Che Casver Sunday Cridune DRYS PIN HOPE ON NEW MEASURE More Drastic Prohibition Enforcement Promised by Cramp- ton Bill, Reported Out of Judiciary Committee; Would Give Complete Control to Special Bureau By PAUL R. MALLON (United Press Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.— Congressional drys tonight pinned their hopes for more drastic prohibition enforcement legislation at this session on the Crampton bill, reported from the judiciary committee Two other measures, the Stal and placed in a position for passage before adjournment. er bill, providing mandatory sentences for all viola- tors of the dry laws, and the bill providing for deportation for aliens who violated the Volstead act, seemed buried. COUNTY TAXPAYERS ORGANIZE TO PROTECT BEST INTERESTS OF CITY AND FORCE ECONOMY A well directed effort to conserv and protect the people of Natrona county from excessive burdens of taxation was the organization yes: terday of Natrona County Taxpay- ‘s association, which association will operate to act promptly in every reasonable and constructive way to encourage economy in state, county and municipal government, consis- tent with efficiency and good bu ness. A special committee had been nam- ed at a special meeting of leading taxpayers of the county to work out the details of organization for a per- manent organization, The commit- tee reported the res of its delib- erations terday to the generat committee and its report was adopt- ed. ‘The special committee was com: posed of H, B. Durham, chairman; J. P. Kem, O. L. Walker, A. Baker and M. 0. Danford, One of the first problems brought before the association yesterday was that relating to the emergency now existing in certain county offices relative to the employment of do: puties and clerks and which -hed been brought to the attention of the association by county officials affected. As a result, a special com. mittee with M. O. Danford as chair- man, was named to confer with Gov. ernor Ross respecting this situation with a view of perhaps reaching some solution of the problem. The preamble under which the new association has been formed is broad in character and lofty in mo- uve and is set out as follows: “The association shall be formed by taxpa and through an execu. tive committee and officers shall en- deavor in all manner possible to co- operate with the duly constituted of- ficlals of the state, county and mun- GA TAX COMES UPON MONDAY (Continued From Page One) attorneys, An amendment was at- tached to the measure which speci- fies that the raise in prosecutor's wages applies only in those coun: Ues which have a population of or greater than 13,000, Delay was registered in the son ate’s consideration of the bill which, if passed, will make bible reading in public schools compulsory. The sen ute ulso laid over the severance tax amendment resolution. Representatives from Big Horn, Platte, Goshen and Park counties presented a measure yesterday morn- ing that provides for inposition of a severance tax on minerals. Harris of Big Horn county again stopped out with another bank guar- aunty bill. The history of the session thus far shows that the has’ already put two other such propositions be- fore the legislature. A state income tax measure affecting only wages and salaries was brought in by Bar- rus and Embree. Amendment of the state's truth in-fabric was offered in a bill law of yesterday's introduction.

I take great pleasure in introducing to you our former governor, Robert Carey." Governor Carey spoke as follows: “Mr. Speaker, Governor Ross, members of the legislature, ladies and gentlemen: This reception is a great decal of a surprise to me. I ap- Preciute having this opportunity to speak to you. but I am sorry I had 80 litle time to prepare. Mr. Under- wood called me this morning und asked me if 1 would come here and make a few 14murks, and I jotted down a few things that I thought might be of interest to you along agricultural lines. “I thought that you might be fa- terested in hearing of the work of the agricultural commission, of which ft happen to be chairman at thie time. When President Coolidge was elected he promised that he would appoint a commission, which com- mission would study the- problems of agriculture and report to him. in keeping with this promise, after the clection he chose a commission of nine :nembers. Three of the mem- bers of this board represent the lead- ing farm organizations in the United States—we have the president of the farmers' Unicon, the head of the Farm Bureau and the head of the National Grain asrociation. There are three members who represent the agricultural colleges—the presl- lent of the Kansas Agricultural col- lege, the dean of the University of Minnesota and the man {n charge of the New York agricultural station. Another is the president of the American National Livestock asso- slation, and another the head of the 3un-Made Raisin association, which is @ co-operative association of far. mers in California. I suppose, after getting all these brains together, the Prealdent thought it might be well to even the brains, so he chose me as chairman of this body. “The first occasion we went to Washington, we discovered we would have to get a lot of data together and information on the present agri- cultural situation, also we wanted to avoid, if porsible, suggesting new aws to the legislature, as there were so many laws on the statutes at the present time which would cover the matter, After receiving this informa- don we returned to Washington and were in session there for something over thirty days. “We took up as our first problem the cattle industry, We did this for she reason that there was a real emergency in the cattle industry— perhaps more so than any other line of agticulture. We determined to make a thorough study of the prob; lem, and the result of our findings was that the cattle industry today was in its present critical condition due to the war period, the high values placed upon livestock at that time and the deflated prices and dl- mished production that necessarily ocourred after the war. We