Caraway. “Now I have a telegram
from Mr. Morris saying that he de
clines to come unless the democra
tic and independent representatives
are here at the same time.
“Of course, I am not willing to
consent to any such demand hut I
realize he Is perfeetlv within his
rights in asking that the others be
called also."

ed protection from the going into

troversies within his organization.

the republican national committee,
insisted on having the correspon
dence. saying be thought the com
mittee should be itnerested in get
tin g at the facts and that he
thought it would- be interested. He
added that he wanted to show that
the railway labor organizations
were interested in future legisla
tion as to government ownership
of the railroads and "laws affect
ing the use of the injunction in
labor disputes."
Pamuel Untermyer, New York
lawyer, and supporter of John W.
Davis, objected and he and Kirk

MINES DIRECTOR
ON STAND IN
OIL LEASE
INQUIRY
LOS ANGELES.—With six gov
ernment witnesses remaining to be
called, trial of the Elk Hills lease
cancellation suit brought by the
United States against the Pan-
American Petroleum and Trans
port Company was scheduled to be
resumed in federal court here
Thursday with Dr. H. Foster Bain,
director of the Bureau of mines, in
the witness chair.
Dr. Bain, according to previous
testimony participated in thdPnego
tiations leading up to the granting
of certain Elk Hills leases and con
tracts to the Pan-American in
terests in April 1922, acting at the
request of Albert B. Fall, then se
cretary of the interior. Wednes
day government counsel introduced
documentary evidence designed to
show that E .L. Doheny acting for
the Pan-American interests was
the moving spirit behind tjie navy's
plans to increase fuel oil storage
facilities at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
which plans resulted in the grant
ing of a supplemental contract to
Doheny’s company, December 11,
1922.
A plan for stabilizing the Petro
leum market by increasing the
navy’s stores of fuel oil. which
would involve withdrawal of much
surplus oil from the market and
thus stop a downward price trend,
was contained in tho memorandum
from Doheny to Admiral J. K.
Boblnson, chief of the navy en
gineering bureau dated November
6, 1922.
After negotiations concerning the
proposed stabilizing plan, govern
ment council showed, it was de
cided by the navy war plans coun
cil to enlarge the Pearl Harbor
storage project already under con
struction, so as to increase the ca
pacity from 1,500,000 barrels to 4,-
200,000 barrels.
Accordingly after an exchange of
letters between department offi
cials, Edwin Denby, then secretary
of the navy asked Fall in a letter
dated November 29, 1922, to act aa
agent for the navy department in
obtaining Increased Pearl Harbor
storage.
A supplemental contract with Do
henv's Pan-American Company
providing for such Increased stor
age was closed a few days later.
These dates are considered of par
ticular significance by the govern
ment which charges that Fall con
spired with Doheny to deliver over
to his company the leases and con
tracts under dispute, since It was
on November 30, 1922, that Fall
signed a note acknowledging re
ceipt of *IOO,OOO as a personal loan
from Doheny.

DUIS RENEWS
HIS PROMISE
TO REDUCE
TARIFF
NEW YORK.—The third state
ment of the series prepared by John
W. Davis, democratic candidate for
president, for the purpose of turn
ming up outstanding campaign is
sues ,wai made public Thursday.
It was confined exclusively to a
discussion of the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber tariff bill, which the candi
date hat declared will be re-writ
ten if he i$ elected and will be
given the support of a democratic
congress. In renewing his promise
for lower schedules, Mr. Davis
made it clear that he harbored no
resentment toward legitimate
business fairly conducted but would
‘‘withdraw the invitation extended
in the form of exorbitant rates of
duty, to profit through monopolis
tic control of production, markets
and prices.”
DECLARES ACT IS
"BITTERLY WRONG”
The statement follow* in part:
"I believe that the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber Act is bitterly Wrong.
Those who profit by It aro enjoying
unjust exactions. A few indus
tries may enjoy undue prosperity
but the public at large must pay
the bill and I do not.believe thero
can be permanent prosperity un
less our system of taxutlon both
direct and Indirect is for the bene
fit of all the people and not for a
favored few.
"The Fordney-McCumber bill
was both a fence and an offense.
It was a fence against normal trade
With other nations and it was a
grievloua offense against every
consufher In the United States and
especially against the farmers who
were left outside the scope of its
apparent benefits. It might have
been appropriately entitled “an net
to obstruct our foreign commerce,
to Increase the prices of what the
farmers buy and to reduce the price
of what he sells.'
“The democratic Underwood
,Simmons bill was the only tariff
since the Civil War to be passed
without suspicion of unfairness or
partiality. Under It Industry flou
rished and employment grew. The
country enjoyed an era of pros
perity unexcelled In all Its history.
There were 14 per cent more men
employed In August 1914. under the
Underwood tariff thnrt thero were
emiiloyed in July, 1924, under the
Fordney bill.
SAYS HARDSHIPS
ARE INFLICTED
"The Fordney-McCumber act lias
inflicted hardship and sacrifice
upon all the people of the United
States and has made the burden
heaviest for those least able to
bear it.
"It Is this law that the republi
can administration pledged Itself
to maintain. The democratic party
proposes to reform the tariff by re
vising downward the existing
duties to a truly competitive basis
and by eliminating »II the conser
vatism and the evils that flow
from it.
“We do not propose any ruthless
and vindictive slashing of rates to
gratify political animosities or class
antagonism. We propose to permit
competition effective enough to sti-

EXHIBITS REFLECT
GREAT PROGRESS
This year’s exhibits a* compared
with those of last year shows that
progress along the lines of diver
sified farming Is being made. In
the exhibits building there were
attractive booths representing
Warrenton, Mitchell, Macedonia
Norwood and Oamak. Among the
school booths were those of the vo
cational agricultural class of the
Warrenton high school, Johnson
school, Bnstonville, Barnett and
Margaret Evan* Academy. *
These booths were devoted to
display* of agriculture, school work,
manual training, drawing, voca
tional work, home economics, etc#
The exhibit* of the canning clubs,
sewing clubs, preserving clubs, and
others In this line of work were
splendid. Exhibits of the civic
clubs and flower exhibits were ex
cellent.
It was very evident at the fair
that the efforts of the citizens of
these two counties to bring about
a stable program of agricultural
diversification is making headway.
That such Is now a reality on a
growing baala Is largely due to the
activities of the members of the
Iteese-Hyman post. Iteallzlng what
the ravages of the boll weevil
means to the people of these two
counties, the members of the legion
determined to help the farmer*
overcome the financial difficulty
that they had gotten Into. Diversi
fication In agriculture la not only
fostered by an effort Is being made
