TARIFF IS ASKED
Head Of Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton Appeals to Coolidge
for Higher Rates.
Rr th. Assocla.ed Presa.

Ey the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November Sam H.
thompson, president of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, appealed TO
President Coolidge today in behalf Of
higher tariff rates on corn.
Agricultural interests have appealed
for an increase from Is to 22ia cents
a bushel import duty. and the President
has before him a report of the Tariff
Commission on the petition.
American producers OF corn.
Americas greatest crop, are vitally con-
cernsd in your decision regarding their
1eouest for increased duty" Thompson
telecraphed the President. Available
data indicates that maximum increase
permissible under flexible provision
would fail to edualize advantage Ar
gentine corn now enjoys In our mar
Kots. Strongly advise that duty be in
creased so per cent
Thompson said Argentine diplomatic
representatives had brought pressure
to bear against the prOposed advance.
which would chiefly affect American
importation of Argentine corn.
"On Argentine corn landed at San
Francisco Thompson explained, IF
the duty was increased so per cent.
there still would be differential of
10 s-10 cents per bushel in favor Of
the imported corn, even when trans
portation and marketing costs were in
GUIDED in the estimates
American corn farmers are not ask
ing for any discrimination against
Argentina nor are they asking for any
competitive advantage in domestic
markets What they want is an equal
ization of production costs with those
of Argentina In this respect consid-
Grafton should. feel, be given to Amer
lean producers before all others"

CLEVELAND. Ohio, November a.
propped up in bed at his homs in
Shaker Heights, where he has been
confined with an attack Of neuritis.
Newton D. Baker. Secretary of War
under President Wilson, today penciled
terse plea for the election Of Gov.
Alfred E. Smith
In about 600 words Mr.. Baker sum-
married. his observations Of the presi-
dental campaign and expressed brIeay
the sentiment which he had planned to
convey in a series of speeches bcfcre
Illness forced him TO cancel his plans
His statement follows in part:
The striking thing about this CAM
paign is that the two great parties are
running true to form. One of ten
hears it said that there really Is no diff
Democratic parties and the Platforms
this year might be exchanged without
much confusion But the campaigns
have developed the historic and funda-
mental difference.
Taking Prosperity.
THE Republicans are still talking
prosperity, the full dinner pail. the iull
garage and pure materialisn. The
Democrats are still talking human do
erty ana equality of opportunity. The
issue is domination by the technically
trained Mr.. Hoover OF leadership by the
deeply understanding Gov. Smith.
In q sense we are about TO weigh
candidates and platforms, but IN far
larger sense We are about to weigh our
selves and determine whether we. as a
people. want. and are fit to govern or
prefer and are only fit to be governed.
IF we really believe that the Pope is
waiting outside the New York Harbor
in one Of his battleships.
IF We really believe that the Repub-
licans have some magic for the creation
Of prosperity,
"If we really believe that arbitrary
prohibition, with all the corruption
= it has brought. is a scientific
way to deal with an age-old problem.
IF we really believe that a higher
tariff will help the farmer.
IF VIC believe these things We shall be
very lucky. indeed, to find SO eflcient
man as Mr.. Hoover to govern us un-
til We learn better.
Under Leadership"
But IL We have passed beyond these
things and want to share in the
processes Of Government under a lead
ership which will oling the issues into
the open.
IF we want that leadership to be
based upon deep ana sympathetic
understanding the hopes of the ccr1-
mon man
IF VIC feel that governm ,nt by the
best minds broke down in 1921 and
hat we ourselves can do better Job
than Fall and his crew
IF We believe these things we could
find no more inspired or interesting
leader than Gov. Smith"
