PACE TWO
Triple-Alliance Signs
Anti-Communist Treaty
Italy joined Japan and Germany
Saturday in an accord against
conununism which their protocol
declared "continues to place the
civilized world" in the constant
danger of war
The protocol stipulled that
Italy be considered an original
latory of 'he nearly year-old
Ce:rman-Japanese pact against the
Communist International
The protocol was a short docu-
ment giving in a 150-word intro-
ductory Litateinent the three pow-
ers' reasonm for the agreement
The introduction declared that
only by close collaboration of "all !
suites interested in maintaining !
peace" could the war allege- be
removed
Four brief articles were append-1
erl alter the introductory state-
merit setting forth the clauses:
1—Italy enters the anti-Comintern
agreement of Nov 11 1936
2—Italy will be consalered as a
signatory of the original accord I
3—The protocol is made an in-
tegral part of the previous ac-
cord and its supplementary pro-
tocol 4—The protocol is done in trip-
licate in Rome
The new accord wam written in
Italian German and Japanese
The broadened accord contained
no military clauses
After the ceremony of signing
the triplicate pact at PalaZZO Chi-
the three powers representa-
tives went to Palazzo Venezia to
give Premier Musmolini formal not-
ification But nothing daunted the Com-
midst International slapped back'
at the "Triple Alliance" on the
eve of the twentieth anniversary
of the Bolshevist rise to power in
Russia Said the Russian War
Commissar in him anniversary or-
ders to the red army:
"Hysterical fasictm without
cause often threaten boishevists
and red Moscow and boast of
their strength and courage That
im one of the manifestations of
the raging but impotent fury of
our class enemies" he said "We
have replied and will reply again:
We do not want war but we do
not fear war and are ready for
war"
Holiday Spirit Prevails
Soviet citizens danced and
drank on the eve of their great
national holiday Red banners with
portraits of Lenin Stalin and
other communist leaders looked
down on the people who five
weeks hence will elect a new HU-
preme soviet by direct secret bal-
lot for the first time
But the Nazi Fascists and
Nipponese mean business More
over they mean war provided of
course the three great Democrat-
ic powers—England France and
America—content themselves with
speeches for home consumption
From Rowe Saturday night they
wamod the world that the mill-
tary forces of -Italy Germany
and lapan were prepared to back
REVISION OF
POLICIES URGED
(Continued front Page I)
with many misgivings Most of
them admit vaguely that the law
is unpopular It was enacted a
year ago aa one Of the far-famed
'must" measures The president
sent a special message to congress
pointing out that a great mazy
corporationa were 'piling up "re-
serve" funds and stressed such
funds as a source of possible reve-
nue to help bear the cost of re-
covery expenditures
The opponents of the measure
argued tnat it was an unjust bur-
den on the "little business luau"
preventing him from laying by a
penny for a rainy day saving his
profits in anticipation of leau
years
The law is a bad one iu the
opinion of Senator Thomas who
said: "it prevents the little fellow
from getting anywhere Small
businesses are without reserves
They're anemic like a man and
can't build up I've been opposed
to the law all along"
Senator Lee was less definite
lie wired the Oklahoma News Sat-
urday: "I do not favor repeal of
the undivided earnings tax but
might be favorable to some mod'
fication after a hearing in which
facts would show such to be justi-
fied" Nor were the congressmen very
clear
Rep Jed Johnson of the sixth
district declared there is 'consid-
erable sentiment" against the law
"My thought" he declared "Is
that we probably will repeal it"
"Will you vote for its repeal?"
"Well" be said "I don't believe
I'd care to make a statement I
haven't made thorough study of
the law"
Will Rogers the congressmanat-large
was questioned
"We've been spending so much
we didn't have I'm going to be
long on taxes" he said "I'm not
going to hinder the Government
in its attempt to raise revenue"
Here's What They Have To Say
Would he vote to repeal the
undistributed-profits tax?
"I never like to make a state-
ment as to what I'll do So many
things can come up to alter a sit-
uation" Rep Lyle P Boren of the fourth
district approached directness in
his statement
"I am in favor of the principle
of the law" he said "but I think
it should be limited in how far
down the business scale it reaches"
"Would you vote to repeal it?"
"I would vote for revision" he
said and added "under certain
circumstances"
Rep Wesley Disney aired his
views in a telegram from Wash-
ington He said that be is a mem-
ber of a House sub-committee now
considering the tax and that he is
"now in favor of some change"
tad not of "complete repeal"
the trl-power - anti-Communist
pact
They Intimated the brief agreement which makes Italy a charter
member Of the German-Japanese
anti-Botshvist front bimis the
three powers to a "roilabordion-
which goes beyond ('VVI1 the fight
on conimunism
( fflicials emphasized the pact
was not directeI against any
country- not eVrn RIISSia" which
may have all the communism it
wants as long as vhe keeps it at
home"
Claim 200 Million Men
Italian writers interpreted the
agreement in terms of the mili-
tary forces of the throe powers
Virginio Garta leading commen-
tator said 2000000 tons of war-
ships and 200000000 !WM are
now at the (lispoaal Of the anti-
comnumist front
The agreement contains no mil-
itary clauses but binds the signa-
tories to full exchange of in
on the xvorld pry al of
communism and the means fli'et'S-
wiry to combat it The brief pro-
tocol signed Saturday affirmed
the unity of the three powers and
brought Italy into the pact as
though she had been an original
signatory when the German-Japanese
agreement was reached
Nov 25 1936
Iapan Is Lauded
Japan "which is engaged In a
bard Asiatic anti connunnist
struggle" was especially lauded
by fascist commentators
The United States' "gradual
withdrawal front the western
ahores of the Pacific" was given
in the summaries of Japan's naval
position as a factor affecting the
empire's strength since the Wash-
ington treaty in 1922
Lion was described as working
"for a new form of life more hu-
man and at the same time more
virile and for a more Just organi-
zation of international affairs"
Thus the press stated Italian-
Japanese interests coincide
Premier Benito Iklussolini under-
lined the "Importance of the docu-
ment" Joachim von Ribbentrop Ger-
man ambassador to London term-
ed the pact "of -historical Impor-
tance" adding It "11101111CCH no
third party and is a guarantee to
world peace"

