Tr sRFoCS, ARE BAD THE FARM.
 FRS WILL CURE THEM.

There is great excitement among the big city papers over the agricui- tural s'bIoe" in Congress. It seems that it is a most terrible thing for Senators elected to represent farming states to really represent their con ailments, regardless of politics.
 Yet, if these same representatives of farming states went to Washington and thereafter gave their attention and their votes to the financial and manufacturing interests, there would be no outcry at all.
 Every American knows that Tor more than half century-aye, for a century--the financial interests have been well looked after in Congress. When Wall street decided upon a certain policy, many Democratic and Republican congressman forgot their politics to unite for, and make into laws. such important bills as the great financiers and captains of in dustry demanded. It is true that OH and on certain progressives of both parties--sometimes led by a Roose- welt or Bryan protested against all the good things of legislation going to one class of business men and none to the class of business represented by the farmer and small tradesman. But they were smiled upon indulgently, or sneered at, and the 'bloc" in Congress went on voting for Big Business the same as ever.
 It was inevitable that other "blocs" would spring up. If the great farm. ins stock raising industry could get nothing from the government, it was natural that it would take the very steps that were plainly successful for other interests.
 The agricultural "bloc" has been the result.
 They say Hike cures like.' If the ''blocn that has represented high fi- nance for century was bad thing, perhaps the new ''bloc" which so much distresses the Eastern news papers and politicians and big guns generally will cure the whole "bloc'' business. Anyway, the country folks at last have something to trade with and trade on.

Former service men organized a
Service Men for New Club" with At
torney Strayer as president, Thursday
evening.
Other officers are: Paul A. Beck
EFT. vice-president: A. E. jenkins,
treasurer; DR.. w. c. Squier, secretary.
Ivan F. Moore, of Indianapolis, state
chairman of the club in an outline OF
the stand of the organization said:
The service men of Indianapolis
and Marion county, who come in per-
sonal contact with the senator from
Indiana, are in a position to judge the
qualifications best suited for the man
who represents us in congress. we
have formed club in indianapolis,
composed of 5000 ex-service men to
support Senator Harry S. New for re-
election to the senate.
Ideals and Aims.
Ideals and aims of the organization
were further outlined in resolution
passed by the meeting members oil
the club. 1t follows:
after careful consideration of the
qualifications of our candidates fol
senator we, as 100 percent Americans
believe it is our duty to support Sen
ator New for various reasons, chie
among them being the fact that he
served the United States in the Span
ish-American war. He has supported
all soldier relief bills that have come
before the senate. He employed
clerk who does nothing but fight fo
compensation claims for our soldiers
He himself gives more time to these
claims than any other senator.
Time Is Needed.
There are 100000 soldiers in Indi
ana and the biggest majority of thes'
have filed claims for compensation
ain some form. 1t is physically impos
: sible for one man to answer all thes'
letters immediate:y. The vast vetel
ans bureau sometimes takes month
to answer these letters"
Another meeting of the club is to b.
held in the office of Attorney Straye
next Monday evening. Speakers from
Indianapolis will be present to submit
the record of Senator New on variou
measures OF interest to former servic
men.

ton for extravaganza on the part OF
municipal, county and state author
tiles.
8. The fact that capital can invest
in such securities and obtain tax
free income of from three to five per-
cent prevents capital from investing
in industry, commerce, public utilities
and other enterprises, the income from
which is taxed.
4. Tax free securities dry up the
natural and legitimate sources of fed
eral revenue and compel congress to
devise other forms of taxation, which
are irritating, to say the least, and
odious and burdensome in many in
stances.
Loses Taxes
Data presented to the house com
mittee by treasury officials and tax
experts showed that even under pres
, ent conditions the federal treasury is
| losing $300,000,000 in taxes year by
| the diversion of capital into tax ex
empt securities.

The evils of tax exempt securities is
sued by states, counties and municipal-
tiles, according to nearly all the wit
nesses who appeared before the ways

set forth as follows:
/. The exemption of such property
from taxation shifts the burden of all
taxation to real estate and to incomes
from other sources, mostly income
from labor.

Practically every farm organization
was represented at the hearings on
the McFadden amendment and, with
out any exception, they went on rec
ord in favor of stopping the issuance
of tax exempt, securities. The recent
farm conference also went on record
against further exemption of income
from securities issued by states, coun-
ties and municipalities. s-cae

they to invest in non-taxable securities.
In this way, it was pointed out, the
farmer is being doubly penalized by
the existence of tax exempt bonds. He
is being penalized, the committee was
told, by having heavier tax levied
on his land, in order to meet the ex-
penses of government, and again by
having to pay a higher interest rate

