HARDING POPULAR, | ~ TOURIS SHOWING But Farmers’ Discontent Still | Leaves Political Effect of i Speeches in Doubt. Northerk’s Fiancee, Follies Dancer, | at Bedside in Hospital. BUFFALO, N. Y., June 28.—The earl of Northesk was reported on the way to recovery today after an operation for appendicitis at a Buffalo hospital. While the operation was performed Monday night, it was not known un- til yesterday that another untoward incident had occurred to interrupt the romance of Lord Northesk and Miss Jessica Brown, former follies dancer.

' THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 1923. . > \STREET LIGHTING | —B y GLUYAS WILLIAM BY DAVID LAWRENCE. EN ROUTE WITH PRESIDENT HARDING, June 28.—The first week of President Harding's western trav- els has demonstrated one thing above all others—he is personally popular and the people in the crowds show real affection for him. Politically—well, that's another matter. Kan Colorado and Wyo- ming were carried by the democrats in the elections last fall for governor in the first two states and for United States senator in the third. Has the situation changed much since then? Many good republicans who wish Mr. Harding the of political fortune think not and shake their heads omin- ously. The basic fact today is agrarian discontent. The farmer is still ag- grieved. The politicians liked very much the speech Mr. Harding made at Hutchinson, and thought it would make a deep impression on the farm- er mind. But of more lasting effect will be the s tories of the little ¢ Pre: fdent en the - 14 farmer, who ex plained in detail how wheat was sell- ing around 85 cents a bushel, when it costs more than a dollar to produce it. Debt Critical Point. After all, as more than one sage of the agricultural west expressed it, there isn't much hope for the future when the farmer is simply given more redits, indeed, more opportunity to g0 into debt. The Hutchinson speech was a recital of what had been done y the administration to furnish cred- What the tarmers want to know y om borrowing mon >s. And when the President an that problem or gets it solved he will have done wore to advance his political for- tunes than anything else he could possibly do in the west Mr, Harding knows that's the crux of the matter, because he said the other day: “Many people havi inclined to be skeptical of benefits which might follow the enactment of legislation to give the farmer a bet- ter system of credit. They have said the furmer needs better prices for his crops and live st rather than easier ways to borrow money. That is true, but these friends do not seem to understand that prices of crops and live stock are directly influenced credit facilities. 1 thoroughly that is needed is tair well know that the s to get out of debt rath- further into debt. But ¢ opinion that both thesc ends be much more quickly accom- plished through this new system of agricultural credits. Reeall Guaranteed Price. Unfortunately there Is no way to prove in the next sixteen months the merit of the President's conjecture. The farmers have been at a loss to understand how a federal govern- been ment which could for three years gharantee a price of $2 for a bushel of wheat can't do something like that now. The cry is still for a guaran- téed or stabilized price of wheat, for, ile_credits will enable the farmer old out for a certain length of tine, and will protect him in time of drougit, it will not remove the big fact that the farmer today gets ap- proximately one-third of what the censumer pays for the products of the farm. The other two-thirds goes 19 the railroads and the distributors of foodstuffs. This is the farmer talk today—it helped turn several states upside down politically last autumn. The President has just scratched the sur- face of the "agricultural problem. Probably until he came west he didn't know how serious it was, and while the farmers will be grateful for the credit systgm established by the fed- eral goverfment and the ald given them by the War Finance Corpora. tion, this will not satisfy them. Th prediction com from the republican leaders themselves, who hope, of course, for a steady improvement in rapublican stock between now and the 1924 election, but who know that unless farm prices are higher agricultural vote will be one of test and will be registered in (.. - of the Fords, the Brookharts, the La Yollettes and similar exponents of agrarian socialism. Eager About Rall Rates, Had the to President been able to promise a reduction in railroad freight rates, had he been able to present a comprehensible marketing seheme of national scope whereby the farmers could bargain collectively both | in the domestic and foreign markets, there would have been greater en- lRusmanl for Mr. Harding's addresses A the farm regions. The tariff, to which the President pointed with vride, is looked upon as having been | effective at a time when foreign prod- uets were flooaing America, but the price of farm products has neverthe- le#s gone steadily down and the farmer has had to pay dearly for his protection in the increased cost of #oods he buys for use on the farm. “The tariff alone isn't apt to keep the farmer in the ranks of regular re publicanism, because the acute situ- ation which produced the tariff has passed and the farmers are looking for a word of hope for the future. ‘The writer is convinced that before the next political campaign is in full swing the administration will have yecognized the necessity for some- thing much more definite in the way of farmer aid than credits, and that the next session of Congress will bring a renewal of debate about co- operative marketing, lower freight rates and measules to guarantee or stabilize the prices of farm products.

