BIG DEMAND FOR R

With the distressing stories OF
the plight of the farmers of the
Middle West, and che great num-
Der of mortgaged farms on which
the owners cannot pay interest, ii
might be expected that farms are
a drug on the market in the sec
tons affected.
But, actually, there is a big de-
mand for farms. Despite the fact
that farm crops are selling at abou,
the lowest point in history, and
that few farmers are reported able
to make a profit, there are plenty
of customers for farms.
The reason for this is a logical
me-.
At the height of the farm boom
of the war years and just after:
thousands of farmers in the Middle
West realized their ambition to re-
tire. They had not alone made re-
cord profits over a period of a few
years, but they could sell out at
remarkably high prices for farm

For one thing, the absence of

meant a saving Of many thousands
Of dollars in the building and the
addition of many priceless square
feet of exhibition space.
Even more important, the lack of
windows permits continuous control
over interior illumination, even
during the brightest Of sunlit hours.

SAVINGS . In Postal bank.

million Americans have nearly
seven hundred million dollars or

the form of Postal Savings. That
is one operation of the Govern
ment in a field also occupied BY
private business, which has provec
a huge success.
Owing to the law which pro-
hibits any person from having
more than $4,000 on deposit in the
Postal Savings at one time, post
masters have to reject more de-
posts than they receive. Also, only
comparatively few p%ostoflces are
authorized to accept savings &C

1t seems to me that the new Ad-
ministratiop at Washington could
perform a greatly-needed public
service by making every p~ostofice
a savings depository, and by per-
hitting individuals to carry as
large balances as the commercial
savings banks allow.

TIRESOME TO SOME

To The Editor:
Some of the writers of today
seem to feel that, in order to put
their stories across, they must see
that their heroes and heroines spend
part Of their time mixing and
drinking cocktails.
To some readers, this mixing and
drinking of cocktails may add a
certain color, a certain zest, which
passes for action. But, to the dis
eliminating mind, it is far-fetched
and tiresome. For, how can a hero
Or heroine act with any degree Of
sanity, with a brain befogged
with liquor?

FRIDAY, MARCH "a, 1888
BACK UP hi PRESIDENT

We can think of no better ad-
vice to give to everybody at this
time than to say: Keep cool and
back up the President" 1t makes
no difference whether one is a Re-
publican or a Democrat. The fate
of our nation is in the hands of
the man in the White House., and
he is entitled to the sincere sup
port of everybody. We think every
good Republican will follow the
example of the former President,
Mr.. Hoover, who has publicly
expressed his approval of Mr..
Roosevelt's actions thus far and
has called upon the people of the
whole country to place their conf
dence in him.
Nobody knows better than Mr..
Hoover what a serious condition
confronted the United States on
the day when he turned owe the
KEYS of the White House to his
successor. Mr.. Hoover's hands
were tied. AS the outgoing Presi-
dent he could not initiate actions
which he could lot hope to carry
out. 1t would have been unfair
to tie his successors hands. But he
could, and did, lay the situation
so clearly before Mr.. Roosevelt
that the new President did not
have to waste time after his inaug-1
uration before going into action.
OF Mr.. Roosevelt's policies, as
disclosed by his actions thus far,
we think most will agree that they
have met the approval of the peo-l
pie as a whole in a remarkable de-
gree. The country was facing al
situation which called for drastic
remedies, and Mr.. Roosevelt did
not hesitate to apply those remc-
dies. We do not think it is fair toI
criticize what some regard as his
dictatorial attitude. Nobody can
seriously believe that Mr.. Roose-
welt intends to set himself up as an
American Mussolini, even if it
were possible for him to do so.
But in IN emergency only single
headed leadership can be relied
upon for prompt action. When
the ship is sinking the captain
cannot wait to take the advice of
his officers and crew; he must take
the responsibility upon his own
shoulders.
That IS what Mr.. Roosevelt. has
done, and until we are past the
crisis the patriotic thing for every
American to do is to back up the
President, by voice and action, to
the limit of every mans individual
ability.

COMMENT
EXTRAVAGANCE IN
GARAGE

To The Editor:
The incredible report recently
of the building of a garage on
Capitol Hill in Washington at a
cost of nearly a million dollars for
members of Congress should be
reproduced in every newspaper of
the country. In addition, there
should be obtained, if possible, the
names of the Senator's and Repr:-
sentatives who voted for this ex-
travagance. 1t is not pleasant
reading for thousands of tax pay
ers who are going without all the
luxuries of life and many of what
have been considered its necessities,
in order to pay the taxes demanded
of them.

