A Weekly Panorama of Events in the
National Capital
By PETER KEEGAN
Special Correspondent of
The Belington Progressive

ONLY A MONTH more of the pre-
sidential campaign and then the cleo
ton! At this writing none of the
campaign managers are sure of any
thing but all have high hopes. Per-
sonally, if we wanted to bet on the
result we wouldn't know where to
place our money. There is still time
for almost anything to happen in the
few short weeks intervening before
the election. Hardly anyone expects
LaFollette to win, but he may get
enough electoral vote to throw the
telection into the House of Represen-
tatives. If he does that he will count
it as a victory
THE MONTH OF October should
see all the presidential candidates on
the stump, although the active cam
paigning of President Coolidge will
not be so extensive as that of La
Follettee and Davis. The President
has not wanted to leave the White
az an ioi oOullP specifics DuI HIS
managers are insisting that he go in
to the Middle West for at least one
and perhaps more speeches. LaFol-
lette is gaining ground in the Middle
West and the Republicans want to
check him if they can.
GENERAL PERSHING is still one
of the "big guns" at the War De-
partment despite his retirement from
active service. He is retaining his
old office in his capacity as Chairman
If the World War Battle Monuments
Commission and does not hesitate to
tell his former associates and subor-
dinates what he thinks of their mill
tary policies and the way they are
running the Army now that he is out
of it. After man has spent more
than two score years soldering, it is
hard, Pershing finds, to become pri-
vate citizen again.

TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

From time to time, as The Youths
Companion Historic Milestone Cover
have appeared, the Publishers have
dedicated them, each to the particul-
ar state with which the subject of
the cover was most closely associat-
ed
But now and then there has been a
subject of such general, interest
Washington's Inauguration, for ex-
ample-that the only fitting thing to
do was to dedicate it, not to a single
state, but to the Nation. Such a
Milestone Cover is to appear upon
the issue of October 9.
Franklin at the Court of Louis XVI"
was painted expressly for The Com
panion by Andre Castaigue, dean of
the worlds illustrators. The text
that accompanies the unusually i'm
portant picture reads as follows:
Franklin in France wearing his
plain homespun suit with quiet dign-
ity in the presence of an elegant and
luxury-loving Court, is more than a
figure in diplomatic history; he is the
embodiment of great national ideal
that wisdom, integrity and self-re-
spect shall stand unabashed even in
the presence of kings.
Since both the interest of the SUBJ
ject and the political faith that the
painting so shirkingly expresses are
no local or sectional, but belong alike
to the whole Nation, the Publishers
of The Companion have most happily
dedicated this outstanding Milestone
Cover to the American People.

H. EAdCtly what GO we mean By
the system p asked LaFollette. and
answering his own question, he said:
1--WE mean the combination which rules
the coal industry of this country and
which fixes the price Of coal to the
consumer."
The fact is that in the bituminous
coal industry, which comprises 50 per
cent of all coal production, there is
no single corporation or group which
controls more than per cent of the
total output. Eight thousand indie
pendent operators are in active com
petition, half of them selling coal for
less than cost; bituminous prices are
lower today than in 1916, though
wages are 100 per cent above pre-war.
2. He said: 1--WE mean the banking
combine which, through it's control of
the federal reserve board, arbitrarily
fixed interest rates and controls credit
in the interest of the big monopoly sys-
TEN. 1t initiated four years ago pol
icy of deflation, causing a shrinkage
in farm prices since 1920"
This deflation was inaugurated and
carried out under the Democratic adj
ministration. Interest rates were at
once lowered when the Republican
administration came into office. Fur
thermore the Republican administra-
ton appointed farmer on the federal
reserve board and created the irtar-
mediate credit system for the farmers
special benefit.
Mr.. LaFollette forgets that there
has been steady increase in the
prices to the farmer, as well as an
Increase in the purchasing power of
his crops, ever since the Republican
administration reversed the policy of
the Democratic administration, which
placed the farmer in the economic
situation that he was in in 1921 and
later. This is shown by the following
index numbers of the average price
of agricultural products and the in
dex numbers of the purchasing power
of the products as published by the

D. MIR. LaFOllette said: The con-
sumption per capita of such a staple
food as bread is very much less than
it was few years ago. {. 1T
means that there are many people in
cry for bread"
Bread consumption has been de-
creasing in the United States in re-
cent years, but Mr.. LaFollette dis
forts the reason. Every nation de-
creases it's consumption of bread when
fruits, sugar and other palatable foods
demanded by higher standard of
living. Senator LaFOllette attempts
to conceal the increased consumption
of other agricultural products. Under
the low standards of living in Europe
amounts to 60 per cent of the total
diet as against 20 per cent in the
United States.
The following table shows the in
crease in consumption of foodstuffs
per capita in the United States in i'm
portant lines compared with wheat:
Average Annual Consumption in
Pounds Per Person.

Wheat Sugar Lard Beef Lard

4. He said: 1--WE mean the meat
packing combination, which fixes the
price of the products of the farm
etc.
There are about 700 Independent
competing packers in the United
States. Three of the big five" to
whom Mr.. LaFollette refers, have had
to entirely refinance their business
due to enormous losses and one is in
the hands of receiver. The five
have earned less than per cent on
goods handled during the past four
years.
5. Mr.. LaFollette said tariffs must
be reduced He attacked the whole
Fordney bill and demanded all-around
reduction.
Take the tariff off dairy products
and you destroy that industry; take
the duty of Wool and you destroy the
sheep industry; take the tariff off Cal
ifornia fruits and nuts and the Amer
lean growers are at the mercy of the
Mediterranean growers. And so on
down the list. Take the tariff off
manufactured goods and the American
workingman is at once in unrestrained
xryff hn cd lnI ne
of Europe.
Mr. LaFollette said:
g. "The farmer in this country re
ceives an average of only 40 cents OF
the dollar paid by the city consumer
for farm products while the farmer
Of Denmark receives an average of so
cents"
