REMOVING THE FARMERS HANDICAP While the tariff fogies at Washington arc trumping up a bill to “protect” the American farmers by imposing a practical embargo on imports, Secretary of Agriculture Wallace is telling the country how the farmers can receive some real help at the hands of the government. Mr. Wallace doesn’t advocate artificial stimulation nor propose something that will reflect itself in heavier living costs upon the general public. All he wants is to remove the heaviest hindrance which agriculture is bearing today—excessive freight rates. The effects of the abnormal transportation charges now in force are thus aptly summarized by the secretary of agriculture. “First, to favor the farmers of South Affieriea and Australia at the expense of our own farmers and all the more so because of the substantial decrease in ocean rates. “Second, to keep prices on farm products in the large surplus producing slates at figures lower than are justified by the investment In land and equipment and cost of production. "Third, prolong the period of dissatisfaction among the farmers and encourage advocates of economic fallacies of all sorts. “Fourth, improve the position of

eastern truck and fruit growers, but add considerably to the cost of milk and dairy products because of the advanced prices of hay and coarse grains necessarily shipped in from the west. "Fifth, gradually shift industrial enterprises westward, nearer the surplus food, producing territory. "Sixth, promote sectional rather than national spirit and make more and more difficult lake national policies with respect to internatioual affairs.” This is a practical summary by a practical man-not far fetched abstractions, but concrete actualities and imminent probabilities. Every farmer who has direct contact with the market knows what freight rates have done to prices of his product. But

every farmer does not realize how the effect of high freight upon general industry and commerce retards prosperity and cuts down the demand for his goods. The tariff doctors may shut .out every bushel of grain from other countries and it will not aid the farmer a particle so long as wo are exporting—as we have for a long time past—one third or more of our farm products. But once let the railroad rates be restored to a normal basis —not only on farm products but on all commodities —and see how conditions in agriculture "come back.” The difference between the “remedies” of the tariff quarks and the simple proposal o( Secretary Wallace is the difference between superstitious quackery and 'economic science.—Akron Times. Fred Bell, the newly elected dem ocratic chairman, has already made a record in this city for organization and as a fine upstanding man Fred cartie here from Decatur some years ago, and has been connected with the .John A. Morris Company, and is now one of the leading men in that great <otr.!>any. While Mr. Bell's work takes him away from the city some, lie is at home practically all the time ■nd will have ample time to give Wellss county a fine organization Fred has the confidence of all who know him, and before the campaign has gone long he will know practical ly every democrat in the county. —Bluffton Banner.

Mr. Cartwright of Jay county, who according to the ’Republican will lose Vestal 5,000 votes and the ticket in Jay county 500 votes, was elected over the threats of the progressive element in the district meeting yesterday al Muncie and now what kind of a flip flop will be necessary to line up the ■boys? Politics is becoming so scram bled that it will take considerable es fort to unravel it. Since that happened to Harry Newover in Indiana we have revised the set speech we had prepared for our coming swing around the circle, eliminating all references to the glorious constructive record of our great Republican Congress and inserting in their place a few impassioned general remarks about the Old Flag, which seem safer. —Ohio State Journal. 1 Growing weather with showers morn ling and evening.

As Mr. Carmody told the Yoe ■ I men committee here a few weeks ago, ■ I this part of the country never has a ■ crop failure. We will make a good M showing when the harvest days come.

The organization work now going lon may not be of so much interest to the average voter but is mighty im- | portant so far as securing a majority vote next November is concerned. ——— • I Two Policemen Killed in Chicago Labor War | from page one) II The war started when Landis, call- | ed in by contractors and men to seti tie the dispute in the building trades Il set wages. . .
