remedies, we consolidate our forces
under a unified leadership, in one
direction. We need farm program,
not a motley collection of pet pro-
posals presented by separated and
warning groups.
Such a program must recognize
that American agriculture cannot be
established on permanently prosper
Gus basis until production bears some
relation to domestic consumption. We
have been worrying about the foreign
market for wheat and cotton, and
we have accepted price for those
products below the cost of production,
while we have failed to produce the
flax and butter and beef and cheese
and rice needed to meet domestic re-
uuirements. Why raise 2O0,OOO,OOO
bushels more wheat than we can con-
sumo and let the exportable surplus
depress the price on the part OF the
crop needed at home, when nearly
every acre devoted to wheat might
weld fax, of which we import large
quantities? We could at least save
the cost of getting the wheat to Liver
pool and the cost of getting the flax
back if we exported no wheat and
imported no fax. :,
An agricultural program should
also include revision of the tariff on
manufactured products that the Tar
mer buys; not so drastic as to allow
large importations, throw labor out OF
employment and thus destroy the
home market for food products, but
drastic enough to compel reduction
in the prices charged by American
manufacturers under the protection OF
a tariff wall that is altogether too
high. The American farmer would
be lust as well off with dollar wheat
and $3.50 binders as he would be with
81 so wheat and 1925 binders. Seven
cent pork and 500 suits of clothes
would be as acceptable as ten-cent
pork and $35 clothing.
An agricultural program should IN
clude demand for further and more
drastic reductions in federal, state
and local taxes; a firm insistance
that the machinery of government be
made as simple, efficient and econ
omical as possible; and the elimina-
ton from the public pay-rolls Of all
those who fill non-essential political
Jobs. A dollar an acre is the limit OF
what the farmer can pay in taxes und-
er present conditions is confiscatory
An agricultural program should in
clude demand that the federal and
state rural credits systems be operat-
ed as economically as possible and
with the minimum of red-tape, in ord
er that loans may be had promptly
and at rates of interest as near as
possible to cost to the government
The purpose of government credit
systems is not to give the farmer
more credit, for, like most other peo-
pie he is suffering today primarily
because he has had too much credit
in the past. The purpose of govern
ment credit systems is to secure low
er interest rates and more favorable
terms than the farmer can receive
from the loan companies, and if the
government cannot do this, it should
get out of the business. There can be
no question, however, that the govern
ment can do it, and will do it.
An agricultural program would moi
be complete unless it provided for 9

keting idea. The work of Aaron
Sapiro, which is conspicuous among
cooperative efforts among agrlcultuf-
al producers, demonstrates what can
be accomplished when farmers get
control of their own marketing ma
chinery. There is serious question,
however, if the farmers OF the wheat
areas Of the country, scattered as
they are over a fourth of the country,
can be gotten together unless the
government itself furnishes the lead
ership in effecting their organization.
The farmers have too often been VIC
timized by promoters who placed their
own profits above the welfare of the
people they assumed to help, and there
is not only confusion on account OF
uncertainty as to who the honest
leaders of the farmers are, but an in
creasing disposition to be skeptical
of all leaders. 1t is becoming quite
evident that the government itself is
the only organization that can so
command the confidence of all the
farmers as to organize them into
units large enough to control the pro-
duction and marketing of wheat, cot
ton, beef and pork. There is nothing
radical in the suggestion that the
government furnish such leadership.
Conservative Denmark did it a gen.
GRAFTON ago, and Denmark has reach

development among the nations of the
world.

by the farmers themselves, through
which they can determine the cost OF
production, bargain collectively tc
secure that cost plus a reasonable

JOCK BU WELL
Il YEARS IN
SADDL |
Crack Pilot Stradd died His First
Mount Way Back
In 1907.

NEW YORK, March 16.--Jimmy
ButWell is a striking exception to
the rule that "a Jockeys life II a
short and merry one.'
For Butwell, just starting his
seventeenth year as horse pilot,
still ranks among the greatest in
the game, and, because Of the fact
that he has been engaged to ride
for the powerful Salmon stables dur
ing 1928, has the chance to win an
other championship.
Butwell straddled his first mount
back i'm 1907, an era when Sloan,
Garrison, Miller and all the others
were satellites Of the horse world.
They have faded and gone. except
from memory. Hundreds of others
have come, dazzled with their bril-.
lance for a while, and then flickered
and went out.
Butwell remains.
Through sixteen complete years of
riding, ButwelI has had 6,519 mounts
and driven 1912 to triumph, for
the remarkable winning average OF
. 20. He ran second 1.218 times and
was third on 1,0O5 other occasions.
In other words. he was "in the
money" 1886 times and out of it
only on 2,984 occasions.
Butwell earned $1,.342,55 for the
owners of his mounts in the sixteen
years mot including his New Orleans
work in 1929. In 1920 he achieved
his ambition. winning the riding
title by riding 152 winners in 721
starts and $216,742 in money.
How have you managed to re-
main jockey for so long?" Butwell
was asked.
by playing square with myself, -
was his answer.

Electoral College May Cause
Ford to Stumble at
Finish.
SENATOR RAPS HANDICAP
Would Rid Country of Present
System of Voting for
President.
BY JOHN CARSON,
Times STAFF Correspondent

wv 7ASHINGTON, June 29.-Be-
w tween Henry Ford and the
presidency stands the electoral
college.
If Ford is an independent candidate
in 1924, the one thing that will con-
tribute more to his defeat, or less to
his victory, will be this old instrument,
a nullity except in an hour Of political
Instruction.
In Ford's case, this statement may
be a little stronger than is warranted,
but Col. Theodore Roosevelt felt the
burden of the electoral college and
Roosevelt had a well-organized party
behind him.
Senator Norris is seeking a constitu-
tional amendment Kidding the coun-
try of the electoral college. Norris
insists the only thing the college"
does is to hamper any Independent
movement for the presidency.
by getting rid of the electoral COL
lege, we'd have the name Of the presi-
Dental candidates printed on the bal
lot" Norris explains.
THAT would permit an independent
CdnuludIe " run OF the presidency.
Under the electoral college system,
the name Of the candidate does not
go on the ballot. Names of the cleo
tors do. Now, if an independent can
didate arises, he must first organize to
get electors in every State and then,
more than that, he must educate or
acquaint the voters with the fact they
are his electors, that by voting for
these certain individuals, they'll vote
for him.
Under this handicap, 1 don't think
there's much chance for independent
candidates. But, for instance, had
Hiram Johnson's name been on the
ballot in 1920, think there may have
been a good chance for his election.
