sales meetings, of which the IN
dianapolis session was the wind-up.
Farm crops and conditions this
year were the best in long while. -
Lubbock declared. Banks are eX-
periencing one of the strongest
periods in history and the auto

COXEY FIGHTS
FOR JOB BILL
General Still Working to Re-

bB ItmeS SD6ctdt
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21-Thirty-
four years after he led his famous
army of unemployed on its march
to Washington, General Jacob S,
CoXey of Massillon, o., is back in
the capital. seeking legislation to
relieve unemployment and to reduce
the high cost of living
1t is the twenty-f1fth year that
Coxey, a WEALTHY man, has waited
in capitol corridors in a persistent
effort to persuade congress that his
plan to have the government au-
thorize non-intereSt bearing Securi-
ties for issuance by municipalities
and states is not y Socialist scheme.
Coxey'S bill is being considered by
the house banking and currency
committee, seven members Of which
already have voted to give it ia
vorable report. CoXey needs four
more committee votes before the
bill can reach the floor of the house.
To obtain these votes, he spent sew
eral weeks campaigning n the dis
tricts of Representatives McFadden
of Pennsylvania, Hooper of Michi-
gan, Let's of Iowa and Strong Of
Kansas, all Republicans.
His bill is sponsored by Repre-
sentative Guy Campbell of Pitts
burgh. Aside from furnishing means
for continuous public works, CoXey
asserts that the measure will save
millions for taxpayers, because 20
per cent of all taxes is used for in
terest. Another benefit, he claims
will be a reduction in interest rates
for commercial loans.
