Hopes From Farm Conference.

Membership In the national agrlcul.
tural conference which has closed It's
session I'm Washington was nonpar-
tisan In It's character. The govern
ment officials hope that the recommen-
dations made by the conference will
bear the fruit intended and that eco
nomic conditions In the agricultural
industry may he improved to the sat
isfaction of every man whose livinl
comes from the soil.
OF course the hope for results goes
far beyond the one thought of prosper
ity for the farmer. Ii includes desire
that all affiliated industries shall pros
per, and that agriculture. fundamen-
tally the most important industry, shall
prove to be not only It's own upbuilder
but the upbuilder Of all other business
structures with which II has direct or
indirect relations.
The call for the conference was
voiced by Secretary Wallace Of the De-
partment of Agriculture. He told the
administration Of the necessity for
such a conference. but the chances are
that the President had felt the neces-
sity aforetime. Agriculture has been
a source of worry to the qtepubllcans
ever since they came into full power
In the government.
Representative Sydney Anderson of
Minnesota is the chairman of the con-
gressional joint commission Of agricu'-
tural inquiry. In speaking to the rep
resentatlves at the conference he said
there never has been time when there
was more public misunderstanding OF
what has been done and what II Is pos
sible to do to meet the agricultural sit
uation than there is today. This In eff
feet was the opening sentence OF Mr.
Anderson's address. Ii expressed
simple truth which everybody knows,
and the conference was called to clear
up the situation which he outlined.
Sectional Suspicion in Congress.
There can be no hiding the fact shat
the Republicans hope that out OF this
conference something will come which
may help to solve the agricultural

gress. There never was exactly the
same kind of a situation In house and
senate AS exists there today. The east.
ern Republican suggests something and
cannot get even momentary considera-
ton for 1t, because instantly II is sus-
pected that because the proposer Is
from the East his proposal can have
no good in IL. The thing can be taken
In reverse, for If middle westerner
affiliated with or sympathetic with the
so-called farmers bloc. shall make
proposal, the East is suspicious Of II
because il comes from Il man whose
outlook is over a part Of the Mlssis-
sippi valley.

ricultural conference represented all

The pine trees rave and roar

parts of the country. but the difficulty
is that the interests are conflicting. In
way the conference represented the
various thoughts ON agricultural prob.
lens that are being voiced In house
and senate. the thoughts Of men who
look at things from different geograph.
ical viewpoints.
This conference was called To find
some means to increase the money In.
come of the farmers Of the United
States The small farmer Is making
less money than the laboring man In
big city who happens TO be employed.
Something must he done To give the
farmer fair reward for his labor, for
his risks and for his willingness To re-
main farmer. for II he quits his job
the country will starve.
Farmers Growing Indignant
In 1870 1t is said that the farmer
received for his labor and for his risks,
and for everything else which men.
tally or physically he put into his work,
less than one-half US much as he re-
ceived eight years ago. Washington
knows there is Impotence, anxiety and
good deal of indignation In the farm
houses of the country.
II Is easy enough TO understand the
why's and wherefores of the farmers
bloc In the United States senate. To
day they are trying to compromise
matters between the so-called bloc and
the rest Of the Republicans In the sen.
ate. Whether or not anything good can
come out of the compromise naturally
enough remains to be seen. but there
is u hope in the legislative halls that
the conference may develop something
which will remedy affairs. The Repub-
licnns hope that the situation in the
senate which Is causing the Repub-
lican party much concern also may be
remedied.

Observation-Disclosures for seats
In the United States senate in a num-
Der Of states already have begun. Sew
eral senators whose terms of office
expire next March are taking leaves
of absence In order to start campaign
work In their bailiwicks
II is possible that the sharpest in
terest, so far as Washington Is con-
cerned, centers In the senatorial cam
paigns In Ohio. Indiana and North
Dakota. In Indiana the two Republi-
cans who probably will contest for
senatorial nomination in the primaries
which are to be held in May are a
present senator, Harry S. New, and
former senator, Albert J. Beveridge.
Mr.. Beveridge has been making
speeches on non-political subjects for
some time and therefore has kept him
self well before the people. Senator
New has been one of the close sup
porters of the present administration,
which, while not saying so, is supposed
TO be in sympathy with his desire to
succeed himself.
Washington gossip has 1t that the
Indiana Democrats will nominate
Thomas X. Marshall, former vice pres
ident Of the United States, to contest
the senatorial election with whichever
of the two Republican candidates man
ages to win out In the primaries. II
further is said that II Mr.. Marshall
shall succeed In beating hs Republi-
can opponent for the senate, a cam
paign will be started at once by some
politically strong Democratic elements
TO secure for Mr.. Marshall the party's
nomination for the presidency in 1924.
Ohio Campaign Is interesting.
The Ohio senatorial campaign will
be watched with good deal of inter-
est by the President of the United
States. There are three Republicans
who, II is said, are quite anxious to
secure their party's nomination In or
der to enter the lists against the Demo
cratic candidate. In the senate today

