MARGIN IS TOO LARGE III CONSUMERS' PRICE AND FARMERS-DAVIS That there is too Rreat a difference between the prices which the farmer receives for the food he produces and the final price which the city man pays for that food, was asserted yesterday by Theodore Davis, County

Chairman of the Farm Federation, at

his farm near Greensfork. Mr. Davis had just come in from breaking stalks in one of his corn

fields. "I like to get everything done

Juring the winter that I can," he Bald, "then spring work doesn't rush me."

Mr. Davis explained: "At present

our grain may be shipped a long dls

tance. even as far as Minneapolis, to

be milled and the flour or meal must be shipped all the way'back and sold at a price to cover hauling charges both ways. The farmer must pay on a similar basis for many of his mill

feeds. With livestock the same condition prevails. The hauling charges are especially high since the rate ad- . vances." Could Be Done at Home. The county chairman pointed out that much of the manufacture of raw farm products into finished food products could be done in the local communities, saving transportation and furnlbhing employment to local labor. "This would mean lower prices to the consumer,' he said, Asked if the Federation was planning to accomplish this soon, he answered: "No. we are doing one thing sit a time and just at present we are working on a plan to save money for ourselves. The state organization has arranged to buy various farm supplies, such as fertilizers, in quantity at a decided savins, and we are concentrating on getting a representative to handle thein In each community." To Protect Consumers Mr. Davis emphasized the attitude the Federation is taking in safeguarding the consumers' interests. "The Mate organization," he said, "is continually working to bring the producer and consumer closer together and cut out the men who trade in our products for profit only, without performing any useful service. Of course that will not be profitable to us. but will make things cheaper to the city man. "We do not expect higher prices at the consumers' expense," he said in conclusion, "but we feel that a charge of nine cents for distributing milk for instance, when the dairyman is only paid Fix cents for it, provides too great difference. The consumer has to pay more than he should."

The plan of Purdue university to provide a separate tax levy for the agrcultural experiment station at Purdue will if carried out solve a knotty problem for Purdue. There has always been some rivalry between the engineering constituency of Purdue and the Agricultural constituency as to which was receiving more favors from the university, and about which department was getting the greater support from the state. Separate Fund Considered. A separate fund for the agricultural

department would remove this department as a claimant for other Btate funds and would leave the way open to the engineering department. The idea of a separate fund is said to have originated with President Stone of Turdue and is regarded as a happy Idea because it is believed It will be supported by both the engineering and Agricultural alumni of the school. It is said that an attempt was made some time ago to get a resolution providing for a separate levy through the meeting of the Indiana Farmers' Fedoration but that it was blocked by a minority. The separate levy of one

cent which is proposed would be in addition to the proposed seven-cent levy for the three educational institutions Indiana university, Purdue univers

ity proper and the two state normal j

schools.

PRESENCE OF

(Continued from Page One) fire marshal of the state. They say that on the occasion of the recent legislative conference in Indianapolis Swain and Styner were' much together and that it was generally understood that Swain who was then seeking the place of assistant secretary of the senate was favorable to the election of Styner as secretary. There was some talk today of settling the secretary contest by bringing about the selection of Julian Hogate, of Danville. Hogate, who is the editor of a paper has been active in Republican politics for a good many years. Several years ago he held the position of secretary of the senate for one or two sessions and made a good record. The starting of the movement for HoKate was looked on with considerable interest and it was said that if he would consent to take the place he would have substantial backing. Gossip Picks Beardsley. There was also considerable gossip today about the selection of Senator A. H. Beardsley of Elkhart as presi-

dent protem of the senate. Indications are that the race between James Nejdl of Lake county and Oscar Itatts of Paoli for this position is close. It is said that some of the Republicans believe it would not be wise to put a Lake county man in the position. They would not object to the election of Ratts but they fear that if it is a straightout contest beween Ratts and Nejdl, Nejdl will be elected. The talk persists that Nejdl has pledged more than enough votes to elect him. Beardsley has served previously in the senate and has achieved a position of leadership. It was he who at the legislative conference recently proposed some new rules for the legislature one of which would limit the introduction of bills to the first hald of the session. His proposed rules were considered at the legislative conference but were not adopted. Another rule he proposes would require any legislator introducing a bill to present with it an abstract of its contents and a statement outlining the purpose of the measure. It is said that Senator Beardsley has not given up hope of having the rules adopted at least in a modified form. Wright as Doorkeeper. The talk now seems to be in favor of the selection of Frank Wright, of Lynn, as principal doorkeeper of the house. Wright formerly was a member of the legislature and introduced the Indiana bone dry bill. John Thiel of Lake county also seeks the place of principal doorkeeper. With Otto

COLUMBUS Contending that prohibition of the liquor traffic has reduced crime, tne Ohio Legislative Reorganization committee is recommending that the state hold in, abeyance the project for a new farm prison, now under construction. Against this recommendation, Warden Preston E. Thomas reports receipts of new prisoners at the Ohio penitentiary to be "extraordinary heavy." Representative John W. Gorrell, of Carroll county, militant prohibitionist and moralist, is framing legislation to abolish all agencies of clemency to criminals, so as to check the "epidemic of crime." AKRON Prosecutor-elect, Arthur W. Doyle, has announced that charges made by the Akron Church Federation, that police are protecting dens of vice In the city, "are too serious to be passed by." It is expected that the matter will be investigated by the next grand jury. It is said that detectives engaged by the church federation have "uncovered many cases of illegal liquor selling.
