Situation Bad in West
By t nlonul **fnIce
Washington, Aug. £2.—'The Depart
ment of Justice launched today a
drive to put a host of fake stock sales
men in jail.
The work will be in charge of
Assistant Attorney tJeneral t'rim,
who has Just completed a visit to
federal courts throughout (he nation
and arranged for the roundup.
Dockets will be cleaned of pending
cases and new indictments will he
immediately sought on a large num
ber of complaints. In order to expe
dite the necessary litigation federal
judges and attorneys have agreed to
work every day until the task is com
pleted.
.It is admitted the federal investi
gation on which the prosecutions
will be based was prompted h*- the ac
tivities of neVspapers in revealing
\h/&i millions have beep lost through
J^'iicket.shops and fake stock concerns.
Tn every federal district the dockets
are littered with oil % fraud cases.
Tlie offenders are enjoying liberty be
cause other matters have prevented
their cases coming to trial, it was
said. Assistant Atty. (Jen. ( rim ar
ranged with Judges to go from one
circuit to another, as assigned, so
that '.ne wheels of juafice will grind
-continually. .
On the Pacifies coast and in the
southwest, it was stated, the situa
tion is particularly bad and must be
remedied at once. Men Under indict
ment for oil and stock frauds, it was
said, are taking advantage of their
liberty to organize and practice other
fra uds.
Mr. t.'rlm said that he would "allo
cate’'judges from circuits where the
dockets are clean and will if neces
sary use as many as three judges
sitting in the same jurisdiction at the
same time.
This pregram will make It nee?.,,
sar.v for the time being to cite tin
fraud cases precedence ove prohibi
tion cases, which heretofore haw had
the light of way. Tt was explained,
hosier, that in most districts the
dry cases have been kept up to date. j
or so nearly so (hat a delay now will
not prove harmful.
To take up the new cases, grand I
juries will be convened at once, a was
stated, co-operating with postal. .■

Politics of Business Situation
Uppermost in Washington Minds
Economic Normalcy Hinges on Settlement of Ruhr
Situation—Relief for Farmers Is Also Found
Necessary by Leaders.
By MARK SII.MVAV
Washington, Aug. 22.—What every
body calls the “business situation” is
much on Washington's mind. To
some, it is a matter of concern for
political reasons, looking to the elec
tion next year. To others, It is a
matter of concern from the point of
view of the administrative manage
ment of the country. This latter
group is trying to determine first
whether business is likely to grow
better, or to grow worse, through the
operation of ordinary conditions, anli,
second, if bail conditions threaten,
what can be done to forestall them
within the limits of legitimate gov
ernment influence on business and
industry.
Nearly all the pessimism starts
with the Ruhr and ‘ Europe. It is
Rue, that front the economic point
of view, (lie Ruhr and Europe are
very Uid Indeed. They have been
worse all along than America tfcs
understood. From tile standpoint of
business and getting the world back
to economic normalcy, the Ruhr situ
ation is sliter madness. Rut. the thing
to remember is. that the Ruhr situa
tion can change for the better over
night.
Hopeful Possibility.
It is within possibility that nn any
morning the dispatches from Europe
might be such as to give proetjcally
• very line of business in America a
stimulus toward optimism. If France
and Britain should settle their dif
ferenees, and if they should fix Ger
man reparations at a feasible sunt, in
stantly about every business man in
Germany and man* in other coun
tries would be a customer for Ameri
can goods and American credit.
Tins is, the hopeful possibility.
On the other hand, if Britain and
France do not agree, things will be
very bad indeed throughout western
Europe, and front a present bad, they
would go to a future worse. But
while this is true, it is not true that
worse conditions in Europe will alone
or necessarily make worse conditions
in America. Nearly everybody, who
looks into the sit nation thoughtfully,
says that America has already die
counted the worst that can happen in
Whrope. In other words, one turn of
affairs in Europe might give an im
mense stimulus to America; the other
turn cannot mak® things materially
worse for us.
I nited Slat#* Action Opposed.
Th consideration of this European
aspect of our American economic
future m v be concluded by saying,
that practically no person of any com
- uu* ru < in Washington-'believes that
Annri< either can or ought to at*

