On* of the jobs for Mr. Roose-i vclt that is perhaps not the most pleasant thing he does, is to try to get along with Huey Long, which is something that no one sfc far has been able to do.

The popular “hen fruit" slipped from twenty-six to twentyenght cents two weeks ago to nine to thirteen cents Saturday and that's going too fast for the average producer to keep up with.

Usually they aro still marking time at this stage but this year they are putting the bills through in a manner that indicates they' mean business. You may’ not agree With every thing they are doing but we are sure you will like their' business-like, methods. it will he a crying shame if the beer bill in the Indiana legislature ruins the opportunity for service ‘ which that body has and there are' some digits that so much feeling! may be worked up, that the big i majorities may develop factions and that's serious. Don't let that 1 happen, members. Remember conditions are serious and the people are looking to you for actual relief. Mis. Fr&ukllu D.

i workable plans have been made to put through a program of con structive legislation that will help tak» this state out of the dumps, into which ■this good old commonwealth has fallen during the depression. From a glance along tho streets we are inclined to believe that a : lot of car owners must secure their : (license plates within the next week! or so. The limit as announced by I the secretary of state will be the j 31st and after that date the state, police are instructed to check on 1 those who haven't obeyed the law. | The license bureaus over the state ! will no doubt be busy places from now on until the first of next i ' month. \ Governor Roosevelt is looking America over and always has a reason. He doesn't just jog around I to see what he can see but goes with a definite purpose.

At a time when under-con-sumption is a malady which menaces our whole social structure) there can bo no justification for iaggravating the malady. “If we can not stabilize prices, o lay on a sales tax which strikes at those least able to pay is to acI eentuate the fall tn prices and disI courage and decretse purchasing i power W- are travelling a vicious' ■ jcircle toward economic collapse.

We have already I reached the point when, measures

against interest and taxes, the in- 1 ■come of the nation is about zero.” ; o l U. S. CONSULATE IS THREATENED I CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE jeither unduly alarmed, or were’i (seeking to demonstrate their zeal' for protecting Americans after the': raid of Japanese thugs or. the Sing-1: er machine building here last week. The raid grew out of the strike of' 15,000 native employes, and was not considered primarily an anti-Amer-ican demonstration. Police gave their warning to the consul Saturday after 150 strikers 1 and sympathizers clashed with police while eu route to demand an audience with the American manager of the Singer Company, Alvin K. Aurell. So far as could be learn- 1 ed. there had been no direct 1 threats against the consulate. ‘ The consul was told that the Jap- 1 anese labor federation, which is 1 (Supjwrting the strikers, met in the suburb of Kawasaki on Friday 1 and decided to hold demonstrations i at the consulate and at the Singer ■ Company's headquarters at the new 1 Grand Hotel. After nightfall, 500 i strikers appeared near the consul- I ate. but were dispersed The 145 arrested were taken track to jail I with their hands t'<*d behind their ; bucks. Police said refusal of the Singer management to consider conciliation on the grounds that I the strikers were attempting to seize the company's business was ieSpunsible for continued tension. The company said it had been forced to close several branches in Japan due to terroristic acts. Five thousand native employes demanded that no employes be discharged, hit employes be granted a retirement allowance and additional insurance, ami that they be allowed to form a union.

Ashidi said there remained little hope for a settlement of the. Man churian question. Ashida blamed the bitter antiJapanese feelings of the Chinese : to ( the “non-cons ructive policy" followed by the foreign minister. Failure of soviet Russia to ex- ■ tend recognition to the new state , of Manchoukuo, formed in Man- • chuna with Japanese aid. also was dtributed by the speaker to the . foreign minister's lack of consistency in his handling of foreign as- . tairs. Meanwhile, a government spokes- : man said that Japan would not be i '.(lnterred in her program in Manchoukuo by any league of Nations i recommendations for settlement of , Um Manchurian dispu <• with t liiu i The spikesman indicated Japan i was highly interested in knowing ■ whether the league would consider the impending Japanese occupation of Jehol province an act of w’ar If i it cauie after the league made its recommendations. He pointed out •

that the league had, so far, tacitly accepted the Japanese contention that there is no war in Manchuria, but that this attitude might change if a resolution were adopted blaming Japan for the Manchurian troubles. "In any event, the recommendations will not deter Japan, who is ' pledged to establish order in Jehol as a part of Manchoukuo," the i spokesman said. Advices from Geneva indicated that league circles would not be (greatly surprised if Japan gave notice of intention to quite the lea-1 gue.

