FACTIOML SUASION
UNLIKELY IN STUDY
OF FARM PROBLEMS
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Special Leased Wire to 'Die Journal—Copy
right, 1921.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.—The
most important political and econom
ical problem of the after-the-war pe
riod in American history is at least
being tackled from a rympartisan
and judicial standpoint without
either the pressure of party politics
or interference by sectional groups.
A commission of nine selected by
the president has been given the
widest possible scope for its inquiry.
The appointment of the commission
is a sequel not only to the failure
of the last session of congress to get
together on a farm relief program
but to the unreconciled conflict be
tween the department of commerce
and the department of agriculture
on the placing of the bureau of mar
kets in one department or the other.
The new commission has been
asked particularly to restrict itself
in no way in going into the whole
farm problem. It has been told that
it can make recommendations with
respect to the rearrangement or con
venience of various bureaus has to
do with the department.
It has only to inquire into the
workings of present laws but to ren
der an opinion on the different pro
. posals pending in tne last session
of congress for farm relief and lastly
it is to concern itself with ways and
means of promoting the study of
co operative marketing.
On the last point it would not be
surprising if the commission started
a program of study in the land grant
colleges so that co-operative market
ing would be studied from the aca
demic side just as business manage
meht and finance are studied in
preparation for the tasks of the in
dustrial and manufacturing world.
Work Is Important
There is no exaggerating the im
portance of the work of the new com
mission with respect to pending bills.
Pride of authorship, the inner poli
tics of farm organizations and a half
dozen other problems have become
interwoven with each other to such
an extent that it has been difficult
for the administration to back whole
heartedly any one bill. Nor has it
been practical to obtain the amalga
mation of several proposals into one.
Nothing was more disappointing to
the members of the senate and the
house from agricultural states in
the last session than the failure to
pass any bill of importance with
respect to farm relief. Congress had
the desire but lacked the teamwork
and the practical knowledge. The
congressional committees were so
torn by the conflicting proposals
that virtually nothing was accom
plished.
Mr. Coolidge wanted to put the
agricultural commission to work im
mediately after congress adjourned
last spring, but was advised to wait
till after the autumn election so the
issue could be taken out of politics
temporarily ait least. Now the com
mission meets, therefore, in a favor
able atmosphere. It need not think
of what effect its proposals will have
on any political party, indeed the
chances are that if it can bring out
an unanimous report the Democrats
from agricultural states will support
it as strongly as the Republicans.
No Crisis Is Ahead
Another advantage which the com
mission enjoys is that no crisis or
acute situation is immediately ahead.
The condition of agriculture while
far from what must ultimately be
desired if stability is to be experi
enced for any length of time is nev
ertheless better than it was a year
or two years ago. Usually if there
is a crisis in any particular indus
try the proposals for relief arc so
extreme in character and the judg
ments of the proponents warped by
acute feeling that a calm considera
tion of the merits of any suggestion
is difficult.
The new commission hopes to get
its report ready for the winter ses
sion of congress. That is optimistic.
There are many reasons why action
at the coming session would be de
sirable and even easy to obtain
should there be an unanimous re
port from the commission. But most
controlling will be the knowledge
that the farm areas of the United
States will be demanding a special
session after March 4 to get some
thing done on the committee’s rec
ommendations. The committee has
all the co-operation it needs from
government agencies and farm or
ganizations, and might surprise
everybody by having a report ready
in February. There is a meeting of
the national council for co-operative
marketing here in January whose
discussions probably will be very
helpful to the commission.
Coolidge Farm Board
Starts Investigation
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.—The
commission appointed by President
Coolidge to inquire into agricultural
conditions and suggest a program for
stabilizing farming began its work
today at a meeting in the White
House, where President Coolidge
called them to outline the purposes
for which he named it.
Several members of the commis
sion accompanied President Coolidge
on his week-end trip on the May
flower and informal discussion took
place during the voyage. The com
mission’s meetings will be conducted
wit I) the co-operation of the depart
ment of agriculture.

PROPERTYOFALIENS
NOT IMMUNE FROM
AWHRD.COURTSAYS
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.—Judg
ments can be liquidated out of prop
erty in the hands of the alien prop
erty custodian, under a supreme
court decision handed down Monday.
The trading with the enemy act, it
was held. makes unliquidated
claims for damages a “debt” collect
able out of the property of alien
enemies in the hands of the property
custodian.
The court held to be valid a con
tract of the German firm of Beer,
Sandheimer & Co., for the purchase
of crude zinc ore from Frederick
V. Robertson, of New York. In the
lower court Robertson obtained a
judgment against the German firm
for breach of contract. In a sepa
rate proceeding he was to collect the
judgment awarded him out of the
property of the firm held by the
alien property custodian.
