Carolinian Shows Up Alleged Saving to Government? Harding Anxious to Give A way Millions in Ship Subsidy Bill Washington. Sept. 25.?The Con gressional Record appearing today contains ft statement inserted hy Representative Byrnes, comparing appropriations by the Republican and Democratic administrations, and commenting upon the presi dent's, statement that the treasury faced a deficit. The statement, which will be used by the Demo cratic national committee, in addi tion to the comparison of >appro priaticns. declares: "The president in his message vetoing the bonus bill informed the country that if no additional appropriations wese authorized, the treasury faced a deficit for the year 1923, of $050.000,000. This statement. confirms The estimates repeatedly made by Democratic members of the appropriations committee familiar with the com mitments of the government, a ad proves the utter unreliability of the statements so frequently issued by Republican congressional lead ers claiming great reduction in ex penditures. With the measures now pending anci certain of passage providing additional appropriation", it is certain that the deficit which the president states now amounts to $650.000.000 will be increased to at least $850,000,000. the largest ce 'ficif ever incurred by the. treasury in time of peace. ?'The president's statement an nihilates the leaders .of his party in congress who have been declar ing that the receipts and expenses of the government have been. bal anced, and it is certain the govern ment must continue to borrow to meet the ordinary expenses of .the government. 'The Democratic party has eon-' tended that the receipts and expen ditures should be balanced by re ducing expenditures, not by . in creasing Taxation. But if This con gress in its exrravaganee was de termined to authorize these huge expenditures it should have pro vided the revenue with which to meet the expenditures. In vetoing the bonus bill the .president in sisted .that the congress not ap propriate for other purposes.. $650;' OOO^OOO more than the tot&l receipts of the government. "While authorizing these expen ditures resulting in a treasury d^ hcit.. congress repealed the excess profits tax from which source $450, 000,000 a year was received; re duced the surtaxes on the x higher incomes and repealed The Taxes on many special interesis. For iu sta-nce,- The manufacturers tax up on chewing gum was one of the taxes absorbed by the manufactur er and not passed cn the.consum er. Mmong those upon whom it was- levied was the Wrigley Chew ing Xium Company. For the year 1920? the' report of the comniis sioner of internal revenue shows there was collected in Illinois $561,772 from manufactures of chewing gum. Wrigley is the one large manufacturer in the stare. In The last campaign ,he was a large contributor to the Repub?-; can 'fund. It was a splendid in vestment for him. In the face of a deficit in the treasury, the congress repealed the tax upon chewing gum. Of the total-paid in Illi nois it is fair to assume Wrigley paid almost half a million dollar^. The repeal of .this tax saved him I that, amount. Tt is not surprising thru he recently am*.ounced that j he was subscribing $25.000 to the Republican campaign fund, and j woul. subscriber not her 525.000 ii needed. He ought to give more,; and probably w ill. "The annourvement is made, that congress will be railed in.ex ?ra session immediately after 'the election ""to pass a bill granting a bonus or subsidy to the shipowners, a bill which could not be passed prior to tin; election. Considera tion was postponed because of the ^discloiure that the administration] had announced a new^poliey?That ] the,Constitution Follows the Flag! ;?to the Three-mile Limit only. \ That beyond that limiT. the gov- ! ernment'through the. United States; Shipping Beard would engage in j the whiskey bu.-iness on ships fly- I ing the flag of the. United States, j Postponement was wise. The Amer- j ican people, regardless of their ; views on prohibition. Will want to ; know of Republican members of j congress why they appropriated money for certain employees to ar-1 rest the citizen found within Thej three-mile limit with a quart of ! whiskey in his possession, and at; the same time appropriated money j for the Shipping Board to enable j other employees of the government j to sell whiskey on ships of the | United Staves Shipping Board. ' when beyond the three-mile limi?. J to those fortunate enough to enjoy j the pleasures of European travel.) "The announcement that the: president will probably call an ex- ? tra session of congress immediate- i iy after the election indicates that ; he fears the result of the el^etioa. j He evidently believes that the peo ple have determined to e.'e<-t a! Democratic house. His -heart is i set upon the passage of the ship! subsidy bill. With justification he believes that the next house with i a Democratic majority will no; i pa?s a bill granting a bonus to thej ship owners, ai>d at the same time allow the government through the United Starrs Shipping Board to! continue in the whiskey business! as urged by Mr. Lasker. Tie, there-j fore, will an extra session for I consideration of the subsidy bill by the present congress after the] election, and before the considera tion of the appropriation hills ab sorbs the attention of fhe con-! gress. "But while the president is cor- j rect in believing that the subsidy ? bill will have more supporters in! this congress than it w>U have in any future congress, he can rest assured that if the people entrust jto the Democratic party the oon jtrol of the next house, an efficient land .wisely led Democratic major ity will give to him in all matters i promising- to promote the welfare [of the nation and its people, much ! greater cooperation than has been j accorded him by the present ineffi (cient and leaderless Republican [majority in the house of repro [ sentalives."

