SMALL TOWN rs NECESSARY

Two things have come out of the
depression that are worth noting The
large centers of population have discov-
cred that they cannot get along with
out the country. The small communi-
ties have discovered, that they can
make their own life without much
worrying concerning large cities For
long it was . habit of big cities to
display airs Of superiority TO the So
called rural communities They have
pretended to believe that the sman
town was passing into eclipse, and
that people would flock to big cities
and make them more and more i'm
nortant and influential And. also, a
lot Of country" people, lured by the
glamour of the cities. have left the
countryside. They have discovered
manv Of them too late, that life in the
small communities has a thousand
advantages not possessed by large cen
tiers, and that the mushroom deve1-
opment Of big cities has been a bad.
not a good thing. Today the small
CITY is taking on a new dignity and
individuality. We see everywhere the
proof that the small community is real
izing its possibilities, forgetting to ape
the manners Of the more artificial
"centers of population" and attending
enthusiastically to the duty of build
ing destiny for itself AS the small
community becomes strengthened, and
as the farm community becomes more
independent the large city will pros
per too. What we need in America
is vitality Of individual effort and this
is what the small city will give in
the next generation as it did in the
past. The disillusioned folk who
thought that the bright lights were
what made life worth while, will be
drifting back to the country, eager
to capture once again the peace. the
sincerity. the integrity. the gladness
that abides where neiqhborlv conrade-
ship is possible. Herald, Slayton,

great need Of lifting agriculture out Of
the morass in which it has been

good many questions arise in the
mind. Thus to control. and in sense
direct, virtually all the farms of the
country from Washington would neces-
state a nationwide state and county
organization Of unprecedented pro-
portions. Is that feasible? What would
be done with the surplus of production
above domestic needs? Only about
half Of our cotton production, for ex-
ample, is used in this country. How
could the benefit be apportioned2 What
would be the effect OF the plan upon
the general market? Apparently it is
not proposed to apply the plan to all
agricultural products. How about the
farmer who raises crops not thus pre-
tected? We are unable yet to express
any definite opinion about this pro-
posal. All we can say now is that we
profoundly sympathize with any eff
fort to benefit the farmer that is prac-
ticable and sound. We are not quite
sure that this is one or the other.

st. Louis Globe Democrat II seems
highly probable at this time that what
is called the allotment plan will be
klost favored by congress when it
comes to the question of farm relief
This is new plan, developed in the
last year or SO, and apparently is an
outgroWth of the equalization scheme
which has had strong support from
farm leaders, but it is nevertheless
quite different and has some features
that make it decidedly more attractive
1t seems to be understood that the al
lotment plan is what Governor Roose-
welt had in mind when he made his
Topeka speech andk therefore, it is
assumed that he approves it, at least
in principle. Moreover. it is this plan
which Henry l. Hartman, president
of the United States Chamber OF Com
merce, is advocating, which appears to
give it a business sanction that has
been lacking in previous schemes for
agricultural relief
There are a number Of versions of
the allotment plan, but the Hartman
version may be regarded as typical.
1t would require the secretary of agri-
culture to determine each year the
amount needed for domestic consump-
ton of each of number OF specified
crops and then to allocate to each
farmer throughout the country who
agreed to accept the restriction the
acreage he may plant to such prod
uct Then the government would levy
a tax on the professors of such prod
ucts, the millers in the case of wheat,
the cotton goods manufacturers in the
case Of cotton, the tobacco manufac-
! turers in the case of tobacco, sufficient
to return to the farmers an amount in
money that will restore the purchas-
ing power of his product to its pre-
war value in general commodities. In
other words, the idea is that the gov
eminent will collect from the process
sors the difference between the cur
rent market price and the pre-war
price Of the commodity. The farmer
would be further required to agree to
a gradual reduction of acreage until
production is balanced to demand and
the market price Of the product is re-
stored to the pre-war purchasing
power in other products.
Obviously the professors would pass
the tax on to the consumers and the
plan would result in the consumer,
of the country supplying the money
i which would be distributed by tbs
government to the farmers II would

THESE MEN DESERVE A PAT ON
THE BACK.

