They were brought about by policies OF the Demo
cratic administration. American agriculture has
seldom experienced worse conditions than it
faced in the spring and summer of 1921.
The first concern of the Republican admins
~tration was relief from those conditions. To
supply the need for ready money and temporary
credit, the War Finance corporations powers
were extended to make emergency loans, and it
loaned to agricultural and livestock interests at
the rate of over a million dollars a day for over
a year.
To stop the importation of farm and dairy
products and protect the home market of the
if was enacted. Relief due to this legislation was
Immediate.
Under this Republican administration more
constructive legislation has been
enacted in behalf of farming interests chan ever
before in the history of the United States.
The federal banking system has been reorgan-
lied so that today the farmer and livestock man
can obtain needed credits on terms even more
liberal than mercantile interests are granted.

two pieces of legislation enable the grain farmer
to market his products in an orderly manner in
stead of being compelled to dispose of them i'm.
mediately after harvest at a sacrifice.
Another important piece of legislation design.
ed to assist the farmer in profitably marketing
his products was the cooperative marketing act.
Other outstanding agricultural legislation was
the packers and stockyards act, the grain flu.
lures act, the filled milk bill and the butter
act.
1t should be emphasized that the Republican
administration enacted all legislation requested
and by representatives of reliable
farm organizations. Further establishments to
relieve some phases of agriculture seem neces-
sary. They are now being worked out by Presi-
dent Coolidge and his cabinet. Representatives
of the agricultural sections needing relief are
being called into conference with the president
for the purpose of formulating a practical, help.

The agricultural interests realize that in every

the sound, progressive policies of the Republican
party.

Agriculture Recovering From
Bankrupfcy

with the exception OF the wheat farmer, all
agricultural interests are in much better condi-
tiop than at any time during the last three years,
and the prospects are growing brighter.
It WAS three years ago this fall that egricul-
ture suddenly found itself in distress. Practi-
cally without any warning credits were restrict.
ed at the very time the 1920 harvest came into
market. This harvest had been produced at peak
cost.
During the war and following, the Democratic
administration urged the farmer to put forth
every energy and use every resource to produce
the maximum 1t was in response to this call of
the government that agricultural interests had
made large investments and purchased cxten.
sive equipment, often mourning tremendous lia.
bilities in doing so.
The sudden restriction OF agricultural credits
doubly embarrassed the farmer because the re.
~striction of credit in other lines Immediately les,
sened the demand for farm products with the re.
suit the farmers had no market for their high
priced crops and faced n demand for payment
OF their debts.
At the same time depression overlook the in.
dustrihl world. which directly affected the pros.
perity of millions and their purchase of farm
products. Moreover, imports OF farm and dairy
products under the Underwood tariff, then in
effect, were causing a break in prices at the pri
mary markets.
These conditions all existed at the time the Re
publican party came into power in March, 1921

Who Balled Up the Railroads

Henry Ford and William G. McAdoo, eminent
democratic statesmen are in n red hot argument
to settle the point as to whether William when
director general of railroads during the war
.balled up the transportation lines himself or
permitted the big interests to do the job. Henry
the roads were gloriously balled up,
in which view the entire country concurs.
William denies that there was any balling up
by himself or by anybody else.
While the argument proceeds the bystanding
public agrees that Henry's effort to get the boys
out of the trenches by Christmas 1914, and vii.
.liam's effort to direct the railroads during the
period of government control are a standoff. The

Disposing of 1t. Traitors

The good work continues in union labor circles
in its declared purpose of Kidding itself of rad
icals. This time the action occurs in Nebraska.
and it strikes right at the fountain source. The
official organ of the organization. The organ
that is presumed to speak for and represent or.
.ganized labor in that state, its ambitions and
its hopes.
The Nebraska State Federation Of Labor after
an investigation by proper committee and a sur
vey of its findings withdrew its endorsement and
support from the Midwest Labor News. Stat
ing that the views published by the newspaper
were entirely at variance with the aims of or
gained labor and misrepresentation of them.
The publication is tainted with the same poison
as Delegate Dunn of Butte who is also a pub
fisher and who suffered a revocation of his right
to sit in a national labor convention and was
branded a traitor to labor's cause-preaching
the doctrine of one big union.
Organized labor has made a good start in ex-
polling its radicals, its traitors and those who
misrepresent il. 1t will finally get them all, and
when it does it will be enabled to hold its head
high and come into any future controversies with
employees that may arise, with clean hands and
greater public sympathy.
