It is the position held by the most ardent drys, like Senator llorah of Idaho, mil is directly opposed to Smith’s ‘ontention that itu Volstead act can he nu llified to permit the sale of light wines and beerit. Hoover went further than the platform of the party in accepting prohibition as a gagi nf battle for the Presidential election. He was more leflnite regarding farm relief, too. He lid not mention the mooted equalization fee theory of the vetoed Mo-N'ary-Haugen hill. But he announced himself in favor of a three fold agricultural program for meeting this issue which he con idered of primary importance. He proponed first, revision of existing tariff rates to afford the farmers’ adequate protection, secondly, development of chea|s-r transportation facilitieg by modernizing inland waterway particularly the Mis issippi system The Great Lakes routes and o|»»-iiing a shipwav from the Great Luke to the Atlantic o<- ■ an, and thirdly, re-organization of the marketing sy t. m upon sounder and more economical lines. "The working out of agricultural relief constitutes the most important obligation of the next administration," he said. "I stand pledged to these proposals.” Aside from these two major iaues, Hoover made his position clear regarding other Governmental problems in a crisp epigranamjc style. His entire speech was written around the text of continued prosperity, development of the nation's resources and the conduct of national affairs in a munner designed aoley to make this country a more i >mfnrtuhle place
to live.
Hoover announced he favored an expenditure of a million dollars in the next four years for cheapened rans|tortation, irrigation, redama'tion, domestic water supply, Hydroelectric power, public roads, and public building*. He definitely opposed the national origin clau-e of the immigration system. He scoffed at suggestions that the tariff should be lowered. He promised to conduct an honest campaign in which every penny spent would be accounted for. He pledged himself to the protection of trade unions, endorsing the principel *>f collective bargaining and promised to work for curtailment of the use of injunctions in labor disputes.

Our problems of the past seven years have been problems of reconstruction; our problems of the future are problems o‘: construction.
They are problems of progress.
During these years our population has increased eight percent. Yet our national income has increased 45 percent. The number of families has increased 2,300,000 and we have built 3,500,000 new and better homes. We have equipped 9,000,000 more homes with electricity, and through it drudgery has been lifted from the lives ot women. The barriers of tune and distance have been swept away and life made freer and larger by the installation of 6.000,O'lO more telephones, 7,000,003 radio sets and the service of an additional 14,000,000 automobiles. D) rigorous economy, federal expenses have been reduced two billions annually. The national debt has been reduced six and a half billions. Taxes have been reduced four successive times We have doubled savings deposits and n«ar-

Cause and Effect
"There are many causes for failure ef agriculture to win Its full share of national prosperity. The after-war de llul ion of prlreg not only brought great dlreet losses to the farmer, hut he was often loft Indebted in Inflated dollars to be paid In deflut'-d dollars. Prices aro often demoralized through gluts in our markets during the harvest season. Loeal taxes have I i u In creased to provide the Improved r< ads and schools. The tariff on some products is proving Inadequate to protect him from Imports from abroad. The | Increases In transportation rati » rim e the war has greatly affected tho price i which he receives for his products. I Over six million fanners In times of t surplus engage In destructive comp tl tlon with ono another In sale of th a product, often depressing prices below th i e levels that < ould he maintained. 1 "The whole fendoury of oar clvillza 1 tlon during the last 50 years has hecn toward an Increase In the size of the

I am convinced this form of action, us it has done In other Industries, can honellt farmer, distributor and con-

Greater Opportunities “The working out of agricultural relief constitutes the most Important obligation of the ic \t Administration. 1 stand pledged to these proposals. The object of our policies is to establish for our farmors an lncouio equal to those of other occupations; for the fanner's wife tho same comforts In | her homo ns women In other groups; ' for the farm boys and girls tho mime opportunities In life as other boys and gil ls.

Nor does this proposal put tho government Into bus!ness except so fur ns It Is called upon to furnish Initial capital with which to hulld up the farmer to the control of
