as to his ideas about certain features
of the bill.
In general, the measure will provide
for Federal Farm Board with wide
powers and a revolving fund at its
disposal for loans to cooperative agen-
cies and sterilization corporations which
would act when called upon by COM
modify groups to help in periods Of
price slumpS.
Pan Of Sterilization.
The idea would be to have the sta
biliZation corporations, controlled by
cc-operatives, buy in an overcrowded
market when prices are low and sell
when the price situation improved.
Should any losses result they would be
charged to the revolving fund. but these
would be largely Offset by profits from
other sales, in the opinion Of the bills
sponsors, which would be turned back
into the fund.
AS for the tariff, no indication has
come from the ways and means COM
mittee as to what changes are being
planned in the law which has been on
the statute books for more than six
years. President Hoover favors a linn
tied revision, with the majority OF the
changes in favor of farm products, and
Republican leaders also hold to this
view. Whether they will be successful
probably will not be known until the
Senate gets its hands on the bill.
Whether the Senate finance commit
tee will be prepared to report the meas
ure within week or two after it
passes the House is doubtful. Chairman
Smoot believes it will be unnecessary
to hold extensive hearings on the meas
ure before reporting it, inasmuch as the
House committee went into the question
exhaustively at public hearings in jan
uary and February. Predictions have
been made, however, that the Senate
group will be at least a month at its
study in view of the general clamor for
hearings from dissatisfied interests
that ordinarily follows House action on
tariff structure readjustment.

1T is not good to give to crime or

Thomas w Miller was granted his freedom on pa
role by former Attorney General John Garribaldi
Sargent was succeeded in office by William D. Nit
chell, a Minnesota democrat.
Miller was alien property custodian by appoint
ment Of Warren G. Harding. He was continued in
office by Calvin Coolidge. He was convicted of con-
spring to deraud the government in the handling of
German property during the World war. He was
sentenced to serve 10 months in the Atlanta ~peniten-
tiary and fined $4,000.
Harry M. Daugherty was sent to trial with Miller
Miller was convicted but the jury could not agree as
to Daugherty's guilt and the former attorney general
was turned loose.
Sargent reversed himself. He refused to parole
Miller. This a few months ago. He changed his
mind on the last day of his term of office.
Fall enjoys his liberty: Doheney enjoys his lib
erty; Sinclair enjoys his liberty. Not one of the loot

the penalty.
Yes, this is a nation where one law for all is the
boast Of the sons and daughters of constitutional lib
erty and democratic government.

(bSduInOQU E1CSrprlS6).
In appointing former Governor Arthur Nj. HYDE
of Missouri as secretary of agriculture. Mr.. Hoover
chooses for this important post a man from a section
Of the country where the farm problem is acute.
Most Of the agrarian rumblings of discomfort have
come from the middle and northwest.
Mr.. Hoover again disregards political precedent by
naming for a cabinet position, not one Of his support
ers, but a supporter of a rival candidate for the presi-
dency, former Governor Lowden Of Illinois. However,
the farm views Of Mr.. Hyde conform to those of Mr..
Hoover, in so far as the equalization fee Of the Nc
Nary-Haugen bill is concerned.
Mr.. Hoover is reported to have advised Mr.. Cool
idge to veto the McNary-Haugen bill, which the pres
ident did when it was twice presented to him for
signature. Mr.. Hyde supported the presidential can
didacy of Mr.. Lowden and shared more Of his views
on agricultural relief, but did not approve of the prin-
ciple of an equalization fee.
The practical experience Mr.. Hyde has had as a
farmer in Kansas and the study he has made Of ag-
ricultural questions should enable him to be of great
service in solving the farm problem, by long odds the
most difficult and vexatious task confronting the
Hoover administration.
MI. Hoover solemnly covenanted with the farmers
of the United States to cooperate with congress n
working out a practicable plan Of farm relief. What
ever else he does or fails to do. his record in this re-
spect will be closely Scrutinized by about one-third Of
the American people who belong to the farm popula-
ton.
Hoover will be judged more by his efforts to solve the
farm problem than by any other undertaking of his
administration. And to a large extent his political
future will depend upon a solution Of this question.
No doubt Mr.. Hoover gave much thought to the
choice of a secretary of agriculture, for the secretary
Of agriculture and the attorney general are destined
to be the two key" men of his administration.

priced lands. As the industry developed to the point
where protection is essential, that protection would
be accorded without waiting years for a general re-
vision Of all tariff schedules.
Congress never will grant to the president greater
power than he now holds in revising tariff rates, but
there is no logical reason why congress itself should
not act on recommendation of the tariff commits
sion and the ways and means committee and grant
relief for industries which must have protection to
exist. So long as the degree Of f~1exibility is limited
as at present, 1t will be impossible to adjust the
tariff rates to conform to changing conditions. Flex-
Utility is essential to a scientific tariff, and the Gar
ner proposal will provide the degree of f~lexibility nee
essary to assure adequate protection to all interests.
