FARM SITUATION
BETTER, SAYS TESS
Declares Unrest Continues
in Industrial Cities, After
Ohio Trip.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Senator Simeon D. FeSs of Ohio,
chairman of the Republican National
Committee. on his return to Washing
ton today. said that better feeling was
in evidence among the farmers of Ohio
today despite the continued depression.
He pointed out that OHIO, like many
other States in the Union, has had fine
crops this year and that notwithstand-
ing the comparatively low prices for
agricultural commodities, the farmers
we're in better position than they were
a year ago.
ForeseeS Difficulties.
The chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Committee. however, is fully
cognizant Of the fact that there is much
unrest and discortent in the industrial
centers of Ohio as we'll as in industrial
ccnters elsewhere. An inclination on
the part Of the disconnected to blame
the Republican administration in
Washington for conditions is well
known to the Republican leaders. With
the national campaign less than a year
away. they will leave no stones unturn-
ed to convince the voters that they
should continue to have faith IN the
Republican party and that the Demo-
Gratis have nothing to offer to the
country if they we're put in power.
Senator F5SS SAID thaL ne was conn
dent that John B. HOLSTER, the Re-
publican nominee for the seat in the
House made vacant by the death Of the
late Speaker LougWorth. would he
elected in November. The campaign
in the first Ohio congressional dis
trict is we'll under way, with both Hol-
lister and David Lorbach, the Demo
cratic nominee, actively canvassing.
Plans Committee Meeting.
The national chairman expects tC
be in Washington for about 10 days
He has not yet determined upon the
exact date when the Republican Ma
tional Committee will be called to-
gether to pick a convention city fol
next year, but said today meeting
would be held in Washington in De-

State Department officials indicated
today the United States would decline
10 use its good Offices in the Mexican

ROOSEVELT SCORES
| HOOVER BOND PLAN
Sees Long-Term Financing
as Effort to Mortgage
U. S. Future.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, September 10
Gov. Franklin d. Roosevelt believes
New York State would be very foolish
if it followed the policy Of President
Hoover's administration in meeting a
deficit In Government finances by issu-
ing long-term bonds.
In his first attack on the national
Republican administration since he has
been prominently mentioned as a posi-
BILE Democratic presidential candidate
the Governor said, This depression is
today's problem and We must not Dor
row against the future to meet it."
Gives Views at Dinner.
His criticism of the Hoover financial
policies was made during general dis
cussion of governmental financing
problems arising from the unemploy-
ment emergency at the annual farm
dinner given by Jerome E. Barnum,
publisher of the Syracuse Post
Standard, in connection with the SYRIA
cuse State Fair.
The Governor. reiterated his long
standing policy Of having Lhe Govern
ment pay expenses as thAv arise instead
CT creating a debt to be paid in future
years through loEg-term bond issues.
He said:
Times of depression such as The
present ought to teach us something
about public financing and private
thrift. They ought to teach us that
We can't expect to be immune from
periods of stress and difficulty and that
we will be in poor shape to meet such
emergencies If we have a mounting
burden of debt crushing us when they
come upon us.
Against Pledging Future.
Fright now we have to consider how
to meet such an emergency. Shall
we meet it according to the example of
our Federal Government which feels
itself obligated to put out 100000, 900
of longtime bonds to cure the defects
of a subject whose revenues have not
come up to expectations? think we
should be very foolish and recreant to

Retail Sales In Texas

Bascom N. Timmons is a very accurate Washington
correspondent. He keeps his eyes on Texas news for
Southwestern newspapers. His latest Is that retail sales
in Texas reached the high total Of S2l074,164,544, dur
ing 1929 giving the Lone Star state the seventh rank
ing position In the country. According TO Correspond
ent Timmons this was approximately one twenty
fifth Of the entire retail business done in the AZ
states and District of Columbia during that year
Figures are those issued by the department Of COM
merce and the total for the United States was more
than s5O,OO0O OOyOOO. States outranking Texas in the
order named were New York, Pennsylvania. Tlionis,
California, Ohio and Michigan. Michigan led all az
states in average sales per store. Regardless Of this
the figures show Texas to be one of the great retail
districts of America.

How to Create a Prosperous
World

"A prosperous United States is the beginning OF a
prosperous world remarked the president under
Hoosier skies. Nothing can be gained in recovery Of
employment by detouring capital away from industry
and commerce into the treasury Of the United States
either by taxes or loans" How about "detouring capt.
tai away from American industry and commerce" into
foreign nations as loans to idustrialists engaged in
the manufacturing Of goods and wares to be sold in
the markets Of the world? Billions Of American money
have been planted in Europe in recent years. All this
recuperated European industrialism but It played
havoc with American industry and American COM
merce.
