To Attack Surplus Problem
A direct Industrial attack on one
Of the major farm problems. the
huge surplus Of grain carried over
from the last harvest and impend-
ing from the crop now maturing has
been decided on. meanwhile. by the
presidents and traffic executives of
eastern railroads.
At the suggestion Of the Hoover
they have agreed to
ask the interstate commerce COM
mission to permit them to reduce
freight rates on export grain to the
north Atlantic seaboard for an
emergency period ending September
so. The rate from Buffalo to the
seaboard would be reduced two cents
a bushel. the reshipping rate from
Chicago to New York from 221a
cents a hundred points to II cents
and the rate from st. Louis TO New
York, from a61a cents = hundred
points to 20 cents.

DEbENTURES Plan
MAKES ADVOCATES
Senators Nys and Copeland Re-
ported Won to Scheme

Washington. May ! ReSenate
advocates of the export debenture
plan today claimed two more votes
from the ranks Of those they hal
previously put down as certain to
cast their ballot against the pro-
posal.
The two claimed are Senator Cope
land. democrat. New York, and Nye,
republican. North Dakota. Senator
Copeland declared on the floor that
he intended Ito hold his nose ard
vote for the debenture plan" as al
tered by the Norris amendment
which is designed to reduce rates
when overproduction is forecast.
Questioned about the report that ne
would vote for the debenture plan.
Senator Nye said Il hope ! have my
mind made SOON"
Administration senator's still claim
a majority against the plan although
they admit the vote will be close.
Senator MeNary of Oregon. who has
the farm bill in charge, has been
hoping to have the senate vote on
the debenture section late today, but
these expectations have been dimin-
ished by requests for opportunity to
discuss the legislation.
The best guess now 10 that the SEN
ate will complete its work on the
bill as whole early next week.
probably Tuesday. Although the
main difficulty will have been over
come when the debenture section ia
disposed of. dozen or more amend
ments are pending which promise to
provoke considerable debate.
New York Vote Divided ~.
The announcement of Senator
Copeland that he would vote for the
debenture section divides the vote of
New York on the question. Senator
Wagner has declared his opposition
to the plan.
Senator Copeland argued that -he
large industrial centers of the coun-
try will not have prosperous cordi-
tons unless the farmer is prosper
Gus. Therefore. he said. he would
vote for the debenture plan al
though he considered it no more
than a bounty. He contended that
the tariff was just as Economically
unsound" ss the debenture plan.
He was interrupted by Senator
Sheppard, democrat. Texas. vino
said he felt compelled ITO con-
graduate the senator from New
York for the generous position he
has taken in behalf of the farmer,

.SCARFACE AL SLIPPING

Coming much as surprise to the rest OF us, as
it must have been Mr. Scarface Al Capone himself
is the notorious Chicago gangster sentence of year
in a Philadelphia jail, for carrying gun.
Philadelphia knows its gangsterS, racketeers and
hiiackers almost we'll does Chicago. The Quak-
City has had many spotches against lis shield in the
past few years, but these balanced by its swift
action in the case of 'Scarface All
For several years have been reading of the
comings and gongs of this gangster chief who seemed
able 10 scoff at the law at all times and in all places
and get away with it. True it is California showed
him the door when he paid visit here year ago, and
Florida also told him to move
One year in jail is not very stiff sentence, but
this happens to be the first time any attempt has been
made by the law to punish the man responsible for
long list Of crimes against it. His power is broken
at last
Re tells of q Conference in Atlantic City, at
which he and rival gang leaders Of Chicago arrived at
an agreement and signed truce which will eliminate
the gang shootings in Chicago One wonders why the
Atlantic CITY police did not pounce down the gang
sters and arrest them.
The readiness with which Capone pleaded guilty
to the charge against him in Philadelphia, and his
Willingness to do anything to avoid Jail sentence,
may have deeper meaning than appears the sur
face Because Al says it does not necessarily fol-
low that truce signed in Atlantic City. 1t may
be that Al knows the safest place for him for while is
in iail = in other city than Chicago.
Incidentally it is interesting to note that two Chi
caro universities = Chicago and Northwestern = have
added departments of police and criminal work to their
curricula.

No Gambling On
Slot Machines

AS the result of the recent drive
against the operation of slot ma
chimes in the city by the city coun-
ell and the police department, which
was halted by court order issued
by Judge \. c. Fiuncy, the ma
chimes now again in number of
business places are restricted in
gambling possibilities to some ex-
tent.
Each machine has a little red
card tackled to it which states that
the checks received in playing the
machines will not be redeemed but
are for amusement purposes only.
In other words every piece of
money put in the machine stays
there.
Judge Finney issued the order al
lowing the machines to operate here
in accordance with the representa-
tion of the owners that the above
method would be used.

GOOD ADVERTISING

Cantaloupe growers and shippers are to be
graduated for the action taken at Brawey this week,
when they voted to maintain standard of maturity
during the shipping season, which will at all times
sure the consumer of sweet and well-favored melons
The shippers realize their dependence upon a mar
ket which must be created by appeal of quality to
the consumer and that such appeal only be
established by uphoding high standard of quality.
If good goods is the best advertising it follows that
bad goods must be the worst advertising. When con-
sumers attracted to buy Imperial Valley canta
loupes and sold fruit that is undeveoped, over
developed it makes them steer shy of this particular
brand in future dealings. Imperial Valley thereupon
gets black eye On the other hand, if, after eating
valley cantaloupe the believes it is the best
he has eaten he is bound to back for
Imperial Valley cantaloupe growers and shippers
realize the necessity of maintaining high quality.
The growers each year present the unique spectacle
of taxing themselves to have their fruit inspected This
year they voted assessment of 20 cents to
pay for inspection service, which will prevent them
from shipping their fruit, if it does not meet the
requirements.
With this fine spirit displayed by growers and
shippers there little doubt that the market for valley
cantaloupes will continue to increase
Seeing to it that only the finest melons reach the
market will be the best advertising for valley canta