SHARP OFCLINE INFARMWAGES GovernmentßcportShows Farm Wages Are Lowest In 34 Years Washington. Jan. 21 — (Special) - Farm wages are the lowest in llilrty-fuui years, ranging Rom an average of 40 cents a day with board in South Carolina and Georgia to $1.75 a day in Rhode 'lsland, according to the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, U. S. Department of Agriculture. The bureau has reports that some farm hands in ! North Central States are getting only board and lodging for their labor. The bureau's index of the general level of farm wage rates on January 1 74 per cent of the five-year pre-war average having declined 12 per cent since October 1, 1932, when the index was 84. whereas the average seasonal decrease during the preceding ten years has been I about 9.6 per cent The decline since h October 1 is attributed to increased supply of farm labor and decreased dqptand. The supply of farm labor on January 1 was 127.3 per cent of normal, but the demand on that date was only 53.8 per cent of normal. Actually there is no demand for additional hired hands because practically all farm labor jobs are filled. The bureau attributes the unprecedented low demand for hired hands primarily to the continued decline in prices of farm products. Farm operators are being compelled to do their own work, and those who have any cash resources are spending only what is unavoidable for the services of hired hands. The bureau notes that farm wage rates went down at a faster rate last year than the decline in industrial wages, farm wages having declined 24 per cent in 1932 whereas industrial wages dropped 10 per cent. > »— ♦ Test Your Knowledge Can you answer seven of these test question?

It is designed to end forever such sessions of congress as the fro now raging 'Mimultuosly as a hcngovcr from the elections of 1930 while new members elected lr t November wait at their hr me®, powerless to act upon thfii mandates from the voters. The new lame duck amendment will 1. -Convene newly elected com grosses on Jan. 3 following election instead of 13 months Itrier. 2. Abolsh the holdover short sessions wlWch bring back a previotis congress for three months work after a new congress has been elected. 3. Change the date of presiden- . tial intnignratlons from March 4 to Jan. 20. These provisions come into ■ force Oct. 15 under the terms of the amendment. This means that ■ Mr. Roosevelt's term will e 11( | i Jan. 20. 1937, Instead of March 4 of that year. His term will be . 43 days shorter, meaning a loss

of $10.954 from bls salary. Terms of senators and congressmen serving in the next eongress will be cut from March 4 back to Jan- 3. This will mean a reduction of 59 day’s, a loss of $’ 617 60 for each senator and congressman. One congressman used this argument in defending the carrying of his wife on his pavroll when his constituents began asking questions during bin campaign last year. This arrangement will make the 73rd congress just coming in unique in history It will have only one regular session. s Mr., Roosevelt is expected to call it | into extra session in April but its first regular session will be 1 n Jan 3. 1934. In the following November a new congress will lie elerted which will start to work two months later. Thus in the age of the airplane, when a man in a real hurry can get from one coast to the other in a day, the United States finally abandons the leisurely schedule of stage coach days. This change represents a victory in a 10-year WruHgJe by Sen. George W. Nsrris. Bepn., Neb. He first proposed it and it first pnSSled the senate in 1923. It passed the senate six times more be fore the house finally acted. Each time Republican leaders in the house smothered it. When Democrats took control in the house ithey put it through and Tt was submitted to the states last March Only two amendments have been ratified in shorter time. Norris was aiming directly at chaotic short sessions which, because of the March 4 deadline, encouraged filibustering, obsttruc tive tactics, and hasty, ill-consid-ered legislation. The Hoover-Roosevelt debt conference has just demonstrated m a striking way another advantage of the change now ordered. Had the lame duck amendment been in force. Mr. Roosevelt would have been inaugurated at the very hour he was sitting with President Hoover in the red room where the two were trying to work out some method of carrying on delicate debt negotiations while waiting for the new- sdniinistration to come into authority. In easy times this two months* gain which the new president will have does not appear so vital.
