FAVORs FOUR-POWER
TREATY PRINCIPLE
81 am strongly in favor Of the princi-
pie Of the four power treaty" he said,
but I would regard 1t as a grave mis-
take for the United States to ratify the
treaty without a reservation giving this
country the right to act independently in
the event Of trouble. Independent action
is merely implied by the treaty as 1t
now stands. 1t should be written into
the treaty in strong terms that would
leave no doubt as to the meaning"
re snti-lynching bill was character
tied by Mr.. Bryan as a very partisan
Measure" The utilization Of a tax on au-
tomObiles to pay a soldier bonus" he
said, would create a very unfavOrable re-
action
''Ths reaction against the Republican
party" Mr.. Bryan said, has become quite
pronounced. 1 think the prospects for
Democratic Congress this fall are good.
FARMERS CONDITION
UNSATISFACTORY.
Farmers make up ons-third Of the
country's population They are in worse
condition than they have been for mora
than thirty years. Lsborers are dissat-
isaed because wages have been reduced
quite generally, while the cost OF living
has not been reduced to the same extent.
Business is not good generally. The
country IS not so prosperous as II was
two years ago. 4 great many people
are Influenced by those conditions N
their votes. The Republicans always said
that II business was good, no explanA-
tions were necessary. But business Is
not good now"
According to Mr.. Bryan the rsTenus
revision act is 'one Of the strongest ar
guments" against the Republican Ad-
ministratiOn. The action OF the "agT1-
culture bloc in supporting the fight
against retroactive Efforts Of the new
bloc" in his opinion. were a happy con-
trast to what he said was wall Street
bloc" whose operation. he claimed, had
covered a period Of thirty years.
He denounced the Newberry resolution
and said there had been no reaction
against probation.

ROAD DIRECTOR
ASKS FENCES
MOVED BACK
Highway Commission Appeals
to Landowners Where Roads
to Be Widened.

Owners of land contiguous to State
roads which the State highway com
mission desires to widenf are again ap-
pealed to in letters sent out today by
Lawrence Lyons. director. asking their
cooperation with the department by NOV
ing back property line fences.
According to. Alvan v Burch. of Evans
vile, vie chairman Of the commission
it is desired there be fifty feet from
fence to fence line The majority of
landowners over the State recognize the
value of a modern highway adjacent to
their land and are complying with the
request. Some farmers in Yanderburg
County. however. have not speeoed up
this work as the commission thinks they
should in view of the Improvement they
receive when a State maintained road
passes their land, Mr.. Burch said.
Mr.. Lyons letter in part reads:
"In order to make necessary improve
ments to carry present and future traffic
1t will be necessary that q right of-way
of fifty feet be provided between fence
lines. We do not desire that landowners
go to any further expense than Is needed
to provide a suitable right of way how
ever. we realize the traffic on many of
our important roads is going to increase
rapidly in the next few years and it is
importane that we provide a suitable
width Of road We cannot afford as an
economic proposition, to widen out a
few feet each year
MANY people are not so fortunate
as to live upon State road which
win be made a good road in the near
future, yet they pay the same taxes
as those who front on q State high
way. Therefore we do not think it un,
fair for those who are to benefit most
by the road to cooperate to the exteat
Of furnishing 4 place to build It."
The letters designate by number the
particular road the commission wishes
widened and point cat that the depart
ment engineers VIII $50 stakes for the
new lines.
