LANCER and Townley
At Nations CAPITAL

Washington, March 27.-tP--It was
learned Wednesday that two formerly
prominent figures in North Dakota
politics - former Governor william
LANCER and A. c. Townley-paid Wis
its to Washington over the week end.
Those who saw them. said their ST.
multaneous appearance was coinci-
dental and that they did not come
together. LANCER, 1t was said, came
from Kansas City, where his appeal
from sentence to Leavenworth peni-
tentiary was heard last week. He
went from here to New York to visit
relatives Of his wife, 1t was said.
Townley, former national head Of
the Nonpartisan League and an un-
successful candidate for congress
from Minnesota last fall, was accom-
panied by q Mr.. Joyce Of Bowman,
N. D., identified by those who knew
him as q former sheriff. Their mis-
sion was cloaked in secrecy.
LANCER paid hts respects to three
Of North Dakota's members Of con-
gress- Senator Frazier and Represen-
tatives Lemke and Burdick-but was
said to have stayed away from the
office Of Senator Nye. who cam
paigned against the Langer ticket last
fall.

THE AAA PROGRAM
New England, N. Oak.
March 81, 1885.

Editor, Tribune:
I suppose it will not be amiss to
say few words in regard to the AAA
program at this time.
As I understand 1t, the purpose Of
the AAA is to establish q parity price
for farm products based on the 1913
and 1914 exchange value. That
means that we should be able to buy
for instance q plow today for the
same number Of bushels of wheat or
pounds Of pork, plus the bonus, as We
did in 1914.
Does that solve q farmers prob
lem? do not think it will. First:
because the bonus is paid on only 81
per cent of all wheat produced on the
farm, thus giving US parity on only
81 per cent of our total production,
which can not, by the longest stretch
Of imagination, be considered full
parity.
Second: because the parity price the
AAA attempts to establish does not,
in reality. cover the cost Of produc-
ton over an average number Of years.
What we farmers must have is a
price for our products that covers
cost of production plus q reasonable
wage for our labor.
A farm Is business venture ex-
actly the same as bank or factory
and can not exist without making
profits any more than bank or fac
tory can.
The last Is years were period Of
a tremendous expansion In all
branches of industry including agri-
culture, thus causing an enormous
rise in values, and an almost ,m-
limited credit supply. And We, even
though We never made expenses, were
buying land on credit; building homes
on credit; buying overalls and gro
ceries on credit. And when the re.
action came in 1929, when that credit
supply was cut off, we were broke.
We were broke long before that but
we did not know it. The only time
we were not bankrupt was when we
proved on q homestead Uncle Sam
gave us for nothing.
And now we have come to the point
where we must depend, more or less
on permanent aid from the federal
government, which would mean the
ultimate destruction of our free COM
petitive system, or we must get a
price for our products that covers

is THIS TOO MUCH TO HOPE?

WE ask-do you think there is anything unrea-
w sonabIe about the proposition stated below?
Just what are we going to do about it all? Is
our vision so limited and so uninspred that We see
nothing for the future except return to those con-
dtons that we called prosperous prior to 1929 those
times when what was gaudy and cheap and fam
boyant in our social system faunted in the front
parlor while we swept under the back stairs our
Sums our unemployment, and our submarginal living
for ma jority Of our people?
or shall we chastened in spirit by narrow
escape from social and economic cataclysm that
seemed about to engulf all of US in common dis
aster really get to work to build on this continent
such nation as the humane and socially minded of
our founding fathers saw their dreams-a nation
consisting not Of numerically small class holding
most of the wealth of the country with so per cent
or more lacking adequate food and clothing and
shelter but nation which, except for that mere
handful OF mis1ts and derelics that constantly
being sloughed off of every social group shall be
composed of citizens who are economically free be-
cause they possess the ans of supplying them
selves with those things that make life worth while
and who are therefore truly politically free?"
The quotation is from a speech made at Detroit
yesterday by Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes
So far as we are concerned we are unable to find
PAoEOoUOAA
could we in the recent announcement by the Presi-
dent in Atlanta of a f1rst-cass diet for all as egt
mate national ambition.
Nor do we think that Mr.. Ickes was extreme
when, in another part Of his speech he said
1t is time that We quit of incoming with
heads in the clouds, talking about the American
standard of living, not only though it were the
best that the world has seen, but if it left
nothing to be desired
STANDARD of living is a relative term. Even if it
true that the American standard of living is
the highest record that is not the question that
confronts today. What we are face to face with
is the proposition whether the American standard of
living is such to the minimum require
ments of our people as to comfort health and gen.
eral well-beng If standard of living is not that
high, it is not high enough, whatever the standard
of living may have been il other ages and may be
in other countries"
And looking at it, if we should choose to- not from
the humane but from the purely economic point of
view, what perpetual boom in purchasing power
such a standard of living would bring about! What
an increase in customers! What a bulge in the
volume of business! What an increase in tax re-
ceipts, without further increase in rates! What
baance-and what budget!

