FOR PRESIDENT
w. S. RoebuCk, TT. Wayne,
Probable Choice of
Third Party.

BIZ United Press
MONTENE, Ark, Aug. 26-Politi-
cal and economic theories, ranging
from the abolition of interest
charges to wholesale purchase of
enemy navies in time Of war, were
submitted today to the third
party" convention called by w. H.
'Coln Harvey, political idealist
VINO years ago went down to defeat
with Iree silver and William Jen-
nings Bryan.
Harvey, past 30 and nearly blind.
was the idol Of the thousands of
delegates who gathered in this
Arkansas village from TWENTY-FIVE
states and from far-away Alaska.
Populists, Socialists, nonparti-
sans, radicals and discouraged Re-
publicans and Democrats made up
the following of this old Democratic
warrior who retired in disgust after
Bryan's defeat.
II Years in Study
Harvey has spent the last twenty
seven years studying the evils of
the world, figuring out ways to over
come them, and building a huge
concrete pyramid in which to store
relics Of this civilization which will
last, he says, long after civilization
Itself has persisted.
Seated beside outspoken radicals
at the convention were sober
minded business men who have been
successful in the competitive fight
for personal wealth, but who view
with fear or bewilderment the con-
ditlon Of the world today.
In this group was w. S. Roebuck
OF Ft. Wayne, Ind, who is regarded
as this third party's most likely can
didate for president if Harvey him
self refuses to carry the party ban
ner in 1882.
Author of 126 Books
One of the statisticians present is
Charles L.. Delbridge of st. Louis,
author of 1875 mathematical books.
Among his works is q pamphlet
which sets forth that it costs $37, 900
to kill a soldier in a war.
Delbridge suggests Offering $1,000
to every enemy soldier or sailor who
deserts, and pay him full value for
everything he brings with him, not
excepting airplanes, battleships or
submarines. Under such a system,
the government could buy all the
enemy battleships at six million
dollars each and buy other war en-
gineS at proportionate prices and
the war would soon be over, Del
bridge believes.
The convention planned to take
up Harvey's proposed platform
planks today. 1t plans to nominate
president and vice-president on
Friday.

u. STATES FAKES
GRAIN PROGRAM

Washington Up Chair. Stone
of the federal farm board with Sec.
OF Agriculture Hyde, gave orders
to the American delegates to the
May 10 wheat conference in Lon
don to advocate a policy which the
ADMINISTRATION privately admits
will fail-a policy of reduction of
wheat acreage throughout the en-
tire world.
The American delegates propos-
ed that all countries undertake
propaganda campaigns to induce
grain growers in their own coun-
tries to plant less wheat
Stone and Hyde realize that this
propaganda has failed in the Unit
ed States in the past 19 months
and they do not seriously expect
the European countries or Austra1-
Ia, Canada or Argentina to achieve
anything important thru It.
Failure Is anticipated because
the governments can do no more
than give advice to tina owners OF
the land, as to what crops shall
be planted. Soviet wheat planting
win be steadily increased, mean
while, since the Russian govern.
ment needs wheat as a commodity
for barter to other countries for
the industrial and farming machin-
cry she must have.

o'NEAL IS sKEPTICAL

Washington, May 3D. Agricul-
tural leaders tonight placed little
confidence in the agreement at the
international wheat conference to
reduce acreage wherever possible"
or in the ability of nations to en-
force such a program.
Edward A. O'Neal, president of

ation-the largest and most pow
erful agricultural (business) or
ganization in the world-said the
scheme was not popular even in
thi country which recommended It
to the conference.
THE LOGIC OF 1T
ONeal said the economic logic
IN a smaller wheat acreage was
excellent but that its principles
ran counter to human nature and
the processes of government. 9th
er farm leaders concurred in this
belief.
National farm thought was
friendly toward the plan of the
conference to maintain a secretar-
lat to act as a clearing house of
information on wheat and toward
the reported support of an cor
derby marketing" program.
The latter fits into this govern
ment's farm relief measure as en-
bodied IN cooperative marketing
and the former merely proposes to

I'D therefore no law was enacted
to authorize the election.
1t attacked the constitutionality
of the measure on several grounds,
suggesting that ~ the subject of
the proposal was not clearly ex-
pressed in the title; (2) that the
title was misleading; (S) that the
act is indefinite and uncertain and
cannot be put in operation; az
that no provision is made for pay
men of the principal and interest
as due; (5) that it established a
definite term of 10 years for the
tax but provides that the levy may
not be reduced 50 long as any part
of the debt is outstanding.
Amend Without Re-enacting
1t declares that the act attempts
(a) TO amend certain laws without
re-enacting them; (b) that it at
tempts to levy a direct tax with
out authority; and (c) that it at
temptS to create a tax which does
not apply equally to all classes of
citizens because it permits certain
users of gasoline to recover the a
mounts paid.
