Where Is the End?

The frenzy of speculation in Wall Street continues
Trading during the current week has broken all
previous records, with more than 100000 shares
changing hands daily. Before the present bull mar
ket, turnover of 100000 shares day con-
sidered normal
Orders are pouring into brokers' Offices faster than
they can be handled and the machinery of the stock
exchange is overtaxed.
There is wide difference of opinion on what will
be the outcome Prices have been pushed up to I'M
precedented levels, so high in some instances that
the yields on stocks will be almost negligible.
The upward trend continues despite warnings
from bankers, conservative brokers, and heads of
some of the corporations whose issues are involved
and in the face of widespread proht-taking Stocks
being sold freely, but buying prevents recess
sion, showing many expect still higher prices
Students of the market are agreed that the public
is in the market as never before and this is credited
with being responsible to considerable degree for the
continued bull movement. A rush of orders reached
the street from all over the country following the
election.
1t would be rash to hazard guess on whether the
peak has been reached.
"Despite strength of the market, conservative OBJ
servers are maintaining cautious attitude" remarks
prices, it says, although they admit corrective
action develop at any time"
''It generally is expected that the Coolidge boom
renamed the Hoover boom, will continue indefi-
nitey, and that prices will advance until the public
becomes stated or the supply of credit is exhausted
says Commerce and Finance "Of course, this is a
very dangerous assumption"
Leonard P Ayres, Cleveland banker and statisti-
cian points out there have been twelve wel-defined
bull markets in the last fifty years that the dura-
ton of each has been in the neghborhood of two
years.
"The present market has lasted twenty -four
months" he adds.
Meantime, the vast majority of people not inter-
ested in making money through speculation will
wonder what will be the effect on business and gen.
eral prosperity if and when the much-discussed
corrective reaction" sets in.
One thing seems reasonably certain. That is that
the small traders who make up the public market
rather than the professionals and the big operators
will be the chief immediate sufferers

the preferable outlet. The admin. stration has undertaken negotiations with Canada upon the subject. If these negotiations fail We must con- sider alternative routes. In any event the completion of this great system of barge lines on the rivers and connecting the lakes with the gulf, of opening shipway from the lakes to the sea. will make an ef- fective transportation system 1:.OOo miles in length penetrating twenty midwest states. It will connect these states with seaboard at the gulf on ono hand and with the North Atlan- tic on the other. And this means more than the mere saving upon the actual goods shipped over these routes. If part of our crops can move to market at a seven to ten cent saving per bushel, the buyers competitive bidding for this portion of the crop will force upward the price of the whole crop.
 All Industry Affected
 And this development concerns not alone agriculture, but every in- dustry and business in the midwest. 1 The manufacturer and merchant in this section is suffering from a cur- tailment of his distribution field; his l business province has shrunk. This development should tend to increase manufacturing industry in the mid- west and thereby create a larger di- versity of employment and greater local market for agricultural prod ucts. Nor does this development mean the erippling of our railways. The annual increase in railways traffic will give to them a far moro and complete offset to these diver sions. Moreover, everything that in- creases the prosperity of the country also helps the railways. The policy of rapid consummation of this great project will be continued if the re- publican administration be contin- ued. We should at the present rate of progress have completed the Mis- sissippi system within the next four year. It is a vital part of the reha- b1lltdtlon ot the middle west agrlcul- ture and business.
 The modernizations of our water ways recall again the earlier life of Iowa. At one time its transportation was ill large degree over these same rivers and many of our pioneers reached this state by the old Packet boats and their own rafts. Nor are the days of the pioneer over. We have to pioneer through economic problems. through scientific develop ment and invention on to frontiers just as forbidding, just as romantic. and just as pregnant of added happi- ness as our fathers ever knew. The test of our generation will be whether we can overcome these

Panama Canal and the fact that ocean rates have increased but little since before the war, further disturbs the whole economic relationship Of the Midwest. It is as if row of toll gates had been placed around this whole section of our country. It seriously affects the farmer. l think we can accept it as an econ- omic fact that the farmer on most occasions pays the freight on his products. It is deduction from the ultimate price; you yourself can at- test this. In a general way, the centerpoint of markets is overseas or the Atlantic seaboard. where prices are determined by the meet ing of streams of world products. For every hundred miles you are re- moved from these market centers the price of farm products is lower by the amount of freight rates. Some calculations which I made a few years ago showed that the in creases in railway rates had in ef- | feet moved the Midwest 200 to 400 miles further from seaboard. More- over, some of the competitive agri- cultural regions such as the Argen- | board and with sea rates about the same as before the war, they are able to compete with the American farmer in foreign markets to a greater advantage thap before the va. This increase in transporta- 1 ton rates also affects the prices of many things which the farmer must | buy, for much raw material which comes into the Midwest pays the in- creased freight rate and this in turn is taken up by the consumer. We i cannot return to pre-war railway rates without ruin to the railways. Therefore, I have long asserted that the real hope of reducing : charges upon our bulk goods was l through the modernization of our great interior waterways. By mod ernization, l mean increasing depths to a point where We can handle ten i thousand tons in a line of barges | pulleH by. tug rms admlnlstfa- ! tion has authorized the systematic undertaking of this modernization. i Within few years We will have completed the deepening of the Ohio up to Pittsburgh, the Missouri up to Kansas City. Omaha. and be- yond. the Mississippi 10 St. Paul and Minneapolis, the Illinois to Chicago. 1 We already have experience with re- suits, for wifh only the main river from St. Louis to New Orleans as yet working properly. the rates for transportation of bull agricultural products through that section Is near pre- war railway rates. We will not , have the advantage of full results until the entire Mississippi and it's tributaries are in one connected transportation system.
 Another Opportunity

