-■■■• q-—_ Capper-Tincher Law Blamed for Slump in Wheat Huy Wheat Movement Wel come Substitute, Says Far mers’ Grain Secretary —Explains Faults. C. Vincent, secretary of the Farm ers' Grain company, believes that the Capper-Tincher ln,w has been one of the most potent factors in driving down the price of wheat. His views on the present wheat situation are concurred in by S. S. Carlisle, presi dent of the Omaha Grain exchange. "The ‘buy wheat' movement, which seems certain of success, will prove to be a welcome substitute for the speculators who were driven from the market by the Capper-Tincher law,” Mr. Vincent writes. He adds: "The first Capper-Tincher law prohibited trading in boards of trade, by placing a prohibitive tax upon such trades, but the supreme court declared the law unconstitu tional. Immediately a new Capper Tincher bill was drafted and this time It was upheld, placing all hoards of trade under federal control where future trading was conducted. The tfecretary of agriculture announced that future trading would not be stopped, but might tie regulated tf it was deemed desirable by the Depart ment of Agriculture." Inventors Driven Out. Mr. \®ncent then explains that thousands of Investors or speculators were driven out of the market hv the demand of government officials for certain Information. "Such a demand or the possibility that such a demand might come at any time, threw an additional ele ment of uncertainty into the market and thousands of these speculators simply withdrew and Invested thetr money in other lines, instead of sup porting the grain market with their speculative purchases,” Mr. Vincent said. He explains the operations of a typical grain market, beginning when the crop is coming In, the milling de mand filled, the export demand sup plied, and the overflow taken up by the grain merchants who own the large terminal elevators. ‘‘Every bushel now In storage is n speculation,” he writes. “The mer chants hope to secure a profit by a sale at a future time, when the mill or export demands recur; they also run the risk 01' meeting a lower mar ket, and this uncertainty renders the storage transaction n speculation.” He explains how continued repeti tion of these transactions keeps the wheels of commerce moving and pre vents the financial panic that other wise would follow. And ho further adds: “Senator Ladd and Senator-Elect Magnus Johnson say the speculators have retaliated and forced the prices down as a punishment for the passage of the Capper-Tincher law. These gentle men seem unable to distinguish be tween a 'cause’ and an 'effect.' Market Without Support. “As the shadow in the water fright ens the fish and they dart Into hid ing, so has the unfriendly enactment of the Capper-Tincher law driven the large investors and thousands of scat tered small speculators into othpr lines of investment or to the Winni peg market, and it has left the home market without its usual support. “It Is devoutly to be wished that the ‘buy whe&t' campaign may repair to some extent the dreadful mischief done by the Capper-Tincher law. “Under that law the boards of trade in all ‘future trading' markets are under government supervision. If they are guilty to the extent that senators ajlegp, It Is the duty of these senators to see that the crookedness Is punished, instead of spending their rtime politically consolidating the dis contented and politically capitalizing the discontent.’’ Omaha Pushes Plan for Export Rate Cut (('antinnrd From FMt.Oie.) npolis Civic and Commerce associa tion.

Special Dispatch to Tbe Omaha Dee. Grand Island. Neb., July 27.—Ho was only a lonesome blackbird look ing for a mat^. That is, until M ran across a pile of mash dumped by conscientious pro hibition officers in the corner of a pasture-near Walbach, Neb. Fifteen minutes later he was at least three of the four and twenty blackhirds originally baked in the traditional pie. Only the method of cookery was different This black bird was gloriously and hilariously “stewed.” He thought upon his sorrows, and he wept. He reflected upon the wrongs done to his rare by innumer able generations of uncouth, two legged creatures, and his feathers bristled. After vainly trying to scratch the back of his head with his left foot, he took flight. From that point onward the story is tearfully recounted by Loyal Ber ney, 5, son of Mr. and Mrs. Pete Berney. Loyal had fallen behind a group of older boys on the way to a neighbor hood swimming hole when the bird spied him. It circled, swooped and darted to the attack with all the finesse of a blackbird Itlckenbacher. Without warning he did a nose dive into the back of the boy's neck. The boy screamed. The attacker soared, circled and! returned for another shot. This t<nie it caught firm hold of the enemy neck with its beak, and, using Its wings ns flails, delivered an unmerci ful beating. By this time the older boys, at tracted by the youth's cries, arrived. The blarkbird, in the face of superior numbers, retired in good order to bis own camp. Ills flight zig-zagged somewhat. He was looking for a clove tree, before going home to the missus. r _ _ A New Graflex in Two Sizes Following the recently intro duced 4x5 Revolving Back Graflex, Series B, comes this same camera in the 354x4*1, size.
