PEOPLE WH0LAb0R
HAVE IT TOO HARD
This Is Opinion Expressed by
WliamstoWn Speaker

Williamstown. Mass, July 80 up
a revolt by the industrial popu-
lation against high food costs was
pictured before the Institute OF
Politics today as possibility in the
United States within the next 10
years.
Henry A. Wallace, son OF the
former secretary OF agriculture, IN
an address on the agricultural
situation. decried the grave injus-
tice that has been done to agricul-
ture during the past six years."
He predicted q food shortage
within 40 years with resultant dis
turbances that will cause industrial
centers "a thousand times as much
worry as the present farm situa-
ton" and warned that the indus
trial population might precipitate
trouble when an imminently made
quate food supply compels them to
pay an undue proportion of their
wages for food,
Mr.. Wallace supplemented these
assertions with a discussion OF the
ideal balance between urban and
rural population, the ultimate type
OF organization which agriculture
must adopt. and overproduction,
which. in the face Of lowered Eu-
ropean purchasing power. has cur
tailed the farmers profits and lev
led seriously on his patriotism.
National safety demands that at
least one-fourth of our population
be farmers, he said. foreign food
markets Notwithstanding.
THE home farmer Is the basis OF
sound national policy even though
the seaboard cities seem to like the
idea Of exporting manufactured
goods and importing foods"
Mr.. Wallace decried corporation
farming from a standpoint of hu-
man values. Il question If 1t Is
sound policy for the United States
to carry the naturalization of ag-
riculture beyond the family sized
farm" he said. Men who work on
their own crops, even though they
be only tenants. have strikingly
different attitude than union labor
producing goods for someone else"
Wonder if the men who work
eight hours a day in factory. and
get their greatest pleasure outside
working hours, are as complete and
worthwhile human citizens as farm
ers working twelve hours a day at
half the wages"
He questioned the government re-
clamation projects and encourage
ment OF increased food production
when the farmers are already SUI
fering from surplus of wheat,
hogs, and cotton. together with a
postwar reversal in credit balances
between this country and Europe.
Contrasting agriculture with other
industry, Mr.. Wallace said:
Farmers today comprising about
one-fourth Of the country's popula-
ton receive about one-tenth Of the
national income. The agricultural
industry after paying for labor
about 50 per cent above pre-war
rates has return on capital invest
ment (Which incidentally has been
shrunl by about twenty billion since
1920 Of 3 or per cent whereas
corporate industry, after paying Its
labor more than twice the pre-war
wages has a. return on its capital IN
vestment (Which has been increased
by more than 20 billion since the
wary If around twelve per cent, as
calculated. This would seem to in
dictate beyond doubt that for the
time heing. city industries are
catering more satisfactorily than
the farmers to satisfying human
needs"

ARIZONA GETS RETURNS
FROM TAX BOND ISSUE

State Treasurer Callaghan person
ally delivered to the First National
bank of New York City on Monday,
tax anticipation bonds of the state of
Arizona for face value of $2,200,000,
the largest amount ever floated, and
received in exchange credit for 3d.
2O3, 1928, representing the capital
amount of the issue, plus the premium
paid by the purchasing syndicate and
two days accrued interest.
The first use to which the money
will be put is to take up registered
warrants drawn against the general
fund for total of approximately
$630,000. The balance will be used to
defray departmental expenses of the
state government and to provide the
schools with their appointments I'M
til the end of December, when the
taxes levied earlier this month will
have been collected.
Approximately half of the warrants
to be taken up were drawn in favor OF
highway department creditors.
| The bonds are redeemable -four
months from the date of issue, and
were sold August 10. With due al
lowance for the premium paid, the
state will pay interest on them at the
rate of 1856 per cent, as against the
per cent it pays on registered war.
rants. The difference represents the
saving to the state effected by the
transaction.

Coloring Growing
Hardwood Trees

An experiment in the coloring of
living hardwood trees is in process at
Wesley, Maine. Last year German
chemist was brought there and gave a
successful demonstration. This sum-
mer chemist from the University of
Maine is in charge of the work.
From pals of different colored
dyes, suspended in the branches of the
trees, the liquid flows down through
rubber tube to holes which have
been bored in the base of the tree.
The dye is carried to all parts of the
tree, even to the ends of the branches.
Even for the largest trees no more
than three or four days are needed to
complete the coloring process.
The dyed wood needs no paint,
stain or varnish, polishing alone Civ
ing the necessary finish. The grains
are brought out most effectively and
among the many beautiful sample ar
ticles now being made to demonstrate
the work are picture frames.

