1.-The consumer pays. Such drives
simply give the Spectator and the
profiteer additional opportunity to
add to their exactions while they add
ito the uncertainty and discourage
ment under which the farmer is Ia
boring during this period of readjust-
ment.
! "We favor the administration of the
farm loan act so as to- help men who
| farm to secure farms Of their own
i and to give to them long time credit
needed to practice the best methods
/ of diversified farming. !,
I'VE also favor the authorization OF
associations to provide the necessary
machinery to furnish personal credit
Ito the man, whether land owner or
tenant, who is hampered for lack of
working capital.
1--WE do not longer recognize the
+, right to speculative profit in the oper-
alton of our transportation systems
but we are pledged to restore them
| TO the highest state of efficiency as
quickly as possible. We must bring
about conditions which will give us
prompt service at the lowest possible
rates.
| I'VE are pledged to the revision OF
the tariff as soon as conditions shall
make it necessary for the preservation
!! of the home market for American Ia
! Dor American agriculture and Amer
| lean industry.
/ IF we are to build up a self sustain
ling agriculture here at home the farm
Ter must be protected from unfair COM
petition from those countries where
agriculture is still being exploited and
where standards of living on the farms
/ are much lower than here. We have
asked for higher American standards,
tlet us maintain Them"
