Teams Clash For
State Title
BY United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 27.-Bak-
ersfield and Fullerton High school
elcvens were to clash here today
for the 1927 prep school grid title
Of California.
A great record for the season to
date, coupled with a formidable as
sault, made Bakersfield the favor
ite. 1t has scored $40 points to op-
pOnents 19.
In weight the drillers will also
hold the advantage. They will top
the Fullerton lads 10 pounds to the
man.
The game is expected to hit its
pace in the second half. Fullerton
has shown that it is not fast
starter, but against Covina and
Santa Maria staged a brilliant see
ond half comeback to win out. 1t
is this reserve power that has kept
it in the running.
If past performances alone de-
cided the outcome Bakersfield, by
virtue of its % to 0 victory over
Fullerton in an early season prac-
tice game, woulG have everything
its own way. Put Fullerton is be-
lievod to have developed greatly
since that contest.
All eyes will be ccntered upon
Frenchy'' Uhalt, Of Bakersfield
and "SparEy' Adams, of Fuller
ton. They are the backficld threats
and will carry the greater share of
the burden although they will have
capable aid.

Political Scheming Imperils Farm Relief

While its details have not been made public
it is understood that the measure when it
reaches the light of day will contain neither
the equalization fee principle which is SUD.
ported by the Farm Bureau Federation nor
the socalled debenture plan advocated by the
National Grange. 1t will, however, provide for
a Federal Farm Board to aid in the handling
of the surplus crops, particularly the EXPORT.
able surplus, and for large revolving fund
to be used for this purpose. This fund will be
provided by the Federal Government. Further.
more, the bill will deal with all kinds of farm
produce, rather than with the five staple crops
mentioned in the old McNary- Haugen bill.
The aim of the who are seeking agri.
cultural legislation at the present session, with
the idea of enacting it into law, is to frame a
measure which will be of benefit to the farmers
and at the same time receive the approval
of the President. Certain features of the old
Fess bill, which recognized as the admin
istraton farm measure in the last Congress
are likely to be included in the compromise bill,
it is said.
Charges and countercharges are passing
the rounds, accusing some of the leaders of the
farm organizations of seeking to feed fat their
own personal ambitions, rather than to bring
about farm relief legislation. For most part,
these charges made privately today. But
once Congress meets and discussion of the farm
problem reaches the floor of the House and
Senate, there is likely to be sharp criticism of
several Of these leaders, and charges lodged
against them that they are playing politics
with the whole matter
The effect of these quarres to date has
been to divide the forces supporting farm legis.
lation. A strong drive by the administration
forces, uniting with themselves one of the fac.
tions in the hitherto opposing camp may bring
the passage of bill. II such q bill can be
passed, the situation politically will be changed
almost as radically the economic situation
of the farmers.
Senator Brookhart is not one Of those who
shudder at the idea that the Federal Govern.
ment should meet some of the losses, il any.
incurred through the marketing of surplus
farm crops. He recalls that when the rail.
roads were turned back to the owners, after
the Government had held control of them dur.
ing the war, the Government put up s529 0O0,.
600 to aid the railroads, which was in effect a
direct subsidy He does not see why the Gov.
ernment should not be as generous to the
American farmer as to the railroads He points
out that in 1919. the last year of the operation
OF the railroads by the Government. operatinr

MEXICO HELD RICHEST NATION
in RUINS OF OLD CIVILIZATIONS
Country With LIB Sites Where Relics of Pre-
historic Peoples Exist Finds Problem of Preserv.
ing Them From Curious and Vegetation Is Great. ,

Mexico Is archeologically perhaps
the richest country in the world, for
within its boundaries have been found
to date 1,178 sites where relics of one
or another sort of prehistoric civiliza-
tton exist, reports Director Jose Rey.
gadas Fertiz of the department of
archaeology of the Mexican ministry of
education.
Seventynine of these sites were
added this year and the number is
constantly growing, as further ex-
plorations are made. Most of the sites
are found by federal inspectors on
their expeditions, but private indivi-
duals often report discoveries. These
are then officially checked up.
A map is now being prepared in the
department of archaeology which will
show all the sites now known and
other information pertaining to them.
Because of the large number of
these ruins the proper care of them
Is a real problem to the Mexican gov
ernment. Only those of the greatest
scientific value and the most notable
architecture are guarded by federal
attendants, and the others are gen.
orally taken care Of by local authori-
ties. 1t is the duty of the attendants
to guard these monuments of antiq-
uity hunters and prevent unauthor-
ized excavations. as well as to keep
them free from vegetable growth,
which Is always seeking to bury them
anew. especially in the tropical re-
gions.
There are So sites Of such major
Importance, and among them are the
Maya City of Chichen Itza in Yucatan,
Teotihuacan. Toltec city in the State
of Mexico about 80 miles from Mexico
City, Militia in Oaxaca. Cempoala.
Palenque. xochicalco and others. Last

