Hope to Hear Policies to Ease Their Burdens. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. When President Harding invades the great farming regicns of the - | west this weck he will find himselt in a discontented country. The rural times are still out of joint. The farmer finds “normaley” coming back to him more slowly than to other tran:hes of the people. He clamors for relief in the realms of transpor- tation and taxation. He wants Henry Ford to have Muscle Shoals. On all these pcints the west awalts the President's spoeches in a state of high -expectancy. The situation { which Mr. Harding is about to con- front beyond the Mississippi is epit- omized by Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas, leadcr of the farm bloc, in a special interview with this writer. “While somc | rceded,” says | occurred in "t the situ improvement, long ator Capper, “has midwest agricultural 1egion, on from the farm- to be desired. The surge of prosper- ity in industry has to a large ex Ieft the greatest industry of all I affected. It is true that unemploy- ment is not an agricultural problem, tut employment at less than living wages prevails in many cause prices of farm products still §|are far too low In comparison with prices of other commoditics.

Readjustment that has put the ma Jority of industrial plants on a divi- i dend-paying basis has not been so | kind to farmers, and many of them using current income to write off that resulted from the disas- slump in values in 1920 and farmers who are out of | who are diversifying their efforts gradually are bettering their position. but those in debt still are conditions driving farmers out of old-line political parties into the arms of radicals and j radical organization Senator Cap- Not Turned Red. “Farmers have been severely—in fact, outrageously—punished during| [ the last three he replied. “but | they have not turned red. Farmers | are not wreckers or revolutionists. | They don’t want to overthrow an thing. They do want to reform cer- tain ‘things which, it is evident, are | working an injustice on them. “The demand for lower transporta tion costs springs from the grass roots. It is universal in farming ' districts because it is only simple | justice that these rates should be | fowered.

They feel that when railroads are | earning so much and farmers so little, | the roads are getting too much for | the service they perform. Railroads | today are glving pretty good service —something the farmer naturally does | not wish to give up—but at the same {time their surplus accounts are swelling. .The farmer is averse to supplying the wherewithal to make { melons for the delectation of securfty owners so long as his income remains S0 mnear the same as his economical outgo. Freight Absorbs Profits, “So many instances of where the freight ch a shipment of farm | products have consumed all the profits | of the sale have come to light that the farmer is not without the most convincing of arguments to back up his demand that rail tariffs be re-| duced.” . “What does’ the farming element in the way of remedial meas- Capper was asked to ex- t is certain in the Sixty-eighth Congress,” he said, “to demand modi fication of section 15-A of the Esch- Cummins transportation act, with a view to reduction of freight rates.

Dissatisfaction was caused by the lowering of these surtaxes recently, because 2 heavier burden was shift- ed to shoulders least able to bear it { Any reduction in taxation that ma: | be possible should benefit those least |able to pay, persons whose incomes are $10,000 or less a year.

The farmer isn't asking for charity from Congress, and doesn't want it. All he asks for is legislation that gives him a chance to help himself equal to the chance other industry long has enjoyed. “Farmers feel that industry or business, for its own interest, if noth- ing else, should be concerned that the ‘spread’ between prices of farm products and of other commodities should be reduced. They cannot be- lieve that Industry desires to see the standard of living on the farm re- duced, but it inevitably will be re- duced upless agriculture soon comes closer to getting a square deal than it has for three years past. “The farmer much prefers to buy than to stay out of the market. With fair profits on his production he al- | ways has been and always will be a | mnost liberal purchaser of every sort of merchandise turned out by fac- torfes.” { (Copyright, 1923.) i RESIGNS HER POST) By the Associated Press, LONDON, June 22.—In consequence of the Bulgarian revolution and the death of her old chief, former Pre- mier Stamboulisky, Miss Nadeja Stanciof today resigned her position | as first secretary of the Bulgarian legation in Washington, whither she was soon to proceed. Miss Stanclof enjoyed the unique position of being - Europe’s only woman diplomat. She speaks eight forelgn languages and Stamboulisky, whose interpreter she was at all ln»\ ternational conferences, used to say she could keep secrets in them all. She probably will engage in jour- nalism in the United States or Great Britain Miss Stanciof's father, Dr. Dimitri Stanclof, is continuing as chief Bul- garan delegate at the Lausanne con- all over the country.

Chairman Hull declared that, “conceding the very maximum claims of economy as made reductions of regular expenditures is surprisingly small in the light of the opportunities for retgenchment.” “While cheerfully” extending due credit to the administration,” id Mr. Hull, “for such few and small econo- mies as it may have achieved through the budget during this fiscal vear, I submit that any intimation that any | permanent reduction of expenditures made constitutes more than a very minor factor in creating this trea: ury surplus, is grossiy misleading. The basis for all the talk of the past twelve months about a deflclt was the fact that on July 1, 1922, the Treasury Department estimat receipts at $3.073.000,000, or 000,000 below the revised estimated receipts of $3,930,000.0000 made by the Treasury on_last Monday. “L am not criticising the Treasury for its mistake in forecasting receipts | s0 low on July 1, 1922, but it is mani- festly unfair to the public for the Treasury to avail itself of this mi take in order to emphasize and exaj rate the significance of a Tre: FLAT TIRE?
