CAPPER OKEHS
JOHNSON VOTE
Says Minnesota SWayed by
Protest OF Farmers
BY SENATOR ARTHUR cAPPER

Written for the Uuitod Press
TOPEKA. Kan. July 20~-The
Minnesota election Is a plain case OF
protest against deplorablc conditions
prevailing thru the agricultural
West. The farmer Is today com.
PEELED to take less than cost OF pro
duction for wheat and other farm
commodities while nearly everything
he buys Is stll sold at near war
prices.
Agricultural relief organization by
tho last congress did not consist Of
instantaneous pauaceas. but Of con-
structivo measures In which farmers
themselves must cooperate TO realize
on them. These efforts have not had
time 10 be tried cut and to produce
results.
In the meantime. Minnesota cleo.
tors. by their votes. have given no.
tice that profiteerine must stop. that
the perfectly evident economic
wrongs. Of which they are still vic.
Tins. must be righted Immediately.
and that the farmers dollar must be
worth as much as that OF anyone
else In It's purchasing power.
Two factors that believe had
great influence In the Minnesota
election and that farmers turnout
the West are greatly disturbed over
are high freight rates and excessive
tariff duties on necessities Of iifo.
The Minnesota vote Is notice II the
farmers demand for freight charges
that farm prices can pay. These
rates today are higher than the traf
fic will bear. 1t Is also a plain de-
rnand for further reduction in tariff
duties. The tariff commission and
the president must give relief under
the authority conferred by the Ford
ney.McCunber act or the next con
gress will promptly revise tho tariff
downward in way that will make
drastic reductions.
