INSURANCE FOR FARM CROPS

The great risk Of the farmers take
in raising their crops has finally come
to the attention Of our law makers
and bill has been introduced in Con.
gressman by Hon. Edward King, of
Illinois, authorizing the establish
ment of a bureau of farm risk insur-
ance in the Treasury Department.
The bill provides for the establish
ment Of the bureau, allows director
at $4,000 per year, and states that
the bureau shall, as soon as practi-
cable, make provision for the insur-
ance by the United States Of growing
crops of nonperishable products
against loss or damage by the ac-
ton Of the elements.
Losses would be paid promptly, and
in case Of disagreement as to claims
the claimant would have the right to
take the case itno any United States
district court. A revolving fund of
$1O,OOO,000 to inaugurate the system
is provided, as we'll as 100000 to
cover the expenses Of the bureau dur
ing its initial year of operation.
In advocating the passage of the
bill Mr.. King said:
"Mr. Speaker, agriculture is the
only industry that can not obtain in
surance, and in view of the great
hazard surrounding farming, the pri-
mary interest of the Nation is making
certain that it's people have sufficient
to eat, and the discouraging, if not
production today, l most earnestly
urge favorable consideration of this
bill"

McADOO GOES WEST

Horace Greeley, the famous editor
Of the New York Tribune. advised
young men to go west and grow up
with the country" His advice was
followed by thousands who did go
West and helped to build up that
great Western Empire.
1t oan hardly be said that Hon.
William G. McAdoo has gone to Cali
fSrnia to grow up with the country as
he is pretty well grown. However,
Mr.. McAdoo and his wife have arriv-
ed in Los Angelus and they will make
their home in the beautiful land of
Sunshine and of Flowers.
Mr.. McAdoo when on the eve of
leaving New York for California was
interviewed by the Associated Press
when he made very frank statement
of his plans. He said:
II am simply going to Los Angeles
to make my home because Mrs. Nc
Adoo and like the climate and the
country. expect to hang out my
shingle and practice law just as have
been doing since left my office at
Washington"
1t is in answer to "call of the
ild" that he will go west. Mr.. Nc
Adoo confessed-"the great open
spaces where one can ride and climb
and swim whenever the heart de-
sires- and still keep on with the
business Of life.
My work in connection with tho
Hudson tunnel, followed by six siren,
uous years in the United States treas
ury, with the additional burden of
being director general of railroads,
sapped my vitality. When left the
treasury. Mrs. McAdoo and took a
three weeks vacation in the West and
my vitality returned. Ever since then
l have wanted to make my home
there.
II want to feel broncho between
my knees, again and go exproring' in
the mountains. believe with Admi-
raj Grayson, Mr.. Wilson's physician,
that the outside Of horse is good
for the inside of a man."
1t is not a violent presumption that
when the Democrats seek candidate
as successor to President Harding
they too will "go west" and find a
winning nominee in the person of the
War Secretary of the Treasury.
