If it appears that the President is neeced in those States. he certainly will be strongly urged to go_there, Republicans in favor of an aggressive | campaign by the President himself be- | lieve Mr. Hoover could well afford to| deal with Gov.

FOGELSVILLE, Pa., September 18.— The text of Vice President Cuctis’ ad- dress opening his campaign speaking tour at a rally of Pennsylvania Re- publicans here yesterday follows: What furtker is to be done for farm relief is a big problem. The issue is not new. It hes been most important at different times ever since I entered Congress in 1893. That agriculture should be stabilized and brought back to a condition of profit and prosperity is admitted by all. That the farmers should be brought into a situation of equality with industry is admitted by all. While Congress has been trying to solve the farm problem since the end of the World War and has en- acted many measures looking to that end, yet much more remains to be done. It is an important question in this campaign, and in order to de- termine which of the two great parties is most likely to solve it fairly and justly it seems to me that a compari- r record on the question is most_important. | During the World War they were urged to plant and grow more crops, they were asked to produce more stock. This they did, and at the end of the war they were harder hit than any other industry. though he has been questioned re- peatedly, according to reports, by news- paper correspondents. They believe, too, that the President | could well ask Gov. Roosevelt how he | stands on the Reconstruction Finance | Corporation and whether he would favor repealing the law creating the | corporation if he should become Chief | Executive. Gov. Roosevelt has spoken slightingly of the Reconstruction | Finance Corporation on several occa- | sions. Further, they would like to have | the President tackle Gov. Roosevelt on | the question of the tariff. Fear Special Sesslon. Republicans are arguing that if the country should elect Roosevelt and Garner in November, one of the first things which the Democrats would de- mand after March 4 would be a special session of Congress to revise the tariff. Such a session, they say, at the very time that the business of the country was struggling back to its feet, would wrench into the machinery months of un- certainty ahead for all kinds of busi- ness affected by the tariff. The Maine election last Monday and the Democratic victory there was a dis- tinct shock to the Republican high command, which had believed that with Opposed Price-Fixing Move. When legislation was pending during the war there was a movement to fix the price of farm products. This was objected to by Senator Kenyon of Iowa and myself and others, and we told those in charge if they fixed the price of what the farmer had to sell they must fix the price of the articles he had to buy. But in the act of August 10, 1917, the President was authorized, if he should find an emergency existed requiring stimulation of the production of wheat, to fix the price. The day before the price was fixed Senators Mc- Cumber, Kellogg, Sterling and I called upon President Wilson and urged him it the price was to be fixed it be fixed at the market price when the agitation to fix the price began. Section 14 of the act of August 10, 1917, reads: “That whenever the President shall find that an emergency exists requiring stimulation of the produc- tion of wheat and that is essential that the producers of wheat, pro- duced within the United States, shall have the benefits of the guar- anty provided for in this section, he is authorized, from time to time, seasonably and as far in advance of What are the facts? The last year of the Underwood bill our exports amounted in round numbers to three and one-half billion dollars, our ex- ports for the year ending June 30, 1929, under the 1922 act amounted to five billion dollars. Our imports for the last year of the Underwood act amounted to two and one-half billion dollars and in 1929 they amounted to four-and one- quarter billion dollars. Views of Farm Leaders. So you see there was an increase in our foreign trade. What about rev- enues produced? In 1922 they amount. ed to $356,000,000 and in 1929 to $600,- 000,000. 5o you see the Governor is mistaken about the effect of the Mc- Cumber act on our foreign trade. While on this subject would it not be well to see what the farm leaders and, repre- sentatives said about the preparation of the McCumber bill. Among these 26 measures was one introduced by me. It authorized the Government, to invest $50,000,000 to help the Federal Jand banks. The following is what Mr. Lever had to say about its importance: “Federal Farm Loan Board. “Washington, D. C., June 27, 1921. “My Dear Senator Curtis: “I believe. as a Democratic mem- ber of the Farm Loan Board and as one who served with you in C gress for many years and who Mas watched your work in the Senate, that I may be pardoned if I express to you my appreciation of the serv- ice you have rendered agriculture in a large way, and of the skillful manner in which you have done it. “I can hardly conceive of any- thing you might have done which is going to have such far-reaching and lasting beneficial effect upon the agricultural situation now and in the future. “Very truly yours, (Signed.) “AL P . 1 am sorry to say that many of these 26 measures were disappointing and did not give the relief so greatly needed and deserved by agriculture. The tariff | act did help materially because the first year after its enactment the im- portation of agricultural products de- creased more than a billion dollars. Federation Sends Letter. ‘The following is what the President | of the American Farm Bureau Federa- | tion had to say about the tariff acts passed in 1922: “American Farm Bureau Federation, “Chicago, Ill,, September 28, 1922. “Honorable Charles Curtis, “Washington, D. C. “My Dear Senator: find the market as the first process- ing of his crops, the elimination of the spread between agriculture and industry is mor: than completed. In fact from this point of view agricultu-al products, starting with .42 point in the act of 1922 and gain- ing 7.70 points in the act of 1930, now stands 8.12 points better pro- tected than industry. “Granting that the farmer does not get all of the tariff benefits ac- cruing from duties on processed agri- cultural products, it will be seen that he does not nezd to get all of such benefits in order to be on an ap- proximate tariff equality with indus- try, since his produets with their first processed ;forms are noticeably higher in rates than is industry without such first processed forms of agriculture.” ‘The flexible tariff provisions were re- tained; this enables the President upon recommendation of the Tariff Board to | raise or lower the rates. out of 31 leading products of l‘fl-' cuiture our Democratic friends fixed a duty on only 8 of them, and left the others on the free list, while Republic- ans in the act of 1930 placed a duty on each and every one of the 31 prod- ucts. The duty fixed in the Demo- cratic Underwood-Simmons act was 1 cent a pound on live poultry, while the rate fixed in the 1930 act was 8 cents per pound. The rates in the Under- wood act on dressed poultry was 1 cent a pound; in the 1930 act it was 10 cents. The Underwood act put a duty of 10 cents & pound on dried eggs; the act >f 1930 put a duty of 18 cents per pound. Butter had a duty of 21, cents a pound in the Underwood act and 14 cents & pound under the 1930 act. Oats carried a duty of 6 cents in the Underwood act and 16 cents per bushel in the Hawley- Smoot act. Flax seed had a duty of 20 cents a bushel in the Underwood bill and 65 cents in the 1930 act. Non-Partisan Problem. While this problem has not been and should not be partisan, yet the Repub- lican party wishes to solve it and is anxious to bring the farmer into & situation of equality with industry. One of the problems is to reduce the spread | between what the producer on the farm recelves and what the ultimate con- sumer pays for such products. Another is to provide the farmers better mar- keting factlities. I have for years believed s national co-operative system would help solve the problem. and I still believe such Ssystem, properly organized and con- a | Drohibition party’s nominee. were maintained in the face of the world. The ual revival of business throughout country is the be:t evi- dence that confidence is gradually being restored. This is due to the splendid work and great ability of our President, Herbert Hoover.

