H. Funston have been corresponding
with reference to tho depressed con-
dition Of agricultural interests in the
United States, The governor, un-
like some Of our American states
men, recognizes the deplorable con-
dition Of the country, and suggests
tho appointment Of joint Committee
Of the two houses Of Congress "to de-
vote six months, il necessary, TO in
vestigation and inquiry into the pres
ent condition Of agriculture throrgh-
out tho Union, including stock and
other kindred interests, tho causes
producing the present depression,
with view to finding out and sug-
costing what is the matter with Ogri-
culture, which seems to bo tho sick
man in our industrial affairs.
Representative Funston aclnowl-
edges the propriety Of the governors
suggestions but prefers commits
sion to bo appointed by the President
rather than a joint Committee.
Should this suggestion be adopted
we would like to suggest the names
Of the members of the commission.
No one will question tho propriety
of naming Senator Paddock Of Ne
braska as chairman. He represents
an agricultural state and Of course
knows the exact degree Of prosperity
represented by the mortgages on the
farms Of his constituents. A report
that did not contain this information
would be incomplete. Then we have
our own ex-governor Geo, T. Anthony
who is himself u farmer, and although
he "farms with telescope" as ho dc,
clares, Of course knows all about this
vexed question. He knows that the
western farmers are extravagant.
They live too high They leave
their cultivators and moving ma
chimes out in the yard for the hens
to roost in. They are devoting too
much attention to rearing States
men" in these troublous times in
stead Of raising "calves and mules"
This Of course causes the low price Of
wheat and corn and fat cattle; and a
report that did not embody this in
formation would not be symmetrical
and would lack some of the essential
elements upon which to base recon-
mendations of relief. Then the gov
ernor knows all about the glorious
achievements Of the q. o. p. and he
would be able to point out the dan
ger Of any failure to "yote her
straight" He could dispel the hal
lucination that seems to have taken
possession Of some men that they
could more certainly advance their
interests by paying moro attention to
principles and men than to parties.
Such fallacies as this need TO be cor
rected and the governor is just the
man to do this. But it will not do to
give this commission too much Of a
partisan character, and besides, it is
customary to give the minority party
