A MUCH NEEDED AMENDMENT

New York World-In Senator Ken
yon's proposed amendment to the con.
stitution giving the president power to
veto single items in appropriation bills
is provided an effective check upon
congress. AS matters stand, the presi-
dent is barred from exercising his
Judgment and sitting the bad from the
good. He must approve or disapprove
a bill as it comes to him. in it's en-
tirety. Though convinced that many
items call for unjustifiable expendi-
lures, in practice he is bound to con-
slider that by ecourse to the veto he
may delay or defeat necessary legis.
lation and in the name of expediency
is obliged to accept the lesser evil for
the greater good.
1t is a situation by which congress
chronically profits in indulging its
habits of extravaganza. To load down
a naval or army or sundry civil ap-
preparation bill with projects clearly
unsound or questionable, running into
many HuiiilOuS, is d1 eSldDilSneQ trlck,
because it knows exactly how the
presidents hands are tied. To take
advantage of his embarrassment by
making him a party to its wasteful
schemes is a regular rule.
The Kenyon amendment would put
a stop to that, or at least place re-
sponsibility where it properly belongs.
l. has been demonstrated time and
again that where the governor of New
York acting within his legal powers.
diligently scans appropriation bills and
kills separate items as they deserve,
he saves to the taxpayers Of the state
many millions of dollars. The knowl
edge that he has the power serves
indirectly as a curb upon the legisla-
ture. To withhold from the president
of the United States similar veto pow.
ers is an offense against right business
policy.

THE FARMERS DEMAND

Sioux City Journal - Representing
the farmers interests, the American
Farm Bureau Federation has pre-
pared a memorial asking the admins
tration and congress to effect a reduc-
ton in railroad freight rates. The
memorial asks specifically for the re-
peal Of the provision of the transpor-
tation act which empowers the inter
state commerce commission to make
rates that will produce 5h to 6 per
cent in net revenue for the roads. The
federation takes the attitude that, in
the process of reconstruction, every
other line of business in the country
has suffered losses, and that, under
the act, the government extends to
the roads a permanent guarantee that
is not In accord with the treatment of
other industries.
The railroad freight rates sitution
has its many sides, Of course, as have
all issues that come before the people.
The Journal has believed all along that
the freight rates should be reduced,
Its argument being that cheaper hauls
would invite more shippers to trans
port goods and thus relieve the ten
sion Of an unnatural business condi-
ton. The roads have met demands
that the rates be lowered by empha-
sizing the enormous operating costs,
with a nnrf of rl,H A.
labor board is blamed for increasing
the wage scale last year and not re-
ducing it in like amount now. The
roads insist they are losing money and
that they cannot afford to lose more
by Gripping the source of their re-
enue.
The government Is now promising
help to the roads by a possible re-
funding Of their debts. 1t is inferred
from what President Harding has
said on the railroad question that he
does not propose to have the govern
ment stand permanently behind any
industry that should be self support.
ing. On the other hand, IL thorough
investigation proves that an industry
so imperative al that providing trans.
portation cannot prosper under the
laws OF the country. the laws will have
to be changed. The appeal of the
American Farm Bureau Federation is
a that may be looked into by on.
Gals of the government to the ad.
vantage OF the entire country.

TIE FARMER AND THE PUBLIC

The relation of the public to the
farmer and the public's dependence on
the farmer are things that need en-
phasis now, when there is a disposl-
ton on the part of many to feel that
the farmer is asking too much. the
situation has been stated admirably
by Bernard NJ. Baruch, who gave such
splendid service as chairman OF the
war industries board, in the July num-
Der of the Atlantic Monthly. Among
other things, Mr.. Baruch says:
1--WE shall destroy our W agrlcul-
ture and extend our sources of food
distantly and precariously, II we do
not see to 1t that our farmers are well
and fairly paid for their services. The
farm gives the nation men as well as
food. Cities derive their vitality and
are forever renewed from the country,
but an impoverished countryside ex-
ports intelligence and retains %unintel-
ligence. Only the lower grades OF
mentality and character will remain
on, or seek, the farm unless agricul'
ture Is capatls of being pursued with
contentment and adequate compensa
ton. Hence, to embitter and impov'
erish the farmer is to dry up and con
taminate the vital sources Of the ma
ton.
1--WE ali flourish or decline with the
farmer"
There, in brief, is the reason for an
open-minded attitude toward the prob
lens Of the farmer today.

Heaviness was most pronounced

There were evidences that specu-
] lators for the short account succeeded

i and the absence of public support
continued TO assist Inem IN lHeir op-
| erations. The uncertainties of the
situation were such, however, that

oENGLISH PROTEST TAX.
Movie Film Producers Say Proposed

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, August IA letter pro-
testing against the proposed Amer
lean import tax upon motion picture
films as "prohibitive and detrimental
to the international interchange OF
ideas of life" appeared in recent
issue of the London Times. signed by
sixteen British film producers, VINO
appended their signatures to the let
ter as members of the British pro-
ducers' committee of the 1ncorpor-
ated Association of Kinematograph
Manufacturers.
The letter declared that if British
manufacturers are to be entirely de-
barred from introducing scenes OF
English life to the people of Amer
ica there can be no option but to
prevent the practically free impor-
tation of American films into this
country"
The letter notes that the 80 per
cent ad valorem duty is based upon
the cost of production of similar
work in the United States. assert
ing at the same time that the cost
of the production is admittedly about
five times as heavy there as in Eng
land. The writers say that about
IS per cent of the films shown on
British screens are of American
origin.
