CONGRESSMAN CARL HAYDEN SPEAKS 1T
 .KI IWANIS LUNCHEON

The tariff, Pima cotton, and the Bankhead highway. each of which was discussed by an authority, were the themes brought to the attention of the members of the Kiwanis club yesterday during a meeting which was brimful of information and which enlisted the interest of almost 150 members and guests for an hour and half. The speaker of the day was Congressman Carl Hayden, who outlined briefly but succinctly the policy of the present national gov ernment with regard to the tariff. and sketcned in an interesting fashion the changes in thought with regard
 to the tariff question which have I been brought about within the last | few years.
 .aThe tine has arrived" Congress- man Hayden said, '.when, instead of coddling the manufacturing interests of the country, we shall have to con- slider the welfare of the producer. The population of the United States
 has become top-heavy, with the city population out-numbering that Of the l country. This condition must be l changed by the providing of proper
 credit system for farmers. by utiliza- tion of the waste lands of the country and by the coordination Of all povernment activities toward a 1 definite land policy.
 aAn attempt is now being made to l evolve from the deliberations Of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States and the American Federation l of Labor. both of which organizations I have turned their attention to the l problem, legislation which will meet | the needs of the day with regard to the producers and the land. We must stimulate agriculture. Within z0
 years the population of the United l States will be 140, ,000, 900, with S5,- I OOo 0Oo' living in the cities and 55.- ! 900, 900 in the country This condl- I tion is a dangerous one, and the aim
 of the government now has become
 to the producer, since the manufac- I turer has not only demonstrated that
 he can exist without tariff, but has
 actually demanded that any tariff foI
 the protection of finished goods bt done away with. This change in at
 titude has been brought about by the fact that the manufacturers of the
 country have entered into world } competition, and they fear retaliatory
 measures if we build wall against ! the admission of foreign goods. Congressman Hayden ended his re- I marks QY dllc W 6i HIS o AAaAAAbSA VI
