BY EDWARD c. LOWRY.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Aril II.
Two matters of public interest are
beginning to engross the attention OF
all of this Western country. One of
them is whether the powers Of the
War Finance Corporation, which ex-
pire by law or July l next. will be
continued in the present organization
or whether some substitute agency
will be set up. The other is. whether
the forest service Will be trans
ferred from the Department of Agri-
culture to the Department Of the In
terror. as suggested by Secretary
Fall.
The matter Of the continuance of the
War Finance Corporation will provide
an interesting and important debate.
Every where that we have been, from Des
Moines right round the circle. through
the Middle West, the West. the South
west and the Pacific Coast. the question
has been asked by stock raisers and
farmers: VIII we again be able to bor-
row money from the Government when
we need it? They have wanted TO know
whether the War Finance Corporation
viii be continued with Its present organ
ization or whether some agency cf the
Government. such "a the Farm Land
Board or the Federal Reserve System,
would be empowered. In times Of emer-
gency, to make advances TO the agri-
cultural and livestock interests. That
is n question for Congress to decide. An
urgent demand will be made upon It
TO decide in the affirmative. Whether 1t
is part of wisdom to make such affir-
native decision is a matter for consider
alton and discussion.
If the agricultural and livestock inter
ests are to be relieved with Government
money In times Of stress, the next step
Will be to relieve the lumber and mining

SOLVING The
'''' N FARM m PROBLEM.
BY T. F. PECK,
Commissioner of Agriculture.

I have been reading comments on
the agricultural situation, sugges-
tions for its Improvements and crit
icism Of some of the remedies pro-
posed, as class legislation.
The farmers, as class, do not
ask for class legislation. They are
asking for special favors, but they
are asking for legislation that will
put their industry on an equal foot
ing with other industries. We hear
much about the farm bloc in Con
gress and violent criticism for it.
We have had lobbyists in Congress
and in State Legislatures from prac-
tically every other interest in the
country, as long as we have had
such institutions, working for legis-
lation favorable to their several in
terests, and nobody tore their hair
in protest.
Now, because agriculture must
have the consideration it is entitled
to or not only agriculture, but every
other industry dependent upon it
for life, will be seriously affected
and some broad minded statesmen
and leaders who appreciate the
handicaps to agriculture, get their
heads together on program to re
lieve the situation and they are sub
iected to criticism as being radicals