There was cause for qualification III
the action taken by the Northwest
Mining association, In convention IN
Spokane last week, when it defeated
a resolution calling on the recon-
struction finance corporation to fur
nish funds for gold mining. The OPP
ponents of the resolution said it would
increase the already tremendous array
of federal officeholders and that the
machinery for such loans would be
unavoidable in view of the hazards
Of gold mining.
In these days when it is SO popular
to rush to the government to help US
out of every passing difficulty, it IS
gratifying to know that there is still
a body of men in this great Northwest
of ours who have enough independence
of spirit and whose judgment is sound
enough SO that they refuse to call upon
government funds to help them IN
purely personal business venture. In
that action we imagine, at least, that
we see manifestation OF that
determination of character and in
dependence of spirit that was so po-
tent in developing our great frontier
and that has made America what IT is.
A recent writer in one of our ma
tional weeklies regrets the fact that
there is today such a ready willingness
to rely upon the national government
to help us solve our problem and to
supply funds for our every need. He
recited incidents from U. S. history,
citing former depressions and telling
how the American people met the stu
alton in those days. In the panic OF
1893, the banks of the nation found
themselves in perilous straits, hun
dreds OF them were failing and COM
ditions demanded drastic action. Did
they turn to the government for help
Such a thought never entered their
heads. Instead the leading bankers of
the nation evolved plan of their own
that solved the difficulty and saved
the day. In the same way, the rail-
roads and every other industry re-
lied on their own efforts in those times
of great distress, said this writer. He
deplored the altogether too preva-
lent tendency to turn to the govern
ment for help in these days at the aris-
ing of every adverse wind. This wind
is blowing something important out Of
American character" he says.
Speaking Of the widespread unem-
ployment and financial wreckage of the
1887 period, he says.
"All that was rather less than forty
years ago by the calendar, but was
ages ago when measured by change in
the relationship between government
and people in the United States. To
check up what government did in that
big depression and what it has done
in this one is to get diagram of the
revolution that has occurred in the re-
lations Of people and government
Formerly in time Of stress it was the
duty Of the children not only to help
themselves but to help grandfather
Now, with one accord, they lie on
their backs and shout for grandfather
to come over and help them. Conse-

lands second administration was I

Washington.-Emmanuel Celler,
who IS neither a magician nor the
son of a magician, bur a Congress
mar from New York, produced
highballs-and in bottles-before
rhe House ways and means COM
mittee.
He drew five of them from a
suitcase and calmly ranged them
on an improvised bar before the as.
tonished eyes of the committee. A
sraft of sunlight tickled thu be.
verage to a tempting glow.
Some in the committee licked
their lips, and prepared for anoth-
er shock. 1t came.
Mr.. Celler disclosed that the
"bottled highballs" were made up
bf the Federal Prohibition Bureau
10 parts ginger ale and n part
whiskey. He displayed "a permit
signed by DR.. James M. Doran, in
dustrial alcohol commissioner,
chemist extraordinary, and former
federal prohibition director, auth
orizing him to transport" the IL
quor.
Mr.. Celler employed his proper
ties" to drive home his argument
that his highballs, ranging from 9
to IA per cent alcoholic content,
are no more Intoxicating than
the wine which is authorized in
the Collier bill before the commit
tee, and therefore should be legal
lied.
He used an assortment of figures
in attempting to prove Americans
are a hard drinking race, but that
80 per cent of them mix their
drinks with something else.
Celler had more figures to show
that the bottled highball" would
produce S60o,ooo,ooo annually in
good dollars for the American
Treasury, nearly three times as
much he said, as would both beer
and wine.
There were 164 100000 gal
Ions of %spirituous liquors consum-
ed last year," he shouted.
No n challenged the bootleg
flood.
Mr.. Celler then proved himself
a gentleman of ideas. This high
ball connection, he said, should be
taken with meals-to carry out the
theory Of Professor Henderson that
a moderate amount Of liquor 81
taken, would not cause intoxica-
tlon.
Gentlemen, put a provision in
your law to compel people to drink
these highballs- with their meals
Mr.. Celler pleaded.
