Farm Prices and Economies.
(Boston News Bureau)

Secretary Wallace one of the pair of shock troopers who have been touring the hnterland ln an offensive defensive has twice set forth at Des Moines and at Chicago the larger campaign strat- egy of the Administration farm program. It will evoke both agreement and disagreement as to matter and manner.
 Even the old-time orthodox economist would endorse many of the statements made in his Des Moines speech He rejected the Governors price fixing scheme because it paid no regard to the consumers liability to pay; he dismissed compulsory control of production and marketing as subversive of democracy he condemned the hell-ralslnS utilities of the farm-holiday movement, on the unassaable ground that violence can solve no prob lems and he insisted that imitation alone will not assure recovery.
 On the positive side the Secretary paid due respect to the economics of demand and supply. At Chicago he reiterated the stern need Of reducing the latter. He can find no magic wand for raising the price of farm products. There is only one way to that end he asserted and that way lies through realism which will adjust production to the market that actually is, not to the market of our hopes and dreams
 All this is strictly orthodox economies But there are two features of MT Waace's address that open up vistas of economic adventure which od-tlmers might face with doubt One is the fexbillty of the recovery program. There is the large difficulty of remaking the checkerboard of farm acreage in the future Referring the steps already taken the Secretary said that if further action is needed the President will doubtless take it. The other was the declared purpose to increase the foreign market for farm products
 International trade was essential to prosperity in pre-war days But one may well ask whether the sale of Americas agricultural surplus in foreign markets is consistent with the realities of economic natonalism as it now exists in Europe and as it is implied in the protective isolation called for by the Administrations prce-raising plan.

Wanton Brutality.

For wanton brutality nothing since the Lind lbergh case compares with the confessed revelations
 of the kidnapers and killers of young Brooke Hart lof San Jose. Others engaged in Kidnapping have done badly enough but most of them have stopped lshort of murder. If there ever incentive to justify lynch law it given in the Hart case;
 but fortunately the authorities and the courts every where may now be trusted for promptness and deficiency in crime of this kind. Nothing less than lspeedy inflicton of the extreme penalty be lexpected.

THE SALOON QUESTION.

The saloon question is again to the fore Beior National Prohibition, the saloon was toleraIeo every State which permitted the sale of nquor m instance was serious attempt made to elimlnat the saloon save by doing away with the legal Tall in liquor entirely Now we find that no Stao of the Union intends to allow the saloon to return Everywhere public opinion rejects 1t. Though th States have many distinct plans for handling tn liouor problem, they unanimous in their oeterm ination to outlaw the oldtime saloon
 Apropos to this question: the Cincinnati Enquire asks: "Just What Is a Saloon?" Its common follows:
 Until that question is answered accurately it will be difficult to frame laws WHICH preclude its return. saloon IS place where beer or whiskey or more often botn, are dispensed over counter or at taples. But this definition might be appheo Vo very exclusive hotel dining room, althougn it is not saloon. In the same way almost any restaurant serving beer or spirits might be considered a saloon. Clearly, this IS not what public opinion means in demanding the outlawng of the saloon
 Probably the real test of saloon IS US atmosphere. It is not only place where liquor is served, but a place where the serving of liquor is virtually the sole pusi- ness In the past it was screened rom the street and featured a long bar Will ,episation against bars and screens and back rooms prevent the return of the saloon? Or will restaurants become saloons in spite of limitations on their physcai equipment?
 Doubtless we shall have to follow the trial and error method, before liquor control system is devised that fulfills the requirements of public opinion But few things are now clear. First, the sale o1 hard liquor in packages to drink oil the premises will not bring back the saloon. Second hotel dining rooms and restaurants will not turn into saloons if they are wisely managed and if an effective control mechan- ism revokes licenses to enforce its regua- tions. Third, it is quite safe to concuoe that the sale of beer and wines only Tor on-premises consumption will not bring back the saloon.
 From these considerations, it may be reasone that the surest means of preventing return of tn saloon is through State monopoly to sell har liquors in packages at dispensares for liquor store If this alternative is not adopted it means tha a commission of able will have to be create to enforce licensing provisions of the law.

