arm Belt Is Sore

Rightly or wrongly, the agricul-
tural belt is sore.
Let those who doubt this read
what has taken place at st. Louis
during the last few days.
In that city a meeting of 300
delegates, many of them promi-
nently identified with political &C
tlvities in the South and West. has
gone on record as committed def
nitely to the McNary- Haugen bill
and as willing to forget party
lines in its support.
Former Governor Donaghev of
Arkansas tells the United Press
that, "if our legislative program
to drive the McNary- Haugen bill
through Congress fails again at
the White House, believe there is
strong possibility that an out
and-out farm party will spring
into being"
Governor Adam McMullen of
Nebraska, who acted as chairman
of this meeting, says, "It is highly
significant when men of this type
meet without thought Of sectional
lines, without thought of party
lines, and agree on a common
course of action SO vital to a major
portion of the American popula-
ton.
"This should be a distinct warn
ing to the SEVENTEEN Congress
that agriculture's demands are not
to be overlooked. We feel the case
Is clear-that it places our de-
mands on an absolute parity with
the privileges already enjoyed by
industry under the protective
tariff"

Taft'S View on Crime

Chief Justice Taft tells the
National Crime Commission that
the whole country is aroused
over the need of better legal
machinery for the prosecution of
crime.
The Baumes law" he says,
seems to indicate that the for
gotten mantle victim of murder
or robbery-.is being remembered.
We must not allow our interests in
criminals to cause us to make the
prosecution of crime subordinate
to reform"
At first glance, Mr.. Taft's view
may seem harsh and unfeeling,
especially to those who have
acquired the hahit of regarding
the law as made for criminals
only and of visualizing the crimi-
nails interest as paramount in its
administration.
AS matter of common sense
law is made for the protection
and convenience of those people
who want to do right, have no
anti-social complex and are try
ing to get along without injur-
ing their neighbors.
1t is time that they received
some consideration in the matter.
This theory of the law does
not rest on the idea of vengeance,
but of protection.
Instead of leading to more
savage punishments, as many
seem to think, it would develop q
more rational attitude toward
their extent and severity, and re-
move that element of excitability
and emotionalism which has
played such havoc thus far.

Strength Is Unknown

1t is impossible to estimate at
this time how great an influence
the desire for farm relief has
come to exercise over political
opinions in the agricultural belt.
Its strength ultimately will be
determined by the number of votes
it can control. No one knows
what that number is, but every
politician in the country, whether
on the Democratic or the Re-
publican side, is trying to guess.
Whether it leads to a third
party, to split in the Republican
ranks or to nothing more than
compromise, it has gone far
enough to be recognized as the
one outstanding factor of doubt,
perplexiy and alarm in our politi-
cal situation.

An AIl-Star Cast to Cuba

There is probably no truth in the recurring
,noors that Secretary kellogg is going to resign his
cabinet Job as head of the Department. of State.
on the other hand it does not require a Sherlock
Holmes to deduct that though he retains his title,
a mentality other than his is at work on the real
problems OF his department.
A year ago Secretary Kellogg had the bit in his
teeth, galloping up and down the Latin Americas
snorting here, kicking there, bowling over fences
somewhere else and generally making Uncle Sam the
bt of eers and sneers and cries of alarm and hate
all the way from Mexcah to the horn.
Now somebody has refined him in His snorts are
no more heard; his kicks no longer fend the air, for
the moment at least, he has been hobbled with just
rope enough to walk around his desk in Washington
and answer the telephone while somebody else does
the frnctioning.
Apparently alarmed over recent Latin American
Developments the United States now seems anxious
to put itself in favorable light before its
southern neighbors. To this end President Coolidge
has just appointed delegation Of genuinely SEN
sational caibre to represent this country at the Pan
American Congress at Havana next January
Not only does the President himself intend to jour-
ney to Cuba to open the coming congress, but he will
be accompanied by former Secretary of State Charles
Evans Hughes as chief of al-star delegation, in
Guiding Henry P. Fletcher, ambassador to Rome
Oscar Underwood, former senator from Alabama
Dwight w. Morris, ambassador to Mexico; former
Judge Morgan j. OBrien; DR.. James Brown Scott
of the Carnegie Peace fund; DR.. Ray Lyman Wilbur,
brother of the Secretary Of the Navy and President
of Stanford University; DR.. Leo. S. Rowe, director
general of the Pan-Anerican Union, and the new
ambassador to Cuba, who it is said, will be appointed
before the Pan-American Congress meets.

