He warned the committeeman that il they

the South had gone gimmering. He appealed
to their patriotism and honesty Of purpose.
His testimony made great impression. In
private conversation with leaders he is said to

their hearts flames Of hope.

Republicans Recognize
Trend of Sentiment

The Republican politicians and oficehold-
ers Of this section are by no means unaware
of this sentiment. In fact, they are keenly
and painfully conscious Of it. They are
struggling the best they can to throw it of
and TO defect the tide from themselves to their
political brethren elsewhere. The 6. o.. p.
politicians Of the South are united for Ford.
They are doing their level best 10 secure the
passage Of his proposal. But they are often
nightly discouraged and downhesrted at the
prospects.
The truth is it was Republican business
nsn-politeian Of Tennessee who first endeav-
ored to interest Mr.. Ford in the power and
nitrate development. That was Claud!us H.
Huston, who had been the money collector for
the national committee in the state during the
1920 campaign, and who had managed 20

How Ford Was Interested
In Shoals Project

One Of the unknown geniuses Of the develop
ment of the Tennessee had been one j. W.
Worthington, Of the Tennessee River Improve
ment Association, zealot on the potentialities
of Muscle Shoals as power source and the
river as an artery Of traffic He had clear
and seeing eye as to what the project would
accomplish. 1t had been the dream OF his life
TO bring it about. The refusal Of Congress to
appropriate for it cut him to the quick. The
indifference with which the du Points, Cyana-
mid people and others refused TO bid for 1t
hurt him still worse. But he refused TO be dis
couraged. He surveyed IN 1Ais mind the posi-
bic men in the country who had resources and
the vision to do something with Muscle Shoals.
He happened to think Of Henry Ford.
Then he went to Mr.. Huston in Washington
and put the proposition up to him. All other
angles had been exhausted 1t was long
chance, but they took IT, After securing the
permission Of Secretary Hoover and Secretary
Weeks an appointment was made with Mr.
Ford. Mr.. Worthington went to Detroit He
presented the matter to the livver genius. Mr.

Chose Bridgeport as Field
For Testing His Theory

Mr.. Tresckow came 20 this country from
Germany twelve years ago as boy ana AZ
noor as any other immigrant passing through
the gates Of Ellis Island. He has not attendea
college. hut the scientific works which line his
study at l22 Hastings Street testify to the
close application he has given his research
work. Bridgeport, with its huge manufaetui-
ing plants, has afforded an excellent held TOT
his observations. From the birth statistics OF
that city he has formulated chart which not
only indicates high peaks Of male births our
inc extreme seasons Of heat and cold, but
shows a steady if not very large predominance
Of male births since the war. This excess OF
male births since the war is even more marked
in Italy, Mr.. Tresckow says.
In 1918 the months of January and Febru-
ary were unusually cold. Mr.. Tresckow dis
covered that the number Of male births occur
ring ten to eleven months after this cold spell
was 100 per cent in excess Of the number OF
female births during the same period. In 1914
occurred another "high peak in the births Of
males. This was due, according TO Mr. Tres
ckow's observation to the fact that that year
had the highest average temperature ever re-
corded by the government Weather Bureau Of
flee in New Haven during its existence Of
forty-eight years, as we'll as the ninety-fye
previous years during which records were kept.
Hot weather, he says, lowering the vitality Of
the mother, would have tendency 70 increase
the number of male births, just as cold weather
would have the same effect
Mr.. Tresckow emphasizes the point that
these extremes do not seem TO affect sex II
they occur within the nine months preceding
birth. The question Of lowered vitality con-
Germs the mother during the first three months
Of the year preceding the birth Of the child.

I'VE been going about telling people what
new string beans were worth on April 20
II and how raw silk was spun from cocoons
gathered from mulberry trees and made
into kimonos by japanese boys Of twelve and
under.
1t got me considerable reputation for learn
ing, for while, this fund of information.
Whenever got an opportunity would lead
a conversation up TO gardens, and from gar
dens to produce, and then / would announce
to the assembled company that new Bermuda
onions were worth 18 cents a pound, but the
native variety, which were not quite so good,
could be had for IL cents in bushel lots.
Everybody would gasp bit when they re-
ceived these tidings and regard me with added
respect. One gets so little respect in this
world of scofers that it was very pleasant.
Sometimes l would vary my system, particu-
larly when there were children in the COM
pany, and tell bedtime story or deliver
short address on the progress Of foreign mis-
sions in Afghanistan. That got me credit with
the chidren's parents, although the children
themselves remained singularly uninterested.
Still persisted.

