SHIP WORK FIRST
Many Problems Face
Harding Before He
Will Take Campaign
ing Trip

Washington, April 2.-President
Harding, after a months vacation
in the South during which "offic-
ial business" was shelved COM
plesely, will find n large group OF
important problems on his desk
and demanding his attention
when he returns to Washington
next week.
Foremost among these is the
sugar question-how to get price
back TO normal. whether the al
legged sugar market manipulators
believed response for the recent
lump in prices can be prosecuted
and whether any reduction IN
tariff rates shall be made to
force down prices.
Other problems now awaiting
his attention in the oval shaped
executive Office of the White
House are:
1:-What shall be done with
the American merchant marine
following the defeat of the sub
sidy bill in the last Congress.
2:-How stricter enforcement
of prohibition can be obtained and
the issuance of q call for another
confereee Of governors to obtain
greater cooperation among the
states? /
Whether the United Ststtsf
shall proceed with the uroderni-
zation of it's fleet as authorized
by Congress in view Of the recent
disclosures that Great Britain is
not elevating its ships guns to
obtain greater range and other
wise making them more powerful
4:-Whether any reduction IN
railroad rat5s, particularly tcr
the farming region, is possible?
5:-Plans for his "Swing around
'he circle" during the summer.
Much material for these speeches
will be collected soon after the
President returns.
6:-A score of recess appoint .
ments. me most important OF
which is the dirt farmer rep
resentative on the Fedral Reserve
Board to succeed the late Mido /
D Campbell. of Michigan.
Whether the United States
can take any action to bring
about peace in the Ruhr between
France and Germany? Any def
mite move in this situation is
regarded as remote.
The president upon his return
will face a strong demand among
Congressional Progressives that
he take legal action against the
sugar conspirators." Some OF
his advisors will tell him that
little can be accomplished through
n reduction in the tariff and viii
express the opinion that he
would be overstepping the Ford
ney-McCumber law. if he reduced
tariff rates solely because OF
high prices. They hold that the
rates only can be reduced when
there is a change in the cost Of
production which would warrant
such action.
The new shipping plan has
been discussed briefly by Mr..
Harding and Shipping Board
Chairman Lasker during the va
cation in Florida, and it is prob
able that the new program will
be revealed shortly after the
Presidents return.
AS to undermining the feet,
the President may seek through
diplomatic exchanges to deter
mine whether Great Britain and
Japan desire or have any in
tention of making more power
tul the vessels retained under
the Washington conference treat
les. The American modernizatlon
appropriation was voted after
Congress was informed that
Great Britain was making radi-
cal changes in the old ships. This
information was declared by Great
Britain to be Incorrect.

Tha bridge across Castle Creek
lust south of Home Camp was wash
ed out Thursday by high water and
by two large empty steel oil storage
tanks which were floated against 1t.
All Midwest pipe lines except two

Creek. Whether this includes the
water line from Platte river Is not
known. Thes- Iwo small pipes are
tho only means of travel between
Lavoye and Home Camp and must

Home Camp was out of gas Friday
and cold lunches were being served
at the Home Camp hotel. Hot cof-
fee was, made Saturday by means of
wood which had been chopped in the
meantime. This camp is reported to
be out of fresh fruit, meat. vegeta

All telephone poles. rig equipment,
shacks and other property lying In

only phone service to Casper Is from
one or two private oil company lines

field, which EAR only be reached by
foot. practically all bridges and roads

hundreds of thousands of dollars is

that operatives and those living in

which among other costly machines
and equipment houses the cross
triple compound engine and five $50

Naturally. the private legislation
could only have gotten through con-
gress through misrepresenta-
ton OF the facts. and the question
now raised is that this legislation is
void because It violated the Fifth
amendment; that Douglas. having
for more han twenty ear compiled

governing the ho~mesteading of pub
lie lands. and prevented from actual
ly making application to enter be-
cause Of the delay in filing the sur
e plat. acquired n right which
cannot be taken away from him;
that congress has no more right to
take the homestead of Douglas and
give It to Rhoades than 1t would
to seize any private property and
sell II to someone else.
The case has attracted the atten-
tion of attorneys generally, and the
outcome will be awaited with inter

LAND RIGHTS To

Interesting Claims Up
In Connection With
Unsurveyed Land.

WASHINGTON. Oct. s.-For the
first time in history the United
States supreme court has been called
upon to define tho right acquired by
one who settles upon. c~ultivates and
improves unsurveyed agricultural
public lands. Further. the court has
been asked to determine whether
congress. having expressly provided
for h acquiring of rights on such
ands. can nae legislation , the eff
feet of which is to deprive a settler
on unsurveyed agricultural public
lands of his rights acquired through
compliance with the homestead laws
as TO cultivation and residence for
a period OF over twenty years.
The case comes from Arkansas
and was appealed to the higher court

since 1901, built substantial improve

their value is now approximately 500

and in 1919, the general land office
approved the survey plat. This plat
however. was not filed in the local
land office until some thirteen
months later. In the meantime in
a private bill, sponsored by Senator
Caraway and others. was enacted bv
congress, authorizing the sale OF
these lands TO one Rhoades at 81 95
