Pinchot Given Warm Welcome *** by Farmers Here * Statements by Pennsylvania Governor Indicate He May Enter Presidential Race. (Continned From Page One) for today, we must consider what can he done to make certain that the farmer will have better markets In tlie future than he has had in the past. “Self-help is the first step. We need an enormous increase of co-operation •—co-operative storage, co-operative buying, and co-operative selling by farmers. We need also to see produc tion adapted to the market, not only t brought tlie information now given to farmers by state and national gov ernments, but also by a great increase in cooperative information, which can tell the farmers things the gov ernment cannot. I have long been, and am today more than ever, a con vinced and enthusiastic believer in co operation among farmers. Co-opera tion, in my judgment, more than any other single remedy, points the way out. "I believe that the recent saying of a great farm leader contains the truth in a nutshell. Ho said, "It is the farmers’ job to co-operate; it is the government's job to get all obstacles to co-operation out of the farmers' way; it is the job of the rest of the people to encourage the farmers in cooperation because prosperous farms mean prosperous homes off the farm as well as on.” Watch Distribution. •jWhile we are discussing co-opera among farmers, we must not for get co-operation between producers and consumers. Next to metter mar kets, better and cheaper distribution is the farmer's biggest problem. So long as it costs as much or more to market what the farmer grows as it does to grow it, the consumer will pay too much for his food and the farmer get too little for his crops. •‘xlo-flperation, then, ts the first means of securing better markets for the farmer in the future than we have now. The second is to bring the foreign markets closer to one farms. One way to do that is to build the lakes to the gulf deep waterway pro posed by Theodore Roosevelt, the most effective friend the farmers of Omerlca ever had. At the great con servation congress at St. Paul he said, "The lakes to the gulf deep waterway and the development of the waters ■which flow into it should be pushed to corr.'pletion vigorously and without delay. The Mississippi should be made a loop of the sea and work upon it should.be begun at the earliest possible moment.” / “The lakes to the gulf deep water way was strongly endorsed by Presi dent Harding’s nation-wide agrlcul lure conference. With Its connecting links, it will add to the prosperity of (he Mississippi valley infinitely more than the Panama canal has added to i lie prosperty of the United States. No one has objected that we were looking too far ahead in expending beyond our boundaries the hundreds of millions of dollars necessary for the construction of that great water ■MRlt. No one should object that we are looking too far ahead in asking fur the construction within our boundaries of this great deep water way, not only at far less expense, but with an immediate return in lower freight rates, better markets, and in creased prosperity far and a way greater per dollar expended than the Panama canal has produced or ever can produce. Would Reduce Expense. "The second waterway which should form part of the great program of bringing the farmer's market nearer to him is the St. Lawrence deep waterway, which will open the lake ports to the ocean commerce of all the world, and make it possible to load cargoes of wheat for Liverpool al most at the back door of the Dakota wheat farmer. Another step is the proposed coastwise inland waterway from Boston to Galveston, which would not only bring the products of the eastern but also <jf the western farmers more cheaply to the cities, and In return place the heavier prod ucts of the manufacturing east on the farms of the central west at cheap er rates than ever before. "Another link in this great chain of waterways Is the Lake Erie and Ohio river canal, which would unite the agriculture and the resources of the northwest with the agriculture and the industries of the Ohio and the Mississippi valleys. "With such a system as this nine tenths of the world's -ocean going ships could deliver their cargoes un ■V^inken to what is now the interior of the United States, and the farmer, both as buyer and seller, would reap the inevitable bene fit. "Moreover, hand in hand with stream control for navigation would go stream control for waterpower, for drainage of swanvp lands, for Irriga tion, for domestic and manufacturing water supply, and for the elimination or destructive floods. It Is a plan of such far-reaching usefulness that It* benefits and advantages would !>e realized by every citizen everywhere, in the greatest cities and on the lone liest farms and all the way between. Project Not Visionary. •‘This is no visionary project. It has long been approved and advocated by the practical men who know most, about It. Great things have been done for other classes In the 1'nlted States. Tt Is high time that equally great things were done for the farmers. "There are two other main lines of endeavor which will help the farmer to better markets In the future. One is n continuance of state and federal aid to good roads. That aid ought to lie apportioned so that only a prop er share of It Is expended on main highways between centers of popula lion, and so that the farmer on the hack country road gets his fair share. The other is the bringing of the domestic market closer to the farm by encouraging the tendency already In existence for our new manufactur ing Industries to locate In our smaller towns and cities. There Is one way sure to do It, and that Is by giant power. 