Farmers Bloc
Is Attempt To
Get Square Deal

AS we understand II, the farmers
bloc is nothing more than an attempt
to help the farmers OF this country
to get a square deal. 1t is not class
legislation, as Wall street journals
have called it. And IL it were. Wall
street is not a very good place from.
which to preach, historically speak
ing, about class legislation. The
farmers bloc has a program which
definitely plans to help the farmer
by helping all other business. That
the farmer needs help and that the
agricultural interests of this country
are of vital importance to every other
interest seems to be granted. Any
sane legislation that will help the
farmer to obtain a fair financial re-
turn for his hard work will imme-
diately help every other business.
The history of every financial de-
preston of this country and every
other proves that agricultural de-
preston has always been accompa-
MED by all business depression. And
the economists tell us that the farm
ers' depression Is the cause OF the
others.
There Is surely something wrong
when the following condition prevails
in farmers communities over the
middle west. We quote from one let
ter out of many that come from farm
ers to this office:
Lately I butchered a veal calf and
took the hide to Sterling. Colo, 10
miles from where I live, and sold ii to
the manager of branch house Of a
hide and fur company. He told me
he had just got quotations that the
hide market was off and could only
pay two and q half cents per pound
for hides. told him I was in luck
to strike such a good market The
hide brought ~ cents

According to Senator Arthur Cap
per of Kansas, in a recent speech in
the senate:
"Within the last five years in one
Kansas county hogs have decreased
from $4,000 to little more than 10000.
while corn acreage Is 20 per cent less
than six years ago. l have these
figures from the county farm agent
OF the state.
"The president OF the Oklahoma
state board of agriculture says Okla
homa has $4,000 farms without a
steer on them, and that Oklahoma
has 100000 fewer stock cattle than
in 1909.
stocks OF cured beef on October
I were the lowest ever reported to the
bureau Of markets, being 100000
pounds less than year ago: 17.000,-
900 pounds less than the five-year
average. These ars government fig
ures."
Legislation cannot change the laws
of nature, nor bring in the millen-
MUM of business prosperity over
night. But 1t does seem as if some
kinds of honest attempts could be
made, and we believe they viii be
made, to see that the farmer. on
whom the entire nation depends for
food, reaps financial reward for
his toll which will be of such a kind
that he can make not only a living
but also enjoy the things which ought
to go with such life of hard work
II the young men of this country are
going to stay on the farm, one of the
Inducements certainly must be the
assurance that a decent living can be
made on it. And this Is one of the
prime objects of the farmers bloc.
If this is class legislation, it is
only what every class OF business is
asking for and tryin" to get,

tax on stocks, bank checks, etc. and
q federal tax on automobiles. These
taxes are considered by some to be
painless, but they are far from that
TO the party which enacts them. In
Canada it was turned out bodily.
The same class of people in Canada,
where 81 per cent of the tax is pro-
duced by the manufacturing and
other consumption taxes, are opposed
to these taxes as are opposed to the
sale tax in United States; that is
the laboring class and farmers.
THE underlying and fundamental
injustice in consumption taxes is that
where a man has q low income, all
Of which he must spend for living
expenses, he is taxed on his whole
income, whereas a man with a large
income one-half. third. or one
tenth of which he spends for living
pays a tax on only that part which
he spends and escapes taxation on
the rest. So that it is, in fact, taxa
tion in inverse proportion TO a mans
ability to pay. This is recognized by
all economists from Adam Smith
down.
Another feature that deserves
consideration Is the cost of collec-
tion of such a tax" Some opposi-
tion was made to the excess profits
tax on fhe ground that it costs .055
per cent for collection. In Canada
The taxes on imported articles has TO
be at least per cent higher than the
tax on domestic products on account
of loading"
