One Of, if not the most outstanding
analysis Of the Farm Relief question
in the United, was that made by Hon.
orable Louis T. McFadden, congress
man from Pennsylvania and chairman
Of the house committee on banking
and currency. His speech, which was
delivered in the Congress of the IN
tied States first Of the year, was a
constructive exposition of the farm
ers' position in this country and was
a distinct contribution to the success
full solution Of his problems.
This speech by the Honorable Louis
7. McFadden, who is one of the out
standing public men of our country,
represents great amount of re-
search, fundamental facts and statist-
zeal information, and many of the
leading statesmen consider it to be an
outstanding, sound public utterance.
x
Following is brief summary of
VIC oueSlduuluS tedtuIcS VI HIS IT,
search work and suggestions for the
solution of the Farm Relief problem:
Mr.. McFadden brings out the fact
that the farm question has been be-
logged and the true situation not
understood.
He also proves that the farm ques-
ton is not western question alone,
but is national question, and that
his state, Pennsylvania, from an ag-
ricultural standpoint, for instances in
annual production, leads many if not
most Of the western states.
y
He brings out the fact that farm
depression in time will bring indus
trial depression, and that all should
be interested in the solution of these
problems.
He dwells upon the great increase
in freight rates which took place in

REDUCED RATES ON N. p.

For the Western Montana fair at
Missoula, September / to 20, the Nor
thern Pacific railway has authorized
an open rate of a fare and one-third

line in Montana west of any including
Helena and Butte to Missoula and re-
turn.

it to 20, inclusive, with final return
limit to reach starting point not later
than midnight Of September 90.

1920, which was the hardest blow of
all dwelt the farmer and which should
have had more detailed study with
different results at the time.
He claims we have too much guam
tity legislation and not enough quail
ity legislation and study as applied
to the farm question.
He states that the construction and
application of trust laws in our coun-
try has been made helpful to the
farmer as dictated by public SYM
pathy, but that the construction and
application can only be considered of
a temporary character, because pub
lie sympathy and public ideas change.
He claims that the majority of the
farmers in the United States do not
and will not join cooperative associa-
tons, and that therefore our farm
financial institutional laws have not
fulfilled their function as a whole
of the farmers in our country.
He shows that the extension of
farm credit has been mainly in such
communities where the farmers spec
ialize in some certain agricultural
product where conditions for some
are favorable and where they can
c,rooacc e., 1lxy ooorarota
He shows that short-sighted
policy has been followed by the fed
eral farm loan banks which have in
the past brought foreclosure and the
sale Of farms-millions of acres of
farm land, with the buildings there
on when, as matter of fact, the adj
vances made to the farmers through
federal farm loan banks have only
constituted twenty-eight per cent of
the appraised value of said farms.
He advises the farmers to keep
away from the idea of placing govern
ment in business, government bur-
eaus in farm management, etc., and
claims that the true field of cooper
alive effort is for the farmers to work
together for the purpose of reducing
production costs and standardizing
and improving quality.
Mr.. McFadden takes the position
that Congress or government should
definitely advise private capital that
it has nothing to fear from govern
ment in business or government inter-
ference in business.
He claims that the individual and
private capital should have this as
surance; and he maintains that if
this were done, the farmers situation
would be greatly improved

