FARMERS NEED CHEAPER PRODUCTION.
Referring tc the election in Minnesota recently
at which the Republican Parly was severely de
feated, Senator Moser, Chairman of the Republican
Senatorial Committee, frankly admitted that it had in
a way punir.hed the Republicans for surrendering to
the farm bloc in legislative matters. lie said they
had given the farmers the sort of tariff they had
asked for, and weakened themselves in the Hast by
doing it, and had put through the rest of the farm
tie' legislative program yet it had not satisfied. "I
am convinced.'' lie added, "that the legislative remedy
that will be tffired in the next Congress will be as
ineffectual as that forced upon us by the agricultural
bloc In the last Congress.”
Artificial stimulation does permanently cure in
dustrial or business conditions. In the end If there
are open markets, adequate and reasonably priced
tram pollution facilities and available money foi
legitimate financing industry and business will aright
itself in the course of time. There was a time when
we ecu Id get along fairly will with a tariff to guard
the home market and at the same time the farmer
could sell his surplus in the foreign market, but
that was when the consumption of Europe was
greater and there was h competition from other
countries in the production of surplus crops.
The American fanner and tne American business
man needs the removal of trade obstacles rather than
props here and there. We should have a low tariff,
lower transportation, a larger labor supply through
Inci eared immigration and, if possible, an adjust
ment of the European situation. There things would
permit the enlargement of tlie foreign markets and
increase the demands cf the home" market. Cost of
production I?, too high in the United States. It is so
high that it is resulting in curtailing foreign markets
through our Inability to compote with foreign pro
dueri.' and slowing down construction and production
in this country and thereby curtailing the home mar
kets. Tills is a situation that cannot be helped by
artificially raising pricer. It Is one that can be helped
by legislation that will bring down the prices the
farmer has to pay.
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE IS POOR MAN.
President Coolidge, like many of our Presidents
Including McKinley, Taft and Wilson, entered the
White Home a poor man. Mr. Coolldge began a
political career and became a public official shortly
after he completed his legal education, and has been
in public office all the time since. He was reared
on a farm and worked with his hands throughout the
years of his youth, and through many vacations since.
His wife, before marriage, earned his way as a school
teacher. '1 lie Coolidge home at Northampton, Mass.,
is the same one they rented when they w'ere first
married and they arc still paying $30 a month for It.
The Coolidge boys have often worked during vaca
tion to eke out the family income, according to re
ports, but that is probably more due to the old
faehioned, thrifty New England education their par
ents are giving them. Recently when a fine man
sion was offered as a present to the Government for
use as a residence for Hie Vice-President Mr. Coolidge
asked that it bo not accepted giving as a reason that
he could not maintain such an establishment.
President McKinley’s modest savings were Wiped
out shortly before ho became a Presidential candi
date as a result of the endorsement of notes for
friends. The losses were partly nvado up by friends
and Mr. McKinley saved money from his salary while
President, so that his widow was left with a modest
competency. His father was u mechanical engineer
and worked with his hands.
President Taft had been „ public official and a
jurist practically ail his life before becoming President
and had never been able to make money, though he
came from a wealthy family and was aided by his
brothers. After leaving the Presidency he' accepted
a professorship at Yale University.
President Wilson, tlie son of a Presbyterian clergy
man, was a college professor and later University
President. His salary was small, though it was added
to by writing unu lecturing. Ho went to the White
House without fund: and meager wardrobe but with
a large library. However, like President McKinley
he saved money from his salary while President’
His second wife, married while he was President,
is supposed to have considerable wealth
Piesident Roosevelt inherited a fortune of a half
million or .so and nearly doubled it during his life
time President Harding left «„ estate or between
1800.000 and J 1,000,000. ail made by himself, mostly
In the newspaper business and from the careful in
vestment cf profit . President Cleveland left a large
aw practice to become Mayor of Buffalo. Governor
f New Wk and President, of the United States
in ‘urn and owned a modest office building on a
good Buffalo street. However, hie-accumulations were
not enough to produce a living income and he prac
ticed law during the interim between his first and
eeeond Adminietratlons and derived an income from
his lectures at Princeton and his writings after he
retired from the Presidency. However, he left his
family in comfortable circumstance s.
