last Fall stated clearly and unequivo-
cally his opposition to the principle of
the equalization fee as well as to the
principle Of the debenture plan" So
much, In the opinion Of Gov. Lowden,
for the attack made upon President
Hoover in the Senate within the last
few days by Senators Brookhart of
Iowa, Frazier of North Dakota and the
Democrats, in which it was charged
that Mr.. Hoover promised one thing
during the campaign and is now seeking
another.
Gov Lowden knows what he is talk
ing about. He declined to permit his
name to be offered as candidate for
the presidential nomination at Kansas
City last June, after the convention had
adopted the farm plank Of the Repub-
lican national platform. He realized
that the Republican party had turned
its back squarely upon the equalization
fee principle and the principle of the
debenture plan. He Is quite clear that
the President never promised anything
to the farmers beyond that platform.
The debenture plan is supported by
those who honestly believe in it. 1t is
also by those who believe
that to oppose 1t would make enemies
of the National Grange. 1t Is supported
by third group willing to take a sport
ing chance on anything which is OPP
posed by the administration, in the
hope that If the administrators pro-
gram of farm relief does not measure
up they will be remembered kindly by
the voters in the agricultural States
next year. It is clear to any one that
If the debenture plan were given support
only by the first class it would not now
be real issue in the consideration Of
the farm bill in the Senate.
Possibly the Democrats and Senator
Norris believe they received mandate
from the people at the last election to
draft a farm relief program. The people,
however, will look at the situation as
does Mr.. Lowden.

Lowden Supports Hoover.

President Hoover, not the Democrats
nor Senator George Norris Of Nebraska,
was authorized TO proceed with farm
relief program in the last general cleo
ton. and in view of that authorization
Congress should back up the President.
This is the view expressed by former
Gov. Frank 0. Lowden Of Illinois, hailed
far and wide as the friend OF the farm
or, supporter Of the equalization fee
plan and a candidate at one time for
the presidential nomination, standing
on platform Of farm relief opposite to
that Of Mr. Hoover It Is a sound view.
Perhaps all the sounder because Mr..
Lowden is detached from the great
game Of politics as II is played in wash
ington
1T becomes the duty" said Mr.
Low6en, referring TO the President
farm relief program, OF all sincere
friends of farm relief TO cooperate with
the administration in giving effect to

Sincere friends of farm relief" will
agree with the former Governor OF IL
linois. Those who love farm relief fo,
the political gain which they may reap
from IL, doubtless will disagree Mr..
Lowden with great good sense pointed
out that If later 1t should appear that
the Hoover program was inadequate, the
way was open for further action by
Congress. Indeed. he pointed out,
President Hoover had said as much in
his message 10 Congress. Gov. Lowden

Of doleful memory, and after that the
November deluge.
As Greater New York's returns on
election night evidenced from hour to
hour the city's failure to roll up its
usual Smith majority" politicians were
prompt to discern the cause. It was
their unhesitating opinion that the
governor had been knitted in the house
Of his supposed friends. Tammany for
the first time on record had gone back
on cal" Unable to meet the gigantic
flood of Hoover votes from upstate
with an annihilating Smith majority
this side of the Bronx, the Democratic
nominees doom was sealed.
Events in Tammany Hall this week
seem to indicate that the wind which
the governors scornful managers and
advisers sowed in 1928 has resulted in
the reaping of the inevitable whirlwind
in 1929. The election of John F. Curry
as the new leader of Tammany ensued
in the teeth of Smiths outspoken OPP
position. "Al" has now been repudiated
by his political cronies Of a lifetime as
decisively as he was rejected at the polls
by the national electorate. If there we're
any doubt as to the completeness Of the
governors debacle, it would be dispelled
by the language In which his chief New
York newspaper supporter, the World,
laments his defeat.
Tammany has made it's choice, says
the World, and its choice is an 'insider"
rather than an outsider; a district
leader rather than statesman; the
counsel Of Mayor Walker rather than
the counsel of Gov. Smith. 1t is impos-
sible to escape the sharpness Of this
decision. There is no use In blinking
at the facts. At least for the moment
AL Smith has been repudiated by the
organization he refurbished, almost
single -handedly. Mayor Walker rules
the roost. and Tammany, suffering from
a bad case of overconf1dence, is about to
see what 1t can do without the service
of "reformers," "interlopers, "high-hat-
tiers" and outsiders" 1t is well within
the realm of possibilities that AL Smith
some day may use the now undisguised
enmity of Tammany Hall to rehabilitate
the fortunes which its reputed disloyalty
In 1928 helped to shatter. At the recent
Jefferson day dinner Of National Demo-
Gratis in New York City Gov. Smith was
cheered to the echo and hailed as the
still outstanding figure in his party.
The. tiger has clawed him, but 1t
would be decidedly premature to pre-
dict that it has scratched Gov. Smith
out of political existence.