The federal government as well as
the German firm contended that the
judgment for breach of contract was
not a “debt” which congress had au
thorized the alien property custodian
to satisfy out of property in his
hands. The government and the
German firm also attacked the con
tract as "invalid” and to that ex
tent sought a review of the judg
ment under which the claim against
the property had been brought.

Intimiate glimpses of William
Wrigley, Jr. Left to right, they
might he entitled: “When the
Cubs win:” “roughing it,” and
“at the office.”
Accomplishment Is What
Counts, Chewing Gum Mil
lionaire Says—Just Plug
: ging Called Poor Living
I CHICAGO, Nov. 15.—William
i Wrigley, Jr.’s, millions have not
made him any happier.
“Merely piling up a bank account
has not given me a thrill,” declares
the chewing gum magnate, who, last
year alone, paid an income tax of
more than $1,000,000.
i “I was just as happy before I
made my first million as I was after
I made it. I never have worked for
money. I always have worked for
the doing' of the thing.
“Just plugging along for dimes
and dollars does not mean much.
{ Accomplishment is what counts.
“Life is a battle. When you quit
' fighting the kick is gone.”
I Wrigley has been broke many
I times.
Ran Away at 11
Today ho has put the world's jaws
jto work. From this he has piled up
a great fortune.
Born in Philadelphia, the eldest of
nine children, Wrigley grew up as
the average boy, but with more than
the average boy’s energy.
He was expelled from school so
often that by the time he was 11.
his folks finally quit trying to
mollify his teachers. •
That year he ran away to New
York. There he sold papers, ran er
rands and did odd jobs.
Homesickness drove him back to
Philadelphia. Another year in school
and he was dismissed again. So his
i father put him to work in his fac
j tory, stirring soap, at $1.50 a week.
He went out on the road as sales
man for his father. The going was
none too easy. Tough breaks came
oftener than good ones.
In 1891 Wrigley came to Chicago.
Business was dull, so to stimulate
his soap sales, he began offering pre
miums witli each order.
Owns Ball Team
More than once he ran in debt.
But each time he succeeded in pull
ing out.
While giving away chewing gum
with his soap, he hit upon the idea
of selling gum alone. Then he de
cided to begin making his own.
'From the start, he was a firm be
liever in advertising. In 1902 he
dumped his accmulated profits of
SIOO,OOO into an advertising cam
paign in New York—and lost every
cent.
Next time he called on Gotham he
threw out $250,000. Profits com
menced rolling in right away.
Since then lie has spent close to
$50,000,000 advertising his gum in a
score of languages throughout the
world.
And chewing gum is not his sole
business interest.
He owns a baseball team—the Chi
cago Cubs. He owns Catalina
Island, an amusement resort, off
southern California. He is a director
of banks, corporations and railroads
galore.
Vet the money these connections
bring him is secondary in his estima
tion.
One year his'factories turned out
eight billion sticks of gum. Next
year he expects to produce at least
10 billion sticks.
Employes Off Saturdays
He always keeps a box of gum on
his desk. He chews it continually.
M rigley is 63, but looks no more
than 40. He plays as hard as he
works.
Each day finds him down with the
shadows in his office atop the Wrig
le> lower building. He is one of the
last to leave.
JJL em .P lo . ves S'rt Saturdays off.
I he high-priee<l executive usually
cleans off his desk by Friday and
prepares fo r a week-end vacation,"
he says. “Let the girls and men in
my- offices do the same. Let them go
window shopping and have a good
time.

Kaiser’s Suicide Threat
Kept Von Bue’ow From
Quitting, Book Reveals
BERLIN, Nov. 18.—(By the As
sociated Press.) —A story of how
former Emperor William once
threatened to commit suicide is re
l vealed in a book written by Theodor
1 Wolff, editor of the Tageblatt, deal
ing with Germany’s policy during
I 'he chancellorship of Von Buelow.
Emperor William had, in 1905, in
duced Emperor Nicholas, of Russia,
to sign a treaty of alliance which
pledged Germany to aid Russia in
Europe, but not in Asia. Von Bue
low disapproved of the treaty and
orally tenedered his resignation.
Thereupon William wrote Von Bue
low a pathetic letter in which he
said the chancellor's resignation
gave him such a shock that he nad
collapsed and he feared he would
have a serious nerveous illness.
