Catholic Church Farm, Tenanted
by r. E. Aiken, NIiddletown, Burns

The farm house on one of the
Catholic Church farms, tenanted
by Richard E. Aiken, was totally
destroyed by fire early Thursday
morning. The origin of the fire is
unknown, but the members of the
Aiken family discovered the fire
about $3.50 o'clock, and all of them
escaped in their night clothes, and
the house and contents were all
consumed. The Middletown fire
company was summoned, but ow-
ing to the side road leading from
Warwick, Md, to the farm being
blocked with snow, the firemen
were unable to reach the burning
house. Both the buildings and
contents were partially covered by
insurance.

procuring higher rates. Mr.. Gron-

fair rate base"
Il know of no reason why a
public service corporation, enjoying
monopolistic privileges granted by
the state, should earn money on
anything other than actual dollars
invested in property used to serve
the public. BY reason of these and
other privileges conferred by law
the utility is taken out of the field
of competition in which speculative
returns might be justified.

Patronage Rule Revolt Showers Ire
of Democrats on Postmaster Farley
Republicans Fill Vacancies,
Petition in Congress
Declares.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
Times Special Writer.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 11.-Long
smoldering resentment against
Postmaster General James A. Far
ley's patronage rule broke into open
revolt today when a group Of house
Democrats, mostly fledgelingS from
the middle and northwest, were
successful in forcing a party eau
Gus to air their grievances.
These concern primarily the de-
lay in rewarding deserving Demo-
Gratis" and the filling of some va
cancies with Republicans. This has
served to diminish the reputation
Of congressman in their home dis
tricts, they say.
Responsible for the long-expect-
ed attack on Mr.. Farley, which, it
is carefully explained, does not in
volve President Roosevelt, is Rep
resentative Terry McGovern Car
penter, a Incorporating young
man Of "a, who halls from Nebraska,
wears spectacles and does not look
fierce, though he has plenty of
energy.
Necessary Names Obtained
Capitalizing on lenient Demo-
cratic rules, he circulated a petit
ton which today was the necessary
twenty-five signatures to force
party caucus. The date for it has
not been set
Mr. Carpenter wants the caucus
to pass a resolution setting out a
bill of complaints which a commit
tee would take down to the White
House and lay before President
Roosevelt. Undoubtedly party lead
ers will seek to squelch any such
move, though they can not stop the
caucus.
The chief complaint in the petit
ton concerns the farm credit adj
ministration.
Protest Republican Jobs
1--WE believe" the petition declares,
that in great many cases people
are being employed who are unsym-
pathetic both with the intent of the
law as passed by congress and with
UIlC dQllllI1SGIdUlOIl VI U1lG SdIu6 10
the detriment of the Democratic
party and the program of the Presi-
dent"
Mr.. Carpenter protests not only
that Republicans are being appoint
ed to jobs in his locality, but that
some are ''standpat Republicans"
I'VE would not object to progress
sive Republicans" he declared.
Similar Move Checked
Signing the petition we're men,
bers from Nebraska, Kansas, Wash
ington, Illinois, Colorado, Kentucky,
Rhode Island, Michigan, Virginia,
South Dakota, Iowa, Pennsylvania
and Texas.
Postmaster General Farley ap-
peased a similar revolt last June by
a personal appearance before as
sembIed house Democrats. Whether
he will choose to undertake another
personal appearance remains to be
seen.

