that prohibition has de-
stroyed our liberty and the nation
is on the road to the ancient sepul-
| chre. 1t is something new to see a

SENATE MAY GET I
BONUS MEASURE
BEFORE HARDING
EXPRESSES VIEW

WASHINGTON, May 23-Chairman
McCumber may bring UP the soldiers
bonus bill in the senate finance COM
mittee majority without waiting for
President Harding to communicate
his views on the amended house meas
ure. He said today he would try to
get the bill before the majority some
time this week.
Senator MeCumber desires to have
the bonus measure placed on the sem
ate calendar at an early date so sem
ators may have an opportunity to
study it ard thus be prepared for
senate confederation when favorable
opportunity offers. Before the bill
can be reported to the senate, how
ever, it must be approved by the en-
tire finance committee, Republicans
and Democrats.
Some RepI blican senate leaders are
in favor CT letting the bonus ques-
tion rest for a while in the hope that
the negotiation looking TO the re-
funding OF the foreign debt soon will
reach the stage where some definite
information viii be available as to
when the refunded foreign bonds will
be in hand for financing the adjust
ed compensation legislation.
Supporters cf the legislation in its
present form, however, argue that the
cost of the financing for the first
two years will be so small that there
is no need of waiting until the for
eign band actually are in the pos
session of TIE treasury department
before the legislation is enacted.
The ament ed house bill was out
lined to tie president two weeks age
by Senator McCumber and others OF
the finance committee. and it was
stated then that the president would
communicate his views to the house
Thus far Chairman McCumber has
received no word from him.

THREE HUNDRED
PRISONERS ARE
I AIKEN IN RAID
ON SINN EELNs
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


BELFAST, May 23-Three hun
dred or more prisoners were taken
by special constables in the various
counties OF Ulster today.
The prisoners comprised, for the
most part. officers and men of the
Irish republican army as well as
members OF the Sim F'ein and other
organizations opposed to the con-
stituted authorities here.
Although the northern government
h d contemplated drastic action
against the Sim Fein, it was the as
sassination of w. j. Twaddell. a
meRber of the northern parliament.
that really decided the government
to act promptly. But at the same
time, it reduced the number of cap
tives in the round up as many of
the leading republicans left Belfast,
dreading reprisals, and thus escaped
the police net.
The prisoners will be interned. but
the place of their interment has not
yet been determined.
Premier Craig, in parliament today.
declared that the recent serious dis
orders made it clear that forcible ac-
ton was necessary. consequently he
had issued a new regulation making
membership in the Irish republican
army an offense in itself. The gov
ernment had further decided to ar
rest number Of persons long under
observation because it was impossi-
bic to allow such individuals in
Ulster to carry on conspiracy
against authority. The government
would not hesitate to employ its full
powers to suppress such conspiracy
The premier emphasized that this
action was not due to panic but had
been in mind for some weeks.

DEPARTMENT
A bOL|SHED
Secretary Mellon Consoli-
dates Old Offices Under
New Internal Revenue
Collections Department

WASHINGTON, May 23-Secre-
tary Mellon signed an order today
abolishing the accounts unit and the
supervisors of collectors officers and
consolidated the duties hitherto per-
formed by these two offices under a
new unit to be known as the ac-
counts and collections unit of the
bureau OF internal revenue.
Deputy Commissioner Charles G.
Nash OF Minnesota, former assistant
field supervisor will assume charge
fthe new unit which comes into
being forthwith. Deputy Commits
sioner A. d. Summer of Iowa, who
has been in charge of the accounts
unit. and c. C. Child Of Ohio, super
visor of collectors. have been re-
moved from office by virtue of the
consolidation.
The consolidation was based on a
recommendation made to the COM
missioner of internal revenue by the
tax simplification board. Both Dep
uty Collector Summer and Mr.. Childs
were said to have been appointed
recently by Elmer Dover assistant
secretary of the treasury.
Removal of Mr.. Summer and Mr..
Childs in the absence of Mr.. Dover,
who is on tour of the Pacific coast
internal revenue and customs offices,
recalled a situation which arose at
the treasury when Carl S. Graybill,
named as appointment clerk of the
bureau upon the recommendation of
DR.. Dover. was removed by Commits
sioner Blair while Mr.. Dover was in
New York. Treasury officials were
frankly curious as to the probable
outcome of the removal of the two
Dover appointees today in view of
the recent admitted difference of
opinion between Mr.. Dover and Mr..
Blair as to the methods of increasing
the efficiency of the bureau.
At the time of the Graybill incident
and the discussion of reorganization
of the bureau, Secretary Mellon was
understood to have taken a similar
view of the situation as Mr.. Blair
and an official announcement was
made that no changes in the bureau
were contemplated. That statement
was issued, however, after the pub
lication of reports that Mr.. Dover
was planning a sweeping reorganiza-
tion of the bureaus personnel.
Today's action was regarded by
some officials as an indication of an
intention by the revenue bureau to
carry the difference of opinion still
further and interest was evidenced as
to how Mr.. Dover would accept the
removal Of the two officials. Be-
yond the formal memorandum stat
ing that the consolidation of units
was upon the recommendation of the
tax simplification board. Mr.. Blair
would make no comment on the sit
uation.

