speech which Assistant Secretary Of
Agriculture Dunlap made on Feb.
before the Farmers Grain Dealers
Association Of Illinois. at Jacksonville.
when he declared that never before
had farming been placed at so great
q disadvantage in comparison with in
dustry, commerce and labor.
''Now agriculture alone is suffer
ing" Dunlap asserted, "and these
others are enjoying the greatest pros
perity ever known. Instead of the
farmers purchasing power increasing
in 1926, as we had hoped it would,
we find that at the close Of the year
it was below the average Of 1928,
1924 and 1925. The total value Of
crops in 1926 was over billion dol
lars less than that Of 1925, and bill
lion and q half less than in 1924"
Dunlap declared that cooperation
among the farmers in marketing their
products had been the most beneficial
measure yet tried for improving the
condition of their industry.

LEGISLATORS OF
TEXAS EXPELLED
ON BRIBE CHARGE
Holds Up OptOmetrist
With License Bill

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 9.-The leg
islature today by an unanimous vote
of the House expelled two representa-
tives, r. A. Dale and H. r. Moore.
This action followed their arrest
few days ago by Captain Frank
Hamer and Tom Hickman, state
rangers, for accepting bride by w.
w. Chamberlain of Houston, legisla-
tive representative of the State OPP
tometrist Association.
The Legislators were caught in
trap, according to testimony before
the committee of the House.
A bundle of $1,000 in marked bills
was passed into the hands Of Dale,
who was arrested Immediately there
after. Moore's arrest quickly fol-
lowed.
According to the testimony, Dale
and Moore had promised to kill a bill
introduced by Moore taxing optome-
trists, which was pending before the
House Committee on Revenue and
Taxation.
Testimony was taken by separate
committee of the legislature, which
recommended that Dale and Moore be
expelled.
Argument on the committees re-
port to the House lasted two days.
The vote for Dale's expulsion was 1873
to 4 nays, and on Moore's expulsion
1879 to 15 nays.

This measure was clause in the

Lowered Value.
1t was used for the first time in the
cross-examination of Ralph T. Crane,
New York Banker, head of the securi-
ties department of Brown Brothers
and Company, although it had become
part of the record in Detroit.
Over vigorous objections from John
w. Davis, advisory counsel for the
former stockholders, the board of tax
appeals permitted testimony by Crane
that this restriction would have been
very important element" to any
one buying the stock.
Best Investment.
Crane insisted, however, that il
would not reduce his value" esti-
mate, which was mot less than $4,000
per share.
This is the value claimed by Sena-
tor James Couzcns, of Michigan, and
the other former stockholders, and
agreed to by the government in 1919.
They sold out to Henry Ford in 1919
for $13,500 per share. To reduce the
1913 value to $500 per share would
add $4,000 a share to their taxable
profits on the deal.
Crane declared it was impossible to
find any company to compare, as an
investment, with Ford's.
Ford Satisfied.
Business conditions in America are
"as solid as a rock, Henry Ford de-
clared today after a visit with presi-
dent Coolidge at the White House.
He called to pay his respects to the
president.
Ford looks for no diminution on in

leaves this afternoon to visit Thomas
A. Edison, who will be so years old

The suit itself does not directly in
volve Ford. He is not on trial, and
though in Washington, takes rather
non-commital attitude towards it all.
Couzens is the early financier of the

to be no particular friendship towards

New Sigman Plot Seen
In Figewitz's STORY"
To Judge 0. Rosalsky

Joseph Figewitz, who was sen
fenced on Jan. 28 last by Judge
Rosalsky in general sessions to an in
discriminate term at Sing Sing was
brought back to New York Tuesday
and appeared again before Judge
Rosalsky.
According TO unverified reports he
told the judge that he twas willing
and ready to tell the grand jury the
truth as to the identity of officials
who had instigated assaults against
men opposing the union and who had
selected him and others to commit
them"
After these statements, Judge
Rosalsky ordered that Figewitz be
kept in the Tombs until he could tell
his story to the grand jury,
Assistant District Attorney O'Brien
disclosed yesterday that within the
last few days the grand jury has
filed indictments against two mem
bers Of the union.
One man had already been arrested
during the strike but was released for
lack of evidence.
According to the leaders Of the
joint board of the International Gar
ment Workers Union and other well
informed people, Figewitz is now
being used by Sigman and his clique
as a new method Of attack against
the left wing in the needle trades.
Unable to win the support of the
membership, they are now trying to
terTorize the left wing followers.

Takes All He Can.
The Wrigley Co. shows up the iok-
er in the statement that private initia-
tive, stimulated by the profit motive,
most effectively promotes the public
interest in industry. Wrigleys pur-
nose IS exactly that of the old robber
barons. He aims at the pocketbooks
OF the workers. He campaigns with
psychological weapons TO extract
money from those pocketbooks, as
much as he can get, for his own profit.
This is the object Of all private bust
ness, although in other lines greater
apparent service to the community

Form of Hypnotism.
The $50,000,000 educational fund.
which the workers have provided to
enable Wrigley to persuade them to
chew gum, Is just a small part Of an
advertising bill Of perhaps $4,000, 0o0,-
coo which they arc footing annually.
The pretense that this is worthly
spent for educating the peoples

age.

