Mai. Cohen Declares Recent Votes

By the Associated Press.

ATLANTA, June 10.-The forth.
coming elections will place both
houses In Congress back in the con.
troll Of the Democratic party, Maj.
John S. Cohen. publisher of the
Atlanta Journal and Democratic
national committeeman for Georgia,
told members of the State Democratic
executive committee yesterday.
''All indications point to Democratic
control of the next Congress-" Maj.
Cohen said. THE Republican, pri-
maries in Illinois, Pennsylvania and
particularly Iowa show conclusively
that the Coolidge administration has
lost it's popularity.
The agricultural West is learning
what the agricultural South already
knew-that the interest and sympa-
thy of the Republican administration
and dts leaders is centered in the pro-
tective tariff, which operates to the
advantage of certain ella sses, but adds
to the woes of the farming classes.
1T Is matter of congratulation to
us all that the Democratic party in
Georgia is more closely united and
more harmonious than it has been
for many years. Georgia Democrats
are presenting a solid front on
national issues, and on State issues
there is none of the old-time factional
bitterness and rancor. 1t has ceased
to be fashionable in Georgia for poll
tical opponents to impugn the mo-
tives and attack the character of
each other"

Labor Saving Devices
RevclutiOniZe Farming


"The outstanding feature Of Amer
lean agriculture the last Is years has
been the adoption of labor saving
farm machinery" said H. B. Walker,
professor of agriculture engineering
in Kansas State College, to an audi
ence of farm and university people
attending Farmers and Homemakers'
Short Course exercises at University
Farm, st. Paul.
"Seventy-five years ago the aver
age farm worker cared for IL acres
of crops" he said to-day the aver
age for the United States is "a acres,
Or nearly three times that of IS years
ago. Although we have only twice
the number Of agricultural workers
We had rs years ago, these workers
are caring for nearly six times the
acreage of crops"
1t was pointed out by Professor
Walker that the direct effect of these
new efficiencies and economies,
brought about by labor savink devices,
has been greater individual returns
for the farm worker, and release of
millions of workers for other pursuits,

YADEN DENIES AIM
/ TO CURB COUNCIL
Has Upheld Body, Says Pres
ident of Federation of Citi-

James G. Yaden. president of the
Federation of Citizens Associations
and chairman of the Citizens Ad-
yisory Council. issued formal state
ment Yesterday outlining his position
IN the relative activities of the two
organizations and denying reports
that he is undertaking to restrict the
scope of the council.
II have neither done nor said any
tl1;f.s that can tustifiably be construed
to mean that l favor any change in
the method of selecting the Citizens
Advsory Council or that will curtail
the splendid work the council has
done for the people of the District OF
Columbia and which 1t will continue
to do" the statement read.
'The facts are that instead of at
tempting to restrict the scope ana
character of the activities of the coun-
ell l have sought, and / believe suc-
cessfully, to extend it's sphere OF USE
fulneSs.
Functions Are Defined.
"The functions of the federation and
those of the council are so disslmiiar
that there is no room for conflict be-
tween the two bodies, in my judgment,
particularly in the minds of those who
are desirous of promoting the welfare
of the people of the District.
"The duties of the council as pro-
yided in section 3 of the organic act
creating it are:
1.-The council shall act as an ad-
yisory body to the Commissioners of
the District of Columbia upon matters
affecting said District, but 1t shall not
I'm any way restrict the activities or
abridge the rights of the declarations
hereinafter mentioned or of their re-
spective member bodies.
Scope of Federation.
THE object and Jurisdiction of the
federation as set forth in article ii OF
its constitution is:
ITO obtain the expression of the
general public sentiment upon mat
ters Of special interest to all the
citizens of the District, and to secure
and make effective their united action.
"'The jurisdiction of the federation
extends only to matters of special
interest to the entire District. and
which require concerted action.
"It will be seen, therefore, that the
functions of the council are to give
advice to the Commissioners and its
sphere of usefulness has been extend
ed to the giving of advice to the
Senate and House committees on the
District of Columbia; while the fedora.
ton, through its constituent bodies,
originates action and after approval
passes 1t on to the District Commits
sioners, the committees of Congress,
the Board of Education and the Bu-
reau of the Budget, and by its efforts
endeavors to bring about approval of
its findings, while the council usually
contents itself by considering matters
referred to 1t and giving advice on
them"
