President's Veto of Farm
Relief Bill Arouses Ex
cited Comment.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
VKTO of the McNnry-Ilaugen farm
relief bill was so fully expected
that the only surprise was' caused by
ttoe extreme vigor aud strong words
of the President In expressing his dis
approval of the measure. "It em
bodies," sajd Mr. Coolidge, "a formi
dable array of perils for agriculture
which are all the more menacing be
cause of tbelr being, obscured in a
maze of ponderously futile bureau
cratic paraphernalia."
Tlie six "major weaknesses and
perils" of the bill the President listed
as follows:
1. Its attempted price-fixing fallacy.
2. The tax characteristics .of the
equalization fee.
.1. The widespread bureaucracy
which It would set up.
4. Its encouragement to profiteering
and wasteful" distribution by middle
men. ?
5. Its stimulation of overproduction.
?. Its aid to our foreign agricultural 1
competitors.
These features, the President said,
"by no means exhaust the list of fal !
lacious and Indeed dangerous aspects
of the bill, but they afford ample I
ground for its emphatic rejection."
Appended to the veto message was
the opinion of Attorney General Sar
geant which concluded: "Ifeel bound
to advise you that the act in question
li approved, would violate the Consti
tution of the United States, In that <
legislation having for its main purpose
the contrf 1- of the price of food In the -
Interest of tlie producer ts not author
ized by the Constitution; in that if
congress possessed the power to do the
things attempted by this act It could '
not delegate it as It is legislative in
character; In that it vests (n those nol
officers or agents of the United States
the power and duty of participating
in appointments to All places in the
serv(ce of tlie United States; in that
it contravenes the provisions of the
-Constitution against the taking of
property without dfe process of law."
It was agreed by all thut the Pres
ident's action wag consistent and
courageous, but there agreement
ceased. Opponents of the bill wete
gratified with the way in which be
had scotched a plan which tbey be
lieve would not work; and ita tup
porters. both in congress and among
the leaders of farm organizations,
were correspondingly indignant and
resented what tbey considered bis
want of sympathy for the farmers and
tack of knowledge of the subject.
Gov. Adam McMullen of Nebraska
Immediately issued a call for 100,000
furinerg to march oo tiie Republican
convention in Kansus City to demand
their rights. He declared the farmers
could exi>ect "do effective farm legis
lation from the present administra
tion or from any. candidate like
Hoover, whose only claim for recog
nition and whose only hope of secur
ing the Republican nomination Is
bused on his blind adherence to tlie
uiitlagrirultural attitude of the Chief
Executive."
Frank O. Lowden. when he learned
of tlie veto, raid only: "I have de
clared my position on the bill, and
that Ik that I am for It until some
thing is advanced that is better for
tlie farmer."
Tlie opinion of some prominent sup
porters of tlie messure. that the Pres
ident's action greatly endangered the
Republican party's chances In the
Middle West were not shared by edi
tors from that section who were at
tending s convention of the Inland
Dally Press association In Chicago
It was admitted, however, that the
veto probably would have far-reach
ing - political consequences, and the
Democratic politicians, were not no
ticeably displeased, thoogli they had
little to say for publication.

Texas Democrats administered a re
buff to Gov. Al Smith of New York j
when their convention voted that their -J
forty delegates in the Houston conven
tion should work and vote for a dry
platform and a dry candidate. Gov.
Dan Moody promoted thle "harmony"
program and defeated both the Smith
faction and the radical dry group that
wished to Instruct the delegation
against Smith by name. Moody was
elected chairman of the delegation,
and said afterward that as far as be
was concerned It never should vote
for the New Yorker. Smith adher
ents, however, believe the delegation
will shift to Al oa the second ballot
The Republican convention of Texas
was ^illl Into two,, one faction In

controversy must be settled in Kansas

Reduction ?t taxes, according to
the bill passed by the senate lust
week, will amount to $200,875,000,
which is only a tittle more thus $0,
000,000 above the aiaximuat reduction
first set by ('resident Coulldge and the
treasury and therefore would be ac
ceptable to the Chief Executive. But ,
it is nearly $85,000,000 below the total ;
la the bill as adopted by the bouse.
Just before the bill was passed the
setiute unexpectedly defeated the
utnendmeat for a graduated tax on
coriioratiens with incomes below $15,
OOO which was approved in the com
mittee ef the whole. By this action
the aggregate tax reduction was cut
down by $24,080,000. The vote on this
was a tie aod Vice President Dawes
voted in the negative.
In conference. Changes were agreed
upon which brought the aggregate re
duction up to about $223,000,000. The
conferees consented to the elimination
of the senate prevision for full public
ity of tax returns, which had been ob
jected to by the President.
Thursday evening the house adopted
a resolution fixing the adjournment
boor of the session at 5 p. ta., Tues
day, May 28.

