storm or protest over the action az President Coolidge
in vetoing the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill, the
newspaper maintaining that the administration lead
ers have betrayed the interests Of the farmers and
that they will express their disapproyal at the No
vember election.
President Coolidge announced when the bHl wa
vetoed at the last session that he considered several
features unconstitutional, and his view was supported
by the attorney general. He also indicated that in
the event the measure was again presented for his
signature he would refuse TO sign II.
As an alternative proposition Secretary Of Agrcul-
ture Jardine suggested government-aided co-operatives,
the plan receiving the endorsement Of the president
But the farm bloc of the house and senate refused TO
accent a compromise. They asserted that the panacea
they offered for the ills Of agriculture was the only
- that should he administered. They admitted that
Il was more or less an experiment, but would not con-
eede that the experiment recommended BY Jardine and
coolidre might prove as efficacious as the one they
rroposed. They asserted the government must accept
their experiment or none, with the result there Is now
no relief in sight, from a legislative source az least
cor agriculture.
The proponents az the McNary-Haugcn measure
knew from the outset it was doomed to receive ne
nr.siden,ial veto, but they would not compromise.
They insisted upon attaching to the bill every fantastic

Mr.. Coolidge will. Of course. sign the bill. A little

stances. Some democrats even proposed to reduce
taxes By slOO.OOO.ooO. Mr.. Coolidge and Mr.. Mellon
frowned upon the suggestion, as certain to create a

The republican stalwarts in house and senate raj
lied TO the defense of the administration tax plan.
The republican victory was not alsily won. however
And IL would have been even hard to win, IL the rcpub-
lican independents had not supported the republican
regulars
The western republicans did not want tax reduction
particularly this session, preferring to retire the pub
lie debt more rapidly by applying SURPRISES in the fed
eral treasury to debt liquidation. The support they
gave to the administration republicans was not dec
tated so much by a desire to help the administration
as by willingness to aid the democrats in ~effecting .
larger tax reduction. It was a choice of two evils, and
the western republicans chose the lesser.
The principal provisions &C the tax-reduetior
measure apply to corruptions and automobiles. Elimi
nation of the sales tax on automobiles will cause a loss
to the treasury Of sos, 100000 a year, but will increase
the sale Of automobiles and indirectly will probably
bring into the treasury more than s66.O0O,oOO a year

COMING DOWN TO CASES

2. Trubee Dawson. assistant secretary Of war in
charge Of aviation, has voiced what every true friend
Of commercial aviation will echo, namely. a demand
for a%irports. On tho occasion Of a luncheon AT tire
Bankers Club on Wednesday he said it was amazing
that New York had no accessible airports. One tray-
els from Washington to Mitchell Field BY air. he 9oint-
ed out, in a fraction Of the time il takes to reach New
York by train. and then uses up the difference gettire
from Mitchell Field to the center Of the city. we
should have airports," he cried. "and they should be
located accessible TO business areas"
Amen! But the only site for an airport accessible
to the business and financial centers both Of Mnnhat-
tan and Brooklyn is Governors Island. And one Of
the main obstacles to putting It to this use is the op-
position Of the war department. or which Mr.. Dawson
Is an influential member. Mr.. Dawson said It the
same luncheon that the war department wished to de-
velop commercial aviation because il was important
from a military standpoint, also that the government
desired to build up the industry By assistance. uid.

Island, but is il out Of order to suggest that if tie
war department and the government arc really in
earnest in this matter they prove it ~ releasing Gov
errors Island 10 the city AS an airport. or ~ At least
sharing il for the purpose?
New York's request in this particular is modest
enough. Representative William ". Cohen. 10 be sure,
has been demanding for virtually a year that the e.
tire island be coded and that the headquarters Of the
Department OF the East Ne relocated elsewhere. But
more recently il has been indicated to the Washing
ton authorities that the use merely of the southern tIl
OF the island, now covered with Anticipated storage
sheds, would suffice, that this could function rs a con
venient point Of arrival and departure for both la d
and sea planes which would seek storage. service and
other facilities at the municipal airport now in course
OF development in Jamaica Bay.
In other words, the war department need sacrifice
very little in helping New York to an accessible ar
terminal. Is Mr.. Dawson prepared TO plug the idea ?

eventful teaching, Tuesday, OF our
Lords last week. II u the most Sc

of him.
Gods Spiritual Vineyard
Christ's idea or ~picturing Israel
- a vineyard was IN no sense orig
inal with him. Nearly 500 years be-
fore the prophet, Isaiah, had sung his
vineyard song ~embodying the same
idea; "My well-beloved hath a vine
yard in a very fruitful hill: and ne
fenced u and gathered out the stones
thereof. and planted IL with the
choicest vine, and built a tower in the
midst Of IL, and also made a wine
press therein; and he looked that II
should bring forth grapes, and IL
brought forth wild grapes" What a
disappointment Gods spiritual vine
yard was in those days Of the pro-
phets; Isaiah sums up the nations
attitude to the ministry Of all the
prophets when he says, who hath
believed our report?"
The Disappointing Vintage

grapes Jesus refers TO when he says

was fulfilled IN the events or Calvary
and the cross. Gods appeal through
