HOW FARM BUREAUS -.
MAY GO WRONG
(By E. Davenport)


Considering he magnitude of the
farm bureaus and their declarations
and their opportunities for service,
no exertion is too exacting and no
amount of forethought is too great
to be we'll worth while on the part
of those interested in seeing that
they avoid the many engaging pit
falls and choose the one right way
that leads to complete success.
Nobody would presume to yolun-
teer his services as adviser to SO
capable a body Of gentlemen as
those of the farm bureaus, yet no
Harm can come from and no offense
can be involved in a brief discus
sion of some of the most menacing
and insidious of those evil infiu-
ences that beset the pathway of
these new organizations"
- Among the early influences likely
to divert them from their better
purposes is the one of buying. Ev-
cry agricultural association that has
tried it has failed as merchandiser
and has also become untitled for the
real purpose it was organized and
equipped to accomplish. The primary
purpose of membership in a farm
bureau is not to save a few cents,
but it is to expand he business, seek
ing profits in increased or in cheap
ened production rather than in
small savings which will make still
more impossible a satisfactory re-
tail service in the community.
Organized labor is demanding as
large share as possible in the di-
vision of what already exists; the
farmers object is to create values
and add to the sum total Of wealth.
Agitators OF various types, but all
preachers OF discontens are sure to
make their appearance; the farm
bureau has no place for them. 1t
was organized to develop American
agriculture and to promote the far
mers' interests. and it should be
managed and directed entirely by
bona-fide farmers.
Dollar memberships have been
popular-dangerou so. The farm
bureau is big business or il is moth
ing, and to run II cheaply is to kill
II. Really good things cost money;
the farmer can, like the laborer,
raise a large fund II all hands will
Join in. And no attempt should be
made to finance these organizations
with public funds further than as
they function as purely public-ser-
vice institutions.
"Of all forms Of abusing the pow
er of citizens organizations that Of
turning special class into a poll
tical party is at ohce the most dan
gerous and reprehensible. Not on
ly that, but any organization which
attempts this course will either kill
itself in the attempt or wreck the
country by its selfishness and its ig-
norance OF the completely of society.
No class. even the farmers. is good
enough or wise enough TO rule all
the people,"

HOOVER PLANS
FULL CONTROL
TRADE BOARDS
Institutions Essential as
Banks But Should be
Supervised.

Topeka, Oct. 14-Control Of boards
of trades to prevent price speculation in
farm products was advocated by Her
bert Hoover Thursday at conference
of heads of Kansas farm organizations,
bankers, grain men and business men
here.
Mr.. Hoover, however, maintained the
boards of trade have as important part
to maintain in the economic life of the
nation as have banks, and that the
regulation should be under legal regu-
lations similar to those applied to banks,
in particular manipulation of prices
should be eliminated by limiting the
volume of trade to the amounts of grain
available and to the respective needs
of purchasers.
The cooperative marketing move
ment was indorsed by Mr.. Hoover.
If national market could be estab-
lished to compel free, open trading, on
hedging with prices, which for future
delivery, for six months or year in
advance, the effect would be to stabilize
prices, subject only to world wide con-
ditions Mr. Hoover said The farmer
then would have no object in holding
his grain for higher prices he said.
THE board of trade performs a
great public service in that it reflects
demands and supplies the persons deal
ing in markets." said Mr.. Hoover. THE
criticism is that men with larger and
prior knowledge are able to take ad
vantage of the situations for their per-
sonal benefit.
1--WE must find some method for reg
ulating this great situation Probably
the best remedy would be to limit the
size Of transactions so that no one per-
son or group would corner the market
and manipulate prices" American stan
dards of high living are on the decline,
Mr.. Hoover said With lower prices for
food commodities there must be a de-
cline in wages, he said. 1T is all
question of relatively. The farmer
would be satisfied with Is cent wheat
If wages and other elements which en-
ter his cost of production were on the
same scale. On the other hand. labor
can afford to work for less il the cost
of living is reduced. The problem of
deflation is to obtain an industrial step
downward, a parity with agricultural
readjustments.

GOVERNOR COX
CHARGES TAT 7
IS REPUD|AT0R
Candidate in Home State
Asserts Judge Would
Ignore Referendum.

Van Vert. O., Oct. IA new line
Of attack upon former President Taft's
position on the League of Nations was
made here Thursday by Governor Cox
IN opening threedaY campaign in his
home state
Referring to Judge Tafts statement
that even in event of Governor Cox 8
election there would remain enough
senator's to defeat the treaty, the Dem
ocratic presidential candidate declared
this indicated a plan to disregard a de-
clslon of the league referendum"
This can mean only one thing" said
Governor Cox, that wnen l am elected
on straightforward platform favoring
the league it f. the purpose of the brazen
conspirators in the senate to treat the
mandate of the people with contempt
and turn their backs on the expressed
will Of the electorate
This, in the first place, is unthink-
able, and in the second place, will not be
permitted for. after all, this is a
Democracy and the will of the people is
triumphant.
"On the other hand, if the candidate
of the senatorial oligarchy were to be
elected because he favors staying out
of the league and then after his assump-
tion of office were to turn about face
and propose the league, what about the
popular mandate and the referendum
then? What would Borah and Johnson

crease IN wages.
1t seemed certain that unless the
government Or the mine owners con-
ceded the demands of the men or made
fresh and attractive offers, more than
100000 miners would not return Mon
day, throwing hundreds Of thousands Of
workers in other industries out of work
and causing a critical situation in the
economic life of the country.
Official returns from the national
miners ballot concerning the proposal of
the owners showed an overwhelming
majority for rejection. At the confer
ence of the miners delegates, who met
to consider the deadlock, a small minori-
ty held out for submission Of the claims
of the men to arbitration but this was
brushed aside.
No sooner was news of the decision
of the miners received in the great steel
district of Cleveland, Yorkshire, than
the iron and steel manufacturers there
began preparations for closing the
works. 1t is expected that if the strike
materializes most of the blast and steel
furnaces will become idle Immediately
The government, while saying little,
for weeks mas been preparing to handle
the situation in the event of strike.
