FARMERS TO GET
BILLION IN NAA.A.
Before End of 1885 Huge
Sum to Be Paid Out.
Drought Areas Benefit.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
More than $1,000, 100000 is des-
tined to go into the pockets Of the
Nations farmers through the A. A. A.
before the end of 1885.
Cotton, tobacco, wheat and corn
hog benefit payments will total $779,-
4o2, 900, officials estimated today. OF
this sum $2s2, 1872, ,51e.21 had been
paid out up to August IS.
OF the latter payments cotton farm
ers have received the lions share,
s152,510,739. Wheat farmers netted
SGT, 7,781, ,951, corn-hog farmers, Sac
5,988, and tobacco growers, $15,773,-
1856.
In addition to the SITS, 9,402, 900
which is being paid out to farmers for
controlling production-cattle raisers
will net about $120, 100000 and sheep
men approximately $7,5OO,OO0 by SELL
ing drought-stricken animals to the
Government. This raises the total for
farm adjustments close to $1,000,-
900 900.
The figures do not include benefit
payments under the sugar program,
which is still being drafted. These
are expected to boost the outlay well
above the billion-dollar figure.
Chester c. Davis, Farm Administra-
ton, said that about S587 900 900 Of
the benefit payments would go to
farmers in emergency and secondary
drought areas. They have already re-
ceived about $150,000 900 of this.

PRESIDENT ENJOYS
ROADSIDE PICNIC.
"PIaying Hooky' for Day
Before Settling in Sum-
mer White House.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.
Staff CORRESPONDENT of The Star.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, August
27.-In the cool of late Summer
day, strongly suggestive of Autumn,
President Roosevelt is today enjoying
a sightseeing ride which will afford
him an opportunity to visit two COR
rectional institutions and the Military
Academy at West Point.
The President, who seemed a trifle
worn when he arrived at his ances-
trail home at Hyde Park yesterday,
after a trying period in Washington,
following his long journey from the
Pacific Coast, wanted to devote one
day to what he terms recreation in
the open on a lark" before getting
down to work
With Mrs. Roosevelt, the President
started from Hyde Park shortly be-
fore 10 o'clock, and. according to his
schedule, will not return until about
dusk.
Mr. Roosevelt embarked on today's
junket with genuine enthusiasm. He
appeared happy at the idea of shak-
ing of the cares of his Office for one
DAY, to enjoy motoring through a
beautiful countryside As he described
it, he wanted to play hooky for oae
day" before settling down in the quiet
beauty of his old home, where he will
conduct the affairs of the Nation for
the next four weeks and where he
hopes to evolve the solution of the
two most perplexing problems of his
administration.
1t will be in the atmosphere of this
home, overlooking the Hudson River
at Krum Elbow, that he will struggle
to perfect the reorganization of the
National Recovery Administration,
looking toward a permanent program
that will work for the positive benefit
of business and industry and the
working out of plans for the relief Of
human need so as to prevent human
suffering as much as possible during
the coming Winter
Mr.. Roosevelt arrived at HYDE Park
from Washington yesterday morning.
His homecoming was, as usual, without
ostentation or pomp.

habitable through the enforcement
of the various laws governing insan-
itary and unsafe buildings. But Capt.
Hugh P. Dram, director of inspection,
declared that the insanitary building
law must be virtually rewritten, and
that the dangerous and unsafe build
ing law must be amended before either
would be of any real value to the
District.
If a dwelling is found to be insani-
tary because of dilapidation or bad
plumbing or any structural cause, the
District, theoretically. can order nee
eSsary repairs, and if these are not
made by the owner, then the District
itself may make them and assess the
charges against the profit or the Dis
trict authorities may order the build
ing demolished. So far as unsafe
buildings are concerned, this applies
to new structures as we'll as old ones,
and repairs or demolition may be
ordered.
Court Action Costly.
However, Capt. Dram said, the in
sanitary building law has not been
invoked for two years because the last
time It was used it cost the District
ST, 100 to remove Objectionable condi-
tions in a house that was worth just
$l00. AS the law now stands, he said,
it is too costly for the District to oper-
ate and consequently ''our hands are
tied
Elwood Street, director of public
welfare, told the conference he was
convinced conditions in the poorer
sections of the city could be improved
only by educating the people in the
value of better living conditions, and
by providing much-needed low-cost
housing units. Street insisted that If
all the unsatisfactory dwellings now
occupied were eliminated there would
be insufficient quarters for the num-
ber of persons who need low-coSt
housing.
Sultan Suggests Arrests.
During the discussion of the garbage
collection Commissioner Daniel I. Sui
tan suggested it might be possible to
enforce the garbage laws, which re-
quire it's dposit in containers and
prohibit the strewing of household
refuse in back yards and allys, by ar
resting an offender as "a lesson to
the rest of the neighborhood. Street,
however, contended that such tactics
would not be as productive as "a real
campaign of education in what con-
stitlltes healthful living"
DR.. William c. Fowler, District
health officer, agreed with Street that
the value of sanitary living is not
appreciated by many of the persons
now quartered in the so-called slum
district. Both officers agreed some OF
these families could be moved into
the best houses in town and in a
short time those properties would be
as insanitary as those they quit.

