of these facts believe it is the bound
en- duty of the government to study
the causes of this decrease and so to
legislate as to stem the tide that is
flowing cityward. The history of the
world teaches us that the agricultural
classes are the backbone of the pro-
ducing power of all nations, and that
when tillers of the soil have ceased
their labors as in time of wars and
disaster, there have been suffering
and economic cramp in every depart
ment of the national life. | believe
that we should devote special thought
and study to the betterment of condi-
tons for the agricultural classes, and
that we should enact legislation that
will not only be benefcent but slim
ulating in its effects.
l am in favor of laws that will pro-
hibit gambling in farm products, an
evil that is unquestionably RESPONSE
BILE for the depression of prices and
consequent injustice to the farmer.
am, as before stated, strongly on the
side of good roads, believing they are
absolutely essential to the general i'm
provement of rural conditions.
POStOffice Buildings for Towns.
favor such legislation as would au-
tomatically provide postoffice build
ings for all towns, based on their gross
receipts from one thousand to thirty
thousand dollars. 1t should not be
necessary for special bill to be intro
duced for each town when a postoffice
building is needed. A general bill,
such as l favor. would automatically
authorize building to cost the
amount justified by the gross receipts
of the office at that point. The de-
mand for labor and material thus Gre
ed would give rise to a very desirable
industrial activity. In case of necessity
the government could float bonds for
this purpose at 2 per cent. At present,
in many instances, it is paying 10 per
cent rental for buildings used as
postoftices. Another desirable feature
of this plan which l advocate is the
saving of time to congress. Under the
present system each bill must be
passed on separately and with consid-
cradle loss of costly time.
One Cent Letter Postage.
| favor an increased rate of postage
on advertising periodicals, pamphlets.
catalogues, etc, which class of matter
the government is now carrying at a
loss. Through such an increase | be-
lieye that one-cent letter postage
would soon justify itself, based on the
reductions in the past, which have
brought us down to the two cent rate.
l am of the opinion that with an in.
crease in the department referred to
one cent rate would soon be made
self-sustaining.

tention to the fact that ten years fol-
lowing the census of 1900 the popula
ton of the United States increased q
per cent, but the number of farms did
not keep pace with this increase Sin
population. Measured by the number
of farms agriculture exhibits a dimin-
ished rate of increase, and in large
areas of the country is practically
stationary. Yet Notwithstanding this
fact, there has been an increase of 1174
per cent. in the value of all land in
farms. The average value of farm
land per acre increased during the 10
years period indicated 1887 per cent
In this connection it is interesting tc
note that there has been much more
rapid increase in urban than in rural
population. The population classed by
the Census Bureau as urban constitut,

as compared with 40.5 in 1900. In view
