WHITE HOUSE
KEY HELD BY
j. 8. FARNER
Republicans Must Have
Agriculturist Vote to
Win, Capper Says.
LABOR OPPOSES COP.
Freight Rate Re-
vision and Acceptance
of Ford's Offer.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., March "a
The American farmer holds the key
TO the White House in his toil-gnarled
hands.
Republican success at the polls in
1924 depends upon the farmer vote,
Senator Arthur Capper, Kansas,
Senate leader of the farm bloc de-
clarcd today. '.'-. -..
Neither President Harding nor any
other Republican hopes to be elected
without the support Of the farmers.
Capper said. He conceded that the
Republican ticket can expect opposi-
ton from labor.
Whether the farmers can be mob
ilizcd behind Harding, whose hat has
been tossed into the ring by Attor-
ney General Daugherty, between now
and November. 1924. Capper bs'
lieves, will depend largely upon the
prosperity of industry during the in
tervening twenty months.
Coed prices for bumper crops are
needed to enable the farmers to share
in the prosperity now enjoyed by
most other industries, Capper said.
Support of Farmers.
Under such conditions he believes
the great mass of farmers in the
West, Middlewest and Northwest viii
support the Republican nominee.
Bumper crops are forecast for this
season and Cappcr pointed out that
the administration is confronted with
the task of aiding the farmers, who
must take what Others offer and give
what others ask, to realize more on
their crops.
Farmers cannot hope for much
better prices. Capper said. until they
have a word market in which 10 sell
their surplus products. Therefore, the
most vital of three things which the
administration can do to bring pros
perity to the farmer Capper said,
was:
l. To call an economic conference
in an effort to restore the European
market for agricultural products.
.. Amend the Esch-Cummins
transportation act by repeating the
rate-making clause, and bring about
reduction of excessive freight
rates.
>. Accept Henry Ford's offer for
Muscle Shoals and give cheap nitrate
fertilizer TO the farmers.
Increase Foreign Markets.
Capper believes foreign markets
can be increased By granting foreign
credits. y fight will7be made in the
new Congress, he said. to pass lesis-
lation similar to the Norbcck- Nelson
bill, which sought to give the war
finance corporation power to purchase
time drafts against foreign importers,
guaranteed by foreign governments.
Some solution Of the transporta-
ton problem must be found in the
new Congress, he said, most other in
dustr.es are able TO pass freight
rates along. but the farmer cannot
and he declared the agricultural in.
dustry will demand relief.
In order to get bumper crops, Cap
per pointed out. cheap fertilizer j.
vital. Ford's proposal to operate
Muscle Shoals. he said, offers immcd-
late relief from the prices now
charged for Chilean nitrates.

COURT OF INQUIRY
WILL BE ASKED FOR
POST CONTROVERSY
Captain Randle Will Seek
Investigation by Mill
.J. tary Body. a,..,.s.

A military court of inquiry to in.
vestigate the Conger- Randle contro
yersy which stirred Fort Sam Hous.
ton last week, will. be asked by Capt
Edwin III. Randle when Maj. Gen
e. NJ. Lewis, corps area commander,
returns to San Antonio, it was
learned Saturday. General Lewis is
expected to return Sunday morning.
Captain Randle, jointly with his
wife, filed suit last week in the 73rd
district court against Col. Arthur L.
Conger, commanding officer of the
Twentieth Infantry, for 100000
damages, $4,000 actual, and $4,000
punitive.
Allegations in the petition were
that the superior officer had publicly
cast reflections upon the character of
Mrs. Randle and had attempted TO
subject them to ostracism from the So
cial life of the post.
If a board of inquiry is appointed,
it will consider all facts in the case
and make recommendations TO the
corps commander. Captain Randle
was confined to his quarters in an or
der read before a regimental review
recently and the petition upon which
the suit is based charges that Mrs.
Randle was likewise ordered to re-
main in quarters and that other men,
bers of the regiment were not to as
sociate with her as well as with her
husband.
1t is expected that If a court is
not appointed here, that the matter
will be taken to Washington by the
complaining parties. Captain Randle
has asked for court-martial for any
Offense which he may have committed

ROB HOUSEWIVES,
U.S.. SENATOR SAYS
Old Line Parties Will Get
Surprise If Big Business
Not Curbed.

Washington, ID. C.. March "a
Every advance of one cent a pound
sugar means that the housewives OF
the country are "robbed" of nearly
100000 a day, Senator Ladd, North
Dalpta, progressive leader in the Sen
ate, declared today in joining in the
demand for prompt governmental ac-
ton against alleged sugar gamblers,
who are charged with having driven
the price up 3 or 4 cents a pound in
the last few weeks.
Warning that some experts predict
an advance of 20 cents a pound. the
senator said that such raise would
mean gouging of S1.000.000,0 i
year for the sugar spectators.
Ladd declared that unless something
is done 10 curb big business" the
people of the country will furnish
some startling surprises to the two
old line political parties in the next
election.

Matters of Credit

The following letter has been re-

so, secretary Of the Retail Credit
Mems Association:
Mr.. Alexander Joskc, president
Joske Bros. Co.
City.
Gentlemen:
We notice your advertisement in
the san Antonio Light of March 2ith
in connection with the closing out
sale Of the Cole y. Bailey stock. In
this ad you say a word to the public
and express your opinion of charge
accounts in the following sentence:
I'VE consider the charge account an
accommodation to our customers. but
we must say that these accommodate
tons can only exist where charge ac-
counts are promptly paid, otherwise
we could not afford TO do business. and
1t is poor policy, not alone from n
business mans standpoint, but also
from the consumers. We do not want
TO sell you more than you wish to
buy"
We believe almost everyone will
readily see the point we are making.
for loose credit systems do as much
harm TO business men as they do to
the consumers.
We wish to say TO you that the
Retail Credit Mems Association an
proves this kind of educational adj
vertising, which nelps 20 educate the
public TO better understand the value
of credit accounts and Mt the same
time outlines your business policy in
regard to credit accounts.
We would like to see you continu,
to run these little announcements tC
The credit buyers in your advertise
ments, it will help to create n better
understanding between the credit buy
er and the credit grantor.

4 commodity which enters iutc each
American meal. The consumption in
this country. as stated, is 5.J00.000
tons. The American beet sugar inter-
ests produce only 100000 tons. The
Hawaiian crop is about the same size.
The Louisiana cane crop varies from
100000 to 100000 tons. The aggre-
gate domestic and Hawaiian produc-
ton, therefore, at most, is only 1.S00,-
600 tons, leaving 100000 tons to be
imported.
The American producers say they
cannot compete with Cuba without a
protective tariff. They also say that
without American production the Cub
an planters could charge anything they
wanted. The Cubans on the other
hand, say the tariff is responsible for
the high prices. They want to send
this raw sugar in free.
And SO the circle goes.