 Pioneer Days Recalled
 There are those in this audience who saw Iowa an open prairie. I re- call members of my own family who in my childhood were still breaking the soil in the western part of the state and were then still living in the first sod houses of the pioneer farm CT. Our fathers and grandfathers who poured over the midwest were

cent of the family living must be purchased from outside. In the old
 days when prices fluctuated in the Chicago market, at most they at- | fected only 20 per cent of the i = ] come of the farm. A violent drop | in prices could reduce the family income by only four or five per cent. Today the same fluctuation
 in price. affecting as it does 80 per cent to 100 per cent of the products of the farm, can take 25 to 50 per
 cent away from the family net in- come and make the difference be- tween comfort and freedom from
 anxiety. or on the other hand, debts l and discouragements.
 l do not suggest a return to the gerater security which agriculture enjoyed in its earlier days because with that security Were lower stand ards of living. greater toll. less op- l portunity for leisure and recreation. less of the comforts of home, less
 of the joy of living.
 l am often conscious of scnti-
 mental regret for the passing of those old time conditions. 1 have sometimes been as homesick for the
 ways of those self contained farm
 homes of forty years ago as I have
 ieen for the kindly folk who lived in them. But l know it is no more possible to revive those old condi- tions than it is to summon back the
 relatives and friends in the ccmc-
 tery wonder. While we recognize and hold fast to what is pcrma-
 nent in the old time conditions, we must accept what is inevitable in the changes that have taken place.
 It is fortunate indeed that the prin- ciples upon which our government was founded require no attenuation to meet these changes.
 Just as there is transformation in agriculture so there is in other industry; just as there is more spe- cialzations on the farm, so there is in other industry. We live today by the exchange of goods among ten thousand sorts of producers of spe- titlitIto. "A IdI lluIl!pSI ol OtCuHd- tions which were conducted on the
 farm in old days are now conducted in the factory. That is one reason why We have a decreasing propor-
 ton of our people on the farms. By this revolution the American farm
 CT has become enmeshed in power- ful and. yet delicate. economic forces which are working to his dis
 advantage.
 Farm Program
 In my acceptance speech ten days
 ago 1 made an extended statement
 upon the legislative proposals for
 relief to the agricultural industry which the Republican party has put forward in its platform. You would
 not wish me to take your time to
 review that statement. l should, however, like to emphasize that the spirit of those legislative proposals is to work out a more economical and stable marketing system. A fed eral farm board is to be set up with

self-reliant. rugged. God-fearing peo- pie of indomitable courage. They combined to build the roads. bridges, and towns: they co-operated together to erect their schools, their churches, and to raise their barns and harvest their fields. They asked only for freedom of opportunity and an equal chance. In these concep- tions lies the real basis of American democracy. They and their fathers give a genius to American institu- tions that distinguished our people from any other in the world. Their demand for an equal chance ts the

to assist the industry to meet not
 alone the varied problems Of today.
 but those which may arise in the ] future. My fundamenetal concept of
 agriculture is one controlled by its
 own members. organized to fight its own economic battles and 10 deter
 mine its own destinies. Nor do l
 speak of organization in the mar
 row sense of traditional farm CO.,
 operatives or pools, but in the much
 wider sense of a sound marketing
 organization. It is not by these pro-
 posals intended to put the govern
 ment into the control of the b,-si-
 ness Of agriculture, nor to subsidize
 the prices of farm products and
 pay the losses thereon either by the
 federal treasury or by tax or fee
 on the farmer. We propose with governmental assistance and an
 initial advance of capital to enable
 the agricultural industry to reach d
 stature of modern business opera | uons by which the farmer will at
 tain his independence and main- | tain his individuality.
 And upon this whole question l ! should like to repeat from my ac- ceptance speech that:
 The working out of agricultural 1 relief constitutes the most import
 ant obligation of the next admins l tration. The object of our policies | is to establish for our farmers an | of nj bAr
 cupatiOns; for the farmers wife the
 same comforts in her home as wo- men in other groups; for the farm i boys and girls the same opportuni- 1 ties in life as other boys and a.rls. | So far as my own abilities may be i of service, l dedicate them to help
 secure prosperity and contentmcnt
 in that industry where I and my i forefathers Were born and nearly all my family still obtain their | livclihood.'
 Wants Cooperation
 In formulating recommendations for legislation to carry out the proposals of the party, I trust that
 We may have the full assistance of | tilt lttd'lS ol il iIOu1 III. l 1 am not insensible to the value of
 the study which sincere farm lead
 CTS have given to this question of farm legislation. They have all con- l tributed to the realization that the
 problem must be solved, They will 1 be invited into conference. Out
 standing farmers such as Governor 1 Lowden will be asked to join in the
 search for common ground upon ! which we can act.
 i l had thought today to particu- l larly point out the importance Of
 the development of our interior wa terWays as bearing on the prospcri-
 ty not only of agriculture but Of the whole of our Midwest business and | commerce. It is a most important supplement to agricultural relief. | The necessarily large advances in
 railway rates from the war initiate against the economic setting of this i whole interior section. This, to- 1 gether with the completion of the
