Spilhnan. candidate for attorney general, and Hob Simmons, candidate for congress in the Sixth district. He alto dis cussed national question. Want Foreign Dept Paid. In insisting on payment of the for eign debt to tlits government, Howell aaid: . "When England entered the world war she possessed one-fifth the sur face of the world, and when the war was over she owned one-fourth, and et she fee' he cannot pay us in terest on our loans, to say nothing' of the principal." His speech in part follows: "One of the great shortcomings of the American people in connection with their public affairs is that they fail to apply tr)e remarkable business acumen which tliey possess to public business. The people don't teem to realize that they are the govern ment, that it is they who must pay the taxes, that i they who must suf fer if public affairs are not con ducted in bushiest-like manner. We will often make a brave start to do so, and then balk because the in terests of a very few will be affected forgetting all about the interest of many. "Consider the Federal Land banks. They are great co-operative institu tions that have been established bv our government for the benefit of the farmers; but instead of giving these banks every facility to do busi ness, congress limits the loans a co operative bank can make to a max imum of $10,0(X) to-a sort of retail business. Many of the choicer loans afforded exceed $10,000, so that a co operative bank has to forego this (class of proiitable business." He said Jhat if the. Federal banks were given an opportunity to handle affairs the same as private institu tions are conducted that it will be possible to reduce the interest rate materially. "Anything wc can do to aid the agricultural interests in this great transmississippi region, we are donig for ourselves; even though we live in the cities and villages we ae all agriculturalists. The fann er's burden is our burden. His prosperity is our prosperity. This v e have had reasons to realize as a result of the tremendous transporta tion rates to Vvliich farm products lave been recently subjected. Competition in Rate. ''There was a time when there was competition in railroad rates. It was then that we rode for 2 cents. a mile. It was then that, it did not cost two cars of corn to ship tnree to a sea port, as has recently been the case; hut the possibility of competition m railroad rates came to an end with the enactment of the Eseh-Cmnmms railroad bill, approved in February, ' The Interstate Commerce com mission was created in 1!W and. at that time, had merely recommenda tory powers. Later, because of the exactions of the railroads, authority wat givn the commission to fix maximum interstate rate, beyond which the railroads could not go.

I .loriu i iane, aepi. n. special speaking here today before an en thusiastic crowd delved into the tax ation problem and apain 'emphasised hit conviction that duplications could be eliminated in state government and efficiency and economy would prevail under hit administration. "We must bear in mind," Randall said, "that only 19 "cents of the tax dollar goes to our state government and the remainder is spent at home by the county, municipal and town ship governments and your chool boards." "Our increase in Kale taxes Is more than accounted for by our ap propriations for a soldier bonus, good roads and new state house." Continu ing, Randall pointed to the campaign alogan of his opponent, which fol lows: "Look at your tax receipts and turn the rascalt out." "I looked at my tax receipts and they were large last year," he said, "and then I be gan investigating. I learned that much of my tax money was (pent by the school board, "I called on the members. They told tne of increasing number of children, enlarged school building needed, a new teachers and other necessities. My democratic opponent includes these men as rascals. "Next I called on the county board and learned of good roads demanded by the people, concrete bridges and culverts built and improvements made. These, too, are men in your community classified as rascals. "A visit to city officials was next. I learned of paving and sewerage projects, either voted by the people or ordered by the board, street wid ening projects, parks and other im provements. These city and village of ficials also are classed as rascals in his slogan for their activities caused the expenditure of 81 cents of the tax dollar." Randall told of his life on the farm until he was 26, of his entrance into the country banking business, his final withdrawal from the bank and his pursuit in recent years in managing and improving farm lands. "I probably know the farmer and his needs as well as any man in the state.'' he said. "This assertion is based first on my knowledge of real dirt farming, the actual hard work of a farmer. Then upon my knowledge of his financial problems and his urgent need of better credit facilities through my experience in a bank which derived 90 per cent of its bus iness from the farmers and last, through my later experience as an investor and improver of farm property." Continuing, Randall outlined the work done by the Nebraska group of the War Finance corporation, of which be was a member. Randall went to Greeley tonight, where he will speak at tiie county fair.

The administration tariff bill in the form in which it will become a law, probably before October I, wa made public today with the presenta tion of the conference report to the house. Many of the rate proposed by the senate were reduced by the republican conferees, but the experts estimated that the level of it duties wat only slightly below the level of those in the fainou l'ayne-Aldrich ect, the last republican protective tar iff. Fl.ising their calculations on the present volume of import tiade, treasury experts figure that the bill would yield an annual government revenue of $400,000.t0. I bis would be $44,0)0,0(KJ more than was re ceived during the last fiscal year through combined operation of the democratic Underwood law and the republican emergency tariff act, both of which will be tupplanted by this bill immediately after it is signed by the president. House to Vote Today. Final action on the measure by the house tomorrow was the plan of leader under agreement made today for only four hours of general debate with a vote to follow immediately. The bill will then go to the senate where debate of a, week or more is expected to precede the flnal'vote.

Democrats will continue their attacks on the measure as one itrtain to increase the cost of living 'by several billions of dollar a year and as encouraging the con tinuation of war prices. Republican proponents of the tar iff have defended it and plan to con tinue to do o as the first to accord agriculture a proper measure of pro tection and as necessary to protect both industry and labor in the present abnormal world economic situation and more particularly front disastrous competition from the low cost of pro duction countries in central Europe and the orient. , Three Reduction!

