FARMERS FEAR
THEY'RE STUCK
ON u. s. BILLS.
TrembIe as Government
Expenditures Mount;
Point to 'Payoff.'
CAPITAL AID SPEAKS
Bureaus Representative at
Washington Sees Future
Load Peril.

Farmers are watching closely the
government depression battle eX-
penditures rearing they will have to
carry the future repayment load,
Chester H. Gray, Washington repre-
sentative of the Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton, said today.
Mr.. Gray spoke to several hundred
Indiana farmers assembled in Tom
linson Hall, attending the threeday
meeting of the Indiana Farm Bu-
reau, Inc.
Chief speaker this afternoon was
to be Rush D. Holt, youthful Sen
ator from West Virginia. He was to
arrive in Indianapolis shortly be-
fore he was slated to address the
convention.
Explains Opposition
The Farm Bureau is against
Federal sales taxes and manufacture
ing excise taxes because these con-
tain hidden methods of making the
farmers and other consumers pay
the Federal debts over the retail
counter Mr.. Gray said.
The farmers now are awake tc
the necessity of holding down eX-
penses. They have had an approx
ing and tolerant attitude toward
Federal expenditures because of the
efforts to remove the depression.
They know the pay day will
come. And they think the time is
near when extra Federal eXpendi-
lures, if continued, might be curse
on the future with no particular
blessing bestowed on the present.
They are worrying now that they
might be required to pay the Fed
eral debt through the imposition of
a Federal sales tax"
Would Relieve Railroads
Mr.. Gray suggested the railroads
be relieved of some of the regula-
tory restrictions now in force in or
der that they might be able to COM
pete more ably in the nations trans
portation program. He pointed out
that the railroad still is one of the
farmers outstanding modes of mar
ket contact.
The depression has ended among
Indiana farmers, Walter F. Calm,
Production Credit Corp. president,
Louisville, told the delegates earlier.
To illustrate this, Mr.. Calm told
the delegates that farmers who have
had loans with the Federal Land
Bank of Louisville during the de-
preston now are paying interest,
and in many instances, principal.
He lauded the land bank as a
sound aid to agriculture
Bares Huge Gains
In May, 1888, he said, the loans
to farmers numbered 1851 for
total of $43 100000, while two years
later. in this month, the loans num-
Der $4,000 and total 1925, 900.
The national farm loan associa-
tons, he said, marketed their mort
cages through the land bank, which
stood by them during the depres-
sion.
Interest rates of 81 per cent, he
said, meant saving of 81 100000
to Indiana farmers in the last IL
months.

BIZ United Press

duStries.
Augusta De Vansconcllos of Por-
tugal, chairman of the general
staff" committee of 18 key nations,

SEE VIOLENT CREDIT
INITIATION ON WAY
Federal Council Alarmed by
Bank Reserves Gain.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21-Mem-
bers of the Federal Advisory Coun-
Gil discussed today with the Fed
eral Reserve Board the question of
mounting excess bank reserves
which may be preparing the way
for violent credit initiation.
1t was not learned whether any
recommendations to cope with the
situation were made by the council
which comprises representatives
from each of the Federal Reserve
districts.
With excess bank reserves above
100000, it was seen the base had
been laid for credit imitation of
100000, 100000, by this factor alone
This was believed the principal
problem now facing Reserve Board
governors and it was understood
virtually all the councils time was
devoted to the excess reserve situa-
ton.

Can Do

Edgar Ashby, indianapolis,
is president of the Indiana
Gamers AsSocia ton, and nat
urally knows his vegetables.
Accordingly, when he told 600
members meeting here this
afternoon in annual conven-
ton that if, on four conSecu-
tive days, every one of the ma
tons l26 millions ate one can
of peas there would be 36l days
when there absolutely would be
no canned peas, delegates were
all attention.
They agreed with Mr.. AShby's
argument the industry faced
problem of underselling rather
than overproGuction and &C
cordingly there is much room
for business expansion.
incidentally, Mr.. Ashby dis
closed that although the 1885
pack of major vegetables ex-
ceeds that of 1884 the market
is sound and an increase in
canned goods sold over the
counter is in prospect.