TOKIO, June 28— The situation brought about by the Chinese boy- cott of Japanese goods shipped to Shanghai, Chwansha and upper Yangtze river ports has improved so far as the protection of Japanese lives and property Is concerned, it was said at the foreign office today. Japan’s firm notes on the subject and the dispatch of Japanese de- stroyers apparently had a good ef- fegt, for Chinese officials have been restraining unruly elements effect- ively. However, the general situation in China 1s considered not to have im- proved. Foreign diplomats still are discussing the gquestion of Indemni- ties for the recemt Shantuns bandit outrage, as well as future protectior fop foreigners. No concrete propos ale have been made. It ix suggestec here that foreign control of the rall- rond police would be a breach of th- epfrit of the Washington agreement. 53 Northesk's first attempt to marry Miss Brown shortly after his arrival in this country six weeks ago was frustrated by the refusal of City Clerk Cruise of New York to issue a license because of a technicality in connec- tion with her divorce. Both Lord Northesk and his fiancee have de- clined to discuss their wedding plans since the earl's arrival in Buffalo. PRESIDENT S DEBY CLAIS ATIACKED Hull Says Democrats Made Much Better Record After War. Charging President Harding's claim that since 1920 the cost of the fed= eral government had been reduced more than one-half below the cost for 1919 and 1920, to be “grossly misleading, Chairman Hull of the democratic national committee, in a statement issued, goes on to say, in part: “In the first place, the democratic administration paid off $2,500,000,000 of the national debt during the eight- een months prior to March 4, 1921 or at the rate of $1.650.000,000 a year. The Harding administration then as- sumed control and during the past twenty-eight months has paid off only $1,600,000,000 of the national debt, or at the rate of $685,000,000 a vear, and which payments it proposes here- after to reduce to $500,000,000 a year. The full facts thus reveal an™ en- tirely different story. condly, as to the President's clalm of tax reductions, omitting the repeal of a few small miscellaneous taxes, the Harding administration, through its internal tax revision law, has only reduced taxes in the esti- mated amount of $600,000,000. These reductinns comprise the repeal of the remainder of the excess profits tax, $450.000,000; reduction of high income surtax rates, both resting upon the very rich, $61,500,000, and @ reduction o ‘the smaller income--taxpayers of $90,000,000. “It is true that the gpvernment rev- 2nues for 1920 were $5,722,0 0, whereas th fallen’ 000,000 for t < cear 1 reduction of $2,000,000,000. The total and profit taxes for 1920 were 00,000, and for 1923 they are $1,650,000,000. The fact is here re- vealed that mearly $1,800.000,000 of this tax reduction was not effected by statute, but by the republican in- dustrial panic of 1921 and 1922, Dur- ing the panic incomes were wiped out and taxes correspondingly wiped out. 0 one knows better than the President that it is the history of all wars, including the late civil war, that the peak of both government re- ceipts and expenditures has always been reached after the cessation of hostilitles. I regret, therefore, that the President feels obliged to at- tempt to bolster up the republican pretense of real and permanent re- duction of expenditures by undertak- ing to make a far-fetched compari- son of present-day expenditures. in part, with those of the period which embraced the maximum of war activ- ities and expenditures.” USE OF U.

SAN FRANCISCO Calif., June 28.— Control of children's diseases, the relative new science of pediatrics, has brought about one of the greatest drops ever noted In mortality rates and has constituted an unsurpassed accomplishment in the fleld of public health. This statement was made here yesterday by Dr. John A. Foote ot. Washington, D.

You a wonderful state and you people of Utah are truly ‘empire builders.’ Senator Smoot was telling me tod that the resources of Utah are s0 great and her industries so varied that, although a wall were built around the state shutting it off from the world, yet her people could live within and for themselves alone.

I like to tell you, for I believe it with my hewrt, that all of the republic is concerned in the common welfare of America. It is impossible to have a great country where one section prospers at the expense of another: we cannot have a fortunate country where one class of its citizenship is doing well while another is suf- fering.

Letters of Senator of 1846 Give Idea of Living Costs Then. From the New York Herald. P Under direction of the state o Maine Arthur J. Staples, editor of th Lewiston (Me.)

Fairfield served Maine as chief ex- Before that, from 1835 to 1838, he had been one of the state’s representatives In Congress, and on retiring from the governorship he was elected to the United States Senate. He served in that body until 1847. He died when fifty years old. The papers just published are the letters which the absent husband sent to his wife. Although living costs in Washington and Augusta as revealed in much detail in the letters them- selves seem low as compared with the staggering sums now eXxacted, they appear to have been too high, in view of his personal rosources and the meager salaries pald public officials in those days, for Fairfield to share with his wifo the years of his exile in state‘and national capi- tals. When he was in Washington, for instance, he notes that he paid no less than $9 a week for room rent with board included, and while he 'was governor and living in Augusta he paid $14 a week for the suite of rooms he occupied and in which he ‘held his formal receptions.

American Corn Marketed by Means | ! of the Hog, Report Shows. | | est items in the food supply of the American people. The average an- [nual per capita consumption for the |last five years was 67.3 pounds of pork and I2.5 pounds of lard, as com- pared with 60.9 pounds of beef. In several recent years the consumption of pork alone has exceeded that of all other meats combined. A study of the hog production in- dustry included in the 1922 yearbook of the Department of Agriculture shows that among the farm animals hogs are exceeded in numbers only by cattle, and in value only by eat- tle and horses. They are produced on three-fourths of the farms of the country and repersent over 10 per cent of the value of the nation's agri- cudtural production. Nearly two-thirds of the commer- eial production of pork is in the corn belt. The amount of corn marketed in the form of hogs varies annually from 30 to 40 per cent of the entire crop. Pork exports represent about 20 per cent of the country’s agricul- tural exports, and have held a higher place in foreign trade even since colo- nial days. e His Punishment. From Youth's Companion.