tempt anything in the way of initia
tive toward settling the Ruhr ques
tion. It is a thing of fate which we
cannot control or affect within the
restraints of wise action on our part.
There are sortie who say we might
try to purchase an early prosperity
in Kurope by forgiving several billion
doliai's of debts, but practically no
one in any position of responsibility
believes it would be cither wise or
practicable for us to try.
The cure of Europe must arise
within Kurope. Only in case ail the
parties concerned should ask us to act
as mediator can we take a hand in
the situation. As to the money and
credit which Europe must have so
soon as it gels on the trgek again,
every btmness man In Kurope knows
lhat American private hankers have
an abundance of funds which w ill be
available as soon as tlie conditions arc
right.
Farmer's (nmlition Bad.
Next to Kurope, tije American
wheat fancier is the principal sub
ject of consideration. His condition
if very had. The present price of
wheat does not pay the cost of
producing it. and if present prices
continue, a good many wheat farm
ers must face bankruptcy. Rut this
applies only to the farmers who raise
w heat only. Farmers in other lines,
and farmers on the whole, are not as
badly off as they were two years
ago. In the near future, several
ihitigs are expected to make things
somewhat less distressing to the farm
er. one is that the most of wiiat he
buys is likely to go down. The build
ing iioom in cities, which is now the
principal area of excessive demand for
labor and consequently excessively ex
alted wages, is expected soon to reach
the point where the five years ac
cumulated deficit of buildings will
have been filled and the pace will
slacken.
Belief tu Be Discussed.
Nevertheless, when congress meets
in December, the relatively submerged
rendition of the farmer will be most
to the front. Everybody in Washing
ton admits the need to help the farm
er. Everybody is willing to go the
limit to help hint. They are w illing to
regard the farmers .<» a preferred in
dustry. Rut wdien It comes to prar
tical suggestions, there a e not. man-cT*
One ha« been to relieve the farmer of
taxes, to admit frankly that the farms
! should be preferred to the cities and
to put the taxes on the latter. But
'that is less for Washington to do
than the for* the states. Federal
taxation on the farmers is slight. It
is the state taxes for roads, schools
and the like that have recently been
expanded to unreasonable heights.

The special committee or the Omaha
Chamber of Commerce, handling the
wheat and flour campaign, held a
meeting yesterday to consider a letter
front President Gorman of the t hi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific railway,
who is acting chairman of the western
presidents conference committee.
After the meeting, John L. Kennedy,
chairman, gave out the following
statement:
"Tite railroads have not changed
their attitude on the proposed rate
reductions on wheat and flour fot ex
port. They are still opposed to them.
Objections Answered.
“When the Omaha committee was
in Chicago 10 days ago. the Interstate
commerce commission wired the rail
road executives, suggesting an early
conference on the proposed reduc
tions. Since then, Mr. flurn^i wrote
the chairman of the commission ex
plaining the opposition of the rail
roads to tlie reduced rates. At the
same time, he wrote the Omaha
committee, enclosing a copy erf his
letter to Mr. Meyer, chairman of the
Interstate Commerce commission, and
expressed the hope that out commit
tee would now he satisfied with the
attitude of the railroads.
“The members of the Omaha com !
mittce were .neither impressed nor j
convinced by tlie arguments advanced
by the railway executives to the
Interstate Commerce commission.
They had answered most of them in
Chicago They confidently believe in
tile soundness of their own pruposi
tion, and they are thoroughly con
vince! Jhat the railroads are losing
a. great opportunity to render a real
public service. This is the opinion of
Senator Capper of Kansas, as force
fully expressed by letter and telegram;
and }n a recent statement Secretary
Wallace said the railroads could help
by reducing rates on farm product?
for export.

“The railroad* have not directly re j
fused the reduced rates The-,- hs\-e.
however, undertaken to Justify their I
negative attitude, and so the matter
rests.
“The psycoiogical effect of the cam
paign to buy wheat and flour has
been heyoad expectation. Th« farm

their wheat. They are now planning
to hold It, and meanwhile the price Is
gradually advancing.”