HARDING RAILWAY CONFERENCE
D|sCLOS[SRELAT|0 TWEEN
SALARIES AND RATE PROBLEMS

WASHINGTON, May 23.--Admln-
istration intervention into railroad
problems as instanced most recently
in President Harding's dinner confer
ence with carrier executives has dis
closed the close relationship between
these and the problem of railroad pay
scales and railroad financing, it was
indicated today at the White House.
Railroad management, it was said,
while voicing approval of the general
proposal that rates be brought down
in the interests of general business
betterment and expansion of enter
prise. have taken the opportunity to
tell of their own troubles with wage
scales which they consider too high,
with the financing of new equipment
and repair of old, and the main
tenance and betterment of their lines.
The result is said to have made
President Harding hopeful that tan
gible immediate reductions can be
obtained.
Railroad executives We're told by
the president and Secretary Hoover
at the Saturday night conference II
they would leave class rates prae-
tieally unchanged at existing levels
they could go into session with the
interstate commerce commission and
at once cut sharply existing charges
on coal. iron ores, brick, paving ma
terials and other heavy tonnage low
unit priced commodities.
This. in the administration view
would remove burdens which have
acted to retard the wheels of COM
merce and at the same time leave
high rates on traffic which can bear
the burden because of it's high UNI
price.
MANY roads regard the proposals
with favor but others look with con
cern upon the plans as comprising
n. reduction in their chief source oil
revenue. Among the latter are list
ed the "coal roads"
Rail earnings in the East have de-
yeIoped a recent tendency to rise, II
was argued by railroad managers
while Western roads are still at low
earning points, indicating necessity
for treating the rate problem region
ally.
President Harding was acknowl-
edged to consider that the admins
tration negotiations with the roads
direct as they are both in fashion
and in application to the rate prop
| lens. were entirely separate from
interstate commerce commission pro-
cedure. although that body now has
| the general rate case under CONSIDER
alton. sin chamber 1t is merely ms
view, it is said that il the railroads
come voluntarily to the commission
radical rate reductions can be made
! Immediately and be directed at sore
spots"
If roads do not cooperate, tht
commission also, in the administra-
| ton view. must act by detailed order
after numerous and prolonged hear
ings, moving point by point to cope
with the situation under statutory
restraint. That the president car
| cut through these hampering limita'
tions is his hope rather than his as
surance. according to administration

.PRESBYTER|ANS
FAVOR PICTU URE
CE ENSORSH|P At
PRODUCING BASE

DES MONIES, Iowa, May "a
Waving letter from William "Bili'
Hart, two-gun motion picture star, in
the faces of 500 Presbyterian COM
missioners OF the 134th general as
sembly here this afternoon, the Rev.
DR.. Gustav Briegleb of Pasadena,
Cal, charged that film interests are
ridiculing Protestant pastors in their
pictures in retaliation for the censor
ship campaign being conducted
against them by Protestant denomi-
nations.
Hart's letter was in reply to one
from the California pastor protesting
against picture in which pastor is
portrayed as robbing stage coach in
order to complete the construction of
small church. The grim hero of
the studios" who is himself the au-
thor Of the scenario in question, re-
piled to the criticism that he ad-
mires "a man brave enough to go
ahead with his good work although it
involves robbing stage coach"
Later in the picture the pastor is
caught by a possee and Hare saves
him from hanging only by cutting
the rope with we'll directed shot
from his trusty pistol. "Show me a
film which ridicules or insults a
Catholic priest OFF Jewish rabbi in
this manner" shouted DR.. Briegleb.
Their insults are aimed at u.s."
Twice DR.. Brieglebs speaking time
was extended by vote Of the general
assembly.
The attack on motion pictures made
by the committee on temperance and
moral welfare in its report earlier in
the day gave only a hint of the storm
which burst when DR.. Briegleb of the
sub committee on movies took the
platform.
The Californian morals crusader
described a scene from picture now
showing in Des Noines in which a
woman STOPPING to pick something
from the ground is bitten on the
breast by a viper. The woman tears
| off her bodice and sucks the poison
| from the wound. why, if the mo-
ton picture mems intentions are SO
moral, did the director not have the
| viper bite the woman on the wrist?''
asked DIR. Briegleb. Boycott of the
aters showing Objectionable films
and national censorship at the point
| of production, based upon a federal
law, were urged by the resolution
| adopted
| Urgent need Of larger number of
candidates for the ministry was as
serted by the standing committee on
theology and. seminaries. Vacancies
| now exist for 400 Presbyterian min
| listers, which are being filled by
drafts from other denominations to
the extent of 40 during the past
! year.
