Senator Robert M. LaFollette
Issues Statement Regarding
Election of Johnson as Min
nesota Senator.
Madison, Wis, July 17.—1n the
election of Magnus Johnson to the
United States senate yesterday, “the
people of Minnesota fired a shot
which will be heard in every section
of the country” according to a state
ment issued today by Senator Rob
ert M. LaFoletfe who supported Mr.
Johnson.
“The people of the great north
west have again spoken their con
viction that if representative govern
ment is to survive in the United
States, private monopoly must be
driven out of control of their gov
ernment,” the statement says. “The
rotion with which the reactionaries
comfort themselves that the elec
tion of Johnson expresses merely a
sectional protest of disgruntled
farmers and working men against
present economic conditions and
government policies is a ridiculous
illusion.”
Washington. July 17.—Comment
ing on the election to the Senate yes
terday of Magnus Johnson, farmer
labor candidate, Chairman Adams of
4 he republican national committee
in a statement tonight declared that
“in a general way, the result in Min
nesota was a voice of protest against
conditions temporarily affecting the
farming interests adversely’.* Agri
cultural conditions are bound to im
prove, he said, adding that the Am
erican farmer “can he depended upon
in the long run to support the cause
of good government, sound econom
icf and stable instiutions.”
Chairman Hull of the democratic
national committee also took occa
sion tonight to discuss the election
results, declaring in a statement that
it constituted “a general condemna
tion of dominant republican nation
al leadership since 1919—a leader
ship that has resulted in the affairs
of the nation and of the world drift
ing aimlesly along, while our do
mestic business conditions are tem
porary, artificial and uncertain.”
Mr. Adams, pointing out that re
turns indicated the democratic can
didate polled about 5 per cent of
the total vote, said that “certainly
the democratic party cannot get
hmuch comfort out of this result **

INCOME TUX BILL
PASSED BY SENATE
Constitutional Ad Valorem
Maximum is Reduced to 4
Mills From 5 and S2OO
Household Furniture Ex
empt.
Atlanta, Ga., July 17. —By a vote
of 45 to 1. Senator John Camp Da
vis, of Rome, being the lone oppo
sition, the state senate has passed
an income lax bill in the body of
which the constitutional ad valorem
maximum is reduced lo 4 mills from
5. and S2OO worth of household and
kitchen furniture is exempt from
all taxation.
The victory of the Lankford
measure in the senate, providing for
an income tax for state purposes
only, was far more decisive than
its advocates had hoped for. Sen
ators Cason, Coates, Smith of the
Twenty-third, and Smith of the
Thirty-fifth, were absent. There
fore, had every member of the sen
ate been present and all the ab
sentees been against the measure—
though it is known at least two of
them were for the bill—the vote
still would have been in exeess of
the two-thirds vote necessary to
pass a constitutional amendment.
As the bill goes to the house,
with the two amendments offered
by Senator W. W. Mundy, broaden
ing and perfecting the bill, the pro
posal in full is as foliow's:
"Be it enacted by the general as
sembly of Georgia, and it is here
by enacted by authority of ihe
same That paragraph 1, section 2,
article 7, of the constitution of the
state of Georgia he and the same is
hereby amended by adding at ihe
end of said paragraph the following
language:
“The general assembly sliall also
have authority to levy taxes upon
incomes, for state purposes only,
which taxes may be graduated, the
rate in no case to exceed fixe per
cent, provided ihat provision shall
be made in Ihe law l levying such
taxes for crediting the same with
the amount of advalorcm taxes paid
j to the state during the year for
j which such incomes are taxed; and
|to provide further for such cxcep
| tions as may appear to the general
assembly to he reasonable.
| “Section 2. Be it further enacted
jby the authority aforesaid, that
paragraph 2, section 1, article 7, of
the constitution be amended by
striking therefrom the word “fixe”
\ where the same appears in the
i fourth line of said paragraph as it
is now published in section 6552 of
the civil code of Georgia, and sub
j stituting therefor the word “four”
j so that said paragraph when amend
! ed will read as follows:
“The lex’y of taxes on property
for one year by the general assem
bly for all purposes, except to pro
vide for repelling invasion, suppres
sing insurrection, or defending the
state in time of war, shall not ex
ceed four mills on each dollar of
the value of the property taxable in
the state.
