The National leader., 1922-02-20

There was Charlie Brand, late of the
bureau of markets, who fixed the
wheat grades up so nicely that all the
millers we're we'll pleased. There was
Julius Barnes, the grain man who was
president Of Mr. Hoover's grain cor
poration, which regulated the profits
of the grain dealers and the millers
during the war. And there were i'm
plement manufacturers and railroad
presidents and meat packers and vege-
table Gamers and fertilizer men and
representatives of all the industries
"allied with farming"
There were also some farmers,
strange as it may seem, but they were
surrounded by men Of big brains.
Some conferences might organize
themselves and elect their own chair
man and committees: But not this
one: The secretary Of agriculture saw
to that. He named the chairman and
the committees. It saved the farmers
and their friends the trouble of think
ing.
The conference had been made safe,
but not entirely sane. One farmer got
up and gave it as his opinion that the
thing was "packed." And the confer
ence refused to disown the "farm
bloc" the group of western and south
ern men that has been making so much
trouble for Mr. Harding and his
friends. It indorsed them. Other
wise it performed about as expected.
IND the farm conference do any
thing to guarantee the farmers
fair return, such as is guaran-
teed to the railroads by the Esch-C Cum
minis law, and as is guaranteed manu-
facturers by prohibitive tariffs? Did
it do anything to get the farmer imme-
diate and cheap loans instead of dis
tributing them to the bankers, as is
being done now?
It did neither Of these. 1t angrily
threw such propositions out. But it
passed some nicely worded resolu-
tions. ~r.* =.
Says Ben Marsh of the Farmers
National council: ''The conference
was called $ s. to prove an alibi
for the present administrators crimi-
nal subservience and service to the in
terests which exploit agriculture"
But then, you know Ben. He has
no sense of humor. He probably
never saw red-headed clown in his
life. .0
He ought to go to Jail.

The American Tobacco Growers
Cooperative Exchange was brough
into being Tuesday at a meeting a
Louisville Of representatives Of to
bacco growers cooperative associa
tions Of the United States and Can
ada.
Formation of the federation cam,
at the final session of a two-day con
ference. James c. Stone, Of Lexing
ton, president of the Buriey Tobacco
Growers Cooperative arketing Asso
citation, was elected first president OF
the exchange. w. o. Wilson, of Raj
eigh, N. c.. field service director for
the Tri-state Tobacco Growers Co
operatice Association, was chosen as
secretary. Exchange headquarters
were placed at the hurley headquar.
ters at Lexington.
Concentration of the strength of
the tobacco co-operatives for the pro-
lection and profit of each member as
sociation was brought about directly
by adoption of a resolution offered by
j. Y. Joyner, of Lagrange, NJ c. The
resolution stated:
Resolved, That the present organ
ization and temporary officers be
made permanent and that an execu-
tive committee composed of the pres
ident of each cooperative association
represented, with James G. Stone as
chairman and Aaron Sapiro as gener-
al counsel. be approved with full pow
er to act in all matters for the ex-
change until its next meeting.
In addition to the hurley associa-
tion and the tri-state association,
there were represented at the meet
ing the Canadian Tobacco Growers
Cooperative. Association, the Con-
necticut Valley Tobacco Growers AS
sociation and the Northern Wisconsin
Tobacco Growers Cooperative Pool.
The association now being formed
among the dark tobacco growers of
Kentucky will become a member up
on the completion of organization, it
was brought out.
Possibility of a joint personnel in
the operation of the tobacco co-opera-
tives, particularly with reference to
the hurley and tri-state associations,
was considered Tuesday. 1t develop
ed that the two associations, with the
hurley crop coming on the heels of
the tri-state, probably would be able
to use the same set of graders, calcu-
lators, bill clerks and so one. The
opinion generally was that such ac-
tion would result in economy and eff
ficiency, il was said.

ATTEMPT TO WRECK
L. & NJ. TRAIN FAILS

An unsuccessful attempt was made
to wreck an accommodation L. & N.
passenger train at Corbin, when wires
of an electric signal block system
were cut and used to fasten a number
of iron bolts to the rails just south
of the Corbin yards. When the train
reached Woodbine. the first station
south Of Corbin. a man approached
the engineer and warned him that to
proceed farther would be attended by
certain disaster, as the northbound
track through the Corbin yards was
obstructed. An investigation was be-
gun and the plot discovered, it was
said.
The bolts would have instantly de-
rallied the rapidly moving train, the
railroad men said. The train was
switched at Woodbine and taken in
over the southbound main track.

THE LANGLEY NICKEL

When Representative Langley was
very small boy he sold apples from
the family apple tree. He is still
using the family tree as means of
acquiring sustenance He is said TO
have won his first nomination by pub
licly reminding his opponent of a
five-cent debt for apples owed to
Mr.. Langley for many years. The ap
plum. II is being used freely in the
present campaign whereby Mr.. Lang
ley hopes to retain his congressional
place.
He is not spending the nickel, of
course. He is just talking about II.
If much comes in and little goes out,
accumulation results. This import
ant discovery was made by Mr.. Lang
ley early in life. He will never be
hailed before the house for Newberry-
ism.
The family tree bears much fruit.
Mr. Langley gathers his quota fpr
holding his seat. He has obtained a
lucrative position for his wife She
receives $2.740 year. This addition
to the family tree income is equal to
$4,000 nickels. Mr.. Langley's rela-
tives like apples, too. Among his kin
from the Tenth district helping to
regain the nickel debt are Ernest
Langley. of the revenue department,
and William Langley, Of the census
bureau. Ernest receives $4,000 nick
els year. William has to get along
on 100 nickels a day.
The poor boy story is becoming
rather frayed In American politics
The story OF Lincoln's hardships was
legitimate enough. So was that Of
many another lad who educated him
self and earned his living at the same
time In the pioneer days. Evsn Gov
ernor Miller. OF New York. has re-
ctial OF the tosgh time he had In ear
ly life. But the nickel debt OF Mr..
Langley has been paid by the taxpay-
ers 30 many times that a receipts in
full is about due.
The debt was FIRST claimed siIteen
years ago. II has kept Mr.. Langley
in luxury all that time. The original
debtor may not have paid It, II the
cry for 1t still goes up. some progress
sive Democrat in the Tenth shosld
give Mr. Langley q nickel There are
important national questions TO be an
swered. Nickel congressman can give
only nickel service. - Louisville
