In Marking officials said the Ma
tional government was determined to
meet with force any attempt to force
autonomy on the territory south of
Hopei and Chahar provinces, and the
executive Yuan proclaimed five sweep
ing reforms designed to stop the spread
of the movement. Chang was hurry
ing large bodies of troops to the north
ward. He also sought to hold the sup
port of the Shantung war lord, Han
Fu-chu, by entrusting him with the
defense of the northern Honan and
Shantung frontiers and promising him
money and supplies, if needed, to stem
invasion. Han Fu-chu of late has been
wooed assiduously by the Japanese.
Wang Ching-wei, premier and for

cabinet. He has not fully recovered
from the recent attempt to assassinate
him. Gen. Shang Chen, governor Of

the amount harvested this year.
After appraisal by community COM
mittees and review by county allot-
and market hog base will be fixed.
Cooperating producers must agree to
plant corn next year on at least 20
per cent of their base acreages. They
will be permitted to retire from
10 to 80 per cent of their base acreage
for soil-improving or erosiOn-preventing
purposes. Hog growers must agree
to produce between 80 and 100 per
cent of the base market production.
The 1896 corn adjustment payment
praised yield times the adjusted acre
age, less the pro rata share of local
administrative expenses.
Cora adjustment payments will be
made In two installments. The first,
at the rate of 20 bushel, is to be
made about August 1. The second will
come due about December 81, 1886, at
the rate of Is cents per bushel.
A payment of SIPS per head will
be made on each hog in the base.
Deductions will be made at the rate
of $3.50 per head if a producer fails
to raise so per cent of his base num-
bers. The total payment to a pro-
Queer will be the same for a produc-
ton ranging from so per cent to 100
per cent Of his base.
The 1887 rates will be announced
by November 80. 1896, but the rate on
corn will not be less than 80 cents
per bushel and the rate on hogs will
not be less than SIPS per head.

End of Federal Relief Shifts
Millions to WPA Rolls

MYTH the end of November direct
w federal relief came to an end,
and 1t was officially announced that
100000 persons had been shifted
from relief rolls to the WPA pay
rolls and put to work. Other millions
of employables who have been receiv-
ing the federal dole but who cannot
be hired by the Works Progress adj
ministration because state quotas have
been filed must be cared for by the
states which will be helped by the
final allotments made by the FERA
before 1t went out of existence. AS
for the ''unemployables," numbering
perhaps 100000, Aubrey Williams,
assistant administrator, said the prob
lem Of their care would be solved sat
isfactorily.
Statistical charts on the relief situa-
ton, prepared by the research section
of the FERA, were issued in pamphlet
form and show that unemployment de-
creased about 100000 in the first two
years Of the Roosevelt administration.

considered the keynote for his cam
paign for reelection, and definitely an
nounced his andidacy-unnecesSa
by asserting that life in the United
States has improved in the last two
and half years and will continue to
improve "if / have anything to do
with it."
Mr.. Roosevelt promised that lavish
government spending was over and
that the nation could look forward
with assurance to a decreasing deficit,
and asserted that the government
credit is higher thaA that of any other
great nation. He bitterly criticized
the treasury policies prior to his en-
trance into the White House, traced
the relief policies as opposed to doles
and declared that the peak of appro-
priations has passed.
The President said farm income in
the United States has risen since 1882
a total of nearly three billions and this
additional farm income has meant the
rebirth of city business, the reopen
ing of closed factories, the doubling
of automobile production, the improve
ment of transportation and the giving
of new employment to millions of
people,"
1.-The word progress" concluded
Mr.. Roosevelt, "is a better word than
recovery, for it means not only a
sound business and a sound agricul-
ture from the material point of view,
but it means, with equal Importance,
sound improvement in American life
as a result of continuing and forceful
effort on the part of our people, and,
through them, on the part of their gov
eminent. l am certain that that is
your pr: pose; and that is why l con-
tinue my confidence, my faith in the
people of America"
In those phrases and in his high
praise of the New Deal experiments,
the President made clear his intention
of carrying on his program for alter
ing and lettering the social and eco
nomic life of the American people re-
gardless of the return of material
prosperity.
Governor Talmadge of Georgia, who
though a Democrat is severe critic
of the President and many of his poll
cies, pointedly absented himself from
the meeting in Atlanta, spending the
day on his farm. Several days later
he replied to Mr.. RoOseveit's speech in
q radio address.
Republican opinion of the Presi-
dents address might be summarized
in the remark of Harrison e. Spang-
Ter, director of the Chicago G. o. p.
headquarters: "Gulliver has started
his travels again and Wen all be hear
ing some more tall stories"

