bewails is only the working out Of the

whereby love breeds love. hate breeds
hate. and violence breeds violence"

Politics and Farm Relief.

Politics takes precedence over farm
relief" said Senator Wagner of New
York during the debate of the farm bill
in the Senate. The New York Senator
was gently Gliding Republicans from
farm States CT the West for favoring
the old McNary- Haugen bill last Spring
and running to the support of President
Hoover in the campaign last Fall.
The New Yorker, in the vernacular,
said a mouthful." Politics has played
hob with farm-relief legislation for
years. Nor has it ceased in the Senate
of the United States today. His co..
league, Senator Copeland, announced he
would hold his nose" and vote for the
so-called export debsnture plan, with
the Norris amendment. Senator Cope
land not many days ago was dead set
against the debenture plan, and ap-
parently even today he is not en-
amoured Of the proposal. But the
Democrats have undertaken to line up
for the plan, a plan to which President
Hoover has announced his opposition.
SO, good Democrats, whether they be-
lieve in the debenture-Which is in
reality a Government subsidy-or net,
are now called upon to support the de-
benture. Put the President in hole
with the aid Of few recalcitrant Re-
publicans-is the tactics of the Demo-
cratic leadership. Further, the Demo-
Gratis are gambling on the chance that
the Hoover farm-aid plan is not going
to aid the farmers as they wish 10 be
aided. II that should be the case, then
the Democrats will point with pride TO
the vote for the debenture plan, ard
call attention to the opposition Of the
Republican administration. Senator
Wagner was right; politics takes pre-
cedence over farm relief"
Senator Wagner, judging from his adj
dress in the Senate, is not able to stom-
ach the debenture plan, to which Mr.
Copeland has succumbed finally. MI
Wagner preferred ~ or1er a substitute
bill Of his own which omits the deben-
ture, but provides for the establishment
of a single sterilization corporation, t.
be ownsd and operated by the Govern
ment. The Senate bill provides for I
number of such corporations to b
owned and operated by the farmers
some of them by co-operatives. Mr.
Wagner admits that his substitute vii
be open to the charge that it puts tn
Government into the business OF deal
ing in farm produce. but declares tina

it will be effective, whereas the plan of
the Senate bill will be ineffective.
In his discussion of the debenture
plan, Mr. Wagner insists that the So
called Norris amendment, which would
lower or wipe out the debenture sub
sidy in the event OF great production.
made the plan worse. II anything. The
two Democratic New York Senators
seemingly do not reason alike. Mr..
Wagner's argument however, appears
sound. He points out that the dcben-
lures, according to the report of the
Senate committee, are to be issued when
there is surplus. an overproduction of
certain crop. With the Norris amend
mcnt it is proposed to shut off the de-
bentureS in measure to the amount of
overproduction. There must be some
misunderstanding somewhere" was Mr..
Wagner's comment upon this effort 20
make the cart go two ways at once. He
Gays frankly he has no evidence in his
possession that the farmers desire the
debenture and that there is nothing to
justify the belief that it would help tho
farmers. The proposed bounty is pay
abe in form of currency donominated
export debentures.
If we are going to pay the farmers
a bounty, why print new currency?"
Senator Wagner asks pertinently.
What is wrong with the old currency?
What conceivable advantage does the
debenture possess except to compel the
farmer to accept a discount on the
bCunty?"

The Mellon Case.

During the recent agitation over the
| eligibility of Secretary Andrew w Mel
| Ion to head the Treasury Department,
owing to the fact he continued to hold
stock in industrial corporations, little
has been said hitherto as to the course
which former Secretaries of the Treas
ury pursued with regard to their stock
holdings. 1t now appears that Senator
Carter Glass of Virginia, Secretary of
the Treasury in the Wilson administra-
! ton, continued to own stock while he
was Secretary, and that many other for
r1er Secretaries of the Treasury did the
same thing. Mr.. Glass, as did Mr.. Mel
Ion, sold his bank stock when he entered
the Treasury Department. He frankly
admits, however. that he continued TO
be the largest individual stakeholder IN
an industry in his own State.
1t is quite true that because former
Secretaries of the Treasury have owned
stock in industrial corporations does
not necessarily legalize that course I'M
der the old law to which enemies of Mr..
Mellon have resorted in their attempt
to unhorse him. But it will have its eff
feet when the vote is taken in the Sem
ate judiciary committee and in the
Senate, if the matter reaches a vote in
that body. Reports on former heads of
the Treasury Department show that
William G. McAdoo and David S. Hous-
ton, both of whom served during the
Wilson administrator did not feel con-
strained to give up stock ownership
while in Office, and that they did own
stock. The same course was pursued by
George B. Cortelyou in the Roosevelt
administration and Franklin MacVeagn
in the administration of President Taft.
Debate in the Senate committee over
the eligibility of Mr.. Mellon to hold Of
flee runs on, apparently, like the brook.
The members of the committee have
discussed the matter for days and days.
Recently the discussion has turned
largely on the question whether the
committee should undertake to investi-
gate Mr. Mellon, calling him and other
witnesses before it, or whether the COM
mittee shall simply construe the law as
it affects a Secretary of the Treasury
and report back to the Senate. Some of
the members of the committee desire
to bring Mr.. Mellon before it and hold
an open investigation. But majority
If tho coy,,y,oittea T,oeroherS IL iS poW
reported, are opposed to that procedure.
One reason advanced for the delay in
settling Mr.. Melons case is the desire
to have the farm bill disposed of before
a report on Mr.. Mellon is completed by
the committee and submitted to the
Senate 1t is likely to lead to much
debate, and that might postpone action
on the farm bill However, in fairness
to Mr.. Mellon, a prompt disposition Of
the case should be made.
If the committee and the Senate
should find that Mr.. Mellon held office
in violation of the law, because he con-
tinues to own stock in industrial con-
Germs, and action should be taken to
GUST him in the courts, it would be no
mere matter Of eligibility. 1t would be
in reality a penal offense punishable by
dismissal from office and a fine of
$4,000. That a ma jority of the Senate
would wish to put the Secretary of the
Treasury in such position does not
appear possible.

which is almost pure history. For some
