M'KELV|E MAKES
ADDRESS BEFORE
U. S, GOVERNORS

solved most promptly by the appli-
cation OF graduated tax upon land.
Such a tax should fall most heavily
upon nonresident land owners and
those who hold the land for specu-
lation.
To reduce the ills OF tenantry,
Mr.. Mckelvie told the governors
that land lease laws which will en-
courage the proper cultivation, and
rotation of crops and the building
of necessary farm equipment should
be enacted. A lease OF sufficient
length to permit such policy is
necessary.
Rural school consolidation"
said Mr.. McKelvie, "otferS the best
means for country educational I'M
provement in which Nebraska has
been far behind other states. The
way for further consolidation should
be provided by removing all bar
riers, and the state should be re-
districted that all sections will share
equally in the benefits"
Discussing farm marketing condi-
lions, the speaker commended the
farmers for their splendid efforts
toward increased production, but
suggested that more attention be
given to marketing. The farmer
has been taking the other fellows
price for his products. Agencies
which are not economically neces-
sary in distribution of farm prod
ucts should be removed, and un-
necessary speculation, artificial
price control and prohteering must
come to an end.
Believes in Cooperation.
Farmer cooperation" predicted
the speaker, will solve the prob
lem. Under the proper encourage
ment and with the barriers removed
cooperation will overcome the COM
petition of all other agencies that
are uneconomic. In addition to CO.
operative institutions at, local ship
ping points, terminal markets and
boards of trade must be open so that
cooperative enterprises will have an
even break. In addition to Cooper
alive marketing by farmers, the
foundation of cooperative credit
societies should also be possible
in order to provide cheaper money
Tor financing farm enterprises"
To be successful, cooperation
must have the unselhslt willingness
of the individual to pool his inter-
ests with his neighbors for the COM
mon good, Mr., McKelvie believes.
Cooperation which has for its pur-
pose an unfair advantage for any
individual or interest will meet the
same fate as that which now threat
ems private interests which have
taken unfair advantage in the past.
While farming is the basic industry
of Nebraska, it is not the only I'M
oortant one.
Upon efficient administration will
depend the success of any agricul-
tural policy. The governor-elect
hopes that better definition of
powers and duties of the law en-
forcement and educational depart
ments will make for efficiency in al
ministration. An elimination of the
numerous boards and commissions
which now have control over several
branches of agricultural activity
will simplify the handling of agri-
cultural matters.
