1 1 Golden Rule Is
Urged Between
Farm hud City
t
i Will Bring Better Understand-
ing for Solution of Their
Problems, J. D. Larson
f Tells Farmers Congress.
; Strict application of the principle
?cf the "Golden Ru!e" ai the best
: means of bringing about a better un
derstanding between business men
in the cities and agriculturalists in
the surrounding country as a solu
tion of their problems was urged be
fore the Nebraska Farmers' congress
here last night by J. David Larson,
commissioner for the Omaha Cham
ber of Commerce.
"Most of the trouble in the world,"
he asserted, "comes from misunder
standing. The sooner, therefore,
that there is closer affiliation between
the business men and their partners
in the country, the sooner will there
be-lin adjustment of economical dis
turbances." Reviews Problems.
Mr. Larson reviewed the problems
' that are facing the farmers of the
nation, and declared
"If there is one thing we need
tnore than another in the city and
i r tountry it is to get our feet on the
Jrround and get back to the Golden
lc. Individualism is only success
's; ful when it considers the rights of
? others. The interests of the city and
country are so interwoven that the
failure of one reflects on the other.
Vr ' "Cities are only substantial and
t built on a firm foundation when sur
rounding country is producing and
develoDinsr. Citv builders have come
:i to a very definite conclusion that the
'- f afest way to build a good city is to
"develop the country surrounding.
Business-does not prosper unless the
farmers prosper. Their interests are
identical; thus, anything that can be
.2 done to make them understand each
2 either better is a step forward.
1 i Arguments Useless.
' i " "There are difficult problems con
fronting the farmers at this time
J The business men also has difficult
problems and they must be solved
t In the interest of both. Both are in
volved in the economic solution and
-one cannot be adjusted without the
other. Hot headed arguments or
accusations on either side are use
S less.
V" "The adjustment of present day
Jr. troubles will only come about when
more of the principle of the Golden
. Rule has been used on both sides.
' Most of the trouble in the world
comes from misunderstanding.
Establishes Bureau.
"The Omaha Chamber of Com
; merce. realizing the importance of a
closer relationship between city and
"country, has established an agri-
cultural bureau with a practical
f farmer in charge, which has for its
purpose the creating of friendly rela
f tions between the city and country
and assisting the farmer in solving
some of his difficulties. Some head-
way is being made. : It is a depart-
ment of co-operation working to the
i end thaf some day both city and
country will realize that their inter-
ests are identical and can be solved
by co-operation and the practice o!
I the Golden Rule."

5j ; "The misdirection and exploita-
tion of some groups of organized
3 labor, through grafting leadership;
5 has been revealed in New York
City, and has been reported in
some other larger cities," the report
. 5- said. "This has spread to com
binations of employers, who work
J, ing together with such grafting
t. labor leaders, have combined to
i; force unduly high prices. The Dc-
partment of Justice is urged to
prosecute the wrongdoers when
f; ever they are found to have violated
: the federa1 statutes."
H f Establishment of more trade
schools by cities and states to train
apprentices for the building trades
Y, was recommended as was the crea
?. tion of a 'ederal bureau to assist in
- framing building codes and at the
, same time lower costs.
Financing building investment,
the committee said, should be aided
r m several ways, suggesting lower--
ing of excess profits and surtaxes,
-;, and tax exemption for real estate
... mortgages. A modification of the
federal reserve act, to permit mem
t' ber banks to invest in long time
i mortgages, was further recommend-
ed, and the committee said it in-
dorsed the principle of "the home
4 loan bank 131. which is designed to
facilitate a wider distribution of
real .estate mortgages through
standard bond issues." )
', t - Popular, saying and thrift, it was
concluded, would be aided. by con-
S soliciting all federal thrift activities
v..nd by amending the postal savings
,;hw "to provide adequate interest
' Kfor depositors." ,. . !

Chief Complaint.
The chief complaint of farmers ar
riving in Omaha for the session yes
terday morning seemed to be that
while business men are able to bor
row money from their banks to con
duct business the farmers are unable
to borrow money from the. Farm
Loan bank.
It is believed tht farmers will fa
vor the proposed formation of the
$100,000,000 Chicago corporation for
financing purchases of American
products in Europe. ' Decline in
prices of grains is attributed to lack
of foreign demand, due to inability
of foreign countries to finance large
purchases from this country, it iS
pointed out. -
The annual address of O. G. Smith,
president of the congress, will be de
livered this morning.
"Financing the Farmer" will be
discussed by M. L. Corev, attorney
for the Federal Land bank, here
Wednesday afternoon.

Lack of Sectionalism
Feature of Farmers'
Convention, Says Lute
Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 13. (Special.)
H.'D. Lute, secretary of the Ne
braska Farm Bureau federation, has
returned from Indianapolis where he
was a
ddegate from this stte to the
national convent! of the
annual
American Farm Bureau Federation.
Mr. Lute says that approximately
1,100 leaders in farm movements,
from thorughout the United States
attfiuied the daily meetings. Thirty
seven stites were represented with
accredited delegates' and there were
delegates from eight f tates now in
process of organization in the farm
bi.reau federation. Only three states
were unrepresented, having not
joined in the farm bureau federation
movement. 1 '
The outsanding feature of the con
vention, Mr. Lute - says, iwas the
utter lack of sectionalism and the ap
parent cor-jflusion reached by the
farmers o f the "north, east, south and
v-est that in the main their interests
are mutual and can best be promoted
by national co-operation.
