Itc “Make Government Safe for Govern ed,’* He Demands In Speech At Public Affairs Institute University of Virginia, Aug. 13.— William Gibbs McAdoo, former secre tary of the treasury and an aspirant for Democratic presidential honors, pleaded here today to “make govern ment safe for the governed.” The de mand—taken by some as a possible future party war cry--came in a institute of public affairs. McAdoo defended governmental reg ulation of all phases of Hfe, assailed corruption in government, and assert ed that the “natural rights” theory that are sacred from interference from society, even when acting in its con stitution making capacity,” McAdoo f>aid. In demanding that the country proposed by some wets was the theory “make government safe for the gov- of “reactionary extremists and un thinking radicals.” “Under the influence chiefly of a dislike of one of the recent amend ments to the constitution, the case for private rights has been pushed to its logical conclusion and it is being frankly contended in much current dis- NOTICE—Dr. J.

If there are no ad ditional hail storms and if killing frosts hold off long enough to permit the corn to mature, the Northwest should enjoy the greatest crops in its history. The political leaders referred to this as Coolidge luck, while the fanners retort by saying ‘If this is 25.00 Coolidge luck we wish the President would spend every summer with us.’ Surely it is interesting to see the dis tinct change of sentiment which has taken place in this section of the coun try within the past two months.

With money rates so exceedingly low in the East, the banks of the East will^e very glad to ship all needed funds West for crop moving purposes. Owing to a slack ening in general business throughout the East and the prime condition in which railroads now have their freight cars, there should be no shortage of cars in the Northwest.

Tl*e<lifficulty has apparently been due to the increased prosperity of the wage workers of the country. The change in the standard of living, on the part of wage workers during the past ten years, has completely upset the livestock industry. This change has been accentuated by the develop ment of small packing houses in small cities and the use of motor trucks to transport livestock from the farms to these smaller packing houses. The re adjustment of the cattle industry to these new demands together with a wave of economy now developing in certain Eastern industrial ceneters— bled white by installment selling—is bringing back into equilibrium the live stock industry. Corn Still Late “Since the 20th of May I have trav eled about 10,000 miles throughout the g^eat agricultural sections of the United States and Canada. Wheat growers everywhere are enthusiastic,. ■— livestock interests are encouraged, ! || while those engaged in diversified farming are well satisfied with the 1927 crop outlook. Farmers, however, who raise only com are very nervous as to the outlook. Ah early killing In frost—such as some of the weather [I prophets forecast—would be a very serious blow to the corn sections of the country. Com is late everywhere from two weeks to a month. During the first week of Aug^is,t in a normal year all of the com is in tassel. This year it is even now just beginning to tassel, while many fields are still only •bout knee high. What the future will bring forth to the com growers can not be foretold. The recent hot weath er should greatly help. As nearly ev ery section has had sufficient mois ture a hot August will do much to remedy the situation. Therefore, let no one complain of the heat during the next few weeks.
