Suits and Bolt Goods Stolen
From Bernier Tailoring

Special Deputies Appointed
to Search All Cars Fail to

sible for Crime.
The tailor shop owned and oper
ated by J. H. Bernier, located In
the Marks building on North Jack
son street, was robbed and then
fired late last night Nineteen bolts
of suit goods, and four or five fin
ished suits, two of them new ones
ready for delivery comprised the
loot which the thieves obtained.
The shop was entered through
the rear door, where a panel was
brokea out. There were two doors
Intervening between the bark
store room and the front of the
shop, and the thieves apparently
took considerable time forcing
their way In to the room where
the cloth was kept.
An auger was used to bore holes
In the doors, cutting around the
locks so that the doors could
be I
orced open.
The robbery apparently ' occur
red early in the evening, while the
streets were crowded, and the re
moval of the goods must have
been carried on in plain sight, as
the bolls were piled on a table in
the room fronting on the main
street. Indications were that a
light truck was backed up to the
rear door of the establishment
and the stolen articles loaded In
that vehicle. Tracks were found
leading out of the alley to Wash
ington street, the tire Impression
showing that the car had then
turned down to Rose street, and
then south towards Cass.

light truck, were seen speeding
south shortly after 10 o'clock, Is be

After looting the shop the
thieves piled up boxes containing
trimmings, paper, kindling and oth
er Inflammable materials and aet
fire to the structure in two places.
The fire apparently was started
with the purpose of covering up
the evidences of the robbery.
Although the bold robbery evi
denced an experienced hand, the
thieves were apparently inexperi
enced as arsonists. The rubbish
used to start the fire contained
great deal of cloth, which caused
considerable smoke, so that the

"It must be admitted by the

"But It Is in the Inner life of

VISIONS FINE FUTURE
Says Government Control
of Prices Would Bring
Over-Production and
Then a Collapse.
CHICAGO, Dec. 7. Convinced
that cooperative marketing with
governmental encouragement is
the best solution or the farmers
problem. President Coolidge in
tends to give the movement his
active and energetic assistance.
He is opposed to proposals that
the government sell and buy farm
products, or fix prices directly or
indirectly. Further he believes
present tariff duties benefit the
farmer and should not be revived.
Outlining his views on the agri
cultural situation and. proposed
remedies In an address today at
the annual convention of the Am
erican farm bureau federation the
president said that despite Its pre
sent embarrassments, agriculture
as a whole should lead industry 16
future prosperity.
"I believe th,at the past history
or the relative trend of prices be
tween farm products and other
commodities Is of tremendous
significance." he told his a'wll
ence. made up of represenlative
farmers. "The surplus lands of
the country are exhausted. The
industrial population is out strip
ping the farm population. Manu
facturing . Is expanding. These
must come to the farmers for
their food and thfXrraw materials.
While we can produce more, the
markets for food are Increasing
much faster than present farm
productivity. The future of agri
culture looks to be exceedingly
secure."
Cooperation Value Keen.
Referring to the cooperative
movement as the most Important
development of late years In the
agricultural rield and emphasizing
the "crop surplus problem as a
vexing factor In the farm price
situation, Mr. Coolidge expressed
the opinion that with the econo
mic Information furnished by the
department of agriculture with
better warehouses and storage
facilities and a belter credit struc
ture, much can he done to take
rare of the ordinary surplus.
As to proposals for the organi
sation of cooperation thru which
the government would directly or
indirectly fix prices or engage In
buying and selling farm products.
t"e president made this observa
tion: "This would be a dangerous un
dertaking, and as the emergency
is not so acute. It seems at present
to have lost much of its support.
No matter. how It is disguised, the
moment the government engages
in buying and selling by that act
It fixes prices. Moreover. It would
apparently delroy cooperative as
sociation and all other marketing
machinery, for no one can com
pete with the government. I'ltU
malely It would end the Indepen
dence which the farmers of this
country enjoy as a result of ren
tunes or struggle and prevent the
exercise of their own Judgment
and control In cultivating their
innn and marketing their pro-
duct."
Fanner Mil).t lie Independent.
"Government control cannot he
divorced from political control.
The overwhelming Interest of the
consumer, not the smaller Inter
est ot the producer would be sure
io nominaie in Tne enji. I mess
we f(x corresponding prices for
other commodities a high fixed
price for agriculture would merely
stimulate over production that
would end In complete collapse.
"To have agriculture worth
anything. It must rest on an Inde
pendent business basts. It can
not at the name time be part pri
vate business and part govern
ment business. I believe the gov
ernment ought to give it every
altance. but It ought to leave
II as the support, the benefit, and
the business of the people. The
interest which the national gov
ernment takes In agriculture Is
manifest by an appropriation of
about $140,000,000 a year, which
la nearly one-fifth of our total
expenditure, exclusive of the post-
office, prior In the war. I do not
need to rernnnt what Is beln

Need of Revision.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. An
overhauling of agricultural freight
rates, revision of farm taxes, gov
ernment encouragement to co
operative farm organizations, and
were the outstanding reiiiminen-
fdalions made today by Secretary
jarnine ot tne Agriculture Depart
ment In his annual report.
The Secretary said that while
there has lieen a general Improve
ment during the past year, farm
conditions are no; yet satisfac
tory. Declaring for a general over
hauling or all freight rales, he
proposed that revision should lake
Into account the market value of
farm products as reflected over
a reasonable period of jcars. and
"likewise the influence of freight
rates on the economic develop
ment of different regions and of
the country as a whole."
ricxllile Itatea ecil-l.
"In relation to pre-war condi
tions.'' said the report, 'the price
of farm products are not yet on
par with freight rates. The level
or farm rominodliy prices In 8ep
llemhcr was 144 percent of the
pre-war average, whereas freight
rales on agricultural commodities
were 1 r. K perrent or the pre-war
average. More over the prlres or
agricultural products flutiiuto
greaily Troin year lo yew where
as freight rates are stable and aro
not frequently changed."
It was added that farm freight
rates should he based on a con-
: tinuance set of general conditions.
not on those of any given year.
"inilcsi freight rates can bo made
more flexible, being raised when
prlres are high and lowered when
they decline within reasonable
limits."
I'nniMT Ovcr-Timed.
Pointing to the greatly Inrrens
j ed taxes per acre the farmer Is
required to pay now over the
! amount several years ago, the Sec
. retary cxprowd a view that It
would tie liupoKsililo to restore
larni income.
"Farm taxes," the report said,
"are chiefly general nronerlv taxes
levied by the mute and the local.!
units on the basis of capital value
and they bear little or no direct
relation 4n current farm earn
ings." "One of the most Important fac
tors which contribute to the ex
cessive taxation of agriculture, is
the tcmienry f many states lo
