The American farmer, he said, la the lifeblood of the nation, and he showed how the American farmer has far outstripped the tiller of the soil In other countries, from the very beginning ef civilization on this continent. The governor said that the day is past when th farmer could virtually Ignore the current prices for farm products, and depend for his profit on ths gain In value of farm land. The price of farm land, he said, haa about reached Its peak, and the farmer must get his reward from the list yearly return from his business. spoke of Mr. Howard as the represents live of the greatest American industry. A womens chorus, directed by Mrs. Mattie R. Evans, sang, after which Mr. Evans Introduced Mr. Howard as a great leader of a great movement. The farm bureau of the nation, Mr. Evans said, has 1500 locals, with an aggregate membership of more than 1,000,000. It Is organized in every state except South Carolina. In responding to the Introduction by Mr. Evans Mr. Howard said he waa Iowa farmer, Just a "plain every-da- y temporarily taken from his dally avocations and placed In a position of responsibility in which he la attempting as best he can to serve hie nation." on world-wid- e Mr. Howard touched . conditions as affecting the American farmer, Opposes Cancellation. "The American farmer, he said, "hae more at stake In the European situation than any other class of American interests. Bankers and manufacturers ars running across to Europe to Investigate. 1 have yet to hear of the farmer who has done so. Yet it is our problem, because Europe Is our only customer. That customer Is the competitor of the American banker, merchant and manufacturer. Remove that market and, after a period of readjustment, the banker or manufacturer would get along. The American farmer would lose the outlet for his surplus "We cannot es n American people Ignore our world responsibilities, nor deny our World cltisenship "We must realise that If the European debts are paid and a market for our surplus provided, we must accept in payment their commodities. "As an American farmer I never will consent to the cancellation of the European obligation, to our government In order that Europe mav he able to pay the ten billion obligation of Europe to the bankers of Wall street." This announcement was received with applause, and Senator Smoot, who waa on .the platform, remarked: "There la not much danger of that," to which Mr. I think there Is not," Howard replied, Price Spread Upheld. . -- . There never Jist been, said Mr. Howard after recalling attempts made In ancient Rome and. modern 8weden "and probably never will be a successful movement. The problem, therefore, I to make agriculture so atto stay tractive that people will an tile farms rather thanprefer leave them. I believe we can do It. It I did not think o I would not be in farm bureau work. "In the passage of years he went on, when land, as I vertly believe, will become our basic unit of value in this country, we will have to meet certain problems. "Some people are appalled at the spread In prices between the producer and the consumer. Wo hear that cooperation will eliminate that spread. Personally, I do not believe so. Cooperation will help, but will not solve all our difficulties. We are making less progress than any other great nation, with the exception of EnCo- gland, In cooperative movements nomic, but also the social problems of other countries. When Germany and Russia come into their own It will be largely through the farmer and his cooperative agencies. "I am for cooperation because It cuts down margins, and because It la the greatest educational movement In this time. When I market cooperatively 1 follow my product to its destination, and I increase my knowledge of world affairs. Another problem to he faced by the American farmer, said the speaker, was that of sgrleultural finance "Our great financial Institutions." he aid. "have followed the line of greatest profit and least resistance. They hve not built up with the farmers' needs In sight. Ask New System-."We are paying a higher interest rate than the merchant or manufacturer, and we have, the heat credit tin earth.I insist that a svstem of financing which will discriminate against the basic pro- ducer Is wrong and must be corrected " Mr. Howard advocated a system of Intermediary credit. In Illustrating this his own efforts to get point he told of electric light on hi farm. He signed short time dote which be renewed before he was able to pay a dollar-the principal. "How would the city womah get that light," he asked. "A municipal election, and the Issuance of twenty-yea- r bonds. Get the point? Not un- -. til th farmers Intermediary credit demand Is satisfied will 1 personally be content. In discussing this subject he wow the applause of his audience when he that the farmer should "put Into g his home every device Which on the farm la a necessity, but which In the city la a luxury. For th city woman does not need the vacuum cleaner and the electric washer h as much as the farm woman."

Hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth pf products of Arizona that formerly had -'arket are now bought by purchasing a of .the large Industries of that as a result of that cooperation which Is the keynote of the farm bureau organization. It was asserted yesterday by C. 8. Brown of Tucson, president of th Arizona Farm. Bureau Federation. Mr. Brown, who is also a member of th national executive committee of th farm bureau organisation, says that coArlsona, operation haa been obtained In not only among the farmers themselves but among the six leading Industries and Interests of the state.

As a result of farm bureau efforts, grower of long staple cotton are getto six cent a pound more for ting three their cotton and $2 to $13 a ton more for their cotton teed than they otherwise would obtain." In response to a question regarding th bureau toward attitude- - of the tax problem, Mr. Brown said that the industrial congress has made a Survey of seven states and haa found that not one has reduced Its taxes. "Instead of trying to cut down taxes, he said, we are trying to Increase the' taxable wealth. We regard tax expenditures as an Investments During the time- - of disorder and disruption, farmers and livestock men have been unable to pay their taxes. This brought about a condition that threatened all interests In the community.

Construction Costs More in September - Construction work undertaken last month cost $79,240 more than that September, 1921, according to data compiled by W, D, Finney, Tne totals city building Inspector. were $330,800. aa against $251,560. The following comparison was made by the building Inspector: September, new construction, 197$, 100, cost, $309,4281 alterations and repair 29, cost, $21,375, September, 1921, new constructions, 102, cost, $230,635; alterations and repairs,. 23, cost, $20,-97- 5. , 302.0 4482.3 Explains Fundings Some (misconception seems to have arisen, as a result of this reports On newspaper also carried an editorial opposing federal aid for roads on the ground that It was to pork barrel" that Nevada, with a smaller proposition; was receiving more federal aid population, than Utah. The writer evidently- - waa not familiar with the method of Allotment of these funds, and the following statement may serve to correct the misapprehension: "The original federal aid road act passed by congress In 1916 contains the provision that the secretary of agriculture, after deducting $ per cent for administration purpose shall apportion the remainder of the appropriation for each fiscal year in th following manner: d In the ratio which the area of each state bears to the total area or all th in the ratio which the states; population of each state bears to th total population of all the states as shown by the latest available federal census, In the ratio which- - th of rural delivery and atar routes mileage In each state bears to the total mileage of rural and etar In routes all the state delivery Funds so apportioned stand to the credR of th state unless the time limit of the appropriation expires. No state has yet lost funds from this appropriation by expiration of the time limit, so that there haa been no transfer In any way of funds apportioned to a state. "The above method of allotment of federal aid funds has been continued by succeeding acts passed in 1919 and 1921 There la now standing to the credit of the state of Utah all funds which have been apportioned .4n the above manner and which have not been expended in the state by the state highway department. One-thir- one-thi- rd one-thi- rd Enforcement ' and Thrift Are .Likely Subjects to Be - Stressed. "The misconception which has arisen to the fact that the state! of Utah has not expended Its funds while other western states have Used nearly all their The progress on Utah apportionment roads Is now such that all available fund will shortly be used and the state will assume ft proper place In the record of completed projects. Th question Is asked- - Why should the federal government appropriate funds for road construction In the states? There are many good reason but the most logical ones are as follows: The federal government bears the cost of the transportation of the mall and no other affects this coat more directly thanthing the condition of the roads. This Is clearly shown In Utah Jn the case of mail transportation to the Uintah basin, the territory around Montlcello and that around Kanab. If good, roads were constructed to the outlying districts the cost of mail delivery would be greatly reduced. "The great Increase In automobile haa changed the road transportation lem from a local to a national one.- -probit, is probably not exaggeration to say that of the cars which travel over a distance of 100 miles In any direction in the state of Utah, over 50 per cent bear licenses from other states. In other words, the interest of neighboring states In Utah roads, so far aa travel over a considerable distance Is concerned. I greater than that of the state Itself. This Interest is so great that there would be ample Justification for one state to expend Its funds for road construction in another state through which Its ritlsena must travel. If such a procedure were possible. Since It Is not. the logical procedure is to expend fund through fedecai rhattnels.Thfs Is particularly true tn the Intermountain district where revenues for road purposes are small In proportion to the area. Tourists and business men from eastern states desire to travel through this territory to reach western tolnts, and vice versa. In this Intermountain district the application of federal funds to road construction Is the logical method of Increasing th development of the entire country and results In the greatest good to the greatest number."
