Editor ASkOv American:
Now that our governors and repre-

ISOLATION are back from a warm con-
ference with Secretary Wallace of the
Department of Agriculture and the
President, being turned down flat, it
shows what attitude has been taken
toward the farmers. The farmers are
now convinced where they stand, so
far as relief from the administration
is concerned. "The farmer" Cover

the forgotten man; everybody else has
been here before him, the banker, the
insurance man, the railroad man, and
got all the money, there is nothing
left for the farmer" Just plenty of
work, and nothing in it, mortgages
and big taxes, and no way out of it.,
so there we have it, folks, just as
plain as the nose on your face, how
much the administration is trying to
help the farmer out of this depres-
sion. 1t seems to me where there
is will there is always way out.

OPERATING AND HOLDING
COMPANIES, ETC.

When profits are so large that
they do not look good in public
print they are covered up by the
means of holding companies and
other companies with fancy names
so as to leave the public in the
dark as much as possible. insult,
the former Chicago power mag
nate, and others of his type have
practiced that method of blind
folding the public so that their
huge profits should not be known.
The Nation carried an editorial
on what the Greeks may look for
from insult in the following lines:
The question often raised of whether
Samuel insult got away with any
considerable fortune seems to us pre-
sumptively answered by the decision
of the Greek Supreme Court, which
for the second time has refused the
extradition sought by the United
States. One recalls the technique of
the utility magnate with the former
chairman of the Illinois Commerce
Commission, as indeed with receptive
public officials everywhere who had
something that he wanted. In rem
derfng the verdict the presiding
justice prais tire defendants achieve
ments as a builder, and indicated his
hope that Mr.. insult might bestow
upon his second adopted land services
corresponding to those rendered in
the United States. Based on past
performances the Greek Capital may
therefore soon be blessed with a utili-
ty structure somewhat as follows
First will be formed the Athens Gas
and Electric Company to supply the
Athenian householder. The common
stock of this operating company will
be held by the Acropolis Arc Light
Company, a holding and operating
company likewise supplying illumina-
ton to the municipality. Its common
stock will be held by the Lacedaemcn
Light and Power Company, which in
turn will be controlled by the Hellas
Heat, Light, and Power Company
Above this will in due course be
placed the PelopOnnesus Power and
Light Company. At the pinnacle of
the pyramid will be IliOn-Insull Sc
curities, an investment trust which,
together with Olympus Offerings, Inc
finance corporation, will acquire,
hold, and trade in the securities of
the lesser companies below. Retri-
button has additionally been the CEN
trail theme in Greek drama and
Nemesis may be shaping the plot of
the tragi-comedy that began to unfold
when Greek met insult.

BIG BUSINESS CONTROL
DISCARDED

Gerard Swope of the General Elec-
trio Company, has revamped his prev
ious scheme for a big-business dicta-
torship of the country, says The Ma
tion. 'He would have the MIRA sur
render its functions and its power to
a super-organization of manufac-
turers and merchants. Never has a
more far-reaching plan for big-busi-
ness control of our economic life
been proposed" continues The Nation
editorial.
"The Swope plan of industrial self
government was first advanced in
September, 1881. 1t proposed in the
main that industry be allowed to work
out it's own problems through the or
ganization of Industrial or trade as
sociations. These associations were
to straighten out the many difficult
ties from free competition, which OBJ
viously would have meant the appor-
tionment of markets and the estab-
lishment of other monOpolistic prac-
I'VE are exceedingly happy to note
that President Roosevelt has taken
a firm stand against the Swope plan.
The Nation has had occasion in the
past to make specific criticism of
the MIRA. But as between the NRA
and the Swope scheme there can be
no hesitation. Under the former
there will always remain some hope
that the public through Congress can
exert some influence over the existing
Rooseveltian partnership be tw e n
government and business. Under the
latter there would be virtually no
public or social control.
"The Swope plan must be spiked
at once lest its proponents take adj
vantage of the present discomfort to
force it upon an unsuspecting coun-
try"

