CARAWAY United State Senator From Arkansaa There are many Urates pressing: for solution in the present contest be tween the Ifcmocratie and the Repub lican Parties, but here I shall discuss only two. These two, however, are transcendant and should be decisive. They are clearly defined and well un derstood, and are: Do you wish an efficient or an in efficient government? Do you want an honest or corrupt government ? The voter, whether he will or not, must align himself on one side or the other of these. They are no longer academic but -are vitally real.

He died the veterans and their descendants of the following year. Since that time Mrs. Civil War and other wars somewhat Underwood had resided with her two commensurate with the increased cost qf living. The President after he had vetoed the bill was unable to secure but 12 out of 62 Republican Senators' votes to sustain this veto. The President, moved by the de mands of selfish interests, vetoed the soldiers' adjusted compensation bill, a measure aimed to do partial though tardy justice to the soldiers and sailors of the last great war. His party was pledged to this measure. However the same interests that con trol him in other matters, compelled him to veto it. After he had done so, he appealed to the Republican members of both Houses, but espe cially to those of the Senate, person ally to sustain his veto. Out of 52 Republican Senators he secured but 17 votes. Mr. Coolidge wa opposed to Jap anese exclusion in the recently passed immigration bill, although, paren thetically, it might be mentioned that he did not make known his opposition until after the California primary. He sought to have Congress leave un disturbed the gentleman's agreement between this country and Japan. In his appeal to Congress in this matter he was able to secure the votes of only two Republican Senators. Mr. Coolidge was opposed to the Investigations of the Federal depart ments by Congress. He sent a mes sage to the Senate in which was con veyed, what was clearly intended to be a threat, that should the Senate proceed with the investigations of the internal revenue unit, the Secre tary of the Treasury would resign and chaos follow. In interpreting this message to the Senate, the senior Sen ator from Indiana, Mr. Watson, a loyal Republican, naid that he had told the President and Mr. Mellon that an investigation of the prohibition unit was to follow and would reiiult in a saturnalia of scandal because they were enforcing the prohibition laws progressively, whatever that may mean. After n full discussion, only one Senator voted in accordance with the wishes of the l'resi.lent. No Influence in ('nnn;re It is, therefoVe, quite apparent that the President is without influence, without power to lead or to compel agreement In the prnt Congress. It was said, however, by the Repub- lican press lhat the country approved the President's position In all these iour or nve cium. nsw eiaaeee matters and condemned that of the are to be organized.

On the Republican road they will find the dostrine prevailing that it is right to so administer the gov ernment that some may be made rich and prosperious at the expense of their fellow citizens, hoping that their prosperity may filter down through all the masses.

He left the highway and was walking along the old Walker Mill road. When he was about a quarter of a mile from the highway he approached a bridge across a small stream.

After the money had been taken, one of the negroes suggested that Frazier ought to be killed. About that time Frazier grabbed the hand of the negro who was holding the gun on him and a scuffle for the gun en sued. The other negro struck at Frazier who tripped and fell during the scuffle. Frazier then rose from the ground and began to run. One of the negroes shot at him twice, one bullet going through the crown of Frazier's hat and the other passing near his head. One of the negroes gave chase and the race continued up an old road for about 150 yards when Frazier took to the woods. Shortly after getting in the woods Frazier's feet became entangled in a vine and he fell down a small hill on some rocks, the fall rendering him uncon scious. He came to his senses about five o'clock in the afternoon and was able to crawl out to the road.

Ute Avnlortnt I'-Tut " : Governor Cameron Morrison brought his campaign for the adoption of the state ports and water transportation to Randolph county last Friday niirht in an address at the court house filled i with Randolph county citizens.

Although the Governor consumed two hours in his presentation of the mer its and advantages of thej measure, he was listened to with close attention. Very little has been said about the proposed measure in this county and the people were anxious! to hear the views of the Governor on the matter, That the matter is not a partisan political one was-declared by Govern- i or raornson in uie statement, mat anvthin unon whieh Senator Sim- " j inuiin aim Juariuu xui,iari arts uicreeu . , , , . . 5 .uu. -un The Governor emphasfced that the United htates governmerttsts develop ing waterways on an immense scale. thatsit is a fixed policy of the Nation al Government and. that ft is not wise for North Carolina to pay heavily to develop the waterways, in other states by paying more federal taxes than all the other Southern States combined, and neglecting to partici pate in the1 development;, of her own unrivaled waterways. ' "It is not wise for the State of North Carolina," he said, "to neg lect longer to build docCs or wharves and warehouses and other terminal fa cilities which will place it Jin a position to share in heavy biennials appropria tions for the development "of the rivers and navigable waterways, of the Uni ted States. "Congress does not provide any where terminal facilities, it is up to the States or the cities in the States to do this. We cannot hope to stop the fixed policy of the United States Gov ernment, North Carolina is sure to continue to pay. We now pay more than the other States of the whole South combined. The questipiuis wil. we share ? i. ' ' "The Congress of theIjtted States in the rivers and harbors Dill passed in 1922 authorized the secretary of war even to withold appropriations unless public terminals were provided by the states or municipalities and jopen to all upon equal terms, so if we i I do not provide public terminals open! I to all upon equal terms we cannot' hope to share in the appropriations amounting to millions of dollars, which under the fixed policy of the United States government are sure to be made." j As evidence of the fact that there i was no tendency to change the policy of the government with reference I to expenditures for development of waterways, the governor read plat Iform declarations of the Democra tic, Republican and LaFollette i parties. All three of the parties make a clear cut declaration not i only of continuation of the policy I of developing the navigable water ways but pledged themselves to con struction of a canal from the Creat Lakes to the Atlantic and the Gulf of (Mexico. v "Is there any sense in North Car- amolina refusing longer to do the I things which the State is required to do under me Vjonstituiion and not share in this policy of the govern ment?" the Governor asked. He de clared there was not and he could not see how any business man who loved this State could hold out against the State adopting the meas ure before the people and putting itself in the position to have its naturally unrivaled waterways de veloped. He referred to the fact that Sen ator Simmons, "long the most Influ ential man of the Senate com mittee, corresponding to the riv ers and harbors committee of the House, declared in a public speech at Goldsboro that if this measure was adopted by North Carolina there would be no trouble to get further appropriations to deepen channels of navigable streams in North Carolina." The Governor declared that the Senators and delegation In Congress from the State upon showing that North Carolina paid more taxes than any of the other States In the Fed- era!

A COSTLY TARIFF The Republican campaign managers in previous campaigns have always stressed the tariff as a boon to the farmers of the country. This year, however, the farm organizations have been doing a little investigating them- ' selves and they find that for every dollar the agricultural producer gets from the "protection" on his products he pays about $5.00 in higher prices for the commodities he buys. The American Farm Bureau Feder ation, representing several millions of farmers on September 89 wrote Presi dent Coolidge a letter pointing out the disparity between the "protection" received by the farmer under the Fordney-McCumMr law and the amount taken from him in tariff tax es on his consumption.' "The surcharge in domestic prices due to over-production under the pres ent tariff law is generally accepted to be about $4 ,000 ,000,000 a year," said the Farm Bureau Federation to Presi dent Coolidge. 'If the farmers repre sent one-half the purchasing power of the country, it follow! that the pres ent law is costing the farmers about two billion dollars annually The benefits which they receive from the tariff is but a smalt proportion of this enormous sum.
