That's why I'm sure the Republican
party will offer constructive pro-
gram for 1910"
Senator Capper said the swing
against the administration in farm
regions was demonstrated in the last
election.
In NY home State, which is more
or less typical, we elected six Re-
publican Representative out of sew
en-, and another Republican Senator, -
the kansan said This administra-
ton has tried to help farmers, but
out over the country they are not
very happy, especially about farm
prices"
The Kansas Senator said Republi-
cans were working out farm policy
that would meet general approval.
There is less factionalism in the
Republican party than I've seen for
many years. he said. NO one is
out trying to gobble up delegates
for the convention. The sentiment
of the country will decide the party
nominee and party platform"
Senator Capper said he favored re-
tention of the soil conservation pro-
gram and some system of parity
payments when the farmer needs
them"
You can call it subsidy or any
thing you wish, but when the farm
er has to have help, the Govern
ment must act the Kansan said.

Harrison Forecasts
Social Security
Liberalization
Sees ConnoIIy Plan
As Hell IpfuI for
New Federal Scale
By 7. A. O'LEARY.

Further liberalization of the Social
Security Act AS 1t relates to State
old-age pension systems will be ad-
vocated at the coming session of
Congress, it was indicated today by
Chairman Harrison of the Senate
Finance Committee.
The Mississippian made known
his belief that the Connally amend
ment, which failed at the last Ses-
sion, would prove helpful n making
more adequate provision for aged,
needy persons, particularly IN
States that are unable to increase
their share of the pensions to which
the Federal Government now con-
tributes on an equal matching basis
Sponsored by Senator Cunnally,
Democrat, of Texas, the amendment
provided that the Federal Govern
ment would put up two-thirds of
the first SIS and match State funds
on an equal basis above that point,
but not to exceed a total pension
of $40 month. In other words, the
Federal Government would have
added $40 to State pension OF SIS
and dollar for dollar above the SIS
level. If the State law went to the
$40 maximum, the Federal share
would be S22.50.
Promised Another Fight,
When the proposal died IN con-
ference last July, Senator Connally
served notice the fight for it would
be revived later.
Under the original Social Security
Act, the Federal Government
matches State pensions equally up
to SIS, which means it may provide
half Of $50 pension. Amendments
made to the act at the last session
authorize the Social Security Board
to begin on January l matching
State payments up to $40, or a
total of $40
In actual practice, however, this
will afford virtually no additional
Federal aid in the immediate fu-
ture, since the States generally have
not yet reached the old maximum
of $50 on the SIS Federal matching
basis.
California Above $50.
Data submitted to the Senate
when it was debating the question
showed that California was the only
State where the $50 maximum had
been reached or exceeded. At that
time the average monthly pension
in California was $3243. The ma
tional average at that time was
given as $1955, and in some of the
Southern States the monthly pay
ments were averaging somewhere
between $40 and $6 a month.
Commenting yesterday on another
proposed change in the law being
considered by Senator Wagner,
Democrat, of New York to allow
the Social Security Board to sell
voluntary old-age annuities to per-
sons not covered by the payroll
tax for retirement benefits, Senator
Harrison expressed the view such a
plan would be desirable for those
who have the means to purchase an
annuity. He emphasized, however,
that the Connally amendment is
designed to take care of those who
are already old and in need of
assistance.

+ arm Vote 10 Decide
Presidential Election,
Capper Predicts
Believes Republicans
Will Offer Conservative
Program in 1910
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Capper, Republican, of
Kansas predicted today that the
farm vote would determine whether
the next President was a Democrat
or Republican.
The gray-haired Senator and farm
journal publisher suggested this was
why Republican party leaders were
devoting so much effort to shaping
party agriculture policy.
It think the Northern farm belt
will decide the 1910 presidential elec-
ton. and things look mighty good for
the Republicans right now" Senator
Capper said in an interview.
If farm prices are low and stay
low for several years as they have
recently there is an inevitable swing
to the farm belt against the party in
power.
Every voter knows now that we
can't have any general prosperity
unless the farmer is making money.

CLOSED SEASON
| ON MUSkRATS
Conservation Heads Allege Rat
Population Not Enough to
Justify 1889 Trapping.

According to an order issued by Con-
servation Commissioner Herman G.
Wenzel and Director Harry E. Speakes
Of the division of game and fish, Min
nesota will not have an open season
for muskratS this year.
The order followed the recommends
ton of department wildlife tech
nicians and a statewide survey by game
wardens indicating that the present
muskrat population is not large enough
to justify an open season.
All state game wardens were sent
questionnaireS to determine muskrat
conditions in their territory. Fffty-six
of the wardens reported improved con-
ditions while seventy-five reported no
improvement. Twenty reported an in
crease of five to twenty per cent in
the muskrat population. Sixty-four re-
ported a decrease while forty-one re-
ported no change. Thirty-six recon-
mended an open season while ninety
five recommended a closed season.
The entire state was covered in the
survey so that the technicians had a
picture of the whole musNat popula-
ton before them when they made the
recommendation for closed season.

Senate Votes Concessions
To Smaller Firms.

Action to relieve the smaller firms
from the payments required under the
state unemployment compensation act
received an impetus last week when
the state senate meeting as a committee
of the whole voted its approval of the
bill limiting the act to firms employ
ing eight or more persons.
Members of the senate from the rural
communities lined up almost solidly for
the change and turned back all attempts
to amend the bill. One amendment to
limit the coverage to firms employing
three or more persons was defeated by
a vote Of 38 to Is. The strength mus
tered in the senate is expected to add
some support to similar proposal in
the house when it comes up this week.