TARIFF BILL GIVES
ROOSEVELT POWER
Rainey Says President Could Make
Treaties Without Senate
Approval.
BY the Associated Press.

BY tine Associated Press.
Speaker 2ainey told newspaper men
today the proposed tariff bill as last
drafted, would give the President
power to negotiate and put in opera
ton, without first receiving Senate ap-
proval, reciprocal treaties with other
nations.
Under that bill" Rainey said. the
President would have authority to make
reciprocal tariff treaties. They would
become effective upon his proclama-
ton and remain in effect unless the
Senate rejected them.
Its the same plan as was FOL
lowed in the reorganization authority
we gave to the Chief Executive" He
referred to shifting about Of Govern
ment bureaus.
The tentative measure, now being re-
drafted for the fourth time, would
limit to a specified period the time
in which the Senate could reject the
treaties, Rainey added. In the draft
of the bill he saw that period wai
blank.
THE principal question now involved
is whether there is q necessity for the
President to have power to raise Al
well as lower tariffs" Rainey said
The contention by some is that he
can raise them sufficiently under the
present flexible provisions of the tariff
law"

Virtually every one of the galaxy

general manufacturers sales tax meets
this requirement. 1t Is the one sound
reliable, assured basis for Government

Lamont, in opposing the labor clauses
in the bill, said the steel industry stands
positively for the open shop" and lis
unalterably opposed to the closed shop.
For many years." he added. ''it has
been and now is prepared to deal d.
rectly with its employees collectively on
all matters relating to their employ
ment.
ut is opposed to conducting negoti-
ations regarding such matters otherwise
than with its own employees.
1T is unwilling to conduct them with
outside organizations of labor or with
individuals not its employees"
Lamont said If this position is not
protected in the bill the industry is
positive that the intent and purpose OF
the bill cannot be accomplished.
Senator Reed. Republican, OF Penn
sylvania, asked Lamont If the bill abol-
ished the open shop.
Its uncertain and not quite clear
what is contemplated" Lamont replied
Referring to statements that the
American Federation of Labor would
use the bill as a foundation for a new
labor organization drive. Lamont said,
I'VE fear that will be more disturbing
than helpful"
Before the House Committee, Secre-
tary Ickes said:
Federal legislation giving the Presi-
dent power to regulate is essential to

industry has continued without any
satisfactory correlating regulation by
the Federal Government"

poses to do"

THE camp, which will be in opera

vanguard now arriving will be rapidly
augmented in number. BY the end OF

establish second camp nearby with
accommodations for $50 women.
In addition to the routine duties OF

PREVENTED CHAOS

Praises Newspapers
Aid in Crisis.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, June 1.-The part that
newspapers have played in the crisis
was outlined today by Louis Wiley,
business manager Of the New York
Times before the New York State
Chamber of Commerce.
He said that had there been no news
papers to tell of the developments in
Washington during the early weeks Of
the Roosevelt administration I'VE should
have been in chaos"
THE feeling of confidence and
courage which we happily have today
and justifiably so, believe-would not
be abroad in the land he asserted.
tine loose talk Of dictator In
Washington" he continued reminds
us how different our situation is today
from that of an actual dictatorship
II there were an actual dictator inAtne
White House, the newspapers OF our
country would all be regimented. None
would dare to oppose what the admins
tration is doing It would be q crime
to question any Of the acts OF the ad-
miniStration just as it is crime In
Berlin and Moscow today to challenge
the policies of Hitler and Stain.
He praised President Roosevelt for his
relations with the press, asserting thai
almost as never before the news from
Washington has been complete and &C
curate."
The newspaper Is the true solvent
of all democracy" said Mr.. Wiley. IT
Is the one article sure to go into every
home of the wealthy, which the work.
ingman regards as an indispensable
daily habit, and which even the vagrant
on the bench in the park picks up
The newspaper YIELDS the community as
does no other social agency"
In opening his speech. Mr.. Wiley re-
ferred to the charge made in the Senate
by Senator LIE Toilette of Wisconsin that
the Chamber of Commerce of the State
of New York was controlled by ]. p
Morgan g. Co.
Il am confident" he said, that the
Morganatic alliance which the disting-
uished Senator charges exists in his
imagination only"
