W portant details, and there is little rea son to believe that any suggestions of a helpful nature will tmanate from the White House. Both Republicans and Democrats favor farm relief legislation in prin ciple, and it remains to be seen whether they will succeed in getting together on the question. The Democratic platform, in its ut terance on the subject last June, was much more explicit than the Repub lican platform. The democratic plat form says: "Farm relief must rest on a basis of an economic equality of agriculture with other industries. A remedy must be found which will include, among other things: 1 Credit aid by loans to cooperatives on at least as favor able a basis as government aid to the merchant marine. 2 Creation of federal farm board to assist the farm er and stock raiser in the marketing of their products. 3 Reduction throusrh what the farmer and the stock raiser gets and what the ulti mate consumer pays, with consequent benefits to both. 4 Consideration of the condition of agriculture in the formulation of government financial and tax measures." The Republicans also came out for a federal farm board and for en couragement to cooperative market ing. Their principle statement, how ever, was a word-for-word repetition of this nlank in their platform of 1924 "The Republican party pledges itself to the development and enact ment of measures which will place the agricultural interests of America on a basis of economic equality with other industry to insure its prosper ity and success." Though neither of these party de clarations throws much light on the actual problems to be coped with they are both significant as acknow ledging a duty and also as lookin mainly, in the same direction for the long-sought "relief." Responsibility now rests on the Republicans, Eince they hold the executive power and at the same time control both branches of Congress by large majorities. Nevertheless, the Democrats may be counted in all just and reasonable efforts, the more so because their party is the farmers traditional friend and because the most telling laws for his benefit within the last 20 years were enacted during the Wilson administration. Both parties, we say, have looked to the institution of a federal farm board as a means of bringing about "economic equality" for agriculture, and such aboard is at the center of the bill now before the house of rep resentatives. While the services of this board would be various, its chief function would have to do with crop surpluses: and with these it would deal, not directly, but through stab ilization corporations, which would be owned and controlled by the farm ers themselves. "These corporations," says a reliable summary of the plan, "will be designed to take up seasonal gluts and periodical surpluses, and not to care for the normal agricul ture surplus that annually finds its way into foreign markets. They will assist the farmer to market his crop so that it will not glut the market at any one season, that is, will be distributed throughout the year. The corporation in each case is to act through commodity operatives, and will place the funds allotted to it by the federal farm board at the dis posal of these organization." Thus, the corporation would assist the co operatives in taking surpluses off the market, for storage and for gradual sale, with a view to maintaining a fairly even price level. Loans for this purpose would be provided by a re volving fund of five hundred million dollars. "Any losses in controlling the surplusses would not revert to the farmers' cooperatives but would be assumed by the government." Whether such losses will be small or large, and whether the entire "stabilization" plan will succeed or fail, will depend in great measure on J the men administering it. That they should be of the highest order goes without saying. But their tempera ment also will be an important factor. As one economist well remarks, "A conservative directing body will prop erly bring no losses, but it may have a minimum of influence in the stab ilization of prices. On the other hand, a less conservative directing jbody may bring about real stabil ! ization but run the risk of grave losses. Commodity cooperatives have J attempted to carry over crops from season to season and a number have failed for just this sort of activity." It would be illegal, of course, and contrary to the whole Intent of the stabilization plan, to withhold com modities from the market with a view to unreasonable "boosting" of prices. The peril would lie, probably, not in that direction so much as in na tural errors of judgment on the part of those who would have to deter mine just what proportion of a crop should be withheld from the market in order to stabilize without undue hazard. All things human, however, involve some risk. The measures now pro posed, if we may judge from advanced summaries, is far less adventurous than was the McNary-IIaugen bill and is economically sounder. There will bo much debate, no doubt, before final action by the house and sen ate; but if these emerges from it all a just and workable plan of relief for agricultural ills, the entire coun try, no less than the farmers, may well rejoice. :o: A SIMPLE SENATOR Your MODEL T FORD Senator Jones, of Washington, father of the Five and Ten law, says that fewer drinks are taken among Congressmen than formerly. He ad mits that his colleagues may take a nip occasionally, but eontends tht the drinking habit is on the wane among our lawmakers. If Senator Jones knows what he is talking about the brands of liquor now being sold in Washington are simply too vile to drink, and unsatis factory quality, rather than reform, has brought about a decrease of con sumption. Our guess, however, is that Sen ator Jones doesn't know what he is talking about; that he merely be lieves what he prefers to believe, without actual acquaintance with conditions at the national capital. Washington has long been known as perhaps the wettest spot in the nation, not even excepting New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, or New Or leans. It is a matter of common knowledge that bootleggers have their regular routes through the Sen ate and House office buildings; that they have divided up the territory, so to speak, and, unlike the Chicago gangsters, do not encroach on the territorial domain of each other, neither do they engage in hi-jacking. Congressman LaGuardia, of New York, declared a few days since that he could fill his office in the House building to overflowing within a few minutes by merely sending out the tip that he had a consignment of li .quor on hand in readiness for con sumption. It would be nice, of course, if we could believe that members of Con gress have quit drinking, but to do so would be akin to believing in Santa Claus, or imagining that the moon is made of green cheese. A very large majority of our lawmakers are men of mature years on the shady side of forty, at least and when men attain the age of two score years their habits do not undergo many radical reforms. Senator Jones has merely express ed a belief fathered by a wishl a is still good car THE Model T Ford led the motor industry for twenty years because of its sturdy worth, reliability and econ omy. Those same reasons continue to make it a good car. As a matter of fact, nearly one-fourth of all the auto mobiles in use today are Model T Fords. Millions of them can be driven two, three and even five more years with reasonable care and proper replacements. Figures show that the average life is seven years. Don't sacrifice your Model T, therefore, but take it to the Ford dealer and have him estimate on the cost of putting it in Al shape. A very small expenditure may be the means of giving yon thousands of miles of additional service. For a labor charge of $20 to $25 you can have your motor and transmission completely overhauled. This price includes new bearings, reboring cylinders and any other work necessary. Parts are extra. Valves can be ground and carbon removed for $3 to $4. The cost of tightening all main bearings is only $6. The labor charge for overhauling the front axle is S4-.50 to $5 rear axle assembly, $5.75 to $7. New universal joint will be installed for a labor charge of $3. Brake shoes relined for $1.50. Rear spring and perches rebushed for $1.75. The cost of overhauling the starting motor is $3. A labor charge of approxi mately $2.50 covers the overhauling of the generator. It will pay you, therefore, to 6ee your Ford dealer and have him put your Model T in good running order. By doing so you vfill protect and maintain the invest ment you have in your car and get months and years of reliable transportation at a very low cost per mile.