Section 3. Be it further enacted
by the authority aforesaid: That
said article be further amended by
striking all of paragraph 1, section 2,
article 7, and substituting therefor
the following language.
“All taxes shall be uniform upon
i the same class of subjects and when
lad xatorem, assessed on all the
j properly subject to be taxed by that
method within the territorial limits
I of the authority levying the tax, and
shall be levied and collected under
general laws and for the purposes
authorized by this constitution: pro-
I vided the legislature may exempt
household and kitchen furniture to
the value of S2OO, from taxation for
state purposes.”
The measure, after passage was
immediately transmitted to the
house, upon motion of Mr. Lank
ford, the effect of which is that
the house will tomorrow morning
haxe before it the first measure re
vising the state tax system, and it
j will have been put up to that
i branch before the session is half
] over to determine whether or not
! the state’s biggest issue is to be
I solved without further delay. Going
still further into its program to deal
with the biggest issue first and get
it out of the way before other leg
islation is reached, the senate also
has fixed as the special and con
| tinuing order for tomorrow' raorn
j ing, immediately after unanimous
[ consents, the Mason bill to provide
for the classification of all prop
! erty in Ihe state for taxation pur
| poses. There will most likely be a
i longer and more vigorous fight on
I that measure than on the income
j tax bill, for the senate palpably is
j not nearly so united in opinion on
| classification as it xvas on income
tax; and yet the leaders of the body
express the belief that the Mason
bill, with probably some amend
ments, will be passed before Wed
nesday adjournment.
It is known that so soon as these
two measures have been gotten out
of the way and passed over to the
i house there is a still further pro
gressixe program being worked on
in the senate, the purpose, of which
is to go straight through with the
reform measures and get the decks
entirely clear of all that class of
legislation before the middle of |
next week, unless some action by I
the house should block them.
The body today took up again the \
Pace bill to create a state bureau or
department of auditing and ac
counting, but did not finish it be
fore adjournment.

According to Expectations at
Present, Turkish Peace Treaty
Will Be Signed July 24 or 25
Allied and Turkish Delegates
at Lausanne Will Be Sign
atories of Main Treaty and
Other Documents.
Lausanne. July 17-p The Turkish
peace treaty will he signed July 24
or 25, according to present expecta
lions. The allied and Turkish dele
gales now at Lausanne will he the
signatories of the main treaty and
the other documents to bp signed
including the agreement for control
of the Turkish straits. The Russian
soviet government has been invited
by telegraph to take part in the
signing of the straits convention.
The agreement reached last night
on the disputed questions of con
cessions and the evacuation of Turk
ish soil by foreign troops will be
adopted at a plenary session of tlv
conference this afternoon, it. is ex
pected.
The accord presents a victory for
the United States whose represen
tative, Joseph C. Grew, minister to
Switzerland, was successful in his
insistence that the policy of the
open floor and equal opportunity
in the Near East he adopted. Had it
not been for his tenacity the tenta
tive agreement, made last week, un
favorable to the United States in
terests would have been included in
the treaty.
Pasha Fatigued
Through numerous conferences
with Pasha head of the Turkish dele
gation who appeared utterly fatigued
from the constant pressure from
both sides when the session be
gan. Mr. Gr<> won him over against
tlie pleas of the British and French
plenipotentiaries.
And having won their st rrflgle to
eliminate from the peace treaty all
future preferential concession rights
of foreign companies and all of
ficial confirmation of doubtful ex
isting concessions the American rep
resentatives now will devote them
selves to completion of the new
Turkish-American treaty.
