both French and Italians that the oc
casion afforded check to the tendency
of the two allies to separate action
and of the two peoples toward re
ciprocal suspicion.
Farther Friction PrTeiited.
Though the premiers did not settle
any question in detail, they are de
clared to have reached an understand
ing that will prevent further friction.

rials contributed largely to the good
feeling of the Italian delegation.

the two countries) interests which
can easily be reconciled."

ditions essential, the statement con
tinues: "The premiers have resolved to
study in full accord a solution of the
RTave problems growing out of the
war. The essential aim remains gen
eral pacifications along equitable
grounds in respect to everv nation's
independence and the restoration of
normal economic relations, free from
all Idea of exclusive domination.
Close Entente Means Peace.
'M. Millerand and Giolitti recog

Baid that "as the campaign has been
vigorously contested by the democrats
on national issues, the result must
bo accepted as giving most conclusive
evidence that the voters of Maine re

KANSAS CITY. Mo., Sept! 13.
Growers of the spring wheat produc
ing area of the northwest are to be
urged to engage in the movement of
the winter wheat growers to hold their
wheat until it brings J2.75 a bushel
at country elevators, it was announced
today, following a wheat growers'
conference here.
Representatives of farmers in Kan
sas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Nebras
ka, ratified resolutions adopted by
state-wide meetings indorsing the
movement to hold wheat "until it
brings cost plus a small profit." Farm
organizations of Minnesota, the Da
kotas and Montana were urged to ap
peal to their members to follow suit.
A survey by which it was shown
that the cost of growing a bushel of
wheat to insure the farmers a 20 per
cent profit, was $2.77 in four states
and $2.75 in seven others, was the
basis of the price suggested.
The present situation, in which
wheat is being bought now at coun
try shipping- points as low as $2 a
bushel. Is not benefiting the con
sumer, the conferees said, declaring
that speculators are reaping the bene
fit. The conferees contended that a
low price would result in decreased
acreage next year, less production
and a consequent higher price than
that now being asked.
An executive committee was named
to handle details of marketing in the
four states.

DETROIT, s Mich., Sept. 13. (Spe
cial.) Representative James W. Good
of Iowa made a businesslike speech
tonight and told a gathering of
Wolverine republicans all about the
failure of the democratic administra
tion to carry out promises made to
the people, and opened books showing
democratic waste and extravagance.
Mr. Good, as chairman of the appro
priations committee of the house, is
one of the best informed men in the
United States on the subject of gov
ernment finances. He ridiculed Gov
ernor Cox's plan for a one and one
half consumption tax, and showed
where it would Increase the burden of
taxation instead of lightening it.
Mr. Good said in part:
"In 1912 the democratic party con
demned the republican party for ex
travagance and promised a return to
that simplicity and economy which
befits a democratic government, and a
reduction in the number of useless
offices, the salaries of which drain
the substance of the people. But the
books show what happened. As soon
as the democrats got into office they
commenced to pile up expenses and
jobs. Expenses of running the gov
ernment have steadily increased every
year since 1912, until the president
and his departmental heads asked
congress to give them, for this fiscal
year, almost nine times as mucn
money as the expenditures under the
republicans, which the democrats so
roundly denounced.
Waste Indicated Everywhere.
"Extravagance, waste and lneffl
iency are written on one page of the
history of this administration. On
July 1. 1912. there were 282,597 em
ployes of the United States engaged
n civil service. The numoer oi em
ployes has grown so fast that the
commission has not been able to count
them, apparently, but it estimates the
number on the payroll as 657,744, or
375.147 more than there were July l
1912, when the republicans were in
power. However, reliable informaton
is to the effect that the real number
totals more than 760.000. The demo
cratic administration thus admits It
has increased the payroll by 240 per
cent and stands charged by reliable
information as having increased it
by more than 350 per cent.
"Our government has an enormous
debt, now totaling approximately
$25,000,000,000. During the adminis
tration of Thomas Jefferson the an
nual expense for running the govern
ment was $1.52 per capita. During
the four years following the civil war
the total annual expense was ?J6.ui
per capita and during these four years
there was a rapid decrease In taxa
tion. For the fiscal year 1919 the
total of all expenditures, including
foreign loans, was an equivalent of
$339.52 for every man, woman and
child in the United States. The
amount of money the democrats asked
to carry on the business of the gov
ernment for the fiscal year would
have amounted to a sum equivalent
to $52 for every man, woman and
child In the United States if congress
had given them the money.
Budget System Vetoed.
"The crying need of today is for a
budget system. Millions of dollars a
year would be saved by such a sys
tem. Congress passed such a law a
the last session, but the presiden
vetoed it. The action of the presiden
and of the democrats in congress
clearly demonstrated that the demo
cratlc party Is not honestly in favo
of a budget system that will place
the government of the United States
on a sound business basis.
"Governor Cox has a plan to repeal
the excess profits tax which has made
living costs high and to enact anothe
consumption tax that will make them
still higher. In his speech of ac
ceptance he advocated placing a tax
probably 1 per cent, on the total
business of every going concern. Un
questionably taxes levied under the
so-called excess profits provision of
the revenue laws have in the main
been added to production costs and
the tax In the end paid by the con
sumer. The principle of this tax is
vicious and should be repealed.
"It would have been repealed if
congress had had the co-operation
and assistance of a real executive in
stead of being confronted with the
opposition of an autocrat.
"Mr. Cox proposes a tax more
odious than the excess profits tax a
tax on the backs and bellies of the
American people. It Is a tax that
very man who eats food or wears
clothing will be compelled to pay,
and it is a tax that will be pyra
mided many times and in the end
paid iy the consumer.
Cox's Flan la Odiona.
Tou of Detroit are Interested in
large manufacturers where iron and
steel are used. Put a tax of 1 4 Per
cent on business, which is only an
other term for consumption, and
what would be the result? The mine
owners who produce iron ore will
pay a tax of 1 per cent, the smel-
erer will be taxed the same on his
pig iron, the manufacturer of gray
as tings who mills or forges this
product will in turn be taxed the
same, the manufacturer who uses this
product will be assessed the tax, the
wholesaler would be taxed, the re
tailer would be taxed 1 per cent on
his total sales, and in the end who
will pay the tax? The consumer.
Of all taxes, the consumption tax,
especially at a time when living costs
have reached the breaking point for
the American people, is the most
odious. Vet this Is the tax Mr. Cox
would impose upon our people. It Is
never desirable to shift the burden
from those wJio can best afford to
pay to those who will be 'Compelled
to pay because they are hungry and
cold."

