One Of the remarks made by
s. L. Allen. the Farm Bureau
speaker at Askov last week
struck the nail on the head and
- worth bordering over. Mr.
Allen said that in his travels and
observations he had noticed that
the man who reads and studies
the least is as a rule the quickes,
TO give an opinion and be sure
that he is right. whereas the stu.
dious man and thinker~-the one
who studies a question from al
angles with the desire to get the
truth and not be governed by
sentiment and appeals to emotion
is more reluctant in giving an
opinion; he is not always so sure
that he is absolutely right. The
remark carries some weight a:
Mr.. Allen is a man Of experience
and well up in years.

Askov, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
This department is grateful for
your editorial on the Highway
Bonds. IL was SO temperate and
tolerant that it would have been
little more appreciated if it gave
full Endorsement to the pro-
gram.
The same mail brought one by
Mr.. Burgess of the Clara City
Herald, who said the Herald at
first was inclined to oppose the
bond proposal but after reading
up on the subject believed it a
good proposition and declared in
favor Of it. So in the most
friendly spirit We are taking the
liberty of answering some of the
suggestions you offer in the
American. thinking perhaps that
il viewed from a standpoint only
slightly different you would see
the proposals in another light.
You probably will agree that
there are some roads in Pine
county which should have been
improved several years ago.
They were not. however, and the
improvements are being paid for
out Of current funds now when
taxes are much higher. Also,
some Of these new roads will
serve more in 1925 and 1880 and
even 1850 than today. yet perma-
nent improvements are being
made on them out of 1928 cur

high peak now, isn't there every

WASHINGTON, June 14.-Specula- tion is rife here as to the possible at titude of the administration on Henry Ford's offer to take over the Muscle Shoals project. Although the House Military Affairs Committee has sub mitted three bills, the majority re- port recommending Ford's offer with the Gorgas steam plant eliminated, another recommending acceptance Of Ford's offer in toto, and the third or fering many and sundry notifications and amendments to Ford's proposi- tion, nobody has been able to learn which one of the three bills is ap- proved by the President, if any Hard ing has declared hand-off policy

Extra Session Of Congress
 Unless Ship BiU Is Passed

WASHINGTON, June 14.-Presi- dent Harding yesterday notified Chairman Campbell of the House Committee on Rules, that unless the Ship Subsidy Bill was passed before the adjournment of the present session, he would feel obliged to call a special m ession of congress solely for the pur-
 ose of it's consideration. The Pres dent urged the importance of the legislation if congress wished to keep the American merchant, marine vital force on the seven seas, and declared that it's paramount connec- tion with American commerce was so important, that the results would be disastrous to the continued pros perity of the country, should con- gress fail to act expeditiously.

SOLDIERS BONUS BILL TO COME
 AFTER TARIFF

WASHINGTON, June 14-It is def initely known that the plan of Sen ator McCumber of North Dakota, chair man of the Senate Finance Commit tee, to enforce early consideration of the Soldiers Bonus Bill, will meet with the determined opposition of the senate Republican leaders. Such early consideration would mean the sidetracking of the tariff bill, and the latter measure is considered more i'm portant to the country as whole. This attiture was reflected in the speech of Senator Lodge at Spring field, Mass, this week, when he de- clared that the party would expedite the tariff bill by all possible means. The White House statement just is sued to the effect that the President regards the tariff legislation as the most important piece of business be- fore Congress, has given the death blow to McCumber's hopes.

BOOZE VENDORS OF VANCOUVER

VANCOUVER, B. C.. June 1.-The liuuor dealers of this city are much worried over the effect on their busi- ness of the budget resolution intro duced in Ottawa yesterday before the Dominion parliament, requiring all persons shipping liquor for export to furnish a guarantee that such liquor will reach it's destination.
 The resolution is regarded as being sure to pass. Under it's terms all ex- porters of liquor will have to provide a guaranty of thirty-five dollars per case that liquor so shipped will be delivered as billed. It is an open secret here that great quantities Of liquor shipped from this port and other British Columbia points, on bills Of lading calling for delivery in Mexico and other Central and South Ameri- can countries, mysteriously finds it's way into the coast states of Oregon, Washington and California.

WiU Not Interfere M Coal
 Strike, Says Pres. Harding

WASHINGTON, June 14.-Rumors continue to gain currency here that the administration is planning to in tervene ill the coal strike. The far sighted among the political leaders are worrying about the effect on the fall elections should the strike continue until an actual shortage makes itself felt. So far the reserve supplies have been sufficient to prevent any hard ship but this source is melting away as the weeks pass, and no end of the strike in view. The action of the gov ernment. through the Department of Commerce, in regulating, a fixed price of coal at the mine mouths is by ob- servers declared to be a forerunner of further governmental activity. Nevertheless the White House says no to all questions on the subject Again today it was announced that the Presi- dent was contemplating no important immediate or drastic action in the con- troversy.

judicial legislation" He declared that the federal courts were the worst offenders in this regard, and charged that they had "by a process of grad ual encroachments wrested the sov- ereignty from the people where it be- longed.' He proposed the adoption of constitutional amendment denying the power of the lower courts to de- clare any federal law unconstitutional, and providing that when the U s. Su- preme Court made any ruling nullify- ing an act of Congress, that Congress should have the power to insist upon the statute remaining a law of the land, by re-enacting it.
 LaFollette also referred to the re- cent decision of the Supreme Court holding the federal child labor law un- constitutional as an instance of where the conservatism of the courts was blocking the wheels of industrial and social progress. After the conclusion of the senator's address, the conven- tion again raised it's united voice against child labor, and approved a con- stitutional amendment to obviate the situation which led the Supreme Court to decide as it did regarding the old law Practically all the days speeches after the conclusion of LaFollette's talk were devoted to the child labor problem. and the consideration of it was coupled with an observance of Flag Day, a special program being car ried out in honor of the day. During the latter program, the Cincinnati Central Labor Union presented Presi- dent Samuel Gompers with beautiful silk American flag The president ac- cepted the gift in an eloquent re- spense, pledging the association to stand for those things for which the flag stood, and squarely placing the labor movement upon the solid pedes- tai of Americanism. The presidents remarks were received with great en- thusiasm.

Prmatchenk, who claimed that he had caused the great explosion in Halifax Harbor late in 1917, when three ships heavily laden with ammunition bound for the British forces in Europe, were blown up with great loss of life and tremendous property destruction. J. R. Cox, a mine watchman declares that Johnson confessed his guilt to him. A few weeks after the date of the alleged confession Johnson con- mitted suicide. His body was found in a lonely spot in Skagit County, Washington. Cox states that John son also claimed to have been re- sponsible for the murder of the cap- tain of British ship while en route from Australia to Canada.

While nothing official has been given out by the committee it is understood on reliable authority, that the com mittee will urge that the tax on gaso- line be increased from one to three cents per gallon, that the filing fees for automobiles and motor trucks of all kinds be enlarged, and that the pres- ent exemption of autos from taxation as personal property be done away with. Whether the committee will make any recommendation regarding the poll tax or the sales tax is un- certain, but unlikely.
