| speaking, the President is y. Sely and
highly esteemed. but the " asz feels

them selflshly and systematically in

| looks upon the agricultural West as q
stepchild. 1t is impossible to exag-
gerate the depth and bitterness of
! feeling on this score.
Even the fact that out of the

are Western men-EIoover, Work,
Kellogg, Davis WAR, Wilbur, JarGine
and New-fails to convince the open
spaces that the East is not in the

good deal Of complaint. too, that
President Coolidge has not taken the
trouble to acquaint himself with the
West at first hand.
Within a few months Washington
VIII make the acquaintance OF a new
Western movement" destined to
make last Winters corn belt crusade
insignificant by comparison. 1t will
take the field on Capitol Hill under
the name of the League of the Inter
mountain and Plain States" The
league was formed in September at
Denver. Its chief promoter is F. C.
Bonf1ls. publisher Of the influential
Republican Denver Post. Eventually,
the league hopes to have a group Of
20 MidweStern and Western States
marching shoulder to shoulder at
Washington on behalf of "a square
DEAL for the West. That would
represent a phalanx OF 40 United
States Senators and a corresponding
number of members of the House Of
Representatives.
The new league demands fairer
trea tment for the West in respect of
railroad rates. Water-power develop
ment. irrigation, reclamation and pub
lie lands. Particular stress is laid on
the administration of the public do
mains. The league will advocate a
strong States rights" policy for the
public domains and work for legisla-
ton to put the lands more exclusively
under the control Of the States and
less under the domination Of the Fed
eral Government.
The men clamoring for q more Just
recognition of the Vests rights and
interests are largely Republican. as
the States in question are. It is
hoped to keep those Commonwealths
safe for the G. o. P. but in the same
accents in which that desire is voiced
there is the ominous suggestion that
If the West cannot get what 1t wants
from the Republican party then the
day may come when the West will
make common cause with the Demo
cratic South for joint action at Wash.
ington. The League Of Intermountain
and Plain States has not gone that
far as vet, but its plans and programs
imply that the West would not shrink
from political elfhelp if there is no
hope OF "a square deal" under exist
ing conditions.
There is every sign at the beginning
of the final week of the campaign that
some Republican senatorial seats will
be lost in Western States. They will
be lost for the broad reasons herein
before set forth.
