RUTHERFORD TELLS
. OF FARM RELIEF BILL
(Continued from Page six)
vin Jones, of Texas, were commend
ed for their stand on the bill. Each
of these men was a member of the
agricultural committee and was in
position to hear all of the evidence
produced. I thought that you might
be interested in reading the editorial
and might wish to make some com
ments, as I find that the people know
very little about the nature' of the
bill for farm relief.
S. RUTHERFORD.
The editorial referred to Mr. Ruth
erford follows:
A UNION OF WEST AND SOUTH
Students of the problem of gov
ernment, and particularly our prob
lem here in the United States, are
now quite generally admitting that
the agricultural West and the agri
cultural South have been sleeping on
their rights to a fair share of the fos
tering care of the federal govern
ment while that same federal govern
ment has been dealing tenderly and
lavishly with the manufacturing and
financial interests largely centered in
the New England or North Atlantic
coast states.
Oddly enough, the people of the
agricultural West and the agricult
ural South have not only tamely sub
mitted to the dominating and domi
neering New England in the demand
of that section for laws and regula
tions to compel the West and South
to pay tribute to the East, but too
often we have seen the representa
tives and senators of the South run
to the rescue of the East when the
representatives and senators of the
West were trying to accomplish leg
islation looking to the welfare of ag
riculture in general. It was so dur
ing the last session of the national
congress. Some of the most implac
able opponents of the program of the
Middle West for farm relief were
the representatives and senators from
the South. On every vote on the
several agricultural bills favored by
the Middle West a majority of the
senators and representatives of the
South voted with the solid New Eng
land delegations, and together those
two sections were able to kill, and
did kill, every effort of the Middle
West for legislation which would
place agriculture upon equality with
manufacturing and banking interests
insofar as the fostering care of the
national government was concerned.
But after the congress had mur
dered every hope of agriculture for
a square deal between the represent
atives of the South and the repre
sentatives of the Middle West began
a get-together movement. That
movement is destined to compel the
arrogant East to soon recognize that
the agricultural people of the West
and South are determined to get to-

gether in a strong bond of mutual
interests —not for the purpose of re
taliating against the East, but for
the purpose of demanding that the
people of the West and South shall
no longer be compelled by federal
government decree to pay tribute to
the tariff barons or the banking buc
caneers of New England.
During the last session of the con
gress there were some representa
tives from the South who saw and
denounced the unholy alliance be
tween the tariff-protected New Eng
land crowd and a majority of the
representatives from the South. Hon.
Hampton Fulmer of South Carolina,
Hon. Wm. Oliver of Alabama, Hon.
Percy Quinn of Mississippi, with
Marvin Jones of Texas constituted a
Southern quartette which did splen
did service in breeding a sentiment
looking toward ultimate offensive
and defensive alliance between the
West and South as against the domi
neering New England, and it is my
hope that in the next congress those
four men may take larger voice and
hand in bringing to perfection that
ideal West and South alliance which
will not only ask but also demand a
square deal for agriculture through
out the length and breadth of the
republic.
In the membership of the last con
gress was a man instantly regarded
as the premier personality in Wash
ington. I refer to Hon. John N.
Garner, of Texas. Recognizing the
instant merit of that remarkable
man, aware of his profound state
craft, convinced beyond doubt of his
great heart of sympathy with the
common herd in our American life,
often I wondered — and regretted
while wondering — wondering why
such a lover of humanity could not
or would not support the claims of
the Middle West for legislation to
give agriculture a square deal. Of
ten I felt that if John Garner would
throw his more than magnificent per
sonality into the fight, and would
urge the men from the South to join
the men from the Middle West for
a square deal in behalf of agricult
ure—why, I felt that the fight would
be all over but the shouting, and that
the shouting would come from the
West and South, and not from New
England.
And now I am believing that dur
ing the next session of the congress
I shall see in the very forefront of
the fight for agriculture that plumed
knight of Texas who could not be in
duced to join the fight during the last
session. Today I have a letter from
that wonderful man, and the closing
paragraph gives me certain hope that
my hopes for legislation in behalf of
agriculture will soon be realized, and
realized because of a perfect union
between the agricultural West and
the agricultural South in the hall of
the American congress. I am sure
everybody in all our Middle West
will take on new hope for a govern
mental square deal in behalf of agri
culture after reading the following
THE MONROE ADVERTISER
paragraph from John Garner’s let
ter: (
“That I am in entire sympathy
with your Nebraska cornbelt country
ideas you are aware. The only ques
tion that ever comes to my mind that
gives me concern is the practicability
of the various remedies or reliefs
suggested. But now I have gotten
almost to the point where I will try
anything rather than not give the pa
tient some relief.”
That settles it. Now that John
Garner has definitely decided to
come up to the aid of the Middle
West in its fight for a square deal in
behalf of agriculture, I shall consider
the fight as good as won. The influ
ence of John Garner in the building
of a sure alliance between the agri
cultural West and South will make
that alliance a living, breathing,
fighting thing in the next congress,
and that alliance will carry the fight
to the very citadels of the tariff bar
ons and the banking buccaneers in
New England, there not to beg, there
not to plead, but there to demand and
receive for the agricultural West and
agricultural South just the same
measure of fostering federal care
now given to the hitherto dominant
and domineering New England.

When all in favor of “controlled
fires” for the sake of preventing
bigger fires has been said, the fact
remains that even a controlled fire,
is bad for the soil, slows up the
growth of the trees and lessens the
ability of the trees to prodace
turpentine and lumber.
To say we cannot find a better
way, is like saying there could be
no telephones, electric lights or
automobiles. Once people thought
they had to suffer yellow-fever epi
demics. Now, we know better.
