Republican Text Book Points Out
How Tariff Has Helped
Nation’s Agriculture.
BARS. HOOVER’S quick wit and tact great opportunities gripped the wel­
will stand her in good stead if
■he succeeds Mrs. Coolidge as first
lady of the land. This incident proves
the point:
Well known as are the Hoovwi in
Palo Alto and friendly though they
have always been with the faculty and
students at Stanford University, when
Mr. Hoover returned to his old home
in July, candidate for tho highest of­
fice at the command of the American
people, a natural chasm seemed to
open up between him and his neigh­
bors. In spite of bands, and college
■ongs and university yells, at sight of
him there swept over the crowd a sud­
den realization that before them stood
the man chosen by the Republican
party to lead it to victory. The thought
of his new responsibilities and his
coming crowd and it turned quiet.
In simple, direct language some one
congratulated Mr. Hoover and told
him how glad his old friends were
to see him. With equal simplicity
Mr. Hoover replied that he was glad
to be back.
Then ensued silence until Mrs.
Hoover stepped forward. She recalled
that in their student days, just -ne
phrase had been generally used at
Stanford to express indecision as to
the next move. She seized upon the
old slogan:
"Well, do we ride or straggle?”
Shouts of laughter greeted the fa­
miliar question. The ice was broken.
The awkward moment passed. The
Hoover neighbors pressed toward to
offer their congratulations.
REVIEWS HOOVER FARM PLAN
First Section of New Campaign Docu­
ment Deals With Basic Farm
Problems.
WASHINGTON — The American
farmer under Republican administra­
tion has had practically a monopoly
of his home market, in this protected
market, lie disposes of 95 per cent
of his products at prices higher than
are paid elsewhere in the world for
like products. This is pointed out in
tho Republican campaign textbook.
The complete book is being printed
in installments of which the first is
devoted entirely to agriculture, and
Includes pertinent extracts from Her-
Loan Banks Aid Farmers
Since 1921 there has been made
available to agricultural borrowers un­
der Republican administrations a total
of $2,774,198,040, chiefly through the
federal farm loan banks, the joint
stock land banks, the intermediate
credit banks and the war finance cor­
poration. This recapitulation does not
take Into account such organizations
as the Agricultural Credit Corporation,
organized in 1924 to relieve an agri­
cultural crisis in the northwest, nor
the development of federal warehous­
ing as an aid to marketing under the
amended Federal Warehousing Act.
In the same period, under a Republi­
can tariff which protects more agri­
cultural products than any in history,
the farm price of wheat has increased
20 per cent; rye, 20 per cent; corn,
70 per cent; oats, 30 per cent; barley,
GO per cent; flaxseed, 27 per cent;
beef cattle, 80 per cent; salves, 50 per
cent; butter, 15 per cent; hogs, 25
per cent; sheep, 80 per cent; lambs,
72% per cent; wool, 100 per cent.
The fallacy of arbitrary methods for
lessening the spread between the pro­
ducer and the ultimate consumer, such
as are advocated by the 1928 Demo­
cratic platform, is pointed.
They
would necessarily result in price-fix­
ing, and inevitably the 89,000,000 non-
agricultural consumers would be fix­
ing the price they desired to pay the
28,000,000 agrlculutral producers.
"Such a proposal is abhorrent to
the spirit of American institutions,”
says the textbook. “It is the very es­
sence of state socialism in that it
would completely eliminate the ele­
ment of individual initiative and en­
terprise with their commensurate In­
divdual reward.”
Mr. Hoover’s suggestions for the im­
provement of the farm situation are
reviewed, particularly the emphasis
he has laid upon the need for devel­
opment of the home market, rather
than experimental attempts to increase
shipments of our agricultural products
to foreign countries.

As a result of the new value offered by today’s
Pontiac—as a consequence of its greater power,
higher speed and smarter style—this low-priced six
is winning new heights of public favor . . . Pontiac
Six now provides new motoring luxury. Staunch,
beautiful bodies by Fisher—smaller, sturdier wheels
with larger tires—an engine of 186 cubic inches dis­
placement— the cross-flow radiator — the G-M-R
cylinder head ... all these and many other advance­
ments are emphasized bv the performance suprem­
acy resulting from new carburetion and mani­
folding . . . That’s why today’s Pontiac Six is
attracting thousands of new burers. That's why it is
winning leadership in the low-priced six-cylinder
field.
