The shortage of teachers is not

them to the highest state Of eff
cheney as quickly as possible Ag-
riculture has suffered more severe
~ than any other industry thru the
inefficient railroad service Of the
last two years. Many farmers have
incurred disastrous losses thru ina
bility to market their grain and live
stock. Such condition must not be
permitted to continue. We must
bring about conditions which will
give us prompt service at the lowest
possible rates.
Seventh. we are pledged to the re-
vision OF the tariff as soon as con-
ditions shall make 1t necessary for
the preservation OF the home market
for American labor. American agri-
culture and American industry. For
permanent good fortune all must
have common interest. II we arc
to build UP a self-sustaining asricul-
ture here at home, the farmer must
be protected from unfair competition
from those countries where agricul-
ture is still being exploited and
where the standards Of living on the
farm are much lower than here. W.
have asked for higher American
standards. let us maintain them.
To Protect All.
The farmers OF the corn belt, for
example, are already threatened with
unfair competition from the Argen-
tine, whose rich soil is being exploit
ed in needless fashion, and where
the renters who farm 1t are living
under conditions more miserable
than the poorest tenants In the
United States. In times past, duties
on agricultural products were large
ly In the nature OF paper tariffs, for
we we're a great surplus pro ducins
nation. Now that consumption at
home Is so nearly reaching normal
production. the American farmer has
a right to insist that in our trade
relations with other countries he
shall have the Same consideration
that is accorded to other Industries
and we mean to protect them all.
So long as America can produce
the foods we need. am in favor Of
buying from America first. It Is
this very preference which impels
development and Improvement.
Whenever America can manufacture
to meet American needs-and there
is almost no limit to our genius and
resources-I favor producing in
America first. commend American
preference to American productive
activities, because material good for
tune is essential to our higher at
tainment. and linked indissolubly are
farm and factory in the great eco
nomic fabric Of American life.

in part:

mon. who, because OF lack OF capt.

increase In tenancy brings with 1t
evils which are a real menace to ma
tional welfare. The land owner, es-
pecially II he be speculator who
Is holding for a profit thru an
advance In value, Is concerned
chiefly in securing the highest pos
sible rent. The tenant who lacks
sufficient working capital, and who
too often is working under a short
time lease, is forced to farm the
land to the limit and rob it Of it's
fertility in order to pay the rent.
Thus we have a sort OF conspiracy
between the landlord and tenant to
rob the soil upon which our ma
tional well-being and indeed our
very existence depend. Amid such
conditions. we have inefficient
schools, broken-do churches. and
a sadly-limited social life. We
should, therefore, concern ourselves
not only in helping men to secure

tho tenant secure the working CAPT.
