Better Market

Non-Partisan League Member of
Senate Will Make War on
Gambling in Farm
Products

fargo, n. d., Nov. 17.--Dr. Il. f..
Ladd, first United States senator elect
ca as candidate of the nom partisan n
league, announced here that his first
aim in congress will be to promote a
oetter system for marketing the grain
ana other food products of the farm
1T is a serious problem that faces
congress- DR.. Ladd said. Something
must be done and within the next few
years II we are to save the farming
INDUSTRY from decentralization. Even
now the most of the men left on the
farm are middle aged and elderly
the younger men are looking for
greater opportunities.
Il believe that dealing in futures
on shorts-selling grain in which the
Seller never had an equity, which
never existed and which will never
be delivered-is a species of gambling
| which does not stabilize prices OF.
cement the producer or consumer. 1t
is matter which every legislator
ought to study until he has a Just
comprehension Of it and then consid-
er whether it is not worthy of his at
tention.
The cooperative movement must
go hand in hand with helpful legisla-
ton in improving the situation. Farm
crs must come to own their buying
and selling organizations
IF legislation is passed making
funds from federal reserve banks and
federal land banks available to these
| organizations farmers will be able to
hf,1 hni
ed instead of dumping them on the
market at the end Of the harvest"
DR.. Ladd added that effort should
be made to bring a better school sys-
tenn into rural istricts and give the
farm children the same chances for
education as hold in towns and cities
