IN FARM SITUATION

for Equality With Industry
Is impending.
BY the Associated Press.

MOSCOW, Idaho, October 15.-Sena-
tor w. E. Borah told wheat farmers
IN campaign address here last night
the hight for equality between agricul-
ture and industry would reach a crisis
December 5, at the opening of the next
Congress.
The time has come for showdown
to flnd out whether the pledges Of our
polltlcal parties as regards agriculture
are going to be kept" he said. His
part in the farm relief fight" he said,
had Just started"
Farm Board Started Right.
He added he had little faith" in
the Federal Farm Boards ability to help
wheat farmers without the debenture
system.
THE Farm Board started out right"
Senator Borah said. "Legge alexander
Legge. chairman of the Farm Board)
set out to do the marketing for the
farmer. But about that time Julius
Barnes and other gentlemen of the
United States Chamber of Commerce
went to Washington. They convinced
Legge that he was on the wrong track;
at least ! presume they did, for Legge
quit. And instead he began preaching
for reduction in acreage.
THE effect of dumping he minimized,
saying 1t was old stuff for traders
who practiced it by selling on foreign
markets below prices wheat would sell
for in this country"
Referring to recent charges Of wheat
dumping" by the Russian Soviet, the
Senator said: "On one of the four
days Russia was selling her 1000. 900

he would vote against every tariff bill

TABLOID TO TELL
OF HOOvER'S WORKS
First Issue Will Contain Ar
ticIes by Will Irwin and
William Allen White.

A l2-page weekly tabloid to be called
Washington, sponsored by friends of
the Hoover administration to set forth
the achievements of the Government,
will make its first appearance Saturday.
Such well known writers as Will r.
win, author of a biography of the
President, and william Allen White of
Emporia, Kans., will have articles in
the first issue. Definite arrangements
have been made for two issues, on Oc-
tober Is and October IS, with the pos
sibility that it may be continued for a
longer period.
David Hinshaw of New York, who
took part in the Hoover preconvention
campaign in 1928, is in Washington to
direct the publication. Mr. Hinshaw,
who has his headquarters at the Carl
ton Hotel, said that while the publica-
ton would be under auspices of the
Republican National Committee, it is to
be handled separately from the COM
mittee under his direction. He said
support for the undertaking has come
from other sources.
The plan Mr.. Hinshaw said, Is not a
new one, but has been tried from time
to time during campaigns. The effort
OF tie publication will be to set forth
in an interesting manner what the
Government is accomplishing.

WORLD DEPRESSION
|. LAID TO PRESIDENT
James M. Cox Declares Pres
ent Administration Caused
Universal Condition.

The current worldwide business de-
preston was laid at the door of the
Hoover administration by James M. Cox
Democratic presidential nominee in
1920, who commended in his radio ad-
dress last night that not only was the
Iii condition started in the United States
but that 1.-The dreadful thing about it is
that it could have been avoided"
Mr.. Cox, who was speaking over the
National Broadcasting Co.'s chain of
stations, charged that the Hoover ad-
ministration encouraged the gambling
hysteria" which preceded the stock mar
ket crash. and that 1t then forced upon
an unwilling people the tariff law. which
later accumulated the depression"
/ I'VE must not lose sight of the fact"
Mr.. Cox declared, that our tariff
! changes were initiated when our coun-
try was living in an unprecedented
prosperity. When the President signed
! the now famous bill in the face of the
most representative, far-spread and
appealing memorials ever addressed to
an Executive he gave furtherance to the
ills born of his first failure to act in
face of an inevitable crash in our stock
markets.
All From Common Cause.
What is the answer to all of this
from Washington" Cox continued.
1.-The statement comes that business de-
preston is everywhere, and that not
only are the conditions of unemploy-
ment alike in all countries, but it all
arises from a common cauSe-over-
production.
There is no overproduction in the
sense that the President speaks of it.
There is shortage in the buying power,
ha 6oc liz,
we would be manufacturing normally
and we would buy If we we're employed.
I'VE were the industrial giant of the
earth, the great creditor Nation and
we we're producing one-third of all the
products of the globe and buying from
other nations, thus establishing an
economic balance that would have con-
tinued had We acted wisely.
When giant America was Frustrated
she curtailed her purchases abroad. This
occasioned unemployment there and
further diminished the purchasing
power. 1t is significant that this thing
did not start anywhere except in
America"
Need Human Engineer.
1.-TWO years ago we elected a Presi-
dent who was recommended as a great
engineer. That he was and is a great
engineer we do not doubt. But the
great need now is not a mechanical, but
human engineer. America is rich
in capacity to operate its machines. The
trouble Is in the lack of human en-
cheering which fails to put these fine
machines so fully at the service of
mankind as to escape the absurd and
almost criminal situation in which we
now find ourselves, with millions of
men and businesses suffering in a land
of overplus."

