CAL BIDS FOR
farm VOTE BY
BUTTER TARIFF
Raise Cows Instead of
Wheat Is Gals Advice

After carrying on the Harding pol
Icy of fighting the congressional farm
bloc. lending no support to several
bills designed to aid the farmers
which he was content to see defeated,
President Coolidge made belated bid
for the farm vote yesterday.
Northwestern farmers. who have
been burning corn cobs in the winter
to keep themselves warm, and who
spent more money this year to raise
their crops and ship them to market
than they will receive for them, will at
least get a laugh out of Coolidge's
farm relief plan. The president
caused the announcement to be made
that "for the most part, additional aid
will be rendered the farmers thru ma
nipulation of the flexible tariff scale"
Poke Butter Rates.
The first indication Of this farm aid,
we learn, is that "the tariff commits
sion this week opened up an investi-
cation into the tariff on butter" The
plan is that Coolidge is to force the
western farmers to enter into dairy
farming, and he is fixing the tariff on
butter so that 1t will be ready for the
dairy operations. Senator Lenroot is
the new butter tariff advocate, after
being converted to the virtues of dairy
farming in a conference with Cool
idge.
Farmers are wondering how Cool
idge gets that way in saying "addi-
tional aid to the farmers" They de-
clare he has done absolutely nothing
for the farmers since he accidentally
slipped into the White House via the
poisoned crab route. The only accom-
plishment Coolidge can boast of is
spending thousands of dollars thru the
war finance corporation in making a
survey of farm conditions. His aid
to the farmers in this case got no fur
Their than making the survey.
Politicians interpret the recent con
ferences of senators from farming
states with Coolidge as an attempt
on the part Of the leading republicans
to kick Cal out of his usual silence
Senator Bursum of New Mexico is
urging Coolidge to take a definite
stand on reclamation, water power
and food control, so that Bursum will
have something to talk about in the
republican campaign in the south
west. Butler also discussed the New
England situation with Coolidge.
Senators Provoke Cal.
Meanwhile Silent Cal stands fiat.
footedly and pig-headedly on his but,

ing where they're going to get money
to buy cows. Last winter in North
Dakota many of them killed OFF the
last of their live stock to keep from
starving. The Morgan controlled rail.
roads have MIXED the farmers dry by
increasing freight rates The Morgan
and Rockefeller controlled Interna.

impossible for the farmers to buy

has raised prices so exorbitantly
Morgan controlled banks, which prac-
tically own most of the farms of the
west because the farmers cannot pay
on their heavily mortgaged lands, re.
fuse to grant more credit.
But Cal is equal to the situation.

Ell PASO, Tex, June 24.-Mexican
authorities, by their conduct, have de-
feated all hope of British recognition.
Fl A. Cunnard Cummins, British agent,
who left Mexico City after having de-
fed an expulsion order of President
Obregon, declared yesterday upon his
arrival here to visit friends. Cummins
assailed what he characterized as the
"inexactitudes and exaggeration Of the
Mexican government"
The British agent was charged with
sending discourteous notes to the Mex
ican government. Ordered deported, he
was a prisoner within the legation
from June 10 until June 10, when
President Obregon withdrew the depor-
tation order. and announcement was
made in London that arrangements for
the withdrawal of Mr.. Cummins from
Mexico had been completed
Acts Not Representative.
"The acts of those who rule in Mexi-
CO today represent neither the charac-

said.

|. C. c. GRANTS PLEA
FOR new RAILROAD
Line to Cross State of Florida at
Cost of Over $1,000, ,OOO-Sea-
board Backs Road.

By the Assoc ted Press.
The Florida Western and Northern
railroad has won its fgnt before the
Interstate Commerce Commission for
authority 20 build a line of road from
West Palm Beach across the state
of Florida. The authority was
granted on condition that construc-
tion be started before July I, and
completed by December 81, 1925. The
roads petition for permission to re-
tain excess earnings was denied.
Cost of construction was estimated
at &6,237,911, with gifts and grants
estimated at 81 100000.
The commission warned against an
tables in Florida as a result of the
building of the new road, but cited
development of other Florida inter-
ests as justification for the new line.
Commissioner Eastman, dissenting,
held that the only justification for
the building OF the road was that it
would be a valuable extension of the
that the authority be withheld until
the question could be given more
consideration
The Seaboard Air Line road has al
ready applied to the Interstate Com
merce Commission for permission to
finance the new construction, and to
take over the project at it's compile
ton.
The Atlantic Coast lines and the
Florida East Coast railway stated
that conditions in Florida did not
warrant construction of the line, but
at hearing held in Florida no pro-
test was made.

MANHATTAN DAYS AND NIGHTS
By Herbert Corey

NEW YORK, May 24-There was a
crowd at 42d street and 5th avenue.
OF course, there is always a crowd
there. Forty thousand cars pass that
corner every day. A million people,
more or less, jam over it. But this
was an extra special crowd.
There's a man in there dealing
three-card monte on a spread-down
newspaper" said a man on the edge.
Every one who heard him grinned.
But those inside the ring were bet
ting. The word was passed back
that it was a square game, because
a man had just bet $500 and won
$1,000, And got away with il. No
one of that sophisticated group of
insiders had ever heard of cappers
and stalls. apparently. County fair
stuff seems to go big on the avenue.
After all, folks are just folks, no
matter where they are.
The one thing that money cannot
buy in New York is exclusiveness,
because just as soon as thing gets
to be really exclusive some one with
more money comes along and crashes
the gate. Yet one must make
York society. They make their ruin
pay dividends.
Let us have a very exclusive little
restaurant" said they to each other,
"and keep out the rummies."
So they found a cook who directs
silk hat and kid gloves, so to speak,

tural features of their little restau-
rant and $4,000 on wall paintings

thing to prepare-costs about as
much in the little restaurant as 1t
would in one Of the walled cities of
Tibet Still the rummies came and
spent money like synthetic gin and
knocked eCstatic elbows with the
leaders of society.
The leaders are not as worried as
you'd think. They have incorporated,
and the little restaurant is earning
dividends on a ffrst-rate national
bank.
Kenneth L. Roberts of the Satur-
day Evening Post is laughing about
his experience with Charlie Chaplin.
His mirth is not uncomfortable. how
ever. Between spasms he swells red
and light froth appears on his lips.
''Mr. Roberts," says a friend, Wis

mind the writing of a few articles
about the movie people who live
there.
would you like to have a talk
with Charlie Chaplin? asked one of
the magnates in dialect.
Mr.. Roberts said yes he would.
But Mr. Chaplin sent word that IL he
speak, with lot of the hoi polloi of
moviedom, he must decline. If Mr..
Roberts would agree to devote the
entire article to him, Charles Chaplin,
he would consider the matter If he
decided to receive Mr.. Roberts, he
would send word by the court cham
berlain when Mr.. Roberts might wait
upon him.
Which is why Mr.. Roberts is taken
with a strong shuddering when he
hears the Chaplin name.
