REPUBLICAN RECORD

Our problems of the past seven
years have been problems of re-
constructions; our problems of the
future are problems of construction.
They are problems of progress.
During these years our popuIa.
ton has Increased eight percent.
Yet our national income has in.
creased As percent. The number
of families has increased 100000
and we have built 100000 new
and better homes. We have
equipped 100000 more homes
with electricity, and through 1t
drudgery has been lifted from the
lives of women. The barriers of
time and distance have been swept
away and life made freer and
larger by the installation of 6,oo0,-
600 more telephones, 100000
radio sets and the service of an
additional 100000 automobiles.
BY rigorous economy, federal ex.
penses have been reduced two bill
lions annually. The national debt
has been reduced six and a half
billions. Taxes have been reduced
four successive times. We have
doubled savings deposits and near
ly doubled life insurance.

Tariff and Waterways
IAN adequate tariff is the foundation
Of farm relief. Our consumers increase
faster than our producers. The do
nestle market must be protected. For
eign products raised under lower
standards Of living are today compel
ing in our home markets. l would use
my office and influence to give the
farmer the full benefit of our historic
tariff policy.
"A large portion of the spread be-
tween what the farmer receives for
his products and what the ultimate
consumer pays is due to increased
transportation charges. Increase in
railway rates has been one of the pen
alties of the war. These increases
have been added to the cost to the
farmer of reaching seaboard and for
e1gn markets and result therefore in
reduction of his prices. The farmers
OF foreign countries have thus been ii,
directly aided in their competition
with the American farmer. Nature
has endowed us with a great system
OF inland waterways. Their modern
ization will comprise a most substan-
tial contribution to midwest farm re-
lief and to the development of twenty
of our interior states. This moderniza-
alton includes not only the great Mis-
sissippi system, with it's joining of the
Great Lakes and of the heart of mid.
west agriculture to the Gulf, but also

Of the marketing system upon sounder

to go much farther. 1t pledges the
creation of a Federal Farm Board of
representative farmers to be clothed
with authority and resources with
which not only to still further aid
farmers co-operatives and pools and
to assist generally in solution of farm
problems but especially to build up
with federal finance, farmer-owned
and farmer-controlled sterilization cor
porations to protect the farmer from
the depressions and decentralization of
seasonal gluts and periodical sur
pluses.
Will Cost Money
"Objection has been made that this
program, as laid down by the Party
Platform, may require that Several
hundred millions of dollars of capital
be advanced by the Federal Govern
ment without obligation upon the in
dividual farmer. With that objection
I have little patience. A nation which
Is spending ninety billions a year can
well afford an expenditure of a few
hundred millions for workable pro-
gram that will give to one-third of it's
population their fair share of the ma
tons prosperity. Nor does this pro-
posal put the government into bust
ness except so far as it is called upon
to furnish initial capital with which to
build up the farmer to the control Of
his own destinies.
"This program adapts itself to the va
riable problems of agriculture not only
today but which will arise in the flu.
ture. / do not believe that any single
human being or any group of human
beings can determine in advance all
questions that will arise in so vast and
complicated an industry over a term

an effective agency directly for these
purposes and to give it authority and
resources These are solemn pledges
and they will be fulfilled by the Re-
