the president declares:
"The bill would impose the burdens
Of its support to a large degree upon
farmers who would not benefit by it.
The products embraced in the plan
are only about one-third of the to-
tai American farm production. There
are several million farmers who do
not produce any Of the designated
products, or very little of them and
they must pay the premiums upon
the products designated in the bill. F"
If the farmers have a right to set
up a government bureau to fix prices
for their products, why, asked Mr..
Coolidge, have not steel, lumber, coal
and other producers the same right
Bureaucracy Coming.
Such action would establish bu-
reaucracy on such a scale as to dom
mate not only the economic life, but
the moral, social and political future
Of our people"
The insurance feature of the bill
under which the government would
insure cO-Operatives against losses by
violent price fluctuations, was char.
acterized as destructive of all order
ly processes of trade"
Unconstitutional Too.
"The main policy of this bill is al
entire reversal Of what has hereto
fore been thought sound"
The veto wac principally becaus
Of the unconstitutionality of the bill

"It is a great disappointment to
everv one who was back of real farm
relief legislation. Undoubtedly the
fight will go on, and in the end we
shall win"
Dawes Silent.
Vice President Dawes, who actual
" fathered the bill and who virtually
directed its enactment, had no com
ment.
The democrats criticized the presi-
dent.
"This veto is a surrender to the
industrial east for political purposes,
said Senator Caraway (D) Of Arkan-

The president decided that his chan

Helena-Caught in one of its peri
odic appearances on the floor of the
house Monday afternoon, Senator
Paul's gasoline regulation measure,
formerly known as the gas price-fiX-
ing bill, was passed as amended. The
vote was 81 to 80. A provision in
the bill as it passed the senate, un-
der which the state railroad commits
sion was authorized to fix a reason
able maximum price for gasoline and
other petroleum products, had been
eliminated. Consideration of the
measure occupied the house most of
the afternoon.
The promised report on the secre-
tary of states office failed to materi-
alize Monday. Chairman Moss of the
investigating committee explained
that committee was unable to pre-
pare a summary of its testimony in
time to submit report Monday af-
ternoon, but expected to do so Tues
day.
With no great changes in the meas
ure as amended by the senate bank
ing committee, the bank code was
recommended for passage by the SEN
ate Monday. The bill required two
hours for discussion, during which
numerous amendments were suggest
ed and defeated. The most important
of these were proposals to create a
deposit guarantee fund out of sur
plus and to give the bank superin-
tendent administration over banks
now in process of liquidation. Among
the amendments approved is one
which leaves the bank superintend-
ent's salary $4,000 a year and takes
from him the power to fix salaries
of employees of the Department.

Trial

na.-Investigatlon by the Min
nasota legislature of the failure of
Gov Theodore Christianson to honor
. fugitive warrant and requisition
from Montana for the return of A.
M sheldon. Minneapolis banker, is
asked in a resolution offered in the
Montana house of representatives un-
der two thirds vote Wednesday af-
ternoon and referred to the commit
tee on rules for a report in "a hours.
Sheldon. the resolution says, was
indicted in Valley county with 9TH
ers for making false reports to the
state superintendent of banks as an
officer of the State bank of Nashua
which. with two other institutions
closed last May. The resolution says
that a reouisition was issued June
II and that there have been two
hearings on the matter, the last one
September 26. The two other off
GERS of the bank were tried and con
victed.
Governor Christianson, the resolu
ton saws, "has failed and neglected
to take any action on the requisitiol
and has not honored the same"
Christensen Says Sheldon is No
Fugitive
St. Paul. - When Montana ha
proved that A. M. Sheldon, Mime
apolis banker, is a fugitive from jus
tice, requisition for his removal t
that state will be granted but nc
before, was the reply issued by GoN
ernor Christensen Thursday to
resolution introduced in the Montan
legislature.
evidently the Montana legisls
ture has been acting without full il
formation of the facts" GovernC
Christensen said. "The requisitio
of Sheldon has not been granted fC
the reason that the state of Montar
has failed to prove he is fugitiN
from justice"

early today after an opening liz

Wheat opened unchanged and oat

First frosts in the corn belt were

The battered hulk of the brig Nj
agara, flagship of Commodore Oliv-
err Hazard Perry at the Battle of
Lake Erie Is to be re-conditioned
for a last cruise through the choppy
waters of the Great Lakes.
A relic of the war of 1872, the
vessel is now rotting in the Erie
(pa.) harbor for want Of sufficient
funds needed for rehabilitation.
Decks that once were trodden by
Americas sea hero of the early
nineteenth century are now in a
state of collapse, the result of years
of disuse.
The movement to rehabilitate the
vessel and preserve the heroism of
Perry in the minds of young Amer
lea is being undertaken by group
of business men of Ohio and Penn
sylvania cities.
Funds will be raised for the re-
conditioning Of the Niagara, and
next year it is planned to take the
