HIPSTEAD DENIES FARM ILLS HEALED G. 0. P. Panacea Failure and Discontent Is Keen, Senator Says. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Staft Correspondent of The Star. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July 11 Coolidge 1 have not solved the western farmer’s problems or weaned him from radicalism, according to Sen ator Henrik Shipstead, Farm Labor’s lone sentinel in the Congress of the United States. Shipstead declares that “the soll is more fertile than ever” for the seeds that La Follette planted. They have not been stamped out sither by the passing of the gressive leader or by ‘superficial signs” that prosperity and the Repub lican party have come in the Northwestern country. The basic causes of discontent, Shipstead con tends, are still at work, and, until eradicated, root, ste nd branch will grow and spread. They are em-| bedded in fundamental conditions, and, unless tackled at their founda tion, the farmink West will know no zenuine or I ief. Nature become its seasonal but as the Government withholds concrete econom jort, Senator Shipstead foreshadows a chronically precarious existence for agriculture, with all the political consequences that implies. he says, pro | | | back ally s le Impatient With Claims.

Shipstead is amazed at Minnesota people’s eagerness, as indicated by bis innumerable invitations to speak, for information and guidance on ecc nomic questions. He i de ssing them in the same language he used in 1922, when he defeated Secret Kellogg for the Senate. HIS meetin astonish him by their size and by th keen hunger for political light leading.

These are the lines along which Senator Shipstead is holding forth in | Minnesota this Summer. La Follette's | death was a personal blow to Ship- stead, who looked up to the Progres- sive chieftain almost as to a father, but he insists it is of nc grave con sequence to the Farm-Labor move ment. Shipstead has always modeled his politics on the La Follette patter and labored with his people in terms of hard economic facts, rather than popular clap-trap. “I never tell them any funny stories,’ Shipstead. Chey can get all that sort of thing in the movies. They are coming to understand, as La_ Follette through the vears taught the people of Wi cousin to what supply and d 4 n. inflation, arti ficial credit Iy and the tariff mean in the every-day life of men and women. more they learn about these things, the less easy it is to fool them. They are certainly in just as little humor to be fooled today as they were in 1922. If anything, they are more cynical than ever toward the politicians ‘and their posing.” sit sta “There’'s a reason son is that the plain pe sota know that, des; clamor for bread Government, he mar ading one into eas Always Gather Crowd. This writer asked Senator Shipstead to summarize the gospel he is preach- ing in Minnesota. There is not a day that hé is not asked to preach it some- where in the State. Except for his need of a vacation, he would be busy doing nothing else all Summer. He devotes nearly every week end to the task, which he finds as instructive to himself as it can possibly be to his big rural audiences. A country newspaper with a circulation of only 2,000 will announce that Shipstead is to speak in a pasture outside of a town on the succeeding Saturday or Sunday after- noon. That sufficies to bring out an attendance to anywhere from 4,000 to 6,000. From the four quarters of county both the town and countr folk will flock .to the meeting place and stay as long as Shipstead cares to talk to them He has no difficulty sometimes, in interesting them as long as two or three hours on end. “This is what T say to them, in sub- stance,” Shipstead told me. “I show them that, notwithstanding incessant promises and pledges to the farmer, during and after politicai camp the farmer is never allowed to edge his way to the public trough in Washing ton. The agricultural industry is America’'s foremost industry, but is hindmost in respect of the favors which a business-controlled Government be- stows upon its privileged friend: ‘When high finance, or the manufac- turing interests, or the railroads, want something at Washington they get it as their natural right. Finance gets Government support for its foreign loaning operations. Manufacturing gets the protective tariff. The rafl. roads get the Esch-Cummins transpor- tation act Says Farmers’ Case Differs, “All these bounties are bestowed in order that the interests in question may be assurred of fair returns on their investment. That is called statesmanship. But when the farmer comes along and asks for ways and means to guarantee him a fair return on his investment he is denounced as a radical, and all he gets is the cold shoulder. He got it when he asked for the McNary-Haugen bill, which is nothing more or less than tariff pro- tection in another form.

