Lack "Ge!.Up", According to
 Kansas Speaker

Chicago. Jan. 31 R- What's wrong with the farmer. according to T. F. Hopkins of Liberal. kans.. is that he lacks sumption and "get-up." Hopkins. who owns and operates a 1000 acre farm near Liberal. voiced his views at the interstate com naerce commission hearing on grain rates now being held here.
 Tho American farmer Is shtftless and lazy" said Hopkins. 'He joy rides around in unpaid-for automo- bilss. instead of attending to his work"
 Hopkins had been called to testify as to his methods of farming. be- cause the commission had been told hts operations have been consistent ly successful.
 ''Evsry farmer who spends his time tending his farm is making . 70 ss it." hs said. If the average farmer worked as hard as tho bust. ness man In the city ws wouldn't hear any moro of this talk about hard times on farms.
 we have some good farmera but ws have . lot of poor ones. Most of these unsuccessful ones buy auto- mobiles on the instalment plan be- fore they get their crops harvested. Any lack of success they have Is due to lasiness. shiftlessness and, im- providence. The automobile is . necessity, but 1t is too biz . tempta- tios tor most of them. and they speal more time riding around than is good for their farms.

DRYS LOSE WIND
 FROM THEIR SAILS
Hear Mayor Walker on Wagon
 Only Because Of Stomach

New York. Jan. Sl (CP)-Drys who hailed Mayor Jimmy Walkers ascent of the water wagon with joy were chilled today by his announce ment that he did it only for his stomach's sake.
 In fact, the mayor hinted broad ly. he was looking forward to the time when his tummy would be it's old self and assimilate a wide vari- ety of things.
 No Moral Principle
 There is no moral principle in- volved in his five months abstinence Mayor Walker explained to report ers who questioned him about the announcement of the Rev. Christian F. Resiner that he had sworn off liquor.
 The news. however. caused discus sion and argument in New York. Washington. Albany and probably Tucson, Ariz.
 It was explained here that the mayors list involved no disagree ment with the principles of Tam many Hall. Many leaders Of the wigwam. it was said. have been on tho wagon for the same reason of health. but it has nothing to do with their political principles.
 In Albany. an effort was made to start a wet-and-dry argument in the legislature with Mayer Walker the subject. but democrats hastily but it of on a point of order.
 Tn Washington. the director of prohibition enforcement. praised Jimmy for joining the legion of the saved. He denied. however. that he had expressed the hope that Gov. smith would follow Walkers exam pie. His reported assertion to that effect caused a mild political out burst, with Rep. Black of New York, taking the lead in denouncing the supposed statement.

GIVES SOLUTION
 TO MARINE MATTER
Hurley Urges Private Ownership
 of Vessels to Coolidge

Chicago. Jan. 31 (UP)LSolution Of the American merchant marine problem by private ownership of ships and by governmental survey to determine advisa bility of federal regulation of tntercoastal shipping rates was proposed to President Coolidge by Edward W. Hurley. of Chicago. in a letter made public to- day.
 Hurley was chairman of the U. s. shipping board and head Of the emergency fleet corporation during part of the Wilson administration.
 Can't Operate Successfully
 The financial loss resulting iron, operations of the shipping board and fleet corporation. Hurley said. demonstrates the governments in- ability to operate ships successfully.
 Not only do American ships fail to pay expenses in the bitterly con- tested foreign shipping business, Hurley said, but the American bot toms in intercoastal business. where there is no foreign competition. also are unable to show a pront.
 Private Ownership
 Private owners of ships would necessarily solve the problem, in order to exist. Hurley said.
 If five men schooled in rate structure Were selected by you. Mir President" the letter said, Ito make survey of intercoastal rates and to submit their recommendations, their report would be most helpful in de- termtning the advisability of the governments participating in con. trolling intercoastal rates. One rate expert might be chosen from tho interstate commerce commission One might be selected from the rail road classification committee. two from shipping interests engaged tr this service. and one from the ship. ping board"
 He cited. to show the necessity for the survey. the chaos which existed In railroads before the interstate commerce commission undertook regulation of rates.