In the letter, the kaiser reminded
Von Buelow that to please him he
[ had ridden in Tangier on a strange
I dorse, notwithstanding his crippled
I left arm, and that the horse had
| nearly killed him.
i “I rode among the Spanish au
' archists,” said the letter, “because
: you wanted me to and because your
1 policy would benefit by it, and now
I after I have done all this you wish
I to leave me. If you now disavow
! your policy I should be made to look
[ ridiculous, which I cannot survive.”
Then comes a postscript saying
; "the morning after the receipt of
I your resignation you will not find
: your kaiser alive. Think of my poor
I wife and children.”
Von Buelow, according to Wolff.
! finally withdrew his resignation and
; the writer declares his reward came
I three years later, when the kaiser
dismissed him with the remark: "I
have chased the scoundrel away.’’

were found yesterday shot to death
near the Riddle home, fifteen miles
north of Haley ville, in the neighbor

MEN DISCUSSES
MARKET PROBLEMS
BEFORE ROMS
“Business men the country over
must realize that stabilized agricul
ture is the fundamental basis of our
national life,” former Governor
Frank O. Lowden, of Illinois, said
Monday morning at the state capitol
while speaking on the purposes, de
velopment and results of co-opera
tive marketing of farm products.
“The nation that permits its agri
culture to decay is itself decadent,
and unless the farmers of America
are enabled to regain their rightul
share of prosperity, our agricultural
foundation will crumble and our
place among the nations of the earth
will be shaken.”
Governor Lowden, himself a “diit
farmer” with extensive cotton plan
tations in Arkansas and large dairy
interests in Illinois, is deeply in
terested in co-operative marketing,
disposing of his farm products
through such organizations and aid
ing the development of the co-opera
tive movement. He spoke here under
the auspices and at the invitation of
the Georgia Cotton Growers Co-op
erative Marketing'association. J. E.
Conwell, president of the associa
tion, presided, and the former gov
ernor’s address was followed by brief
talks by Eugene R. Black, president
of the Atlanta Trust company, and
Clark Howell, Sr., editor of The At
lanta Consitiution.
The hall of the house of repre
sentatives was crowded by farmers,
bankers and business men and the
spacious galleries were well filled
by the overflow.
Recalls Post War Crash
Governor Lowden showed how dur
ing the post-war period, when it was
expected that prices of all commodi
ties would decline to something ap
proaching the pre-war basis, only
the prices of farm products were de
creased, while practically all other
commodities remained St high
figures. This situation brought about
disastrous conditions in agriculture,
he explained, and was due in large
measure to the fact that producers
of all commodities except those from
agriculture organized to protect their
interests, leaving the farmers “out
in the cold” so to speak, and with
out resources to prevent their ruin.
“Had the farmers been organized,
their products would have been stabi
lized, as were the products of other
industries,” Governor Lowden said,
“and agriculture would not have
suffered the disasters that have over
taken it in the past four years.”
“Farmers are the last to realize
the need for organization, but if
every farmer in America could see
what marvels have been wrought by
organization in Holland, they would
hesitate no longer.”
He told of the organized dairy
interests among the Dutch, where
remarkable development has result
ed, fair and reasonable prices have
been established, and the prosperity
of the farmers is the wonder of the
world.
“You hear the argument that the
law of supply and demand regulates
prices regardless of all other influ
ences and considerations,” he said,
“but this theory does not taKe into
account the fact that the time, placs
and amount of the commodity has
a tremendous influence on prices.
Competition is playing less and less
a part in fixing prices. The control
of the time of selling, the place of
selling and the amount of the com
modity sold, almost entirely fixes tl'e
price. The farmer alone is powerless
to exercise this control, but with or
ganization he is able to protect his
interests.
Other Opposition Exploded
' Another argument used against
co-operative marketing is that it en
tails loss of liberty of action on the
part of the farmer. About the only
liberty of action he has now is that
of saying ‘Yes’ when somebody else
fixes the price for his product and
says ‘will you take it or leave it?’
“At one time lust year the govern
ment cotton crop estimate was for
12,400,000 bales, and the price stood
at 30 cents a pound. A few days
later a new estimate came out for
13,000,000 bales, and the price drop
ped to 24 cents. That was an in
crease of about 5 per cqnt in es
timated production and a drop of 20
per cent in price. In no other in
dustry could such a thing have hap-
I pened, and it would no. have hap-
I pened, anti it would not have hap
| ton farmers been organized and in
i a position to control the larger por
tion of the crop.
“An enrollrhent of 50 per cent of
' the cotton farmers of the south in
I co-operative marketing associations
I could stop such wild market fluctua
tions, stabilize the industry and put
an end to the uncertainty that now
prevails.”