The inside story of the meeting
yesterday when the peace made a
week ago was “patched up” as one
allied delegate described it, is of a
fierce battle waged over the ques
tion of oil fields in Mesopotamia
which the English claim under the
provisions of the concessions of the
Turkish petroleum company.
Though none of the American del
egation was present it was appar
ent that American influence was
dominant in the conference chamber
and that the stringent application
of Mr. Grew’s resistance was strong
enough to permit Ismet Pasha to
hold until the finish. ~
Ismet Pasha was unshakable be
fore all the allied onslaughts. One
by one he turned down every for
mula presented even those modified
which he calculated would give any
confirmation to the British com
pany's petroleum concessions in the
treaty. He insisted that there was
grave doubt of its validity and said
that the question should be referred
to arbitration by the international
court of justiceN
Allies Surrender
Finally the allies, led by the Brit
ish surrender. But the British an
nounced their intention to make a
public statement at the open con
ference meeting, setting forth their
right to oil concessions, just as the
French intend to do regarding their j
rights concerning the Ottoman debt. |
The Turks previously had won a !
victory by keeping all confirmation I
of their obligations under the debt j
out of the Lausanne treaty’.
The allied agreement to drop their
demands for future preferential
right to Turkish contracts is con-!
sidered here an attempt to make the
American public feel that Europe re
spects. American doctrine and wishes
to co-operate with American capital
there. However, there is a disposi- j
tion to believe that Americans, with |
the Chester concessions already ac-1
quired have big privileges in Tur- 1
key.

ORDERS HARVESTER
COMPANY TO BREAK
INTO THE PARTS
Dissolution Decree of 1918
Inadequate to Break Up
Restraint of Trade and Re
store Competition.
Washington, July 17.—. Separation
of the International Harvester Com
pany into at least three distinct cor
porations, with wholly separate own
ers, stockholders and officials, was
demanded by Attorney-General
Daugherty, today in a petition filed
in the federal district court at St.
! Paul, Minn.
Such a step is necessary, the attor
ney’s general’s petition declared, be
cause the dissolution decree origin
ally entered against the company in
1918 had proved “inadequate* to
break up restraint of trade and re
store compeition in the production of
harvesting machines and other farm
implements.
The court was asked by the peti
tion to enter anew decree holding
that Hie Harvesting company ‘still
is a combination in restraint of in
terstate trade and commerce in har
vesting machinery, and still is mono
polizing and attempting to monopo
lize said trade and commerce in vio
lation of the Sherman anti-trust law
and contrary to the several opinions,
and decrees of this court.’
Vision May Be Realized.
Unless steps are taken to effect
a real dissolution, the petition con
tinued, “the monopolistic control ex
erted by the defendant will increase
and the vision of complete monopo
ly which the organizers of the com
pany had in 1902 will be complete
ly realized,” to the detriment of the
; farmers of the country in their pur
! chases of farm machinery.
The action of the attorney-general
was taken after prolonged confer
ences among government officials,
and follows the line suggested by’ the
federal trade commission in a report
lo the senate in 1920. The petition
declared that a reasonable “test pe
riod” has been given the corpora
tion since the close of the World
War, as provided in the original de
cree, to rearrange its organization in
the interest of the public. That pe
riod having passed, it was added,
“the United States now has the right
to such further relief as be ne
cessary to restore competitive condi
tions.”
Specifically, the petition cited the
International Harvester Company the
international Flax Twine Company,
tc Wisconsin Steel Company, the,
Wisconsin Lumber Company ,tlie 11- '
linois Northern Railway, and the
Chicago, West Pullman and Southern
Railroad Company and the officers
and directors of al lthesc concerns,
as parties to the alleged combination.
Chicago, July 17.—Prices of har
vesting machinery are the result of
\ vigorous competition. which the
Sherman laxv was enacted to pre
serx’e, and are fairly comparable
with the prices of other implements
fixed by normal competition, Alex
ander Leggc, president of the In
ternational Harvester Company, said
today in a statement comm'enting on
the government suit against the
company filed in federal district
court at St. Paul.
