emphasized too often, the East and the
West must work together. They must
cooperate. But speaking as a Middle
Westerner myself. l must say that be-
lieve the West is entitled to get CO.
operation as we'll as give it.
It took eight years TO get the so-called
farm relief bill passed. 1t took eight
years for those with the so-called ma
tionai viewpoint to acquire the knowl-
edge necessary to an understanding that
it was and is the national interest to
promote prosperous agriculture. That
means prosperous West, when you get
down to It.
So Congress finally passed the agri-
cultural marketing act and took up
what we supposed, was to be a limited
revision of the tariff in the interest of
gricultural-WeStern, If you want to
call It that-economic equality.
1t was those eight years of uphill
struggle, when the West did not get the
cooperation it expected from the East,
that led directly to the open break be-
tween the East and West, that was
etched on the public consciousness
through the recent WeSt-South coali-
ton on the tariff bill in the Senate

the lack of economic balance between
the East and the West.
During the war the West was en-
couraged to grow more wheat and win
the war" But the Government restrict
ed the famers profits. When factory
workers in the East were getting SIS,
$i6, $50 a day, wages and profits for
agriculture did not rise accordingly.
The war millionaires" did not come
from the agricultural Western section.
The war ended. The Western agricul-
tural section was debated first, and
worst, and it lasted the longest. Agri-
cultures share of the national income
dropped from one-flfth to one-tenth,
and has not come back, although con-
ditionS are much improved.
The West Is not resentful, not vim
dictive. But its feeling Of protest has
been growing. The farm bill was en-
acted. The Federal Farm Board, headed
by Alex H. Legee. headed by a very able
Western business man thoroughly in
sympathy with agriculture, started func-

the tariff bill apart, a section at time,
The situation was not helped little
bit when the West learned that Senator
Bingham of Connecticut had taken the
secretary of the Connecticut Manufac-
turers Association, disguised as COM
mittee clerk, into the secret meetings
of the subcommittee which wrote the
tariffs on Connecticut-madeg oods-and
greatly to Connecticut's benefit.
Nor was it helped when Lobbyist
Joseph r. Grundy of Pennsylvania de-
nounced the Western States represented
by the insurgent Senators as backward
States" and that these should talk
darned small" in the Senate, that Penn
sylvania manufacturing and business
interests had contributed $4,000 to
the campaign fund, and that Pennsyl-
vania and New. England should be al
lowed to write the tariff bills.
Even the wisecrack from Senator
Moses, who comes from one of the New
England States, that the insurgent

Contribution Nothing.
In fact. Senator Bingham and
Lobbyist Grundy and Senator Moses
combined contribution toward allaying
sectionaliSm in the Senate and over
the country was almost exactly nothing.
On the other hand, the Western
Senators did not hesitate to attack
what they called the Sel1Shness and
arrogance of the industrial East in
writing the tariff bill.
And so the sectional feeling, and the
sectional alignments, and the breach
between the East and the West have
grown in the past few months.
Also must say that this feeling; this
alignment, this breach, is not confined
to the United States Senate. Sec
tionalism is growing throughout the
Middle West, the South, the East.
Since the Democratic party has come

tioning. I want to say that the West
Is watching that board with interest,
and so far with approval. Confidence
in the future is returning.
But the agricultural Vests returning
confidence in the industrial East Suf-
fered a severe shock when the House
passed the tariff bill. Its feeling of
protest grew as the full intent OF that
tariff bill became evident. True, 1t gave
some increased protection to Western
agricultural products. Some OF 1t was
paper protection, as on wheat and to
some extent on corn; some OF 1t real,
as on butter and eggs. But it liked
industrial rates much more effectively
promised industry millions in increased
protection for thousands granted agrl-
culture.
The agricultural West looked over the
House committee that wrote the BILL
which the House had accepted prac-
tically as written in committee. 1t
looked over the roster of Senators on
the Senate finance committee. 1t found
no Western agricultural States repre-
Sented on the finance committee, only
one or two on the House committee,
so far as the Republicans were con-
cerned. And the Democrats had no
voice in either committee under our
system of handling tariff bills in COM
mittee.
The agricultural West saw a tariff
come to the floor of the Senate which
plainly would increase the economic dis
and the industrial East. The purchas-
ing power of agricultural units in ex-
change for manufactured units was de-
creased instead of being increased.
The agricultural West sized up the
situation. The Republican members OF
the House and Senate committees wrote
the tariff rates. The industrial East
was represented ably and almost unani-
mously on both committees. The agri-
cultural West was practically unrepre-
scented. The bill was written to the
advantage of the industrial East and
the diSavantage of the agricultural
West. I am giving you the viewpoint
of the agricultural West on the tarin
bill and the way it was written. and
will add that is my own view of 1t.
For Industrial East.
AS the Eastern Republican Senators
and congressman wrote the measure. as
the industrial East got the advantages
it proposed to give through tariff rate
increases, the agricultural West drew
the not entirely illogical conclusion that
the industrial East had for the time
being forgotten about cooperation from
a national viewpoint, and had written
the bill for the industrial East, and not
for the entire country, certainly not
for the agricultural West. And the
agricultural West had understood the
measure would be written for its benefit,
this time.
AS direct result of this tariff action,
following the eight-year fight for farm
relief for the agricultural West. a group
of Middle Western Senators broke loose
in the Senate. formed a coalition with

