With three of the best-known
wheat counties of the state IN his
district, Congressman Robert G. SIM
mons of the Big Sixth was much In
terested when he plunged today into
the Omaha movement to double the
tariff on imports of wheat in order
to protect the farmers. 1.-The Amer
lean farmer is entitled to equal pro-
lection. the same as the other indus
tries of the country" he said. THE
farmers have the right to try this
out IL they wish.'
Kimball, Cheyenne and Duell coun-
ties are regions of big wheat farm
ing. During the war Cheyenne coun-
ty shipped more of this grain than
any other county in Nebraska. Lots
of my constituents are raising wheat.
and it would be only fair to give them
a profit on their labor and capital
invested" the congressman said.
Senator Howell has endorsed the
proposal" he continued. If this
method will bring an increase in price
to the wheat grower, then by all
means 1t should be favored. l have
just seen newspaper comments re-
garding the proposal to double the
tariff on the importation of wheat.
This is based on the assumption that
the American crop does not exceed
the demands for consumption In the
United States.
"I can see no place where 1t can
result in harm. It seems to present
fair opportunity to try out the
executives power to adjust tariff
rates; also to determine whether a
tariff on wheat will favorably affect
the price in the United States.
THE wheat farmer faces a condi-
ton which, SO far as this crop is
concerned, can not be adequately met
by new legislation. Neither can 1t bit
met by plans for diversified farming
nor by a limitation of production

Senate Must Co.,
Says Author of
One-HOuse Plan
Otto Mutz Claims 1000 Names
on Petition-Makes Heat
ed Reply to Cover
nor's Attack.

Lincoln, Sept. 21.-Formen state
Senator Otto Mutz, father of the one
house initiative petitions, reported to-
day that he had obtained signotures of
/ 900 In Lincoln and vicinity to his
petitions D. M. Amsberry. former
secretary of state, has been chosen as
chairman Of the one-house committee.
Mutz today made heated reply TO
the criticisms of Governor Bryan on
his plan. He said in part:
"Just when did Governor Bryan as
sumo the role of a compromiser is not
disclosed in his pacific discussion of
the single house Legislature. but IL he
thinks the minds of the Nebraska
taxpayers can forget so soon the poll
tical chickering's of the men who
were elected on a promise to reduce
taxes and then spent an entire ses-
sion standing guard over political
spoils, and the party that should get
them, he is misjudging the temper OF
Nebraska voters.
Everybody promised reform and
tax reduction before election. and the
promise was either forgotten. or the
contending forces were unable to real
ize on their promises while the politi-
cal battle was going on. History must
record that every promise failed and
the people paid the bills.
''The senote must be abolished. II
has represented special interests of
tene. than it has represented the peo-
pie. It has always contained men
who were above suspicion, but 1t has
always been said: Watch the senate.
THE two.house system of legisla-
ton is a relic of England. They had
house of lords and a house of COM
mons. The business OF the house OF
lords was to protect the royalty from
the house of commons.
This nation has no royalty. II
will never have. Whether 1t Is a
fact that the senate has looked after
interests of our rich men or not, 1t Is
go charged, and to relieve the minds
of the people they must furnish evil
dpuce."

