LET FARMER DO IT
Secretary Mohler Willing for
Ruralist to Make Laws.
One-Third Population on Farm
and 1 Per Cent Lawyers.
FORECAST.

This states secretary of agriculture,
J. C. Mohler is for the farmers, not
only on the farm. but in the state
legislature. He goes even farther
than the legislature. There should
be more farmers in congress than
from any other one trade, he said to-
day
"One-third of the population of the
United States lives in agricultural dis
tricts. One per cent only are lawyers.
yet lawyers predominant in congress"
Mohler said.
In Kansas a majority of the last
house of representatives were farm
ers- There also were q number of
farmers in the Kansas senate. This
is as 1t should be. There is no differ
ence in the average intelligence of the
Kansas farmer than that of any other
Kansas tradesman, and don't believe
there Is a difference nationally in
farm sense against lawyer sense or
any other kind of sense.
Many argue that the farmer. be-
up a bin. Even IL he can't draw up a
bill there are always plenty of law
yers in the legislature or in congress.
or on the outside for that matter. will
ing to draw the bill"
According to Mohler, agricultural
districts should be represented in con-
gress by farmer senators and farmer
congressman. Agricultural states
should have farmer legislatures.
I'm for the farmer making his own
laws" Mohler declared
