Farmers Have
Day at Western
Rate Hearing
Leaders Say Eaise in Freight Costs
Will Add Hardship to Present
Agricultural Crisis.
Washington, May 2S. A succes
sion of protests against the proposal
by western railroads to increase
freight rates was made to the inter
state commerce commission Thurs
day, the eighth day of oral arguments
jin its western rate investigation.
A. D. Stevens, counsel for the
(Farmers National Grain Dealers as
jsociation, declared that so long as
the Hoch-Smith resolution remained
in force it was the duty of the com
mission to recognize that a depres
sion existed in agriculture and to fix
rates accordingly. The resolution,
he atlded, foreclosed to the commis
sion the right to order the slightest
increase in these charges.
How Abont Corn?
Commissioner Aitchison asked:
"Would you give wine grapes the
lowest possible lawful rate, even
though they might be used for un
lawful purposes?"
Before Mr. Stevens could reply,
Commissioner McManamy put in:
"And how about corn, which is some
times used for the same purpose?"
' When you place an illicit con
struction on those commodities," Mr.
Stevens returned, "you immediately
takf ttiem nut of flip m erici! 1 f n rn 1
class."
k. K. Gartner, representing the
Farmers Grain Dealers' association
of -Voith Dakota, and J. A. Little,
counsel for the North Dakota Fair
Freight Kates association, said the
commission cculd not increase rates
generally on top of specific
increases
proposed in the North Dakota case,
which now are under suspension.
John Benton protested against any
increase on behalf of the North Pa
cific
Millers' association.
Tarm Head Testifies
Fred S. Jackson, of the American
Farm Bureau federation, said the
rate of return was based on the mar
ket price of railroad money invest
ments and Chairman Eastman asked
!if the commission could not fix a
slower rate than a xi per cent in view
of price changes on the market since
1'22. when that figure was determ
ined. Mr. Jackson said he thought
jit could.

of 'rates were B. 11. Afwood, for the

THE POPFIES BLOOM AGAIN
The poppies are blooming again
aercs the sea and the crimson hued
blooms that dot the pleasant hills
and fertile vallies of eastern France
are nodding again in the early sum
mer sunshine, their beauty covering
the scars where once great armies
struggled and their bright hued
blooms wave above the last resting
places of the soldier dead, where
friend and foe alike are sleeping in
the dreamless rest of death.
Each year the American Legion
Auxiliary of the nation are selling
the artificial poppies over the length
and breadth of the land for the
double purpose of aiding those who
are still bearing the burden of war
in their physical eiisabilities and as
a tribute of memory to those whose
lives were laid down for their coun
try and are resting here in the
homeland or across the sea, where
they fell in the great struggle.
The poppies that are sold each
year are the products of the labor of'
the di-abled veterans of the World
war who are still suffering the
handicaps of their infirmities and
jhave prepared the poppies for sale so
Uhat the profits derived therefrom
may go to aid others in veterans'
hospitals over the country who are
in need of many attentions and com
, forts. ;
I The funds derived from the sale '
of the poppies goes to the care and
!afd of thtfe who have been disabled!
land are still suffering from the ef
Ifects of their service. !
The sale here of poppies will be
on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and ,
the American Legion Auxiliary will
be assisted in the sale by the Eighth
grade pupils of the city schools. Buy-
jing a poppy will bring a little more
j comfort and cheer to some suffering
j disabled veteran and wearing them
is a tribute of memory to those who
come no more.
The Shirley poppy, a native wild
flower in the eastern section of
France, has been adopted as the offi
icial flower of the World war veter
'ans and their presence on Memorial
day is a lasting tribute to the mem
ory of the fallen.
"Poppies in the wheat fields, on
the pleasant hills of France.
Reddening in the summer breeze
and bids them nod and dance.
Toppies in the wheat fields, how
still beside them lie,
Scattered forms that stir not when
the star shells burst On high;
Gently bending o'er them be
neath the moon's soft glance,
Fcmpies in the wheat fields on
the ransomed fields of France."

