little opportunity to give their time
and attention to the operation of
their roads. They've been too busy
compiling statistics and preparing
arguments to be submitted to various
commissions, committees, boards and
bureaus. What they want now is a
little chance to run their roads.
And the whole country is in pretty
much the same mood. The idea that
the ills of the country can be cured
by legislation is not as prevalent as
it was few years back. Moreover,
the people Of the country are fed
up on the theory that the best thing
to do is to "let the government do it,"
, They are more and more taken to
the notion that less government in
business is a pretty good policy.
The farmer practically got his fill Of
government regulation when the Will
son administration made the con-
gressional guaranteed price of wheat
a maximum price and paid him less
for his crop. Not in any respect has
government price fixing proven sat-
| isfactory.
Regulation to the extent of pre-
venting fraud and injustice have
proven beneficial, but the whole coun-
try wants relief from bureaucratic
control of the operation of business.

LEGISLATIVE PANACEAS

Both President Coolidge and Aaron Shapiro, leader IN
the field of cooperative marketing in accord that
Legislative needed to stabilize agriculture
but better business methods in marketing and general
ganizaon of the industry Delegates to the convention OF
representatives of the various cooperative associations were
enthusiastic for any of the pending be-
fore congress for the relief of farmers.
Here in North Dakota the stock arguments of the aga
who lily advised farmers to hold their wheat when
they should have sold it have very limited audience now
Many who have been loaded down with stock selling
and foolish enterprises awake to the situation
and they realize that by the application of sound business
principles and working in cooperation with the banker and
merchant, they build up better and responsive
market than be accomplished through high sounding
and eXtravagant theories.
Assistance in the establishment of better conditions at
terminal markets. strict regulation of grain grading acts
and other steps in the marketing of farm products will net
greater returns to the farmer than multiplicity of laws
and class legislation.
The Republican administration through the trade COM
mission and the department of agriculture do more to
stabilize conditions than legislation to merely tenn
porary condition.
President Coolidges insistence that action have
careful thought and far reaching study before becoming
effective is most wise.