Governor Lowden pointed out that
the consumer is vitally interested in
the welfare of the farmer, for if. the
farmers of the country get discour
aged and quit, the prices of all com
modities must -oar, thus resulting
disastrously for the buying public.
He showed how it is to the vast ad
vantage of ever, phase of business
activity to keep the farmer pros
perous, for without a sound agricul
tural basis, business cannot hope to
succeed.
Nation Founded on Fanns
“Every great .iation of history has
had its foundation in the soil, and
when its agriculture waned, it fell
into decadence,” he declared. “Rome
allowed its agriculture to decay, and
the fall of that great empire was
hastened. Our own country is fac
ing the question of whether the farm
ers, the great bulwark of our na
tional life and prosperity, shall be
aided and encouraged, or whether
they shall continue to struggle hope
lessly against overwhelming odds.
Organization is their salvation. It
has been proven beyond question,
and if the farmers, with the aid of
the business man and bankers of the
country, will adept the cooperative
idea, America will enter an era of
prosperity such as has never been
witnessed.”
Governor Lowden was the guest
of honor at a luncheon tendered him
at the Capital City club after the
' address at the capitol, Clark Howell,
Sr., being host at the function. Many
I prominent Atlanta business men
! were invited.
With Mrs. Lowden, he was to
. lea* e Monday evening for Savanna ll
to attend the annual convention es
I the United Daughters of the Con
! federacy, being scheduled to deliver
j the principal address on Tuesday.

FARM PRICE RISE
AND RECOVERY OF
EUROPE FOREMOST
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.—The ad
vance in agriculture prices, the be
ginning of sound policies in German
reparations and the recovery of
American industry, aside from ag
riculture, were characterized as the
three outstanding features of the
past fiscal year in a review of busi
ness conditions made public today
by Secretary Hoover.
While there was some slackening
in activity in some lines during the
latter part of the fiscal year, the
review said, there has since been a
complete recovery.
“The increasing stability in agri
culture,” the secretary said, “is fur
ther marked by the fact that whole
sale prices of food products show a
continuing decrease in spread as
compared to farm prices. The rise
in agriculture prices, while in a
large part due to general world
economic readjustment and to settle
ment of European economic con
flicts, has been favored to some de
gree by local and special causes such
as the decrease in corn crop and the
fact that the abnormal world wheat
crop of 1923 swung over to a slightly
subnormal crop of 1924.”
Better Transportation
Secretary Hoover declared trans
portation facilities for the last year
were adequate in every way for the
first time since long before the war.
He pointed to the greater stability
of foreign currency as another fac
tor in the economic betterment of
the country, and declared conditions
generally have been aided by the
ratification of the Dawes’ plan.
The foreign trade of the nation so
improved during the fiscal year, the
secretary said, that America’s fa
vorable trade balance increased from
$176,000,000 in 1922-23 to $757,000,-
000 in 1923-24. This was due prin
cipally, he said, to the increase in
trade with Oceania, South America
and Asia.
According to data collected by the
department of commerce for the
biennial census of manufacturers,
1923, it is shown that the establish
ments engaged primarily in the
manufacture of textile machinery
and parts reported products valued
at $140,661,358, showing an increase
of 9.1 per cent as compared with
1921, the last census year. This
classification covers all classes of
textile machinery, including machin
ery for bleaching, dyeing, printing,
mercerizing and finishing.
Totals Classified
Os the total value of products re
ported for 1023, $35,036,652 was con
tributed by fiber-to-fiber machinery,
pickers, carders, rove spinners,
winders; $30,402,137 by fabric ma
chinery, looms, knitting and braiding
machines; $10,276,721 by machinery
for converting and finishing yarn
and fabric, bleaching, dyeing, print
ing, mercerizing, finishing, and $50,-
540,815 by other textile machinery,
including extra parts, attachments,
and accessories; while the remaining
$14,495,033 represents the value of
repair work and contract work done
for others, and of miscallaneous
products other than textile machin
ery. •
Massachusetts, the leading state
in this industry, reported products
valued at $67,779,712, or 48.2 per cent
of the total; Pennsylvania was sec
ond with $21,348,469, or 15.2 per
cent, and Rhode Island was third
with $18,994,165, or 13.5 per cent.
The combined output of textile ma
chinery reported’ by these three
chinery reported by these three
76.9 per cent of the industry total.
Os the 428 establishments report
ing for 1923, 137 were located In
Massachusetts, seventy In Pennsyl
vania, fifty-six in New Mersey, fifty
one in Rhode Island, twenty-four in
New York, seventeen in Connecticut,
fourteen in North Carolina, thirteen
in Georgia, and the remaining forty
six in fifteen other states.
