FARM AID FIRST
IN HOUSE PLANS
More Purchasing Power by
at Least $500, 100000
Goal of Sponsors.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
An emergency farm relief plan de-
signed to supply just the push needed to
start the country toward prosperity will
be the first important business of the
House in the new year
More purchasing power for the
farmer by upward of $500,000, 900 is
the goal of its sponsors, who argue that
this sum, going back into channels OF
trade, will start the wheels of industry
moving faster and boost employment.
A domestic allotment plan has been
decided on to do the Job. It has the
united support of organized farm lead
ers and Chairman Jones announced
yesterday his Agricultural Committee
will report the bill to the House mot
later than next Wednesday"
Purchasing Power Increase.
"The bill is designed to increase the
purchasing power of the farmer and
thereby give buying power a start that
will help lift the country out of the
depression, Jones said.
RepreSentatie Rainey, the Democratic
leader. said the bill will be given the
right OF way as soon as 1t comes from
committee and predicted its approval
by the House.
But the plan, which would pay
producers bounty on their share of
domestic consumption, is not without
opposition. To raise the necessary
funds processing tax is provided, and
already it has been attacked as "a giant
sales tax"
Four Commodities in Bill.
The bill on which the Agriculture
Committee expects to conclude work
Tuesday, contains four commodities
wheat. cotton, tobacco and hogs. But
committee members have not yet de-
termined whether all shall go in the
final draft and some effort will be made
to exclude hogs from its provisions.
The allotment plan would be admin
istered by the Secretary of Agriculture.
In return for an agreement to reduce
his production, the farmer would be
entitled to a bonus on that portion of
his crop that is consumed domestically.
This bonus would come out of an
adjustment fund, raised through a
charge on processing. The rate of the
processing tax would be that amount
necessary to give the commodity its
pre-war purchasing power in industrial
commodities.

Charles H. Weber, Democrat, yester-
cay notified the House clerk that he in
tended to contest the election OF James
Simpson. jr., Republican and a director
Of Marshall Field g. Co., as Represent
ative from the tenth Illinois district.
The count showed that Weber ran about
900 votes behind Simpson.
In his notice, Weber blamed his ap-
parent defeat principally on Wilbur
Glenn Voliva, head Of religious o.

charged this was factor in Voliva's S

said that he was going to elect my
boy to Congress If it takes half my
fortune" Weber asserted Voliva subse-
quantly had issued orders for his church
members to vote a straight Republican

WO[L MAKES PLEA
FOR COOPERATION
Warns Against Independence
on Government" in New
Year Statement.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Cooperation within industry during
1888 and a warning against depend
ence on Government were coupled yes
terday in a New Year statement by
Matthew Vol, vice president of the
American Federation of Labor.
We need cooperation within Amer
lean industry during 1888 and we need
it without delay" Woll said. "Our Ma
tion as whole is in trouble. It is not
merely trouble for a single group or a
few groups, but for all of us and there
must be cooperation on the part Of all
to beget recovery. >
Congress should make every honest
effort to enact legislation which will
provide honest employment for Amer
ica's unemployed. The passage of the
pending beer bill will promote employ
ment, will promote true temperance,
will eliminate racketeering and gang
sterism and will help eliminate our
growing national deficit.
Then. too, We need to undertake
a concentration upon national prob
lens, American problems. Interna-
tionalism may be an idealistic pro-
ACoo-CAi, bht ~ NdIl llhGWlSG De mis-
taken one. The world is not helped
by protesting tnternationalism, while
America goes to pieces.
we enter 1888 facing a change in
Government. Many find hope in that
fact. I should like to give warning
against too much dependence upon
Government. Government can, and we
hope will, be helpful. But Govern
ment cannot and should not do all
things. We shall pay dearly for every
step toward paternalism and bureau
cracy.
THE greatest safeguard against too
much dependence upon Government is
cooperation between voluntary groups
within industry. We have no condi-
tion that cannot be remedied with the
instruments at our command We have
no need for despair If we but use the
tools that are at our command. ."

tual service in 1882 would be extended
to me or my successor in 1888.
My term as mayor of Boston ends
in December, 1888, and since under the
law the president of the Council is act
ing mayor, 1t was my desire to impress
upon the membership of the Council
the importance of selecting the most
capable member of that body as presi-
dent for the year 1888.

Oil Deal Unlikely.
OTTAWA, Ontario, December 81 (P).
A government decision on a proposal
to barter Canadian cattle for Russian
oil appeared today to be unlikely for
some time.
Difficulties have arisen which were
expected to delay an official statement
on the plan calling for the exchange
OF about 100000 worth of cattle for
OIL and petroleum products from Soviet
Russia
1t was rumored that one leading oil
distributor had declined to handle Rus
sian oil because of established agencies
! of supply in the United States and
South America. Difficulty in paying
the farmers for the cattle also was an
ticipated unless the government agreed
to back a bond issue, since Russia was
not to furnish cash
Banks Would Aid.
| Canadian banks would be prepared to
discount the bonds up to a percentage
| Of their face value If the Canadian gov
! ernment guaranteed them, and the gov
eminent is said to be unwilling to do
this.
The chief idea Of the Western syndi-
cate is to find market for the surplus
cattle of the Western plains. With ex-
port to the United States shut of by a
| high tariff and with the British market
unable to absorb Canadian cattle in
appreciable volume, they turned to Rus
sia as the only country in the world
ready to take large numbers of cattle.

DR. Simon Flexner, director of
the laboratories Of the Rockefeller
Institute For Medical Research,
announced this discovery in report

with infantile paralysis. he said
that certain other viruses utilize

In his experiments with mon

disease indistinguishable from that
affecting man.
The Infection was produced by
instilling the virus-a suspension
in salt solution of the spinal cord
Of q paralyzed monkey-into the
nose. From seven to ten days after
the installation, symptoms Of in

Judge Jennings said the allega-

the plaintiff. He adds, SIT may
be that for reasons stressed in the

tiff will be unable to substainti-

Judge Jennings states that he
