chairman of the committee on agri-
culture and forestry of the United
States senate, and one of the most
able senators in Washington, has en-
dorsed Wellington D. Rankin for gov

Hon. Wellington D. Rankin,
Attorney at Law,
Helena, Mont.
My Dear Mr.. Rankin
Am glad to be advised of your can
didaey for governor of Montana, and
| wish you abundant success.
Your record of accomplishments in
public life is eommendable and of an
unusually high character. At all
times you have shown a deep SYM
pathy and kindly interest in the
perplexing farm problem which for a
number of years has occupied the at
tention of congress and the public.
Your views on public questions are
progressive and definite, and | be-
speak for you the generous support of
the voters of your state.

/ aequit my colleagues on the Platform
Committee of anything more than the
earnest presentation of a great nation
al issue.
There is farm problem, but before
We come to the immediate proposition
which seems to divide us, let me call
your attention to some of the features
of that problem with which We have
to deal, and with which we are pro
posing to deal.
The American farmer at the close
of the war was paying one-third of his
entire income, less other expenses,
for taxes. He was paying from TO
10 per cent more of ration of taxes
than any other member Of the COM
munity.
The farmer is the most heavily tax
ed individual of the American COM
munity today. In 1922 to 1924 and
1925 the farmers tax burden equal
led the entire worth or value of his
wheat crop. That is one of the first
problems with which we have to deal,
for under this creeping paralysis no
industry can survive eunless It is re-
lieved. No scheme can save the far
mer if he must carry this super-hu-
man burden.
Who has fought more intelligently,
more persistently, more courageous
" and somewhat more lonely for the
reduction of taxes upon all classes OF
people, including the farmer, than
Calvin Coolidge9
The next great problem IN this ag-
ricultural question is TO enable the
American farmer to reach the Ameri-
can market without being robbed on
the way. In 1922, emitting one or
two articles, consumers Of American
products paid twenty-five billion five
hundred million dollars for the prod
uets OF the farm. Gu. Of this the far
mer got only seven Dillon fire hun
ires million dollars. Si4,59o. DO was
taken Up somewhere on tie way be
tween the time Il LETT the farm and +
he time i reached tie Ultimate con- +
sumer.
Experts who have studied the ques-
ion say that a least seven 70 eight
lillion dollars are wasted IN the pres
nj system OF marketing the farm
.r0duets, which under proper sys-
en- ought 70 go into the pockets OF
~ merriam farmer
There is now pending in Congress
I the United States q bill suggested
nd endorsed BY the Secretary Of Com
lerce, introduced BY Republican
enator, reported by Republican
Committee, and now ready for pas
age, which undertakes to deal with !
lis problem.
Il the American farmer could have :
fair and just marketing system, :
Inside Of one or two products, the
ntire farm problem would be settled. !
md the Republican party is pledged
0 deal with the subject. It has al
eady begun to deal with the subject. ;
Again, Mr. Chairman and ladies and :
of the Convention, the Am
rican farmer is not properly and suf- +
GENTLY protected in the home market.

that while there may be those who
have been willing and are willing to
play politics with this question, the
able men who presented this matter
to the Committee on Platform did not
pplay politics with it. They were men
of deep convictions, of extraordinary
ability, and representing a cause in
which they most sincerely believe.

PLANE CARRIER
NEEDS CITED

Additional aircraft mother ships
and carriers to the fleet were urged
upon Congress Yesterday by Rear
Admiral W. A. Moffett, chief of the
Navy's bureau of aeronautics, as
vital to the naval air service.
In his annual report Admiral MOI
fett said the need of mother ships
is still "most acute" He recon-
mended that at least one and pre-
ferably two naval vessels be con-
verted for this purpose.
Admiral Moffett also declared that
the need for aircraft repair ships
is becoming more apparent and cited
the situation in the Asiatic where
the Navy has no repair facilities
and is "prohibited by treaty from
establishing any such facilities on
shore"
Under the existing arrangement
aircraft in need of repair or over
haul is shipped from the Aslatlc
station to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and
when the 1000-plane program Is tur-
ther along the situation will become
even more acute.
Moffett reported that the tlVe'
year building program authorized by
Congress is progressing faVor2blF
and said that Continued adherence
to this program will bring naval
aviation to it's authorized stren%th
in accordance with the program.

WORKERS PARTY
!. STILL GAINS

MOSCOW, Dec. 12.-The Com
munist party this year increased its
membership by 10 per cent.
This was the largest increase in
any year since the Red revolution
in Soviet Russia more than 10
years ago.
The Communist party now num-
bers 1,418,000 members of whom IS
per cent. or nearly 100000, are
women.
Communists comprise 3 per cent
of the adult male and female popu-
lation in Russia.
The most significant fact Of the
Increased membership is that 95
per cent of all the recruits are
laborers. 1t means that government
of the party and the State is more
and more passing into the hands
of the workers who compromise
only about IS per cent of the coun.
try's population.
1t also is significant that the
number of employers and profes
sional men in the party dropped
from 264.000 to 1919 900.
The Trotzky "oppositioners"-th
faction opposing the present Mos.
cow regime-were mostly white
collar Communists, yet it is i'm.
probable that such a large number
of persons We're expelled from the
ranks during the year.

NO|SEFUL SILK
UNDER BAN

HOLLYWOOD. Dec. 12.-How the
mighty have fallen! There used to
be much talk of the rustic of silk.
1t connotated wealth, luxury, aris-
tocracy. Now silk Is taboo because
it rustles. Snap on the head and
listen in. Alfred Santell, director,
broadcasting.
THE faintest sound on the 'talkie'
stage thunders through the talking
apparatus and registers on the film.
Costumes have to be made of the
softest fabrics to prevent swishing
reports coming through the noise
boxes. Styles will demand the silent,
soft chiffons and satins instead Of
the raucous taffetas and brocades.
"Silk hose and boomers report
out loud on the finished picture.
Girls on the sound stage will have
to go back to the old cotton stock
ing of farm days or strut without
hose. Even silk underwear gives
out a rustic"
All of which means that perform.
ers in the "talkies" will have to
wear noiseless clothes. Here's what
saftorial experiments have revealed:
Robert Armstrong was obliged TO
discard corduroy trousers while
working in a desert scene. They
were too loud. He wore wooden
knickers in the audible sequences.
Russell Gleason, playing detective,
had to take the silk lining from his
coat and substitute cotton.
Performers with long hair are not
allowed to shuttle across a brussels
carpet. The crackle Of the hair is

port issued by the Eyesight Con-

lowing a survey of the eyesight of
motorists in the United States. Only
II States, the report declares. now

1t is declared that poor eyes are
becoming a contributing cause to an
increasing number of automobile ac-
cidents, of which $4,000 resulted in
fatalities last year. Motor vehicle

chiefs in 68 cities were unanimous,

against paying hotel bills, and

says he must find time to dash over
