The Farm Problem

The proposal Of democratic leaders that agricultural
and industrial tariffs be equalized and the farmers
permitted to work out their own salvation" is meet
ing unanimous approval from economists who have
made a study Of the agricultural situation.
For over o century agriculture was the leading indus
try of the United States, and will again attain the pre-
mier position II given equal opportunity with other in
dustries. No industry can be established firmly upon
governmental subsidies, and to grant such 70 agricul-
ture without giving the industry a position of equality
in the domestic markets would be unjust.
Secretary Jardine contends that cooperation Is the
remedy for existing farm ills, and he is partly cor
rect. If the next congress will adjust the tariff upon
q basis Of equality and extend government aid in or
ranization Of co-operatives; in other words, aiding the
farmers 10 work out their own problems, agriculture
will within a few years occupy the same high posi-
ton IL held prior to the beginning Of the present
century.
Both major parties are pledged to aid agriculture,
but agriculture needs no aid further than a square
deal" in tariff adjustment. This has been promised
by the democratic platform, and while the republican
platform makes no specific statement regarding equal
ization, republican leaders indicate they will not OPP
pose the demands Of the agricultural interests.
In connection with the cooperative movement,
which is essential to rehabilitation Of agriculture, il
is interesting to note that Capitalization of co-opera-
tive associations has made rapid progress in recent
years. Within the commodity groups we have the ex-
ample of large declarations that perform marketing
services for a number of local or regional oroganiza-
lions. These are examples of highly developed coop
eratives with known records of achievement, and their
accomplishments have proved to farmers that if the
industry Is given equal opportunity under the tariff
they can work out their own destiny.

Is funny, 1t Is ingenious. and ID Ia
surprisingly clean in content, consid-
ering that a woman's knee is no
longer a mystery.
Ziegfeld has retired, for the time
being, from the revue field. and In
devoting himself exclusively to musi.
GERS" Show Boat" and "Rosane" are
best sellers. These Scandals the
collegiate "Good News" whose music
must BY now be fairly familiar all
over the country; Joe Cooks show
Rain or Shine" and q version of
Mark Twain's Connecticut Yankee
NJ King Arthur's Court" are the best
New York has 10 offer in the musical
line.
The best Of the dramatic shows, as
shown by critical reports and at
tendance, are: "~Coquette," tragic
play based on a southern murder
that happened a few years azo, with
Helen Hayes; "Volpone," Theater
Guild production OF an E~lizabethan
comedy; The Bachelor Father" Be-

At another end az the room two
chorus boys were helping a couple Of
girls stretch their legs up the wall.
Janet knew enough about dancing 10

of their legs.
II was amusing the way they stood
against the wall and the boys took
hold Of their feet and slowly pushed
their legs back until they touched
the wall over their heads. Amazingl

Janet went TO rehearsal three days
before h was called upon to do
anything. She began to think there
was some mistake and that maybe
she wasn't in the show after all. But
there were others sitting around.
twiddling their thumbs and looking
bored, too-so she thought that could
hardly be possible.
The rehearsal hall was ~unhearabIy
hot. Two little chorus girls had
tainted near the end Of a sitting day.
The little girls seemed TO be the ones
who were doing the hard work. They
we're on their feet constantly. Janet
felt sorry for them. Especially one
little girl who was pale and tired
looking seemed unable to put any pep
into her work. The director was
constantly calling her down, and she
always looked as though she wanted
TO cry.
Just before noon of the fourth day
the assistant director walked over TO
Janet and told her they would re-
hearse her solo number right after
luncheon. A relieved smile spread
over her fece. he mopped his brow.

to have the monotony broke. Sos

PROHIBITION RULED OUT OF POLITICAL
CAMPAIGNS
BY MRS. NELLIE TAYLoE ROSS
Former Governor of Wyoming.

MRS. Nellie Tsyloe Ross was born at st. Joseph,
Mo-, in 1880. She was educated in public and pri-
vate schools and under private teachers. special
izing in literature. She married william Bradford
Ross, lawyer, later governor Of Wyoming. Upon
the death Of her husband in 1924, while still gov
ernor Of Wyoming, Mrs. Ross was elected COVER
nor Of Wyoming TO fill the unexpired term Of her
husband ending in 1927. Mrs. Ross is serving as
vice chairman Of the women's division Of the ma
tional democratic c~ommittes).
The minds Of the women Of this country must Be-
disabused Of certain p~rejudices and false impressions.
I believe firmly in prohibition myself, but despite the
injection of prohibition into discussions Of the cam
pagn, ], as we'll as the other women OF the national
%mmitts who hold similar convictions, are quite
sanguins.
We are not misled by the propasands that Is being
spread abroad about Governor Smiths; and IL will be
our duty to see that others are not misled. Prohibition
cannot be a party issue in a presidential campaign be-
cause modification rests with the people. The peo-
pie can do what they will. The women Of my part Of
the country desire prohibition, but they are liberal
minded enough to respect other points of view.
The way for women to become effective in politics
is TO work wj.a the men. There will be no rivalry Of
women with the men and we will make no
effort to assert ourselves against the men. We will
both work together for the one glorious result.
There are many able democratic speakers among
women and they will be enlisted in the campaign, al
though they will not be asked to align themselves as
women. We expect to use every possible agency 10
advance Governor Smiths candidacy. shall be here
in New York City much Of the time during the cam
paign.
Every woman must be interested in prohibition, but
I am confident that democratic and republican women
will both realize that there are other great problems
in this campaign. Chief among them is the ~restora-
ton OF honesty in government. The farm problem IS
also q very vital one, not only TO the farmers then-
selves, but 70 all industry and 10 the nation At large.

1t was referred TO the interstate
commerce committee, which tomorrow
will hold a hearing on the contested
nomination of John j. Esch for re-

Charges by the Missouri Reed, that
Reed Of Pennsylvania had employed

Pennsylvania that he suspected poll

FALL, SINCLAIR
CONTEMPT CASE
NEARING CLOSE

WASHINGTON Feb. II l49 - The
number of respondents in the criminal
contempt proceedings growing out Of
the shadowing of the Fall-Sinclair oil
conspiracy jury by Burns detectives
was reduced to four today when jus
tice Siddons dismissed the charges
against G. L. Veitsch Of Baltimore.
Veitsch, manager of the Baltimore
office of the Burns detective agency
brought $1,500 here to pay the sur
veillance squad which was employed
by Harry F. Sinclair, but knew moth
ing of the shadowing, government
testimony developed. Justice Fred
erick L. Siddons ruled that Veitsch's
guilt had not been established beyond
a reasonable doubt.
AS soon as Veitsch was freed, coun-
sci for William j. Burns moved that
the charges be dismissed against the
detective en- the ground that the gov
ernment had failed to show he was
connected with the jury shadowing.
The defense argument was not fin
ished until adjournment and the gov
ernment opposition will be presented
Monday. Besides Burns and Sinclair,
the remaining respondents are Henry