u. S. Prepared to Act

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-The
United States is prepared to resist
any attempts by Japan to obtain
at least implied approval of her
militaristic ventures in China, at
the forthcoming London Naval Con-
ference, it was indicated today by
authoritative sources.
Officials here anticipate that the
Orient's Pandora S box" of inter
national political issues will be
opened early in the conference, with
the japanese delegation angling for
implied recognition of Manchukuo,
the puppet regime established in the
former Manchurian provinces of
China, and possibly also the more
ambitious japanese plan to estab-
lish a so-called autonomous govern
ment in north China under Japa-
nese tutelage.

the boulevard would be endangered
by flying golf balls.
Jacket w. Joseph, board pres
ident, said that the board would
plant heavy shrubs along the border
that would keep sliced golf balls on
the course.
The golfers then asked the plans
be drawn so there would not be
two, but only one bridge over Pleas
ant Run. The board said that was
impossible.
Golfers asked that the Arlington
av bridge be set farther away from
the parkway bridge that had been
proposed. The board said that
couldn't be done because the land
was not available.
The board read several long let
ters from Irvington business men
saying the board must proceed with
its plans regardless of the golfers.
Whereupon the golfers planked
down on the desk petitions they said
were signed by $500 persons pro-
testing the improvement.
Mr.. Joseph invited the grounds
committee to meet with the board
Monday night at to go over the
whole thing and get it ironed out.

Stephenson entered the
prison Nov. 81, 1925 after his
conviction for the murder OF
Miss Madge Oberholtzer, In
dianapolis woman.
The writ was obtained on a petit
ton signed by Atty. Gen. Philip
Lutz Jr. and Edward BARGE deputy
attorney general, in behalf of
Warden Louis Kunkel.
Charging that Circuit Judge Writ
G. Worden of La Porte County is
invading the jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court, the states attor-
neys ask that he be restrained from
acting further Oh the former Ku-
KluX Khan leaders writ of habeas
corpus.
Judge Worden is to appear be-
fore the Supreme Court Dec. 2.
OverruIed Motion to Quash
Judge Worden recently overruled
the states motion to quash Ste
phenSon's petition. Mr. Lutz md
Mr.. BARGE then countered with
motion for change of judge on the
hearing on the writ itself. Judge
Worden had announced he would
rule Friday on the judge change
motion, but the Supreme Courts
action today will make that I'M
necessary.
Mr.. Lutz and Mr.. BARGE charge in
their petition today that Judge
Worden is proceeding to nullify and
set aside two competent judgments
in the Stephenson life-term conyic-
ton for the murder of Miss Madge
Oberholtzer, Indianapolis.
First of these judgments was
StephenSon's conviction by Hamil-
ton Circuit Court, the appeal from
which was denied by the Supreme
Court. The other was the Supreme
Courts unfolding of LaPorte Su-
perior Courts denial of a writ OF
habeas corpus.
Fails to Show Respect
The States prohibition writ Pc
tition charges that Judge Worden,
by recently overruling the state mo-
ton to quaSh, has failed to yield
obedience and respect to the Su-
preme Court, inasmuch as the high
court already has passed on the
questions of law involved.
Unless Judge Worden is re-
strained, the petition charges. he
will proceed to assume and usurp
the jurisdiction of the Supreme
Court and retry the entire murder
case.
The States persistently raised
contention that one court can not
pass on the legal acts of another
court of coordinate Jurisdiction, is
repeated.
Acts of Court Affirmed
The Hamilton County Court was
established as a court of competent
jurisdiction. it is pointed out. and
its acts affirmed by the Supreme
Court
Repeated retracing of the legal
grounds IN the case by further court
actions will near only more and
more expense TO the states taxpay-
ers. the petition alleges
If Judge Worden fails TO show
proper cause why the temporary
writ should not be made permanent,
attorneys say Stephenson's last
avenue of escape from the State
Prison will be closed.