pose I could make long trips all around
the neighborhood looking for them and
sooner or later would find them. But
the quickest way and easiest way is
to keep watch of Reddy and Mrs.
Reddy and let them lead me to the
turkeys"
So. Hooty began hanging around the
Old Pasture, excepting during the mid
die of the day He pretended not to be
watching Red6Y and Mrs. Reddy. He
pretended to he simply hunting. 1t
Mrs. Reddy might wonder why he had
chosen the Old Pasture for his hunting
ground, when never before had he
paid 1t more than an occasional visit
He moderated the Smartness of Reddy
Fox. Yes, sir. he moderated Reddy'S
smartnesS. It doesn't do to underrate
people. You are almost sure to lose
out if you do.
So, Hooty took pains to be somewhere
within sight of the home Of Reddy in
the Old Pasture late in the afternoon
before it was time for Reddy to go
hunting Then he kept an eye on
Reddy and Mrs. Reddy wherever they
went. He did his best not to be seen
himself. But he was seen. And all the
time he was chuckling to himself and
Reddy and Mrs. Reddy were chuckling
to themselves. 1t was all sort OF
game to see who could out-smart the
other. And all the time the thoughts
of all of them were concerned chiefly
with turkeys.
Three days went past-three days
and three nights. BY day Reddy and
Mrs. Reddy and Hooty slept much of
the time. Late each afternoon all three
we're out and all night all three hunted,
for such is the way of these folks.
Hooty was beginning to get discour-
aged for not once had either Reddy
or Mrs. Reddy left the Green Meadows
and the Green Forest. They had kept
to their old hunting grounds. Hooty
began to wonder if after all they had
given up the idea of another turkey
dinner. However, knowing Reddy and
Mrs. Reddy as he did, he couldn't be-
lieve that.
Patience" he would mutter to him
self. Patience. Nothing is gained
without patience"
Curiously enough, Reddy was saying
much the same thing to Mrs. Reddy.
Both were anxious to get back for .ar-
other try at those turkeys, but both
realized it would be wise not to go
back too soon. Reddy had been shot
at and stung by the shot. They knew
that this meant that that farmer who
had fired the terrible gun would be
keeping a sharp watch over his turkeys,
for a while at least.

and Mrs. Reddy are going to try for

WHY THE LATE MAIL?

Just why, IN these days OF rapid transportation,
community the size of El Centro should have wait
until almost the close of the business day receive its
mail is somewhat difficult to understand and would
seen to warrant an explanation
The temporary discOntinuance Of trains between
the valley and Los Angeles because OF washouts
Indio following Sundays rain, for late
mail Monday, and though train service still in
terrupted on Tuesday, automobile travel available.
Unless we have been msinformed Tuesdays mail
was by train far Indo. It would seem that
arrangements could have been made to have brought
from Indo Ell Cenro by truck that it would reach
here much, if any later than its usual arrival time
Instead was after o'clock before it arrived here.
In the meantime hundreds Of businessmen went
without their mail. Hundreds of other residents
ticpating letters forced to wait hours for them
The two Los Angeles papers which have wide cir
cuation in the valley arrived here somewhat earlier
than they do when brought here by train instead Of be-
ing DELAYED as was the mail. Private business enter
prise concerned with giving the best service available,
rushed the papers straight through without delay
This differs considerably from the treatment &C
corded the mail. Whether the blame for the delay
belongs in Ell Centre, in Los Angeles elsewhere,
is not for US to say We do know that il is serious

Ell CENTRO LEADS

Figures don't lie" and figures show that Ell Cen
tro Is the steadest growing community in Imperial
valley as proved by the report of the county assessor
printed in yesterdays issue of the Press.
An increase of over half million dollars in the
assessed valuation of Ell Centre recorded since last
year This exceeds the greatest increase recorded
by Brawley, by S29,426.
The total valuation for the city is given as
$6O2S,73s very creditable showing for city of this
size
While naturally the Press is proud of the fine
lead Ell Centro has, and is certain that this lead can be
maintained, it is very gratifying to that all the
valley cities, with the single exception of Imperial are
steadily forging ahead. Substantial gain also noted
in the territory outside the incorporated cities
There is every to believe that the valuations
will increase greatly in the year. The valley is
just hitting its stride and the period of expansion that
can justly be expected within the next decade should
be visible to all.
Ell Centre should prepare itself for this expan-
sion. One of the for doing so is proper plan
ming and zonng of the cities Industrial and residential
sections and beautifying the city. Utility without
beauty is high price to pay for expansion the old
er cities in the country have long since learned
The leadership assumed by this city is justified
in the assessors figures and is the logical outgrowh
of its strategic position the center of Imperial
county. 1t should be the aim of all Ell Centrans to
keep this lead in every line of endeavor This is

future will be just what wish it to be-
