statement of the law Of contract. or
the law of libel, by men with brains. ="
He defended the brain trust" as .
menace to every selfish interest that
thrives under stupid and dishonest
Government" once millions Of people
have been educated Ito understand
what the professors are talking about. "
The political assaults on N. r. A.
were characterized as "the present at
tack upon the use Of brains in Gov
ernment"
Again resorting to sarcasm, Rich
berg said: 1T is the rash. impatient
ernment in operation before he dies,
who arouses immediate and bitter
hostility"
He applauded the conciliation Of
extremes by the "opportunist" Of the
present regime. who "rashly seeks an
immediate improvement Of the exist
ing order, especially when he Is in
spired by the reasonable prospect
that unless something is done at once
to relieve intolerable social strains, q
revolutionary movement may for q
time destroy al possibility Of social
progress"
Industrial Self Rule.
The fundamental concept Of the N
r. A. program. Richberg said, "is that
under auspices of a democratic Gov
eminent there can be organized a plan
of industrial self-government, and
that out of the self-organized units
Of business such plan can be de-
veloped and administered, with the
Government acting. not as a dictator
but as moderator-an umpire to in
sure fair play and the fulfillment OF
public obligations"
Argument that the recovery pro-
gram is communistic or revolutionary
he asserted. is mere sound and fury
signifying nothing"
Rather than attempting to set up
another form Of Government, N. r. A
is seeking to carry forward our con-
stitutional principles Of self-govern-
ment into q political-economic order
which will serve the needs of the
twentieth century," the institute was
told.
Richberg said those who are not
too learned to learn, not too clever to
be wise" will appreciate this fact.
Price and wage fixing were called
bad medicine" but were said to be
necessary so long as "cut throat
competition" and competition "for
profits by underpaying and overwork-
ing men and women" continue.
Rogers, who is dean of the Uni
versity of Colorado Law School, agreed
with Richberg on the need for
economic planning. but denied that
the administration Is conducting such
planning.
Not Economic Planning.
The N. r. A., he asserted, is mot
economic planning at ALL and the
belief that it is, constitutes q "sell
deceit"
He said "the N. r. A. code system
may become, as time goes on, either
gospel or anathema in America. Ir
either case, We ought to keep it clear
of the well-thought-out, but quite un.
tried, suggestions called economic
planning"
George Wharton Pepper, former
Senator from Pennsylvania, was the
last speaker. He lauded the work ol
the institute and stressed the i'm
portance Of cooperation. through it

M'N|NCH TO TALK
ON RATE SURVEY
Federal Power Commission
Chairman Will Speak in
Radio Forum.

A subject that touches the pocket
book of millions Of Americans will be
discussed in the National Radio Forum
Tuesday night, when Frank r. Nc
Ninch. chairman of the Federal Power
Commission. tells of the electric rate
survey just starting under direction
of that agency.
The Forum, which goes on from
WRC at 1890, Eastern standard time,
is carried over a coast-to-coast net
work of the National Broadcasting
Co., under sponsorship Of The Wash
ington Star.
Will Discuss Survey.
In addition to the rate question. Mr..
McNinch will detail otner activities OF
the commission. which has jurisdic-
ton over the vast water power re-
sources Of the Government. These in
clude a power survey for which ar
rangements have been under way
some time.
Both studies are Nationwide That
of rates just recently was ordered by
Congress. 1t will cover the charges
by every power distributor, whether
private or public. making available
for the first time this data for Con-
gress, State legislative and regulatory
bodies, and citizens generally. 1t will
also permit comparison of rates in
the several sections of the country.
Scope Is Large.
The power survey was launched by
order Of President Roosevelt, and will
include not only all developed power
plants. whether hydro-electric or
steam, but the undeveloped potential
power sources, bringing out their eco
nomic feasibility, and the possible
market within transmission distance
It is viewed as Of great importance to
the power industry, and as laying the
groundwork for a comprehensive pow
er program for the future.
Mr.. McNinch has been a member
Of the Power Commission since its
creation as an independent agency OF
the Government in 1890. A Demo-
crat. he was designated for the chair
manship by President Roosevelt. whose
administration has witnessed increas-
ing activities by the commisson.

