COOPERATION FOR FARMERS.

So keenly does the country realize
the handicaps of the farming popula-
ton that the great political parties are
taking cognizance of them and trying to
devise some method of relief. Here are
the suggestions of Senator Harding,
the Republican candidate for president:
"In the rise of price levels there have
come increased appraisal to his (the
farmer - acres without adding to their
value In fact, but which do add to his
taxes and expenses without enhancing
his returns. It challenges both
the wisdom and the justice of artificial
drives on prices to recall that they
were effective almost solely against his
production in the hands of the producer
and never effective against the same
products in passing to the consumer.
Contemplating the defeneelessness of
the individual farmer to meet the or
ganized buyers of his products and the
distributors of the things the farmer
buys, 1 hold the farmers should not
only be permitted but encouraged to
join in cooperative association to reap
the just measure of reward merited by
their arduous toll. Let us IA
cilitate cooperation to insure against
the risks attending agriculture, which
the urban world so little understands,
and like cooperation to market their
products as directly possible with the
consumer, in the interests of ALL"
These suggestions are free from any
suggestion of government regulation
with its horde of office holders back
ing the political ambitions of a SUI
perior Office holder and the increase of
prices that have followed every gov
eminent interference in the past few
years. All the government is asked to
do is to give the farmers the right to
co operate and work out their own bus
mess salvation. There is soundness
to the proposition that viii appeal to
the intelligent farmer.