Trouble in West Virginia.

West Virginia Is full of trouble for
the Republicans, it is said. While 1t is
believed that they will be able to hang
on to the first and second districts
there, and possibly the fifth, the third
and fourth are likely to go Democratic.
On the other hand, it is said that the
Republicans actually have a fighting
chance to take the sixth district, which
is now held by Democrat.
Down in Texas, Representative Wurz-
bach, the sole Republican Representa-
tive from the Lone Star State, has a
good chance 20 be returned. The Re-
publicans say, too, that there Is a
chance for them to pick up a seat in
the third Rhode Island district. The
district has been represented by .Jere-
miah O'Connell, a popular Democrat
who resigned and is not again running.

BANKS SHOW GAIN

Controllers Call Reveals In

& of Last June. ~
BY EDWARD c. STONE.

c2ntrOller Pole issued a bank call
todSys asking for the condition OF all
washington banks on September "a.
A majority of the banks here show
gains over the deposits on the last call
Of June 30. 1890,
OF the first "a banks reached by tele-
phone after the call was announced, 1a
showed increases in deposits and S
revealed decreases in their deposits.
Tpe increases reported by the 10
BANKS are SUFFICIENT to give the banks
as whole substantial total gains over
the Zane figures.
Bankers today assigned the main rea-
Sons for the increases to the fact that
30 many people are now out of the stock
market and are holding their money
In the banks.
Another factor Is the business situa-
tom Many merchants have less money
ued M In their business than usual,
thus boosting the bank deposit totals.
"A third important reason Is that peo-
pie have spent considerably less money
IN travel during the past Summer. In
stead of taking extended vacations
many have remained at home much of
the time and kept their bank deposits
up as much as possible

Commodity Price
Trends of Week
BY H. N. McGILL.
Editor McGill Commodity Service.


AUBURNDALE, Mass, September 2e
hPl.-The average level of commodity
prices during the week Just closed de-
citned moderately from the previous
week. The weakness was largely due
10 agricultural products, which reached
"a new low. Agricultural districts view
with alarm the reports of large GUAM
titles OF wheat in Russia and the short
selling on the American Grain EX-
change. This development, coming at
"a time when bearish sentiment was
widespread, merely accentuated price
weakness. World wheat production this
gear promises to exceed last year by
around per cent. The volume how
ever, is under the previous five-year
average. Wheat prices, the lowest since
Pre-War, tend TO discount oversupply,
Out OF 10 individual commodity indices,
3 advanced last week, 9 declined and
3 remain unchanged
september has brought forth many
economic reports concerning inventories.
The facts show that stocks of raw ma
terials are large, over year ago, and
exceeding by marked margin the
previous flye-year average. This is off,
set by low stocks of finished goods
In recent years hand-to- mouth -buytng
policies have been employed, particu-
larry by retailers and wholesalers. A
check-up shows that stocks today are
low and broken This is the principal
optimistic factor for the closing months
of this year. A seasonal improvement
in industrial activity win bring in its
wake an increase in employment and
purchasing power. Therefore. a heavier
demand for finished goods means that
production schedules must be revised
upward and the demand for raw ma
terials also will increase.
Live Stock.
Prices of live stock recovered sharply
now the highest since last April The
statistical status of cattle is extremely
strong. but high prices will not help
consumption. 1t is estimated that dur
ing the past decade the per capita con-
sumption of beef has declined more
than so pounds.
Miscellaneous Groups.
Ferrous metals, fine textiles and veg
etahle oils all established new lows. The
sharp break in vegetable oils is attrib-
utable to the price weakness IN linseed
oil and further revision downward in

Pivotal Issues Gain.

United States steel ran up 2 points
from Saturdays final. American Tele-
phone had a larger gain, Westinghouse
Electric, above 1875, was points higher
than the low of the movement, and
American Can, which had resisted the
selling during recent weak sessions bet
ter than any other important indus
trial, forged ahead.
1t could not be said that sentiment
in the Street was changed in the slight
est. Disappointment was still expressed
over the business outlook, and peSsi-
mism as to particular situations was
undated. The oil stocks had almost
no friends, but there was more huuida-
ton in the rails, based on the August
earnings statements.
Texas Corporation was pressed for
sale until it got down to the lowest
since 1927, where the yield at the pres
ent dividend rate was more than 6R
per cent. Texas Corporation had the
best year in its history in 1929 but, of
course, like the other oil producers it
has suffered from the depression in the
trade this year.
The rails were not as heavily sold as
on Saturday. but early in the day they
recorded new lows, one of which was