j As wualth la now measured the United States hi
never hud a rich man for President, Washington
was one of the wealthiest Americans of his time,
tilt ugh he was worth probably not over a half
million. The Adam-os, Jefferson, Madison. Monroe
and Jackson were "well-to-do,” Van Buren was
counted rich when at the heigbth of his lame, but,
like Jefferson, he died in straightened circumstances.
Pierce was well-to-do, and Buchanan was what was
u-garded as wealthy in his day and community.
Tilden, whom many believe won the Presidency
in 1876 and who received a large plurality of the
votes even as counted by the Klectoral Commission,
was a multi-millionaire.
May 14, 1S20, just two days less than a month
from the day he was nominated for President, Senator
Warren G. Harding declared in a speech at floston,
"II I lived In Massachusetts I would be supporting
Calvin Cool id-go for the Presidency.”
The unfortunate thing about President Harding's
Seattle speech is that those Easterners who are writ
ing about It do not understand conditions in Alaska
well enough to understand it—or they are attempting
to mislead the people.
Throughout Canada, under orders from the Dom
inion Qovrenment, flags remained at half-staff on all
public buildings and wherever displayed at ail during
the entire period between t.he death and the funeral
of President Harding.
It is all very well In time of peace for pacifists
to urge refusal to tight as a panacea for war. But
in tisie of war it does not work well. Think of
the life of Bergdoll since he refused to tight!
i
Alaskan Dependence.
I
(Cordova Times.)
That the people of Alaska evince too much of a
tendency to depend upon the Government for help
la one of the conclusions by Interpreters of the im
pressions received by President Harding on his tour
of the Territory. In his speeches in Alaska and
■Seattle Mr. Harding did give hints of tills, and that
[there is truth in the charge may not be denied by
1 Alaskans. Discouragement of initiative and inde
, pendence is invariably the effect of Governmental pa
jtcrnaliam. That this attitude among the people of
| Alaska was noted particularly along the line of the
[Government Railway is but another instance in sup
port of a long-recognized truth. No doubt Alaskans
! have come to look too much to the Government. The
1 Governmental authority over the resources of Alaska
I that was assumed in 1910 has had its inevitable
; effect. Governmental beneflclencles, supervision and
! restrictions, throwing the people back on the re
sources of the nation rather than on their own, are
j bound to react to the detriment of a people. Few
l Alaskans are ready to maintain that control of
Alaskan resources is not a good thing. Few Alaskans
are opposed to the policy of conservation. The criti
cism has been, not against the principle, but aguinst
the way it had been administered. A Government
policy which, while guarding the resources of the
country against exploitation, gave the widest oppor
tunity to the individual settler, would have found
j no opporiton among Alaskans. It was with the
hope of demonstrating this fact to the nation’s Ad
! ministration—even to showing the demoralizing cf
j feet of the opposite course upon the spirit of the peo
| pie themselves—that the visit of the President was so
i eagerly awaited. The hope of demonstrating the
| effects of an Interlocking administration by officials
| unfamiliar with the Territory's conditions was the
principal sentiment animating thoughtful Alaskan
I minds. That President Harding did observe this,
jthat in his studious and critical way he saw how
■and where administrative changes are needed, was
lone of the most hopegiving results of his visit. The
President himself, with his sympathetic under
standing, has been taken away, and whatever he
may have been able personally to do will now
evolve upon his associates, those three members of
the Cabinet who accompanied him North. That their
attitude will be to carry oiu the President’s desires
o the extent of giving Alaskans the widest possible
opportunity to work out their own destiny, is the
assurance of which Alaskans have the greatest hope.
