The nations corn and hog
farmers went to the polls today
in the most vital test Of the Ad-
miniStration farm program since
inception Of the AAA. These pro
ducers will decide whether to con-
tinue planned production for their
commodities after this year.
Mindful Of the significance OF
today's test in the 1886 preSiden'
tial campaign, Mr.. Roosevelt, Sec.
retary of Agriculture Wallace and
AAA Administrator Chester Davis
bent every effort to win support
for a new program.
Climaxing persistent appeals by
Mr.. Davis and hundreds of AAA
agents, the President sounded the
keynote of the Democratic bid for
farm votes next year by disclosing
he would make the AAA a per-
manent arm of the Government.
While denying his announce
ment was timed to influence the
corn-hog referendum, Mr.. Roose-
velt promised increased produc-
ton Of hogs to replace shortages
caused by drought.
He said this step was contem-
plated under the new corn-hog
program drawn by the AAA which
will be placed in operation if more
than a bare majority of producers
support the Administration in
today's voting.

JOBS SMERGER
RULED VOID

A proposal to consolidate the
offices of District Superintendent

ment Compensation Board was
thrown into the discard by the
District Commissioners today.
John A. Marshall is now inSur-
ance superintendent at a salary Of
S., 800 a year, but, on January /,
moves into his new position as the
boards director with a salary Of
$1,000 a year.
Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen
today said he thought the pro
posed consolidation an impossi-
bility. He pointed out that while
the insurance superintendent job
is paid directly from municipal
funds, the compensation board di.
rector is paid from Federal funds
for administration Of the compen-
Sation law. Law prohibits the
holding of both jobs, he said.
Commissioner George E. Allen
declared he thought the idea i'm
practicable. He said one job was
sufficient for a man to hold, espe-
cially when that job pays $1,000

in rapid succession as Secretary

Mr.. Stimson was understood to
have urged close cooperation with
