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
er. Our fathers and grandfathers
who poured over the midwest were
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 conceptions lies the
real basis of American democracy.
They and their fathers give genius
to American institutions that distin-
guished our people from any other In
the world. Their demand for an
equal chance is the basis of Amer
lean progress. To those who have
by necessity worked in other lands
comes this most vivid meaning Of
America and q deep gratitude for
what our fathers have builded. Here
there are no limits to hope; no limits
upon accomplishment; our obligation
today Is to maintain that equal oppor-
tunity for agricultural as we'll as for
every other calling.
Pledges Service to Homes
When we traverse the memories Of
those who have builded this state and
this nation we recall these acts
which are rooted In the soil of serv-
ice. When we rehearse our own
memories we find that none give us
such comfort and satisfaction as the
record of service we have been able
to render. do not believe our peo-
pie have lost those finer qualities of
rugged character, self-reliance, or
initiative. nor have they lost the
great quality which they Embedded in
American character, the quality of
neighborly cooperation and mutual
service. It is In this quality that our
hopes must lie in the solution of our
great problems.
And must say again that the solu-
ton Of these problems has but one
purpose-that Is the comfort and
welfare Of the American family and
the American home. The family Is
the unit Of American life and the
home is the sanctuary of moral in
spiration and Of American spirit.
The true conception of America is not
a country of 100000 people but q
nation of 100000 families living in
100000 homes l pledge my serv.
Ices to these homes.

The modernizations of our water
ways recall again the earlier life Of
Iowa. At one time its transportation
was in large degree over these same
rivers and many Of our pioneers
reached this state by the old Packet
boats and their own RATS. 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 happiness
as our fathers ever knew. The test
of our generation will be whether we
can overcome these frontiers, whether
we can hold mastery over~the system
we have created, whether we can
maintain the advantage we have In
herited, whether we can hold our
selves a nation dedicated to equal OBJ
portunity for all.
There are those In this audience
Who saw Iowa an open prairie. / re-
