THE HOUSTON POST: FRIDAY MORNING NOVEMBER 16 1923

1 WW Airs Grievanpes
f At New York Banquet
Reserve Bank Official
And Dakota Governor
:'Swap' Notes
Associated Press Report.
5 NEW OKK Nov. 15. The Amer
Iran V.anl met th American North-
- west tonight and there was a mutual
. explanation and airing of grievance
at tba fiftheenth annual banquet of
- ths New York State chamber of codi-
tierce. The chamber announced that
' k 'was determined to end what was
described uk a growing animosity to-
ward New York from other sections
of the country.
; Governor Uugivald Andersiu Ne-
tOi of North Dakota represented the
torthwest.
' V. P. 0. Harding former governor
of the federal reserve board repre-
sented the east. governor Nestos
said the majority of farmers in his
1 section irsented . being looked upon
nit "bolsbcvists" as much as he was
sure New York business men re-
sented being looked upon by those
same farmers as "'a bund of crooks
and high binders."
Reserve Helps Farmer.
Mr. Harding' address which was
in the nature of a reply to Governor
Kastos devoted considerable atten-
tion to the federal reserve system
which he said had benefited the farm-
erg more than any other inquiry de-
spite the governor's assertion that
farmers looked upon the New York
branch ot the bank as "existing for
no other purpose than to furnish
lucrative positions and palatial office
buildings for banker politicians at the
expense of the tax payers and to
lerve Wall street. . .
Governmental aid in stabilizing the
wheat market was a subject both
sneakers discussed. After pointing
out that farmers worked H to l'
hours a ilav to raise a wheat crop
which failed even t pay the cost of
production the Dakotan said they
realized a solution to their problem
was possible onlv through government
aid. When su li aid was refused n
Jie ground lliat it would constitute an
unsound and unwarranted exercise of
legislative power the noriliwesterners
Governor Nestos said remembered
that legislative aid was not conMdfred
unsound in the case of high protec-
tive tariffs for industry and a sub-
sidy for the merchant marine.
The farmers feels "that he is be-
ing deceived and diwri;iiir.ated
against and the resulting bitterness
furnishes much of the motive power
for his lecent political thought and
action."
Mr. Harding held that government
aid was unsound and that the solu-
tion to the farmers' problems was in
co-operative marketing plans.
Seif-Help First.
"Any plan to be effective in aiding
the fanner must be based upon the
fundamental principle of self-help
and of co-operation on the part of the
farmers themselves" he said. "No
legislation however sound and wise
can of itself produce a crop nor can
it control prices in the world. The
economic law of supply and demand
is inexorable and if production ex-
ceeds consumptive requirements
prices will decline. To restore a
proper balance either production must
be curtailed or means must be found
to increase consumption.
Co-operative marketing. Mr. Hard
ing said. I111S proven uwr.iin
many lines and "the faUure of some
-operative marketing associations
has cmpliasixH the importance of
observing correct principles and of
adopting the sound policies which
have been carried out by those which
have proved successful.
"All plans which involve govern-
lent pui chase of surplus crops price
'ixing and valorization are impracti-
1)1.- rnd fundamentally unsound; and
-II-. geney measures taken by the
iTiiiii.nl during the period when
is cncmicd in the greatest war of
'."II times cum not now be taken as
.recedent."
' e subject of political radical-
'' eMfr Nestos challeitire.1 as
"lbels" opinions which he said fad
iced ami" g leaders i;i ini'us-
iinntneroe and finance in the east
'in' the fanners of Minnesota and the
Uakotas were socialists. boMievisK
communists and red radicals ignoiant
barbarians socially and on the way to
the poor house financially.
Looking for Square Deal.
The "self constituted leaders of the
recent political upheaval." he de-
clared were radicals but did not lep-
reseut the rial sentiment of the farm-
ers who. he said were progressive
republicans uii.l democrats looking
'for a square deal.
"The spirit of the Northwest" he
continued "is sound and when the
storms now raging have quieted the
people of the KbsI will kuow that
la no pari of the 1'nion are the
economic ideals sounder and mow con-
ducive to the highest welfare of
the republic than upon the plains
of the great Northwest."
He asserted however that the so-
cialists and radicals gained control
when the farmers were embittered
orer economic developments in lOlti.
and. using discontent as a lever they
tried to make it appear they were
effecting a social and industrial revo-
lution of a sweeping nature. Now
he said the radicals were gone.
"Though our I'nited States senators
and a few others who preWnd to
apeak for us." he contained "would
have you believe that our farmers
favor recognition of soviet Itus
