He has not only reformed and turned his experience along useful channels, but has decided to i employ the knowledge of locks that I he gained behind prison bars in mak ing his fortune in an honest way, now that his sentence has been served. Recently a letter was received here from this former inmate stat ing that he was having great suc cess selling burglar-proof locks. So fast are his locks selling that he believes within a short time he will be rolling in wealth. An inquiry resulted, which brought forth that, while this par ticular man was not sent to the pen itentiary for safe picking, he man aged in his associations with other men while. here to gain information about safes and locks that later en abled him to manufacture a lock which has so far proved an obstacle to safe crackers. PAPER ClIEflCY FOOD ITS SPREADING (Bv Cliiraco Tribune Lase1 Wire.) WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. -18. The sword of progressivism was brandished and defiance to the ad ministration ehouted by Senator La Follette, Wisconsin, re-enthused "by the greatest vote he ever received and who returned to Washington today and issued a call in the name of the people's legislative service for a conference here Friday, Decem ber 1, of all progressive senators and representatives and progres sives recently elected for the or ganization of an active working group in congress. This conference will be followed the next day by an assemblage of influential progressive men and women of the country to discuss a programme of constructive policies and measures. Progressives, Senator La Follette announced, were advancing to wash ington to "translate the results of the elections into legislation." Third Party Talk Avoided. Asserting that the "time has now come for the organization of a well- definrti group, co-operating In sup port of accepted progressive prin ciples and policies," the militant Wisconsin senator declared that he was prepared to, discuss definite plans of action with other progres- eive members of the house and sen ate. He shied, however, at talk df a third party at this time, admit ting, however, the possibility of such a development. Senator La Follette proclaimed his intention to fight to the end the administration ship subsidy bill and proposed amendments to strengthen the Esch - Cummins transportation act. "I am near-sighted when it comes to looking for a third party," he said when asked if such course might be necessary to meet the political Situation. "No group of men getting together and adopting a. resolution can successfully launch a new party. When the time is ripe a new party may be born, but it will come through a resistless demand of the people." Farm Bloc Hostile to Harding. The call for the progressive con ference was signed by Senator La Follette as president, and George Huddleston, vice-president of the people's "legislative service." This call is in the form of a letter. Coincident with Senator La Fol lette'a announcement, Senator Cap per, Kansas, leader of the bi partisan farm bloc in the senate, an nounced the farm bloc's programme for the next two years. It is plainly hostile to te Harding administra tion. Mr. Capper put out a list of things, which, he says, the repub lican party must tio in order to insure its retention in power through the elections of 1924. It must pass legislation helpful to the farmers, repeal the guarantee sec tion of the Esch-Cummins act, pro vide for the adoption of a constitu tional amendment prohibiting tax exempt securities, "put the develop ment of the Muscle Shoals projects in the hands of Henry Ford, tax stock dividends, reduce freight charges, and make greater economies in the administration of govern ment." There is not a word about the tariff in the farm bloc programme. One of its most interesting features is a declaration that the republican party "must do whatever this na tion can do to promote European recovery and the restoration of a foreign market for the surplus products of our farms and factories." COMMUNISTS IX GERMANY EXPLOIT MISERY. Shops Plundered; Hungei-Mad People Destroy Food Xeeded to Alleviate Suffering. BT LARRT RUB. (Chicago Tribune Foreign News Service. Copyright, 1822, by the Chicago Tribune.) BERLIN, Nov. IS. Except for minor disturbances Coiogne and Dusseldorff are quiet, but new food riots are breaking out in other parts of the country which are seriously worrying the officials. The cost of living increased more than 250 per cent during the last month, ye wages increased only -25 per cent, putting many necessities beyond the reach of the average wage earner. What is making the situation more serious is the fact that the communists are exploiting the dis content. This, coupled with the appearances of many new Russian faces where traubles occur, gives rise to a suspicion that Moscow is doing everything to fulfill its pro phecy that a revolution is immi nent. The foreign office, however, has not been able so far to trace the renewed communistic activities to the bokhevik embassy here. Iti Frechen, near Cologne, besides plundering shops f6r 17,000,000 marks' worth of food and clothing, the rioters burned a big granary full of grain and a barn full of fodder. The destruction of this food, when there Is a scarcity, was clearly the work of reds who are trying to precipitate a revolution. New troubles have been reported at Siegburg. An American arriving from Co logne said that two days ago Ger man mounted - police with drawn sabers charged the hunger mad mobs. In some cases it was neces sary for the police to fire directly into the mobs to disperse them. British soldiers helped restore or der, but they only fired their rifles in the air. The average wage in Germany for the lowest class of labor is 19,000 marks (the value of the mark has varied recently from, 5000 to al most 10,000 to the dojlar) monthly. Clerks and stenographers get from 30,000 to 40,000 marks monthly. Last week has seen the follow ing rise in prices: A quart of milk from 80 to 170 marks and sub sidized bread from 60 to 300 marks a loaf. This price will be effective next week. For poor having bread cards, the market price will be 600 marks. A pound of bread was raised from 420 to 1000 marks. A glass of beer went up from 70 to 100 marks a glass. Coffee was raised from 1160 to 2000 marks a pound. CLUg FEDERATION MEETS Women Authorize Advance for Scholarship Fund.

REVENUE PROBLEM HARD Fnrther Taxation Declared to Be Almost Impossible, but Bud get Shortage Exists. BT WILLIAM BIRD. (Copyright, 1922, by The Oregonian.) PARIS, Nov. . 18.-KSpecial cable.) French sound money economists are seriously alarmed over the grow ing sentiment in favor of currency inflation as the only means o pre venting a financial crisis. The inflation agitation has beten carried on since the armistice by various groups of theorists who urge that issues of paper money really are a non-interest bearing govern ment loan, and therefore more ad vantageous than an interest-bearing bond. This propaganda has few ad herents. Now, however, the impos sibility of buckling the budget with the present taxes is inducing many powerful commercial groups to favor a paper issue more than a scheme of new taxation. These merchants point to Ger many's .apparent commercial advan tages through her" depreciated ex change, and suggest that inflation would, by depreciating the franc, help French manufacturers over American and other tariff walls. They say the recent fall of the franc already has had a marked effect in this direction. Money Printed, Report. Although an act . of parliament would be necessary before the Bank of France can issue any new paper. It is reported that in anticipation of just such legislation the bank is now speeding up Its presses and getting the money ready. This is unconfirmed but is widely believed. Ever since the German mark be gan its precipitous collapse the Bourse .has been very nervous and many are asking, will the franc tie next? Although the most influential and powerful financiers of France are fighting the inflationist agitation. the best informed observers admit that the solution will be difficult otherwise. ' Tax Problem Difficult.' Further taxation of France's enor mous agricultural wealth practically is impossible and taxes on business already has passed the point of pain and returns are dlmlnisning, No authoritative leader has yet tried to show how the dilemma of Inflation or repudiation of outstand ing obligations can be avoided; The situation is one which is com pelling the attention not alone of the government leaders, but of the moneyed class of France because a solution in the near future is im perative, i Veteran Coast Guard Retired.
