The veto of the McNary-Haugen bill
Was expected Public opinion, as ex
greased in the metropolitan press
which okehed the grounds upon which
the veto was based—cculd also be
expected. Tariff protected capital
naturally would endorse any action
which would deny agriculture eny
where near an even break.
* One nationally known financia
writer was honest enough—and bold
enough to admit- ‘'Yet there is not
lacking in financial circles an uneasy
feeling thslt something will have bo be

Nothing k ever settled until it is

Gas-Foot Advice.
“Whom the gods would destroy,
they first make mad.” Maybe you
can’t associate that old philosophy
with your 1927 safety.; Maybe you
are one of those who Controls his
temper at ft ll times, never getting mad
—that is, “anything that amounts to
anything.”
All fair enough—a few years ago—
but not in £hia day and age. The road
hog in big super-six and the growing
tendency amongst all of us not to be
imposed upon, js the reason.
Don’t get mad—even—while driving
an automobile.
Sure ft makes you mad—when-they
out in on you, paas on the wrong side,
fail to aignal far turn, etc.
Records from teru traffic courts in
as many different peaks of the United
States show that momentary loss of
temper by drivera is the cause of n
majority of motor smaahups.
Remember this. It may save your
life. ♦

Mrs. CobluTge Hikes
-NATIONAL-
Could Reduce Rates on Farm
Products Without Cutting Pay
y
Chicago, March 7.—On the same day
President Cobtidge vetoed the Mc
Nary-Haugen farm relief bill, he
ed the branch banking bill which
described as giving what amounts to a
(perpetual charter to the Federal Re
serve System, and increased the tariff
on pig i#on fifty per cent, Senator
Smith W. Brook hart, of Iowa, said
here yesterday in an address before
the Chicago forum.
This action by the President on the
same day, Senator Brook hart said,
shows the whole story of the legisla
tive-economic situation which now
oppresses the American farmer.
The railroads, he said, were given
a value by government order of nearly
$19,000,000,00o. On this value, the
government decided, they have a right
to earn a prifit of 5.75 per cent. But
in reality, said Senator Brookhart, the
true value of the roads is less than
$12,000,000,00o and the government al
lowed profit amounting to more than
9 per cent. Citing what he described
as other transaction injustices, he
added:
“If these things were made right,
the rates on farm products could be
reduced without reducing the wages
of eny railroad worker.”
The manufacturing industries, -‘her
said, represent only two-thirds the
ital represented by agriculture,
threei-quartors of the number of
workers employed on farme. Yet, he
declared, American farms did only
twelve and one-third billion of dollars
of business in 1923 against 44 billions
for manufacturing industries if the
figures for manufacturing were ad
justed to the farm basis.
“All these things,” he said, “the
railroad laws, the federal reserve sys
tem, the tariff, the patent and public
utility laws, were brought by acts of
congress.
“The farmers are the only „ cl^ss
which, the president saya, can take
care of themselves without protection.
If you do not watch out, agriculture
will be industrialized and controlled by
New York, jpst as you may have the
hindquarters of the railroads in Chi
cago, but their headquarters are in
New York. And then agriculture no
longer will be organized in what has
always been the true American unit
—the farm home and the- farm
family.”
