He has some well defined ideas, the result of experience as well as of observation, as to how agriculture can best be served by the government. In his address to con gress in December, he said: “No complicated scheme of relief, no plan for government fixing of prices, no resort to the pub lic treasury will be of any permanent value In es tablishing agriculture. Simple and direct methods, put Into operation by the farmer himself are the only real sources for restoration. “Indirectly the farmer must be relieved by a re duction of national and local taxation. He must be assisted by the reorganization of the freight rate structure which would reduce charges on his pro duction. . . . Cheap fertilizers must he provided. “He must have organization. His customers with whom he exchanges the products of the farm for those of Industry are organized, labor is organized, and there Is no way for agriculture to meet this unless it, too, is organized. . . . Diversification is necessary. Those farmers who raise their livisg on their land are not greatly In distress. Such loans as are wisely needed to assist in buying stock and other materials to start in this direction should be financed through a government agency as a tem porary and emergency expedient. ... It seems feasible to provide government assistance to ex ports, and authority should be given tit" War Fi nance Corporation to grant, in its discretion, the most liberal terms of payment for fats and grains exported for the direct benefit of the farm." No doubt has existed at any time as to the sym pathetic and understanding attitude of the presi dent toward the farmer. It is unfortunate that a situation has arisen in congress under which a par tisan combination has been enabled to defeat efforts to translate his recommendations into law. Espe cially is this true of the Norbeck-Burtness bill, which would have authorized the Department of Agricul ture to make loans under certain conditions to fRr mers for the purpose of carrying out the diversifi cation plan. This bill went down under an avalanrhe of southern democratic votes in the senate. A de feat that had the aid of some of the so-called pro gressives and even a few of the farm bloc members. Whatever of damage was done by this defeat falls on the farmer, and not on the president. Mr. . Coolidge, however, has not despaired. He turns to ftir T-crritfy formed Agricultural Credit Association'. i.qucsHng that it take up the work and proceed a'one the lines planned by the Norbeck-Burtness b'll. The Mar Finance corporation has been author ised by resolution to extend the loans it has made until the end of the calendar year, 1924. This is i not enough, however. In his letter to C. T. .la f fray of Minneapolis, chairman of the directors of the Agricultural Credit association, th?1 president gays: I l.now of n*i more effective service that could ne renrtcred to th» agricultural interests of the ,,,n. tial northwest. Where a farmer proves himself to lie competent and Industrious and willing to under take the added responsibility and labor incident to diversified farming, It should be possible for him to obtain the funds and the practical need necessary to enable him to purchase livestock and thus make a start toward diversification. If such a program is soundly atlniinist. . cd It should l.e possible to make 1 nf 'his character upon sound securi'v ,nd without undue financial risk. In connection opt t 1 "slne-iS of this kind moreover, your corporation "ould. I sill informed, be Icgallv eligible to make legal application to the We. Finance corporation ior loans in substantial amounts." * * ♦ The way is thus cleared for Immediate relief if the Agricultural Credit association functions as it is expected to. The president will thus win his effort to give practical relief to the farmer, who are in a most unpleasant predicament. Those members of congress who have been playing horse with the projects will find themselves facing the necessity of explaining to the country why they could not help when the way was pointed out to them. If this be politics, it is of the extretnelv hene fictal sort the people like to see. Mr.' Coohdge j, earnest in his desire to give whatever H*]p he may to the distressed section of the agricultural Indus ity. He advised congress what might be done When petty partisanship defeated him there, ha turns directly to an organization of so-called' big bus,ness, asking for action. If the farmers get the U,p *° ur*ent,y 't will be because the presi "*nt b*'* * hflblt of 'JoinK things while the political experts in congress are talking about them. SEEING THINGS IN KANSAS. Two rings danced around the sun down at Salina Kan. With them was a flock of sundogs. Alto !n'l,rk 'lA"PllyJrU 008 °f bPaUty' *"'* ■« uch should have been enjoyed by all Jayhawken who were close enough to see it. But they didn't Signs and portents still mean something down there and these were especially horrendous. Consequently an old Indian was hunted up to interpret the mean ing. Who can fathom the apprehensive speculation h«t held in check the multitude, while waiting for He aged and wrinkled prophet to conclude his divina Mon and announce the result. Along with the phenomena in the heavens