Representative Says His Personal
View Is That Two Men From
Oregon Are Sufficient.
SALEM. Or..- Sept. 13. (Special.)
That an Increase in the personnel of
the lower house of congress would
hamper rather than expedite the work
of that body was the assertion of C N.
McArthur, representative from the 3d
congressional district. In an address
at the Salem commercial club lunch
eon today.
Mr. McArthur said he was convincea
that the business of the lower branch
of congress could be handled by 300
members, although the recent census
would increase the number to 4S0.
Oregon, Mr. McArthur declared, prob
ably would gain one mem Der as a re
sult of the latte census, which would
cive the state four instead or three
representatives aa at present. His
personal view, said Mr. McArthur, was
that two members would be sufficient
for Oregon.
In law-making bodies having a
large number of members," Mr. Mc
Arthur said, "there always is a ten
dency for the control to fall into the
hands of a few. That ts not a proper
system of legislation for the reason
that all the people of the nation are
not represented. I contend that if the
personnel of the house were reduced
to 300 members, coupled with better
salaries and improved facilities, it
would be more representative and the
results would be far more effective.
"As in the state legislatures, the
work of congress is handled largely
by the committee and few of the
members have an opportunity to give
personal attention to all of the im
portant legislation oiterea ior ap
proval. " '
Representative McArthur also said
he was an advocate of simultaneous
election of the president. United States
senators and representatives and
would have all of them enter upon
their duties in January. Through this
improvement in the present system.
he said, the voters would be able to fix
party responsibility, thereby placing
the entire administration at the mercy
of the electorate in case it did not
make Rood.
Abolition of the short session of
congress and adoption of the budget
system provided In a bill now pend
ing before the senate-also were ad
vocated by Mr. McArthur.

From Tiny Pain Germ
First of all, get It firmly fixed In
your mind that all the liniments in

Rheumatism.
Medical scientists differ as to the
causes of every form of rheumatism,
but agrree that when caused by a tiny
disease germ, the only effective
method of treatment Is to attack the
disease at its source, and cleanse the
blood of its cause.
A very common form of rheuma
tism Is caused by millions of tiny
disease germs which infest the blood.
The one and only sensible treatment.
therefore, is one which cleanses the
blood of these germs, and routs them
entirely out of the circulation.
This is why S. S. S., the greatest
known blood purifier, is so successful
in the treatment of rheumatism. It
is a powerful cleanser of the blood
and will remove the disease germs
that cause your rheumatism, afford
