i; i SPUDS VS. RAISINS
v! ; (Congressional Record)
I have here a little notation that 1
made In conversation with a man who
came here from an lrrigatod section In
Nebraska where they raise immense,
crops. Ho is a banker thero, and ho
told; me just yesterday that in his
vicinity one man had produced 20,000
bushels of potatoes. The man made a
mistake in raising potatoes this year.
He said that If that man had produced
sugar boets, while ho would not have
made much, lie would have made some
thing, but he produced 20,000 bushels
of potatoes. Ho did not have money
enough to harvost them. He hud to
borrow some money. The man .who
was l (talking with mo was one of tho
offlrtfrs of the bank In tho locality that
loanfi Jilm $2,0M(,on his potatoes. Thoy
were, jiarvesico caroruny ana stored in
a' cdfw, whorSMfiey are now. Ho Is
unable to soil them for a price that
will pay anything like the cost of pro
duction, .i.
. Mr.'-STANLEYi . Mr. President-
Mr. NORRIS. I yield to tho Sonator
from Kentucky.
; .Mr. 8TANLEY. Tho potato crop is
always uncertain. Ouo yoar it Is a
big crop and the next year It Is a little
crop,. The famines In Ireland are at
tributed to the capriclousuoss of this
crop. - Whero thero Is a full crop it will
produce more of ossontlnl foodstuffs to
the acre than any other crop known,
and the noxt year It Is liable to bo n
complete failure. In dormany thoy
have equalized this soasonnl chango by
turning potatoes into alcohol, which Is
under normal circumstances just as
Balable a commodity as gasoline.
. Does not the sonntor think that a
sane regulation of the manufacture
and sale ot alcohol would relieve tho
farmer very much and find a market
for tho potntoos? Millions pf gallons
of that alcohol could bo unod in color
ing everything we use, In driving auto
mobiles. In making automobile tires, In
600 different essential articles, but
that' business is practically at a stand
still on account of the arbitrary, Inde
fensible, and absurd rogulutlnns of tho
government In controlling the manu
facture nnd salo of alcohol.
Mr. NORRIS, Lot me say In answer
to the Senator thnt no legislation
would cure all the evils. The market
for potatoes. Ilka tho market for other
products, will go dp nnd down. Thero
is no question about that Neither is
thcre...any question but what the
charges for potatoes, as they travel
from tho man who produces them to
the mun who consumes , them, ..are
many,, many tlmos the original cost of i
the potatoes. ,. j ,,v . . ' j
Mr'STANLKY. 4Flvo or six years i
ago they were selling rnlsln grapes In
SVesno county for 1 com a )und. '
After the enactment of certain KRlsln-'
tlon here a great farm organizer of
the west statod thnt those grapes went I
nr to SO conts n pound.' (Irenes went I
up within six months on the Orentj
Lakes from $10 or $-0 a ton to $1-0
a ton, The difference Is this: The
home brewer is utilizing the grapes to
make beverage alcohol, and we can not
uso imtntocs to make industrial alco-'
iiol.
NEXT Momlny niht nt tho Pnpo Theatre tho Artists' Course
closes with a recital by Arthur Middlcton, the famous Metro
politan buritone.
The Mail-Tribuno has ured support of this series before for tho
Mile reason thnt it regards tho encouragement of the bettor class of
entertainment, in the nature of a public obligation, and it also re
gurds tho success of this course, us imperative, if Medford is to re
tain its reputation of artistic appreciation and is to enjoy tho finer
tilings of tho future, particularly in tho musical line.
A small group of Medford people have guaranteed this course,
nnd unless this final concert is well patronized they will not only
lose some money, but they will completely lose heart, and conclude
that this community simply doesn't want anything in tho musical
line, really worth while.
; Is that true? We are inclined to doubt it. Unfortunately the
backers of the series have been unable to afford any extensive ad-
xertisinff, and we believe public indifference has been largely due to
luck of information.
In an effort to overcome this handicap The Mail Tribune again
urges the people of this city who like music, who want to hear the
best artists' coming to the coast, to attend this recital by Mr. Middle
(on. Uy attending they will not only have an evening of genuine
enjoyment, but they will open the way for still finer musical attrac
tions in the future.
THE PRESIDENT'S VETO.
THE ASTONISHING thing is not that President Harding vetoed
the liursum pension bill, but that congress ever passed it, by
such an overwhelming majority.
- Such a bill allowing a widow or any woman who had "cohabited
for two years" with a veteran of the Mexican or Civil wars, a pen
sion of fifty dollars per month, would be indefensible at any time,
but today with conditions demanding rigid economy by tho govern
ment, such a proposal appears utterly iniquitous.
Nevertheless, no close student of political practice will be sur
prised if the measure is passed over the president's veto. The habit
of voting for pensions, indiscriminately, of shouting "aye" to any
inensurp that promises to bring in n few votes, regardless of its in
trinsic! merit, has become so ingrained in the professional politicians'
psychology, that courageous, conscientious statesmanship in con
gress lias long since been expected only from a politically negligible
minority. 'j(
Nevertheless there must bo scores of Civil aud Mexican war vete
rans who will commend the president for his courageous action. For
rightly viewed such a measure is an insult to their record and their
service.

DUBLIN, .Jan. 4. (By Associated
Tress). Joseph McGrath, the minister
of industry, commerce and labor, is
believed to owe his "life to a strange
error In Identification mude last night
when two youths gained an entrance
to the ministry on the pretext of hav
ing a mossago from a prominent lubor
lender.
Upon entering the room they point
ed revolvers at a man resembling the
minister who was there for a confer
ence with him, the Invaders sharply
ejaculating "you're McGrath!" A sec
ond glance showed the youths they
were mistaken In the identity of the
man they were covering, and quickly
pocketing their weapons, they turned
and fled, managing to escape pursuit.

A COMMON FAILING
ON FOOT James Kickshaw is polite, a Chesterfield is ho; ho.
always treats his neighbors right, he's thoughtful as can
he. If ho should step upon your corn, by some unhappy chance,
his breast by bitter pangs is torn, remorse is in his glance. I've
seen him ehnse for half a mile, upon n rodhot dny, to capture some
old fellow's tile tho wind had blown away, lie has his gracious
bows aud books on tap for young and old, his courtesy to either
sex is something to behold. Put when ho climbs aboard his bus,
and steps upon tho gas, ho is another sort of cuss, his charms of
milliner pass, llo knows tho traffic rules by heart, he knows
they're safe nhd sane, and yet ho seems to think it smart to treat
them with disdain. He cares no hoot for others' rights, he owns
the right of wayj he runs without his lamps o' nights, ho hogs
the road by day. Ho travels like a house afire, and as ho crosses
lowu lie seems to have a strong desire to run tho voters down.
And when he's parked his deadly van, and left it for tho night, he
is-n:;ain tho siniling"mnn, most thoughtful find polite. Ho gives
assistance to the lame, helps out tho human wreck, nnd bows to
girl and withered ilame until he sprains his neck.
