away from that old theory that the
policemans job is to force the law
down our throats, and beginning to
realize that law enforcement really
depends upon that slow-moving, in
coherent, but in-the-long -run-right
mass of people called the public. If
majority of the public chooses to
oppose the police, the latter are pow
erless.

After telling DR.. Harriss of an in
terview Henry Ford had once given
me. in which he had predicted the
doom of the big city, and reminding
him of a recent speech in which Pres
ident Coolidge had expressed some
doubt as to whether the disadvantages
of the big city were not greater than
its advantages, l asked this author
ity on city planning whether he also
considered the big city to be doomed.
"On the contrary" he replied, the
big city is just coming into it's own.

it is explained. The agent appointed
by the Government for that purpose
will then take care of the preparation
of the memorial and all other docu-
ments required; but owing to the fact
that it takes considerable time to
gather all the evidence and prepare
the individual memorials, claimants
are urged to act promptly.
In fact, if they do not act within
the prescribed time they will "be
forever barred" A recent notice
part: THE attention of claimants Is
especially invited to the fact that
unless these claims against Mexico
are filed before the commission hav-
ing jurisdiction thereof and within
the time provided In the respective
conventions, they will be forever
barred. Claimants are, therefore,
urged to present their claims to the
Department of State without delay.
At the organization meeting of the
General Claims Commission, held in
this city on August 80, 1924, former
Secretary Of State Hughes made this
significant utterance: "Once more
there is indicated in this hemisphere
the determination to find appropriate
and peaceful solutions of interna-
tional questions. The con-
vention under which you are organ

ment in every line of which breathes

OF fact. speeding up traffic is the chief
solution to the problem"
After reminding DIR. Harriss that
Chief Collins Of Chicago was in favor
of abolishing all parking in the busi-
ness sections of his city and that Phil
adelphia was actually going to put
such a ruling into effect, / asked him
whether or not he was in favor of
abolishing parking.
NO" was his immediate and posi-
tive answer. That is an extremely
foolish proposal. 1t would sour a
great mass of the public and add to
the congestion of the streets. If a
man has no place to park, he simply
cruises. He swings around and
around the block until he picks up his
passenger, his friend or his employer.
In other words, he adds to the num-

ed and the indicator is shy of 130 900
new laws by only a few hundreds.
Joyously, too, are functioning more
than 5000 county boards. Like the
other municipalities, the counties pass
a great many local laws. Figure them,
however, at only one new law each
month and the half-year's output runs
to nearly 10000. Add that total to
the 100000 already run up.
The result shows that we are blessed
during the first six months of 1925
with not less than 1900 new local
laws. What does it mean?
1t means, on the average, 1000 new
laws a month.
One thousand new laws every work
Ing day of the year.
In reality, the number is greater.
The big chance is that the total num-
Der of new laws is double our con-
servative estimate. Few boards of
aldermen are content with passing
only one new law month. And what
county board would feel that it had
earned it's salt, even though it's serv-
Ices were without salary, if it passed
only one mesaly law every 80 days?
Information kindly placed at this
correspondents disposal by the
mayors of so representative cities of
more than 10000 population attests the
conservatism of the estimate. As the
entire list of new laws enacted by
these so cities is too long to reproduce
in full here, Is typical cities have been
selected. Some enacted many new
local laws, some were sparing to mig
gard with legislation.
The record shows that these cities
enacted the following new laws be-
tween January and April of the cur
rent year, both months included:
Chicago, 40; Boston, 6; Baltimore, 80;
Newark, n. j., S3; Kansas City, Mo-,

So determined was their stand that
Tuan Chi-jui's chief secretary finally
appeared to call for a truce and to

BY ARTHUR CAPPER,
Republican Senator From Kansas.

When Secretary Jardine expresses
his belief that from now on the sue
cess of farmers will hinge in the
main on their own individual and
collective effort he is right. The
heroic effort of farmers to put their
own house in order in the last five
years has been one of the classical
developments in American economic
and social life. The farmer is by ma
ture an indvidualist, and he looks to
himself for help first. All he has ever
asked is equality for agriculture. By
cutting costs, changing production
systems-there has been tremen
dous growth of diversified farming In
recent years-and studying market
demands. he has done much to meet
modern conditions-those of 1925. And
in the last few months. in the more
favored sections, he has made much
progress in paying off old loans.
There are wheat growing communi-
ties in central Kansas that have elm
mated rs per cent of the floating
debt-not mortgages - accumulated
during the lean years. Other neigh
borhoods have not done so WELL espe-
cially in places where cattle-raising is
a leading industry, but in all cases a
large part of the profits, if any, on
last seasons work have been used to
reduce old accounts. AS a result of
his intelligent efforts, the farmer has
gone a long way toward the beacon
light of prosperity.
And he has shown vision in mer-
chandising, by his efforts in working
with neighbors toward better methods
of selling. Cooperative marketing
is making tremendous strides in the
United States; nearly S9,00O.OOO,000
worth of products were handled in
that way last year. l know that fall
ures have occurred in this field and in
other cases maybe the ventures have
not been more than an ordinary sue
cess, but don't we find such examples
In all lines of American business?
There is nothing destructive in what
the farmers are doing in this line. 1T

