Dope Indicates Montana Sena-
tor Has Made No Sacrifice in
Accepting Nomination
BY CHARLES P. STEWART
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, (SpeciaD- Aug.
An accepting the Progressive
nomination for vice president, Ser
ator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana
ISN'T making all unqualified sacrifice
of himself, as some people assume
he is.
Nor is he booming himself to be-
come a political nonentity even in
the event of victory, as it's gener-
ally assumed the vice presidential
candidate does do, assuming, Of
course, that the chief magistrate
lives out his term and his next in
line simply spends four years presid-
ing over the United States Senate.
On the contrary, Senator Wheel
er, in accepting the Progressive
nomination, stands the best chance
to become, not vice president, bat
president, that any vice presidential
candidate ever did stand.
No rational Progressive really
thinks Senator Robert M. La Fol-
lette will have a majority over ail''
in the electoral college. Some ra-
tional Progressives say so, but it's
just political talk.
But the Progressives do think
their ticket stands a fair chance of
getting an electoral plurality, or, ii
not, that it will run second anyway,
and that a plurality will be the best
the leading ticket can show.
The House of Representatives,
called on then to decide Cor try to
decide) among the three leading
candidates for president, presuno-
ably will vote, by states, q for Coo
lidge, 20 for Davis and 2 for La
Toilette.
Five state delegations are qually
split between Republicans and Dem
ocrats, SO wouldn't count. Result,
a dead lock in the House.
Then the Senate. But the Senate
doesn't vote on the vice president by
states. Each senator votes indie
.pendently. Nor does the Senate vote
for three candidates. 1t votes only
for two. IL the Progressive ticket
runs first or second, Burton K.
Wheeler will be one of these two,
opposing Charles w. Bryan or
Charles G. Dawes. One III tine two

FEED CROPS
grown IN Georgia
Hog Prices Heading Upward
With Opportunity Presented
Farmers to Take Profits

ATLANTA, August 4.-Authori-
ties at the Atlanta Live Stock mark
ct here assert that every indication
points to bumper feed crops in Geor-
gia. while the sections Of volume
productions in the north and west
report most discouraglng yields
The prediction is freely made that
later government reports will show
corn belt crops in even worse con
dition than reports previously made
which classed the corn crop outlook
as the poorest on record"
Georgia needs and should have at
least 100000 cattle and 100000
pigs for distribution amongst her
farmers. Inquiries from every see
tion of the state show that the farm
ers are awakened as never before
and are ready and willing to try
the feeding of live stock.
With one Of the biggest corn
crops in years, a big increase in hay
production, and thousands OF acres
of the finest peanut fields Sin The
south, we must have live stock for
economical usage of this great sur
plus,
Only Y per cent Of a normal corn
cron is estimated for the United
States. Not one of the so-cailed
corn states exceeds average and not
one of the southeastern states goes
below the average. Surely
these facts should prove encourag-
ing to the cotton belt farmers. More
over, we are accomplishing what has
been thought impossible We are
producing a great cotton crop, while
growing an abundance Of food and
feeds.
Hog prices are headed upwards
after touching bottom for many
months. Already the predicted hog
shortage is at hand, and buyers
show their faith in fairly high price,
hogs for several months to come.
The opportunity is here for the
cotton belt farmer to establish hi.
operations upon a permanently pros
porous basis, by acquiring live stool
to consume his surplus feeds. i
he will follow this plan, he will EN-
able the south to become wholly
independent of other farming sec
tions, and put his own operation.
upon cash basis for all time u
come.