the treaty of Versailles to be made again the
peace of the world were at stake 1t offers
another visible proof that in Washington at
last recognizes the vital Importance of being repre-
sented south of the Rio Grande instead Of misrepre-
sented.
For the past few years our diplomacy in Latin
America has been of the buin-a China-shop variety
Vast animosities have been kinded Suspicious have
been aroused Our aims have been thoroughly mis-
construed. Non American business hunters, taking
advantage of the hostility against have managed
to corral trade which, all things being equal should

To the Editor:
One-half million for a baseball
park! The east side is to be con-
graduated. So-called near east-end
of the city, where the beautiful new
and modern structure will be erect
ed, barring failure OF the City Plan
Commission to issue a special per-
nit, can i'll afford to object after
digesting Owner Perry's plans.
A very large part Of the ground
to be included is idle and in run
down condition. In fact, that old,
vacant homestead site is an eye
sore, standing on high ground where
it leaves a bad impression with the
many tourists who pass that way.
Putting 100000 into ball park
certainly means assurance of archi-
tectural and decorative beauty for
everything in connection with the
structure, grounds, walks, driveways.
lawns, grandstand and fences.
1t is said traffic congestion will be
avoided on surrounding streets by
the club officials foresight in pro.
viding ample parking space on base
ball property for weekday demand
and for much of the Sunday attend
ance.
A league baseball team plays only
half Of its games at home.
1t is our prediction that residents
of the east side will be surprised
over the improvement a modern
park will bring to their section OF
the city.
II baseball is to live and prosper
in Indianapolis the park must set

can not play in the river bottoms.

The oil industry has been criticised for overpro-
duction AS in all other problems there two sides
to this question. When oil company leases land
from either private individual or the
oil Outn1,t Government, there is always a stipula-
D;a;If ton to the starting of drilling and
DEUtCNtO royalties to be paid. An individual
PfOOteW naturally wants the company to pro-
coed with the drilling at once in the
hope that oil may be found and taken from the
ground so that he may benefit by his royalty. The
same situation applies on Government land The In
terror Department in canceling oil and gas pros
pecting permit in Colorado recently holds that
production of oil can not be held factor in
delaying drilling operations leased public land.
The opinion written by the assistant secretary af
firms the decision of the General Land Office. The
land office said if no requirements to be made
Of permittee lessee for a given PERIOD permits
should not be issued and should be allowed to
obtain any preference right to permit by filing
application therefor. Drilling and production on
privately owned land have not been stopped and the
department can not order activities Government
land discontinued although in some cases leSsees
are on request permitted to suspend operations Thus
it can be that the production of crude OIL like
the production of agricultural crops, is in large
measure beyond the power of producers to control
1t is necessary to plant crops each year in order to
be assured of supply of food and it is necessary to
drill for oil constantly to be assured of new sources
OF supply, but neither the farmer nor the oil pro-
Queer can so regulate the output against the forces
OF nature, as to accurately balance supply with
demand.

To the Editor:
AS a spirited citizen OF our too
much prosecuted city and State, I
must take exception to your idea
of news material, as appears in to-
days issue of The Times under the
catchy heading, Wills Willing.
I confess that / consider VIII
Rogers one of our foremsot humor-
lists, and I have enjoyed, all his stun
that has appeared in Your columns
until my optics scanned the article
in question.
To me it is quite removed from
humor, and has only the earmarks
of lust another dig at our fair CITY,"
You have won considerable favor
and respect through your activities
in bringing political corruption to its
tragic end, and now that our city is
scrambling to her feet, you will do
we'll to refrain from the use Of such
stuff as this, whether it appears I'M
der the name of Will Rogers or our
able humorists, George AIDE or Kin
Hubbard.
Now is the time TO try to lift up
Indianapolis to the high plane OF
national respect and dignity that
was once hers, rather than to print
and encourage through your COL
umns such criticism and dirty digs
as Will handed out.
I believe several hundred thou
sand citizens will agree with me
that Indianapolis has had II rubbed
in quite a plenty, and should cease
to be the laughing stock Of the
nation.
Yours for giving our city a chance.