expenses for all the roads amounted to 81, 569,.
O29.750. In the next year. with months of
Government operation and 10 months of private
operation, the operating expenses totaled
$6054,993,6S4. or $1,4S5,963934 more than in
1919 under Government operation. The rail.
roads claimed that $500 900 900 of this increa Sc
was due to increased wages allowed the rail-
road workers. But there was still difference
of sSS5,963,9S4 to be accounted for. The Gov.
ernment, Senator Brookhart points out, came
to the aid Of the railroads, in accordance with
the terms of the Esch- -Cummins transportation
act and actually paid them $529 900, 900.
X X X
In reply to suggestions that the Government
was in way responsible to the railroad own.
ers in the postwar period, since it had taken
over their properties. and that the Government
had not taken over the farms, Senator Brook
mart insists that the Government virtually
took control Of the wheat farmers when it fixed
the maximum wartime price for wheat
Through the price fixing for wheat he con.
tends the Government in reality affected the
prices of other agricultural commodities all
down the line. He points out too that through
the United States Grain Corporation the Gov.
ernment dealt in wheat and made a profit of
hfty-odd million dollars, which, he SAYS, is
still in the Treasury Of the United States.
Mr.. Brookhart does not believe that great
losses will materialize through the orderly mar.
ketlng or the surplus crops. But he does be.
lieve that the Government should be willing
to stand the losses; that the farmer has right
to such consideration, since the railroads. in.
dustry, labor, have all benefited directly or in.
directly through the action of the Federal Gov.
ernment.
Despite the agitation in some of the West.

administration because of the Presidents veto
OF the McNary-Haugen BILL poll taken by
the Farm Journal of Philadelphia shows Mr.
Coolidge far in the lead choice for Pres.
dent. This, notwithstanding his 81 do not

Lowden, "the farmers friend" ran poor sec.
Ond, with less than half many votes as Mr.

Mr.. Lowden's heels. Judge Hughes received

Borah a few votes less than Hughes. The
same poll gave Gov. AL Smith of New York
a lead OF three to over his nearest COM
petitor, William Gibbs McAdoo.

farm bill or nothing, may prove not so potent

Of recent events.

-ARM aid legislation gives promise or be-
- coming a mere foot ball OF pohtics III
the approaching session of Congress
One element, which is shouting for
farm, relief is determined in reality no legisla-
ton shall be enacted, according to men who
arc in close touch with the situation 1t fears
that with the farm problem out of the picture
certain candidates for the presidential nomlna'
ton will fade. In this group are die-hard sup
porters of the equalization fee of the old NC
Nary-Haugen bill. In it are supporters OF
former Gov. Frank o. Lowden of Illinois and
Of Vice President Charles c. Dawes, both of
whom have indorscd the principles of the
McNary-Haugen bill. In order to prevent the
final enactment of farm bill at the coming
session, this group is demanding the repassage
of the measure vetoed last Spring by President
Coolidge. The members of the group feel that
even should the bill be repassed it would be
vetoed by the Chief Executive again, and that
it could not pass over his veto by the neces-
sary two-thirds vote of Senate and House.
x x X X
There is another element, equally insistent
upon farm relief legislation, which is preparing
to drive ahead regardless of the leaders of the
Farm Bureau Federation, who are demanding
the McNary.Haugen bill and the equalization
fee and the right of the farm organizations to
nominate to the proposed Federal Farm Board
or nothing. This second element has in it men
who are strongly opposed to the nomination
of either Lowden Dawes They are more
in favor, however, of passing farm aid legls-
Iation than they are interested in candidates..
They believe that it is possible to give the
farmer the necessary assistance without the
adoption of the equalization fee, which is OF
doubtful constitutonality and which might
prove a burden upon the farmer rather than
a protection to him.
To this second group belongs, for example,
Senator Smith w. Brookhart of Iowa. The
Iowa Senator is content with a measure which
provides a sufficiently large revolving fund TO
be used to help market the exportable farm
surpluses.
Senator Brookhart does not believe that
Congress should surrender its right to legislate
to any farm organization. He believes that
the members of Congress from the agricultural
States are capable of dealing with the problem
of legislation In his own State he has the
support of all the farm organizations.