THE adoption of the amount

render the proceedings peculiarly

the day when an aroused public
opinion will crush these evil prac-
tees"

QUICK PASSAGE
FOR MORTGAGE
BILL FORESEEN
Measure to Guarantee Farm
Bond Principal Wins
Strong Support.

bN Z NittN russ
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Con-
gressional leaders prepared today to
give right of way next week to a
bill carrying out President RooSe-
velt's proposed guarantee of princi-
pal as we'll as interest of $4,000 .0O0.-
900 III authorized farm credit bonds.
Early action was sought so that
the administration program for
aiding mortgage burdened farmers
may be speeded up from its lag,
caused according to some, by re-
luctance of mortgage holders to &C
cept the bonds. on which only in
terest has been guaranteed.
Chairman Marvin Jones of the
house agriculture committee pre-
dicted that the measure would i'm
mediately accelerate the refinancing
movement.
Meanwhile signs of Republican
opposition arose in the house to such
principal guarantees, based on be-
lief that the trend might lead to
such a bond guarantee structure
that the market for federal securi-
ties would be adversely affected.
The bill, introduced by Mr. Jones
yesterday after the Presidents
message on the subject was read,
sets up a Federal Farm Mortgage
Corporation to supervise the f1nanc-
ing. Under the Agricultural Ad-
justment Act authority was given
for issuance of $1,000, 100000 of farm
mortgage bonds.
Mr.. Jones and other agriculture
leaders of the house predicted that
the principal-guarantee provision
would have the effect of requiring
in a short time all of the authorized
issue.

DO SOMETHING
WALLACE PLEA
TO u. S. PUBLIC
Agriculture Secretary Urges
Nation to Make Up
Its Mind.
BY LYLE G. WILSON
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ii The
American people have not yet COM
pretended the full extent of the
changes they must go through
either in the way of acreage re-
duction on the one hand or in
creased imports on the other, Henry
A. Wallace, secretary of agriculture
told the United Press today in ar
interview discussing farm problems
Mr.. Wallace, vigorously outspoker
executive, has tackled a problem
which defeated the best minds OF
three Republican administrations.
1--WE have been postponing max
ing up our minds since the war,
Mr.. Wallace said. I'VE can't de-
lay much longer. The people of
this country must find out what all
this is about, and make up their
minds on it.
THE danger I see is that some
Of the people who are affected by
the processing tax may get it into
their heads to start a drive against
processing taxes without being will
ing to go down the line on an effec-
tive substitute"
Mr.. Wallace has his own ideas Of
the manner in which agriculture
should work itself out of a corner
but he is not committed to an ex-
tent that rules out the ideas OF
others.
Discussing an effective substitute
for the processing tax, MIR. Wal
lace suggested there were five al
ternatives:
l. Taking from the general treas
ury money for benefit payments in
consideration of control of produc-
ton.
2. An extensive program of gov
eminent land purchase.
g. A sufficiently great increase in
imports to take care of the interest
on debts owed the United States by
foreign nations and foreign nation
ais and in addition to pay us a de-
cent price for our surplus cotton
wheat, lard and tobacco.
4. Price fixing, accompanied by
licensing of every plowed field and
compulsory control of every farm
er's marketing with rigid differ
entails between domestic markets.
5. Let things drift as they drifted
in 1912
Mr.. Wallace believes the country
should continue with the processing
tax until some one of the first four
alternatives or some combination of
them has commended itself to the
American people and to congress
so that they are willing to embrace
such a policy sufficiently to obtain
accomplishment of the work now
being done by the processing tax.
However, the problem may be
worked out. Mr.. Wallace believes it
will involve a certain amount of
governmental control of some kind.

URGES REAL ESTATE
AS GOOD SECURITY
Property Owners Called Heroes of
Depression by Lawyer.

Real estate, as a home and as
an investment, must return to the
classification of good security" Miss
Bess Robbins, attorney and state
representative, told members of the
Apartment Owners Association at
a meeting yesterday in the Wash
ington.
Property owners who furnished
homes to persons unable to pay rent,
were the real heroes of the depres-
sion," she said.
Pointing out that ways of loosen
ing commercial credit will occupy an
important place in the attention Of
congress during the present session,
Miss Robbins praised a bill intro
duced by Representative Ludlow
Jan. 8 which would provide for a
broadening of the loan bases so that
the RFC might lend directly to APP
proved industries funds to be used
as working capital.