was the democratic state convention Such junction of dire influences justi Hed the gloomiest forebodings. But Kansans are nowadays as staunch as when the foundations of the state were being cemented with blood of martyrs. The spirit of Osawatomie is not dead, and so the vigil was held In silent hops. Now the worst Is known. The Daniel who was sought to tell what the sign. In the sky meant read the riddle to presage great floods in all the rivers. For that, much thanks. People who dwell along the streams that flow In Kansas are acrustomed to the xpring freshets, and would he disappointed not to have them. From the democratic convention came something more Imposing. Seehems there gathered 10 tell a waiting world that Jim Davis is the best goldarned governor Kansas or any state ever had, and that he will make a whale of a president for the United State*. Also, Arthur Capper is warned that he must come through. “Take 'em off, Arthur; we i know you,” say the democrats to the senator. You can not fool a real Kansas man when It comes to reading a sign. -- l LET THE RADIO GO UNTAXED. A proposal by the senate finance committee to lay another nuisance tax has been promptly rebuked by the president. In the-senrch for new or novel sources of revenue, it was proposed to put a tax on radio. In that way the long arm of federal power would reach into millions of homes and snatch a few pennies from each, for the purpose of swelling the income of the government, and making possible a little reduction somewhere else. The only thing that can be compared to this was the democratic device, adopted in 1918, by which a tax was laid on hokypoky and chewing gum, so that each infantile purchaser of these childish solaces became a confributor to the warbag of the United States of America. The democrats, how ever, had the thin excuse of the war. Nothing of the sort exists today. Something should remain unta.xed. Indeed, an effort has been made to do away with the nuisance taxes entirely. That motive should prevail all the way through. Instead of alloying the joy the radio / bug has by mingling with it a federal tax, he should he left to tune in each night or day with a glad thought in his heart that at least the ether still is free in America. . . if CHILD LABOR BEFORE CONGRESS. Two reports have gone into the house from the judiciary committee on the resolution providing for an amendment to the Constitution to prohibit child labor. Representative Foster of Ohio, author of the resolution, presents the majority report. The minor ity report, signed by Chairman Graham of Pennsyl vania, and three democrats, Montague of Virginia, Dominick of South Carolina, and Weller of New York, oppose the plan as an “unnecessary invasion of state’s rights.” i The majority report favors the resolution as being necessary to protect children “from the edu cational, spiritual and physical losses” caused by premature labor. That there is need for some such legislation is amply proved. It was not merely spir itual exaltation incident to the war that brought about the passage of the two laws that have been declared invalid by the supreme court. Nor is it sen timent alone that supports the present demand for such prohibition. Many states already have passed laws carefully regulating the employment of children of tender years, but some have no such restrictions. In 1920, when the last census was taken, there were in the t'nited States 1,060,858 persons between the ages of 10 and 15 years engaged in jrainful occupations. Of these 647,309 were employed in agriculture. Mainly these were the children on farms, working for their parents. Others wpre engaged in mines, mills, fac tories, workshops, offices, stores and the like. Since the decision of the supreme court in June, 1922, annuling the law, the number employed has greatly increased, especially in the northern states where much manufacturing is done. In Philadelphia is reported an increase of 20 per cent for 1923 over 1922. In Pittsburgh the increase is reported as 67.5 per cent. In Waterbury, Conn., it is 139 per cent, and in Yonkers, N. Y., it is 103 per cent. Little workers arc in demand. Fathers and mothers are willing they should be employed, and employers are willing to take them on. Those are the facts. This is the question to be decided: Will Americans submit to having the hoys and girls under the age of 16 fed to the Moloch of industry? Or will the constitution be amended to take from the states their right to permit a parent to exploit his own child by selling its immature years to the owner of a factory or a workshop, or any other form of employment? It is a permanent policy that is now to hp adopted, one that affects the future. The right of a parent to the labor of a child is not disputed, nor does any one dispute the absolute necessity for a certain amount of work within the scope of the child’s abil ity for proper physical and mental development. Work is essential to growth, to bringing out self-re Itaice and responsibility. But steady employment dwarfs the child, mentally and physically. Robbed of the rights of childhood, the victime of surh an industrial system gro\y up stunted in mind and body, morally deficient as well, anr nur flawa.

