widely commented upon by men of ma

the Non-Partisan League is an ardent
advocate Of the principle of state own

upon the present Federal Reserve re-
discount system and prosper.
The incoming Secretary of Agricul-
ture has made very clear that the pol
icy of the Department during the next
four years will favor systematic de.
relopment of cooperative marketing
organizations, His policy will be TO
put agriculture upon a paying basis as
policy Of national preparedness.
President Harding himself has come