OCEAN MOVING AWAY
FROM ATLANTIC CITY

New Jersey has had little better
success than King Canute in ordering
back the sea. The state tried the
kings injunction. 1t worked, but only
in spots.
The beach front streets of Atlantic
CITY years ago are now half mile in
land, thanks to the states barriers
and the vagaries of Old Neptune. In
this instance, however, there has been
some objections to the "orders" since
hotels which once boasted of their
beach frontage now stand several
blocks from the surf.
At Ocean City, real estate operators
continue to smile as the beach moves
seward. 1t matters not to them that
their gain is at the expense of Long
port Beach, just across the inlet OF
Great Egg harbor, where the south
erly beach has been pushed back about
25 city blocks.
At most of the other important
points on the coast, the sea has had
it's way. Between Sandy Hook and
Cape May are 134 miles of broken
sandy coast, which the sea is claiming
bit by bit, year by year The assessed
valuation of this land, which has been
called the playground of the nation, is
greater than that of all the farm lands
in the state. Yet the sea has eaten

Long Branch, up the coast, is being
washed away. The first boarding
house of the town is under water, on

barbados against the onslaught OF

ARIZONA TO RECEIVE
$2,367,5Sl FEDERAL AID
In NEXT FISCAL YEAR

Of $2,9OO,00O worth of federal aid
available for expenditure during the
fiscal year 1928 on Arizona high
ways, figures obtained Monday at the
state highway department show that
$2,367,581 will be earned, under the
plan set up in the pending highway
budget.
Before taking up the budget for
consideration, the commission an
nounced through Chairman Perle Nc
Bride that it would be guided by the
necessity for making every dollar of
state funds earn as much federal aid
as possible. The basis of participation
is 1913 cents of federal money and 27.8
cents of state money for every dollar
jointly expended, and the totals given
above show how far the commission
was able to travel toward realization
of its purpose.
The difference figures to $532,41S
short of full participation, but all of
the money left unearned will be avail
able for another year. On July /
1928, another $1,053,000 of federal
aid will become available, making a
total of $1,585,418.

WORLDS CHAMPION
ALIMONY MARTYR
ASKS FOR FREEDOM

Willows, Calif.-Sam Reid, star
boarder at the Glenn county Jail,
worlds champion "alimony martyr"
and red-haired young man who has
had quite a disturbing influence on
politics hereabouts, is at it again.
Not content with costing county
officials several thousand votes and
many sleepless nights, Reid has deter
mined to reopen his crusade for "free-
dom without concession" by appealing
to Governor Young.
Linking with his clemency plea a
request that the state make a thor
ough investigation into the reasons
for his martyrdom, the 31-year-
old apostle of equal rights for men"
will petition the governor for a full
pardon.
Someone is acting loony in this
case, and I'm not the man." Reid told
International News Service recently.
"a jury Of alienists has adjudged me
| perfectly sane. | can and | won't pay.
| can be free and | won't be free.
What's the reason? Surely it is time
| the state made an investigation before
my board bill mounts to the size of the

I
of his self-imposed Imprisonment, is
adamant in his resolution not to con-
| tribute to the support of his child
while she is left in the custody of his
| former wife, who has REMARKED. He
also stands pat on his original ehal-
/ lenge of mot one cent for alimony."
| But that feature of the celebrated case
has been solved by ex-wife's remar-
riage.
In his letter to Governor Young the
"alimony martyr" declared he will
present a complete review of the ia
nous case, which began in February,
1925, when Reid was ordered by SUI
perior Judge Claude F. Purkitt to pay
his former mate for the maintenance
of their child, and refused. He will
submit his record as soldier overseas
and his record at home as a prosperous
farmer He will present evidence
which he claims proves his contention
that his former wife should not be en-
trusted with the care of their daugh-
ter.
AS further evidence of his good
faith, Reid declared he will agree to
pay more than four times the amount
for the support of little Zada May
Reid required by the court. But he
will pay it only "on condition that my
daughter is placed in a good Christian
home" Mrs. Anna l.. Saylor, newly
appointed chief Of the state depart
ment of social welfare, will be asked
to investigate the case.
Reid today is the biggest political
issue in Glenn county, according to
his friends here. One county official
went down to defeat at the, polls re-
Gently as result of his Imprisonment,
they say, and Judge Purkitt is de-
clared to be facing almost certain de-
feat unless ''the white elephant in the
county Jail" is released.
While county officials argue the
matter and seek vainly for a solution
Reid is working for the overthrow OF
unjust alimony laws" He has joined
the Alimony Payers Protective asso-
citation, a national organization com
posed of those who believe that it is
the man who pays and pays" and is
working through that association tc
break down the present system.
