%THE RISE OF SAINT CALVIN, -
Il by Duff Gilfond, indicates that
the American nation has produced
another folklore figure, creation
into whose making fact and legend
have contributed almost equally and
which, in consequence, is deeply and
typically American.
The book is simply collection of
anecdotes about Calvin Coolidge
and, I hasten to inform you, it
makes elegant reading.
Mr.. Gilfond has gone away back
to Mr.. Coolidge's boyhood for his
earliest tales, and by a judicious Sc
lection has compiled them so as to
provide sort Of informal and
sketchy biography.
His book may not give you q full
picture of the Presidents career,
but it certainly does give you a good
picture of the man himself.
Thus we see Mr.. Coolidge, as an
Amherst senior, joining a newly
formed fraternity with laconic and
Unconditional brevity; finding his way
through the tortuous mazes of
Northampton politics with a sure
footing; rising as a power in the
state with the support of both "the
interests" and the common people,
and following an extremely lucky
star to the White House with an
uncanny political shrewdness.
You can read here, too, the rather
surprising inside story of that IA
nous Boston police strike; and if the
story doesn't increase your apprecia-
ton of Mr.. Coolidge's adroitness,
nothing will.

KiIIinq the Primary

Out of the smoke filled" rooms
which novelists and motion picture
directors like to use as the locale
of political plots and stratagems
come whispers Of another fight on
the primary.
In 1929 a Republican Legislature
abolished the presidential, senatorial
and Governor primary elections in
Indiana.
This put nominations for all state
Offices in convention.
All that we're left to the primary
were county and city posts.
Now 1t is proposed that the next
legislature abolish the primary cleo
ton for municipalities.
A bill for repeating city, county
and congressional primaries was in
PRODUCED in the special session last
summer, but died in committee.
Machine politicians now bewail
this oversight, because, with Re-
publican senate and a Democratic
house, neither party could have been
blamed for the repeater"
Il
The direct primary was won in
1915 only after years of bitter fight
ing and a campaign of education.
Men Of -idealistic and progressive
temperament, such as Albert Bev-
eridge, led the fight in Indiana
against the machine politicians, be-
cause they felt that it was the only
route to representative government
The greatest and strongest objec-
ton presented against the direct
primary is that it permits, in some
instances, nomination by an organ
lied minority bloc, such as the dry
league or the Khan.
The obvious answer to this is
through education of all the citizens
to vote in a primary.
On the other hand, the county
and city convention is controlled
easily by the BOSSES"
The precinct committeeman do
the nominating and those who
control the organization tell them
how to vote.

Incidentally, in connection with
this, an error was made in a recent
issue of this column. 1t was stated
that city precinct committeeman are
elected in the city primary. They

'Ye-es," said Tom, stopping with
his hand on the latch Of the door.
But Binks-be CAREFUL"
What could possibly happen in
five minutes" She stopped. What
had happened in five minutes, early
that still, hot morning? Not trusting
herself to speak, she nodded and
hurried over the grass toward the
service entrance
She presumed she gave intelli-
gent directions, for after their first
expression Of concern neither Rosie
nor Annie seemed to regard her
with any degree of alarm.

FARM UNION BLAzEs TRAIL


(lnfOrmal emafh " Inc EQltOr)
1t is an honor and a pleasure to have so many of MOntanas best
citizens with us. The best because they are the survivors after a
grueling period of pioneering. Now they are pioneering in a new field
of MISUNDERSTANDING the trail to farm prosperity
When President Hoover signed the Agricultural Marketing act,
the first big piece of farm legislation, the Farmers Educational and
Cooperative Union of America saw it's opportunity and became the
leading grain cooperative under the National Grain corporation. The
organization took on new strength and new courage It's marketing
plan was practical and acceptable. With funds to finance its opera
lions it has entrenched its departments and units until even in the
present subnormal conditions it can stand against the bitter opposi
ton of the terminal grain merchants.
Farm organization is the most difficult of all to permanently
achieve. Many agricultural orders have been born ito Iangush and die
because of incompetent, unfaithful or iladvised leadership But now
the time has come when agriculture must either swim or sink. And it
is going to swim. AS mayor Lisug said, the principle on which the
Farm Union is founded will not die. Some organization will carry it
through to glorious, lasting success. With loyal, unselfish leaders and
management that recognizes the essential value of patience, consider
alton and proportion, backed by unyielding determination, that organf
cation will be the F. E. C. U. of America A just cause pressed with
reason and courage will win the battles that eventually win the war

praiTes of southeastern Dakota territory where the editors father
established his family on a homestead. A 14inch breaking plow and
two horses IT oxen, other implements equally Anticipated. A few acres

organizers have built

said this plan was deserted as so
didn't have capital enough to pay
taxes with. A consumption tax is
unfair because it bears no relation
to ability to pay Uncle Sam lev
les S1.20 tax on a pound of cigar
cite tobacco. The millionaire and
the pauper pay just the same tax
on their cigarettes. "A system that
taxes a pauper just the same as
a Henry Ford. is a damnable sys-
TEN" he said. The consumption tax
in the United States amounts to
about $500 per capita, or about S25
for the average family. 1t is con-
sidered a painless method of tax
alton.
Congress Helps Big Business
He asserted that when the bank
ers, the railroads and the insur-
ance companies got in a financial
jam, they all went to Congress for
aid, and they got it, but when the
farmers were hit by the depres-
sion, and went to Congress asking
for aid for their industry, they did
MT get it. He told about q series
of breakfast parties given by Pres
ident Hoover, when the President
put up to the Legislators in effect,
"Unless you pass this $4,000, 0O0,-
900 finance bill, inside of 80 days
not a bank in the country will have
its doors open" And yet an issue
of Treasury bonds was oversub-
scribed 1872 times, and treasury
officials saw in this over-subscrip-
ton complete confidence in the
dollar" Investments in dollars in
stead of investments in property
is what is the trouble with this
country, Mr.. Simpson said. When
investors started to make the
money crop short by c%ornering and
boarding it, they knew that the
dollars would go up in value and
wheat and oats and other products
would go down.
Interest at Less than 1ob
Reverting to the Frazier bill
which would have allowed farmers
to borrow direct from the govern
ment at 11a percent interest, he