PRODUCTION SOLVED

If there was any one point brought
out more clearly than other points in
his address at Askov Sunday by the
English labor leader, Fred Henderson
it was that of the production problem
having been solved. He made it clear
that producers have done their part
and that there is plenty for everybody
the thing that is tagging being dis
tribution.
This point has been advanced many
times i'm these columns-that if the
producers-the farmers and laborers
had been paid in accordance with
their production there would be plenty
of buying power and no need for
stagnation. We would then not have
the surplus that we now hear so much
about. The machine owners and the
masters have taken too much for their
share, causing Capitalization OF
wealth and until that bubble is burst
ed there cannot be general Pre- sperity
and we'll being.
There may be much Sparring around
and evading of the question but the
cruX of the situation is the centrali-
cation of wealth. 1t centers about
that problem. 1t is the root of the
evil. But those who have the wealth
will continually try to give other rea-
sons for the situation.

original conception. The codes sought
for the larger basic industries were
essential. These industries were far
enough advanced to take codes. The
disparity between their production
volume and their working conditions

palling.
Difficulties came when they tried
to apply the same principle in blan-
ket form to every little crossroads

fellows were living from hand to
mouth on the verge Of bankruptcy.
"The dissatisfaction aroused by
this program obscured the real good
accomplished by the basic program.

we'll as the man in the street.
1.-THE credit drive is virtually an
official admission of it. They are
trying to save the little fellow by
feeding him credit to meet his In
creased costs.

MIRA a better deal than its critics
do now

FROM WHENCE COMES THE
MONEY!

The Princeton Union: III. L. Meme
ken in the November issue of The
American Mercury comments upon
stratiCn has displayed remarkable
agility and speed in many of its
moves. With the rapid trend of events
he refrains from making any prophe
cy in regard to the success of the
administrations recovery program.
The country may be saved, but he is
quite convinced that being saved is
going to run into a lot of money.
Many of us have been harbOring that
same thought, but the question that
perpleXes US is from whence will come
these billions of dollars that the gov
eminent is spending.
"We would have a much more COM
Portable feeling about the whole mat
ter If in so many cases relief funds
were not being dispensed with such a
careless and reckless hand. Federal
allotments for this and that relief pro-
ject are continually quoted in nine
and ten figures. We wish President
Roosevelt in his next radio address
would take the public into his conf
dence on this matter"
The above is from the pen of Miss
Grace A. Dunn, editor of The Prince
ton Union.
So far as we know, President Roose-
welt has been very frank in his state
ments and radio addresses concerning
the need of relief. There is no secret
about it, everybody knows that there
are still many unemployed who have
little other means of livelihood than
that given by the government and
charity.
Lack of orderly planning and ar
ranging for parity between pay to the
worker and producer and the amounts
produced has gotten us into this mess.
The few-the owners Of the machines
and mines-have gotten too much as
their share. Food and clothing have
been produced too abundantly for the
compensation to the producer-he now
being without buying powerful with
plenty of appetite and need for cloth
ing. The government is taking the
proper course, and that is to provide
for the unemployed producer and then
later take it out in taxes from those
who have the surplus. 1t is the sane
course and the only immediate remedy
at this time.
By the way, is Uncle Sam borrowing
any of the millions and billions needed
for relief from other countries? Is
the wealth not right here in the U.
S. A.?

FOR COOPERATIVE MARKET

Editor AskOv American:
AS long as the Government or
powers that be are DESTROYS of help
ing the farmer. why don't they try to
better or improve the selling and mar
keting Of the farmers livestock. When
you come into So. st. Paul stock yards
with load Of livestock you find many
firms and commission men who have
fixed charges. There are commits
sions for selling, there is yardage
when you unload, feed to pay, insur-
ance and inspection fees and even
the check tax. This all has to be
paid whether they sell your livestock
at once or in a longer period. They
may even take your stock that comes
in and sell it to some other dealer or
firm who pick out few here and
there and resell them again at another
commission or profit.
The stock yards company formerly
had capital of $4,000 shares of
500 each, $5,OOO,O0O. A few years
ago they increased the stock to 2OO,-
900 shares and had a capital of
100000 with surplus Of $4,000
900. They have been paying divi-
dends at the rate of from 1870 to
$3.50 per annum. That is pretty good
income considering what return the
farmer and stock raiser are getting
for his labor and efforts. No doubt,
the stock yards company charges
good price to the people and firms
who use the yards and sheds and do
business there and that may be one
of the reasons for all these charges.
Why couldn't there be developed
cooperative marketing, (not in name
only as some firms style themselves)
but in a strong and comprehensive or
ganization such as the Thousand
Lakes Creamery Association, Orange
Growers Association, or Minnesota
Wool Growers Association, W ere
their stock could be handled and mar
keted by the farmer or his agent in
their own organization to his best
advantage so as to get the best pos
sible price and know his returns are
1000 for the farmer.

