he said in his Kansas City speech
he would npt again submit to the Sen
ate. Nor was there any direct refer
included:
His suggestions on other questions
included.
Broadening and strengthening of

Anti-lynching legislation.
Ia the face of the estimated Treas

there was "no reason why a balanced
portion of surplus revenue should not
be applied to a reduction of taxa
tion," but he contended that any per
manent reduction would not bp war
rated at tliih time with the Govern
ment conducting a going business of
nearly -4,000,000.000 annually.
"It is unfortunate," he added,
'.'that no general agreement has beenj
reached by the various agricultural j
interests uporij any of the proposed
remedies. Out of the discussion of
various prospostls which can be had
before the Committee of Agriculture
some measure ought to be perfected
which would be generally satisfac
tory."