MISS r DUNHRM

Parsi-An attempt against the life
Of Premier Poincare IS being plotted
In German monarchist circles, the
French government has just made
known. claiming its information was
absolutely trustworthy.
Information Of the alleged plot was
flashed to the French foreign office.
The project Of police also vas mott
fled.
When Premier Polncare left Paris
to spond the weekend at his country
home in the Department Of the Mouse
precautions for his safety we're taken
at the railroad station. Scores of po.
licemen and detectives surrounded
his train Or circulated among the
crowd. No ono was allowed to ap-
proach the station platform unless
they had a ticket permitting them to
do so.
Detectives accompanied the pre-.
micr. AS a precautionary measure a
pilot was sent ahead OF the train to
prevent any attempt at wrecking It.
A brief official note wss issued an
nounsing that the government had
learned from an authoritative source
that German monarchists were plot
ting to kill NJ. Poincare. The note
caused a mild sensation In official
and diplomatic circles. Beyond the
bare statement that ii had learned of
the plot the foreign office refused all
comment. In diplomatic quarters. it
VAS said that the first news of the
plot had reached the French embassy
in Berlin through the Berlin police.
The allied committee on guarantees
decided to present its report on che
German financial situation next week.
The report is virtually completed,
but the r%cparations committee has
not considered it advisable to take
any action on the report or on the
question OF n moratorium for Ger
many until the allied premiers have
passed upon these matters at their
coming meeting in London.
The suggestion for postponing the
London conference until after Aug. Is
is opposed in Preparations CIRCLES on
the ground that the question should
be cleared up before the next month
ly payment from Germany falls due,
the middle Of August. II it is de.
ctded to delay the London meet.
ing beyond that date is is considered
probable that the commission will
grant a moratorium for the August
payment as a means Of bridging over
the situation until the prcmiers have
conferred on the subject.

~Athens.-A note sent by the Greek
government to the allies respecting
the intentions of Greece in Asia Minor
emphasizes the view that the occu.
patton of Constantinople is the only
means Of bringing about peace, and
says Greece has made arrangements
with that purpose in view.
The note begs the allies to issue the
necessary orders to the army Of Brig.
adler Gen. Sir Charles Harrington, com.
mander of the allied forces in Constan
tinople, and says it is confident diff.
culties will not be imposed in the way
of Greece. The note adds that by the
naturalization OF Constantinople the
allies are protecting, instead of coerc
ing Turkey, and thus depriving Greece
Of means for imposing peace.
The Turkish atrocities, the note con
tinues, make 1t vital for Greece to
adopt more energetic measures against
the Turks, but adds that the Greek
government is willing to discuss the
matter with the allies.
Gen. Harington's declaration that he
will oppose by force any move toward
Constantinople has caused deep disap.
pointment in Greece.
The drachma fell to nearly so to the
dollar.
The Greek army Of 10000 men in
Asia Minor, Macedonia and Thrase is
costing 100000 monthly. 1t is real
lied that this expenditure cannot be
kept up indefinitely.
The steadily increasing cost of liv.
ing, the continued calling to the col.
ors Of bread-winning families and the
failure Of the government to secure
financial assistance aborad are caus.
ing financial discomfort among the
~populace generally, who are war-weary
after ten years Of almost continuous
strife.
The feeling seems to prevail
that the government has been driven
to a desperate expedient, and a ma.
jority of the people apparently are dis
posed to Loyalty support it.

GROW DOG SAY HE coME"-
WAS READY TO DIE
! ~ ELMO o WATSON
Copyright, 1922, Western ~NewspaIet Uni

VXTHEN Spotted Tail, backed By
w the military whom he had aid
ed, usurped the head chieftainship OF
the Brule Sioux, his high-handed act
vas bitterly resented. Chief Crow Dog
(kangi Sunka) took a vow to kill the
head chief If ever he disgraced the
name of the Sichangu (Brules).
Years passed Spotted Tall, drunk
with power, misused his high Office for
personal ends. His people murmured
but were pOwerless. Then he coveted
the wife of Medicine Bear and, cOvet-
Ing, took her. Grow Dog, a relative
Of Medicine Bear, remembered his
VOW. On August 5, 1881, he met Spot
ted Tail and shot him dead, after
which he gave himself up.
He was tried at Deadwood. 8. D.,
convicted Of murder and sentenced to
be hanged. Grow Dog asked permits
sion to say farewell to his family,
promising to return on the day set
for the execution.
When Grow Dog did not show up the
next day, Indian police were dispatched
to get him. He was not at home and
his wife told them that the chief had
wished to return to prison alone and
would surely keep his promise. The
next day the chief walked into the
Jail at Rapid City. "Crow Dog say
he come" was his laconic reply to
the surprised greeting of his jailer.
Meanwhile efforts We're being made
to save his life by a stay Of execution.
His case was carried to the Supreme
court Of the United States which ruled
that the federal courts had no jurisdic-
ton over crime committed by one
Indian against another on q reServa-
ton. SO Crow Dog walked out Of
prison a free man.
Ten years later Crow Dog was In
the limelight again, as II Of the
Brule leaders who fled from the Rose
bud agency during the Ghost Dance
SiuAC " JUN thC OSuiiuiuo Ill lLC Duu
Lands. The Brule chief was soon on
vinced that their cause was hopeless
and he counselled surrender.
But the irreconcilables were still
eager for war. They caught up their
rifles and threatened to shoot those
who wavered. Seeing this Crow Dog
drew his blanket over his head. II
do not wish to know who would be
guilty of Staying a brother Dakota"
he said. His words so impressed the
warriors that civil wal was averted
and the hostiles sullenly filed into the
agency to surrender.
1t was Crow Dogs last war trail.
From that day he lived In peace on
the Rosebud reservation until his
death August II, 1912.
