of Industry About Agri

CHICAGO. March 7. (AP)
Speaking Before" an . audience of
captains of industry and com
merce, railroad executives, bank
ers and other business "man. Sen
ator Smith W. Brookhart of Iowa
made a fervid appeal to rescue the
farmer fromliis plight and de
clared Inferfentially that some of
his hearers were ' allied with the
force'' responsible for agrieul
tureVs condition at the City club
here today.
, senator urooanarc rippea up
the federal reserve banking Sys
tem, labelling it "a money trust
operated' to raise interest Tates in
agricultural centers and lower
them for speculative interests in
Wall street," and declared it and
the process of deflation instituted
"by It were responsible tor 65 per
cent of the farmers' troubles. Ten
per cent he blamed on high rail
way rates and the other 25 per
cent on higher prices he said the
farm is forced to pay for goods
because of the tariff and patent
laws.
"Farmers, constituttf bne third
of pur population," they own one
fifth of all gs6 property, yet they
receive uir one tenth of the total
national lacoine," Senator Brook
firt said. ! "The farmer, must be
eiwn relief by legislation. The
government has protected the rail
Toads by law, guaranteeing their
Income,. It has given a monopoly
to the . banks of the federal re
serve system by law. The govern
ment has protected the manufac
turing industries by the tariff
law. The' government owes it to
the farmers 'to bring by law the
prices (or farm products to a level
equal to those of other industries.
There never before was such
& panic in agriculture as there is
today. A million and a half of
our six million farmers have lost
their homes and another million
and a half are on the verge of
losing theirs, due to the economic
squeezing to which they have been
subjected.'

have an extra railroad on hand.
We got in there by evening and on

sion is a superb railroad. You go
up the grade and cross the divide
(4480 feet elevation.) at 30 miles
an hour with two engines,, saving
about 70 miles as against the Sls-
kiyous, and a lower climb trains
ut of Ashland taking sometimes
three engines. But the Cascade
grades are easier, and the dip in
to the Weed Basin near Shasta is
avoided by a new track of five
miles on a higher level rim of
Mt. Shasta, and joining the main
O. & C. line at Black Butte. The
Natron cut-off avoids snow slides
by five miles of tunnels.
San Francisco gets rain storms,
but is never flooded, has no rivers
affected by rains, the Sacremento
and its branches being a huge tide
estuary. In Oregon and California
one remarks of the great relief
felt at the adjournment of the leg
islatures. If they had stayed in
session a month longer taxes
would have been doubled once
more and so many laws regulating
farms and industries would have
been enacted that profitable Truit
growing would be nearly impos
sible. A federal regulation of
fruit packing was enacted requir
ing use of an invention to wipe
apples aand pears of sprays. A
woman orchardist of Jackson
county says the mechanical regula
tion, pear-wiper cost apple and
Medford fruit growers thousands
of dallars. The woman is threat
ening to run for the legislature
next time on a platform of no
more special fruit regulations for
Oregon. When it comes to getting
destructive regulations and espec
ial rules or privileges set aside,
the people of California have it all
over the rest of them, as for in
stance the permits to let every
family make and keep for their
own use two hundred gallons of
wine a year. This permit does
away with prohibition in the Gold
en State. The same is done with
apple cider in Maine. At the
Bohemian club I met General
Hunter Liggett who was in com
mand of the American Armies in
the World war. He is said to be at
work on his personal memoirs
over-seas. Tney may appear m
the Saturday Evening Post, it be
ne known at least that he has
been at work the past few months
with a sub-editor of that great
weekly at his home in San Fran

favorably known among the en
listed five millions who went from
this country to do their bit on the

Albert Brownlee, . ex-convict
who was arrested at Walla Walla
yesterday in connection with the
robbery and wounding of a pool
hall proprietor at Veneta, Lano
county, recently, is well known to
Oregon state penitentiary offici
als.
Brownlee was received at th:
penitentiary April 2$,-1923, from
Deschutes county to serve a term
of riot more than eight years for a
statutory offense. He escaped
from the prison stables-May i
1923, but later was captured and
returned to the institution.
Brownlee was paroled from the
prison' a few months ago.
A member of a posse sent in
pursuit of Brownlee and his com
panions following the pool hall
robbery was shot and fatally
wounded.
As a result of this shooting
Brownlee probably will be tried
on a charge of first degree mur
der. Prison officials said Brown
lee was considered a dangerou3
character.

proprietor, William Maddaugh, a

have been his accomplice, will not

part of his life. He can spend the
rest of his life telling experiences
and telling recollections of the
story of the war which has not
yet been told and have something
interesting to tell in every line he
writes.
It will be -a great gift to the
American people to have this
made up with a free hand by a
life-long soldier who made a fine
record in three wars besides the
army post fighting for about
thirty years whenever there was
trouble among the Indians any
where in Our Country, from the
Candaian to the Mexican borders.
Liggett's narrative will be as in
teresting as the Personal Memoirs
of General Grant on the Civil War
from 1860 to 1865. He is a man
of the same modest and retiring
disposition and it has taken great
efforts on the part of his friends
to persuade him to compile his
personal experiences and recollections.

man fell from the tower, receiving