such is decidedlv not the case
you may rest assured that as 1
as the present attitude of the Itu
sian government continues to be
taaonistic to the home church and
private obligations our farmers will
not fna-or such recognition. The far
mers of our State believe in the
Christian religion and in the church
which is the organised expression
thereof and our Kussian settlers in
North Dakota' themselves are a re-
ligious people and resent the atti-
tude of Lenine -and Tretiky and their
associates in the homeland.
Senator Wrong.
"On this subject therefore our
senators do . Dot express the senti-
ment of our people and most .North
Dakotans deplore the fact that dur-
ing this year when agriculture is in
distress and when there has been
the greatest need of the counsel and
co-operation of every citisen who
understands and appreciates the prob-
lems and difficulties of the farmers
to aid in finding and applying the
wisest possible solution that instead
of staying at home and helping solve
these problems. Senator Ladd Baw
fit to spend the summer and fall in
helping the Russian autocracy solve
its problems.
"Mr. Harding did not criticize the
political situation in the Northwest
to any extent other than to say that
'the prevailing political sentiment of
a State is usually gauged by the
votes and utterances of its repre-
sentatives in our international confer-
ences." "Some of these representatives
he continued "were loud and enthu-
siastic critics' of the federal reserve
system.
"No section of the country has
received more distinct benefits from
the operation of the federal reserve
system than have our great agri-
cultural districts but due to persis-
tent efforts on the part of some to
discredit the system and those re-
sponsible for its administration
there is. unfortunately as Governor
Nestos has pointed out a sentiment
of resentment and antagonism toward
it. which is most pronounced in the
sections which have been its great-
est beneficiaries. This sentiment
however is subsiding as is bound to
he the case when people will take
the pains to learn the real facts."
COURT PUZZLED
IK KLAN OUSTER
Associated Tress Report.
TOl'KKA. Kan. Nov. 15. The two
principal questions to be argued by
attorneys for the Ku Klux Klan and
for the State in the State's suit
to oust the klan because it is not
chartered to operate in Kausas were
propounded by Supreme Court Com-
missioner H. M. Brewster at tin
conclusion of taking of testimony in
the case late today. The questions
are:
What constitutes doing business in
this State in the meaning of the law ?
If the klan is proved to be an elee-
mosynary and patriotic organization
will "it tien have to have permission
to do business in Kansas and if so in
what way could such permission be ob
tained?
Commissioner Brewster cited an
opinion handed down some time ago by
Chief Justice W. A. Johnston of the
State supreme court holding in ef-
fect that under the charter laws of
Kansas a charitable organization can
not obtain permission nor be re-
strained from operating in the State.
He also pointed out that testimony had
revealed the fact that the local klans
of Kansas are subordinate bodies and
act as ordering agents for the Atlanta
coloration which manufactures the
klnh robes.
One of the points the State seeks
to prove is that the klan is organized
for profit in dues collected and sab-
ot robes to members and that there-
fore it is not a charitable order.
The arguments will begin at 10 p. in.
Thursday. November 2'J the commis-
sioner announced.

tion to the post office department at

COLLECTIONS FROM
LIQUIDATING BANKS
MAKE NEW RECORD
Austin Bureau
Tha Houston Pott.
AUSTIN Texas Nov. 15. Collec-
tions from banks in process in liqui-
dation for the month of October were
$201894 which exceeds by $351)51
collections for any month during the
history of the department. This rep-
resents collections from 57 banks in
charge of 34 special agents and three
liquidation examiners. :j
This large collection is due in a
measure to an intensive campaign
put on by the State banking depart-
ment this fall. It is intended to pro-
secute this campaign to the fullest ex-
tent until February 1 191M.
Onlv one time during the If story of
the liquidation department has the
collections ever bee greater than
during the month of September which
were much less than during the month
of October. '
This collected added to those sl-
ready made will moan substantial divi-
dends to the guaranty fund banks and
to the general creditors of the banks
in liquidation.
J. E. Roberts general liquidating
agent in speaking of the collections
for the month of October said that it
is a remarkable showing as some of
the banks have been in process of
liquidation for more than two years.
He alse stated it showed that a wave
of general prosperity existed all over
Hie State because if collections are
good it means the people are prosper-
ous or they would not be able to liqui-
date the paper held by the banks.
