Millers' National President as
Unsafe and Unsound.

former Representative Sidney Ander-j
son of Lanesboro. Minn., who ap-J

Representative Ketchain of Mich-j

agricultuie committee, said Friday
night that his export debenture bill,
would include two principle fea-
tures:
A provision for flexible de
bentures to be applied accord
ing to each commodity situa
tion. A surplus control clause to
provide automatic reduction in
the debenture rate based on tin
increase in production of any
commodity.
Equals No Allowance.
Under tin- tinnier, the minimum
debenture would be equivalent to no
allowance at all and the maximum
would be' the tariff duty on the-rom- venue, yet low enough to. provide a
nodity concerned. Under the latteer , wholesome competition in itself trust

Anderson, who was chairman of
ithe joint congiessional commission on
agriculture inquiry in 1920 and 1921, '
directed his argument at the agri-
cultural committee hearing against 1
the equalization fee provision in tho

from the McN'ary-Haugen ranks on

the fee rested on what he termed to

THE WORLD'S GREATEST
ROAD BUILDING PROGRAM
Thomas H. MacDonald. Chief r
the United States Iiurcau of Public
Roads, addressing Sixth Annual As
phalt Paving conference, emphasized
need for good roads and said: "The
program of this nation in building
highways has had no parallel in all
past history. The cumulative loss to
the nation now from inadequate high
ways is prohibitive."
He then went on to show that
there are over 23.000,000 motor cars
traveling on our roads and that they
will consume some 0,720. ooo.immi
gallons of gasoline in a year. At 20
cents a gallon, the fuel would cost
S2. 14 4,000.000.
Using these figures, he shows the
necessity for improving as rapidly as
possible the great road mileages that
arc necessary to connect up our rural
districts. This will necessitate doing
away with much road following sec
tion lines, and substituting roads or
shorter distances and better surfaces
between important points.
He pointed out the tremendous
mileage or roads initially improved
with rock and gravel which can be
surfaced with a waterproof covering
of asphaltic character, thereby sal
vaging old road investments and pro
viding thousands of miles of new
hard-surfaced highways suitable for
modern automobile traffic, at mini
mum cost to taxpayers.
The United States has hundreds of
thousands of miles of road to build.
It must save money by utilizing to
the fullest extent road investments
already made.

Prosperity Under
G. 0. P. is a Myth,
Says Hitchcock
Democratic Rally at Grand Island
Hears Former Senator and
Others Speak,
Grand Island. Neb., Jan. 27. Re
publican "prosperity" is a myth, at
tached to an unprecented mushroom
prosperity which has sprung up on
the New York stock market and for
a few favored big business interests,
former Senator Gilbert M. Hitch
cock told democratic legislators and
editors gathered here today, and the
duty of the democratic party is to
go before the people with its time
honored program of legislation for
all of the people instead of a few
legislation which will recreate the
former real prosperity of the days
before Harding and "normalcy."
Democratic legislators and editors
representing the western half of the
i state cheered resoundingly the reiter
ation of the old-time democratic doc
trine by the former senator and by;
the legislative democratic leaders.
Representative George O'Malley of
Greeley and Senator Theodore Oster
man of Central City. Representative
Max Adams of Dennebrog, president
of the democratic legislators' organ
ization, presided over the meeting
today.
Comparing the prosperity of the
democratic years, 1912 to 1!20. with
the much-advertised republican
"prosperity" since that time. Senator
Hitchcock recounted the list of dem
ocratic national legislative acts dur
ing the former period. He pointed
out that the revision of this healty
condition of general prosperity into
a jug-handled situation with the fat
of the laud for a few favored inter
ests and with misery for agriculture
in the west and south, was due to
the perversion of such institutions
as the federal trade commission, the
federal reserve system and the na
tional tariff schedules.
What Might Have Been.
"If the federal trade commission
had not gradually come to be admin
istered by republican appointees out
of sympathy with the system and in
sympathy with special privilege." he
said, "if the federal reserve system's
power had not been abused against
ttie agricultural sections under re-(
publican dictation, in the general or
der for deflation, ami il the tariff
had been left as it was.in the.Under-
' wood
law. sufficient to bring in re-
j more general and we would not now
i have to be considering anti-discrimination
legislation such as Mr. O Mal
' ley sponsored in the last legislature
to protect our people from huge com-
bines and trusts."
! In his ailfhpsu Mr 1 1 i t cli i-n(-L- a:iiil-
"For seven years now we have
had a government under the control
ot the republican party. I nose years
.have shown that republican policies
i are and what effects those policies
produce.
i "No time wa.s wasted in putting
those policies into operation, first
came the deflation plai)k in the re
publican platform adopted at the con
vention which nominated Harding.
That convention met in June. 1920.
at a time of great business activity
and pronounced agricultural pros
perity which had marked Wilson's
administration. This business activ
ity and agricultural prosperity mark
ed its first two years, increased dur
ing the war and had continued dur
ing the 19 months which followed
the war. up to the time the republi
can convention met. As in all wars.
'and after all wars there had been an
inevitable expansion of credit, and
an increase of currency. Money was
abundant, prices were high, business
was active, credit was easy. We were
in the midst of 'good times.'
When West Prospered.
"The? west particularly, had never j
been so prosperous as it was then. :
Prices of agricultural products,
hogs, cattle, sheep and grain were
high, and th demand strong. Land
had advanced in value an sales were
actife. Then came the first shock
as the campaign of l'JZV openerj.
"The republican party, already
confident of victory, met in conven
tion, nominated Harding- for presi
dent, and adopted a platform which
denounce the democrats for reducing
the purchasing power of the dollar
by 'a gross expansion of our currency
and credit.' Thdi came the follow
ing ominous declaration.
" 'We pledge ourselves fo ear
nest and consistent attack up
on the high cost of living by a
rigorous avoidance of further
inflation in our government,
borrowing, by courageous and
intelligent DEFLATION of over
expanded credit and currency
" 'The high corit of living' or
course referred to the high prices for
agricultural products. The republi
can leaders never complain of high
prices for the manufactured 'goods.
They always impose tariffs to make
the"m higher. The 'high cost of liv
ing' gave a plausible excuse to de
mand 'deflation of credit and cur
rency. 'Deflation" Destructive.
"The demand for 'deflation' suc
ceeded. That was one pledge that
the republican party had boldly made
and vigorously carried out. Reserve
banks sharply raised discount rates.
banks dependent on them raised In-,
terest rates, and refused to renew
notes. Borrowers were compelled to
pay up. Merchants could do eo by