discov: ered that there was a shortage of breeding cattle in the country caus- ed by financial conditions, and on account of forced liquidation the peo- ple had put thelr stock on the mar- ket and unfortunately there was no capital to buy these cattle and take them back on the farms, This is the real reason that the cattle industry is suffering today, We thought if the business could be financed that there would be an increase in cattle and the business would be put on a sound foundation again. “At one time we felt that it might be necessary for the Govern. ment to loan money direct to the cattlemen, but on investigation, we found there was a law in the Btat- utes covering this in the form of the Intermediate Credit Bank, which provided ample funda for this pur- pom. We also found that the Fed- eral Land Board, under the Inter- mediate Credit Bank, had not been making the effort to give relief to the people and there had been lack of interest taken in making the most needed loans. I suppose you are most of you acquainted with the Intermediate Credit Bank, but for those who are not, I will say that this organization ts for the purpo of making long time loans to the ag: riculturists. The loans which they are now to obtein from loaning agencies are for a period of thirty, sixty, ninety days, or perhaps six months. Under this Act, it is pos- sible to borrow for a period of three years. Loan companies can be sét up and the Intermediate Credit Bank will furnish them money ten timed their capital, which money can be loaned to farmers, For instance, suppose we have in Cheyenne a I! stock company with one million dol- lars capital, they could obtain from the Intermediate Credit Bank ten million dollars on it, and in turn Te-loan it to the farmers, “We had a conference with the Federal Farm Board in Washington and also had a conference with the president of the twelve regional banks. It has been arranged by the Federal Farm Board to make @ trip over the west to make an effort to organize the discount agencies, and they will do what they can to help out with the present sit- uation. . We alea found that the cost of transportation was too great, which was also a result of the War. The rates were too high as compared with the value of the products. We found, as in the past, large quanti: ties of the meat in foreign countries, as well as large quantities of hides, have been shipped into this coun. try, and we recommend hereafter on hides and meat a tariff be laid to adequately protect the grower. “Another matter which we inves- Ugated was the matter of the Gov. ernment domain for the cattlemen and sheep men. We considered selling theee lands, but we felt that Congress could not sell these lands at a figure that would justify the cattlemen and sheepmen in purchas- ing them, so we recommended the leasing bill so we could lease the balance of the Government domain, and in recommending this we also recommended that a board should be appointed consisting of the Secre- tary of Agriculture and the Secre- tary of the Interior. These men should assist in working out uniform laws and regulations for the public domain and forest reserve. “In our second report, we en- deavored to take up and review legis- lation which is pending Congress, which legislation we thought there was a chance of being enacted into a law. We recognized the fact that there were many good laws, but no law that could cure all the troubles of agrioulturis: and we also realize that the problems in agriculture are continually chang- ing and would require watching and more laws would be necessary from time to time. “There is no question bit that the American farmers must denend up- on an American market for their products, They can not compete with the foreign agriculturists for the reason that they have a lower standard in production-and we can not compete upon a world market. We felt in enacting legislation that might stimulate production, it would make things worse than they are today. “We also realize the difference ti the cost of the farmer's product and the cost of other things—that he has to pay more in proportion than what he recelves. We realize that some means must be devised to take up this difference, and about the ‘only way we could find was that of a bet- ter system of marketing, and also by advising him as to how waste in agriculture would be eliminated. I will not go into the different forms of waste, but might mention that there is a practice of shipping a car of products into one part of the country and sending a car of the same product from that part into another place, and the idea was to find some means to wipe out these forms of waste, and others if I might take the time to mention them. We concluded the greatest thing we could do for American agriculture was to bring about a system of coop- erative marketing. The farmers Problem is largely a marketable one. As a producer, when he thinks of selling of his products, he is a good deal like a manufacturer would be if he manufactured all kinds of pro- ducts, stored them away and then at some time of the year sent word to all to come and buy what they wish- od. That is the way with thé farm. or. We made a study of the market- ing bills before congress. Many of these bills had excellent ideas, but nono of theri had the ideas we felt Were needed, as on account of fall. urs and setbacks it would take many years to overcome the pres- ent condition. So we recommended the estabishment of a cooperative marketing board. It will be the pur- pose of this board to’ assist where they are asked to assist in organia- ing cooperative societies. It will also be their duty to advise and study the problem of each locality, and to furnish such information as may be necessary before these s0- cleties can be organized intelli, 1 ly. We also plan to have this board view the methods in Washington. We found there was as much jeal- ousy between the different depart- ments—jealousy between the girls, and it was not best for the agricul. ture study to work with the Depart- ment of Commerce, Treasury de- partment and other