' Here are the men who drifted 'one of the most gigantic and revolutionary grain selling plans in the
history cf the nation and which is to be put into operation by the farmers, if action taken at Chicago. 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. Hyde, of Okla
homa oVe of the leaders. Their plan was drafted after ready two years investigation. 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.

Uncle Sam's choice dtplomatic
plum the ambassadorship to the
Court of St. James (England) will
likely go to the man who was most
directly responsible for putting
Woodrow Wilson in the White
House. And his appointment will

American Review. 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."

whose suit had languished because
he simply hadn't the courage to
speak out. Finally, Mabel said, she

take decisive measures. Accordingly
the next time he called she pointed
to the carnation in his buttonhole
and said; "I'll give you a kiss for
that carnation." j
Whereupon the bashful suitor's
color outdid the carnation in brill-1
