THE DANGER OF GOVERN
MENTAL RELIEF

The new farm bill is swinging
slowly into action. The government
will undertake to balance production
and demand, to improve the farmers
financial condition, to ease the burden
of mortgages and to raise the prices
of his produce.
While this will be temporarily ben
eficial it will be permanently harm
full, if the farmer as an individual
comes to depend upon the government
to solve his problems and smooth his
path. That is always the trouble with
governmental aid measures, no matter
how carefully they are drawn-they
are apt to create feeling of Deepen
dence in the beneficiary that leaves
him helpless when aid has been taken
away.
The wise farmer will recognize the
bill for what it is-an effort to carry
him through a critical period, and
give him hand in Strengthening out
his troubles, so that he may stand on
his own feet thereafter. Lasting farm
progress comes from the farmers own
effort. 1t must be the reflection OF
his own will, his own aggressiveness,
his own courage, if it is to be perm
anent.
During the next few years there
is one agency that will be of vital i'm
portance-the farm cooperative. 1t is
the agency through which the individ-
ual farmer, in company with his
neighbors, may fight his own battles
and win his own victories. Long after
governmental relief is no longer nee
essary, the cooperative will remain.
No matter how often we may change
our ideas of what attitude govern
ment should take toward the farmer,
the cooperative idea is fixed and will
not be dislodged And this is the time
for farmers to work their hardest in
advancing the interest of their CO.
operatives.

HISTORY CAN REPEAT
ITSELF

In 1860 the federal government cost
the average citizen $2.08 per year.
In 1881 the cost of government, for
all units, was $1O7.37 per capita.
In 1913 the total cost of government
was $2,900,000,0O0, and in 1919 it was
$500, 100000, and in 1881 it was $14,-
OOO,OOO,OOO. u.
In 1928 year of inflated prosper
ity-the total tax of the American
people amounted to 16 per cent of
their incomes.
In 1914 year of bleak depression
it amounted to % per cent. The
current year may be the most exxpen-
sive in our history, with the exception
of the war period.
How much of the increase in the
cost of government, federal, state
and local, can be laid to waste, is
problematical. But there is no ques-
ton but that it runs into the hundreds
of millions, for there are scores of
bureaus, commissions and inflated
governmental payrolls, many of which
simply duplicate the work of others.
We have permitted the government
to go into various tax-eXempt bust
ness ventures in competition with the
livelihoods of private citizens who are
forced to pay the taxes to maintain
the competition.
More and more money is going into
tax-exempt government bonds instead
of taxable, labor employing invest
ments. The result is Increased unem-
ployment and distress.
History shows many examples of
taxing a people until they repudiate
tax obligations. Unless all units of
government retrench, it is not impos-
sible to force such tax crisis in our
own country.

the natioal administration in Novem-

UeT.
1t is true that the stock market in
New York halted its advance imme-
diately after the Maine election and
after some hesitation started falling
again. This need not be taken to
mean that there was any lack of con-
fidence in Mr.. Roosevelt. If it meant
anything at all it indicated that with
such a change of administration in
the offing, and necessarily drifting
policy from November to March, the
recovery would have to be held in
allegiance until the new administration
was seated and its policies had de-
veloped. Whether or not there would
have been continuous recovery after
last July except for the intervention
of the national campaign, is now pure
ly matter for speculation on the part
of the politicians. Perhaps the time
element in recovery from a depres-
sion is an important one. Nobody can
tell, when recovery comes, how much
of it is due to governmental pro-
grams and how much to the healing
agencies of Father Time.
Certain it is that the recovery which
was interrupted last September began
again in March this year after the
bank holiday. Whether it is sound
and lasting remains to be seen. All
Americans regardless of policies hope
that it is. There is a general atmos
phere of "going along with the Pres
ident" in all parts Of the country.
The people are. refraining from criti-
cism to an extent unparalleled in the
political history of the United States
and are wishing the administration
well. If there is failure and then
harsh criticism it will not come until
another campaign is upon US. The
opposition party has pretty generally
adopted a sportsmanlike attitude of
giving Mr.. Roosevelt his chance. There
has been no setting up of poison
gas squad" as was once done by Mr..
Raskob and Mr.. Michaelson early in
the Hoover administration. The Re-
publicans in Congress during the spe-
cial session just ended turned the
tables on their Democratic colleagues
in Congress by giving the President
at least SO percent support although
practically the same Democrat men,
bers had knitted the Republican pro-
gram in 1882 plenty.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS
By FRANK P. LITSCHERT

An interesting theory of depression
and recovery was presented recently
at the University of Virginia by Ed
mund Plat, e-president of the Mid
land Marine Corporation of New
York. Mr.. Platt said that eff 1882
had not been a presidential year, the
recovery begun then might have con-
tinued without any interruption so
that we might have been about where
we are today"
Continuing, Mr.. Platt said: "Per-
sonally I feel that the recovery be-
ginning in 1882 would have continued,
barring the election, if the Glass bank
ing reform bill had been put upon the
statute books before the adjorun-
ment of Congress last summer, in the
form in which it was reported from
the Senate Banking and Currency
Committee in May"
Without going into the merits of
the Glass bill it is interesting to spec
ulate on whether or not the election
did halt the recovery which seemed to
have set in about year ago. 1t will
be remembered that just before the
Fourth of July the stock market hit
it's low for the depression. Business
depression had been existent for three
years. There was a slow recovery
continuing until October when there
was another relapse. Republican pol
iticians like to recall the fact that
the first sign of the relapse came
with the Maine election in Septem-
Der, an election which plainly indi-
Gated that there was to be change in

1t was reported that Austria would
ask Sir Eric Phipps, British Ambas-

interests in Germany.
Meanwhile, Dollfuss was in Rome
comforting with Mussolini over the

Italian premier is pressing, and which
would create greater unity between
Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia,

NEW YORK.-Relief for the city
was cut $1,085 900 despite the absence
of unemployment, and rising prices,
the Co-ordinating Committee on I'M
employment of the Welfare Council
stated in a letter to the Relief ADJ
ministration yesterday.
The Welfare Council declares this
relief slash to be wholly unwarrant-
ed" The need for more relief in fact
is increasing due to the rapid rise in
prices.
At the present time. the letter
points out, relief cases are being
dropped at the slightest sign of any
income whatever in the family. This
is true even if the father earns some
pennies shining shoes. Practically no
rents are being paid
The average amounts Of relief per
family was $25.91 in May, $27.50 in
June, and $21.39 in July. These
amounts were declared by the Welfare
Council to be "far from adequate"
