Jardine Urges Cooperation

In an address delivered at the Master Farmers
dinner in Oklahoma City Friday night, W.. NJ. Jardine.
secretary Of the U. S. Department Of Agriculture,
emphasized the necessity for extension of the cooper
tive movement throughout the agricultural areas. At
ter pointing out the benefits industry and labor have
derived through organization and cooperation, he as
serted that the same benefits would accrue to the agri-
cultural interests if they were similarly organized. He
also stressed the fact that the American farmers, as a
class, are not meeting the demands Of the public in
the production Of quality products, asserting that the
farmer. like the automobile manufacturer, who pro-
duces quality products, is practically assured a profit
able market.
The secretary Of agriculture is an ardent advocate
of commodity cooperatives. In this connection he
stated in his Oklahoma City address: Il urge the COM
modify cooperatives, whereby the community organiza-
tions of producers of a given commodity shall be fed
Grated in a state and national organization that by rea-
son of its size and efficient management will have def
mite bargaining power. At the same time such an or
ganization will be able to advise its members as to
changes in demand, not only in this country but
throughout the world. 1t does not require for success
every producer Of a given commodity, but a reasonable
proportion Of the major producers Of the commodity"
Secretary Jardine states that the cooperative
movement is not a threat to the consumer and should
not be construed as such. 1t is merely a plan whereby
the spread between what the farmer receives and the
consumer pays will be lessened. 1t is a plan whereby
prices of farm products will be stabilized, assuring a
proIltaDle market Tor the farmer and q falr price 10
the consumer.
~The consumer does not get by any means the
full temporary advantage that might accrue from a
falling mavket. The advantage is absorbed largely by
other people. The consumer is p%rofited best by an
agriculture which is stable, sound and prosperous,
which is able to buy steadily the products Of American
manufacturers" Mr.. Jardine said.
Secretary Jardine urged the eighteen Master
Farmers, in whose honor the dinner was given, to aid
In the establishment Of cooperative organizations in
their respective communities and states. He gave
them the assurance that the Department Of Agrieul-
ture would extend all possible aid in working out the
problems Of the respective communities, and that one
Of the principal detectives Of the department this year
would be the establishment Of commodity cooperatives
throughout all rural sections.
The secretary is decidedly optimistic in regard to
the advancement that will be made during 1928 in the
general development of the cooperative movement and
predicts that if the agricultural interests can be or
ganized upon the same basis as industry and labor the
agricultural sections will eventually attain prosperity
such as they have never before experienced.

The stream Of gold expected to flow into the cof-
fers Of the University Of Texas from the interest on
its permanent endowment fund has been reduced to
a meager trickle. Oil royalties from the university
land have brought the fund up to 100000 From
this rather impressive fortune the institution has re-
ceived during the past three years a net income of
$4,000. The explanation is that under the ~constitu-
ton the university's permanent endowment fund, to
which the courts have ruled the income from oil royal
ties must be applied, can only be invested in bonds of
the state of Texas or Of the United States. No state
bonds being on the market, the fund has had to be in
vested in government bonds. Premiums paid in order
to obtain government bonds have reduced the gross in
come of $2OS,374 to a mere S3sy000. 1t is a very dis
appointing turn of affairs, particularly in coincidence
with the depressed price for crude oil which just now
is reducing the income from royalties. OF course,
government bonds are the acme of security-but there
are plenty Of other bonds in which the university
could more p~rofitably invest but for the constitution
al restriction. For example, there is q fairly steady
supply of municipal and county securities paying 5 per
cent which can be bought without an excessive prem
ium. We hesitate to propose a constitutional amend
ment, but it seems plain that the university fund
could be made more productive with no sacrifice of
safety if the constitution permitted wider latitude in
its investment.

