Politicians NOnCcr

Politicians ponder still about what
 the cX-prcsident is likely to do, ;mI
 arc left in the mystifying state which his famous "I do not choose"
 statement created more than three years ago.
 A turbulent political situation exists throughout the country due 10 | the split between the eastern and
 western wings of the party in the senate over the tariff and farm re- lief, President Hoover has tried to steer middle road between the two. Calvin Coolidge. as president, was i regarded generally as a conserva-
 tive, with his sympathics inclining
 toward the cast.
 Some conservative eastern leaders. it will be recalled. including Secre-
 tary of Treasury Mellon, underwent
 q good deal Of persuasion before
 casting their lot with Herbert Hoov- CT. and Coolidge has some Staunch followers still in this group. It is conceivable they might encourage | ''''' ''tllbi't'N III "p-. ol f\ tIl III 1856, though there have been no open indications of anything of this sort.
 This would represent a move by
 the republican party to rally th"
 conservative forces of the country
 under it's banner, and make fight similar to that made by Coolidge in 1924, when there was q split in the party caused by the independent
 candidacy of the late Senator Robert M. Lalollcttc.
 The truth of the situation proba- bly, is that Coolidge is merely ob- serving the trend in his quiet way, as
 arc his friends, waiting for develop lncnts. They will be in q better po- Sition 10 size up the situation after the congressional elections this fall in which, many observers hero be- llerc now, the republicans will suf. ] for some losses. Democrats even pre- dict a democratic congress, their
 optimism buoycd up by a series oi
 minor victories in recent months | capped with that in CalN in Coolidgc'S $
 own congressional district.

GRANGE IS ASKED
TO OK. DEBENTURE
Resolution Favoring Farm
Measure Placed Before
Annual Convention.
By the Associated Press.

NADoN~A6NS4
ROCHESTER, N. Y, November 49,
Resolutions indorsing the export de-
benture provision once proposed for the
tariff act, urging immediate improve
ment of rural highways and condemning
blanket bond iSues for drainage and
irrigation districts were placed before
10000 members of the National Grange
today for consideration at their sixty
fourth annual convention.
Although "the protective tariff Is a
means OF encouragement to those In
dustries enjoying preferred considera-
ton" the debenture resolution said, "the
tariff policy breaks down as an equitable
agency for promoting prosperity and
the general welfare and Is an enemy of
both by operating to dual disadvan-
tage to agriculture"
Adding that agriculture at times is
disadvantage because of climates, the
resolution said ut was just this condi-
ton that the export debenture was
brought forth to correct, to bring tariff
Dement'S to those commodities of which
we produce a surplus and because of
which a tariff becomes ineffective and
our agriculture is forced to sell In a
free trade market and buy in highly
protected one"
The resolution was introduced by
Jesse Newsome, master Of the Indiana
State Grange.
A. s. Goss Of Seattle, Wash, spon-
sor Of the bond issue resolution, said
his measure sought to remove the heavy
burden of debt on lands not affected by
drainage and irrigation projects.
The rural roads resolution pointed
out that immediate Improvement OF
farm-to-market highways is an avail
able remedy for high transportation
costs facing the farmer. Delegates were
guests at the Webster, N. Y, Grange,
largest In the world, at a banquet to-
night.
