Why More Farm Land?

IT should be evident to any student of the agrcuur
al situation that there is too much land under cul-
tivation in this country already The Secretary OF
Agriculture himself says that 1--WE need to reduce our
present cultivated acreage by 80 40 million acres
In spite of this situation, which has existed for
several years we see the government spending hun
dreds of millions on Boulder Dam, which is intended
to bring under cultivation vast new area OF farm
land through irrigation. Numerous other irrigation
projects have been built by the government for the
same purpose, and more in prospect.
There is now before Congress proposal to spend
some 400 million dollars on the Columbia Basin irri-
CATION scheme whereby about million and quarter
acres more would be made available for farm
While these things going on, the Farm Board
is spending half billion dollars in effort to handle

Picking Congressman

IICAIuS congressman
WITH 80 men and women in the statewide race
w to be of the nine congressman from Min
nesota, conscientious voters faced with
many difficult choices at the primaries June 20.
There is some very good timber among the drove
of candidates but when the ballots are counted
month"; Minnesota may find itself with some black
sheep among its representorial flock.
Names peculiar thing. Like faces, they be-
familiar even friendly, when heard and read
frequently whether the comment is good bad This
campaign probably will go to the men most widely
known. 1t will be easy to go down the list and spot
friends" among names of many who might be
better citizens and might make better congressman.
Undoubtedly this fact prompted many Of the can
ddates to file. Some of them belong there for no
other
Thinking voters will be carefully armed before
they go to the polls. They will study the list careful
y and discount what they hear about candidates
and make their selections accordingly.
In the first place it might be well to Gull out all
those may suspect filing simply because the job
pays $4,000 year. There is good reason for pen
sioning discredited politicians by sending them to
Washington.
Next we would pick over the remaining names
with view to eliminating any who have served IN
public office and have not measured up to our idea OF
craftsmanship. --&x
Then we would measure we'll the congressman who
are now in office The would do that carefully
if these candidates had the advantage OF running IN
side district confines. We Minnesotans are too much
inclined to speak of this man our congressman or
their congressman They represent the entire state
1t is also an advantage to keep men in office long
enough to places important committees. Some
of our present representatives certainly worth
consideration
Then there is the Twin Cites-Duluth facts to
consider. The real fear of many in connection with
voting at large is that the metropolitan areas VIII
send more than their share of men to washington.
1t is to the rural districts advantage to elect It's snare
of the legislators.
Minneapolis has % men in the race, st. Paul four
and Duluth one Some of the others have little claim
to rural addresses given Some of the % in the group
are clearly job hunters.
Lastly it will be well to remember the old second
district We are certainly entitled to congressman
whether we elect large not. j. " Weber OF Stay
ton the outstanding candidate in this section Bona
support will be required to secure his nomination

 Honolulu, T. H., Jan 11.-UP) -Four Americans charged with murdering an Hawaiian accused in an assault on a white woman will be tried by jury of Honolulu residents stirred by bitter charges made during an impressive funeral for the victim. and by city and naval officials in public statements.
 The largest crowd that ever at- tended civilian funeral on the islands heard Catholic and Pro- testant rites for Joe Kahahawai. the slain man, and strains of the native songs, "Ponoi' and "Aloha" stirred their emotions anew at the cemetery.
 The Rev Robert Ahuna, who conducted the native Protestant rites. spoke the native tongue and charged the murder to revenge" an appalling crime" perpetrated in front of the federal building where the laws are supposed to be ad- ministered and the people judged impartially."
 His comment was typical of that heard from citizens of mixed blood. although action of the accused slayers in waiving their rights to naval courts martial was expected to quiet much of the resentment.
 Lieutenant Thomas Hedges Mas sic, U. $. N. and E. J. Lord an enlisted man, waived their rights and another enlisted man. Albert c. Jones was expected to waive his rights. Mrs Grace Hubbard For tescue, socially prominent New Yorker wollld have been tried by civil courts anyway.

CR00NERS SCORED BY
 CARDINAL
Prelate O'COnnell of Bos- ton Bitterly Attacks the Alleged Songs and Sing CTS of the Many Silly Duties

Boston, Jan 11-(UP)-Croon- ing is "a degenerate, low-down sort of an interpretation of love" and no real man would lower him self to 1t, William Cardinal o'Con- nell, Roman Catholic archbishop of Boston, asserted Sunday in an address before members of the Holy Name society.
 He further characterized 1t as "that bleating and whining, with disgusting words, the meaning of which is a low-down source of sex ual infuence.'
 "There is no man who would lower himself to such art as that" said the cardinal. "A love song IS a beautiful thing in itself because it typifies human affection of the heart. But listen (to crooning) again, with this new idea in your head, and see if you do not set a sensation of revolting disgust at man whining a degenerate song

UNFAIR INCOME TAX LAW IN THE
 SALE OF HOMES
Losses Suffered By Those Sales Cannot Be De- ducted From Income Tax Returns

Washington, Jan 11.-UP)- Losses suffered on the sale of pri- vate homes may not be deducted from income tax returns, but loss- es encountered from stocks. bonds. or business real estate are deduct ibIe. Allowance from practically any loss except that of q home is permitted under the revenue acts Of 1918 and 1921.
 This phase Of the income tax laws is being realized to-day by tbousa nds Of Americans who have been forced to sell their homes at losses during the past year. Daily requests are received at the income tax unit Of the treasury for expia. nations,
 The feeling Of unfairness in this ruling ts shared by some ndmtnlas tratiOn and tax officials. The rule. however. is IB the law iB black ant whlts. Millions of dollars lost in 1881 from the sale Of homes will have fe he borne by indiyiduaiF Themselves.

By WALLACE CARROLL United Press Stan COrrcsDOndcntl

Paris, Jan 11-(UP)-France will use francs, not bullets against Germany if that country repeats officially at the Lausanne confer ence her claim that continuation of separations payments is impos- sible.
 Instead of moving troops into German territory to occupy and force collection of payments from German industries, France will re- fuse to lend Germany much need ed cash, it was indicated.
 Paris considered Chancellor Heinrich Bruening's statement q "pre-Lausanne gesture" and did not accept it as an ultimatum on the separations question. But the statement pro voked unofficial threats to invoke economic and military sanctions under the Young plan and the Versailles treaty if Germany refuses to pay.
 It was pointed put that the Yer sailles treaty authorized certain sanctions in the event of default of separations payments. The Hague agreement of January 16,