A LITTLE ROUGH

Boxing Is sport on which many
differ as to its propriety. 1t is not
all brutal force, as some who never
witnessed boxing contest, are prone
to believe. There is skill and science
in the game. On the other hand it
is not an elevating sport, it does not
lead to greater or nobler thoughts.
and in most cases the health of pro-
fessional boxers, in the game for a
period of years, is greatly impaired.
If it isn't the eyes it is the ears-the
hearing-or something else. Leaving
the game of the manly art" as it is
sometimes called, at the age of 80
and in some cases a few years past,
then old and worn out, usually defeat
ed and relegated to the second and
third rate class, man of many bat
ties is really old long before his time.
The gruelling contests where skill,
strength, and endurance are put to the
supreme test, sap the vitality of the
performer in time and he is an old
man when he retires from the game,
especially if in it long enough to take
several defeats. In more recent years
some of the top notchers have been
smart enough to retire while at their
best and walk away with the money.
Tunney is an example.
The skill, science, and excitement
draw many fans to boxing contests.
But what was desired principally
to bring out in this article was the
utterance of Pope Plus the other day,
when in a speech. interpreted as
criticizing the attendance of women
at boxing matches, he mentioned the
tendency shown by many modern
women to admire spectacles OF brutal
violence
The speech was during ceremony
clearing the way for canonization OF
Luisa de Marillac, co-founder of the
Society of the Daughters of Charity.
The pope compared her gentle char
acter with tendencies among modern
women, mot in keeping with the SEN
timents of human dignity and purity
instilled by Christian teachings"
At boxing exhibitions, he added, it
is not possible to preserve the dig
nifty and grace peculiar to women"

DOUBT ABOUT THE DOLLAR
(The Minneapolis Tribune)

The American paper dollar is now
barred by the 10000 postoffices in the
Canadian dominions. An order issued
from Ottawa on Saturday made that
rule effective. The American dollar,
once sought after by Canadians, has
now become an article to be suspected
While Ottawa's decision is only nat
ural in the light of events in this
country, and while it is perhaps of
little immediate significance to Amer
leans, it is a sharp indication of what
is happening. On every leading mar
ket in the world the value of the dol
lar is now matter of doubt because
of deliberate policy of depreciation
being carried on in this country.
More significant to Americans, how
ever, is another Indication of this
same doubt that has begun to show
itself in this country. For several
days quotations on American govern
ment securities have been adversely
affected by the trend in events. In
vestors have begun to market what
has always been considered the best
security in the world. The program
of federal refinancing begun little
more than a month ago has also been
retarded. The flow of the called
Fourth Liberties began to show some
signs of slowing up when the gold
purchase plans were announced. One
has to go back to Civil war days to
find another instance when home in
vestors questioned the credit of their
country. Even the reputation of the
gold clause last spring left them I'M
moved.
These facts may pOrtend nothing, or
they may be taken as the forewarning
of more serious problems yet to be
faced, depending largely on the point
of view from which they are regarded.
The orthodox economist will accept
them as an indication of initiation.
Since the country is not in the diff
culties in which it found itself last
March, and there is no lack of money,
the only explanation of these reactions
is to be found in the uncertainty and
the doubt that surround the future
value of the dollar. While these doubts
can continue to exist for time without
causing serious consequences, it would
seem important that in the not far
distant future there should be some
declaration from Washington that
would clarity the situation. Doubt
and uncertainty do not make conf
dence.

THE SAFE DRIVERS CODE
(The Montgomery Messenger)

(The Montgomery MeSSenger)
There is one badly needed code
which will not have to await an Of
fetal signature. 1t affects every per-
son in the country, and its adoption
should be unanimous. 1t is '"The
Safe Drivers Code"
Accident statistics reported to June
80, 1888: according to the National
Bureau of Casualty and Surety I'm
derwriters, showed that 1920 persons
had been killed by automobiles this
year. The indications Judging from
unofficial reports in July and August,
are that final results may show a de-
cided increase in deaths and accidents
for 1888. This is doubly significant,
because there are nearly ten per cent
fewer automobiles registered in the
United States this year than in 1881.
To motorists, and to pedestrians and
all users of our streets and highways,
the following code is directed:
1. Regulate your speed to fit traf-
fic conditions; keep your car under
control at all times.