BY WALTER Z. sPAHR
Professor q Economics
New York University

Today there are unqueStionably
distinct danger signals flashing red
with respect to where our public debt
program Is leading US. Each week
sees new voices raised in issuing warn
ings. And without doubt most Of these
people are responsible citizens and
leaders who have no disposition to
frighten the general public unless
the facts warrant the awakening Of a
feeling Of deep concern on the part
Of al responsible persons. Some Of
these leaders who have been issuing
warnings are men with experience
In the field Of fiscal affairs far ex-
ceeding that Of those now CHARGED
With the responsibility Of plotting the
ship Of state through the present dis
turbed waters Of fiscal upheaval.
What, specifically, are the danger
signals which have appeared?
First, there are the cold figures Is
to the startling increase In the pub
lie debt Of the federal government,
without giving any consideration
whatever to state, municipal, and
other local debts. At the beginning
u O11S 410C0A yS4G A0O1eA0OO t11S pOOe
lie debt stood at 80, $4,000 1000. BY
June 80. 1888, 1t has risen over three
billion to $22,539, 0oo,0 600. BY June 80.
1894, it had risen another four and
one-half billion to ~, 053, 900 GOETHE
highest point ever reached In our his
tory and SO, 868, O00, 900 above the low
est postwar debt Is 1t stood In 1880.
Deficit Il . Worry
Second, there are the figures q to
the mounting deficit in the yearly
budget. For the fiscal year 1932-lo33
the budget was unbalanced by 81, 1885,
o0o, 600. For the year lo33-lo34 It was
unbalanced BY $3.50 y000, 900, and It
has been estimated by competent
authorities thst the deficit may reach
five billion for the fiscal year 1884,
1885. A deficit Of five billion viii
carry the debt to 80 billion or approx
mately twice the low postwar debt
figure Of 1890, In addition. the gov
eminent Is liable as guarantor Of
principal and interest on obligations
now being issued to refinance farm
and home mortgages which may

Jamestown, N. D.. Oct. l3.-(F-|
Henry Holt, candidate for q. 8. SEN
ator; w. D. Lynch, candidate for con-
gress. and Oscar Nygaard, candidate
for state treasurer, were speakers ut
q Democratic rally here Friday.
Holt stressed necessity OF water
conservation and compared the record
Of Burton K. Wheeler, senior senator
from Montana whom he said had pro-
cured sos, O0o. 900 from the federal
government for Montana against Sen
ator Frezier,s record Of zero for North
Dakota. He said North Dakota had
received al 100000 from the federal
government for public works, wheat
allotment relief and other agencies as
q gift.
although he has been nominated
by the Republican party, Senator
Frazier has not taken stand on that
PLATFORM" said Holt. II read that In
Grafton he made q slight reference
to the state ticket. This Is just pus-
syfooting to save himself.
Frazier predicted that II he was
elected he would assist In passage Of
the farm bill In the next four or five
years and I promise that II am elect
ed that ! will have refinance project
for farmers passed at the first ses-
sion Of congress"
Reads Frazier Letter
Reading a Photographic copy Of q
letter he said was from r. w. Frazier
Of Willistoh to Senator Frazier, Holt
said in part:
"Williston, N. D., Feb. 10, 1884.
Hon. Lynn J. Frazier:
1T has been some time since
wrote to you, but ran onto matter
yesterday that think should demand
your personal attention. Deputy y. 8.
Marshal Frau Of Minot has been in
Divide county attempting to under
mine Gov. LANCER and get delegates
to state convention opposed to his re-
Endorsement. This I think very det-
rimental to you. In fact know that
should your appointee be successful
In defeating the governors endorse
ment that it should 60 hard In elec-
ton as your friends are hangers
friends and his friends are your
friends. II hangers friends feel that
their efforts are being double crossed
by your appointees. since you are or
the same ticket, I feel that appointees
to you men and your subordinates
should work same direction. I am
just tipping you off for the sake Of
protecting the organization that made
you what you are.

Maintenance engineer"
He also read letter he said was to
r. w. Frazier from Frank Vogel which
said: Il am in receipt Of your letter
to Frazier. It is exactly what oil the
boys in the state should do"
Lynch discussed the necessity Of
sending men to congress favorable to
the New Deal and who could work for
the benefit Of North Dakota. Nygaard
presided.
