This Can Not Be Delayed
seRfpSJ-nowAAD

The house of representatives had adopted COM
promise relief bill not particularly satisfactory to
any one violently opposed by many 1t will be killed
either by the senate or by the President.
The work of getting tangible, practical relief to
the people who need it must start again at the be-
ginning.
This yne politics should be left out of the discus
sion. Success in political campaign is important
to great many people, but it is far important
that citizens be saved from suffering and that the
country be saved from the wrath OF men made des-
perate by want
1t is important, first, that adequate funds be pro-
vded to assure for all WHO may be in need Some
weeks ago the senate passed emergency hunger
relief BILL separating this fund from the controversial
provisions of the present measure which are intended
to lessen unemployment
Speaker Garner prevented passage of this emer-
gency BILL forcing it to travel the slow, troublesome
path of the other relief provisions.
Without delay both houses should make money
available to the states for this purpose They should
be very sure that the amount is sufficient to meet
all needs.
In his proposal that the government take over the
function heretofore performed by hanks, and loan
to private business firms and to individuals Speaker
Garner has raised fundamental economic question
1t has been debated adequately in either house
of congress in the committees of either house.
1t is not enough for Garner and his friends to
say in its defense that help must be given the little
fellow as we'll the big industries top. Nor is
it enough for the President to say in opposition that
the proposal would lead the government into pawn
broking a gigantic scale.
Most of will agree with the purpose announced
by Garner On the other hand, most of us want to
be shown that the Garner plan actually will bring
benefit to at the bottom of the economic scale,
that it will do something to increase the purchasing
power of the country rather than simply increase
further or maintain the producing power.
A study of the problem should have been started
months ago. The lateness of the day is added
son why it should be undertaken at once
Committees of senate and house, joint
partisan committee of both houses, should review
the whole problem at once with expert assistance.
They should consider at the time the inter-
esting proposal OF the railroad brotherhoods, spon-
sored by Senator Costigan and Representative La
Guardia for putting government credit behind needy
consumers
Such study should not take long Congress
should wait in washington until it is completed and
should then at last to grips with the problem
the problem of creating work for those who have
none and restoring the general purchasing power
as the first essential toward making industry func
ton normally.
But in the matter of direct relief to prevent suffer-
ing there is no excuse for any delay Such bill
should be passed, separately, at once.
To hold it back for political advantage is little
short of criminal.

Back to Peasantry?

MANY tears have been shed in our fair land over
the sad fate Of the Russian Kulaks We have worked
ourselves up into white heat over the conascation
of Russian farm lands by the state.
But we conveniently have overlooked the fact that
worse conditions exist among many American farmers
than among the bulk of the Russian peasantry.
The Russian state at least assumes the obligation
of looking after the rural population and protecting
il from starvation. In our country, foreclosure
matches Russian confscation in extent, while its
victims are left to suffer by themselves according to
the canons of rugged individualism.
One of the best statements of the plight of the
American farmers yet published is contained in an
article by Walter Liggett in the American Mercury.
Lggett is trained journalist and an expert of long
standing on western farm problems
He presents some rather astonishing facts rela-
tive to the degree of incumbrance of our farms.
Forty years ago no farms were mortgaged in Okla
hona; today so per cent are mortgaged. Iowa the
richest agricultural in the Union has IS per
cent of its farms mortgaged for total of ooO
since 1900 total of $4,000 farms have been taken
over by foreclosure. In North Dakota than a
third Of the farms operated by tenants, and Of
those operated by owners 81 per cent are
mortgaged.
Moving to the eastward edge of the great western
farming area we find Illinois with A per cent of its
farm land mortgaged for some s4oo0oo0OQ The
story is much the same from Oklahoma TO Illinois.
Prices of farm products down to an incredible
degree The spokesman for the Colorado Farmers
Unions declared that there is not farm COM
modify today that is selling at the cost of production
The wealth created in all agricultural states of
this nation will not pay the interest charges and tax
bills Of this last year"
IN some areas there has been reversion to a
barter economy in some sections farmers driv-

A Good Platform, But

Tirnid souls in congress have advanced another ex-
cuse for delaying modification of the Volstead act
The eighteenth amendment, they argue, prohibits
manufacture sale and transportation of intoxicating
beverages. Thus, until this amendment is repealed
they say, egalization of 275 per cent beer 80 per
cent beer per cent beer might be in violation of
the Constitution.
At what point they ask, does beer become intoxi-
catingP They evidently are insisting on categorical
answer before voting their support of the Demo-
cratic platform They have heard the testimony OF
qualified experts concerning the Intoxicating quail
ties of beer Of vrious alcoholic content but they de-
mand more words from experts.
Their high regard for the Constitution might be
commendabe were it not obvious that they only are
angling for time.
Must they personally test the intoxicating nom
Intoxicating qualities of 275 80 and per cent beer
before they are willing to vote?
The real resistance is coming from Democrats Is
this an indication of the manner in which they will
carry out the -other promises of their wel-written
platform?

Just Every Day Sense
RY MRS. MALTER FERGUSON

livery x-burdened citizen-and that exempts no
T. man or woman--felt an instant of encourage
ment at President Hoovers proposal for drastic ara-
ment reductions. Whether this specific plan comes
to anything or not, at least it opens the way Tor
future efforts.
Armament costs must be reduced or civilization
is doomed And what nation is situated Eore adj
vantageously to make reductions than ours? Who are
the people who should lead the way to peace9 We
are.
The informed individual who is brave enough to
speak his honest convictions will admit that the
United States is not any real danger of attack from
foreign powers. We know that we never shall be in
such danger if fair in our dealings with the
world.
We never have in the whole of our existence
been on the actual defensive If we want peace we
will have it in spite of all the alarms by the military
brigade.
And it is ridiculous for us to insist that must
be as well gunned as France, for instance, who sits
amid her ancient enemies like hare within circle
of hounds. We guarded on the east by the At
lantic and on the west by the Pacific.
NUR danger lies within our own boundaries. Do you
~ realize that we have an army of unemployed to-
day that is three times large as our World war
army? Is it not horrible that while the ranks of our
jobless, hungry, and homeless increase, We
pour out floods of gold for bateships, and all
the cruel accoutrements of war?
This very year, while many of our ex-soldiers are
starving to death congress has appropriated large
sums for summer military camps where well-fed boys
will go through their silly drills and for the r. O. T. c.
which is sort OF sissyed napperish adjunct to our
national army. and which few taxpayers want.
America viii have on her hands but not with
an alien enemy 1t will be with the jngosts at home
And We are of TO magnificent start. While the
rest OF us have taken from 10 to 100 per cent cut
In salaries, the military gentlemen gracefully have
yielded to q per cent reduction. That's lowering
armament costs for you'll
