TRAILER LAUNCHES
WAREHOUSING PLAN
Grcenyille Candidate Would Establish
System Under Government Control.

| (From Greenvillc Daily News)
David B. Traxler, candidate for
lcongress in the Fourth congressional
district, yesterday announced his in
tention Of drafting a bill during the
early months Of his service ii ne IS
elected looking toward the estab-
,llshment Of national system of
+, Warehouses whereby the production
Of Americas agricultural lands might
be protected and more evenly distrib-
| utcd thus assuring the consul II at
Iall times an adequate supply of the
necessities Of life and the producer
a stabilized schedule of prices for his
/ crop yields.
The warehousins system proposed
! is along the same general line Of his
universal free education plan which
has received the highest Endorsement
! Throughout not only the district but
far beyond the borders of the four
counties.
Seeks Federal Aid.
Mr. TraXler proposed that federal
aid shall be Joined with state and
lcounty funds in the establishment OF
centrally located warehouses easy of
access to be operated on a coopera-
tive plan without profit. These ware
houses would be constructed to serve
! individual localities as the needs Of
, each require respectively. For in
stance. the southern warehouses
would be built TO accommodate large
quantities OF cotton. corn, wheat, To-
Eacco, and other products indigenous
to this soil and climate. The Mid
dlc-Wcst warehouses would be built
ito accommodate the products OF the
grain farmer and SO on all through
,,hC nation.
Save Crops.
MI TraXler contends that only by
such system Of warehouses and the
! consequent saving Of the crops, can
the fields produce enough to supply
the demands Of the world at this crit
| ical ucliOd. He maintains that the
farmer is entitled to a maximum price
FOR his crops, at the same time he
REALIZES the position Of the consumer.
Nothing but equitable and practical
distribution can bring maximum
service to both, he contends. by the
! operation Of universal system OF
warehouses, Mr.. TraXlcr says, the
products Of the broad fields of Amer
lea can DC saved and production slim
iulatcd. In the economic readjust-
met that is before the nation, the
! candidate says il is the highest duty
/ Of congrCss to tend every effort TO
solve the problems OF the farmer
the produccr-as the first big task of
the reconstruction era.
Would Help Women.
MIR. TraNlcr also went on record as
strongly indOrsing constructive eco
nomic movements looking toward the
establishment of the rightful eco
nomic heritage Of American women
especially American women Of the
rural districts. Too long, said Mr..