Potato Control Act Is
Now in Effect

THE potato control act, which pro-
vides for a tax of three-fourths of
cent pound on all potatoes har
vested after December 1 and sold in
excess of a national allotment, is now
in effect. The first crop to which it
will apply, according to AAA officials.
will be harvested late in December
An allotment of 226.6OO,OOO bushels
was fixed by the AAA a month ago.
Officials said this allotment was large
enough to cover the amount of pota-
toes usually sold in year and that
few persons would be required to pay
the tax.
Each grower will receive from a
county committee tax exemption
stamps to cover the amount of his
allotment. The law says these stamps
must be attached to packages when
the potatoes are sold. Buyers and
sellers of unstamped potatoes are liza
BILE to a $1,000 fine.

ordinary expenses. On the surface 1t
appears that this budget will aggre-
gate about S4,OOO,OOO, OOO-just about
the same as the budget for ordinary
expenses of the government in the
current 12-month period. But there
has been no indication yet what the
total of the extraordinary expenditures
of the government will be.
We have, as you know, really two
budgets. The ordinary budget is like
the budget that has been used since
the passage of the budget and ac-
counting act in 1922. 1t covers the
running expenses of all of the estab-
lished governmental agencies, provides
for all field work and carries appropri-
atoms for payment of interest ON the
government debt and a bite or two for
retirement of outstanding bonds. The
extraordinary expenditures under Pres
ident Roosevelt's practices have been
handled separately, being passed by
congress in the form of a resolution
for recovery and relief or some other
such language making a lump appro-
priation.
1t will be a matter then to which at
tention should be paid when the reg
ular budget goes to congress and the
President in his annual message gives
some idea of what he proposes to
spend for relief and recovery later on.
The two must be taken together. Fur
ther, believe if past practices are re.
peated, there will be White House re-
quests for supplementary appropria-
tons for the ordinary expenditures as
well so that the total may not be dis.
closed for several months after con.
gresS meets.

Death.

The condition of Charles Frederick

as critical at City Hospital. but the
general belief of those familiar with
the case is that the old battler has
about won his fight against death
this time.
They are convinced, however, that
the fall he took last Tuesday in
front of the police station, and the
resultant skull fracture, are merely
results of a more serious and I'M
DERIVING illness that must be cor
rected.
They point out that his skull has
been fractured several times, and
that he has had other injuries to
his head that all seem to have con-
tributed to a condition that occa-
sionally renders him suddenly I'M
conscious as it did last Tuesday.

New Reciprocal Trade
Treaty ELECTS Many Bou-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Bou-
quetS and brickbats for the newly
concluded United States Canadian
reciprocal trade treaty Wero h0op0d
today upon the desk of Secretary
Of Stae Cordell Hull.
Most Of the bouquets were tossed
by Administration officials who had
a hand in negotiating the agree
ment, but there were a few faint
cheers from the sidelines by repre-
sentatives of industries whose prod
ucts are expected to benefit in
dollars and cents.
The brickbats were from repre-
sentatives of the Northwest lumber
industry; the livestock and dairy
interests; the American liquor in
dustry. and from Senator Thomas
D. Schall (Rep), MINI.
Both the cheers and complaints
were anticipated. In fact, the first
cheer, in the form of an official
statement by Secretary of Agricul-
ture Henry A. Wallace outlining the
benefits which the administration
believes will accrue to American
agriculture from the treaty, OBJ
viously was prepared in advance, be-
fore any kicks were received, to Off
set possible complaints from agri-
culture leaders.
Wallace said the treaty would
benefit "the whole of agriculture"
and predicted recovery of most of
the $35 100000 decline in United
States agricultural exports to Can
ada during the past five years.
