April 6, docs rot go amiss. The picture is one of the "Farmers Committee of Seventeen" of the American Farm Bureau Federation. In the center is Chairman C. H. Gustafson, of Lincoln, Neb., and C. H.

It was recom mended to the Wheat and Corn Growers of the nation in Chicago this week for ratification. It is planned to create United States Grain Growers Inc. for national and export distribution of corn xnd wheat, nd financed bv the grain growers themselves. Herbert Hoover has endorsed the plan. To Pay National Debt Republican Leaders Intend to Use Billion Paid Houston to Lessening Taxes Washington, April 12. Prevention of a financial deficit which might be brought about by a continuance of the policy of the Wilson administra tion of paying off a billion dollars during the last year on the national debt will be one of the moves of the new administration. That this is a move for the benefit of the taxpayers may be gathered from the fact that without this huge payment on the national debt, taxes may be perceptibly diminished. Thus the excess profits taxes and the sur taxes, which have been passed on to the consumer until prices have been kited out of sight, will be removed or greatly reduced. It was provided by the last Con gress that the national debt shall be paid at the rate of 21,4 per cent of the aggregate amount of victory and liberty bonds outstanding on July 1, 1920, less an amount equal to the par amount of any obligations of for eign governments held by the United States on that date. This percentage amounts to $253,000,000 and the debt will by this means be paid in twenty-five years without great bur den to the country. Secretary of the Treasury Houston, however, just before he went out of office, said that "the war debt should be paid, not perpetuated, and the time to pay it is as soon as possible after the end of the war." In other words, in spite of the fact that the business depression which rfaturally followed heavy importations of for eign goods without any protective tariff to safeguard American produ cers, and in spite of the reasoning that it is better to let the entire next generation pay for the war from which it will benefit, the head of the Treasury in the Wilson administra tion is of the opinion that the debt should be paid off immediately and at enormous sacrifices. And vet it was this same Secretary of the treas ury, backed up by his chief, Presi dent Wilson, who permitted the na tions of Europe which had borrowed from us to forego their interest.

The noted edi tor supported President Harding in the recent campaign. Washington, April 12. Impeach ment proceedings will not be brought against Federal Judge Kenesaw M. Landis, in the new Congress if Chairman Andrew J. Volstead, of the House Committee on Judiciary can prevent it. He says : "From a careful investigation of the charges made against Judge Lan dis and the evidence adduced in their support, I believe the findings are unsupported and the recommendation made in the last Congress for fa ther investigation entirely unjustifi ed. The charge against the judge is that he entered into a certain con tract with various baseball associa tions. The findings that the act of entering upon this contract and of agreeing therein to function as an arbitrator between these baseball associations is inconsistent with a full and adequate performance of the duties of Judge Landis is rather indefinite. If it means that the du ties assumed by the judge will take s'o much of his time and energy a to interfere with his judicial duties, it rests on a mere assumption in sup port of which there is not the slight est testimony. The judge was first offered a salary of $50,000 a year. He agreed to take $42,500 and give $7,500 to a secretary furnished for the very purpose of relieving the judge from work that might interfere with his judicial duties."
