But it must be perceived at once that

ing the settlement, they cannot COM

Question of Cabinet.
Now the first question has been as
to how the next cabinet would be
| formed. Obviously there might be a
cabinet of the moderates with the
Eat votes of the Socialists, the Centre,
the Peoples and the Democratic
parties supporting it. But there might
just as easily be a cabinet based upon
a combination of the Nationalists
and the three bourgeoisie parties,
with ninety-six votes for the former
and 147 for the latter, or 243 in all,
| with the certainty of acquiring ad-
ditional votes from the minor parties.
This latter combination would be
| more natural, for there are more
points in common between the mod
crates and the nationalists than be-
tween the moderateS and the Social
lists, provided only the nationaIists
to the Dawes report as a basis for
negotiation and for settlement. And
here, it would seem, is the real center
of all present German political ma
neuvering. Not only would such a
coalition be more natural, but on the
sentative of the actual sentiment of
Germany as disclosed by the recent
election.
What the election really meant
would seem to be that. while not
! rejecting the Dawes report, it severe
ly disciplined those parties which had
declared openly for the acceptance OF
the experts report and added greatly
to the strength of those which had
openly antagonized it Germany, it
would appear, then, from this point
of examination, is willing to discuss
the Dawes report with a view of
reaching a. settlement, but in no mood
TO accept it unconditonally or with
out great concessions.
A Socialist Moderate combination
would certainly approach the allies
in a far moro conciliatory spirit than
a Nationalist Moderate coalition, but
the latter would seem far more ac-
curately to represent the present
temper Of tho German people. Ac-
tually, the sticking point might very
well be the question of the evacu-
alton Of the Ruhr. Under the Dawes
report the French and Belgians are
asked to abandon the economic ex-
ploitation of the Ruhr, but not to
withdraw their military Earrtsons,
but nothing seems more eertAin than

Computed on the Portland, Oreg, res

walls in all parts of the country.
OF course, the cost Of living is
abnormally high. or course, the
people pay $4,000, 100000 annually
into the pockets Of non-producers.
Equally of course. the farmer does
not get any Of this profit.
One million persons left the Amen-
can farms last year for cities and
towns. And due to the natural in
crease in population there are 1,4o0,-
600 more mouths to feed. But instead
OF more hands to feed them, there
are 100000 fewer to work on the
farms. This annual migration from
the soil is not because the farmers
wish to quit farming. They quit be-
cause economic conditions force them
to. Year after year of dollar losses
breaks the morale Of the farmer until
the retreat from the farm, IL not
checked, will turn into utter rout.
These defeated and discouraged farm
folk nook to the cities and towns

former producers become consumers,
and there is no one hardy enough to

result in decreased production in the

BY FRANK H. SIMONDS.

ID ds
1.-TWO weeks after the German
l. election, calculations as to
the real meaning of the vote
are still to be heard on all
sides. For Americans, faced with the
possibility of a third party in the
coming campaign, the uncertainty
which exists in Europe following
elections as consequence of a null
tiple party system is thus empha-
sized And the difficulty is the more
acute because not only are there
many parties, but not few mem
bers OF each Of these drift across
party lines almost at will.
Yet the more closely the compost
ton Of the now Reichstag is studied.
the more obvious is the fact that
not only is it going to be difficult
for any group of parties to form a
government, always provided the old
Marx-Stresemann combination does
not remain, but also that there are
almost innumerable combinations
which may be made, combinations
by the moderate parties with the
Natfonalists or with the Socialists
that is, with republican or mon
archial sympathizers.
The election represented a success
for the two extremes. one of which
derives its inspiration from Moscow
and is revolutionary, the other of
which bases its program upon the
tradition Of Potsdam and is reac-
tionary. The losses were made by
precisely those parties which might
be regarded as accepting the regime
created by the postwar conditions.
accepting the republic not with en-
thusiasm, not as a finality, perhaps.
but as the best thing discoyerable
at the moment.
ReichstaG Composition.
If you will look for a moment at
the composition Of this now Reichs-
tag, as compared with the old, some
thing Of the problem will be disclosed
In the old the four moderate parties
were thus represented: Socialists,
IT'S; Centre. 6S; Peoples party, 66:
Democratic party, 80, and Bayarian
Peoples party, 20; that is 366 in all
Actually the Socialists were not rem
resented in the Marx ministry. but
sustained the cabinet.
AS consequence Of the recent
popular decision the situation is this:
Socialists, 100: Centre, So; PEOPLES.
a.; Democratic, %; Bavarian PEOPLES.
Is; that is 247 in all, showing a total
loss Of the moderate elements Of 11s.
or almost exactly a third. or this
loss the Socialist is the greatest.
| namely. 73, while the bourgeoisie
parties lost 46. In the new chamber.
with a membership Of 465, it would
still be possible for these four parties.
with a combined total Of 247, to con-
troll, and in point Of fact they would
be aided by the votes Of certain minor
groups.
BY contrast with the moderates, tho
extremists Jared as follows: The Ma
tiona1ists, who had 81 seats in the
old house, count ss in the new. The
Volkische party, tho extreme fire.
eating Nationalists, who hardly ex-
listed before, number 80. Thus the
monarchial groups have increased
from 10 to 128, a gain Of IS. As for
tho Communists. they have expanded
their numbers from IS to 81, . gain

quires governmental aid-not, how
ever, of the paternalistic type. The
farm should be considered as a buH-
ness proposition. Farm products
should be treated as machinery and
other manufactures are treated.
Diversity crops, Of course Too
much wheat is as bad for the farm
trade as too many automobiles are
bad for the auto trade. Then sta
bilize and systematize the selling and
distributing ends of the farm indus
try. Recently I introduced bill in
the Senate, also introduced in the
House by Representative Williams of
Michigan, which believe will aid the
farmer materially, IL enacted. This
bill provides for:
The establishing Of a federal mar
keting board, to certify, supervise and
link together in an orderly market
ing system three classes Of marketing
agencies, organized on a commodity
basis-namely, cooperative market
ing associations of producers; CO.
operative clearing house associations,
through which the producers associa-
tidns coordinate their commercial
activities, and the terminal market
ing associations operating at distrib-
uting centers.
The main object will be to cut out
unnecessary movements OF produce;
to cut down waste and to stabilize
the financial side of the industry. In
addition, 1 believe that a reduction OF
tariff rates on many things vital TO
the welfare of the farmer would be
a great help.
X +
OF course, a reduction in taxation
which is bound to come, will help
the farmer as it will help every one
else. Tax-exempt securities should
be abolished altogether. The burden
should be lifted from the shoulders
of the workers and more placed on
the shoulders of those who can afford
to pay taxes-who have unearned in
comes.
And the quickest way to reduce
taxation, not only in America, but
elsewhere in the entire world, will
be to follow the path pointed out by
President Harding. I believe in a
world court believe in re-
duction of ornaments to the mini
