FARM BUREAU LEADER
s.C0NFERS WITH HARDING

The best means of making inn
mediate improvement in agricultur-
al credit facilities, and the argu-
ments for and against the merchant
marine legislation now pending: in
congress, were threshed out at a
conference in the White House, from
which J. F. Reed, president Of the
has Just returned. ~;
The conference followed dinner
at the White House at which the
presidents guests included Mr.. Reed
Senator Capper. leader of the senate
farm bloc, ChaHes S. Barrett, pres
idennt of the Natiopall Farmers I'm
ion, and the Presidents Of che state
Farm Bureau celebrations Of Iowa,
South Dakota, Kansas, MISSOURI, and d
Ohio. .ggss4.s ~, 1872 ,' - -
"President Harding said the pub
lie mind was convinced that >agri-
culture must have improved credit
facilities" Mr.. Reed said on his re-
turn. "The various bills pending in
congress were discussed,
"The ship subsidy bill was also
discussed. There is one thing certain
about the so-called subsidy to aid
in the establishment of an Ameri-
can merchant marine, and that is
that it is a subject that every Min
nesota farmer should study thor
oughly. 1t is so big and important
a question that every farmer should
analyze it and understand it thor
oughly before he makes up his mind
about it."

Transportation System Today
Feeling. Effects Of. Mine
and Shopman Strike
CONDITIONS BECOMING :
MORE SEVERE EACH DAY
Aircraft and Motor Trucks
- May Be Pressed Into General
Service at Once
(By United prose)

Washington, July 13 (By James I.
Kolbert) benumbing effect Of
he two great strikes made itself
I, It in the nations transportation
\ an today, according to reports
8. ing President Harding.
(. trains in large numbers are
b. .thdrawn from service daily,
the reports revealed. The strike of
railroad shopmen is responsible for
conditions in the east, while scarcity
of fuel is factor in the west.
President Harding was receiving
confidential reports from all mines.
Reports compiled today indicate that
the condition daily is becoming more
severe.
"A creeping paralysis" according
to one official, "is in progress If
the same rate of progress continues
for two weeks more industries in
general will receive a severe blow,
it was said. In the meantime the
postoffice department is quietly
pushing plans to prevent democrat
ization of mail. "A vast fleet of air.
craft, motor trucks and automobiles
will be pressed into service In event
of breakdown of railroad trans
portation. If these trucks cannot
meet the demand the war department
will be called on. If the combined
equipment of these two departments
prove insufficient it is planned to
enter into a contract with private
concerns.
The postoffice department now
operates mail truck service at
points isolated by the strike. Mean
while administration officials stated
that federal troops will be used as
only the last resort. Local authori-
ties will have the first task OF
maintaining order. If they cannot
cope with the situation, state troops
will be called out.

FILlPlNos LAMPooN WOOD
 ON POSTERS STUCK UP IN CITY

MANILA, July Ex-Governor Gener- al Wood is vigorously cartooned in some of the eleventh hour posters is sued in the campaign here. They not only attack him individually but are intended to show an American prede- lection for a democratic victory. In one poster General Wood is represent ed as crushing the life out of Juan de la Cruz" meaning the Filipinos.
 Another poster shows all the demo- cratic nominees paying homage to General Wood as to god. The whole tone of these and other cartoons inn plies that whoever is for General Wood is disloyal to the Filipino re- public.

SEWARD is the only incorporated town in Alaska which can boast of a woman councilman; as well as a wom- man clerk and magistrate. That the ladies are becoming increasingly i'm portant in civic affairs is shown by the improved condition of the streets and public parks, in towns where they interest themselves in civic welfare. The old unsightly ash piles, tin cans and broken bottles have disappeared and evidences of thrift and neatness are to be seen on every hand. Woman's interest in civic affairs have invaria- bly resulted in their betterment It has been demonstrated time and again in outside cities that the election Of women to public office resulted in a cleaning up of political cesspools and abolition of corruption of all kinds. The modern woman has fitted herself to keep pace with the men; in few years they will have passed him.

CAN'T BE TIED UP

THE present membership of the American Federation of Labor is 3,195,OO0. Last year it was 3,9O6,OO0, indicating a drop of 711,000 members since the last convention. It would be interesting to know how much of that decline is due to MT. Gomper's radical leadership. The ranks of union labor are too intelligent to accept without question their leaders denunciation of the Supreme Court, his condemnation of President Harding, and his effort to deliver the labor vote. Independent thought is a distinctly American char acteristic. and no self-respecting citi- zen will turn Bolshevik because some man tells him to do so.

gently made by Senator Port?r j. ,ic- Cumber, chairman of the finance con- mittee. Senator McCumber's list is an expose of the unconscionable prof. it's made by importers. For the sake of brevity a few only are quoted, showing the cost abroad, the selling price here and the percentage of profit to the importer:
 A bead bag which cost 10 cents In Berlin; sold for $15 here; profit 14,- 900 per cent.
 Cuckoo Clocks, cost abroad 94 cts; sold here for $22; profit 224O per cent
 Razors, cost abroad 21 cents; sold by importer at $5; per cent profit Is 22S1; Thermos bottles, cost 10 cents; sold 75c; profit $50 per cent.
 Carving sets cost $1.S6; sold for S15; profit 7O6; jackknives, cost 5S C.; sold 2.5O; profit 400.
 Electric flatirons, cost 59c; sell for S11; per cent profit 1864
 The present campaign against the tariff comes mostly from the big cities where the importers have paiG propa- gandists to dominate the public and the press.
 The information as to the foreign cost of some two or three hundred ar ticles, including the above named was secured through the customs branch of the Treasury department. These same articles were then purchased from the stores importing them and receipts taken for the purchase price. Every article was examined and iden- tified by the customs appraiser. IheI tale which they set forth of an impor- ters' combination to sting the buying public should be enough to discredit| anti-tariff propaganda for all time. lnI every instance they could well afford to pay the duty contemplated by theI pending tariff bill and still make inor- dinate profits.

SUPREME
COURT DECIDES
ACT UNLAWF Ill
Chapter 40 of Arizona SEES
sion Laws Of 1915 Ruled
Out as Defective

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 23.-Chap-
ter 40 of the Arizona session laws
of 1915, so far as it IS intended to
authorize the formation of power ir-
rigation districts, is unconstitutional,
the state supreme court ruled today.
The ruling is contained in an opi1-
ion handed down affirming the Judge
ment of the superior court of Pinal
county which recently issued per-
manent restraining order enjoining
the board of directors of Pinal coun-
ty electrical district number one and
the board of supervisors and direc-
tors of Pinal county from issuing
or selling 100000 in bonds for the
construction OF an electric power
irrigation district in the county.
TIL district was organized under
the provisions of chapter 40.
The supreme court opinion was
written by chief Justice Henry d.
Ross, Justices McAlister and Flani'
gan cOncurring.
Chapter 40 is defective in that 1t
contains no provision for notice on
the land owners in the district, nor
for hearing whereat the question OF
benefits may be determined, the
supreme court ruled.
The suit was brought in the Pinal
county superior court by George W.
Burgess and Frank Gilbert as tax
payers and owners of real property
on behalf of themselves and others
similarly situated in the county.
The plaintiffs petitioned the court
to isue an enjoining order prevent
ing the county officials and the Of
ficials of the electrical district from
