Pointing out that the farmer's dollar now has a buying power only eight per cent oelow the prewar index level, .Tardine outlined speci- fic ideas for continuing improve- ment of the farmer's lot. He favored extension of coopera- tive marketing, urging a statute for large 4 farm huHificsa organizations, owned and controlled by fiirmers and managed by strong executives chosen by the producer*. He opposed government partici- pation in farm business, and espe- cially opposed governmental price fixing. He favored a federal farm beard, to protect both farmers and tSie public's interests; and advocated long t4£m mortgage credit for farm- ers. The states, he said, could aid ma- terially in putting agriculture on a firmer basis by corrupting certain banking, taxation and public ex- penditure practices. In this con- nection, he noted that many sec- tions are \over banked,\ thus lead- ing to bank failures and consequent bankruptcy for some farmers.

Ftotifc that point of view, said Mr. Mitchell, it -was well to think of the two or three million hoi £«-power that could be devel- rathe than the governor under present laws. The governor refused to discuss rumors that he intended to resign if he should be named as his par- ty's standard bearer In the next na- tional campaign. His nearest ap- proach to an answer was a broad grin, but from other sources of highest credibility, it was learned that such a procedure is now and never has been seriously entertain- ed by the chief executive. There also was a strong intima- tion that if the governor retires to private life at the close of next year he will devote himself to writ- ing—other than reporting—for a livlihood. It is assumed that the chief executive would devote him- self to discussing questions of po- tt* busy places as Three Rivers, Sfeaw inlgan FailuJ Grand More, La Tuque on the St. Maurice, and Drumntondvijle, St. Johns Sher- ported to the United States. What would that mean in the develop- ment of the industries of that country, and what would not hap- pen in tho industrial deveJopmorU vate life when Dec. 31. 1928. When he completes bis present term, the governor will have served 31 years in public office.