The suit, Mr. Leggc said, is a con
tinuation of ihe government action
begun eleven years ago. The harves
ter company, he said, was acquitted
by the court findings of any wrong
ful dealings or unfair practices, but
in 1918, a decree was entered, to
insure fullest competition requiring
tile company to sell to competitors.
That decr.ee, he said, provided that
at the end of a test period which
has now expired, the government
might ask the court to determine
whether the free competition con
templated by the Sherman anti-trust
law exists in the farm implement
industry. This step, the government
is now taking, the statement said.
The situation in which the manu
facturers of farm implements find
themselves, the statement said, is
due to the business depression that
started in 1920.

EXODUS OF FARM
LABOR CONTINUES
According to Southeastern
Fortnightly Crop Report of
United States Department
of Agriculture.
Atlanta, Ga.. July 17-—Exodus of
farm labor continues, according to
the sout/ea.vrern fortnightly crop
report July Ist to July 15th, made
public here today by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
North Carolina, the report added re
ports a net gain in some counties
at the expense of states further
south.
The past two weeks, continued the
report, have been favorable to all
crops except in certain localities
which were suffering from rain. A
good downpour is now needed by
practically al! of the territory, Geor
I gia and ffinith Carolina corn need
it particularly.
Wheat threshing is in full swing
in Tennessee, the report said. Iq
North Carolina, the harvest is tin
usually good, following a favorable
season.
Considerable quantity of hay has
been saved in the territory except
where it has been too dry. the re
port averred.
The report declared tobacco yield
: and quality were good and harvest
is now over in Florida, South Caro
! lina and Georgia.
Considerable Progress
In respect to cotton, the report
stated all states report considerable
progress in the growth of the plant
within the past two weeks. The
fields are reasonably clean and the
j blooms are forming rapidly in the
south and commencing in upper re
gions. Roll weevils are particularly
had in south Georgia and Florida,
i causing a decline m the condition
j figure.
This pest, the report added, is re
ported very active in the remainder
: of the territory although it was held
in check by the dry weather during
the past two weeks. The crop is so
late that the direct weevil damage
in the upper part of the belt is hard
to forecast and the outturn of the
whole crop is problematical.
Commenting on the southern fruit
outlook the report declared peaches
and apples have a less encouraging
outlook in North Carolina and Ten
nessee. In Georgia th> main com
mercial apple section reports favor
ably; Georgia peaches are very late
, and shipments badly behind last
year, but it is expected that the
Elhertas will even things up. Both
watermelons and cantaloupes have
light crops- A considerable acreage
of later cowpcas and soy beans is
being planted. Peanuts are needing
rain, the report concluded.

PREPARATION OF CHILDREN FOR
LIFE’S DUTIES PRINCIPAL
WORK OF ASSOCIATION
The short course in Parent-Teach
er work at the state university has
passed into history. Tennessee and
Georgia are the first states to take
advantage of this course which was
presented at Columbia University
last summer for the first time. The
South is in the vanguard.
Five full and crowded days were
given up to the work, with much
j needed parliamentary law drills
j daily by Dr. Stewart. The national
! field secretary and state president
| were assisted by talks from .‘ic vari-
I ous state agencies, such as health,
j public welfare, education, etc., show
ing definitely how to correlate the
Parent-Teacher work with these
agencies.
The main object of the course was
to help leaders. It was attended by
a picked group from all sections of
the state who will go back and give
what they learned to their associa
tions. They are the channel through
which those, who could not attend,
J will receive the splendid benefits of
| this course. Every phase of the work
from the pre-school circle to the
“formative age” to the high school
! P.-T. A., with its adolescence prob
lem, from the city association, with
its mill problem, to the rural one
was touched upon, the women who
came proving themselves real stu
