Maggie Chairman
OF Business Mems
Comm. on Agriculture

Washington, Nov. 2;S.--tP) - An
nouncement was made tonight of the
acceptance by Charles Maggie of st.
Louis Of the craftsmanship Of the
business mems commission on agri-
culture, being formed by the national
industrial conference board and the
chamber of commerce of the United
States to protect the permanent ma
tional interest in sound and pros
porous agriculture"
Nagel, a former secretary Of COM
merce and labor of the United States,
will head the commission in a study
of the farm situation with view to
formulating q national program for
: cooperation of all economic groups In
the interest Of agriculture. Other
members of the commission will be
announced soon.
1.-THE relation of agriculture to in
duStry, to commerce, to foreign trade,
to transportation and finance" said
joint statement by the two organ
izations tonight, must be thorough
ly studied if a well-balanced national
economic development is to be assur-
ed for the future.
"The farming industry as whole
seems not to have been as prosper
GUS as other occupational groups
since the United States began to
change from a dominantly agricul-
tural to an increasingly industrial
and commercial nation. This has Gre
ated a situation which forms one of
our most difficult economic problems
and cannot be neglected without in
viting serious consequences to our
national economic progress.
1--WE need to develop and secure a
sound national agriculture that will
progress in full harmony with indus
try and commerce toward greater
national economic strength and pros
uerity"

Ontario to Vote
On Dry Question

Ottawa, Nov. 27-Next Wednesday
Ontario willdecide whether to adopt
government control of the sale of
liquor or remain under the partial
prohibitory law now in effect.
The fight has been one of great
bitterness with political party lines
broken to a greater degree than in
any previous provincial contest.
Those in favor of government control
are confident that they will win and
that Ontario will repudiate prohibit
ton as have the four western prov
inces and Quebec.
The Conservative government in
power in 1919 called for a plebiscite
on the liquor question, and there
was an enormous majority for prohi-
bition. although the government was
defeated at the election held on the
same day. In 1921, another plebiscite
gave a majority for prohibition of
5000, and on the same question in
1924 the majority was less than 3d.
900.
Much difficulty was found in en-
forcing the law, as bootlegging and
illicit distilling steadily increased. In
1925 the government increased the
strength of beer that could be legally
sold to "A per cent Of alcohol, but
1t did not satisfy the public.
The Conservative government
which came into power in 1923 dis
solved the Legislature last month
and appealed to the electors for re-
election on a policy of government
control, contending that the exper-
fence of such a system In the western
provinces showed 1t was a more ef-
fective temperance measure than
prohibition.

Threat of Political
Upset If Farm Relief
Is Not Forthcoming

Washington, Nov. 2S-(P)-A veil
ed warning that failure to enact
farm relief legislation might result
in a disturbance of the political
complexion of the nation was made
tonight by Representative Dickinson,
Republican, of Iowa, in protesting
against the action of the national in
dustrial conference board and the
United States chamber of commerce
in forming an agricultural fact find
ing body.
He was disposed to believe that the
Joint commission lis not to get more
|, information but to filibuster against
passage of a genuine farm relief
bill at the approaching session of
congress"
"The farmers are not entirely be-
reft of power" Mr.. Dickinson said.
"They can still vote. They are still
an absolute political power in many
states and irresistible balance Of
power in many others. I pray that
they may not be driven to the use of
class political power-but there Is an
extremity of discrimination beyond
which they may not be pushed with
with his property values reduced,
his crops made Improbable, the pur-
chasing power of his dollar below
par, the farmer Is not fool enough to
believe that these things are visi-
tation of Providence. He knows
these things are largely the direct
outcome of manipulation and dis
elimination in economic political
policies of the nation which are eff
fecting a redistribution of wealth
between classes, with himself the
victim.
HE is not going to keep quiet
about it and he is not going to stay
at home and slop the hogs while
these eminent industrialists ques-
tionnaire throughout the country to
find out how much some people don t
know about the farm problem"
Mr.. Dickinson suggested that if the
conference board of the chamber Of
commerce wished additional facts
about the agricultural situation they
need only appear before the house
and senate committees, the members
of which "know more about the ag-
riculturaI problem than any COM
mission these two business organiza-
lions can appoint"

Philadelphia, Nov. 27-P)-Revi-

nation one billion dollars a year, Dr.
Godfrey Dewey, Harvard University
professor, told delegates to the Eng
fish language congress today.
He followed his announcement
with concrete scheme. The new
system would include "a consonants,
Is vowels, four dipthongs and sign
for the word "the," which il itself
took up per cent of all the words
in the printed page, he said.
Under the new system long words
would be spelled with a few letters,
words such as through" being ex-
pressed in three symbols. Millions
of tons less of print paper would be
needed, it was said, and huge sums
would be saved in type conlposition.
