manipulation of economic factors
has. produced complications leading
to a new assortment of evils. Pro-
jeets coated with the sanctity of So
cial reform have failed to bestOw
benefits except of a paternalistic
character which weaken the fibre Of
the people. Through many of the ex-
periments runs a purpose to change
the institutions which have grown
up with the Constitution.
High Cost Is Cited
'The failure of experiments might
be tolerated for short period in
an acute emergency or for a longer
time IL involving no substantial
drain upon the Treasury. Not only
have the Administrations half-bak-
ed theories proved misguided but the
cost Of experimentation has been
tremendous.
Annual expenditures Of the Fed
eral government have been double
those OF the period before the de-
preston. The continuance of an un-
balanced budget threatens difficulties
more alarming than anything that
heretofore has occurred. There is in
creasing recognition Of the fact, as
demonstrated in the case Of the NRA
that recovery is proceeding in spite
cf. rather than because Of, experi-
inentation. The present situation de-
niands an end of experimentation

statement from his ofice Monday.
charging there is nothing more de-
ceptive than this pretense of having
farmers vote to continue the AAA
program"
"The newspapers carried stories
for several days that the Agricultur-
al Department is much concerned
about the outcome of the vote on the
cOrn-hog control" Senator Hastings
said. This, of course, was pure
camoflague.
Anyone with a grain of sense
knew there would be but few votes
against il. There was no point in
voting against it because II did not
compel any farmer to sign a con-
tract.
There is nothing more deceptive
than this pretense OF having farm
cTs vote to continue the AAA pro-
gram. To take a vote is perfectly
silly and the mere routine Of the
vote Is to make it appear the thing
itself Is popular"