P. in Con- necticut Convention. By the Associated Press. NEW HAVEN, Conn., September 17— T. A. D. Jones, former Yale foot ball coach, wes unanimously nominated at a Republican Convention yesterday for the seat in Congress held by Repre- | sentative John Q. Tilson, who recently announced his retirement. Tilscn himself placed Jones' name before the convention The veteran Tilson, who lost the party leadership in the last session of the House of Representatives to Ber- trand Snell of New York, told the dele- his might be called the celebration of my passing out. If it is a funeral, 1t is the most joyous I ever attended.” He said he look.d forward with joy to being relieved of his duties after 22 years of service, but found some regret in breaking off his relationships. Of Jones. who is now a coal dealer here, Tilson expressed the belief he could “grapple with problems in Con- gress as on the foot ball field he grap- pled with the runner.” Jones. who played with his brother Howard on the Yale foot ball and base ball teams, coached his alma mater's teams in 1916 and from 1920 to 1927. In accepting the nomination, Jones urged repeal of prohibition laws. | “I have long been an advocate of temperance,” he said, “and I still hold to that view. I have a strong convic- tion, however, that real temperance cannot be cbtained through legislation, and therefore I am unalterably opposed to the present prohibition law—the elghteenth amendment. “I believe in its immediate repeal and the immediate repeal of the Vol- stead act as well. If elected, I will pledge my best efforts to this end.” Jones, known throughout foot ball circles as “Tad” praised President Hoover for his “valiant and determined fight to maintain wages and reduce un- employment.” LABOR SEEN UNITING WITH INTELLECTUALS Socialist Candidate Says Unem- ployed College Graduates Are Changing Aims.

