Well, let’s see what we can read in our daily paper and then agi tate folks’ breakfast with in the morning. ‘f Democrats clash in Senate— Carter Glass and Huey Long fight over banks.” Get your Senate gal ley seats now for the next four years, for there is going to be fun and amusement for everbody. Bring the kiddies. Arguing over banks! I didn’t know there was any left. “Debt issue flares up again in Paris.” It flared, but it didn’t “flare up” enough to do us any financial good. Even at a French state man’s salary. It will cost France more than $20,000,000 a year just to argue over it. “Japan takes another hunk of China.” That’s a daily headline we don’t pay any attention to any more. Japan’s alibis are the most interesting and unique thing about that war. Yours, i , f WILL, is, shown as she urged the crowd to demand “a correc tion df conditions so that farmers will not be dispossessed” CLOTURE RULE TO BLOCK HffifLfG Senator Glass Plans Drastic Move To off Louisianan’s.

After such a motion, a two-thirds vote of the Senate is required to in voke debate limitation. As he continued his filibuster against the bill, Long turned his fire on Eugene Meyer, governor of the Federal Reserve Board. Reducing Factory Prices To Price Level Os Farmer Seen As Near Impossible (This is the fifth of a series by Charles P. Stewart outlining the farm problem as Washington sees it.) By CHARLES P. STEWART Washington, Jan. is as easy to consider that the farmer is charg ed exorbitatn prices for everything he has to buy as that he gets ruinously low prices for everything he has to sell. It should help him, then, just as much to have the other fellows prices ■cut to his level as to have his prices boosted to the other fellow’s level. It is common talk that American factory products are on price stilts,; that prices of American agricultural products are on strictest terra firma. Why not knock the manufacturers’ stiits from under them? Senator Robert B. Howell of Ne braska chuckles sardonically at this suggestion. “Those stilts are concrete piles, on examination,’’ he answers* Budget Commission Will Ask Drastic Reductions In Cost Os The Schools 15 Percent Cut in Teachers’ Pay, and 22 Percent on Supervision To Be Recommended WQULD SAVE TOTAL -OF ABOUT $2,000,000 Will Also Ask Further Sal ary Cuts for All State Em ployees; Doubt If Pro gram Will Be Put Through Though Legislators Are ‘‘Economy Minded” Now n»|lv THnnatoH H*»r<*nn In the Sir Walter Hotel "V .» r n<cvr|) Vll.l Raleigh.

Beer Bill Is Nearer To Senate Washington, Jan. 12.—(AP)— The Senate Judiciary sub-committee con sidering changes in the House 3.2 per cent beer bill reported “progress” after a long session today, and Chair man Blaine, said it would be ready to vote on its revised measure tomor row. The committee, Blaine said, ordered another re-draft of some "tentative provisions,” designed to remove all doubt as to the bill’s constitutional ity and all that remains to be acted upon was “one alternative proposi tion,” “It is merely a matter of being selective as to language and not any controversy in the committee, the Wisconsin Republican added. This base of concrete piling, mainly in protective tariff form, but rein forced by various additional privileges is the foundation upon which Yan kee industry is built. Francis J. Clair, of the National League ;for Economic Stabilization, illuminatingly explains how the tariff benefits the manufacturer to the dis advantage of the farmer. Manufacturers are comparatively few in number and can get together, to agree upon output restrictions — not over-obvious ly, in defiance of anti-trust laws, but effectively. Hav ing agreed .they can quickly suspend and resume factory operations. Theq also can considerably stimulate de mand-sor 1 their goods, by advertising and changes in styles, patterns and models.