KEEPING TALLY

TINE Committee of Public Utility Executives has
just published an eight-page brochure gloating
over Baltimore Federal Judge Coleman's ruling that
the Holding Company Act is unconstitutional 1t
is being sent far and wide through the country just
letters sent to each stakeholder Immediately
after the decision using it to justify noncompliance
with the act
But just as the gloatng pamphlet came off the
presses, two more Federal judges gave two more
opinions in the matter and revision and extern
sion would now seem to be in order
Judge John P. Nields of Wilmington, Hoover ap-
pointee and not in any sense liberal" judge,
asked to pass on identical with that which
came before Judge Coleman. Instead of following
Judge Coleman's reasoning he followed that of gov
eminent attorneys in the Baltimore case "A body
created by an kct of Congress is sought to be de-
stroyed and stripped of its powers without being
a party to the proceeding and without having its
day in court" he said and added: "Such a course
violates accepted of legal procedure"
At about the same time Judge William H Holly
in Chicago instructing trustees of the bankrupt
Public Utilities Securities Corp. to register find
ing that preparation of the registration form will
not be unduy burdensome or expensive to the es-
tate"
So the score stands two to one in favor of the
government. We assume, of course, that the Com
mttee of Public Utility Executives will hastily re-
call its pamphlet and inform stockholders and the
public of this new situation, but just to keep the
record straight while they're getting around to it.

THE ALIEN PROBLEM

TWENTY SIX HUNDRED aliens whose fate has
been hanging in the balance for more than
year may be saved from deportation by the recent
march of men back to work. some of their synlpa-
thizers suggested today.
The $500 men of good character the Immigra-
ton Service says and deportabs only for technical
reasons. If they go they will leave behind them
1000 dependents, many of whom are American citi-
zens and most of whom will be forced onto relief
Congress must decide what to do about this situa-
ton in the next few months Last year it was under
pressure from groups urging deportation of all aliens
as long any citizen remained out of work This
year, with 100000 persons returning to private en-
poyment in September and October and indications
that the figure will rise further, the pressure may
be less
Commissioner of immigration Mccormack will
report to Congress in January the alien situation
Unless existing law is changed before March l. the
26Oo must be shipped abroad. since officials have
no discretion under existing law
The Administration program on the subject calls
for amendment of the law to make deportation re-
qurements more severe alien criminals, less
severe for those of good character.
1t proposes deportation, in the future after an
alien commits a crime involving moral turpitude
deportation of alien racketeers and gangsters con-
vcted of carrying dangerous weapons deportation of
aliens violating state we'll Federal narcotic laws
and deportation of aliens smuggling other aliens into
the country,
1t tightens existing law also in regard to entry
OF agricultural workers into the country and in sew
eral other respects On the other hand, it permits
immigration officials to exercise limited discretion
to stay deportation of aliens of good character who
have not been convicted of crime and who have
been IN the country 10 years or have members of
their immediate families here
When this measure, sponsored by Senator Cool

RIGHT. BUT WHEN?

THE Governor is right in saying that the way to
l. lower government costs is to abolish unneces-
sary and antiquated local government units The
same thing is being said all over the country.
Except in few backward states single county
governments would suffice Rapid transportation and
instant communication have made the township OBJ
sclete. But in the townships are lodged SO much
local political power and so many jobs that little
gets done toward simplifying.
The issue comes UP in almost every state cam
paign. Nominees repeatedly claim it for plank.
In Indiana the county unit especially for schools,
has been advocated for years.
Taxation eventually will force the reform Scan
ming estimates of the cost of complying with the
Social Security Act, sees that both employers
and employees will have to begin to take deeper
interest in other taxes.
Overlapping authorities, local government func-
lions of questionable value, will have to be put on
business basis by consolidation.

is THIS FAIR?

HE news that mems clothing is to be stream
lined to conform to the new railroad trains and
automobiles reaches indianapolis at time when the
gentlemen are beginning to shed the patches of the
depression. They can change over to streamlines
now in greater numbers than a year ago. But can
the ones with knobs and bulges in the wrong places
afford the gymnasium and Turkish bath treatments
that must go with st-eamlining?
1t is thing to say there must be straight
line from collar button to toe and quite another to
achieve it.
This fashion will be greeted with cheers by
the young Apollos who haven't yet developed waist
trouble and who not yet stopped by the cares
and tribuations of business and family life But
what about the great midde-aged class, Who carry
ing the burdens of the last five years have lost fig
ures, sight and teeth. Not TO mention their shirts
