The Farmers Resent

President Coolidge's raid on the Farm Loan
Board-for that is how the farmers regard the
appointment of the new members. including the new
chairman, Eugene Meyers proving another burr
under the saddle to the farmers.
Once more the Senate and the President will
battle over the confirmation of the appointments.
At the farmers conference in Des Moines held
May II and IS, at which representatives of thirty
four, farm organizations had their say, it was
resolved:
I'VE protest with every ounce of our power
against the appointment of Eugene Meyer as head
Of the Federal Land Bank System as well as the
selection Of the two other gentlemen named to this
board. These selections were made against the
protest of the farmers who own these banks and it
is our firm conviction that these appointments we're
not made in the interest of the farmers of their
banking institutions but to carry out program
nimical the best interests of the farmer and to
hamper the proper functioning of these institutions
in furnishing proper and necessary credit facilities
to the farmers of the country. We call upon the
Senate to refuse confirmation of these appoint
ments.'
The purpose of the President in appointing
Meyer the farmers understand it, is to bring the
board and it's resources directly under the head
of Mr.. Mellon.
The Farm Loan Board is being used a
stopgap for flood rehabilitation to avert the calling
of Congress in special session.

Law and Justice

Fire broke out in the top of mans house. When
the fire department arrived it found the hydrant
surrounded by pile Of curb stones being used by
city employees in repairing the street. fifteen
or twenty minutes to remove the stones and get the
water connected. BY that time the fire had made so
much Roadway that it destroyed the house. The man
sued the city for damages claiming that it was negli
gent in blocking the freplug that could not be
used promptly The city said that in furnishing water
and fire department service did accept response.
biy for the efficient performance of these services
and that it could be held for the neglect of its
workers in blocking the fire hydrant from use
HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE?
The actual decision: The Supreme Court of North
Carolina held that the city could not be held pay
damages for the loss of the house. 1t said in
providing means for extingushng fires. sit incurs no

Market Cussedness

Here's what makes the corn belt farmers wild.
Itttst the eternal cussedness of corn and hog
prices, as reflected in the United States Agriculture
Department announcement today that "hog prices
are the lowest since December 1924, and 80 per
cent lower than a year ago."
A year ago the farm price of corn was low
67 cents bushel Many belt farmer resolved
to convert this low priced corn into pork 1t GER
tanly looked like good idea The price of hogs
was high-almost $12 hundred on the farm.
Today the results of this foresight" are being
recorded. The market is flooded with corn-fed hogs
and the price steadily declines. And the price of
corn which the farmers sought to improve by con-
verting it into hogs is steadily rising It's 70 cents
bushel now as opposed to 81 cents year ago.
The corn belt farmers would jump at a chance
to reconvert some of their holdings into corn 1t
can't be done

Flood Control

The problem of how to control the
Mississippi is one for engineers to
solve, but the problem of how to get
the necessary funds is one for states
men.
1t will be much easier to get plans
than to get the money.
Engineers have been thinking about
this matter a good while, but those
who form public opinion have not.
The greatest difficulty involved is
that, except in those regions affected
by the Mississippi. the people have
only a vague conception of what the
loss has been and what it means to
the nation as a whole.
The real obstacle to flood control
will be made only when Congress
has been asked to authorize the huge
appropriations required and when
the general lack of understanding
manifests itself in the cry of pork. "

Civilization Menace

If Europe drives Bolshevism to
battle, as it now seems bent on do
ing, and if the ensuing crisis pro-
duces a first-rate military genius,
we shall see such an era of strife
and conflict as may effect the bed
rock Of civilization.
The war would be in Asia, of
course. where methods of Ghengis
Khan would be more adaptable even
in this modern day than would those
of Foch or Hindenburg.
We look on Asia as big but I'M
important. chiefly because it has
been held in subsection by western
governments. 1t contains half the
population of the world, however,
and perhaps quite as large a pro-
portion of the worlds resources.
Who dominates Asia in the years
to come is likely to play ia leading
role in human affairs.

New Murder Defense

y Swiss murder trial has been
halted because the accused. a young
man of %, named Dahler, who
strangled a rich old woman, claimed
that he committed the crime while
under the influence of hypnotism.
According to his story. he had
fallen under the spell of Joseph
Walthier, a professional hypnotist.
and had been instructed to kill
three rich women. of whom this was
the first.
He gave the judge the names and
addresses of the other two prospec.
tive victims and the judge was so
impressed that he not only halted the
trial. but issued an order for the ex-
tradition Of Walthier, who now is in
Paris.
