KANSAS CITY. Jan. 1O-Facing
an estimated $1,500,O00 deficit, city
officials sent 5000 municipal en-
ployes scurrying in search of per-
sonal loans today in lieu of their
salaries for the next four months.
City Manager H. F. McElroy said
the employees would be paid In full
but indicated none of their salaries
for the final four months of the
fiscal year ending April 80 would be
available before the fiscal year start
ing May l.
To tide them over, employees were
urged to seek loans. One plan under
consideration would permit large
groups of workers to give notes, in
dorsed by city officials, for mass
loans at a low interest rate. The
employees then could file q friendly
suit to collect their pay after
April 30.
Each of the last few years the
city has solved its year-end deficit
by slashing employees pay Is to so
per cent for the final four or five
months.
In an effort to prevent a heavy
deficit this year end, the City Coun-
Gil last September slapped 2-cent-
a-package tax on cigarettes. on
cials estimated the tax would yield
100000 a month, but it has pro-
duced barely half that amount to

Mentally and spiritually I have de-

Whether I would have the same
physical disorders If I hadn't been
In prison is problematical. I don't
believe I would"
Those close to him agreed with
his evaluation of his own develop

the labor movement had changed so
much Mooney was left far behind
during the years he was imprisoned
for the 1916 San Francisco Pre-

He is probably the best informed

world at large" said George r.

Labor leaders and prominent
persons from all over the world

say. Mooney is a really bright man,
and he took advantage of it.
His spirit is excellent. He is a
man who has been free in spirit,

Farmers Demand
BiIIion-DoIIar Boost
In Cotton Benefits
Growers Soy Sum Is
Needed to Guarantee
Parity Income

Congress was confronted today by
demand from cotton growers for a
billion-dollar increase in farm bene-
fit payments in order to guarantee
farmers parity income" for their
crops.
The parity income" program was
emphasized in resolutions adopted
by committee of cotton producers
and made public here after the
farmer representative conferred
with congressional farm leaders yes
terday.
The resolutions suggested that
funds for agriculture be raised lin
the same manner that funds are
raised for other governmental ex-
penditures," making no mention of
processing taxes.
A parity price" for farm products,
as demanded by the cotton growers,
is that which Agriculture Depart
ment economists estimate would
give the farmers a fair share of the
national income, based on the prices
OF products they purchase.
Says Billion Is Needed.
Grower representatives estimated
a billion dollars would be needed-in
addition to the $500000,0O0 already
earmarked for benefit payments
to guarantee parity prices for the
five basic commodities covered in
the Agricultural Adjustment Act of
1898.
It would require between $780,
100000 and S30O,O00,O0O additional
for parity income payments to
cotton growers alone, they said.
The resolutions also proposed
methods for reducing the huge sup
ply of Government loan cotton, sug-
gesting that part of the 11,600,000
bales put up as collateral for Gov
ernment loans of about 100000. 900
be handed back to growers who
agreed to cut their production under
the limits now prescribed.
In addition, they proposed that
100000 bales of the loan cotton
be turned over to the Federal Sur
plus Commodities Corp. to be pro-
cessed for distribution to the needy.
A. A. A. officials pointed out the
recommendations proposed were the
farmers own.
Would Keep Loan Idea.
The group recommended retention
of the loan principle in the 1888
Farm Act and proposed removal OF
the $4,000 limitation in benefit
payments to any one person.
Senator Bankhead. Democrat, of
Alabama. who presided at an in
formal session in the Senate Agri-
culture Committee room when the
farmer representatives discussed
their problem with Capitol leaders.
said he was in favor of the pro-
posal for some of the loan cotton
be turned back to growers.
Ransom F. Aldrirh nresident nf
the Mississippi Farm Bureau, said
the committee estimated that about
100000 bales of cotton could be re-
moved from Government loan stocks
this year under the proposal to re-
turn it to growers. At present val
ues of about $40 bale, he said, this
would cost upward of S80,000,000
Mr.. Aldrich said the IS cotton
growers attending the conference
here approved of the present crop
control program and wanted it con-
tinued with some changes.