departments that might have to do with agricul- ture, and so we thought this board might represent agriculture and call on other departments tn Washing- ton for assistance. They can look after the farmers, ax other busi- nes! are belng looked after in Washingto®, which businesses are able to employ high priced people to look out for their interests. This board will act as a co-ordinate as. sociation—as a clearing house for this association, as we hope to see it. Under this plan any organization can become federally organized and this board will furnish auditors so that the business organization will be conducted fn a business-like man- ner, They will also have the right to act as arbitrator when problems come up demanding arbitration. An- other measure was an amendment to the Intermediate Credit Act so that it will be possible for Federal organizations to take advantage of the money appropriated. We recommended the passage of the Hodge-Smith resolution, which resolution directs the Interstate Commerce commission to make {n- vestigation and to make readjust- ment as it affects agriculture. The idea {s that they will make the ro- adjustment of agriculture. We also endorsed again the leasing bill whNvh was introduced by the Secre- tary of Agriculture and the Secre- tary of the Interior. I might say that this is the first time that these two departments have ever agreed to the leasing bill, We need some more recommenda- tions on the tafiff, calling attention to the fact that the tariff should be kept where it would be impossible for foreign producers to compete. We also recommended that the time of cattle to be returned from Mexico—American cattle which Were sent there on account of drought, There were many other measures which had merits, but we did not have time to recommend them in this fon of congr In study: bh we found that @ had ample laws, but unfortunately those who were SUNDAY, FEBRUARY §, 1925 administering them were not ad- ministering them properly and we made recommendations to the presl- dent in regard to this. We found that the jealousy existing between appointments were seriously inter- fering with the proper administra- tion of law and we found that girl heads were more interested in get- ting large appropriations than in doing the service that they were expected to do. ‘The banking system came in for some attention, We found that there were eleven thousand state banks in the United States which were eligible for membership under the Federg! Reserve act,-and but wixteen hundred fifty of thi had joined the Federal Reserve. We thought we would have a much bet- ter system of banking if these banks could brought into the Federal Reserve and we felt that if the mem- bers of the board and those in charge of that law would make the proper effort.and would not be quite as “hard-boiled” as they are at pres- ent, perhaps a number of these banks Could be brought into the Federal Reserve system, which would mean better banking through- out the United States and through- out the agricultural districts. It was discovered that our quar+ antine laws were not being enforced as they should be and there were many cases where diseases were be- ing brought to plants and animals where thesé conditions could be avoided. We found that nearly every state had different quarantine regulations and there was no uni- formity and none could agree. This was true of the foot and mouth dis- ease in California. Nothing was done for some time while the gov- ernment and the state of California were exchanging telegrams. It was discovered that the Inter state Cammerce commission was originally organized to be of assist- ance to the people where they have complaints to make regarding freight rates. In the congress which took place at the time that law was en: acted it was found that those who advocated the law stated it was necessary to have some member who would look out for the interest of the peopl their case if necessary, fortunate that the Interstate Com- erce commission has since that ume deveioped into a court. It has not only developed into a court, but it is most difficult for one to present a cage. The ordinary farmer can not afford to employ an expensive attorney, as a rule. It was recom: mended that the Interstate Com- merce commission get back to what it was intended and be representa- Ulve of the people. We also investigated the tariff commission. This commission you know is supposed to make recom- mendations to the president of any changes in the present laws, and in- crease the tariff as needed. We recommended it should be the duty of this commission to watch agri- culture and keep track of condi- ions and make recommendations when they were necessary. These were a few of the things that we have recommended—thinge that we believe would help the situa- tion. We are not through with our work. We will have a number of other things to recommend, but I want to say this, that we all realize that it is a fact that if agriculture is to be put on its feet and be straightened out, the greater part must be done by the farmer himself. He must realizo that he must be a business man. We can do things— con; is Can pass laws, and sugges: tions will help, but when we come right down to the bottom of things, the farmer himself has to organize, has to develop his business and run his bitsiness the same as other peo- ple run theirs if he expects to get on the same plane and have his business compare with other indus- tries, < As I sald in the beginning, it is very pleasant to bo here, and I ap- preciate this opportunity, and I also wish to thank you for listening so well to what [ha said. Memories of this room have always been most pleasant to me, as it re- minds me of other legislatures when I was among you. As I remem, ber, we got along well, and all de- parted very good friends, and, while { am not in position to hand out anything like Mr, Jenkins has in his bills, but I will tell you men that I have heard very good things around town concerning your work, and in fact think it is the best legislative body that the state has had.