effect than merely making the partic-
ular estimate to which such omis-
sion or mistake relates incorrect; for
example:
81, The omission of land by Mr..
Tate in computing taxes during con-
struction in his reproduction cost ap-
praisal has caused his estimate OF in
tereSt during construction also TO be
incorrect, since larger amount OF
money would have to be raised for
construction if taxes on land had
been included.
"2. If land is not omitted in COM
putting interest and taxes during con-
struction for the reproduction cost
new estimates, the correction of Mr..
Rowzee's omissions and mistakes In
appraisal of the lands of the compa-
nies would cause the taxes and in
terest during construction to be con-
siderably increased.
"3. The use of correct labor rates
by Mr.. Tate in making his estimates
of the cost to reproduce new the
structures of the companies would
necessarily increase his estimates OF
interest and taxes during construc-
ton.
a. The use of the present cost OF
replacing paving instead OF the orig
inal cost of paving would increase
interest during construction.
IS. The inclusion of part of the
property deducted by Mr.. Tate as be-
ing not used or useful (for example
the portions of the property conSld-
cred not used or useful because used
for appliance sales or rented would
increase all overhead construction
costs.
"6. Any change in Mr.. Tate's es-
Inmates of depreciation of the dis
tribution system would affect his de-
probation of paving over mans and
services since he has deprecated paw
ing by the depreciation percentage
estimated for the distribution system.
"7. Any change in Mr.. Tate's
depreciation estimate for any of the
physical property accounts would af-
feet his depreciation on overheads
since he has deprecated overheads by
percentage derived from the ratio
of the physical property deprecated to
the physical property undepreciated."
The gas hearing case had been post
poned numerous times since the Sum-
mer of 1882 when engineers first
started an examination of the prop
critics of the companies as basis for
the valuation proceedings. Hearings
were started a year ago last February,
but were postponed several times. the
taking of evidence actually being
started last October. The testimony

ENEMY CAPTURES.
JERSEY RESORTS
Atlantic City in "Ruins" as
Army Begins Annual
ManeuVerS.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEWARK, N. j., August 81
Enemy" troops of the formidable
BLACK" entente landed at three
south Jersey points early today under
the protecting fire of mythical war
ship conveys, bringing sudden war"
to the Northeast coast of the Nation
(The Army general staff flashed
the reports of the enemy landing
the first act in the Army war game
maneuvers, which will be climaxed
next week by alphabetically saneui-
nary battles as imaginary American
troops fight to defend-on paper-the
State from an equally imaginary
invader)
Atlantic City, most of its famous
hotels in ruins" after a theoretical
bombardment by the heavy guns Of
the Black feet, was in the hands of
the enemy, who were reported vir-
tually in control of the southern part
Of New Jersey.
Harbors Crippled.
Away to the north, a swift bomb
ing raid by the Black air armada,
operating from plane carriers at sea,
crippled most of the harbor defenseS
guarding New York Bay (according
to the scenario of the imaginary
war;. The thunder of mythical gun
fire and the roar of equally mythical
bombs shook the metropolitan area as
the invisible bomberS droned over
head.
The appearance of an enemy feet
with transport (all this is pure mag
ination) off the Jersey coast caught
the defending forces completely by
surprise. Black naval forces, active
along a front from the Chesapeake
to Boston, drove all available Ameri-
can Navy ships to the protection of
fortified harbors, and then, with prac-
tically no opposition, the trans
ports proceeded with their landing
operations.
The lightning rapidity with which
the black forces struck at strategic
New Jersey and the metropolitan sea-
coast followed by a few days the un-
expected declaration of war on the
United States by the black alliance,
which seeks to capitalize on the fact
that the American Fleet and half of
its military forces and aircraft are
already battling a blue invader on
the Pacific Coast.
To Meet Crisis.
Confronted with powerful enemies
on two fronts, the War Department
moved swiftly to meet the crisis. Gen.
Douglas Macarthur assumed COM
mand of the Nations strategic re-
serve, the first and second armies,
and prepared to establish his general
headquarters in New Jersey without
delay.
As the first and second armies were
moved quickly to meet the black
threat in the State, enemy troops
were consolidating their positions in
South Jersey and on the eastern
shore of Delaware. Delaware Bay
was already in the enemy's possession
as more troops moved shoreward in
landing boats.

in 1924 and 1928 when Roosevelt ex-

Whatever the cause, the two men
haven't been as close to each other as
in the old days. Smith has been con-

Shouse made clear that it would
carry its case to the people and the
polling places. That this may pos

between Roosevelt and Smith appears
obvious, but when it will come-and
indeed whether it will come at all

day.

Representative Woodrum, Demo-

the league as an effort to embarrass

"If my memory serves me correct

not only failed to give the President
that cordial and enthusiastic support
which many of Smiths friends hoped
he would give, but soon after the
President took Office one of the first
outspoken Democratic critics of the
Presidents policies was Mr.. Smith"
Referring to John w. Davis, Wood
rum said he led the Democratic party
ito about the worst beating we have
ever had"
Brilliant, intellectual, forceful,
yet he just can't understand the lib

"Mr. Davis will just have to tell his
clients in Wall Street that the new
deal is just exactly what the name
implies, and they might just as we'll
adjust themselves to the new order"
Woodrum said when it comes to
our good friend, Jim Wadsworth,
former United States Senator, who
was defeated by Senator Copeland
