Try to Line Up Bay State B» MARK NI M.IVAN Washington, Nov. 22.—The confi dent expectation is that Hiram John son will have the fiRht in Ills home stale of California which lie has so licited directly or by implication in iiis various statements. The fight will not be made by Coolidge blit will lie made by Johnson's opponents within the state. Undoubtedly they will to use Coolidge's name, because I#*ffie.v must have somebody-to put for ward as their man against Johnson. When they begin to use Coolidge’s name, that will put it up io Coolidge either to forbid the action, or to lie silent. Tiie latter will probably he * 'oolidge s course, for lie can hardly put himself in the position of forbid ding any om> In any state who wants to nominate him from taking sucli action. Johnson and Johnson’s friends couple lheir challenging invitation of Coolidge to California with tlie asser tion that they propose to feel free to contest in Coolidge's home state of Massachusetts. All this is unusual and is a campaign strategy dictated by tiie situation in Johnson's own state. Insecure in Own Slate. It takes no great political acumen to know that Johnson's friends would infinitely prefer to get the California delegation without a contest, and that they would be pleased if they could get Coolidge's friends into a state of mind w here they would forbid the use of Coolidge's name in California. But Johnson's friends fear that the fight against him will he made in Cali fornia anyhow, and feel insecure about the results. To forestall the disastrous psycho logical result of making a poor show ing in his own state of California, Johnson's friends would like to mini mize the effect of making a demon strntion in Coolidge's home state of .Massachusetts. In this situation Johnson Is favored by a difference in I he primary laws of two states, in California, the en oeiegates will lie instructed by dis •tate-wlde vote. In Massachusetts the delegates will ho Insrutcted by dis trims separately. That is to say. in California Coplidge's friends, or John son's enemies, can only make a show ing against Johnson by carrying the whole state, and can only get any delegates by getting them all. ilnsirr in Hay Slate. This obviously Is a difficult thin* to do. In Massachusetts, on the other hand. Johnson's friends can pick out one or two or three local districts where the conditions are most favor able, can concentrate on these dis tricts. and if they win can say 10 tiie world that they got some delegates in the president's home state. It is tiie clearest possible fact Hint Johnson is much weaker in liis state of California than Coolidge is in his state of Massachusetts. Indeed, tiie writer lias the best authority for say ing that Johnson's friends are acute ly anxious about his rapacity to carry California. Johnson's enemies and critics in lljfc stale include the pres cut republican governor together with his friends and his state organization. They include the great bulk of the press. They include many old progres sives who feel that Johnson ceased some time ago to represent llieir i^leas. They Include the friends an-1 .supporters of Hoover. They Include also a majority of the republican vot ers in the southern end of the state. They include tiie regular Hgrdlng and finally, for the present oc caTlon, they include that considerable portion of the California people who are of New England birth or anteced ents and have a feeling of kinship for ('oolidge.

Washington, Nov. 22.—Barriers and precedents, which in the past have arisen in investigations of the United States tariff commission and funded to delay action, have been thrust aside by the investigation into wheat conditions, ordered by Presi dent Coolldge, with a view of raising the tariff, according to a statement issued today by Thomas o. Marvin, chairman of the commission. "You can say for the commission that every other matter before it has been sidetracked in an attempt to finish the Investigation and make t©commendations to the president at the earlist possible moment,'’ Chair man Marvin said. “We have gone so far is to request use of well posted men from the De partment of Agriculture in assisting us with information at their com mand In suggestions as to the most rapid and successful manneri in clos ing the investigation and at the same time follow tlie strict letter of the law in arriving at conclusions.” That the attack on the tariff in the mlddlewest In recent years, based on the charge that tills instrument worked In behalf of eastern and Pa cific coast business more than for the mlddlewest farmer, has reached the ear* of the commission, is ap parent in talking with persons in close touch with that body. From all sides comes the word that the present conditions in the wheat belt, rellevabte through a higher tariff, promptly applied, will do more to prove to the farmers I lie benefit of such a governmental Instrument as the tariff commission than anything that has come up tn recent years.