Ohio has one Democratic and one Re.
publican senator. The term of the
former. Mr.. Pomerene, will expire next
March. He hopes TO succeed himself
The main campaign issues have not
yet framed themselves. but Mr.. Pome-
rene. IL Is said, will make use Of an
issue which is said to have been of
service to him once before-large
campaign expenditure.
Representative In congress, Simeon
u. Fess, who has been reelected chair
man of the Republican congressional
campaign committee, is certain to be
a candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation In Ohio for the senate. II Is
limited that Walter F. Brown, who In
1912 managed the Bull Moose cam
paign of Theodore Roosevelt In Ohio,
possibly may be a second candidate
Mr.. Brown, who supported President
Harding In the last campaign, was
appointed by him as chairman Of the
committee which has In hand the work
of reorganizlng the federal govern
ment departments
1t is held possible In Washington
that Nicholas Longworth Of Cincinnati
may be third candidate for the SEN
ate In the Republican primaries. He
is a son-in.aw of the late Theodore
Roosevelt and there are those In Wash
ington who think that Mr.. Longworth,
II he does not withdraw from the con.
test. may give his opponents some
trouble.
Gronna May Oppose Mecumber.
In North Dakota Senator Porter ].
McCumber will strive TO retain his
seat In the United States senate.
Washington does not seem to be def
nitely fixed in its mind yet as to the
most likely Republican opponent that
Mr.. McCumber must meet, but 1t Is
supposed to be A. J. Gronna. who has
served In the senate before this time.
Senator McCumber recently was
chosen by the Republicans of the SEN
ate to succeed Boies Penrose as chair
man of the committee on finance. This
is powerful post and as Republicans
In Washington view II the fact Of its
power will not be lost on the voters of
North Dakota.
Henry Cabot Lodge, who has been
In the senate for so many years that
many men have forgotten when he
came here, must stand for reelection
next fall. IL Is said that Mr. Lodge is
not worrying much about the out
come.
Other states In which senatorial cleo
tions are to be held are: Arizona,
California. Connecticut, Delaware,
Maine. Maryland. Michigan, Mime
sofa, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska,
Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New
York, Pennsylvania. Rhode Island,
Tennessee. Texas, Utah. Vermont, Vir-
ginia, Washington. West Virginia, Wis

COMMITTEES, declared today In state
ment issued in connection with the
anniversary of national prohibition.
HWets have been "overwh elminEly
defeated" at every appearance in the
courts while congress has defeated
their efforts to bring back beer and

authorities have combined against the

'"The joke turned" Mr.. iHinshaw
says. upon the half hundred anti

capitalize the waning appetites of old
soaks who still CRY for their booze.
Prohibition is here to stay. The evo-
luton of nation tightening Its pro-

experience Of thirty-four states Of
the union which went a-y before the
advent Of national prohibition.
"Only over the United States brew

Eliminated.

Washington, Jan. 16.-With the
provisions objected to by Secretary
Mellon eliminated. the Allied foreign
debt refundinE bill was favorably re-
ported today to the senate by it's

Almost In Original Form.
Except for a provision that the re-
funded bonds to be accepted from the

virtually is in the form in which it
was passed by the house last October.
1t proposes a commission of five to

which the secretary Of the treasury
would be chairman. The other four
members would be appointed by the
president "by and with the consent
Of the senate"
Provisions previously written into
the measure by the committee and
eliminated today, would have pro-
vided that interest payments be made
|semi-annually' and that the rate of
interest, be not less than five per cent.
{ AS Z forecast by Chairman Nc
CumberE last week. no soldiers bonus
provision was added to the bill.

with the killing of Marie Wick. aged
18. of Grygla, Mimi. in Fargo hotel

vian-Amertcan bank of Fargo, who oc-
cupied the room next to that of the
unfortunate girl on the night of the
MURDER, has been called from Seattle,
Wash. to Be witness at the trial on
behalf of the state. 1t is understood
that he has already left Seattle for

murder, was to be taken to Valley

that no sone but GUNNER could have
