Ask them il they havo been working since President Hoover came "In, ana they say "Yes" unanimously. Tho golf situation worries the world, and therefore, It worries us, in spite of the Jact that the gold keeps pouring In on us. Our gold s'upply, by far the greatest on earth, has increased by $100,000,000 within a few days and by $300,000,000 within three months.

Whether the commission will Issue temporary order giving the Imported rubber. We buy the eame Crartlill plan of stabilising East amount of rubber now for about $50,000,000.

We used a more than $200,000,000 for our coffee. We buy tho same amount of coffee now, and as good, $40,000,000, Our tariff has nothing to do with the world's troublco. Few realize that 68 per cent of all our Importations still come In, duty free, whereas Europe on an average admits only 52 'per cent free of duty. Our Importation of taxed goods, under the new tariff, are as high, In proportion to the total imports as they were before the new tariff went into effect. Foreign countries, Argentina, Aus" "Canada, especially, have more and more savagely farmers, using American and American inventions to take the export trade from out Northwtst Canada, thanks to Panama canal, saves eight centsi bushel-on wheat transportation, wd those foreign countries demand access to our agricultural markets.

They can not have it, unless we are willing to have nil our farmers driven to the cities. France sets, the wise example. Tho tariff on wheat, going Into France, is ONE DOLLAR A BUSHEL, and the French farmer gets a dollar nnd a half for his wheat. The Kansas rfarmer gets 38 cents a bushel for his wheat, at. the grain elevator.

No wonder he asks for protection. He should have It, nnd so should all American workers and business men. This Is their country.

The delegation, calling on Ross Sterling In tho afternoon, after seeing the commission in the morning, told the state's chief executive that they cliev the Cranfill an would solve the oil production problem, without a special session of the legislature to make it legal and compulsory. Terrific pressure Is being brought on Governor Sterling hourly to call a special session of the legislature to pass additional oil conservation laws, he told the delegation.