Beatrice halleck at twenty
bad achieved without cooavloua
effort the distinction of being
the moat popular girl In town.
Just looking at ber one understood her
popularity with men4 but It was rath
er amazing to find she was just aa
much sought after by girls.
At present Beatrice possessed three
"best" girl friends; each firmly be
lieved she alone held a place In Bea's
heart that no one else could even look
Into. Beatrice, because above all
things she couldn't bear to hurt peo
ple, had let them think so. The
friendships had Just "happened" and
she hadn't the courage to tell any of
them that the devotion was one sided.
This beautiful morning she sat In
the living room of her bome and
poured her troubles Into the ever
ready ears of Jim Boyd.
"What' am I going to dor she
walled. "Why couldn't 1 have told
Ruth that Nora expects me to go to
India as a missionary with ber? Ruth
Is positively set on having me go to
New York to lead a terrifically Bo
hemian life with ber. It sounds thrill
ing, too. I can Just see that studio
In Greenwich Village and Ruth and I
In very sudden varieties of boyish
bobs, wearing futuristic smocks and
sandals and going without stockings."
Jim whistled In mild surprise. "Go
on," be said good-naturedly.
"And?and both of us slithering
gracefully around."
"I never beard of anyone "slithering
gracefully,"" Jim Interrupted disgust
edly.
"Slithering gracefully around," she
Insisted, "amid?"
"Amid, what?" he gasped.
"A tea table Qr red Chinese lacquer
and black lacquer chairs, with people
sitting on them-?languidly graceful,
interesting looking people."
"How awful!" he breathed.
"Jim Boyd, If you Interrupt again
I'll send you home," she said severely.
"All right, but get the agony over
with quickly," was the reply.
"Well, as I said before, the people
must be Interesting?long-haired mu
sicians, bow-tied artists, Charleston
dancers, actors and, and?a spring
poet Oh Jim, do you think you could
get me a spring poet?"
"Gosb, this is worse than the time
you ordered an alredale to be dellv-1
ered before night and nobody In town
owning anything but fox terriers and
'bulldogs."
"But I must have a spring poet
she Insisted. "He'd help so much
lend atmosphere?Jim, can't you get
me a spring poet?"
"Tea. yes," said Jim soothingly,
"though I should think a place like
the Village would supply Its own.
What should the old geeze- look
like?"
"Ob, I don't know," vaguely; "Just
Just a regular spring poet"
"Maybe a spring tonic would be
better." said Jim wisely. "Let's for
get poets and go play tennis" \
"But Jim, wouldn't It be wonder
ful to feel one bad been called to do
a great work for mankind In India?"
"What?" cried Jim In astonishment
"1 said," explained the girl gently,
"wouldn't It be wonderful to feel one
bad been called to do k great work
for mankind In India?"
"Who's been called?" asked Jim
suspiciously.
"I don't know?I think maybe I
have."
"Applesauce! How could you be
leading a Bohemian life In New lork
while you were teaching the heathen
In India?"
?that's Just It?how? Nora knows
that long ago I gave up all thought
of marriage, so onturally she expects
me to spend my declining years with
ber. Ruth expects the same, and to
morrow they're both coming to make
final arrangements for my future."
"Well, why the dickens don't you
tell one of them tbht she Isn't your
best friend?"
-Oh. I couldn't do that, you know.
They'd feel badly?really they would."
"I give op," said Jim. shaking his
bead. "Come on, lefe play tennis"
"Jim," she said, "I don't know why
you're no comforting, hut you are. al
though you never give me any advice
that'a worth taking."
"Well, there's nothing like being
frank, but some day I may have a
really bright suggestion. Baca you to
the courts 1"
"Jim." she gasped as they reached
the court a, "can't you picture me In
a dark gray dreae with high collar
and cuffs and my hair grown long and
pulled straight off my face and done
In a fiat knob at the bjck-wlth
about .100 little brown babies, teach
ing them their prayers and things?"
"No. I can't" aald Jim decidedly.
"I cant at an. Why. here coaMh Jean
and Donald. Well play doohlaa."

aside tod whispered:
"Uatan, dear; J bare the

darfttl schema. I nut talk It our
with you. Let's get rid of the boys
It's something we can devote oor
lives to."
"I'm sure It's a splendid scheme If
you thought of It." said Beatrice,
weakly... Silently she cursed herself
tor the pretty speeches which came
so readily to her lips at such times.
As soon as the boys were out of
hearing Jean turned to her friend
ekcltedly:
"Bea, did yoo ever raise chickens?"
"N-no?never," was the answer.
"Would you love to?"
' don't know," she faltered,
rbey re kind of cute when they are
little and furry."
"Oh, they're wonderful I There Is
nothing to compare with thero-ln all
stages." Jean clasped ber bands and
her eyes became wider and brighter
as though she were picturing to her
self millions of chickens of every con
ceivable color and breed."
Beatrice looked at ber friend In
mild-eyed astonishment Much as she
liked chickens on the rare occasions
when she saw them, she would not
have believed that any feathered crea
tures were capable of arousing so
much enthusiasm In the breast of
Jean, the calm and serene. Appar
ently it was worth while to cultivate
barnyard acquaintances.
"Where did you get to know chick

There are old walled gardens sur
rounding houses built lu the days of
