FOOD SHORTAGE NOW THREATENS CITIES As
 RESULT FARM STRIKE

SIOUX CITY, Aug, B, Faced with a food shortage occasioned by the striking of farmers through out this section and other cities and states as we'll, mayors of the cities effected are preparing to ask the Federal government for aid in preventing the spread of the strike.
 The farmers are picketing roads and railroads to prevent ingress of food to the cities and the situa- tion is rapidly becoming acute. On Monday the farmers stopped two trains carrying food to this city.
 While the strike situation among the farmers continues here striking coal miners of Illinois and Indiana continue with increased vigor. It is estimated that at least 50,000 miners are being kept out of the coal mines by reason of the strike. The situation in the coal area of these two states is also described as tense and an outbreak can al- most be expected at any time.
 The strike began over wage re- dutcions from $6 to $4. It is hoped an agreement of $5 will be reached.

FLYING BOUDO|R' WAS IN AIR 196 HOURS ID
 ESTABLISH NEW MARK

NEW YORK, Aug, B, - The Flying Boudoir," of Mrs Louis Thaden and Mrs. Frances MarSa lis, up in the air for more than week, came down to earth on Cur tis Field, Monday evening, at 6:O6 o'clock.
 The two women had previously announced they intended to re- main in the air as long as their mo- tor and plane functioned all right but their decision to alight was prompted by an invitation to at tend the Cleveland air derby. Inas- much as they could not fly directly to Cleveland to have their record officially recognized, they were compelled to land on the same field from which they started. They dropped a note a half-hour before they landed saying they were com ing down.
 They chalked up a new endur- ance mark of 196 hours and six minutes. The previous record was 122 hours and was held by Bobby Trout and another Western wom- an. The Flying Boudoir" team bested the old record by 73 hours.
 When the two women emerged from their plane, it was noticed that their noses were carefully pow dered, their lips rouged and their hair carefully combed. They said this was all they had to do while floating thousands of feet above the earth.
 Their first request was for a bath tub. They said they had only had a chance to sponge off occasional ly. Mrs. Thaden, however, collapsed before she could take her bath and and so was put to bed.
 The two new cOnquerors of the skies spent the night catching up on sleep and rest. It was revealed today that Casey Jones, the flight manager, had ordered the two wo- men to come down as the test was too strenuous for them, they being unable to get any rest in the lar row confines of the cabin. Mrs. Marsalis was in the best condition.
 Mrs. Marsalis asked for cigar cite immediately upon entering an automobile, but Mrs. Thaden was unable to withstand the strain and tainted on the running board.
 Ruth Nichols, former champion avlatrix, was the first to congrat- ulate the new champions.

"In addition to economics IN gov
ernment, to extending credits through

millions of credit to the farm land
banks, whacked off large percentages
from the regular appropriation bills,
and this week is struggling with direct
relief for those in distress. How large
that figure will amount to l cannot
say: it will run into the hundreds of

Congress performed two courageous
actions, for which it is receiving little
credit from the country at the present

FIRST. It passed a 81 600 900 900 tax
bill-the tax bill that nobody wanted
to balance the budget.
Second. it refused to pass the bill
authorizing the payment of $2,400, ,000.-

cash payment of the bonus due in

Admires Veterans Courage.
IT want to pay my personal tribute
to the veterans who marched to Wash
ington urging the cash payment OF the
bonus. I admire their courage, their
forbearance, their manly conduct of
that mistaken campaign. AS friend
of the veterans, I now would urge them
to return home: they will do more
harm than good in the long run by re-
naming. And 1t is just plainly i'm

The next Congress should do what
this one has failed to do-recognize the
necessity of restoring the purchasing
power Of agriculture, Until farm COM
modify prices rise prosperity cannot
and will not return Congress and the
country should realize this basic fact.
Also the next Congress should take
the problem of our monetary system; !;
make our money a medium OF eX-
change not a commodity to be dealt
in and speculated on in the money
markets. In other words, it should
stabilize the purchasing power of the
dollar. I wish I had more time 10

failed on the job the country wanted

failed on the job the country wanted
done.
But Congress has done some things
to alleviate the situation, to help tide
through the emergency.
The country insisted upon tax re-
ductions. and justly SO. A national In
come of $4,000 million dollars cannot
pay the $4,000 million dollars in taxes
that it could when the national income
on the inflated credit basis-could
manage to pay.
"Of the $4,000 million dollars Of tax
burden the Federal Governments share
was we'll over 1000 million dollars. The
present session of Congress has reduced
500 and 700 million dollars year out
of 1,700 millions of running expenses
aside from fixed charges.
State and local governments are on
the way toward tax reductions of IS
per cent. In another year the total tax
burden should be down to between 5000
and 10000 million dollars year. 1t
will have to be slashed some more. All
Government payrolls are going to have
to take cuts; most of them have done so.
Nine Per Cent Cut Next Year.
THE Federal reduction for next year
will average 9 per cent through the
adoption of the furlough plan. Also
the furlough plan will, hope, lead to
the national five-day week. Develop
ment of machinery. in my judgment,
will require the whole country going to
the five-day week in industry perhaps
seven-hour day. Otherwise We will
have millions of unemployed with us,
even after we have recovered from the
deflation following the imitation.

sion. We have too much real wealth.
too much intelligence, too much real
strength in resources and In national
character not to recover from this seri-
Gus economic illness. But we will have
to learn from this sad experience II the
recovery is to be permanent
But getting back to Congress.
Besides tax reduction, Congress
faced some other emergency relief
problems Neither ! nor any one else
can maintain that the present session
attacked the causes of our troubles,
Congress merely tried to take care of
the existing emergency.
Besides tax reduction. extension Of
credit was absolutely necessary.
This necessary credit extension was
accomplished through the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation, for which
Congress appropriated 500 million dol
lars plus authority to borrow on bond
issues another 1,500 million dollars.
The r. F. c., as it is generally
known. saved the banking system of the
country from collapse. If the banking
structure had collapsed. We would be a
hundredfold worse of than We are.
You may not want to admit that. but
I believe 1t is true.