SHOOTING STARS.
By PHuANpER JOHNSON.

The Thermometer.
The thermometer stands in the same
old place
Where in Summer the vines bend low
with grace,
And in Winter the wind sweeps harsh
ly by,
Or the snowfiakes drift from sullen
sky.
It measures the heat or it marks the
cold,
Where the blossoms die and the buds
unfold.
Severe and silent it holds its place,
Where the flowers have faded and left
no trace.
1t sees them come and 1t sees them 60,
The trembling bloom and the drifting
snow.
1t keeps the record from day to day,
With never a share in the grief or play.
oh, Is it better to stand secure,
And note unmoyed what the rest en-
dure,
Or better to answer the suns warm
thrill,
And faint and die in the Winters
chill?

The Governor and the Tiger.

When Gov. Smith, year ago
was seeking the support of Democrats
for their impending presidential nomina-
ton. his friends were profuse In the as
surance that the Smith candidacy was
in no sense a Tammany candidacy.
All along the line, and especially dur
ing the State primary campaigns, the
Tammany note was assiduously soft
pedaled. The black and yellow Of the
tiger, Gov. Smiths supporters guaran-
teed, were not and would never become
AIS" colors. AS the time approached
to make up the New York delegation
to Houston it was SYSTEMATICALLY pro-
claimed that it would be a thoroughly

The School Budget,

The community is proud of Board
Of Education that is Jealous in its de-
termination to see that the schools re-
ceive an adequate proportion Of the fund
allotted in the District budgets. 1t is
thoroughly in sympathy with the board S
contention that some of the pressing
needs of the schools have gone unmet
And now that it has been clearly demon
preparing the Districts budget cannot
legally be countenanced, the community
believes that the Board Of Education
will make every effort to cooperate with
the Commissioners to the end that the
District budget will represent not only
the schools, which is only one important
institution of the municipal government,
but the other agencies of the District
government as well.
Under the budget system the Com
missioners, representing this commu-
nifty, are compelled to use their best
Judgment and discretion in submitting
to the Bureau of the Budget what they
conceive to be list Of items covering
the outstanding needs Of the city and
confined to the total sum that will be
available for expenditure. The Commits
sioners have wisely left to the heads Of
the various departments Of the city gov
eminent the task of compiling, and
then trimming, the estimates of their
various needs. Reaching the Budget
Bureau these estimates usually are
forced to undergo further cutting, and
here the Budget Bureau enters the pic
ture as an agency that can not only
order reductions in estimates. but can
designate the nature of the reductions
The Budget Bureau conducts hearings,
with the heads Of the various depart
ments and the Commissioners on the
stand testifying in defense Of their esti-
mates. With those who so testify are
the school officials and members Of the
Board Of Education. Hearings before
the subcommittee on appropriations In
the House and the Senate permit of a
third and fourth opportunity, on the
part Of departmental heads, to explain
the nature Of the items they have had
included in the budget.
It is obvious that the budget pro-
cedure cannot be attacked on the
ground that it denies, TO those affected,
the opportunity Of defending and cham
piening their needs.
Mr. Simmons has wisely declined the
Board Of Education's invitation to take
part - the preparation Of the school
estimates before they reach the Com
missioners. The extension Of such q
principle could only make for confusion
and would eventually become the source
Of harmful embarrassment to the Com
missioners. Or. carusi does not accept
this declination as the signal for further
controversy. He believes that he has
succeeded in emphasizing the Board of
Educstions viewpoint. The schools and
the community as whole will best be
served now by continued cooperation
on the part OF the board and the Com
&missioners in preparing, to the best of
their ability, budget that under the
existing and faulty system Of financing
the Capital represents Its outstanding
needs.