4g0P(llunt power means uniting sll * sources of mechanical power, whether derived from water power, from coal, or from oil, In great systems of elec trical transmission, which will serve factory and farm alike, bring power at substantially equal cost to all parts of (lie country, promote lhe establish rnont of factories In great nunsteru throughout the less densely settled parts of the land, and make every farm its own factory, where the greater part of the. work will be done by mechanical means. There is no sign of greater promise in the w hole future of the farmer than the develop ment of piant power, for it will not only bring his home market closer to him than ever before, but will elimi nate much of the drudgery which has driven so many farmers' son o(T the farm. I am not talking theory hut proven* fart. What cheap electrical energy will do for the farmer has al ready been fully demonstrated. Benefit to Railroads. "Will such a program encounter great obstacles? Not if the people who might be expected to oppose It will look ahead. The railroads should not oppose It. for water routes for long haul heavy traffic will inurease instead of diminishing their prosperity by re lieving them of the less profitable and more expensive part of their freight, while interfering not at all with passenger truftle. fast freight, and ex press, and greatly Increasing their profitable short haul business. “The history of waterways t he world over is that they do not destroy the railroads but, on the contrary, sup port and strengthen them. No one begrudges the railroads a fair return on investment, hut few would want either the railroads or any other inter est to delay the development of this great plan. “It is worth while remembering that the automobile, which at first was expected to destroy the profits of our railroads, has done nothing of the sort, and that there are more horses in the United States today than before the automobile was In vented. As a people we grow, and we shall continue to grow, faster than the freight facilities which serve us. if they are wise, the railroads will welcome and not oppose the con struction of these waterways. “New York city, our greatest port, might he expected to oppose this progress. It will not. if it loots ahead, for llie expansion of the coun try will continue to provide New York with all. or more than all, of the country's business it ean handle, and the same is true of other ports. Will Kelp Taxpayers. "The taxpayer, once he understands them, will not stand in the way of these great projects. The electric power generated by the St. Lawrence project, fo rexample. will pay operat ing expenses. Interest, and very soon return the capital invested, besides bringing about huge power develop ment to Supply tlie needs of New York. New Knglund. Pennsylvania, and perhaps other sttaes, "So. with the other projects. In electric power, in cheapened trans portation, in better utilisation of our streams, and in the increased pros perlty of the farmer and of the whole country, they will repay their cost over and over again. When the peo ple of the United States are fully in formed they will stand behind these projects, push them forward as rapid ly as the circumstunces of earh will permit, and so make the beginning of l>ermanent relief for the conditions from which the farmers of America are now suffering. "The real trouble which lies behind recurring periods like the present one, of hard times for the farmers of America, is that no comprehensive plan lo give them relief has been started and carried through. "So long as our efforts to cure the evils of the present day are only begun, as It were, late In the after noon, when most of the harm has already been done, there will he no assurance of permanent prosperity for the American farmer. What is needed above all things is a plan which, without neglecting Immediate relief, looks beyond today or tomor row, which does not simply trust to luck, but prepares In advance for better conditions, and which is some thing better than a mere effort to mop up the milk after the pail is upset. Foresight, is necessary in the conservsilinn of our uatuiul rcsouces, foresight is necessary in the conduct oi any successful business. Why should we refuse to use the foresight we have, lo take the measures fore sight suggests, in order to secure the permanent prosperity of the farmer, who feeds us all. without whose pros perity good times for the rest of the nation are irpossible?** Fresh Strawberries in Nebraska's Garden O'Neill.

Third Party in Nebraska Fires Opening Guns Pledged 1<» No Candidate, Delegates Will Attend Na tional Convention Next May 30. In accordance with instructions from attendant* at a conference of the progressive party of Nebraska at Hotel ('astie on Tuesday, the ex ecutive committee has prepared a public statement which is to serve as a working basis for the activities of this party in the forthcoming campaign. This state party, which was launched at Grand Island on Decem ber 8, 1921, has been legalized and is functioning as a political parly in Nebraska. Its leaders, at the con ference here this week, decided to participate in the national convention to be held at St. Paul or Minneapolis on May 30, and will be bound by the action of this national convention. The following public statement, au thorized by the executive committee of the progressive party of Nebraska, was signed by J. L. Beebe, president, and W. H. Green, secretary: •‘The approaching presidential cam paign of 1924 Is forcing upon the people i he necessity of their alignment with those who are similarly situated to them selves for effective political action. "Events crowding upon each other are demonstrating, with every passing clay, the futility of expecting practical results within either of the two present political party organizations, hound by tradition an dself-interest to ultra-con servative Influences and under domina lion of reactionary party machinery. “The most promising political develop ment of the hour is represented by the triumphal election of two United States senators In our sister state of Minnesota hy a farmer-labor movement through an independent political organization. “Similar movements toward the same results, already notable in the Dakotas and Wisconsin, are rapidly shaping in most of the states of the union, and the leal pi ogre*, i * e* vn th* Npraska (atfti .1 ml in the Nebraska workshop are con vinced that the road to surest relief from the burden* of special orivilcge li*-. m the same direction. “The state executive committee of the progressive party of Nebraska, in con ference as.semilled, calls .attention to the fact that the legally constituted pro gressive partv of Nebraska was created at the Grand Island convention In 4>e cember, 19-1. bv the farmers and city workers of Nebraska “Its platform proclaimed the aspira tions of the masses and suggested tho remedies to remove the border** put upon the Industrial life of the farm and work shop bv Wall street influences. in trenched in special privilege through con trol of the old party organization*. “The party machinery of the legalized progressive party of Nebraska is ready to hand for u*e. by the farmers and workers of the stale »h.« desire to follow the lead of the Minnesota farmer-labor movement.