One of the greatest j objects a fanner should have in Iview is to build up his soil and ?make it more, fertile each \ear. [And this can be done in no other i way than by diversification, ima jtion of crops and by sowing le 'gu mi no us crops such as peas, vel jvet beans, burr clover, crimson j clover or vetch. In the next thirty j days either burr clover, crimson ?clover or vetch should be- sowed. iLand cannot be made rich by haul f.ing guano to the farm and putting jit on the land. If this could have Ibeen done, this country would have I been a rich, fertile country.

Now, I want to suggest a little ? practical and cheap way that any i.farmer can use to get these crops ? growing on his farm. 1 have tried ; these methods to get my land in ; oeulated and I know they will do | The-e crops should be sowed [ within the next 30 days or they 'ran be sown at once in your corn [fields or cotton fields. Take . a ; short gopher plow and run a ; shallow furrow in the middle, then j fasten a small chain about five fret long to the foot of the plow. ; Get a small cedar limb about I ' 1-2 feet long and fasten to the . other end of the chain?let it drag j-a the furrow to cover the seed i>o that the inoculation, bacteria I will not get killed by the sun. I You will have to drop these seed ; through a gunano funnel. Walk jjust behind the man who ?pen? the ; furrow and drop the seed and the j bush will come along in furrow land cover the seed. By this rneth i od, three pounds of seed will be jencngh to sow an a*_re of corn : land'and 3 1-2 pounds enough to j sow cotton land with rows three j feet wide. You can buy inoeula j tion through This office for 50 I cents per acre for less Than five ! acres, over five acres the price is j 40 cents per acre. I prefer vetch to either of the clovers and it is much easier to I get a stand. As stated "'above, most of the land is ton poor to :grow leguminous crops. This is true, but by this method, vetch sown in rows in January can be fertilized with aO pounds of nitrate of .soda to the acre and the vetch will run all over the land and will make a fine growth and then your land will be inoculated for all times to come. If you plant thi> same land in corn, plant in the vetch rows and see how much better corn you make than where you did not plant the vetch. It will be equal to 25 .pounds of fertilizer to the acre.. You can build your soils to a higher st.'ite of cultivation under, no other system and under boll weevil conditions you cannot af ford to buy guano, '.'row your j soi!3 rich and yon farmers will be prosperous.

The attorneys took the position that under the constitution the en banc court could not be called to gether for such a hearing and that the reversal was null and void; that the judgment of $25,000, ten tatively affirmed by a majority of the court sitting without the cir cuit judges, should stand. The position taken by the at torneys for their client was that the constitution. Article 5, Section 4. limited the appellate jurisdiction of the supreme court to cases in chancery: that in law.cases it has no appellate jurisdiction but . is constituted a court for the correc tion of errors of law.; that Article 5, Section 12, limits the convoca tion of the court en banc to the hearing of cases or questions be fore the supreme court in the exer cise of its original or appellate jurisdiction; -that consequently in reviewing judgments in law cases the supreme court does not exer cise its appellate jurisdiction and is not authorized to convoke the court en banc.