East Opposed to
Farm Aid, Fearing
High Food Costs
Representatives of Industrial Centers
Ban Tariff Benefits to Agricul
ture for Selfish Reasons
Washington, May 27. In an anal
ysis of the vote on the Haugen bill.
Congressman Simmons of Nebraska
declares the result to show that th
industrial east, which charges the
farmers of the agricultural west a
higher price for its products in order
that, under the tariff, higher wages
may be paid and larger profits earn
ed, refused to extend the same bene
fits to the farmer.
"The representatives of the bigger
cities, and of the industrial sections,"
said Congressman Simmons, "voteel
against the farmers, notwithstanding
the pledges of both major political
parties, because they feared the ex
tension of tariff protection to the
farmers would mean higher prices to
their constituents for the products of
the farm. In other words, they feared
higher food prices.
"This is the narrowest sort of self
ishness and in the end it cannot be
permitted to control legislation that
is designed for the benefit of the en
tire country. The demand for placing
the farmer on an economic equality
with industry was incorporated in the
platforms of both the republican and
democratic parties at their last con
ventions. That demand will never be
taken out of those platforms. Not
only will it not be taken out, but
when the national conventions meet
again, the demands will be restated
in even bolder and more direct lan
guage. Prosperity Will Fade
''The industrial east, which the
farmers have helped to prosperity
will eventually see that they can
not hold that prosperity if they in
m's? upon being guided by selfishness
and they will eventually realize that
if the tariff can be used to increase
their wages and profits, it must also
H e used to increase the rewards of
the farmers."
In support of his analysis. Con
gressman Simmons quoted the sec
tions from the platforms of both par
ties in which they promised support
to the: cause of agriculture. These
planks are as follows:
Republican platform:
"In dealing with agriculture,
the republican party recognizes
that we are faced with a funda
mental national problem and
that the prosperity and welfare
of the nation as a whole is de
pendent upon the prosperity and
welfare of our agricultural pop
ulation. We recognize that
agricultural activities are still
struggling with adverse condi
tions that have brought deep
distress. We pledge the party
to take whatever steps are neces
sary to bring back a balanced
condition between agriculture,
industry and labor."
Democratic platform:
"We pledge ourselves to stim
ulate by every proper govern
mental activity the progress of
the co-operative marketing
movement and the establishment
of an export marketing corpora
tion or commission in order that
the exportable surplus may not
establish the price cf the whole
crop."
Analysis cf Vote
"The Haugen bill, indorsed by a
large number of farmers, farm orga
nizations and business organizations
of the west central states, was de
feated by a vote of 212 to 167. Two
years ago, the McNary-Haugen bill
was defeated by a vote of 223 to 155.
;Of the members of the house, 103
jwho were also members of the 6Sth
; congress, voted for both bills. Eleven
: members who voted two years ago
for the McNary-Haugen bill, voted
i against this year. Twenty-two who
j voted "No" two years ago, changed
ithis year to "Yes."
The vote in the house analyzed on
party lines shows 9S republicans. 66
i democrats and three farmer-labor
; members voting for the plan of farm
legislation offered the nation by the
western farm representatives. Voting
against it were 120 republicans. 90
(emocrats and the? two socialists,
Herger and La Guardia. The repub
licans voted 44 per cent, and the
democrats voted 4 3 per cent in favor
of the bill, while the republicans
voted 5 6 per cent and the- democrats
57 per cent against. The support of
he bill was 59 per cent republican
and
per cent democratic.
Analysis by States
"A much more effective and im
portant analysis of the vote can be
had," said Mr. Simmons, from a con
sideration of it by states.
"The following states voted solidly
for the Kaugen bill: Arizona. Idaho,
Indiana, Iowa. Montant, Nebraska,
Nevada. New Mexico, North Dakota,
South Dakota. Utah and Wyoming
all but one of the 100-per-cent-for
states being west of the Mississippi
river. Likewise, 12 states voted 100
per cent against the farm bill: Con
necticttt, Delaware, Kentucky, Louis
iana, Maine, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
Rhode Island, Vermont and West Vir-
g,ii.d. ii win e noieu inai au uul

Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, North

Wisconsin. Again, it will be noted
.that all but three are from west of
the Mississippi. Those states that
.voted 50 per cent or more against the
bill are Arkansas, California, Florida,
s.ippi. Ohio. Oregcu, Pennsylvania.!
south Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and
Virginia all but three from east of
the Mississippi.
"No one can forecast what the sen
ate will do, But assuming that the
house plan comes to a vote in the
senate and assuming, also, that the
senators vote their states as did the
house members, then the bill would
likewise meet senate defeat for 21
states voted a majority of their mem
bership for the bill and 26 ttates
voted a majority of their membership;
against the bill, and one state, Ala
bama, divided evenly. On that basis,
the senate vote would be 4 3 for to
53 against."
Fail to Heal
the Breach Over
Modernism
Besolutions Drafted by Committee of
Fundamentalists Bitterly Assails
Members of School.
Washington, May 27. Concilatory
efforts to bring about a cessation of
the fundamental-modernist contro
versy in the northern Baptist's con
vention being held here failed to
night when members of the Baptist
Bible society decided to nominate a
slate of officers to be presented to
the nominating committee tomorrow.
The action was taken in t he-
adoption of a resolution which charg
ed that modernist leaders were be
ing maintained in the church with
the money of fundamentalists.
"It is nothing less than a sacre-
ligious outrage that modernism shall
play the cuckoo, capture the nest
built by others, lay the eggs of un
belief in the same and compel fun
damentalism by continued gifts to
those institutions to brood fidelity
and finally produce the full fledged
Unitarian now increasingly character
izing and cursing evangelic schools
and churches that wear the name of
Baptists."
Drafted by Fundamentalists.
The resolution was drafted by a
committee of live fundamentalist
ministers appointed by the Bible
union at a previous meeting. This
committee was fade up of the Rev.
W. B. Riley of Minneapolis, Dr.
John Roach Stratton of New lork.
Rev. Charles E. Hurlburg, Oakland,
Cal.; Dr. B. F. Fellman of Pasa
dena. Cal., and Rev. J. Frank Nor-
ris of Fort Worth, Tex. The union's
action followed that of yesterday of
the Northern Baptist convention in
adopting a resolution which would
permit individual churches to use
their own discretion in the matter
of baptism, but which would require
that all delegates to the convention
must have received bapasm by im
mersion. Adoption of this resolution has
been described by fundamentalists
themselves by a defeat of their
cause, but they have generally pro
claimed that it has aided their
chances for ultimate victory by mak
ing possible a vigorous campaign
"back home" on the question of
modernism.
Dr. Harry E. Fosdick, pastor of
the Park Avenue Baptist church, of
which John D. Rockefeller, jr., is a
member, was assailed at the Bible
union meeting as an "apostate" and
those attending voted to "consecrale
our means to the body task of ex
pelling mammonized modernism from
our beloved denomination."
The Park Avenue church and its
pastor, said the resolution, "not only
stand as the champions ol modernism,
but also as the representatives of
the uncounted millions of Rocke
feller wealth," which was charged
with building up an educational
monopoly imperiling historic and
spiritual Christianity.
Taking cognizance of talk of a
split in the northern branch of the
church, the resolution declared that
the fundamentalists "propose to stay
within the denomination until and
yet after mammonized modernism is
overthrown and expelled" It stated
that the denomination was confront
ed with the "twin monsters of mod
ernism and mammonisni," and pre
dicted that "any temporary victory
of those two foes shall not be per
manent." !
poison found in
'sample:' floub
Kansas City, May 2S. A poiscn
plot directed against Circuit Judge
E. E. Porterfield was revealed here
Thursday with the analysis of a
three-pound "sample" sack of pan
cake flour, which the jurist recent
ly received through the mail. The
flour contained a large amount of
poison. j
Search was being made Thursday,
night in several western states for a
man, whom authorities refused to
name, on a federal charge of send-;
ing the poison through the mails
The zeal cf the would-be murderer
to do his job
well was his undoing.
The amount of poison
chemists said
inserted in the package was so great
it nauseated the victims, giving re
lief. A small amount probably would
have brought death.
