COOLIDGE Conferences at White House Include Many on Agriculture BY DAVID LAWRENCE > (Copyright 1924, Casper Tridune) WASE ‘ON, Dec. | 19,—Prest- dent Cool gave a considerable part of yesterday to a discussion of agriculture. Judge R. W. Bingham of Louisville ch of the na- tional council of the co-operative as sociations of Amer‘ca, had a long conference with the president, fol- towed by another between Mr. Cool- ldge and A. C, Hardison, of Santa Paula, California, president of the American Co-Operative Society of California, the latter two having been granted an engagement at the request of Gray Silyer, the bead of the American Farm Bureau. Judge Bingham’s visit had nothing to do with that of the other two co-operative farm leaders, his dis cussion covering mainly the im portant; conference that is to be held on January 5 of all the principal farm world Judge Bingham co-operative organizations in the farm world. Judge Bingham has associated with him on the natypnal council such men as Carl Witten. of Oklahoma; Aare ap al- | fornia; Dan Wallace, of St. Paul, Minn., and Frank O. Lowden of Il lino's. This group represents a member- ship of more than 600,000 farmers who are actively engaged in co-op: erative marketing. It is run on business principals and marks the beginning of a r step toward the Ideal state | riculture which has been urged neration. It is one of the d which the far- mer is learning to help himself without government interference or much government assistance. ‘The fact that the president talked with Judge Bingham at- length means that he izes the im portance of the na 1 council of the co-operatives anc would not be surprising if he delivered a care fully prepared address on agricul. meeting oc- tural policy when the partment of agriculture to the ald of the farmer. But by and large the farmers want to work out their own problems and they have already been encouraged by the success of the last three years to believe “that such a formula is best for all con- cerned, By a coincidence, the agricultural commission appointed by President Coolidge to investigate the whole farm problem resumes its sessions here on January 5 so. there is no doubt that the cooperatives and the commission will exchange thoughts. In fact, from that time on some- thing tangible in the way of legis- lative program may be expected and the congressional leaders may learn just what is the opinion of the lead- ers of the agricultural industry on measures pending in congress for farm a‘d. Judge Bingham naturally did not wish to discuss his,visit with the president, but it was stated by White House officials that the president wanted to talk over the whole prob- lem of. agriculture as it’ relates to the cowperatives and prepare his mind for the discussions wh’ch are to come after the first of the year. As for Messrs. Hardison and Wil- son, of California, they came on an errand whch is-of quite as great importance to agriculture, namely, the selection of an able secretary of agriculture. * They emphasized to the president. that they honed he would appoint a man of the mental ecalihre and energy and- vision of Herbert Hoover. They think agri- culture is the greatest single indus- try of America: and should have a business mind working on it. They have been impressed with Mr. Hoov- er’s indefatiguable labors in the de- partment of commerce and they have assurances frdm some of the men who cherish war time prejud ices in connection with the fixing of the price ef wheat that if Mr. Hoo ver would vy as hard in the de partme: riculture as he has in the dep: ant of commerce they would have no objection to his ap- pointment. The president, of course, realizes the value of Mr. Hoover in the de- partment of commerce and would be loath to transfer him. ‘The incl- dent indicates, however, how im- portant the agricultural interests of the country regard the filling of the agricultural portfolio in the cabinet. ene. 2 37 eA Fleet Maneuver Plan Assailed WASHINGTON, Dec. * 19.—The plan for maneuvers by the American curs.
