Henry Ford and Moses Immortal? For How Long? (Copyright by King FwturM Syndicate, Inc.) '' Tears and laughter afford re lief. Loud laughter, violent weeping, cause the mind to rest and bring. temporary relief. There will be farm relief )au!f)iter in new 3 that railroads have consented to lower freight rates on wheat flour from the Middle AVest to the Atlantic. . The notion that farmers will get more for their whea't when flour mills pay lower freight bills will make the saddest far , mcr laugh. r Relief for flour manufactur ers is welcome. They are hav ing . a hard time with chain stores regulating their profits. But charging them 10 cents less, a barrel, for shipping flour will not cause them to give farmers 2 cents a bushel more for wheat.' Relief for farmers and for many others will come from generally increased prosperity, and especially from sharing na tional wealth more widely. . American farmers once sold corn for less than the, amount of the tariff now proposed. . It is certainly bolshevism, almost anarchy -to suggest it, but government ownership and exploitation, of. natural mpiiop .oJieX'will "eventually , "come, no matter how many newspapers the power gentlemen may buy. Wise ifinance, will, tell you "The' government does not know how to run business Only private enterprise can do that well." What' about Can ada? Sir George Trevelyan, member of the British parlia riiejit, gives us food for medita tion in these statements : 'A few years ago Canada had three railroads, privately own ed,. on- which gigantic sums of public and private capital had been spent. ' They paid 116 prof it, and ."there was a great likelihood that they Would close down." Trcvclvan says "Canada took over those railroads,' national ized them and in a couple of years they were beginning to pay and have paid ever since They arc being run successfully :nud there is not a try in Can ada who would dream of hand ing them back to private en terprise." . . - Business men that buy power n America are interested in an other .. part of Trevelyan V .Bfatemcnt:'-, ' ' '' '''in Toronto there is a great electrical undertaking which gets its power from the British ihulf of Niagara Falls. : .;. . "That undertaking belongs "lo the state of Ontario and is a nationalized concern. The oth er half of the Niagara Falls works a private enterprise on this side and pays good divi dends to those who have capital in it." . Now comes the jiotnt for those Tjho are familiar with Canada's prosperity and know that cheap power la the basin of Industrial pie ces. "Interesting thing Is that on th Ontario slile, the nationalized un dertaking pays a regular and large sum in proiits to the community. "Not only w. but ft gives llxhl and power tiOthe peonle of Onta rio at NOT LESS THAN f". THIRD OF THE PRICK THAT THE PRIVATE ENTERPKIHE CHARGES FOR IMIVT AND POWER IN AMERICA." M Power trust e.lUors will tis and say that Trevelyan does nm know Coatinatd on Fact roar). 13 AS Federal Prosecutor In Re ceptive Mood Klan Can didate In 1922 to Enter Primary and Attract The Women Voters Patter son Expected to Seek Re: Election.

BAND IS VICTOR OEBENTUP MB mon ' UVo BOARD MEMBER Mid-West Bloc and Demo--.crats Unite to Put Motion In Tariff Bill Think President Can Prevent Deadlock Farm Sections Active. WASHIN(lTON. May 1 1. (P A stiffening In the ranks of the senate group which favors the ex port debenture plan gave adminis tration leaders considerable con cern today ;is to what effect an attempt to Incorporate this pro posal Into the tariff bill might have, tihould it finally fall to be Included In the farm relief hill as a result of opositlon in the house. Plans have been formulated by tho debenture group in the senate to attempt to tack that proposal onto the tariff measure If the house decllueH to receive the sen ate farm bill after It passes. It has been suggested the house might take such action based on 1 the contention that the debenture section constitutes revenue legisla tion and therefore cannot constitu tionally be Initiated by the senate. Kepuhlican leaders have ac knowledged that a combination of democrats and middle western re publicans In the house ntlght pre .sent n formidable threat to their plans for restricting consideration of the tariff bill, but they still are of the opinion that such a coalition could not commit nd enough sup port to be actually dangerouH. The problem Is believed to have bocomo more acute hecause senti ment for the debenture plan In the senate is considered to have extended- rniher,,( than diminished atnro ' Ihat V proflosiUvnK- written1 into tho farm bill over tho objec tions of President Hoover. Adr ministration leaders have said that the plan, If offered as' a rider to tho tariff 111 If would receive two or throo more votes on the senate roll call than It did on being retained In the farm bill. Some members of congress noted today lhat, along with Information bolng circulated In tho agricultural sections of the country with re , Hpect to tho effect fo the debonture i ptun. a number of house repub Iciaus from those sections nre be-' lleved to be looking more favorably upon the proposal than they were earlier In the session. In addition the democrats have taken up the plan,- Representative Garner of Texas, the democratic leader, hav ing declared that. If the house Is given an opportunity to vote on the question, an almost solid demo cratic lineup will be presented In Us favor. However, the opinion of the ad ministration leaders is that even a strong coalition of democrats and middle western republicans would be offset In the house hy the sub stantial administration majority. They also look to President Hoover to take a hand In the negotiations and are hopeful that his influence will prove beneficial In preventing a serious deadlock. A showdown concerning deben tures between the house nnd sen ate Is expected to materialize next week nfler the senate passes the farm relief bill, and sends It over to the. house. Present Indications are that the house will refuse to accept It because It contains the debenture section and rf this should happen, a warm discussion over constitutional jurisdiction Is pre dicted. Honntor Watson of Indiana, (he republican leader, nnd other ad ministration senators, contend the house ought to accept tho farm bill, disagree to the senate's amendments and permit It to go to a conference of sennte nnd house members,. The republican lender has been conferring with house lea ile rs but so fur no agreement has been renched. Wntson intends to negotiate further over the week end nnd Is hopeful that the views of senate leaders may prevail. UPSTATE EDITOR CALLED BY DEATH PORTLAND, Ore., May 11. (fV) Fred L.
