CULL EXTBII SESSION
FOR WHEAT FARMER
RY DAVID LWRENCE
(Leased Wire Service tn The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1923.)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.—No spe
cial session of qongress will be
called to relieve the farm situation.
Practically unanimous advice, has
been given to President Coolidge in
the last three days to the effect
that legislation cannot cure the
troubles of the wheat farmer, but
' that relief can best be secured by
persjiading, or ordering, the rail
roads to reduce freight rates and
generally cut down the cost of pro
duction.
The president sent for Gray Sil
ver. legislative reporter here of the
Federation of Farm Bureaus, and
asked him for his ideas on the agri
cultural problem. Mr. Silver went
Into conference with the president
just after Howard Elliott, chairman
of the board of directors of the
Korthern Pacific had left.
Naturally, the .two conferences
blended into each other for Mr. El
liott is interested in preserving and.
if possible, increasing the earnings
of his company while Mr. Silver
pointed out that the railroads of
the northwest must /co-operate in
helping the farmers getting their
V-heat hauled at a lower price, or
there may not be any wheat to haul,
in which case there will be a loss
to the railroads of what they now
have.
Cure Already Exists
Mr. Silver made it clear that no
special remedies could be devised by
Congress at this time and that the
cure for the situation already exists
In the machinery of the govern
ment. He declared, for instance,
that if the government could bring
'down the cost of nitrates, it would
immediately give the farmer a big
advantage.
He said that distinguished engi
neers had testified that nitrates con'd
be sold to the .’armer for ns little as
five cents a pound, whereas the
farmers were paying eighteen and
twenty cents and higher for Chilean
fertilizer. But cheap nitrates, he
added, Avould come from eifccCve op-

I Railroads Help to Keep |
| the Boys On the Farm I
j Live boys leave the farm, not be
i cause they don’t want to work, but be- i
[// cause they want to make more money
U and have a better time. The lure of
f the city draws them, because they
I think it offers both of these things.
And the farms not located on, or easily
accessible to, railroads are the farms
which lose the most boys. ,
x Railroads make farming profitable —by fur
nishing quick transportation to the nation’s
markets for all of the products of the farm.
Railroads make farm life pleasant— by bring
ing to the farms niany of the home comforts
and conveniences of the city. Thus, the rail
■ roads, by making farm life more attractive and
more remunerative, help to keep the boys on
the farm and at work on the big job of feeding
the people of this nation.

[ GREENSBORO. —James Lindsay,
•oration of the Muscle Shoals plant,
■<td the offer made by private con
cern should be accepted, or an alter
native devised.
Mr. Silver said that his organiza
tion was well ..ware that i hig.u .r
price for wheat could not b? o’.i.lined,
jby government subsidise,, but that
the American farmer cop’d and
would adjust himself to word con
ditions, provided he could bring down
I the cost at home. He felt that the
systems of intermediate credits,
which had been set up by congress,
together with orderly marketing,
would help to keep the prices from
fluctuating at home, but that, basic
ally. the biggest reform mus: come
in the cost of production.
He believed that the farmer was
quite willing to take his chances in
the sale of his surplus abroad, pro
vided he could make a profit on the
home market, and this would bo pos
sible through cheaper nitrates, lower
freight rates und orderly marketing.
Farmers Not Isolationists
Mr. Silver in reply to questions
I concerning the farmer’® interest in
j European problems, stated that
I farmers generally were anxious that
I the United States extend its influ
ence so that markets abroad could
!be restored. He did not believe, the
■ farmers were isolationists, out would
welcome co-oepration wjth Europe.
After Air. Silver left, Spencer
I Weymouth, editor of Farm Life, an
Indiana publication, who < Iso came
' at. the invitation of President Cool
idge,, told the chief executive that.
i with the exception of the gheat
' growing farmer, in the ag
ricultural world were not as bad <fs
i were painted. He was doubtful
■ whether a higher tariff would do
I any good.
“Suppose,” he said, “that a tariff
; is imposed and we restrict our acre

or some other thing, and the tariff
is removed? Then Canada and the
rest of the world not come
in here and compete with us, but,
all the time the tn :'f is in effect,
the other wheat growing countries
will he capturing the markets of the
world.”
Mr. Coolidge told some of his call
ers he was considering the proposal
that the government buy wheat at
la dolla. and a half a bushel for ex
! port, but he didn’t indicate whether
i he would approve or reject it.
Mr. Silver thought the war finance

and brought to the home some two
I weeks before the*shooting.
The witness recited how he and
his wife together went to his fa

was removed to a hospital where he
remained for six days, during which
time all of his relatives except his
wife visited him. Bullard identified
the burned and blood-stained pillows

in evidence. He said they were the

Bullard. The jury was sent from the
court room during this argument.
Judge Blair overruled the objee-
I tion and Quillian proceeded to recite

Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
408 Evans Building.
RV THEODORE TILLER
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—ln a vi
triolic letter made public here today,
I Senator Carter Glass, of Virginia,
charged that the present administra
| tion in making its postoffice appoint
: ments is treating the south “as a
| conquered province,” that there is
wholesale abuse in - the practice of
designating “acting postmasters,”
and that tnere are “bureaucratic vio
lations of the constitution” in the
present patronage system.
The letter of Senator Glass to de
posed Postmaster Pifer, of Virginia,
reads:
“I have so often expressed indig
nation at the utterly dishonest prac
tices of Republican officials who in
j decently disregard both the spirit
i and the text of the civil service
statutes with respect to appoint
ments to and removal from office
that it seems now almost a useless
thing to do. In such matters the
south is treated as a conquered prov
ince. It is not given as fair consid
eration as the Philippines or Porto
Rico or any other possession of the
United States. The offices are open,-
ly bartered away- and the traffic has
proved a profitable enterprise to mer
cenary' Republican politicians.
“Not only' am I in favor of inves
tigating your particular case.and re
vealing the facts to the country, but
the senate of the United States in
very self-respect, should investigate
th« practice of appointing ‘acting
postmasters’ merely for the purpose
of avoiding the consequences of sen
atorial disapproval of an appoint
ment. Lt is plainly a bureaucratic
violation of the constitution of the
United States. It is a usurpation of
power which should be quickly and
decisively' ended.”
