 Agricultural Interests
 To this great interest of the coun- try, the Democratic party does not find it necessary to make promises. It already is rich in it's record of things actually accomplished. For nearly half a century of Republican rule not a sentence was written into the federal statutes affording one dol lar of bank credits to the farming in terests of America. In the first term of this Democratic administration the national bank act was so altered as to authorize loans of five years ma tuTity on improved farm lands. Later was established system of farm loans banks, from which the borrow ings already exceed $300,00O 900 and under which the interest rate to far mers has been so materially reduced as to drive out of business the farm loan sharks which formerly subsist4sl by extortion upon the great agricu1- tural interests of the country.
 Thus it was Democratic congress in the administration of Democratic president which enabled the farmers of America for the first time to ob- tain credit upon reasonable terms and insured their opportunity for the future development of the nations agricultural resources. Tied up in supreme court proceedings, in a suit by hostile interests, the federal farm loan system, originally opposed by the Republican candidatei for the pres

 Budget
 In the interest of economy and good administration we favor the creation of an effective budget system that will function in accord with the prfn- ciples of the constitution. The re- forms should reach both the eXecu- tive and legislative aspects of the question. The supervision and prep aration of the budget should be vest ed in the secretary of the treasury as the representative of the president. The budget, as such, should not be increased by the congress except by a two-thirds vote of each house. how ever, being free to air it's constItu- tional privilege of making appropri- ations through Independent bills. The appropriations bills should be consid- cred by single committees of the house and senate. The audit system should be consolidated and it's powers expanded so as to pass upon the WIS dom of, as well as the authority for expenditures.
 A budget bill was passed in the closing days of the second session of the sixty-sixth congress which, invaA dated by plain constitutional defects and defaced by considerations of pat lcnage, the president was obliged to veto.

belief. that the producing companies
are responsible for the unreasonable
prices.
He indicates that in his opinion
many coal operators should be in the
penitentiary, for he says:
"Some people have the idea, and
I may be included in the number;
that there is altogether too much I'M

In another portion of the report,
Judge MCGEE says: IF the coal pro-
ducers can conceal from the public
the knowledge of production costs
and have the price to the consumer
subject to their own will, there is
something radically wrong with our
form of government. l do not advo-

st. Paul, Dec. 15.-The people of

This is the belief expressed by

His findings indicate, he declared,
that the consumers Of bituminous

dollars, through the direct activities
Of an organization Of coal producing

One method employed by producers
to Illustrate their $3.50 a ton con-

to be- moved an any cost in order to
prevent congestion and consequent
