FARM RELIEF COMING

Farm relief at the coming
session of Congress is inpera-
tive. Such were the words this
week Of Senator Borah of idaho,
an opinion expressed after in
terviews with informed persons
in travels from Chicago, west
to the Pacific coast. 1hey ars
in line only with an idea agri-
cultural leaders have had since
the last failure of the Haugen-
McNary bill to be enacted lntc
law.
agriculture knows that it
rigaCIully asks and expects the
same federal aid, protection
American manufacturers or O.
cher industries enjoying a high
tariff. That agriculture means
10 attain it's objective was tho
roughly demonstrated at the
st. Paul Conference of agricul,
tural leaders this summer.
While capital always yields
a powerful hand when opposed
to an issue, in this particular
instance the forces are divided
and for q very good reason, nam
ely that there are manufactur-
crs with vision enough to sec
and know that agriculture must
be put on q sound basis for the
nations prosperity to be econ
omically sound.
The nid-Western manufacture
er. closer than his Eastern bro
ther to the seat of trouble, is in
many instances now advocating
the passage OF a farm relief bin
as sponsored by agriculture
Evidence Of this comes in re-
ports OF an interview with Paul
Z. Beich, q candy manufacturer
OF Bloomington, ILL.,, president
OF the illinois Manufacturing
Association. which was broad.
casted quite generally last week.
Mr. Beich said: we must help
the farmer. He works hard and
gets less for his toll than almost
anyone else in this land Of Pros
perity and luxury"
