Tractor breakdowns are costly. Poor 
or only average lubrication is respon¬ 
sible for most of them. The heat- and 
friction-resisting film of Socony Motor 
Oil prevents wear and produces full 
compression and economical power.

Finer tractor lubrication with Socony 
Motor Oil means fewer mishaps in 
the engine—only minor repair bills— 
more dependable service and longer life 
from the motor. Consult the Socony 
chart at your dealer’s. Delivery in 
metal 30 or 50 gallon drums, with 
faucet, probably will suit you best, and 
it costs no more.

News 
T HE outstanding development in na¬ 
tional polities during the past week 
was the passage of the Soldiers’ Bonus 
Bill in the House of Representatives by 
a count of 335 to 54. This bill involves 
a cost to the Treasury of the United States 
of over $2,000,000,000. In spite of severe 
denunciation from the Floor, the “gag 
rule” was enforced and a straight vote 
forced on the measure as it was drafted 
by the Ways and Means Committee. The 
bill, as it goes to the Senate, provides 
twenty-four paid endowment insurance 
policies for the great bulk of ex-service 
men. Only those entitled -to adjusted 
compensations of fifty dollars or less, will 
receive cash. The insurance will be com¬ 
puted at the rate of $1.00 a day for home 
service and $1.25 a day for foreign serv¬ 
ice—not to exceed in any case $500 for 
home service and $625 for foreign service. 
The policies would carry specific bor¬ 
rowing privileges after the first two years. 
Latest advices from Washington indi¬ 
cate that there will be a movement in the 
Senate to invite the veto of the President 
by adding amendments to the bill pro¬ 
viding for cash payments.

The oil investigation continues to bring 
i forth all kinds of insinuations at the Cap¬ 
ital. The longer the investigation con¬ 
tinues, the greater becomes the number 
of prominent men involved. In fact the 
investigation is beginning to lose its “oily 
aspect,” for moving pictures, prize fight¬ 
ing, rum-running, gun-running are added 
features to the scandal. The practice of 
wholesale broadcasting of unbiased scan¬ 
dal that is being followed by many con- 
jnected with the investigation is making 
many folks sick of the whole affair. 
Many have the opinion that it is all for 
political effect.

Curtis D. Wilbur, former Chief Justice 
of the California Supreme Court, has 
been appointed by President Coolidge 1 
to fill the vacancy in the Cabinet created 
by the resignation of Mr. Denby.

During the week ending March 22, two 1 
of the oldest newspapers in the United, 
States were consolidated. Mr. Ogden 
Reid, owner and publisher of the New 
York Tribune, purchased the New York 
Herald from Mr. Frank Munsey. The 
Herald was founded in 1838 by James 
Gordon Bennett. Three years later, in 
1841, Horace Greeley founded the Trib¬ 
une. In bringing these two papers to¬ 
gether there is consolidated some of the 
finest traditions in the newspaper world.

In the primaries held .during the past 
week in North Dakota, President Coolidge 
led both Hiram Johnson in California 1 
and Senator La Follette by a heavy ma¬ 
jority. Johnson was second and La Fob, 
lette a poor third. Reports indicate a' 
light vote. At the North Carolina State 
Convention the delegation to the Republi¬ 
can National Convention has been in¬ 
structed for President Coolidge, having 
a voting strength for 24. 
In the Democratic primaries held in 
Georgia, W. C. McAdoo took a very sub¬ 
stantial lead over W. O. Underwood.

What Farmers Think About the 
Tax Problem 
{Continued from page 319) 
hand behind him. Graft means tax. 
It is idle to listen to babble of legisla¬ 
tive help. If help comes we must force 
it. If we are to get a better price for 
our produce, cheaper transportation, we 
must work for it. 
Organization is the slogan. We must 
hang together. Force your public ser¬ 
vant to serve you. Let him remember 
his master on other days than election 
day. And finally get in step with this 
great movement for tax reduction and 
keep marching.—A. F. G., New York.