G.. @. P. Leaders Con-
fer ON Move.
First Change in Cabinet

Washington. Sept. 21.-Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt of oyster Bay, n. u
soon will become secretary OF the
navy. marking the first change In
the Harding cabinet under the ad.
| ministratio nof President Coolidge, II
present plans are carried out.
Edwin DENLY of Michigan, at pres
ent secretary of the navy, has ex-
pressed a desire to retire. Young
Roosevelt, now assistant secretary OF
the navy, Is President Coolidge's own
choice as Denby's successor.
To ascertain II the plan Is accept
able to the New York state repub-
! lican organization, with which Roose-
velt Is closely identified, President
Coolidge today called into conference
at the White House Senator James
w. Wadsworth, Charles ID. Hilles,
New York republican national COM
mitteeman; George K. Morris, New
York republican state chairman, and
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt.
HiIles Luncheon Guest.
The conference lasted for three
quarters of an hour. 1t was followed
at the luncheon by another confer
ence between the president and Ma
tional Committeeman Hilles, who was
the presidents luncheon guest.
Todays' conferences were preceded
by a visit to the White House yes
terday of Senator Wadsworth and
William Barnes of Albany. former
New York state republican boss. ="
Barnes returned to New York last
night. Hilles. Morris and Wadsworth
went back tonight.
The plan carries with It the ap
pointment of Secretary DENLY to an
other post in keeping with the dignity
and position of one who has occupied
cabinet portfolio. 1t is understood.
however, that the selection of this
new assignment has not been definite.
ly determined.
Anxious to Retire.
Some months ago, before President
Harding LETT Washington en- mis- west
ern trip. II was reported that Secre-
tary DENLY was desirous of giving
up his cabinet place.
DENLY IL not a man Of wealth. The
$1,000 a year salary as q cabinet
officer is hardly sufficient to main
tai ma cabinet officer In the official
and social position in which he must
move. That is said to be another
considerable min his desire to retire.
II is doubtful IL any assistant to
cabinet officer has had more
active part In the actual administra-
ton of a department as young Roose-
welt has had with the navy. During
the months that Secretary DENLY
was on his trip to Japan last year.
and while he was absent from Wash
ington for tn enavsl maneuvers off
Panama this year. Roosevelt was act
ing secretary. And when the secre-
tary has been here, Roosevelt has
taken active leadership In naval af-
fairs. being very largely responsible
for the safe conduct of naval legisla-
ton throuhg congress and In other
activities.

possible.

Canada. A great deal Of Canadian
wheat is moving into this country
and with claims being freely made
that there will be a great deal more

wheat from the present prices.
"The press is full Of conferences
in Washington with a view OF help

seems to me that action should be
taken where possible and that at

waiting for congress or too many

Rv MARK SULLIVAN.

Washington, Sept. 21.-AH the CAP
met discussions and the many con
ferences President Coolidge Is having
with individuals, recognize that the
farmer is the country's great prob
lem. The administration is giving
more time to this than to any one
other question. Not only Is Secretary
Wallace kept busy on survey being
made at President Coolidge's request
but more than one other cabinet
member are giving their time to 1t.
individuals and delegations have
been summoned from other parts OF
the country to confer in Washington
on it, and members Of the cabinet
are to be sent out to hold regional
conferences where the question Is
most acute. All this Is for the pur'
pose of first getting the facts com
pletely and then recommending a
program.
The concrete program Is the I'm
portant thing and the difficult thing.
Your correspondent has talked with
several persons who are busy on It,

Wheat Grower Hit Hardest
But nothing for the immediate fu
ture is yet in sight. The most acute
sufferer is the raiser Of wheat. His
specific troubles are due to factors
pretty difficult for any agency Of the
federal government to control.
The Canadian crop is about 450,'
OOO, 900 bushels That is more than
half the United States crop. And
this Canadian crop is raised by a
population of less than 10,0O0,000
less than 9 per cent of American
population. Turning it around and
looking at it from the point OF view
of consumption 1t Is evident that an
Overwhelming proportion of this
Canadian crop is going to be sold In
the markets of the world at low
price In competition with the United
States crop. There Is some fear that
this Canadian competition may be
permanent.
1t may be that the Canadian wheat
uu6armer is now going to do to our Mis-
sissippi valley wheat raiser what he
himself did a generation ago to the
wheat raisers il New England and the
east. 1t may be that the wheat
raising industry is going to migrate
from the Mississippi valley over to
Canada.
Farnins Cheaper in Canada
The conditions are more favorable
in Canada. The Canadian farmer is
much less heavily taxed than our
