Himself a Farmer
Cox Aids Farmers

New York City-As a practca
farmer whose childhood and youns
manhood We're passed on the farm
where he was born, James M. Cox
Democratic nominee for the Prest
dency, realizes the needs and PROB
lens of the farmer at first hand. He
knows the compensations, material
and otherwise of farmers life.
AS Governor of Ohio, Mr. Cox has
been an originator of legislation IL
| the interests of the agricultural in
dustry. This is told in the Demo
cratic Campaign Textbook issued
from the national headquarters.
Grand Central Palace, New York
City. One of his first acts as Gov.
arnor was to order survey of roads
in the state. The era OF road build
ing in Ohio began with this survey,
which resulted in the mapping out
Of q complete network of 10000 miles
Of intercountry roads to tie TO.

State. or this, 5000 msles, connect.
ing the larger cities, were designated
as main market roads. The latter are
to be constructed entirely at r,tate
expense, while the remainder are
to be built, half at the expense of |
The State and half at the expense o. |
the county in which the road lies.
The programme calls for an expen- |
diture of 100000 900 annually, includ |
ing Federal aid
Another achievement of the Cox |
which was of vital
concern to agriculture was the en-.
lctment Of the school code. This
legislation was designated by the !
Governor to reorganize the rural
school system, and by undermining
i, centralizing and consolidating dis
.ricts, improving educational stand
ards and methods and giving the
'ountry boy and girl the educational
advantages possessed by pupils in the
arger centres, to remove the causes
