1--WE GIVE ALL, NEW
DEAL TAKES ALL
BY E. F.

- Lee II
t Edgewater, Colorado, Aug. a.
The New Deal has turned out to
be a rotten deal for the farmers
of this state.
In great many instances the
truck farmers around Denver have
not made enough of their produce
to pay for the gasoline, let alone
other expenses and a great nanny
of them will be on relief before
lorg. One farmer from Kiota
hauled load of cattle 100 miles
to the market. AS he could not
get a bid on them he had to haul
them back home again and that is
the general run of conditions thru
out the state.
In another instance a farmer in
the eastern part of the state
bought corn for 711s cents per 100
hauled it over 200 miles and sold
it for 80 cents per 100, and that
is the way the New Deal works
for farmers and workers. We give
all, the bankers and trusts take
all.

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 22.- The

why the State should nor super
wise the spending of the $500,000
obtained yearly by the university
from students fees and other
sources, at d hearing before the
special senate committee appoint
ed to probe the college affairs,
today.
Senator Milton Veasy, head of

probe the question of permitting
Washington students to enter the
university at the same fees
charged to Maryland students.
Senator VeaSy said:
eve do not know if the S125
charged to Maryland students is
enough and that may be raised.
Then, too, as each student costs
the State large sum we may
recommend that the student
body be limited"
The committee probably will
recommend salary cuts for all
teachers, Senator Veasy intimated.
He said they were going to make
special investigation into the con-
duct of the college at College
