GOOD REASON FOR NOT FEEDING TRAMps

BACK in Ashley Ind, where used to live members
high school debated whether it was right to feed
tramps The verbal and waged
hot till who the negative side exclaimed "We
didn't vote the Republican ticket why should feed
tramps?"
This argument could not be and the negative
side won But while this argument the debater,
cannot be applied wholly to existing circumst ances.
Even some of did the Republican ticket we
help of the tramps the Republican admin
stration made
Possibly if could turn all tramps to be taken
of by those who made them, it would be good les
them but then, again, if Republicans had feed
all their tramps it would annhilate the Republican
party, and that wouldn't do for need political
parties. Guess we'll have to continue to help feed the
Republican made tramps-Walsenburg Independent

begins to protest against unjust tariff

is full of injustice. The rates are un-
high--perhaps outrage-

were secured by trading. The con-

supported the congressman from the
sugar-making states and the cutlery
manufacturing states and the pottery
states, and they gave a lot Of special

the bloc gathered up the citrus-grow-

thousands of democrats and near indepen-

establishing the phenomenal seven-million
plurality by which the republican presiden-
tial ticket won, and the other thousands

for instance. The first thing the republi-
cans did when they came into power was
to enact special legislation for the farmers
who at the time were undoubtedly in bad
straits Chairman Adams claims that "Con-
gress found agriculture facing ruin and as
sisted it on its feet by the relief enactment
of series of laws which afforded both tenn
porary and permanent relief to the agricul-
tural interests"
The democratic national chairman meets
that claim with the charge that the>so-called
farmers emergency tariff bill enacted in
Nav, 1921, resulted "in wheat going from
$l4 to below $l00 per bushel and corn in
proportion, while the purchasing power of
farm products went to lower level than It
has been within fifteen years, where it still
remains"
Both party managements are aware that
conditions in the grain belt are bad at this
time and include such corn-growing states
as Ohio, Indiana and Illinois as we'll as the
wheat states of the west. The democrats
,allege that the new tariff law will further
increase the cost of things that the farmer
has to buy and that he will become more and
more aware of the gap between the dollar
he receives for his products and the dollar
he must spend for his necessities.
The farmer vote has been the backbone
of the republican party for many years, as
labor has so often trailed off with the demo-
Gratis, except in times of acute industrial
depression laid to tac account Of democratic
tariff laws. Independent observations in
states of the middle west have substantiated
the assertions that the farmer vote is be-
coming more independent and is not SO
closely bourd to party ties as in the past.
The farmer, if he is fair minded, must give
the present administration credit for efforts
attempted in his behalf. But, the question

The voters are assured of lively session
with the campaigners. Their heads will
probably be in whirl if they listen to the
exhortations of the propagandists of both
parties, unless the countrys "eyes are al
ready set" Take the claims and assevera-
tions of the OPPOSING chiefs of the republic
can and democratic national organizations.
Thus asserts Chairman Cordell Hull OF
the democratic national committee: NO
previous Congress has been SO generally
condemned by leading citizens, irrespective
of party, on account of its utter lack OF
constructive ability, craftsmanship and
fidelity to the American people. No other
Congress SO signally failed to grasp great
opportunities or:to meet important respon-
sibilities. Hundreds of patriotic republican
newspapers and thousands of leading, broad
minded republican individuals are voluntary
witnesses TO the truth of these statements"
Chairman John 7. Adams OF the republl-
can national committee, after reciting the
achievements in legislation of the sessions,
puts forward this claim: mo Congress in
time of apeace ever made such a splendid
record Of constructive legislation.

On What Republican Congress Has Done

is will the farmer appreciate the attempt
as he visualizes actual conditions that con-
front him in market prices, going and
coming?
There is said to be considerable anxiety
among republican candidates for Senate
and House over the probable effect of the
strikes and the government injunction
against the railway strikers on the labor
vote. 1t is thought to be too early to csti-
mate closely, although at first blush, the
supposition is that labor is leaning against
the republicans on this count. The disposiz-
ton of many republican candidates is
thought to be to mark off as a prospective
dead loss a proportion of radical labor
thought and to appeal to what is left on
straight party lines, taking their chances on
the result. The so-called farmer-labor-
socialist movement is being watched very
closely by republican candidates in some
states. On the whole, no important results
have thus far been traced to this effort,
except to swell the vote in the primaries
for candidates supported by the movement,
but who, it is estimated, would have won
anyhow. =
What effect will the bonus veto have on
congressional candidates? There is the
prevailing belief, it can be stated with. conf
dence, that the majority sentiment of the
citizenship, outside of the service men, sus-
tains the Presidents veto. How, then, it
may be asked, will that belief react upon
candidates for Congress who voted to over
ride the veto? Will the people rebuke their
candidates for having voted for the bonus
bill? The answer formulated by most is
that they will not do SO, the psychology of it
being that the legislation was not enacted
into law, and that the whole proposition is
water that has gone over the wheel.
1t is expected that the service men and
their sympathizers will vent their wrath
upon candidates who voted against the
bonus and who voted to sustain the veto,
but that is a chance those statesmen took.
There are not enough of them in that class
to swing the majority in the House.
Republican managers are confident that
they will not lose the House of Representa-
tives, and of course, not lose control of the
Senate. Independent political opinion of
weight is said to estimate that the republi-
cans may lose fifty to ffty-hve members of
the House. That would still leave a COM
Portable wofsing majority, and many people
think it might not be bad thing for the
party in Congress and for the country.

ductiye scapacity of number OF the

and alarm is. found in the fact that
offe,a Of the largest American pro-
ducers is opening mill In Canada.
ALI this seems to indicate pretty
strongly that eventually this large
and indispensable industry Will be
moved into Canada
The chief trouble is that the Ameri-
can supply of pulp wood is inadequate
in the region where it must be manu-
factured to meet Canadian competi-
tion-in the eastern and lake states.
To meet this condition a survey of
American resources in wood pulp and
a definite program for reforestrat1on
in the eastern and lake states is being
pushed. Reforestration, however. can
not overcome the immediate difficult
ties, as it would take many years to
put the United States on a self-supply-
ing basis.
It would, perhaps, be impossible for
any one to make a definite statement
as to the total American resources OF
wood pulp. About 30 per cent OF the
new spring manufacturing industry Is
in New England, so per cent in New
York. and Is per cent in the lake
regions. In this district, as. whole.
the annual cut of pulp wood greatly
exceeds the forest growth.
In other words, in this district there
are mills without forests, whereas in
the western states and Alaska there
are forests, with practically un-
limited supply, without adequate pro-
duction facilities. Cost of transporta-
tionfprohibits bringing western pulp
wood to eastern mills.
Naturally. the news print industry
will be expanded in the western ter
ritory, but the principal consumers
are in the east and middle west and
look for their supplies to eastern
mills. Western mills cannot compete
with. eastern Canadian mills because
