Readers wrote me at length about the stupidity that I had displayed by making such a statement. Reference to that circumstance is made here at this time, because it is apropos again. It is apropos because we are in a political campaign out of which will come either of Franklin D. Roosethe velt or the election of Governor Landon of Kansas. The results of this political campaign are going to hince to a considerable extent on the attitude of the farmers of this country and if there is one segment of the American economic structure to whom the law of supply and demand means more than to another, It is to the farmers. Now, Democratic spokesmen are going about the country talking about soil conservation, about relief for the farmers, about anything and everything that will give the farmers money. Republican spokesmen are shouting and waving their arms with other propositions to aid the farmer. Some of them probably are workable, and if they are workable they must be considered constructive. But the point I am trying to make Is that in the case of either candidate, there is still too much of the idea of the superficial, of surface In other help, for agriculture. words, the programs still take into account some circumvention of the law of supply and demand. That statement is not wholly true of Governor Landon's farm program, but unless the New Dealers come forward with more than they have thus far advanced, I think it can be said their program offers nothing more than a continued raid on the Treasury of the United States with no plans at all for correcting underlying conditions. There was one phase of Governor Landon's program, as advanced in speeches at Des Moines, Iowa and Minneapolis, Minn, that appealed to me. Brushing aside verbiage and detail. Governor Landon basically has in mind, apparently, a desire to get the government out of the farmer's hair. He seems convinced that there are many things which the farmers would like to do for themselves and will do for themselves if the machinery upon which they can operate is made available. He proposes, for example, to seek legislation that will enable the farmers to finance themselves through borrowing from commercial agencies, banks and trust companies, instead of from the government. With that I agree to the fullest. It means simply that farmers again can be masters of their own souls as well as the crops which they grow for it, puts them in a position to sell when they want to sell, without the necessity for asking permission from a bureaucrat in Washington. It means further that no bureaucrat in Washington can issue an order to that farmer that he must dispose of his stored crop. It seems to me as well that anyone who analyzes the present regimentation of the farmers from Washington must recognize that which has always been true: Every time the government, which means politicians, attempts to mess into private business, that private business goes from bad to worse and it does not matter how b;id it was when bureaucrats took hold. It will be worse thereafter. I have been wondering, however, how far Mr. Landon will go in enof couragement Hits Root of the family type Farm Profcemfa"ms. You will remember that he spoke at length of family type farms In his Des Moines address. Personally, I feel that he hit upon a very Important point I think it is important because it strikes at the root of the farm problem. In discussing help for the man who owns or wants to own a small farm, Governor Landon surely is proposing a program that will serve this nation well because no nation whose farms are widely owned by those who operate them can be headed toward fascism or communism. I do not know how the Governor as President will be able to put the federal government behind such a program, but it is to be assumed that he had definite ideas on the subject or he would not have boldly stated his position. My hope is that it can be done not with government money, but with money supplied from private institutions since there has been too much competition with business of the nation already.

The reason I have advocated this action so strongly is the fact that there are too many tenant farmers in the United States now, far too many. It is fundamental, in my opinion, that this nation can get on with the present trend. Is is sad, but it is true, that there are about forty per cent of our farms now In other operated by tenants. words, one out of less than three farms in the United States is worked by a man who does not own it.