GERMANY TO SEEK FAVORED POSITION of Reply Soon to Be Made to Se- curity Pact Note. By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News. BERLIN, July 11.—Within a few days the German government will despatch its answer to the French security pact note, accepting the note in principle as a basis for further dls- cussi The question to be settled is whether Germany will merely allude to the necessity of negotiating further on certain points or will point out the difficulties in the present reply. Naturally the question of entry into the League of Nations Is coupled with the pact. The German answer prob- ably will point out that it has not vet received satisfactory answers to its objection concerning article 16 and will seek to obtain a favored posi- tion in this respect Foreign Minister Briand's inststence upon Germany's entrance to the league as a sine qua non for a pact has aroused considerable resentment here, but the writer believes the Ger- man government hopes to find a formula over article 16 which will enable Germany to enter the league this vear.

Barnes. ought to give the agriculturist a lit- tle of that Government aid which the industrial interests of New England, for instance, have so long been able to commandeer. When the farmer seeks his place in the protective sun he is accused of wanting the Government to become a price fixer. But he knows perfectly well that the tariff in effect fixes the prices on the manufactured commodities he must buy, and fixes them good and high. “T'm telling the people another thing that hasn't so completely dawned on them as industry's prefer 1 place at the public trough.

That job is now bossed by the director of the budget. The Con stitution gives the people, through Congress, the right to control taxa- tion. Nowadays Congress gets a Mel lon plan and is told to sign on the dotted line. The Constitution con- fers upon the people, through Con- gress, the right of free speech and un trammeled debate on legislative occa sions. Along comes the latest and ereatest scheme of all, to suppress the rights of the people, whereby dis-| agreeable discussion in the United States Senate can be choked off or gagged whenever it becomes embar- rassing to the higher powers. That's called a revision of the rules 25. by Chicago Daily News Co.) m es La Follette Filibuster. “The last time I saw Senator La | Follette in Washington he told me | how a filibuster four years ago saved | the Amerfcan_taxpayers $900,000,000 at one blow. Just before the adjourn- ment of a regular session of Congress appropriation bills ageregating $3,000,- 000,000 were brought in. Senator La Follette, in order to obstruct that rald on the Treasury, talked against the bills so long that it was impossible to bring them to a vote and pass them before the statutory adjourn- ment of Congress at noon on March 4. A special session was called for the purpose of ramming the appropria- tions through. But before they could be debated a total of $800,000,000 was withdrawn. Its sponsors feared to face the flerce debate the bills would have had to withstand if their authors had dared to defend them. That showed what unlimited and ungagged discussion can do in the realm of ex penditure, to say nothing of the threatened rights of the people that might be involved on other occasions.” Senator Shipstead snorts at the sug- gestion that the Farm-Labor move- ment in Minnesota, or the radical movement elsewhere, has gone where the woodbine twineth, just because the Republican party_roiled back the La Follette tide in November, 1824. In Minnesota, on that occasion, Ship- stead recalls, Farm-Labor candidates for governor and United States Senator polied the heaviest vote in the party's history. He is convinced they would have carried the State, in- Follette and Wheeler except for the which was suc- into the farming presidential _ticket, widespread *'scare cessfully thrown West. The *“constitutional scarecrow” 5o effectively raised by Gen. Charles G. Dawes in particular was the thing that stampeded the Northwestern country into voting for Coolidge and ngainst the Progressive candidates. One argument alone used by Dawes is =ald to have driven tens of thou- sands of voters into the Republican camp. Dawes, according to Ship- stead, warned the God-fearing Scandi- navian reglons that if La Follette were elected and permitted to tinker with the Constitution the day might come when the Congress of the United States would teil people what church they had to attend. It was “stuff and nonsense” like that, Senator Ship: stead alleges, and not ‘“‘the calm and cautious Christian character of Cal- vin Coolldge” (Senator Moses’ cele brated alliterative aphorism) or the virtues of the Republican party that carried Minnesota. The farmers have learned a lot since the ides of last November, Shipstead thinks. He seems quite content to trust his own political future and that of the Farm-Labor movement to their keeping, confident that the Re- publican elephant will not shed its hide. Shipstead is persuaded ‘the farmers cannot be fooled a second protective | THE EVENIN( i STAR, WASHINGTO! SATURDAY, JULEY: 11, 1925 BENNIE EARL COOPER. RALPH DE PALMA.
