FARM-A|D CONCERN
Private Interests to Finance
Wheat Growers in Task of
Diversifying Crops.

Immediate formation of $4,000, 600
corporation by private interests to
provide assistance TO agriculture with
the aid Of the War Finance Corpora
tion was planned. and other recon-
mendations were outlined in a report
sent today for consideration by the
President.
Funds to provide the $4,000, 900
capital for the service corporation are
practically guaranteed. Secretary
Hoover said. although subscriptions
from industrial and commercial in
terests pledged to its creation have
not yet been entered. 1t will be the
object Of the corporation to conduct
its enterprises without profit.
Aims to Aid Farmers.
"lts purpose will be to take the
widest and most generous view in
rendering aid" Mr.. Hoover said. "Its
primary purpose will be to assist the
farmer situation directly. 1t will
have the full backing Of the War FL
ly, will be able to obtain many times
it's capital stock for use.
Exactly how 1t will proceed can
not be determined until 1t has gotten
under way. Hundreds of instances
will probab bly, be found in which 1t
may be able to assist in refunding
and organizing farm Indebtedness for
the purpose of cabling wheat grow
ers to convert their operations into
other types of agriculture"
Functioning of the corporation will
not depend upon action by Congress,
Mr.. Hoover added. He expressed the
opinion that the action taken by the
conference has gone far toward elm
mating the immediate danger in the
wheat-growing area where depressed
troubles during recent months.
Conference Adjourns.
The conference completed it's ses-
sions yesterday and adjourned after
appointing a committee to present
its views to Mr.. Coolidge today. 1t
also authorized another committee
to supervise organization of the pro-
posed corporation and suggested that
the President appoint permanent
committee to deal with the agricul-
tural situation, at the same time in
dorSing proposals to assist banks in
the wheat-growing sections and call
ing upon mortgage companies and
similar institutions to extend wher-
ever practicable the maturities on
farmers obligations.
Confronted with a vigorous divi-
sion Of opinion over Endorsement of
pendlnS DlllS TO provide government
funds to help wheat and other farm
ers to diversity their production and
to establish an export corporation,
the conference took no action on leg
islative measures, but the committee
instructed to present the report to
the President decided to submit a
separate recommendation Of it's own
that such bills be enacted.
The committee appointed to super
wise formation Of the relief corpora
tion includes Clarence NJ. Woolley and
John McHugh Of New York. and Alex
ander Legge and Robert P. Lamont
OF Chicago. The functions OF the COR
poration were not defined, being left
for its incorporators to determine, but
Secretary Hoover pointed out that its
credit resources would total many
times the $4,000. 900 capitalization in
view OF the aid that could be extended

Confront S0-Year.Old Man.
By the Associated Press.

BRIDGETON, N. J., February g.
Thompson Dickson, charged with
Staying his daughter, Emma, in a
written statement made in the county
Jail here yesterday, accused his
eighty-year-o father, BENJAMIN
Dickson. Of having killed the girl. It
was on the statement of Benjamin
Dickson that his son had beaten the
girl to death that the younger man
was arrested.
MY old daddy did the job" said
Thompson Dickson's statement. HE
wanted TO get the money left to
Emma and was going to get my little
girl out of the road. After my daddy
killed Emma there was nothing else
for me to do but help him get rid of
the body. Go get a sheet and put it
over your head and then ask my
father who killed Emma Dickson.
Don't say word but go home and
examine the wheel barrow and you
will find blood on 1t all right"
The police are working on the
theory that the girl was killed to
obtain $1,000 left to her by a recluse
whom she had befriended.
Yesterday was the first time that
Thompson Dickson had been told his
father had furnished the information
that brought about his arrest.

Evidence of Hasty Burial.
The sections of the shrines now
have been completely dismantled and
set aside. This process has revealed
most fascinating set Of proofs that
the burial of the pharaoh took place
with unexpected hurry.
The largest shrine is II by II
feet and is nine feet high. The com
ponent sections of all the shrines
are constructed of timber which is
never less than two inches thick
each, frequently several tons. All
are covered with sheet gold and
overwrought with designs inside and
out. the outside shrine being finished
with blue glaze and gold. The de-
signs are of exquisite workmanship
and reveal very careful planning by
expert craftsmen. but it is in the
setting up of the sections that un-
mistakable evidences of extreme
haste are found.
the task of carrying them into the tomb
an extremely complicated one. After
the king had been lowered into the
crystalline sandstone sarcophagus,
which housed his two or possibly three
cofftns, each encasing the other, and the
soielllH luEerdl ceremonies ndu Deen
performed, the tomb must have been
left to the carpenters, cabinet makers,
mechanical engineers and their fore
men and numerous slaves. all of whom
were waiting to set UP the sections of
the shrine.
So that there would be no waste of
time in assembling these. the foreman
had hastily marked each piece with a
word which would indicate its place
with relation to the others. These
words can still be seen as plainly as
if they had been put there yesterday

 In the five years, 1919-1923 inclus- i've, 51 cases were filed on the Seward district court docket. This number sale of property for delinquent muni- cipal taxes and subsequent approval of the sales, one change of name and an Anchorage divorce, brought in Se- ward because the attorney for the plaintiff lived there. It also includes several cases in which an action was filed, but dismissed before going fur ther.
 The above are facts. not guesswork. On what grounds then, can Seward claim she has been unfairly treated There are none and it remains to be seen whether the Seward Gateway will be as fair as the Cordova Time and print the facts correcting its own miSStatements.
 That threat of the Gateway to side with Anchorage to take the court headquarters away from Valdez may prove to have been illadvised. For years Valdez has gone along, lamt among the wolves, making little or no protest when other towns grabbed off her envied possessions It may be that this little threat will prove the last scourge to metamorphose the seeming lamb into the most ravenous of the wolf horde-time will tell.
 Far be it from us to even insinuate that the good people of Valdez would stoop so low as to attempt revenge for real or fancied grievances, but we wonder if the editor of the Gate way and the good people of Seward realize how frail is their own struc ture, and that some day. as in the fa- ry tale, wolf may come along and blow and blow until he blows their house down: do they realize as near ly every one else in Alaska does that the Alaska railroad, if it would handle any considerable tonnage of coal or ore economically and profitably it must seek another outlet to water transportation than Seward: that all the necessary surveys and plans for such an outlet, requiring but wtlve acted upon at the proper time: that succh an outlet, requiring but twelve

INHE ERITANCE TAX
By Marit Eide.

Ther has been some discussion about having bill taken to Cong ress as the Inheritance Tax. Why should one man be allowed to keep thousands of dollars in his family and not pay tax on it at death? As this money is handed down from one gen. eration to another it will grow in size and give one man too great an influ- ence in our government
 Golfers Weekly says, we like to see men win but we hate to see them block traffic" This is very true and if the wealthy people pay an inherit ance tax they will be forced to work to keep up the tax on their wealth.

REFERENDUM ON WAR BY Willis CorsOn

The power of declaring war should be in the hands of the people. They are the ones who have to risk their lives and pay the war taxes, not their representatives or rulers. It is giving one group of persons too much power to place in their hands the ability to plunge the great nations into war with all it's horrors On the other hand, a few peace-at-all costs preach CTS should not be allowed to keep the nation from resenting an insult to the flag or from wiping out a stain on her honor
 The votes should be in the hands of the burden-bearing public so let's do our part to see that it gets there not alone in our nation but in all the nations of the world