Although he didn't say it in
so many words, Goose Goslin
left the impression he may go
to Tampa somewhat ahead of
schedule and talk salary mat
ters over with President Clark
Griffith.
AS :. matter of truth, Goslin
was willing to talk about any
thing from the weather to the
new spring styles, just so the
gamut didn't include baseball
contracts. Goslin is a very
astute business man. He knows
better than to shoot off.
''I had been around baseball
long time before / learned to not
talk too much about things which
which can't possibly concern
Others" said Goslin when pressed
for some hint as to his differ
ences with the ball club. He
was happy to talk of the teams
chances, of its new manager and
of the condition of his throw
ing arm, but when the conversa-
tion was shifted to that contract
he simply passed the issue over
by saying he didn't care to talk
about it.
When the Goose says his base
ball contract concerns nobody
except himself, he is greatly
undertaking the facts. All of
Washington is interested in see
ing him back in a Griffith uni
form next summer and it would
be a mean fan, indeed, who
wouldn't want to see Goose
getting as much as he can for
his services.
AS to the intimate details of
his contract, of course, those
are the business of none ex-
cent Goslin and the club. No
prying eyes have any right to
that information. The public's
interest in the matter lies in
the hope he gets all the traffic
will stand and it's pretty certain
Griff will meet Goslin more
than halfway when they once
get together in Tampa, which
may be sooner than has been
announced.
Goslin looks the picture of
health. Building bungalows all
winter and keeping in the out
doors has kept his skin a
healthy, ruddy color. All he
needs is a set of whiskers and
he could pass for Santa Claus.
Note the contrast in Cos
Inns attitude toward the diff
ferences with his club and that
of Gordon Cochrane, Athletic
holdout. Cochrane has been
sounding off considerably, if the
newspaper quotations are not
exaggerated, going into the most
intimate details of his demands
and generally airing his salary
controversy.
However, the Philadelphia
newspapers are behind Coch-
rane in his demands and have
created no end of public SYM
pathy in his behalf. The lat

has Cochrane offered long term
contracts from several business
houses, brokerage firms and
stock-selling companies to labor
for them in case he can't bring
Connie Mack to terms.
You can set that down as
mere ballyhoo. 1t takes ability
to sell stocks and bonds to
shrewd purchasers, and al
though Cochrane has a great
personality, something they say
statesmen must have in order to
gain audience, his real ability is
back of the bat and that's where
you'll find him when the blue
birds sing again.
Now compare, if you please,
the Co.hrane reports with one
coming out of st. Louis. A
reliable press association carries
a story that Ralph Kress re-
turned an unsigned contract to
the st. Louis Browns and was
rewarded with a new one IN
whi~' the salary was left for
Kress' own insertion. He wrote
"$7 900" and signed and re-
turned the contract. One Won
ders if he had writer's cramps.
There are two sure ways to
gauge the interest centering in
any impending sports extrava-
ganza. One of them is the
press reservations being made,
and the other is the unusual rail-
road &C com m o dations being
offered. Railroads. don't often
guess 'em wrong. George Vier-
buchen says the Seaboard al
ready has enough business out
of Washington to warrant a
special train leaving here the