Omaha—To the Editor of The Oma ha Dee: Political parties are the means by which the voters can put into practice those principles of gov ernment which they believe will pro mote the public good and safeguard their homes. We live in a republic imperfect indeed,, but it stands for better ideals than tinder an autocracy. Our system is a government by politi cal parties. It was so intended at the foundation of the republic. The very genius of our institutions requires that there shall be at least two leading parties, one to bear the responsibility of power, and the other to act as a check and critic, not ob structive hut constructive. The duty of the voter is to choose Intelligently between the two parties, and support the one which he believes is most likely to promote the public; welfare. Self seeking candidates whose sole aim is to win at the polls, cannot he depended upon to practice party loyaltv or party responsibility. They are always ready to put expediency before principle because they want to be. with the winners. They will tie up with any organization, readv to stand upon any platform .whether good or bad, to secure votes. A good example of this is presented by tha Nonpartisan league ready to bargain or fuse, with any party to secure the "balance of power." The • hlef dangers in the pathway of our gov ernment have their origin in the cor- | nipt ion of our parties, and then It is ! transferred to the administration of 1 government. AY hen a pMItlrnl party wins by such means we will have a rej>etltinn nf t lie evils disclosed by the invest iga tions now conducted. Evidences of dishonesty and w.ckedne** moat ap palling. A wholesome public sentiment 1* needed to warn the voters against candidates whose name* appear on our ha Hot s w ho cannot be depended upon to stand for party loyalty or party principles They will fuse, com promise, and hargain with any hybrid organisation to get control of the gov ernment for selfish purposes Their motto is get what ymiVan, while the getting is good, and Keep what you get because the end justifies the moans. Lincoln said, "Von can fool all the people a part of the time.” This gives an opportunifv to the +•% piency men to accept the support of the hybrid third parties while the people ere off guard. Yon can not serve two masters so we are told by the inspired word. t'andidate* may properly accept the support of individuals with whom thev do not agree, hut they can ne'er be justified in accepting the support of indivi duals organised as * political parfv under the law. with well defined pr-nciples of its own. Kusing. bargaining and compromis Ing are on th“ wane, and so should be the men w ho seek our support solely to win at the polls D. Y DOLAN Service Man for Sloan. Lexington, Neb.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: We who voluntarily made darn fools of ourselves in INI7 really shouldn't be allowed to express an opinion. Even congress feeds that "our sense of patriotic duty" does not offset those shiftless, spending gam hling snd drinking habits acquired drinking rhlorided coffee and shoot ing crap* for Bull Durham, on a mud scow in La Mans or th* trenches snd thinks our heirs are better qualified to handle our adjusted compensation, than we. Personally I got homa lata in 191ft Just in tlma to borrow shout IS.fifift of that 10 per rent war tlma mnner to get hack in business (those shift less habits were overlooked then) and then of course got In on the 'down' market. I expect to pay this off by farming. Mv only hop# to do this Is with legislative help. I was 26 years old before I realized that Mr. Norris waa our senator (and he had been eenstor 10 years) and then onlv because he had written a friend stating that ha was going to retire snd spend his dotage making a one house leglsla ture. Let him retire, lla isn't aither republican or democrat. Mr. Sloan is a republican. His record in congress shows ids ability and de sire to eor\e both mv agriculture and ex service needs. He Is the man we lined I understand that he had »hree sons In the armv one of whom Is still in a French rerfieterv. Certain Abe Mart in Fortune smiles on some folks, an' It's no wonder. If th' rich lived ns noil »« th’ folks wlu> run in debt wouldn' business be tfreat? l<"op)rl|ht. 1*3* > ]y ex service men ran feel *ur» that their integrity will be again proven with a man like Sloan protecting their interests. Mr. Sloan knows our state, he knows that our Platte valley must rely entirely on the develop ment of our irrigation, power and farms. He has shown his desire in congress to help. What has Mr. Norris ever done to show he ever heard of Lawson county or farming in this state? Mv vote is unqua lifted I v for Sloan for Nebraska's senator. I believe be | will help me rid myself of that feel ing that 1 am a fool for being AN EX SERVICE MAN FARMER. Help for Judge Hastings. Omaha.—To the Editor of The Oma ha Bee: As a layman, I should like to have the opportunity to call the at tention of rnv fellow voters to the candidacy of W. G. Hastings for the position of judge of the district court. 'Hie average person knows but little about the candidates for judicial posi tions. Rarely, however, is there ac corded an occasion to vote for a man of so eminent qualification as Judge Hastings. His scholarly attainments, his years of experience, and his mod est. retiring disposition present so strong an appeal that every one who knows Judge Hastings Is desirous of seeinr him returned to the district bench. i trust that this short article may at least cause some of those whrt do not know Judge Hastings to make further inquiry about him from his friends. H A. WILLIAM** Strong For Norris. Sutton. Neb—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: In answer to an ex soldier* statement regarding the war record of Senator Norris, allow me to say: That Norris voted against our entrance into the world war, but hav ing taken that step (almost unani mously! he voted in favor of sll the measures in support of prosecuting that war to a successful conclusion* This inc luded the draft, the approprlfl tion of money, life Insurance for soldiers. Increase of pay for soldiers, and was particularly active in the revenue measures for raising money to carry on the war in a fight to in crease the tax on war profits and large income*. I don't know whence the North Bend soldier derived his misinformation. My information is from Fred .1 Ha skin's, Washington Bureau of information, taken from the congressional record. Norris' voted against the espionage measure, and he was right. I was in favor of our entrance into the war to put down militarism in a nation to w hich solemn treaties are hut scraps of paper snd killing innocent women and children as in the case of the Lusitania. I am not a republican hut we can not afford to defeat a man like Senator Norris whose proven ability and hon* esty is acknowledged bv friends snd | foes alike. A. C. GROW Ilrrati and the Worker*.
