TOXIC, Nov. 2.-Creation OF q
highly centralized Japanese govern
ment, with all power in the hands Of
an imperial headquarters" Of not
more than six men, apparently was in
the ofing today.
Observers said they believed Premier
Prince Fumimaro Konoye, War Min
lister General Gen. Sugiyama and
Naval Minister Admiral Mitsumasa
Yonai would present to the Nation
such plan for taking over most func-
tions Of the parliament and cabinet.
Some quarters said proposals to
create the imperial headquarters" in
dicated Japan either saw the necessity
Of waging long war in China or be-
lieved a third power, possibly Great
Britain, might interfere in any peace
negotiations.
Drastic Revision Develops.
Reports that some drastic govern
ment revision was developing circu-
lated widely as Konoye, Sugiyama and
Yonai held series Of unscheduled
conferences. -
During the Chinese Japanese War
Of 1s94-95 an Imperial headquarters"
was established when the Emperor
moved to Hiroshima to be nearer the
scene Of hostilities. A similar move
was made during the Russo-Japanese
War Of 1904-05.
Z In each instance, military and
naval chieftains gathered under one
roof and all government came from
them.
The Toxic newspaper Nichi Nichi
said: The government clearly indi-
Gates the Chinese incident Is vaster
than the Chinese-Japanese or the
Russian : Japanese wars. Therefore,
the value of such step Creation Of
an imperial headquarters) cannot be
doubted"

Informed oficials at the Agriculture
Department said today the Govern.
ment would lend Sc cents a bushel on
this years corn crop.
These informants said details of the
loan program would be announced by
Secretary Wallace within a few DAYS
They said the program would CORE.
spond in general to previous Govern
:nent corn loans.
The 50-cent loan will be made on
corn sealed on the farm, testing l41s
per cent moisture content or less.
Farmers Ask 50 Cents.
Farm organizations had asked a CO.
cent-a-bushel loan on this years crop
and Secretary Wallace said a loan OF
about 46 cents would correspond to
the 9-cent-a-pound Government loan
on this years cotton crop.
President Roosevelt paved the way
yesterday for the loan by ordering
financial machinery set up by the Re-
construction Finance Corp.
The first administration corn loan
on the 1888 crop was at IS cents a
bushel, we'll above market prices at
the time. Government agencies ad-
vanced s120,000,000 on the 1888 crop.
A loan of SIS cents bushel was made
on the 1884 crop, which was cut short
by drought. A total of $11,0O0,000
was advanced on this loan.
Rate Reduced on 1885 Crop.
The rate was reduced to IS cents
a bushel on the 1885 crop and total
Of $13,000,000 advanced to farmers.
The 1886 program was aimed at
conserving seed corn supplies.
Agriculture Department spokesmen
said about $85,000,00O would be pro-
vided shortly by the Commodity Credit
Corp. for the new corn loans.
This would permit loans on about
ITO, 5000 bushels.
Meanwhile, the House Agriculture
Committee has completed a tentative
draft OF a broad crop control bill,
minus the controversial marketing
quotas.
Members of the committee, hasten
ing work on the bill, were so divided
over marketing restrictions that they
voted to remove them for the time
being before sending the first draft to
the printers.
The general regulatory provisions of
the tentative measure were described
as having been designed primarily for
cotton, wheat and rice on q voluntary
basis.
The committee virtually has agreed
on separate, compulsory control for
tobacco, based on system of MARKET
ing quotas and stiff penalties imposed
on purchases Of tobacco sold in excess
Of the quotas.
Some committee members said the
tentative elimination Of marketing
quotas for other crops was caused
largely by opposition from Cotton State
representatives. Chairman Fulmer of
the Cotton Subcommittee has voiced
his disapproval.
Mr.. Roosevelt telegraphed Chairman
Jesse H. Jones of the r. F. c. that he
had been considering Commodity
Credit Corp. loans, including corn
loans, aggregating about $S5, ,000, 900.
The President asked that the R. F.
G. be prepared to make the necessary
advances, pending legislation, to give
the Commodity Credit Corp. ample
capital and authority to raise the funds
necessary for It's operations through
the sale Of its own obligation"

CRIME IN THE UNITED STATES

Chief man, j. Edgar Hoover, in a
recent article in the Casualty Insuror,'' an
insurance magazine, stated that there are
100000 persons in the United States who
are engaged in the commission of felonies,
according to the Temperance Facts Bureau.
Last year murder was committed every
forty minutes; robbery every ten minutes !;
a burglary every two minutes; a larceny
every A seconds. The total known num-
Der of major crimes committed during the
year was 1,333,526 to which should be
added large number of crimes not re-
ported to any agency for crime apprehen-
sion, and the millions of minor offenses.
Mr.. Hoover places the annual cost of crime
to the people of the United States at $751;
900 100000. In other words every time
the clock ticks off second we pay 1887
for crime. The burden on every Amer
lean, including the children, is $40 per
month. A family of five, paying $50 per
month for rent, pays like amount on the
average, to keep up our jails and other
penal institutions, our criminal courts and
our agencies for crime apprehension. For
every dollar we pay for college education
we pay $50 for crime.

A WATER LOTTERY

Recently writer for the Nashville
Banner, digging into old records, found
some interesting bits of history, including
a copy of an act of the Tennessee legisla-
ture authorizing a lottery to provide funds
for Nashville's first water system.
The act, passed on November 8, 1909,
read as follows:
"Be it enacted by the General As
sembly of the State of Tennessee that the
Mayor and Aldermen of the town of Nash
vile, and they are hereby vested with full
power and authority to make and pro-
vide for the drawing and conclusion of a
lottery for the purpose of bringing water
into said town, under such rules and re-
strictions and regulations as they may
deem proper.
provided they do not by said lottery,
gain more than the net sum of $4,000,
which said moneys, or so much thereof as
they may raise by virtue of said lottery,
shall form fund, to be then expended in
bringing water into said town, and through
the different streets thereof, for the gen.
eral benefit of the inhabitants III
The lottery, held according to the
act, raised $7,S22.45, and the funds. were
used for the specified purpose. Al 3ai .. q

JUST AN ECHO

The so-ealled Liberty League. which
exploded with a boom about eighteen
months ago, reports receipts of $4,000 in
the first six months OF 1887.
The money came from Irenee du
Pont, who seems to be the only financial
hacker left for the organization which
was largely supported by members of his
family.
There are citizens who remember

NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN

There are individuals in Key West
of middle age who believe that they are
too old to study, that youth is the time for
mental development and that once per-
son passes forty the day of learning is
past.
They might be interested in the
opinion of Frank N. Freeman. professor Of
educational psychology at the University
of Chicago, who says that adults up to
middle life can learn better than children
and as well as youths. Adults he says,
"are likely to regard the necessity Of eft,
fort as an indication that they are past the
learning period when as a matter of fact
serious learning requires some resolution
and application.
The real obstacles to adult study, he
finds, are decline in curiosity, preoccupa-
ton with the business of making living,
lack of guidance and compuIsion to learn.
In other words, the older persons do not
care to learn if it requires effort which is
not much of compliment for the average
adult.
