Payrolls Hanpered
 By. Excessive Taxes
Crusaders Commander Cites Loss to Labor When MiI-
 lions Are Diverted to Government Securities

Mentor, Ohio, Aug. 13-Fred G. Clark, National Commander of the Crusaders, in an address broadcast last night over the. Mutual System of stations and the Yankee Net work, cited an example of how much public treasuries lost in tax receipts and how severely hmaper- ed are private payrolls when sex- cessive taxes are levied upon those furnishing the usual capital for private enterprise. Under the pro- posed tax scheme, a million dollar fund going into tax-empt securities would net about $6,0O to public coffers, through the tax upon in- come while, if the million dollars were invested in enterprise, about, $240,000 would go into taxes and labor would get about $52o,oOo of it.
 This is what Mir. Clark said: There can be little question about what would happen to this coun- try under a confiscatory tax pro- gram conceived in haste, famed by prejudice and engineered by political rabble-rousers. If 1t is tax revenue we want, let's be honest and face the facts. If we place exhorbitant taxes against men will ing to invest their seclurities or capital in commercial lines, the government puts htem in a position where. if they lose, they lose and, if they win, they still lose! And there are few able men willing to go ahead under those circum- stances"
 we scare the man who has the money with which to create pay rolls and prosperity nito putting his cash into tax exempt securities. He collects his interest and that's that! @ 70
 Why should he invest, work and worry when he could put his money out at two or three percent with comparative safety and neither work nor worry? That is just ex- actly what thousands of able men are faced with today.
 Let's see what would happen if taxes gave man a sporting chance so that he could get fair portion of what he did produce. He would take his million dollars worth of tax-exempt bonds to a bank and borrow $S00,O00 for commercial activity.
 $S00,0OO to Spur Business.
 "of this money, about $52O, 900 would go directly to labor and $200.000 into materials-$S00,0O worth of business that would cir- culate from one end of the com munity-and sometimes the coun- try--to. the other. Now-nearly 30 cents of every dollar put into cir culation goes into taxes, local, state and federal-so that this $S00.000 would result in about $240,000 in tax revenue to our government treasuries. But if we soak him with excessive taxes and he puts this million dollars into frozen securities, the tax on the $30,000 interest income from the securities would be just $6.000!
 "Its a staggering difference! Only $6,000 under the tax-the-able-

Emotion Big Factor

Politicians of both parties feel that New England is an isolated area temporarily emotional-and perhaps through 1936--over the processing tax. It's textile industry is in bad way and whether that's due to the AAA program as a whole. the processing tax in partic- ular, the memorable effect of southern low wage competition, or something else again is an aca- demic matter insofar as New Eng land voters are concerned.
 The fact that New England has gone sour on the administration is more important in political calculations than the somewhat faint-hearted alibis that republi- cans in the Rhode Island. district picked a more popular, oGtstand- ing candidate than did the demo- crats and that, altef all, the dem-

Chairman John J. O'Connor of the Rules Committee reminded them of that the other day when he pointed out that Jefferson's s Manual (of parliamentary proceed ure) had been incorporated into the rules of the House.
 He was by way of saying that for a long time he had been tempted to make a point of order against the "continuous fulmina- tions" of a certain congressman from Pennsylvania-"every time he has stood on this floor and whenever the House has. evil denced that they no longer de- sire to hear him." He read from the Manual:
 "No one is to disturb another in his speech by hissing, coughing, spittin, speaking or whispering to another, nor stand up to in- terrupt him, nor to pass between the Speaker and the speaking member, nor to go across the House, nor to walk up and down it, or to take books or papers from the table or to write there"
 
 So Pipe Down, Please
 But more important, continued O'Connor, was paragraph 365, entitled Parliamentary method of silencing a tedious member:
 Nevertheless, if a member finds that it is not the inclination of the House to hear him, and that by conversation or any other noise they endeavor to drown his voice, it is his prudent way to submit to the pleasure of the House, and sit down; for 1t scarcely ever happens that they are guilty of this piece of i'll man. ners without sufficient reason, or inattention to a member who says anything worth their hearing"
 Fact is, of course, admonitions of Jefferson's paragraph 365 have been- violated as often as any other rule with the possible ex- ception of the late lamerted 18th Amendment.

 Thus far the democrats whose job. it is to keep track of such things won't concede much of any thing outside of New England. They're dead certain of the south and west, they claim = though some confess vague worries as to the Mountain states-if you press them-and can't see much reason to worry in the important tier of states running from New York to Illinois.
 Just between you and me, things, are happening so rapidly these days--politically and other wise-that no one should draw any strong conclusions about 1936 from anything that happens this month or next or the one after.

Soy Beans Differ
in Various Ways
Pods With One Seed, Some
With Two, Three and
Others Four.
BY DR.. c., NJ. Woodwork. Chief in Plant
Breeding. University of Illinois.-WNU

Breeding. University Of Tlinois-wNU
Service.
Illinois rapid rise to the national
leadership in soy bean production and
the prospects for still further in
crease in acreage during the coming
year are drawing attention Of farmers
and plant breeders to marked differ
ences between varieties of this crop.
The record crop of nine and half
million bushels in Illinois in 1884 was
valued at more than eight million dol
lars and represented 50 per cent of the
national production.
Soy bean varieties have been found
to vary not only in seed color but also
In many other characters affecting
their commercial production. These diff
ferences will become increasingly i'm
portant as the production of the crop
expands.
One of the important characters in
which varieties differ is in the number
of seeds to pod. There are some pods
with only one seed, some with two
seeds, others with three, and still
others with four. Usually there are
very few one-seeded and four-seeded
pods in given variety. Varieties also
differ in the proportion of the differ
ent-sized pods. The Ito San is FREEDOM
inantly two-seeded type and the Illi-
nj, three-seeded type.
In experiments on breeding soy
ia
high percentage of one-seeded pods.
Two or three newly introduced varie-
ties from the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture show higher pro-
portion of four-seeded' pods than any
commercial varieties now being grown.
Tests prove that these varieties breed
true for the particular proportions
found Indicating that the character Is
inherited.
Contrary to what might be expected,
the varieties having high proportion
of four-seeded pods are not as good
yielders as many varieties with
majority of two-seeded pods. The four
seeded types usually produce small
plants bearing a much smaller num-
Der of pods than the taller-growing,
higher-yielding two-seeded varieties.
Furthermore, it is difficult to COM
bine the four-seeded character of a
variety with the good character of an
other variety This is only one Of the
complications in improving soy beans
for still more important place in
American agriculture.

Weed Seeds in Roughage,
New Problem for Farmers

Seeds Of many unwelcome weeds are
arriving on farms in the drouth states
in hay and other shipped-in roughage.
These seeds, say forage specialists Of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, present a problem that should
put farmer on guard.
Most of these imported" seeds will
be deposited around barnyards or in
feedlots. They will be carried to other
parts of the farm by animals, mostly
in manure. The longer barnyard or
feedlot manure is kept from fields, the
greater the probability that weed seeds
will not terminate. One precaution is
to put manure-from horse barns espe-
cially-into piles 6 or more feet in
depth and allow it to remain there for
60 days or more. Farmers should be
particularly alert to make sure that
the few new weeds that do grow either
around the barnyard or in fields are de-
stroyed before they have chance to
propagate further.