Chief fighting points in the bill thus far have been the wool, sugar and dye duties, all of which were re duced, some in conferem'e, and the so-called flexible tariff provision giv ing the president broad authority over tariffs.

Although no signals have been heard from the 47 men since the first J u minutes oi tneir imprisonment on August 27, veteran miners believe that a few of the stronger and more experienced men are still alive. They state, however, that the number witf be easily counted on the fingers of one hand, while others are firmly confident that all have been killed by the deadly poison fumes that have filled the burning mine for the last two weeks.

P.) With more than 20,000 affidavit of assaults by strikers and strike ym paiiuer on railroad worker in every section of the country, the government today launched it ef tort to show a concerted effort by the strfking ihoprraftt to interfere with interstate traffic by driving rail road employe from their work. Overruling the objection of attor neys for 15. M. Jewell and John Scott the strike leaders. Federal Judge Janie H. Wilkerson admitted the udiilaviu in evidence, for the time being at bast, in the hearing on the government hill for a temporary injunction against some 240 shop- crafts pfticials and more than .(IHI.OiM) of their followers. The court likewise deferred for the present argueut on the defense mo tion for modification of the tempor ary restraining order now in force. He ruled that the government' con tention that the dominant purpose of the alleged conspiracy is the destruc tion of interstate traffic would be a vital factor in determining whether the unions were entitled to any modi fication, and directed the govern ment to proceed with the evidence on which it expects to prove that ctuim. Assault on Evidence. The value as evidence of the affi davits of persons assaulted by the strikers and strike sympathizers, or atiidavits of public or railroad of ficials claiming knowledge of such assaults, was vigorously opposed by Donald R. Richberg of Chicago and Frank Mulholland of Toledo, attor neys for Mr. Jewell and Mr. Scott. They fought their introduction and entered a general objection" to all of them that the government may pro dure. The affidavits, they declared, are at the best only secondary evidence and they fail, they added, to show any connection between their clients and the perpetrators of the acts of violence complained of. Mr. Richberg challenged the read ing of 'bulletins from various local strike headquarters over the country presented to the court by J. A. Fow ler, special assistant attorney general, and pointed out that the bulletins themselves in many cases showed the peaceful intent of the strikers and their desire to avoid violence and co-operation with the peace officials. Blackburn Esterline, assistant to the solicitor general, read nearly 200 of the affidavits telling of assaults to the court today. Violence Is Detailed. Starting in with attacks on Santa Fe workers in Chicago ami- Illinois points. Mr. Esterline worked west over that line, state by state, show ing its employes everywhere had been subjected to violence. From the Santa Fe he shifted to the South ern Pacific and other roads operating in the southwest, then worked north along the Pacific slope, and tomor row will take up cases ii; the west and northwest. Today's exhibits ranged from the tar and feathering of a former em ployee . . . with photographs at tached ' . . . through bombings, shooting, attempts to run down workers with automobiles, beatings, threats, verbal abuse, rock throwing, and even intimidations of wives and children. The monotonous reading was en livened occasionally by the refine ments of torture developed against some of the strike victims. One affi davit of a nonunion man captured by men said to her strikers, told how his captors discussed a half dozen various forms of punishment, including plac ing pebbles in his shoes and forcing him to walk before their automobile or tving a rope around his neckband dragging him behind the rar, and how they finally compromised by beating him. In upholding the governments right to develop its charges that the paramount purpose of the alleged conspiracy of the strikers is to destroy interstate commerce, before the de iense motion for modification of the (Turn ta I'aco Two, Column Two.

P.)-A husky janitor put a sudden end to negotiations seeking a basis for set tlement of the railway shopcrafts' strike today, when mop and broom in hand, he ordered the union lead ers out of the hall in which they were meeting. They left, adjourning until tomorrow morning without taking any definite action. It was at the most critical period of the two-day session, that the jani tor, intent on performing his duty of preparing the hall for another meet ing, knocked loudly for admittance on the doors behind which the shopcraft policy committee of 90 was in ses sion. Clean Up for "Wimmin." "Vou'se fellows gotta get out o'here at 5 sharp," he declared. "I gotla clean up for some wimmin." The demand was transmitted direct to B. M. Jewell, strike leader, who bad just, finished an impassioned ap peal, and a vote was in immediate prospect. But with the lease on the hall expiring in 10 minutes, the pro ceedings were halted while- efforts were made to obtain a few minutes' grace from the janitor and then from the building authorities. When these efforts failed, the adjournment was ordered. Gathering newspaper men about him, Mr. Jewell issued the following statement for publication: J he meeting has adjourned today to meet tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock"" without any action having been taken.

William Cosgrave, president ot the Dail Kiieaim, addressing parliament said that if those holding up arms against the Irish government thought the government was afraid to main tain its Supremacy they were badly mistaken. If member of the government failed, others would replace them, he said. The government was will ing to have a peaceful understanding with those now in arms, but it must be on the government's basis. The government wanted peace with Eng land and would tolerate no breach in the treaty. Peace must be a constitutional one, there must be no armed bodies without the sanction of parliament and parliament must control all arms. "We insist on the people's rights," he said. "We are the custodians of the people's rights, and we shall not hesitate to protect them. We are willing to have a peaceful under standing with those in arms, but it must be a definite peace." Mr. Cosgrave paid a tribute to the late Arthur Griffith and Michael Collins. He described them as "the mighty dead who are sleeping the sleep of immortals," and added: "They have, earned the rest which they denied themselves in life."
