as election day approaches. There
are several factors that justify thelr
confidence. Brookhart's Democratic
opponent has repeatedly but Valnly
CHALLENGED him to debate the issues
Of the campaign. His refusal 10 meet
Porter in face-tO-face COMBAT IS
causing many former thick-and-thln
supporters to wonder what has come
over their champion, hitherto looked
upon as a maneater who could ana
would stand up against anybody ana
reduce him to oratorlcal pulp. Demo
Gratis say that Brookharts tear OF
meeting Porter is costing MN dearly.
Another sign of Brookharts slump Is
the detection of his one time power
f,l supporter, Dante Pierce, publish
err of the Iowa Homestead. Pierce
practically made Brookhart, but this
wear is letting him severely alone.
The Democrats are campaigning on
tariff reduction as the best ana
surest form of farm relief. They
hope to secure the speaking services
of Senators Reed of Missouri and
Walsh Of Montana before the cam
naign is over. Reed has sent word
that while he voted against unseat-
ing Brookhart, he sees no connec-
ton between that episode and the
present election. Porter constantly
taunts Brookhart with the failure
of brother Republican insurgents,
especially young Bob" La Toilette,
to stump Iowa for him.
The explanation is that the Republl-
can organization shrinks from bring
ing the big guns of the anti-Coolidge
batteries into action. 1owa's solid
delegation in the House of Repre-
sentatives probably will be reelected
by substantial ma jorities. BY the
irony of fate, the one man to be In
any danger at all is Gilbert N.
Haugen, chairman of the House COM
mittee on agriculture and one of the
spearheads of the McNary-Haugen
movement. His Democratic opponent,
Frank E. Howard, editor of the Alma
Era, has failed to inveigle Haugen
into a joint debate on farm relief.
Howard claims Haugen does not
really know what is in the bill which
bears his name.
The World Court is not mentioned
in the Iowa campaign, which is
marked by more than ordinary off
year apathy. Prohibition in this
rock ribbed, bone-dry State also in no.
way figures in the prevailing turmoil.
1t is farm relief all the way; not even
the neighboring Illinois primary slush
fund gets an indignant rise out of
reform-loving Iowans.

WORKHOUSE JAM
INQUIRY IS BEGUN
Public Welfare Director In
vestigates Reports of 0c-
coquan Congestion.

Investigation of congestion at the
District workhouse at Occoquan, Va,
was started today by George S. VIII
son, director Of the Board of Public
Welfare.
The situation was given serious con-
sideration by the board at a meeting
Yesterday afternoon, and, as result,
Director Wilson was authorized to
make a careful study of existing con-
ditions with a view to recommending
some measures of relief. The board S
attentio nwas called to the conditions
at the workhouse last week by Capt.
NJ. NJ. Barnard, superintendent OF
penal institutions, who made an ap-
food and clothing for the excess Of
prisoners.
Accommodations Taxed.
An unprecedented increase Of 162
prisoners in 80 days has virtually
taxed the accommodations at the
workhouse to the limit, Capt. Bar
nard reported, in addition to drawing
heavily on the 100000 maintenance
fund. AS 1t costs approximately 81
a day per prisoner, Mr.. Wilson indi-
Gated that 1t likely would be neces-
sary to ask Congress for slZable
supplemental appropriation AOI IldlIt-
tenance.
IL don't expect the overcrowded
conditions to be permanent" said Mr..
Wilson. THE present situation is
due primarily to the great number OF
prisoners being sent to OCcoquan for
violation of the traffic regulations, to-
gether with an increase in prisoners
convicted on a charge of intoxication.
The surplus of prisoners is being
cared for however, but the work
house is running behind in its .allot-
ment of funds for food and clothing"
Increase Is Rapid.
Mr.. Wilson pointed out that on Sep
tember l there were 423 prisoners at
Occoquan, and on October l the num-
Der was 5S5. The average population
at the Jail during the last fiscal year
was Alb.
Announcement was made at the
board meeting that DR.. George NJ.
Kober, vice chairman, had prepared
a comprehensive summary of the de-
velopment of all charitable. welfare
and penal institutions in the District
during the last 25 years.
Director Wilson said he thought the
summary would be invaluable to mem
bers of the board as we'll as the
House subcommittee investigating the
District.

4OB|LL|ONS ASKED
|NFRENCH BUDGET
Government Fails to Provide
for Payments en- Debt
to America.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.

By Gable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
PARIS, October 1.-THE Poincare
government has completed it's 1927
budget for France. 1t totals 100000
100000 francs. With addition of the
floating debt sinking fund and local
taxes, the total is about $4,000, 900 900.
The national revenue of France Is
estimated at between 1870 and $50
billion francs. One third of the ma
tional income, therefore, will be
taken from the people next year in
taxes-is. indeed, already being taken
for no new taxes are provided for
next year.
This is believed to make taxation
higher in France than in any other
country in the world and so high
that the burden will perhaps tempo
rarily injure the national economy.
Provision is made in the budget
for payments on the British debt
settlement and continuation Of inter
est on the commercial debt to the
United States, but no provision
whatever is made for payments on
the unratified Washington debt
agreement.
France expects to receive about
nFe Dillon francs next year as Ger
man reparations. Only billion and
a half francs of this sum is credited
in the budget. This will be applied
on reconstruction of the devastated
regions, for which some 20 billions
still are due to damaged citizens.
If, therefore, the Washington debt
settlement is ratified and payments
are begun, either new taxes must be
voted or the money must be withheld
from reconstruction.
The largest single item of the budget
is interest on the national debt, which
amounts to half the entire budget.
The project contains no definite indi-
cation of stabiliZation of the French
currency. The government still ap-
parently hopes to improve the value
of the franc before seriously taking
up the stabilization problem.
