WADSWORTH ON PRECEDENT

Precedent. previous usage, is a
powerful lever with which to move
sentiment and produce legisia ton
A bad precedent is one of the most
obstinately mischevous influences to
be combatted. Nothing affords a
greater test of the usefulness of a
public man, a lawmaker or leader OF
thought than his ability to foresee
and choose the good precedent.
In speaking on the bonus bill Sena-
tor Wadsworth had this to say about
precedent
You simply say that no matter
where the man served, no matter
what the character of his service
vas. whether it was in the front line
trench or at an office desk here in

cash payment and can have it if
he asks for it,

FAVORABLE AGRICULTURAL
OUTLOOK FOR YEAR 102s

In telegram to the editor Of a
western agricultural paper, Secretary
Henry c. Wallace made the following
encouraging statement:
THE agricultural outlook for 1929 is
favorable. We should see marked i'm
provement over conditions as they
nave existed this year. Time will be
required for full recovery, but we have
reached the bottom and are on the up
grade. The most important things
farmers should work for are the per-
lection Of their cooperative selling or
ganizations with view to putting
the marketing ct farm products on. a
thoroughly sound business basis. and
the careful study of needs of the COM
sumer and Intelligent adjustment at
production to these needs" st.