In the last five years Wrigley has
made profits totaling over 100000
600 on common stock carried on his
books at S15,000,0O0. This is more
than 1850 on the book value of his
investment. If we take into account
stock dividends in 1917 and 1922 his
5-year return really amounts to
about 1900.
Good to Stockholders
Wrigley has always paid generous
cash dividends. From 1914 to 1919
the rate was 1860; from 1920 to 1923,
2AGo; and from 1924 to date, $3.50 a
year. Without allowing for stock
dividends Wrigley has paid 5000 in
cash since 1914.
Wrigley has devoted millions OF
dollars, taken from the pockets Of the
workers, to persuading them to chew
sticks Of gum by the billion. To the
end Of 1923 he had spent $40,000.000
in various advertising. Nearly ST.
100000 went in years TO get the
public to demand Doublemint.

he resulting demand for chewing
gum is reflected in figures showing
the capacity Of Wrigley's plants. His
Chicago plant has daily capacity TO

Brooklyn plant can produce 100000

hNE OF the most interesting
~ sections of the speech by DR..
Nicholas Murray Butler, punctur-
ing another hole in "Silent Cal"
Coolidge's presidential aspirations
for 1928, dealt with the admitted
lack Of difference between the re-
publican and democratic parties.
1t was like the ghost of the late
Frank Munsey, great newspaper
publisher and large holder of steel
trust stock, speaking. While alive,
Munsey repeatedly urged the
elimination of pretense at differ
ences between the two old parties
thru the marriage Of the elephant
and the donkey. The combination
would bring together the best con-
sentative elements in both organi-
cations and let the liberals, insur-
gents, progressiyes, or whatever
else they might call themselves,
wander wherever they might choose.
In addition to being a kick for
Coolidge, in the place where he sits
down, Buffers speech is also an
other smart slap in the face for
the pie-counter politicians of the
LaFollette group in congress, who
continually seek to trip up work
ers and farmers headed for indie
pendent political action. Labor is
told by these adventurists in the
Wall Street political organiza-
tions that it can get what it wants
thru one of the old parties. In
North Dakota it is the republican
party that feels comfortable for
the Sorlies, the Fraziers and the
Nyes. Just across the state line
in Minnesota, the effort was made
to stampede the Farmer-Labor
forces into the democratic party.
DIR. Butler says:
''The names republican and
democrat as used nationally are
now merely titles of two tradi-
tional voting groups, the members
of which groups are quite as va
ried in their policies and prefer
ences as the two parties themselves
used TO be.
"The political tactics of the mo-
ment seem to be not to find out
what is right in principle, what is
required by public needs, but what
some one who calls himself by the
name Of the other party wishes to
do and then to oppose that, what
ever it may be.
1.-THE democrats at Washington
who oppose President Coolidge
when he is right because he is
republican, are in the same boat
as the republicans in New York
who oppose Governor Smith when
he is right, just because he is a
democrat.
"The voters who call themselves
republican are doubtless in consid-
cradle majority in the nation, but
they will not be so in 1928, unless
at that time the voting masses be
presented with issues that are
real, that are honest and that are
prosecuted with courage as we'll
as with intelligence"
=
That shows that Butler has lost
none of the language of political
film flam. He doesn't say, in his
speech, that he wants to be
presidential candidate on the
ticket of a united reaction, but
that is the meaning of his utter
ances, and when he had completed
his speech, according to the New
York Times, mention was made
of his availability as standard

Butler Says Difference

By ]. LOUIS ENGDAHL.

bearer of the party in the nation"
Butler thinks that the votes will
so to the party that stands square,
ly on three issues, prohibition, the
relief OF the farmer and foreign
policy.
Butler, the republican, claims to
be as wet as AL Smith, the demo-
crat. 1t is easy to drum up some
fake farm relief program, or at
least make q promise Of one. AS
for foreign policy, it is on this is
sue that Butler plays his trump
card, thinking perhaps that it is
too intricate an issue for the vot-
ing masses to understand.
1t was under the dollar diplo-
macy" of the republican party, es-
pecially from the period Of the
Spanish-American war, during the
Mckinley regime in 1898. down
thru the tempestuous career of
Theodore Roosevelt, punctuated by
the rape Of Panama, followed by
the four years Of William Howard
Taft, who had taken a post-grad-
uate course in the workings of
American imperialism, as governor
general of the Philippines, that is
dear to DIR. Buffers heart.
DR.. Butler now reverts to these
good old days of the iron fist adj
vancement of american business
and material prosperity" in other
lands.
DR.. Butler, therefore, would
rather have man like Senator
Claude Swanson, of Virginia, with
his pro-League of Nations and pro-
World Court position, in the repub-
lican party than Senator William
E. BOrah, of Idaho, who is at weak
kneed cross purposes with the
present Coolidge administration in
its aggressions against Nicaragua,
Mexico and China. Butler wants
republican party that hits on all
cylinders at all times for the al
mighty dollar.
To get such a party means the
breakup Of the two old parties as
they exist at tic present time. Ii
this is the development of the
American party system, then there
viii inevitably arise a sort Of
liberal" party, that will be out
cunning for labor support, like the
Lloyd George outfit in England in
its early days, that even included
many prominent labor officials,
just as both the republicans and
democrats have various sections of
the labor ofticialdom in tow in this
country.
The problem, therefore, is not
only TO understand that both the
capitalist parties are of the same
flesh and blood. 1t is also neces-
sary to know that any offspring
from this bipartisan combination,
even tho it be labelled 'liberal,"
will olso develop as a devout sup
porter of the capitalist social order.
The re-alignment of political
forces that is taking place thruout
the nation must result in the
strengthening Of the Labor Party.
Only thru the development of in
dependent political action on a class
basis viii the workers and farmers
be able to fl hit for their own in
terests, just as DR.. Butler again
proposes to solidify, centralize and
strengthen the political forces Of
American capitalism in its present
stage of imperialism, with interests
in every far-flung corner Of the
globe.
