ally" Taking the position that the
farmer already has been assisted by
n reduction of Federal taxes and that
agriculture was showing signs of i'm
proving, Mr.. Coolidge said:
1T is useless to propose temporary
expedient. What is needed is perma-
nancy and stability. Government price
fixing is known to he unsound and
bound to result in disaster. A Gov
ernment subsidy would work out the
same way.
Price fixing and subsidy will both
increase the surplus. instead of d.
minishing it. Putting the Govern
ment directly into business is merely
combination of subsidy and price
fixing aggravated by political pres
sure.
These expedents would lead logic
ally to telling the farmer by law what
and how much he should plant and
where he should plant it, and what
and how he should sell and where he
should sell it.
The most effective means of deal
ing with surplus crops is to reduce
the surplus acreage. While this can
not be done by the individual farmer,
1t can be done through the organiza- :
ton already in existence. through the
information published by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, and especially
through banks and others who supply
credit refusing to finance an acreage
manifestly too large.
LegisIated Prosperity Impossible.
'It is impossible to provide by law
for an assured success and prosperity

while it is probably impossible to
secure this result at single step, and
much will have to be worked out by
trial and rejection, a beginning could
be made by setting up Federal board
or commission of able and experienced

MURDER CHARGED
TO GRAVE ROBBER
Negro Convict's Trunk Con-
tains Women's Apparel,
Also Human Skulls.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February 19.--Discovery
of a trunk laden with women's cloth
ing in contrast with the four human
skulls found in the negro convict 8
trunk in a Detroit suburb, led to re-
newed efforts today to determine
whether James NJ. Coyner murdered
as well as robbed graves.
The second trunk was seized at
Boyle. Miss, where officials became
suspicious when a woman supposed
to be the mother of Coyner, who Is in
the Indiana State Prison, declined to
identify herself to obtain the luggage.
Investigation disclosed an assert
ment of women's apparel in the trunk,
which had been forwarded by Coyner's
sister in Chicago. It was to her the
giant convict sent a letter from the
prison, telling her to get the Michigan
trunk or it would be ''all up with me. "
Coyner Is in prison for robbing a
grave. in Hammond, Ind, last October,
but the authorities have not satisfied
themselves that he obtained the grue.
some collection only from cemeteries.
With the trunk in Michigan were
found numerous notations of women's
names and addresses, about which
Coyner has maintained surly silence.
although acknowledging ownership of
the trunk.
