BISHOP MOUzON ISSUES REPLY
 TO COLLECTORS
Says Unification Session Was Called According
 To Law

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 24.-- Bishop Edwin D. Mouson, chairman of the southern Methodist commission on unification in q signed statement made public here today, took issue with the bishops who objected to the date of July 2 for the special session of the general conference to consider unifi- cation with the northern branch of the church.
 Bishops Warren A. Candler, and Col lins Denny, the statement saidyr shaye objected to every plan that has been suggested, and have labored night and day to block every effort in the direc- tion of unification."
 Mot To Be Wondered At
 Bishop Mouzon further asserted that '.it is not to be wondered at, therefore that at this time they should have endeavored in every possible way to prevent the college of bishops from car rying out the win of the general con ference as expressed in the action taken at Hot Springs" (authorizing the spe- cial session).
 The statement objecting to the date of the call was signed by Bishops Can dier and Denny, U. V. w. Darlington and J. E. Dickey.
 Bishop Mouzon points out in his statement that it is the custom of the college of bishops to issue only ma jority report and this is the first in his experience minority has been is- sued efb tfw
 Statement Challenged
 The statement challenged the con tention of the dissenting bishops that a later date would more truly carry out the resolution of the general con ference of 1922 The resolution, Bishop MOnzon points out. does not specify the time at which. the special session is to be called except to say that it shall be held after the proposal shall have been adopted by the northern branch of the church. The statement says that Bishop MOHaon wrote to the chairman of each conference delegation on the subject. and received replies that were overwhelmingly" on one side of the question-that the later date would not more fully represent the will of the general conference.
 The legal aspect of calling the con- ference is disposed of quickly by Bish- op Mouz0n who says the bishops them sleves are thesinterpreters of the church laws and not outsiders mo matter how distinguished and able they might be in civil law"

all of the deportstiOns that have been made necessary by rejection at Ellis Island and other American ports.
 Great publicity has been given to the adoption by Congress of the exclusion section which aplies to all aliens ineli- gible for citizenship. This section bars from admission to the United States all Chinese, East Indians, Afghans, Bur nese, Siamese, Japanese and other Asi- atic and Malay peoples. It has been hoped by many of our citizens who feel a friendship for JaKRn and her people that an exception of Japan could be made in this exclusion section, and it was hoped that as to her the same re- suit, would be secured in other and bentler ways. Unfortunate cirum- stances, that need not be elaborated upon here, made this impossible and the exclusion section has been extended im- partially to all Asiatic and Malay na- tlons It does not, of course, apply to Government officials, tourists, students, ministers of religion, professors or their families.

Grand Rapids Assembly Adopted Lay Commit
 tees Proposal

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, May 24.--- (By Associated Press )--WilI H. Hays, former postmaster general, pre- scented a new pension plan for minis ters, missionaries and all accredited workers of the denomination at the gem eral assembly of the Presbyterian Church of the United States of Ameri- ca here today. The plan, which is the product of a years work by a special lay committee, of which Hays is chair man, was adopted unanimously by the assembly.
 If the plan is accepted by a ma jority of the 10000 Presbyterian one of the most important steps taken of the church in their old age and for their widows and orphans as well,
 Based on Salary
 The plan is based on salary and service, the minister or other eligible church worker pays two and one-half per cent of his salary annually toward the pension; the church he serves pays seven and one-half per cent. At the age of 65 he is eligible to retirement on a pension equal to half of his aver age salary, with a minimum of $6OO set.
 The resolution adopted by the assem- ply today provides tbat the Hays plan hereaffaF be the flslon bysteas of fls Presbyterian church and that it will begin functioning not later Ehan April [ I, 1926. fs $sytt Discussion of the pension plan oc. cupied most of today's session. There were some committee reports, but none of the controversial bills and overtures has reached the floor of the assembly. The assembly sidetracked efforts in. tended to lead to erection of a national Presbyterian church and school at Washington, D. C., referring q. resolu- tion on the subject to the general coun- cil. A sentiment opposed to increasing the church expenses was strongly in evidence during debate on the resolu- tion.

Is the Farmer Giving Up

HERBERT QUICK, who is well known to the readers of
IL this paper thru his special articles has published
work, "The Real Trouble With the Farmers" (Bobbs-
Merrill Company, which will interest city folks as well
farmers.
Quicks book doesn't stop with discussion of the farm
ers plight today 1t deeper than that to study the
very foundation of democratic civilization, which
Quick says is built agriculture If the farmers give
up and go to the cities, he points out civilization
must come down or be rebuilt other lines
The farm is not merely home-a place to live Quick
says. 1T is the very of life When it lost the
family sinks to the lowest place in national economy
The younger generation which refuses to 90 on with
farm life of unrequted toll is going Unto the world of
city life taking from the rural population the best minds
1t owns, and leaving the remainder to that extent intel
ectually and spiritually impoverished he warns and
adds
I'VE need not think that this is anything new in history
1t old ancient Egypt and the cities of the Meso
potamian plain.
Where the people who dwell on the land are con-
dsmned to unrequed toll it is merely matter of wears
when the whole state will find its foundations sapped and
will fall in ruin.
I'm centralized state like ours this destruction comes
from the rushing of the dspossessed and unreuuted 10
the cities The farmers suffer first then the small towns
go down, then the larger cities decay and the overswo
len centers of population deprived Of nourshment and
with lost markets, fall into the hands Of mobocracy OF
Impoverished and idle people, and the state passes into
something else"
Quicks views are worth thinking about He has been
practical working farmer himself He has given much
thought to the question of population and government
Hence, when he that democratic civilization
is danger of being engufed in the Great Ditch Of OBJ
Iivion, it is time that city folks gave thought to
this problem Of saving the farmers.
