merger Of elevators Of the American
Farm Bureau federation. The COM
mittee Friday indicated approval with
reservations of the proposal made by
the Armour and other grain corpor-
atoms for consolidation of elevators
with view of development Of such
an agency.
The statement of the committee
which met in Chicago Friday made
it clear that the committee will re-
quire clear understanding upon the
producer-owned nature of the sales
agency, following period Of transit
ton when it is to be managed by the
grain operators.
Lawyers for the corporations and
for the committee have been called
into consultation and the committee
has conferred with representatives
of the American Wheat Growers, the
cooperative elevator associations, the
National association of Oranges. and
other producing organizations.
Among the points under consid.
Grafton by the committee are these:
Organization of the corporation I'M

president, and j. w. Coverdale, sec
rotary, tonight "that the control of
the corporation should reside in a
board of directors representative of
all producer interests, and who shall
have the usual powers and duties of
directors, and that corporation should
be formed according to the terms OF
the Illinois cooperative marketing
law, 1923.
"The properties must pass to the
new cooperative association with
marketable titles and free from all
encumbrances or Indebtedness. The
valuation of the properties to be Ia
ken over shall be arrived at in i'm
partial appraisement by competent
appraisers and experts according to
the usual procedure in such proper
ties under the authorized procedure
in this state, and any obsolete or USE
less properties will be thereby elm
mated"
The proposal of the operators pro-
vided that the sales agency should be
incorporated under a state law con.
current with the Capper-Volstead act

obstacle develops, the proposed pro-
ducer-controlled grain sales agency

to La Toilette will be drawn from the
democratic party and that this will
help rather than hurt the republican
ticket. Furthermore, he thinks that
the moderate liberals in the republi-
can ranks, the type Of progressives
in the Roosevelt movement of 1912,
will be unable to support either La
Toilette or the democratic ticket am
will vote for Coolidge.
Mr.. Mondell, who was formerly re-
publican floor leader of the house,
believes that President Coolidge will
carry with him republican majority
in the house and that the radicals
will lose their balance of power there
He comedies that it will be difficult
to dislodge the radicals from the bal
ance Of power in the senate, owing t.,
the fact that only one-thlrd of the
senators comes up for reelection this
year and there are but few oppor-
tunities for the republicans to make
gains.

leader and chairman of the Cleveland
radical convention, declared the Davis
nomination was the best thing that
could have happened to the La Toilette
ticket. He described the Davis nomi-
nation as having been dictated by
Wall street which also,. he said, ia
vors President Coolidge. There is
only one issue now, he said, which is
whether the people or Wall street
will control the government. From
the La Toilette viewpoint both old
parties in naming their tickets and
in writing their platforms have taken
course which was best calculated
to improve the prospects Of a third
ticket for rolling up sufficient vote
to throw the election into congress.

Coolidge Victory
WESTERNER ASSERTS DEMO
CRATIC DISSENSION HAS
HELPED CHANCES

The prospects for the reelection of
President Coolidge have greatly i'm
proved and that there is no longer
any LIKELIHOOD that the election will
be thrown into congress, is the be-
lief of Frank Mondell, director of
the War Finance corporation, who
was permanent chairman of the re-
publican convention at Cleveland md
heads the committee to notify the
president of his nomination.
Dissension among the democrats
which developed in the New York
convention has helped the republicans
according to Mr.. Mondell. The open
support of Senator R. M. La Toilette
(rep., Wis., independent presidential
candidate, by the socialist party, Mr.
Mondell thinks, has further benefited
the republican ticket. The La Fol
lette campaign, he believes, will elbow
up"
with the socialist party support
ing La Toilette the people of the
country will begin to get an idea OF
just the sort of backing the indepen-
dent movement has," said Mr.. Mon
dell. "The radical labor element will
be with La Toilette and also the pink
element. He will fail to get any ex-
tensive agricultural support when ii
is fully realized what groups are
most active for him. The socialists
have declared that La Toilette is a
socialist in everything but name.
This makes a clear cut issue.
at may sound foolish but 1 would
not be surprised to see President
Coolidge carry La Follette's owI
state of Wisconsin. The amalgama-
ton of the La Toilette forces with
the socialists will bring the republi-
can party to life in that state"

rye this summer, Mr.. Murphy told
the conference is due to ) short
world crop.
The farmer is compelled" he said,
ITO sell at prices that are offered
him on the basis of world market
in competition with the peon and the
peasant, and yet buy in a protected
domestic market and maintain schools
pay taxes, build churches and roads
and bear the burdens of all other
citizens.
Every eight hour day law, every
regulation Of telegraph and telephone
the restrictive immigration act, the
Adamson law, the triff law, the trans
portation act, the labor board, the
coal board, and all the interferences
with national economic laws place a
burden upon Americas farmers.
"The warehouses are full of plows
and drills, but the farmer cannot buy
either article for a cent less than if
sales wereI00 percent of the output,
whereas, when he has surplus his
price is driven down regardless of
pfOQucClOn COSTS.
"But when agriculture asks for
equality, it is met with the cry that
it's demands are uneconomic!
Protection All the Way or None
"The farmer is through with being
the wallfower at the dance.
Either the breach in the protective
wall through which the foreign flood
submerges him must be filled, or the
entire protective wall must come
down.
1--WE are not here to organize any
new farm organization" Mr.. Murphy
added. Neither are we here to or
ganize new political party. We are
here to get a square deal for ourselv-
es, as farmers. We have no thought
of organizing agriculture into a great
directing force in legislation with a
view to imposing upon any class the
right of others. But it is our purpose
to coordinate the forces Of American
agriculture So that it will DE in posi-
ton to prevent injustices and en-
croachments and be in position to
gain equality with labor and industry.
Gall Of the farm organizations of
America are to be brigaded with 9TH
er forces in common offensive. We
are to be prepared to reward our
friends and punish our enimies. >

The Personnel Classification Board

which have been sent to the board
from departments and establishments
of the Government.
A total of about $500 appeals have
been sent to the board, it was esti-

came effective the first of this fiscal
year, July l. The total number OF
persons in the District of Columbia

On account of the care exercised
the process has been somewhat slow,
but every rsrtor entering into the
alloca ton Is some into by the invesu-
gators. When the board determines
what to do with each case, report
is sent to the department concerned

rating.
When the proposed plan is returned
to the Bureau of Efficiency with COM
