Golden Rule Is
Urged Between
Farm and City
Will Bring Better Understand.
ing for Solution of Their
Problems, J. D. Larson
Tells Farmers Congress.

Strict application of the principle
of the Golden RUE as the best
means of bringing about better un-
derstanding between business men
in the cities and agriculturalists in
the Surrounding country as solu-
ton OF their problems was urged be-
fore the Nebraska Farmers congress
here last night by ]. David Larson,
commissioner for the Omaha Cham
Der of Commerce.
Most OF the trouble in the world"
he asserted, comes from misunder-
standing The sooner, therefore,
that there is closer afiiliation between
the business men and their partners
in the country, the sooner will there
bean adjustment of economical dis
turbances."
Reviews Problems.
Mr.. Larson reviewed the problems
that are facing the farmers of the
nation and declared:
IF there is one thing we need
more than another in the city and
country it is to get our feet on the
ground and get back to the Golden
Rule. Individualism is only success
ful when it considers the rights of
others. The interests of the city and
country are so interviewer that the
failure of one reflects on the other.
"Cities are only substantial and
built on a firm foundation when sur.
rounding country is producing and
developing. City builders have come
10 very definite conclusion that the
safest way to build good city is to
. develop the country surrounding.
Business does not prosper unless the
farmers prosper. Their interests are
identical; thus, anything that can be
done to make them understand each
other better 10 a step forward.
Arguments Useless.
"There are difficult problems con
. fronting the farmers at this time
The business men also has difficult:
problems and they must be solved
In the interest of both. Both are in
VOWED in the economic solution and
one cannot be adjusted without the
other. Hot headed arguments or
accusations on either side are use
Tess.
"The adjustment of present day
troubles will only come about when
more Of the principle of the Golden
Rule has been used on both sides.
Most of the trouble in the world |
comes from misunderstanding.
Establishes Bureau.
"The Omaha Chamber of Com
merce, realizing the Importance of a |
closer relationship between city ard !,
country, has established an agri- |
cultural bureau with practical |
farmer in charge, which has for its |
purpose the creating of friendly rela-
tions between the city and country |
and assisting the farmer in solving |
some Of his difficulties. Some head |
way is being made. 1t is a depart
r1ent OF cooperation working to the
end that some day both city and
country will realize that their inter.
csts are identical and can be solved
by cooperation and the practice o.
the Golden Rule"

"The misdirection and exploita-
ton OF some groups of organized
labor, through grating leadership;
has been revealed in New York

some other larger cities" the report
said. "This has spread to COM
binations of employers, who work

labor leaders, have combined to

partment Of Justice is urged to
prosecute the wrongldoers when
ever they are found to have violated

Establishment of more trade
schools by cities and states to train
apprentices for the building trades
was recommended as was the crea-
tion of . federal bureau to assist in
framing building codes and at the
same time lower costs.

the committee said, should be aided

and tax exemption for real estate

: federal reserve act, to permit men,
Der banks TO invest in long time
mortgages, was further recommend
ed, and the committee said it in
dorsed the principle Of "the home
loan bank bill. which is designed to
facilitate a wider distribution OF
real estate mortgages through

concluded, would be aided by con-

Chief Complaint.
The chief complaint of farmers ar
irving in Omaha for the session yes
terday morning seemed to be that
while business men are able to bor-
row money from their banks to con-
duct business the farmers are unable
to borrow money from the Farm
Loan bank.
1t is believed the farmers will ia
vor the proposed formation of the
100000, 900 Chicago corporation for

products in Europe. Decline in
prices OF grains is attributed to lack
of foreign demand, due to inability
of foreign countries to finance large
purchases from this country, it 4
pointed out.

In straw and horse manure or IN q

conditions are suitable for breeding.