The World and All
IN NEW YORK
By Charles p. Driseon

Visitors to New York who expect to be met by
relatives or friends at the railway terminals often are
the innocent causes of much confusion. 1t is not so
simple to meet a passenger at the New York terminals
as it is to meet them at the Union Station in the aver
age home town.
Anyone coming to New York TO visit relatives who
are to be on hand to greet the travellers upon their ar
rival should unfailingly telegraph, giving plenty Of in
formation. 1t is not enough TO say, Coming on Num-
Der Ten tomorrow"
Train numbers do not mean much to New York
ers, although in the smaller towns most Of the inhab-
itants know the trains by number. And besides, you
are very likely to have the number wrong. 4 train
that starts out from Chicago as Number Ten, for in
stance, arrives at Grand Central terminal as Number
Thirty-eight, to my certain knowledge.
Always give your New York relative, whom you
are coming to visit, the hour Of arrival. precisely.
Also the road you are arriving on, which may be diff
ferent from the one YOU are starting on. Also, II pos
sible, the number Of your Pullman car and berth. With
this Information the relative can find you.
The reason why number of car and berth are al
most essential is that many trains arrive in several
sections at the same time. and passengers detrain
through different gates from the different sections.
Numbers of the Pullman cars are posted at the gates,
and the host whose prospective guest has wired the
number Of his Pullman is able, by referring to these
numbers, to wait at the proper gate.
There is nothing very terrible about being lost in
the big city, however. It is easy to become lost in one
Of the big terminals, but it is also not too difficult to
become found again. Any porter or uniformed per-
son can direct the lost one to the Travellers Aid desk,
where a pleasant, competent, efficient woman will
tender the best Of assistance If the visitor knows the
name OF his or her prospective host, the chances are
good that the Travellers Aid will find him.
Going to a telephone directory will often confuse
an excited stranger, for the director is in several vol
umes, and a stranger may miss the person sought,
even after scanning all the volumes in sight.

Moody to Seek Reelection

That Governor Moody will seek reelection is the
unanimous opinion of close frineds Of the youthful
chief executive of Texas, who assert that the governor
has no intention of entering the race for the United
States senate. No official statement has been made
by the governor. but he has not denied the newspaper
statements or those of his close friends TO the effect
that he would again be a candidate.
There has never been a reason to believe that
Governor Moody would enter the race for the senate
this year, and he has several times given the intima-
ton he would not be q candidate against Mr.. Mayfield.
Most Of the discussions Of senatorial aspirations are
believed to have been the product Of the wave Of en-
thusiasm which in 1926 elevated Mr.. Moody from the
office Of attorney general to that of governor. Texans
acclaimed their new leader, and many politicians appar-
emily took this as an indication that the young COVER
nor would endeavor to Immediately place his foot on
the next round of the political ladder and seek the
senatorship.
Governor Moody probably has the ambition to be-
come a United States senator or even to become vice
president or president. 1t is a very worthy ambition
with many Americans who have not climbed as high
on the political ladder as the Texas chief executive.
However, Governor Moody does not belong to that
class who permit their ambitions TO outweigh their
Judgment. He still has many years left to devote to
uublic service, and he realizes that the best way 70
maserialize any ambition he may have for further sd-
vsncement is to render service in his present posi-
ton. thereby proving beyond controversy that he is en-
titled to further promotion from the people Of Texas.
The logical course for Governor Moody to pursue

tory 70 the people Of Texas. The old cry Of graft"
and a~politics," which persisted throughout the vari-

ME of Texas. They may differ with him occasionally

RADIOS PROBLEMS EXPLAINED
BY NON-TECHNICAL SENATOR

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator
William II. McMaster Of South Da-
kota doesn't profess TO understand
radio very well. Most senators do.
50 il you've a radio problem to
submit TO a senator. and you're not
an expert yourself, ask McMaster. He
may not know the answer, but at
least he'll tell you 50 In words an
ordinary mortal's familiar with.
An expert will answes you In
radio-ese. which is comprehensive
only to the deeply learned. Personal
ly. I think it's bunk, but the experts
get away with It.
What I wanted to learn is how
congress proposes finally to divide up
the "air" among radio broadcasting
stations, a job our present commits
sion doesn't appear to be handling
yer satisfactorily to all concerned.
In plain, u~nscientific American.
broadcasting stations differ from
newspapers. for instance, in this
Say the output Of a certain news
paper doesn't suit some part Of the
community which it purports to
serve. The disgruntled elements OBJ
vious remedy's 10 start a paper OF
its own. IL a disgruntled element
still remains. IL can start a third
And so on. indefinitely. The sky's
the limit. so long as more news
papers can be made t. pay-even
longer. il angels can be found 10
foot deficits.
But the number Of radio broad
casting stations is limited by the
available amount Of "air." Pass that
point, and they're all jumhled up.
So radio broadcasters enjoy a mo-
nopoly, like trolley lines, which can't
keep or being built after there's no
room left for additional ones in the
streets.
