The politicians are already pricking up their ears at the rumblings from the agricultural region as envisioning a possible insurgency over farm protective policies that will crystalize in a movement to make Capper, Lowden or Dawes a candidate for the Republican nomination for president in 192S against Mr. Coolidge, if the president should decide to seek another term. The major items of the proposed program Senator Capper outlined as follows: 1. Legislation providing machinery for segregating the surplus of any crop, selling It abroad for what it will bring, presumably at a price below that of the home market, and distributing the loss among the producers. 2. Development of marketing with the assistance of govi ernment agencies. a. T.irmrrilWnttnn nf th farm Innn plan and amplification of the farm lim- credit system. 4. Tax relief for the farmer, to be accomplished by rigid economy in national and local government and by a constitutional amendment prohibitsecurities, the ing issuance of present ana increasing volume oi which is becoming an unbearable tas burden to agriculture. "In enlisting the interest of congress in his behalf, the farmer is not asking nor expecting special favors," Senator Capper began. "All ho asks Is that his business be given equal consideration with other business. In so far as legislation can contribute to this end, the farmer is entitled to and I am convinced, will get favorable P.nd friendly consideration. tax-fre- e Mitchell Touted For Police Job Washington.
