Congress Eager to Avoid Extra Session,
But Farmer Relief Bills Are Nightmare

price shall be guaranteed. Strangely enough,
some bankers, who but lately were loud in
denunciation of the paternalistic and social
istic theories of the farmers, finding them
selves pinehed by the farmers adversely, are
shouting louder than the farmers them
selves for government price fixing.
X
Senator McCunber pointed out the num-
Der of measures now pending before the
Congress for the relief of the farmer. There
are the many provisions in the agricultural
appropriation bill to assist him. There is
the Capper bill to help the stock-raising in
dustry; then the Lenroot bill for rural
credits will soon be reported to the Senate
then the Norris fund creating hundred-mil-
ion-dollar government fund for rural
credits; and the Bursum bill to loan to Ger
many billion dollars with which to pur-
chase American products. The farmer has
no right to complain of interest in his well
fare and of lack of efforts to apply it.
1t is not believed that Congress will listen
to the demand that the government should
fix the price of the farmers wheat, for there
will Immediately come the cry for the same
treatment with oats, barley, corn and cot
ton. Neither is it thought that the project
of inducing the government into the bust
ness of buying and selling the farmers
products will receive the sanction of Con-
gress. The country has had experience with
government operating of railroads, which
was disastrous. The farmers, during the
war, had experience with the governuental
fixing of the minimum price of wheat, which,
it is commended did not work out to their
advantage because they would have obtained
more for it if competition had existed.

efficiency is never remanded, is just as
necessary for the growth Of intellectually
and genius as the free air of heaven to lite
itself is Senator McCumber's idea of the
answer to the appeals for socialistic and
paternalstic theories.
But he has plan which he thinks will
give the farmer real assistance. He pro-
poses counter-organizatio by the farmers
in their own behalf. He asserts that without
any organization to fix the price of the
farmers products, he is the victim of organi-
cations which have boosted the price of
everything he must purchase. He offers
remedy, admitting that it is a radical de-
parture from old methods of marketing
farm products.
This is counter organization-an organiza-
ton which will withhold every bushel of
wheat from the market until living price
therefor is secured; that will hold every
hog and steer, every bale of cotton until
just and living price is realized. This is
to be accomplished under federal supervi-
sion, the farmers in each state organizing and
being in touch with federal board which
provides system of terminal marketing
and instructs the farmer in finding the best
market to prevent Cutting the market and
lowering prices.

sumner, who knows what this "stabilizing of
prices" means to him. 1t will mean stabi-

Austrian Tribute
For Judge Payne

Judge John Barton Payne, chairman
of the American Red Cross, was pre-
scented with the star of merit Of the
Austrian Red Cross, the highest honor
within the gift of the Austrian republic,
at ceremonies at National Red Cross
headquarters Friday.
Edgar l. G. Prochnik, charge daft
flares Of Austria, who presented the
decoration, thanked Judge Payne on
the behalf of Austria for the work
done by the American Red Cross in
that country since the signing of the
armistice. making particular mention
of the relief work carried on among
the children.
Mr.. Prochnik declared that his
country was profoundly touched by
the magnanimous generosity Of the
greatest mother in the world" who
was endeared to every man, woman
and child in Austria.
Accepting the decoration, Chairman
Payne said: ION behalf Of the Amer
lean Red Cross accept with feelings
of gratitude and appreciation this
distinguished honor. 1t is a pleasure
to realize that the American Red
Cross was equal to it's opportunities
for serving mankind. Not SO long
ago America was at war with Austria,
but this makes no difference with the
Red Cross, which seeks only to serve
all mankind"
Col Ernest p. Bicknell, who pre-
sided, told Of the struggles of the
Austrian people, particularly the
children, after the war. The Amer
lean Red Cross, he said. three years
ago established it's first unit in
Vienna, and since that time $4,50o,000
had been spent by it in work among
the sick in hospitals and the under
nourished children throughout Aus
tria. When the work was turned
over to the native agencies last June
101 chiId-health centers had been es-
tablished by the Red Cross.
Mime Prochnik, wife of the charge
d'affaires, and Miss Mabel T. Board
man, secretary of the American Red
Cross were present at the ceremonies.

plank in any republican platform was

tance, first in distinguished consid-
GRAFTON by the platform makers, first

form dismissed pensions for civil war

Anw now a republican President
vetoes a bill passed almost unani-
mously by both houses of Congress-
Grover Cleveland was defeated for
President in 1883 because he slowed
down the pension mill. And when he
went fishing on Memorial day 1t was a
national scandal. The old soldier for a
generation after the civil war controlled
the republican party. and even with the
solid south controlled by the Confed-
crate veterans. the G. A. R. was always
able to throw panic into the demo-
cratic party. In the eighties and nine
ties G.. A. R national encampment
was the most important political gather
ing that met on this continent. Before
1t Presidents trembled and national
leaders stood afraid. The old boys were
jealous Of their power and liked to make
politicians dance for them. The profess
sional old soldier was encouraged by
the veterans because he was given to
shooting his oratory at the toes Of sus-
pected mugwumps and lukewarm re-
pubiicans. He was an uncomfortable
nuisance and generally a crook and al
ways polite CRATER Of passes and spe-
cial privileges and empty honors. But
the country had to put up with him be-
cause the veterans INDUCED him, even
though they secretly despised him.
