FARMER NEEDS
MORE SUPPORT
Government Must Protest Agricul-
ture As It Does Other Lines,
Says George Peek.


Not until he is given protection
by the government In a measure
equal to that in which protection is
accorded industry will the Ameri-
can farmer be able to hold his own
aga inst the risks of competition
and price fiuctuation in other
lines
So declared George N. Peek. pres
ident of the Moline PloyF company,
speaking on Equality for Agricul-
ture" at the Moline Rotary club
luncheon yesterday.
Mr.. Peeks message carries sig
nificance for men engaged in all
lines of business since it represents
the answer to a weighfy problem
of which Mr.. Peek has given long
and careful study. His speech was
In substance as follows:
World prices determine Ameri-
can prices on the entire production
of every crop of which we export a
surplus and not on the surplus
alone, SO the farmer receives world
price for this crops, and no tariff
can prevent this.
Our system of government since
the beginning has been based on
the principle of protection by tariff.
Tariffs can and do protect what the
farmer buys and so the farmer buys
his supplies in a market protected
by a tariff, although he sells his
products in an unprotected world
market Thus, to whatever extent
tariff protection actually protects
the price of the things the farmer
buys he does not receive fair ex-
change value for his crops. IL he
lived in Liverpool, for example, he
would, because he would sell his
products in world markets and buy
his supplies in world markets. But
he lives in America where he sells
in a world market and buys his sup
plies in a protected market.
Industry is protected by the tar
iff and by its own organization, be-
cause it can withhold its surplus

FORMER CHIEF OF
POLICE BOETTCHER
ASKS JOB ON FORCE

Charles Boettcher, former chief
of Davenport police, has made
application to be placed on the
force as plain clothes man.
On April 10, 1920, when first ap-
pointed chief by Mayor Barewald,
he was granted a two years leave
of absence from his position as
plain clothes man. This was in
order that he might not lose his
place on the force at the expiration
of his term as chief Some time
ago Boettcher resigned as chief on
account of a disastrous auto ride
into the country. 1t is claimed by
some that his resignation termina-
ted his leave of absence. However,
he has applied for his old position,
asking to be assigned to duty April
10, when the two years will have
expired.
