Lloyd George, one-time wizard at
the making of political medicine, is
losing his knack. His proposed land
legislation is too radical for the
liberals and too liberal for the
radicals and George is between the
two stools.

TO GET
SAVING OF So
AN ACRE

Phoenix, Ariz., Aug. 14.-Sav-
ings Of approximately So an acre
to the farmers of Arizona viii re-
suit from the victory won by the
state in obtaining reduction in
the interstate and intrastate class
freight rates in Arizona accord
ing to figures compiled by rate
experts. The new class rates
which are about 80 per cent low
er than the present class rates will
go into effect on October /. It
is estimated tht the citizens Of
Arizona will save more than ST.
100000 annually under the new
rates Of which the saving to the
farmers is a part.
The leader in the fight to OBJ
tain the reductions in the rates
was Amos A. Belts, member of the
Arizona Corporation Commission
and candidate for the Democratic
nomination for congressman from
Arizona. Throughout the enire
fight Of nearly three years to OBJ
tain the rates in which Mr.. Belts
and his associates were arrayed
against the best legal and rate
talent the railroads had, Mr.. Belts
was the directing genius and it is
due to his efforts that the case
was won.
The appreciation Of the farm
ers Of Maricopa county for the
victory which will save them about
So an acre in freight rates on both
produce shipped by them and on
supplies shipped into the state
which they use, is expressed in a
letter written to Mr.. Belts by D.
B. Wiley, manager Of the Mari
copa county farm bureau. The
appreciation expressed by Mr..
Wiley is similar to that Of the
other farm bureaus in the state.
Mr.. Wiley's letter to Mr.. Belts
written under date Of July 8,
1925, follows:
"My dear Mr.. Belts:
81 have been requested by the
Arizona State Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton, the Maricopa County
Farm Bureau and the Salt River
Valley Water Users Association,
representing approximately 10000
farmers and their families, to ex-
press their appreciation of your
efforts in securing a general re-
duction Of class rates in Arizona
and between Arizona and adjacent
states.
"These new rates when they be-
come effectite on October 1st.,
this year, viii be a greater help
to the farmer than any other econ
omic adjustment that has ever
been made in the history Of our
state. We appreciate the fact
that this case was won over almost
insurmountable barriers and that
your excellent knowledge Of con-
ditions in Arizona and your un-
firing efforts has been greatly
responsible for the victory. We
do not wish to discredit the eff
forts of other traffic men and
public spirited citizens in this
case, but we feel that your lead

INQUIRY
OF BIG BAKING
MERGER ASKED

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Senate in
vestigation of the recently formed
Ward Food Products corporation was
proposed in resolution introduced
to-day by Senator LaFollette, repub-
lican, wisconsin.
The resolution also would authorize
investigation of the National Food
Products corporation and all compan,
les directly or indirectly controlled
by William B. Ward, who, with his
associates, organized the Ward Food
Products corporation.
Referring to the Ward Food Pro
ducts corporation, the resolutions
charged that the purpose of this
food trust is to control all stages of
production and distribution of food
from the farmer to the consumers
table"
Such a combination, it held, would
create a monopoly in the prime ne
cessittes of life, control the domestic
markets, and thereby be in position
to dictate the price of farm products.

From $500 to 5000 tourists day
are flocking into Havana, cuba, and
+be great majority of them come
from Florida, George E. Buxton, To-
cal produce dealer, who has just re-
turned from trip to that city,
states.
There are several so-called ferry
boats which run from Key West to
the Cuban city in about five hours
and a half and these are always
crowded with travellers anxious to
see that attractive island, according
to Buxton. Although only passing
two days in Havana, the local resi-
dent enjoyed many of the wonderful
features of that city and most OF all
was awed by the modern structures
and splendid sanitary systems Wh1ch
the Americans have established there.
Buxton left Douglas about three
weeks ago, going first to New Or
leans for the Western Fruit Jobbers
association convention which lasted
three days. From the southern port,
he set sail for Havana, passing Two
days viewing the various buildings
and resort places. New buildings Of
all sorts are being built in Havana
the Douglas man found, but for the
most part, the American contractors
are preserving the Spanish archi-
tectural features in these structures,