season, and with cotton soon com
ing in plentifully the farmers and
their families are going to supply
their needs.
friends 7 have recently visited prac-
tieanv every section OF Sumter
comfy. and everywhere l went cot
tor and corn crops are good. Rea-
son no longer exists for farmers
and their families to buy cautiously
The farmer has the same right 70
the comforts of life as the city
dweller. and ] believe they are go
ING 10 have these, too. The eNpe-
rience of last year when Sumter
produced only about 10000 bales
Of cotton was a narrowing one that
entailed hardships upon the entire
community This fall there is an
entirely different outlook EEpe-
rieneed painters say the yield here
will approximate 10000 bales, and
all indications point to a good price
being paid for the staple.
II expect cotton to marketed
steady and almost as rapidly as the
staple is brought into Americas
warehouses. There viii re, perhaps
temporary Withdrawals Of selling
orders from time to tinre, but in the
main farmers with whom | have
talked will sell their cotton and SAT-
isfy their needs early in the season.
I know there are some old debts
that must soon be satisfied, but
these will not, in my opiniin, inter
fere with the buying power of the
people, and The Fashion Shop is
preparing to handle a great vol
ume Of early fall business.
81 want to congratulate the
ITimes-Recorder on the fight made
to produce normal cotton crop
here this season. / believe that the
Paper in this effort has rendered
services worth millions of dollars
to this community. Your effort to
awaken business men to their OPP
lportunity at this time is also most
lcommendable. We must all pre-
pare to handle the big volume Of
business that is certain to come our
way as a result Of having produced
a normal cotton crop once more,
despite the boil weevil."

WILL ERECT MEMORIAL
SHRINE TO JOHN WESLEY

BRUNSWICK, August "A
movement has been started in This
city and the initia meeting mas
been held with view az building
a Frederica, on St. Simon island, a
Wesey Memorial church to com
memorate the birth of Methodism
in the United States.
At the first meeting held by a
number Of local citizens interested
in the movement, the matter was
discussed and a number of plans
suggested.
The most popular schedule offer
ed, however, was to raise by sub
scription sufficient money to con-
struct magnificent money to con-
struet a magnificent edifice on the
plot near the present Christ Episco-
pal church on the island and the
fund for the purpose is 20 be given
by the 8,304,948 Methodists Of
the world, each member of the
church to be given an opportunity
to subscribe in part toward a
structure that would honor the great
work Of the Rev. John Wesley
founder of Methodism. II is agreed
that another meeting should be ar
ranged for in the near future at
which the public will be invited to
attend. The plan of asking all
Methodists of the world to contrib
ute ten cents each was gone into
and thoroughly discussed and the
pan is now being worked out. 1t is
hoped that the appea can be mad4
at moderate cost and those who
are at the head Of the movement
believe that there will be a ready
response and that prominent Meth
odists all over the county will en-
dorse and aid in the movement.

SECRET REBATES MAY
OBTAIN DESPITE LAW
Secretary Mellon Accused of
Seeking TO Block Publicity
Sought By Congress
By cHARLEs ?. STEWART

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-(Spe-
cial.)-Congress aimed at publicity
when it passed the new tax law.
According to national lawmakers
who were influential in getting the
law through, Secretary Of the Teas
ury Mellon has taken steps already
to set it at naugh.
The law provides a board of up;
peals to handle tax disputes. IL
proceeding are to be public. The
avowed object of the publicity was
to prevent secret rebates to influ-
entail taxpayers.
Previously, not only were such re-
bates made secretly, but to give out
amy information concerning them
was an offense punishable by a
prison term.
The Treasury Department is or.
gaining the new board, but at the
same time it has revived an absc-
lete board, renamed it the division
of tax review, and announces that
this latter board will hear all tax
appeal cases before they 60 to the
pnew body.
They viii not reach the latter al
all except upon appeal. If the
claimants get what they want from
the division of tax review, natural
~ they viii not appeal.
The tax review divisions proceed
ings, vii be secret, as heretofore.
{ Its just an evasion of the new
tax law" says Senator King Of
UtUah.
"lt's a subterfuge for continuing
the old secret methods" agrees
Senator Jones Of New Mexico.

law. Not many Of the congresslner
who did support it are in town. bul

would be without a candidate Of its
own.
It might, conceivably, throw IN

elect Wheeler, and, the deadlocked
House, having made no presidential
choice, Wheeler, as vice president,
would become president.
The obvious conclusion, on all the