Fight on Federal Aid Highways Middle West Members of Congress Consider Forcing Cut in (rood Roads Expenditures. Designed to Cut Taxes By P. T. POWELI* Staff lormtrandfnt of The Omaha Bee. Washington, Nov. 22.—Government appropriations of any magnitude for a continuation of federal air road building projects are undergoing a more thorough investigation than In years from middle west senators and representatives. In fact, at this time it is consid ered prpbahle that a number of sen ators from the middle west facing re election next fall may attempt to throw the farm bloc and its influence behind a fight on higher appropria tions. Intimation of such a move camo front the has of a number of sena tors interviewed about middle western conditions this week. Everyone asked the sentiment of the middle west on road conditions and one or two asked If it warranted open an tagonism at the coming session of congress. Nebraska and Kansas Kick 0|er. The fact that tho Nebraska legis lature took such drastic action in cut ting the state appropriation to one half of the amount waiting In the federal treasury to he matched with state money for federal aid roads, was one of the signs noted of growing discontent against the federal aid program. Then, in Kansas, anti federal air road organizations are coming Into being with the rapidity of guinea pigs, and anything Kansas does usually arouses apprehension. The success of such a fight at this time is problematical. Influential communities In all states are clam oring for guod roads constantly and the ultlrpate success of the movement to put hard surfaced roads all over tHe country Isn't doubted for a mo ment. Tho speed with which this Is to lie done is tho only question, tho contention being that work on projects should bo Slowed down pend ing more prosper!^1. Virginia Vole* I km n Bonds.

Fifty Cents Per Bushel Duty Urged Lower Freight Rates, Public Ownership of Railroads and ' Changes in Credit Rank. Farmers’ Union Asks. Favor Shoals for Ford Recommendations that freight rates l>e reduced: that the tariff on wheat should lie placed at 50 cents a bushel and that the federal government take the necessary step- to stabilize the prices on cotton and wheat, were among those adopted by the delegates to the national convention of the Farmers' 1®urational and Co-opera tive union of America, at its closing session here yesterday. ' ^separation of the Intermediate cred it bank from the Federal Farm T,oan system and Federal Reserve banks Ls asked. Besides repeal of the Ksch • 'umtnins law, public ownership of the railways "as co-operative enter prises," is proposed. Bach motion was discussed and de bated. The debate on the advisabil ity of asking individual entity for the intermediate credit banfc. occupied the best part of two hours. Another res olution calls for stricter control of immigration. The report of the committee on leg- * Islation follows # Control of financial resources is necessary to secure the success of co operative marketing whether conduct ed on the Rochedale or Commodity plan. We urge that the existing in termediate credit banks be divorced both from the Federal Farm Loan system and from the Federal Reserve banks. The federal agency for the supply of funs for farming opera’ion* and for advance to members growers of the i’ooperating association should l-e a separate financial institution maintained for the service of agricul ture only and should be organized with the privilege of Issuing legal tender notes against warehouse receipts and other commercial paper evidencing the ownership of staple farm com modifies We ask congress to enact the necessary legislation and instruct our representatives at Washington to use all legitimate mean* to secure this Is-lief. Y* lone as Hie farmers must par high prices frr iiex-ossifies as a result of the duties for the protection of Ymerican manufacturers it is right to insist on an equal rate of tariff on the importation of farm products. There fore we faxnr an increase in the wheat tariff to .»« rents a bushel hut demand that the drawback clause in the wheat schedule which permits our mills to import, manufacture and re-export great quantities of < anadian wheat in direct competition with Ymerican pro ducers be repealed. The valuation of American railway a for the purpose of ascertain:! g the investment basis for freight and pas senger rates has been so far complet ed that it is obvious that a huge sum in excess of original cost to date wit! he w ritten into the final results. YVe demand that congress take steps to prevent the imposition of this unju-l burden on the producers of this coun try. Y\ e also demand the repeal or the very substantial amendment of the Kwh-Cummins act. the prompt er. foicement of the recapture provisions of that law. an da reasonable reduc tion in freight rates on far m prod nets. YVe believe, however, that temporary relief only can be secured even by the most drastic railway legislation and federal regulation as l"iw! as ti n transportation agencies of ini* coun try are operated for private profit. YVe therefore renew our declaration for the principle of public ownership and operation with property worked out provisions of ultimately converting our entire transportation system into one nation wide, unified, cooperative enterprise conducted for service only. YY e urge that congress throngli appropriate legislation and adequate appropriations approx c and proxhte for deep xxalertxaxs Ixy the Missis, sippl and M. U«mu« rixei-s 1 lie constantly growing volume ot tax exempt securities imposes an un just burden on the owners of tangi ble property. YY'c therefore urge the prompt submission of an amendment for the eorrecnon of this Injustice. In this connection re renew our objection to the proposed sales tax and again demdrnl the restoration of the excess profits tax and the retention of the higher Surtaxes on Incomes. YVe also urge Jhe enactment of a graduated in heritance and gift tax laxx that would take all of an estate tn excess of $1.000,000. Cheaper nitrates are essential to agricultural prosperity in ttme "t peace and to the public security and national safety in time of war. Be lieving that such a desirable result • an Ih- so obtained we urge congress to accept Immediately the Ford pro posal for the completion anil operation of the Muscle Shoals power project.