Reports percolating in from the
West indicate that President Coolidge
made a ten-strike for himself and
his party in his recent foray into that
section. If President Coolidge him
self would express his own opinion
of the result of his trip he probably
would not deny the soft impeachment
The President enhanced his personal
popularity beyond a doubt and at the
same time gained, by contact at first
hand with Republican leaders in that
region. a slant upon a leading ques-
tion-the condition of and an outlook
for the agricultural interests-which
will be of value to him in shaping
his course for the future with re-
spect to agricultural questions.
He is said to be convinced that
there is no practical reason for ex-
pecting that the radical proposals for
farm relief can be pushed by the
radicals with any hope of success in
said, a sharp contrast between the
conditions in the agricultural West
and in the wage earners and indus
trial workers of the East.
Advantage With East =
The main difference between the
two classes is found in the purchas-
earners of the East and the farmers
of the West, with advantage in favor
of the East. The advantage is
thought to be at present in favor of
the industrialists, which accounts for
what amount of dissatisfaction there
is among the agriculturists.
The President is described-as being
intent upon getting this Summer the
best thought of the West as to how
the next Congress ought to deal with
the farm situation. During the Sum-
mer he will talk with leading prac-
tical farmers and Republican poll
ticians, who will discuss both sides
of the question. Two members of
culture, Mr.. Jardine, and the Secre-
tary of Commerce, Mr.. Hoover, will
make a series of speeches in the wheat
belt and will give study to the needs of
the producers, later recommending to
the President the best method to help
the farmers.
President Coolidge's attention was
drawn to the threat now being made
by certain members of Congress to
break: down the protective tariff on
farm products. The threat is made
that some memberssof Congress from
the Middle West will unite with the
to Democratic standards. The farm
ers are claiming that the increased
tariff on wheat Is not proving effec-
tice, because 1t protects only those
producing hard wheat against sim
liar Canadian product, but does not
help the majority of farmers.
Complain OF Tariff.
The crux Of the complaint Of the
farmers against the protective tariff
is in their claim that the tariff actual
ly works against the farmers, because
it keeps up the high price Of every
thing the farmer buys from the East
ern manufacturers, while restricted
immigration also permits labor to
maintain a higher wage scale. 1t is
not believed conceivable by politicians
that President Coolidge will lend him.

means of artificially raising the price
of the product of the agricultural
class, and his counselors must pre-
sent to him some other means of bene-
fit to the farmers than such policy.

The President is said to get much
satisfaction from the conviction re-
ceived on his Western trip of mate
rial abatement in radical sentiment in
the West. He found evidences of this
trend of public opinion In the region
he visited and in the neighboring sec.

At the beginning of the last presi.
Dental campaign and increasingly
throughout it's course, disturbing re-
ports were brought to the President s
attention of the alleged magnitude and
extent of radicalism in the West. The
President did not get into a panic
over these alarmist reports and
neither did Chairman Butler of the
republican national committee, and
some of the far-seeing leaders in the
party. Their conservatism was borne
out by the figures on election day.
The situation in this regard has bet
tered consistently since the election
and is described as being today fur
ther improved.
thoughtful voters are said to be
appreciating more and more the con-
servatiye course of the administration
that was retained in power in that
election and to give President Coolidge
credit for 1t. The Republican leaders
are of opinion that the condition of
affairs at present augurs we'll for the
success of Republicans in the next
congressional elections and the con-
tnuation of Republican policies by
keeping the party in Congress in
power for another two years, at least,
after 1926.

Ing with intent interest the signs of
the effect of President Coolidges trip
to the, West in its bearing upon the
prospects for the future. They realize,
they say, that party welfare depends
largely upon the personality of Presi-
dent Coolidge and that the main
capital of candidates for election to
the Senate and House after 1926 is
vested in the leadership of President
Coolidge and his maintaining of his
hold upon the voters at large.

Viking Ship to Come.

In honor of the one hundred and
flftieth anniversary of the signing Of
the American Declaration Of Inde-
pendence. which will be celebrated in
Philadelphia on July 4, 1925, Norway
will send over another Viking ship,
the same as was done at the time Of
the Worlds Columbian Exposition in
Chicago in 1893.
Norwegians are always glad to show
their admiration for the great Ameri-
can republic. The sending of this new
ship is in the hands of a committee Of
Norwegians and Norwegian-Ameri
cans. The ship will be a replica Of
the famous Gogstad ship in Oslo and
will be named the Left Erikson. The
route across the Atlantic will be the
one followed by the vikings in early