HOW NNORSEP|CK
Up j. s. LINGO

Wanderlist inherited from the
Vikings of old enabled the Nor
wegian governor of the little
Island of Kragero to greet Jimmy
Mattern with an American slang
expression when the American
flier landed there after his con-
quest of the Atlantic, DR.. Halvard
Bachke, Norwegian minister, told
International News Service today.
Commenting on the fact that M.
Viborg, director general of the
island, greeted Matern with "Oh,
yeah," when the flier told him he
had flown the Atlantic, Bachke
said
"The director general prob
ably thought that was the greet
ing you Americans would have
given flier who came out of
the skies and landed along your
coast with the announcement
that he had just flown the At
lantic.
american flying expressions
are prevalent in Norway, due to
the fact that our people are
great travellers. They like to
travel to the United States espe-
cially. Of course, the American
movies bring American flying ex-
preSSiOnS, but rather believe vi
bOrg'S greeting was due to the
fact that he had travelled in this
country"

"Unless he had favorable tail
winds ne would not try to reach

would not have taken him that
far.
II am very happy, but J. will

.dttern Hears
oh, Yeah of
Morse Doubt

OSLO, June S GN.S0.-Two
words of American slang, ex-
pressive of the utmost in
credulity, greeted James Mat
tern, round.the-world aviator,
when he dropped his plane
down on tiny Kragero Island
in Oslo Fjord yesterday after
flying the Atlantic.
Fishermen who saw his plane
on the beach summoned M.
Viborg, director general of the
island, who has a fair COM
mand of English. Mattern
told him he had flown across
the Atlantic. Viborg stared,
and with a knowing smile
exclaimed:
"Oh yeah?"
without trying to find out
how this expressive American
idiom had penetrated to the
Norwegian hinterlands, Mattern
embarked upon the task Of
proving to Viborg that he had
told the truth.

RADIO TERMED
PERIL To US.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 5
G.NSO The right of free speech
is threatened by present allot-
ments of radio broadcasting chan
nels, E. H. Harris, Richmond.
Ind, publisher and chairman of
the radio committee of the Amer
ican Newspaper Publishers Asso-
citation, declared in an address be-
fore the annual convention of the
National Editorial Association
today. He said:
"A monopoly has been created
in the case of each cleared
channel which will abridge the
rights and privileges of the citi-
zens of the United States.
"When the Federal Govern
ment grants a monopoly to pri-
vate capital invested in radio
brOadcaSting, it automatically
shuts out free speech. All that
the brOadcasting companies
need to do to prevent the broad
casting of a speech is to say
that the time has been sold or
allotted and that there will be
no opportunity for the presenta-
ton of the speech through the
use of that particular channel"
Granted that the radio has the
power to hamper freedom of ex-
preston through its ability to Sc
lect it's program, the American
press remains the only medium
which functions in the interests
of free speech and for the pro-
lection of the basic rights OF the
people, the speaker added.

VISITORS FLOCK
To CAPITAL

Summer visitors poured into
the city yesterday in automo-
biles, trains, buses and airplanes.
Union Station and the Amer
lean Automobile Association head
quarters were beehives of activ-
ity. More than 5000 excursion
lists passed through the terminal,
most of them taking advantage
of weekend reduced rates. The
Norfolk and Washington Steam
boat Company ran water eX-
cursion here and reported it a
sell-out.
Every Washingtonian who was
able to move either on foot or
by automobile did so, police re-
ported. Fifteen extra police
were assigned to the Potomac
Park area to keep traffic moving
during the yacht parade and re-
ported their hands full. The Zoo
was crowded with visitors as was
every other point of interest in
and around the city.

With the next installment on
the income tax due in a few days,
the sales tax plan begins to look
less painful to citizens who find
their pockets empty just when
Uncle Sam is demanding that they
shell out cash.
Nor has the fact that the rich
can evade the income tax, as
shown in the Morgan inquiry,
made the average person feel
kinder toward that form Of as
sessment. Most of them seem
to feel that Tex Guinan should
be around to greet the income
taxpayer with her famous Hello,
sucker"
Opinions expressed to The
Washington Times follow.
Lawyers Opinion
BY John j. McGinnis, member
of the bar:
"The sales tax seems to be
far better than an increase in
taxes on the moderate income.
"There should not be both
forms of taxation, however.
The income tax on $4,000 or
$4,000 should be removed and
the general sales tax levied.
'It is easier for the man OF
moderate income to pay the
sales tax than the income as
SeSsmentS, and there would be
no such tax evaSiOnS as has
been brought to light in the
Morgan hearings"
BY j. Weinberg, tailoring busi-
ness:
"The sales tax would help
the Government balance the
budget and get out of debt.
Nobody spends money when in
debt, and when the Govern.
ment gets out there will be
plenty of building to be done.
"YOu don't notice it much
when you buy something and
pay a few cents extra. When
a man has enough money to
buy things he can afford to
pay a little tax. When he
hasn't any money he can't pay
an income tax"
Opposes Dual Tax
BY James A. Wyant, restaurant
proprietor:
"If the sales tax will be levied
instead of the income tax / am
in favor Of it. 1t is much more
far-reaching and equitable.
However, if both taxes are
levied it will prove ruinOuS to
the man of average means.
