WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The
statement of Senator Norbeck,
Republican leader of South Da-
kota. that he is for Frank o.
Lowden, of Illinois, was inter-
preted here today as convinc-
ing notice that Lowden is verv

tion.
Norbeck has complete control
of the Republican organization
of his state. it was pointed out.
In 1920 he carried the pri-
mary there for Senator Hiram

South Dakota was the only state
to declare for Johnson. More
recently his power was tested
in a state gubernatorial contest
in which the opposition was
Overwhelmingly defeated.

HEALD TO FIGHT
RULING MADE in
HARDWICK CASE

Decision of the Appellate court
of the state handed down yester-
day granting the appeal for new
trial of Joe B. Hardwick, former
chief of police of Calexico on
charges of assault with a deadly
weapon, will be fought by the dis
trict attorneys office. Appeal
from the decision will be carried to
the supreme court of the state for
final decision.
"We will begin work at once for
the presentation of the case TO the
higher court District Attorney
Hcald said this morning.
Although several unofficial re-
ports had been returned here dur
ing the last week saying that the
appeal of Hardwick was to be ap-
proved by the Appellate court, Of
ficial notice of that court s deci-
sion was not received until this
morning at the district attorney s
office. 1t was merely a postcard
notifying the office that the court
had granted the motion for new
trial.
The opinion of the judges of the
Appellate court has not as yet been
received here and as result no Of
ficial notice relative to the grounds
upon which the new trial was grant
ed is available at this time. 1t has
been said that the court upheld the
charges of the defense that the
court had erred in failing to allow
the presentation of a pardon to
Hardwick in evidence after he had
testified that he had been convict
cd on charge of manslaughtcr in
Oklahoma. Whether or not this is
the grounds upon which the now
trial decision is based will not be
definitely known until the opinion
of the higher court is filed here.
The ease grows out of the shoot
ing in Calexico early in February
of this year of William A. Taylor,
n lettuce buyer located at the time
in FL Centre. At the trial Hard
wick admitted the shooting but held
that Taylor had reached for his hip
pocket and caused him to believe
that he was about to, draw gun.
Tavlor recovered from the ininrv.
The jury returned its verdict of
guilty four hours after receiving
the court instructions and JUDGE
Finncv sentenced Hardwick to Fol
som prison. He is at present at lib
erty under $4,000 bond.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOR
GREATER REDUCTION IN TAXES

manufacturer. Pawtucket. r. L.,
challenged the advisabilitv of
following Melons figures on
the surplus 10 De expected i'll
the treasury as a basis for tax
reduction.
He said the treasury in recent
years has grossly erred in max
ing estimates ana expressed be-
lief a $i00,000,000 reduction
would not wipe ont the surplus.
Surpluses so large as those
realized by the federal govern
ment in recent years necessarily
mean that there is being taken
from taxpayers more than is
necessary to meet the current
expenses of government, Mae
Coll declared, as chairman of
the chambers taxation commit
tee. "Thc chamber believes
proper fiscal policy requires
that federal revenues and ex-
penditures should substantially
balance.'
This was the first time in
recent years the chamber has
opposed the Republican plans of

OUTLINES
farm AID
Secretary Urges Growers
TO Organize Stabiliza-
tiOn Corporations.
MAY CREATE BOARD
Proposes Federal Farm
Body to Give Counsel
and Supervision.
BY JOSEPH S. WASNEY
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Secre-
tary of Agriculture Jardne today
urged all growers of major farm
crops to organize stabilization cor
porations to assist in placing agri-
culture on prosperity par with
other industries.
He said the government, to aid
such n move, would recommend thar
congress create a federal farm
board to aid farmers and guide
them in their problems.
Jardine $ views, made public here
today, were written for the Okla
homa Stockman and Farmer. Stabi-
lization corporations, he said, should
be established with nominal capi-
tai stock, owned by properly organ
lied commodity cooperatives.
"The corporations, under genera,
guidance of the farm board, would
take part of surpluses off the mar
ket, when exceptional seasons re-
suited in large crops and prevent
prices f-ont dropping to a1norr II.
ly low levels he said.
This farm board plan, .Tardinc
indicated, would be the major farm
relief legislation sought by the de-
partment in congress this winter.
The board. he said, would be or
ganized to supply farmers with IN
formation of supply and demand
favors affecting production and
marketing, and would have control
of revolving fund from which ad-
vances could be made to organiza-
tions.
LegisAation Needed
Jardine said legislation was need
ed to aid agriculture. He asserted
state legislation affecting local tax
alton and local banking was quite as
essential as national legislation.
National and state legislation,
"to help the farmers hclp them
selves by organized effort' should
be enacted at once, he said.
A cotton stabilization corporation
could have prevented the crash of
the cotton market last year by
buving cotton on the open marNct
'mtil :lIe market price had ris n TO
n conscrvativcly established level,
Jardine stated.
Sterilization corporations would
have saved cotton growers millions
Of dollars in 1926, he estimated. cd
ding that such operations were cs
pcciallv ADAPTED to cotton.
Stabli2ation Of prices would
automatically help to stabilize acre
agc.' he explained. "Apnroximatc-
ly SO per cent of the variation In
cotton acreage is due to the price
the year before. As a result Of
last years discouraging prices. cot