Recently some light was shed on
the "honesty" of big business
last week when a Ilimsouri
Pacific railroad executive was
forced to admit the lath O P
Van Sweringcn Cleveland finan-

One with true figures was
kept in CleNClitnd for the eyes of
insiders The other the false one
kept at St Louis was "official for the inspection of the Inter-

discrepancies that the "official"
books were false

The Ripley story of last week
of Bob and Alt Taylor's historic
campaign for the governorship of
Tennessee was not news anywhere
west of the Alississippi But out
of the old Bay State comes a story
of political fat-frying calculated
to make the political yarn-spinners
scratch their heads and

Mayor Boss Gillis of Newbury-
port Mass seeking a fourth
term is facing strong opposition
from an unexpected hist-minute
entrant --his attractive brunette
wife
Mrs Gillis filed nomination
papers and said that she expected
to win enough votes in the pri-
mary Nov 16 to run against her
husband in the December election
Asked if she had been prompted
to enter by the mayor she replied:
"My husband doesn't prompt me
to do anything I am Mrs "Bossy"
Gillis I entered this race because
I wanted to and that's reason
enough for any woman"

HIGHER PRICES ritEincTE:o
Higher egg prices throughout
1938 are predicted because of
smaller farm flocks and a lower
expected rate of egg production
With few exceptions the supply
of grain per grain consuming aid-
mai will be larger than in any
of the past 15 years due to very
low poultry and livestock numbers
and to good crop yields

Than Ever Before
From Facts for Farmers
A marked drop in the equity
which farmers hold on their land
Hhown by the survey of farm
mort ga go int lcbtedness recently
completed by the federal govern-
ment Instead of marching up thel
farin Ltdder 011'IlyrShipt this
study finds that farms operated by
their owners aro falling deeper into
debt For every $1000 of aitte
farm owner-operators are found to
havo mortgaged indebtedness of
$502 in 1935 as compared with 173!)6
in 1930—an increase of 270 in
their debt burden
Every live yt'ars the federal gov-
ernment has itINTStigated the status
of farm mortgage indebtedness
The present study was made by
the eelISUS Bureau in co-operation
with the Department of Agricul-
ture anti the NVBA
Liquidation Through Foreclosure
heavy liqindation thiough fore-
closure reduced tho total farm
mortgage debt for all types of
farms in the U S from $9211278-
000 in 1930 to $7615091000 by
1935 — a drop of 17(7 This drop
in total farm mortgages outstand-
ing has frequently been pointed to
as a sign of -farm improvement"
Such an interpretation however
could be correct only if the farm-
ers yore paying off their mort-
gages anti becoming debt-free own-
ers 'rite figures show however
: th:tt farmers got rid of their moil-
gages only by losing their land
Losing Equity
Moreover fatuous wno did not
lose their land nevertheless lost
much of their equity The drop
in the value of tarm real estate
Inuit 1930 to 1935 amounted tot
314ye being' nearly twice as great
as the deenno in farm mortgage
indebtedness Thus the comoined
equity of owners of all farm land
suffered
The burden of mortgage debt is
highest for farms operated by their
owners AS conipared with farms
owned by banks anti insurance
companies find operated by man-
agers or leased to tenants The
mortgage debt on owner-operated
farms declined only from
1930 to 1935 vhile the drop for I
I other farms amount to 223'
The value of owner-operated
farms covered by mortgages
33y in the period 19301935-- a'
larger drop than tor other farms
---vhile their mortgage dobt de-
clined only 137" ----considerably
less than for other types Bence
owner-operated tirins suffered the
greatest loss of equity and have
moved closer than ever to the
brink of tenancy
Despite the heavy seizure of land
during the depression mortgages
in 1935 covered 1S2 million acres
of owner-operated farms as com-
pared vith 169 millions in 1930—
an increase of 13 million acres

