of Agriculture.
No. 2 says it does not involve Gov
ernment price fixing. But the prices
at which surpluses are to be pur-
chased are to be determined by the
Federal Farm Board, which is to be
governmental agency. The original
Nc Nary Haugen bin provided an
elaborate scheme for determining the
prices Of farm crops in relationship
to the prices of other commodities,
but in the new measure no such re-
striction is placed upon the Federal
Farm Board 1t is to buy at a fair"
price. There is a suggestion of in.
tention that the fair" price should
be the world price plus the margin of
the protective tariff, but this would
not hold. for instance, in the case OF
cotton. upon which there is no tariff.
EQUALIZATION Fee Denied.

ernment subsidy, since Treasury ad,

Increased Annuity Sure.

That the bill to be reported will
raise the maximum annuity from $720
to $1,000 seems assured. The cues
tions remaining to be settled, and
the ones which have the greatest
bearing on cost are: The ages at
which employees should be retired, the
maximum salary to be used in COM
putting the annuity and the figure to
be applied to this maximum salary as
a divisor.,
Reports gained circulation yester-
day that the subcommittee would
recommend a measure somewhat SINH
lar to the bill which passed the Sen
ate last year, but which failed of
action in the House. That bill fixed
the age limits of retirement at 62
wears for mechanics and postal work
ers and 65 years for other employees.
This plan would cost the Government
about $35, 100000 a year.
The existing law retires railway

at 70. This arrangement makes the

The report of the actuaries on re-
tirement." said Mr.. Steward, is, in
substance, that to provide reasonably
adequate annuities in place of the
present Woefully insufficient amounts
will cost the Federal Government some
considerable money. Certainly, This
was anticipated by Congress when 1t
passed the original retirement act.
In providing a substantial appro-
priation for retirement purposes the
Federal Government will be merely
assuming a natural obligation to it's
employees. Stripped of all its techni-
calities, with the actuaries' report be-
fore the committees of Congress, the
retirement situation is simply this:
Congress has substantially reduced
Federal taxes. The President of the
United States has insisted that further
appropriations be held to a minimum.
If the Chief Executive considers the
granting of fair annuities to retired
civilian employees as justifying an ap-
preparation Congress will undoubtedly
take favorable action without delay.
The Federal employees throughout the
United States are awaiting with tense
interest an expression from their chief
on this, to them, all-important mat
ter"

of actuaries had reported yesterday,

(By Judge John w. Meeksl

Decoration day is on Sunday, May

in reverence all over our great coun-
try. 1t is day set apart and by an
unwritten law day that has become
universally recognized and reverenced.
This day should be by all of the
Southland held in reverence for it had
its inception in the Sunny South. A
few sweet ladies of Mississippi who
had suffered so much through the
Lost Cause" were the first to gather
n LOT Of weeping wives, mothers, daugh-
ters and sweethearts together down in
the land of the magnolia and initiated
this great work by spreading the most
beautiful flowers Of the Southland on
fhe graves of their friends and rela-
tives as well as some of the graves of
the fallen foe who had been sacrificed
by the horrors of war. The names Of
those ladies' should be embalmed in the
hearts Of all.
This idea has had a growth that has
become the wonder of the civilized
world. On that day-nOw May 30
millions annually wend their way to
the various cemeteries and continue
this act of love. 1t is doubtful If there
be a single graveyard in Randolph
county in which is not buried some OF
the gallant sons OF the South.
