COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia, Aug. IS.
Fearing mass attack on the
Council Bluffs JAIL where sixty
striking farmers are held, Sheriff
Percy Lainson threw a machine gun
barricade around the structure to-
day.
Lainson called in most of his 10O
special deputies. He said he was
ready to combat any attempt to de-
liver the prisoners.
Three men with sub-machine
guns were posted at vantage points.
Deputies watched all avenues of
approach. Council Bluffs furnished
its entire police arsenal to arm the
guards.
ArrestS-sixty-s in all-came
during a night of violence in which
the strikers, their numbers increas-
ing hourly, emerged victorious IN
the first pitched battle of Sheriff
Lainson's campaign to run every
striker out of Pottawatomie county,
In this engagement four officers
using tear gas in an attempt to dis
perse a picket camp on highway
leading into Council Bluffs, we're in
jured by a rain of clubs and stones,
and by broken glass from the win
dows of their automobiles.
Forced to Stop
The strikers fell upon them when
their car, carrying cans of tear
gas on the running board, was
forced by a stalled machine to stop
in the crowd.
More than three thousand per-
sons, including many women and
children, watched as the strikers
disregarding the choking gas
rushed the car, hurting sticks and
stones against the windows.
The officers were showered by
broken glass and missiles. Their
own eyes streaming tears from the
effects of the gas pouring in
through the shattered windows, the
men finally started their autos and
disappeared.
The injured were:
Lieut-Col. Henry C. Hall, chemi-
cal warfare officer of the Iowa ma
tional guard, who accompanied the
officers because of his knowledge OF
the use of tear gas. Hall suffered
two long gashes on the head.
G. H. Pangborn, deputy game war

man, cuts and bruises.
Officers Outnumbered
Outnumbered by the pickets,
Sheriff Lainson's forces gave up fur
Their attacks. During early morn
ing hours, many arrests of striking
farmers were made.
Strike leaders worked through
the night strengthening their
blockade. Not a truck bearing live
stock or produce passed the lines
to enter the Omaha market from
the Iowa side. A few milk trucks
were permitted to get through,
since the Producers Association has
signed a new agreement with Oma-
ha creameries.
Picketing forces were increased by
arrival of recruits from several
nearby towns and counties, accord
ing to leaders Of the movement.
At night, thousands of curious
city folk visit the camps of the
strikers.

Illustrating a Fact

The extent of the decline in secur.
ity values brought about by the de-
preston was never better illustrated
than in the shrinkage of the estate
of the late Samuel Mather. famous
Ohio philanthropist.
Mr.. Mather, who had extensive
holdings in steel companies and in
Great Lakes steamship lines, had an
estate that was worth upwards of
S40,000,000 in the summer of 1929.
Last year he died; and when an in
ventory of his estate was filed in the
Ohio probate court the other day, it
was found that that $4,000 900 value
had come down to about Sc 500 900.
Could there be a more graphic ex-
ample Of the way in which values
have contracted in the last two and
one-half years?

The Futures Tax

Enemies of the practice Of trading
in futures of all sorts of commodities
may get chance to see how elimi-
nation of this system would work out
and not as the result of their agi-
tation, either.
When the senators found they
needed more taxes to balance the
budget, they increased the levy on
sales of commodity futures from one
cent per 500 to five cents.
The result was a drop in price of
grain on the Chicago market as the
traders unloaded their holdings We'd
nesday. They we're quite bitter about
the whole business, branding the 400
per cent increase as unfair.
The tax seems little thing. but
it may be enough to discourage a
good many Of those trustful souls
who play the market and who are
commonly referred to as grain gam
blers. They are the folk vino buy in
the hope that prices will rise, and
sell in the expectation Of a drop.
With the new tax in force they will
have to rise little higher or drop
little farther If these gentlemen are
to pay brokerage costs and still show
a profit. The result may be that they

Singing in the Bathtub

That men like to sing while bathing
has long been recognized as one of
the harmless but puzzling idiosyn-
crasies of modern life. Now, at last,
comes DR.. Vern o. Knudsen, professor
of physics on the, Los Angeles campus
of the University of California, to ex-
plain that this happens largely be-
cause the ordinary bathroom is SO
beautifully resonant.
The bathroom is small, and it is
usually lined with glazed tile, he ex.
plains. Consequently, it makes ar
ideal sounding board for the human
voice, lifted in song. The man who
has no illusions whatever about his
vocal gifts may, therefore, be par
doned if he MARBLES loudly while
standing in the shower. The very
laws of physics are OH his side. Can
he be blamed for taking advantage of
them?

The PlatfOrm.Makers
Minneapolis Tribune)

A name that has been lost to Amer
lean politics for two decades reap
peared in the news with the an
nouncement that James r. Garfield
has been selected to prepare the plat
form for the Republican party which
is to be submitted to the Chicago
convention. Because of his early po-
litical affiliation with the progress
sive Roosevelt faction in the Repub-
lican party, the selection of Mr.. Gar
field has some significance in that
it indicates departure from the
practice of turning to one of the reg
ulars in the party councils to per-
form this task. That Mr.. Garfield's
influence will mean a party platform
that will represent any particular de-
parture from established Republican
policies does not necessarily follow
for the party document is, in the last
analysis, the product of not one mans
influence, but represents the thought
Of many.
Yet Mr.. Garfields entire political
record in public life is that of pro-
gressive Republican with a type of
philosophy that bears the Roosevelt
stamp. A son of the late president,
MI. Garfield entered politics as a
state senator in Ohio After serving
on the United States civil service
commission for number of years he
was appointed commissioner of cor
porations in the Department OF Com
merce and Labor. It was while he
held this position that he conducted
the important Investigations of the
beef and oil trusts and took an active
part in the movement to extend the
authority of the federal government
IN the regulation of commerce and
industry. During the two years in
which he was secretary of the inte-
rior, under President Roosevelt, he
effected complete reorganization Of
that department and brought about
some important reforms in the land
office. After being prominent in the
councils of the bull moose party in
the Roosevelt campaign in 1912, he
retired to private life when that fac
ton met defeat.
How much Of that political tradi-
ton Mr.. Garfield will impart to the
1882 platform remains to be seen but
his selection at this time would seem
to be good one. Americas particu-
lar type Of democracy demands a
statement Of party dogma through
! platforms and an election without
them Is difficult to imagine. The
| platform-makers Of 1892 have inher-
tied an important responsibility and
the country waits to see In what
manner they will meet 1t.

The Smith Indian Cataract Operation

Inc smith Indian Cataract operation
Col. Henry Smith, famous opthal-
mic surgeon, had performed $4,000
cataract operations on his patients in
India up to the beginning of the world
war. He has taught his method to
hundreds of the worlds leading sur
geons, who attend his clinic to learn
the technic of his method. Here and
there progressive specialist in this
country follows the Smith method in
operating on cataract. but the ma
jority of oculists still use the older
method.
Far be it from me to criticise the
method Of any man who can do any
thing at all to give cataract sufferers
better sight. What I don't know
maybe occupies deskroom in the rear
of the village jewelry store. But
know little about tonsils, varicose
veins and hernias, and what know
about these things and their treat
ment leads me to suspect that our
eye physicians are holding back or
the Smith method mainly because
they have not had the opportunity tc
see it in the hands of master and