Government figures show that
land has been continuously sliding
away from farmers owning and
operating their farms It has been
passing into the hands of the in-
surance companies banks and gov-
ernment In 1910 the total mort-
gage indebtedness of the American
farmers owning and operating
their own farms amounted to
2735 of the value of their farms
and buildings Ilut by 1935 we
find that the mortgage indebted-
Less amounted to 502 of the
value of farms and buildings

Ponca City News recalls This
Hee ms like a lot of money but it
is somewhat below the average
and is not nearly enough to keep
us in spending money Out of this
we spend for city government for
school district county and state
$265218000 In other words 555
percent of our income went as
taxes to support govirnment The
total agricultural income was
$256295000 or $10000000 less
than expenses Oklahoma is fortu-
nate in having mineral deposits
Previous to their exploitation we
had to depend entirely upon agri-
culture for our income It is not
inconceivable Ilia twe again may
have to rely upon agriculture at
least for the major part of our in-
come We are somewhat sure tax
costs in an agricultural state
should not be greater than agri-
cultural income We must in some
wey manage to cut our pattern
to suit our costs the News advises
THE FEE) SITUATION
The total production of corn
oats barley and grain sorghum in
1937 is the largest since 1931
Wheat production was also large
and supplies available for poultry
feeding will be larger than in re-
cent years Important supplement-
al feed ingredients such as dry
skim milk are in favorable posi-
tion while packing house by-products
(meat scraps etc) are rel-
atively short due to the livestock
situation
During most of 1937 about 50
per cent more eggs than average
were required to buy 100 pounds
of poultry feed In Sept ember Re-
cording to figures front the U S
Department of Agriculture this
feed-egg ratio dropped to only 30
per cent above the 1925-1934 av
erage and was below 1936 0 money ain't the right answer"

MONEY THEY SAY
The Southwestern Bell Telephone
Co renewed its application Satur-
day for rate increases in 14 Okla-
homa cities and fired a new bar-
rage at the corporation commis-
sion in the current rate controv-
ersy with Reford Bond the core-
mision chairman
Chickasha Bond's home city is
one of the 14 cities in which the
company is asking an immediate
increase
Attorneys for the company
coupled an application for an early
rate hearing for the 14 cities with
a motion to strike the commission's
cross petition to eliminate the 15-
cent monthly charge for handset
telephones
Referring to the cross petition
prepared by J B A Robertson
attorney for the commission the
motion declared there is no legal
authority for such action by a
commission employe and added
that the cross petition makes the
commission "an adversary party"
Identical pleadings filed in con-
nection with the rate increase ap-
plication for the 14 cities contained
claims that in seven cities the com-
pany operated at a loss the first
six months of this year
In Chickasha the company re-
ported a loss of $1334 Typical
of the rate increases asked was a
boost from $2 a month for one-
party residence phones at Chicka-
sha to $260

Farms in Oklahoma Need
8000000 Tons of Lime
STILLWATER Okla—(Special)
—Soil acidity on farms must be
neutralized and the potential fer-
tility increased by legume crops
if farm operators are to have a
better farm income to provide for
a higher standard of livings is the
contention of Dr Horace J tiarper
soil specialist at the Oklahoma A
and M College
Waste of Fertility
Pointing to the fact that Okla-
homa sous have been exploited by
methods of farming winch have
resulted in an enormous waste of
fertility principally from soil ero-
bier harper says that the growth
of legume crops and the use of
fertilizers and Mae when needed
is the only method by which many
of these soils can be improved
Much Lime Needed
Although the highest percentage
of acid soils occurs in tile eastern
half of the state Harper 's studies
show that some of the counties in
central Oklahoma will need more
lime to neutralize the achilly in
the cultivated soils than will some
of the counties in the eastern part
because more of the land is in
pasture meadow or forest
Latimer County
For example in Latimer county
68 per cent of the cultivated soils
are acid It would require 65520
tons of limestone to neutralize this
acidity In Garfield county only
34 per cent of the soils are acid
but because of the greater per-
centage of that county's arca
which is in cultivation it would
require 292880 tons of limestone
to neutralize the acidity in the
cultivated soils
8000000 Ton Needed
The average soli which is more
than slightly acid should receive
an application of two tons of
finely ground limestone to neutral-
ize the acidity in the surface Six
or eight inches of soil Using the
soils which have been tested as a

t
basis Harper estimated that it
would require 8281376 tons of
agricultural limestone to neutralize
the acidity in the cultivated soils
in Oklahoma which are slightly
plus to strongly acid
A By-Product
One of the important factors re-
sponsible for the limited use of
agricultural limestone is that this
material is produced as a by-product
of the crushed-stone industry
and is available in small quantities
in only a few places in the state
Farmers who are not finandally
able to purchase a carload are
urged by Harper to organize co-
operative associations in order to
obtain limestone during seasons
when time is available to haul and
distribute it over the land
Non-Aeld Soils
"Crop demonstrations conducted
on non-acid soils should not be
recommended for other areas where i
soil conditions are different" Har-
per says "1Vhat one farmer cart'
do On his soil is no indication that
similar results may be obtained by
neighbors who are farming other
soil types which may vary in de-
