 The Convention recessed this morn ing until o'clock this afternoon when more nominating speeches and the Platform presentation is expected.

the problem is not only to keep cool
but to look cool. Filmy dresses, in

the onlooker's comfort.
A cool looking daytime frock Is

MISREPRESENT
TARIFF STAND,
GARNER Says
Claims Opposition Is
More Interested In
Internal Revenue
Than Tariff

The charge that his stand on the
tariff question as it relates to agri-
culture and his tariff record are be-
ing misrepreseEted BY the opposi-
ton is contained in an open letter
from Representative JOAN N. Garner
to Judge I. L. Martin Of Uvalde. The
congressman asserts that his oppo
sition is not 50 mucl interested IN
his tariff record as in the record
he established in the battle waged
to increase the tax of certain in
terests.
"The backbone Of the opposition
TO me is not so much interested in
the tariff as they are in internal
revenue taxation wherein | disagree
with their policy" Congressman
Garner said. "They want to tax
the masses according to their neces-
sites, and ] want to tax wealth &C
cording to its ability to pay. These
are irreconcilable positions. and I
course Mr.. Mellon and the ex
tremely wealthy would be glad to
remove me from congress regardless
of who took my place. II it were
not for this condition ! would have
no opposition at this time"
Relative TO the alleged misrepre-
sensations regarding his tariff rec
ord, 20 which Judge Martin called
his attention, Congressman Garner
said:

WOMEN ARE URGED
TO SET PEACE IDEA
Mrs. Gait Appeals to StabiI'
ize Mems Aims Against
Warfare.

Asserting that the women OF America
can be of material aid in the establish
ment Of peace by ''stabilizing the ideas
of men," Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait
honorary president Of the League OF
Women Voters told the District League
of Women Voters at a dinner given In
her honor at the y. w. c. A. last
night that the time has passed Tor
women to leave tn. matter Of war to
men. and that as they are bsginning
10 take an active part In the Nation S
business. they can begin to inspire
peace. .,s
In discussing the various problems
in the fight to end war Mrs. Catt
urged that war be waged against NUM-
tions and firearms as real way 10
peace. LAS the movement againS'
crime and war progresses she Saio,
1t will evolve into war against tlS
production of firearms and probably VIII
mean the prohibition OF firearms eho
munitions.
Would Disarm Criminals.
"Disarm the criminal TO stop the
crime wave" Mrs Gait suggested,
nointins out that the method employed
in the prohibition OF WHISKY Was oy
confiscation." and that the abolition
of slavery hinged on the confiscation
of the lands OF the slaveholuerS IN
the South. Therefore. she maintained.
the only solution of the crime wave
would be the prohibition and conflsca-
ton of firearms which also would have
its effect in ending war
Denouncing the recent statements OF
Rear Admiral Plunkett. who prophesied
a war between the United States and
England. Mrs. Gait branded such state
ments as the kind of steps which have
a menacing psychological effect upon
the people of the two nations.
Forces to Keep Peace.
Armies and navies are maintained
10 keep peace" she said. and the
commander in chief of these forces
should prohibit officers under him to
issue such proclamations."
Mrs. Gait declared that not only have
such predictions been made in this
country but they are also being made
in England. This country could lead
the way TO attaining a more peace
full attitude by the commander-in-chief
informing his officers that they were
not to start war" England would
follow. she predicted. and Japan would
do likewise.

NC NARY-HAUGEN
BILL IS UPHELD
BY FARM CHIEF

WASHINGTON jan II R-The
much discussed equalization fee OF
the McNary- -Haugen bill was upheld
as basis for a permanent farm relief
system before the house agriculture
committee today by Chester H. Gray,
of the American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton, with the opening of hearings
on means OF remedying the agri-
cultural situation.
Representing farmers organizations
throughout the middle west and
west, Gray advocated the passage OF
the remodeled McNary- -Haugen bill on
the ground that it represented the
best legislation obtainable. He sug-
geSted one important amendment,
creation of advisory councils in each
of the IL federal land bank dis
tricts in place of commodity advisory
councils to be established at the
discretion of the federal farm board.
This would mean, he said, that
emergency situations in all comn1odi-
ties in the regions would be met
and dealt with by councils of the
respective regions. Under the present
plan separate councils are required
as situations arise respecting any one
commodity.
Gray told the committee this
change would be in the farmers
interest and would be a concession
to them to make up Tor revoking
the power which they had in the
previous bill to stimulate in general
the membership of the federal farm
board. Largely because OF the presi-
in I1in ~
sage, he said, the present bill places
no restriction on the presidential
power of appointment TO the board.
This change drew fire from Rep
Kincheloe, OF Kentucky, democrat,
who said ne supported the last bill
as a farmers bill mainly because
it assured board membership rep
resentative of the farmer AS the
bill stands now, he added, the door
is open for the board to 0e con-
trOlled by persons with other interests
S. H. Thompson, president of the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
briefly indorSed the McNary- -Haugezs
bill and said that its various aspects
would be considered in detail in the
ensuing committee hearings by other
representatives OF the federation.
Quick enactment of farm relief
legislation was urged by George w.
Donaghey, former governor of Ark
ansas, who said that the equalization
fee plan would give the farm situa-
ton needed stability His appearance
was followed bysan objection by Rep.
Fort, of New Jersey, republican, who
suggested the hearings be expedited
by limiting the testimony to that
dealing with proposed amendments to
the McNary- -Haugen bill or with new
ideas for a solution of the agricultural
problem.
''We are all agreed that some form
of relief is necessary" he added.
The committee room was crowded
with persons interested in farm relief
legislation, among whom were mem
bers of the executive committee a.
the National Grange, which is meys-
ing here this week. With them was
L. j. Taber, grand master of the
Grange. Their attention has largely
been directed toward consideration
of the debenture plan for effecting
farm relief.
