FARM BLOC IN
CONGRESSCETS
HARDMCSO.K,

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.

NOVRy = A6nkp 4VAAp w x0G kAxkuH.y
Washington, D. c.. July 3.-Pres-
ident Harding has enunciated a
new Interpretation of the group or
bloc system in congress.
The president recognized as in
evitable the development Of groups
to champion particular measures,
and he has no objection to the ac-
tivity they may show in putting
their legislative proposals through
congress. But he has made 1t plain
that the, test as to the sincerity of
any group or bloc will depend en-
uses its political power to bargain
uses its politica lpower to bargain
with other groups in getting suf-
f1cient votes to put through meas
ures which are not of national
value. -
In other words. the farm bloc is
not fundamentally displeasing to
Mr.. Harding. He would much rath-
er. OF course, have efficient party
organization SO that the party lead
ers would be qualified to give de-
tailed attention. to the interests Of
every section and class. But In the
case of agricultural conditions the
president realizes that Representa-
tives and senator's from agricultur-
al states are likely to look at things
from much the same viewpoint
whether they are Republicans OF
Democrats. So long as what forms
the farm bloc demands, however
is in line with the national inter-
est, Mr.. Harding feels that it should
have the fullest support of the ex-
ecutive. For instance. the improve
ment of marketing conditions, the
reduction of freight rates and kin.
dred reforms have FOR their objec.
tive q prosperous agricultural com.
munity, and this in turn means
prosperity for all those industries
which sell goods to the farmer.
| Explains His Stand.
Mr.. Harding was moved to ex
plain his views Just the other 'da.
in addressing privately some OF th,
representatives Of farm organi1a
tions and farm journals. The pres
dent was, of course, trying to over
come the opposition Of agriculture
members of congress to the shi]
subsidy bill. This opposition ha.
been traditional and is due largel,
to the fact that the inland section
of the country are not interested di
rectly in maritime affairs.
In the rural districts, the expen
diture Of money for ships has al
ways seemed an extravagance. Tn
president, however. 10 tackling tn
subject Of shipping from . broade
aspect than the mere improvement

insists that the farmer Is directl

shot was fired. Finally. it is said,
Oldfield ordered the constable out
Of the yard. At this juncture, ac-
cording to John L. Jones, 2426 FIJI
teenth street, Ellis instructed his
son to get his revolver out Of Ellis
machine. The son obeyed, accord
ing to MIR. Jones, and then disap-
peared behind the barn. With re-
volver drawn, Mr.. Jones says, Ellis
threatened to shoot if Oldfeld took
another step. Oldfield moved for

lis fired, the shot taking effect IN
Oldfield's stomach.
The injured man staged from
the rear end Of the lot to the back
steps of his house. Resting a mo-
ment he dragged his way to the
front porch, Ellis following him all
the while.
Mr.. Jones and other .neighbors
went to Mr.. Oldfield and preferred

and Ellis was taken in custody.

That his father shot in self-de-

"Father left me at the car while
he went to the barn where he read
the execution to Oldfield," said the
boy. "Oldfield refused to accept