This, of course, started a move- | ment for an emergency tariff act on ag- | | ricultural products. \ Emergency Tariff Voted. | I am sure that the farmers and stockmen have not forgotten that in | 1920 they asked for and were entitled | to an emergency tariff on farm prod- | ucts. Such a measure was passed by & Republican House and a Republican Senate. The vote on_this measure in the House, December 22, 1920, was 179 Republicans and 16 Democrats for the measure and 7 Republicans and 78 Democrats against it. In the Senate | the vote was 34 Republicans and 9 Democrats for the measure and 4 Re- publicans and 26 Democrats against it. After passage the bill was vetoed by | President Wilson. It was one of his last vetoes and word of it was sent to the House March 4, 1921. A special session of Congress was | called for April 11, 1921. That Con- | gress, being Republican in both branches | and having & Republican President to pass upon its act, began to work on the | emergency tariff act. The measure which had been vetoed by President | Wilson was reintroduced and it was enacted into law under the Republican administration which took control of | the Government March 4, 1921. The | vote on this question in the House, April 15, 1921, was 256 Republicans and 13 Democrats in favor of its passage and 8 Republicans and 102 Democrats against | it. In the Senate the vote was had May 11, 1921, and stood 56 Republicans and 7 Democrats for its passage and 1 Re- publican and 27 Democrats against. The farmer and stockmen asked for | an extension of the War Finance Corporation that had been helpful to them. This measure passed the House | and Senate and was vetoed by Presi- | dent Wilson and later passed over | his veto, Special Farm Drive. | In the session of the Congress in | 1921 to 1923 a special drive was made | to help agriculture—there were 26 laws | enacted in that Congress—this was | under a Republican administration, the President, the House and the Senate.| When these laws were enacted it was thought by many that the required re- | lief would be afforded. e American Farm Bureau in its annual Teport of April 6, 1923, had the following to say about them: “The passing of the sixty-seventh Congress into history marks an epoch in the undertaking of the American Farm Bureau's national Jegislative campaign. It is not too much to say that the 26 laws passed by that Congress, which were initi- ated or supported by us, are of far more importance to American agri- culture than all ihe legislation re- 1ating to agriculture passed since the adoption of our Constitution.” This report fully described the 26 laws. Among them was the McCumber tariff act and by the way, the Gov- ernor of New York in his speech in my home town, Toveka, Kans,, on Septem- ber 14, 1932, said: o Fordney-McCumber tariff barrier shut off the normal tide of trade.” T judge the Governor took this state- ment from the report of the Democratic minority on the tariff act of 1922 or from the speech of Senator Swanson made during the consideration of the bill because they both predicted that the act would injure our foreign trade, but these predictions did not come tru This. fo fix your roof The Fall and Winter months are the months with the most rain...but rainproofing the roof is no longer a “major operation.” All You “Murco” Roof Paint It sounds easy, and it is easy! preparation, made to seal all cracks and holes. .. permanently, and it does the work.

R. Howard, President.” | Mr. Charles W. Holman, secretary of the National Co-Operative Milk Pro- ducers Federation, made an address | last February, before the American | Academy of Political and Social Science, | on the subject, “The American Farmer | and the Tariff.” Among other things, | he said: “The growing need for farm rep- Tesentation in tariff-making was re- flected in the activities of certain farm organizations while the Ford- ney-McCumber tariff act of Septem- ber, 1922, was in the making.” These letters and reports of the | American Farm Bureau are sufficient | answers to the complaint of Gov. Roosevelt as to the manner in which | the tariff rates on farm products were | placed in the tariff acts of 1922-1930, | Equality Attempted. . In tariff legislation the farm organ- izations have insisted that agriculture dustries. This was attempted in the act of 1930, as is shown by the fol- lowing: The increases in tariff are largely directed to the interest of the farmer. | Of the increases, it is stated by the Tariffl Commission that 93.73 per cent | are upon products of agricultural origin measured in value, as distinguished from 6.25 per cent upon commodities of strictly non-agricultural origin. The average rate upon agricultural | raw materials shows an increase from 38.10 per cent to 4892 per cent., in contrast to dutiable articles of strictly other than agricultural origin, which | show an average increase of from 31.02 per cent to 34.31 per cent. Compensatory duties have necessarily | been given 6n products manufactured from agricultural raw materials and | protective rates added to these in some | instances. The extent of rate revision, as indi- | cated by the Tariff Commission, is that | in value of the total imports the duties | upon approximately 22.5 per cent have | been increased and 77.5 per cent were untouched or decreased. By number of the dutiable items mentioned in the bill, out of the total of about 3,300 there were about 890 increased, 235 decreased and 2,170 un- touched. The number of items in- creased was therefore 27 per cent of all dutiable items and compares with 83 | per cent of the number of items which were increased in the 1922 revision. Quotes Farm Bureau Report. ‘The following is what the American Farm Bureau Federation said in its report of June 21, 1930: “Stating this differently it means that when the farmer’s welfare is considered not only from the rates of duty on the crops which he him- self sells, but also upon those which is the way Need Is This is a special Sold in any NAtional 2477 10 A.

Our party cannot be ch having neglected the question, because since March 4, 1921, it has enacted into | law various measures intended to solve the problem. These acts were not only supported by the various farm organiza- tions, but many of them were proposed by such organizations. I have not commented upon Gov. Rooseyelt's farm relief plan because he has submitted none—he refers to sev- eral plans that have been discussed for years and then leaves them for further discussion. ‘William McKinley said: “Agriculture and _manufactures should go hand in hand. the ome enriches the other, the one trades with the other—they are mutually dependent one upon the other. There is no conflict of interest. Agricul- ture increases in its products and its wealth with the growth and in- crease of manufactures. Prices are better, steadier, and more reliable to the farmer with prosperous manu- facturing interests employing labor which consumes and does not com- pete with his products. Impair or destroy our ability to manufacture, strike down any cf our great manu- factures, and the farmer would be the first to seriously feel the loss. Dismiss the army of operators from the workshops and send them to the great unoccupled and fertile lands of the West, and the farmers would not only lose just so many con- sumers or customers, but, more than that, he would find them as his col petitors in the field of production.
