than foreign potash. I am unalterably opDosed
t. any tax being placed on fertiliz
ers which will result in an indirect tax on
our cotton or other farm products.
I also intend to favor some bill in Congress
regulating the packing house business.
The Federal Trade Commission has
reported to the president of our country
that these packers not only control the
meat supply but absoolutely dominate the
butter market, the egg market, the smoked
meat market, including lard, and that
they also are entering into all fields of the >
food supply as well as controlling the refrigerator
car service of the nation. I see
a great many newspaper articles calling
for investigation. I say the time has arrived
for action, and something should and
must be done to save the food suppy from
domination by any man or set of men and
to reduce the high cost of living.
I will also urge the continued support by
the Federal Government of the United
States Employment Service. The continuation
of this service has been strongly
urged by organized labor, manufacturers,
Chambers of Commerce and various welfare
organizations and from my personal

Columbia and South Carolina, I know
that it has proven very beneficial to all of
the people, especially the returning soldiers.
One of the important issues on which I
wish to express myself is that of the transportation
problem. The South Atlantic
ports and territory adjacent thereto have
too long suffered from adverse freight
rates as compared with the eastern ports. I
am particularly well acquainted with this
situation, having handled a number of
cases before the Interstate Commerce Commission
with reference thereto and the
merchants of Columbia will tell you of the
benefits which T havp secured for them ill
this connection. Favorable action after a
long fight now seems possible and it needs

the shoulder of a man who is entirely and I
thoroughly acquainted with the situation B
to put it across. m
And in this connection I wish to state 3
that I heartily favor the merchant marine B
service which is being established from the m
port of Charleston.- And I wish publicly H
to call on the people not only of this district If
but of the whole State to give this matter If
their hearty support. Then, too, our river m
navigation must be fostered and helped by m
the national government in order that tne wk % ,
people of this district may receive the bene- (j
fits that they are so justly entitled to. S
I will continue to urge federal aid for i
good roads and will support, or if neces- Jf
sary, introduce a measure asking the gov- i
ernment to increase their appropriation so ?
that the burden may not fail too heavily |
on our people locally. ?
I favor federal aid for the National E|
Guard but I will oppose compulsory military
training where the tendency is to foster
militarism. Of course, I favor military ?
colleges in all of their various branches of >
activity. And I firmly believe we should
have a navy sufficient to protect our rights
as a nation and which will at all times en- p
able us to enforce the Monroe Doctrine.
The interest and extension of the service of &
the Federal Reserve Bank and the Farm
Loan Board will have my hearty support.
I invite inquiry and suggestion from any M
man in the district as to any question which
may be of public interest to the entire dis- ^
tnVt or of snecial interest to his particular "J
locality.
To the returning soldiers, sailors and ||
marines, as well as to the families of those
