ADMINISTRATION
FOE OF FARMERS

" VI
Discussing that plank Of the Re-
publican platform which promises:
An end to price fixing and
ill-considered efforts arbi-
trarily to reduce prices of
farm products which invari-
ably result to the disadvant-
age of both the producer and
consumer.
As every farmer knows, practically
every move of the Wilson adminiftra-
ton during the war relative to ilgri-
cultural products and prices tended
to discourage production. For in
stance, congress passed a law guaran-
teeing not less than a certain price
for wheat. There was a universal
understanding that this was a mini
mum price guaranteed by the govern
ment to insure the farmer against
very great loss. The Wilson admins
tration, however, made this minimum
price the maximum price through the
licensing system, which gave it a
practical monopoly of the marketing
of grain. The result was that in al
most every state there were farmers
who produced and sold grain at less
than the cost of production. OF
course, there were many who made
money at the price fixed by the ad-
m~inistration, but the records show
that there were also thousands of
farmers who sold their grain at less
thar the cost of production.
The Republican platform is correct
in the assertion that price fixing and
arbitrary reduction of prices of farm
products result to the disadvantage
of both the producer and the consum-
err. The consumer may rear a tenn
porary benefit from the reduction of
prices paid to agricultural producers,
but such reduction of prices must in
evitably result in a diminution OF
production with consequent l%essening
of supply and the ultimate increase
in price due to a demand which can
not be filled. Far better would it be
for the consumer if he paid an eX-
cessive price in the beginning and en-
c~ouraged production which would
bring about an adequate supply and
reduce the price through competition
among the producers.
In other lines of industry than agri-
culture, the administration pursued
a course opposite to that which it fol
lowed in determining the price OF
farm products. In a large proportion
of the contracts for the manufacture
of various commodities needed by the
government during the war, from
munitions to cantonments and ships,
a cost-plus plan of determining the
compensation was adopted. Thus the
producer of those commodities was
given absolute assurance thai he
could sustain no loss, for in any event
the cost of production was guaranteed
to him and by adding to that a certain
per zen of profit, the government en-
couraged him to make his cost pro-
duction as high as practicable. The
administration took over the railroads
and guaranteed a return on the prop
erty; it took over a large number
of industrial plants under a similar
guaranty. 1t raised the wages of rail-
road employees and by its contract
policies virtually raised the wages
of all city employees. At the same

YES, HE'S IN THE
SAME CLASS

Democrat newspapers have recently
placed Warren G.. Harding as a
country politician" 1t is presumed
that therefore they consider him in
a class with Mckinley, whose home
was in Niles, Ohio, the population of
which city is $40. Or perhaps they
were thinking more particularly of
Lincoln. whose early life everyone
knows all about.

HIT
WRONG MAN

In its haste to make an attack upon
the Republican candidates, one Demo-
cratic paper assailed the management
of the federal reserve system under
the administration of Harding. The
editor did not know that the federal
reserve governor is w. P. G. Harding,
and not the senator. And the federal
reserve Harding is a Wilson APP
pointee.

stand was taken by federal authorl-
ties. Cox announced he would u

several other governors following
suit.
Governor Cox sponsored and Sc

was approved by King Albert of Bel

scientific budget system; a prison

for conyicts; elimination of sweat
hons a blue sky" law to protect
Ohio investors; a reform of the school
system; consolidation of numerous
state bureaus and abolition of others.
and many other laws designed to pro-
tect workmen and farmers.
Cox never lets his interest drift.
Even while conducting the affairs OF
he state at Columbus, he has an eye
on his W newspapers and often runs
down to Dayton and Springfield to
confer with his editorial and bust
ness stats. Sometimes he writes an
editorial or so while he is in the Of
fee and occasionally he helps out IN
the composing room when there is a
rush to put the paper ito bed"
New buildings have been provided
for both his papers and the best OF
equipment Installed.
Governor Cox has been married
twice. His present wife was Miss
Margaret Blair, whom he married in
Chicago in 1917. They have a little
daughter Ann. Another daughter, Mrs
D. J. Mahoney. lives in Dayton. The
sons John and James, Jr., r in
school.
Cox knows nearly everybody IN
Democratic politics. He keeps up on
national affairs and it is said his adj
vice is frequently sought by leaders
at Washington. He goes to the ma
tional capital occasionally and then
drops into New York for a night at
a theatre, or a dinner with friends.
In Columbus, the Coxes live at a ho-
tel. In Dayton they own their own
home in addition to the farm where
Cox was born. That was recently
bought back into the family after il
had been sold to outsiders. Cox has
had it restored to as nearly the same
as he remembers it as a boy.
