WASHINGTON CURRENT
 COMMENT

Washington, June 13, 1885
 Politics and statecraft have gone into the discard in Washington for the time being, in view of the con- vention of fraternal organization which has decked the city with ban ners, lined historic Pennsylvania Avenue with reviewing stands and spread a carnival spirit through the city. The United States seems to be running along the same as usual, even though the District of Colum- bia is not in a position to supply it's weekly grist of news relating to na- tional affairs. The Capital accepts any reasonable excuse to drop poli- tics for a moment. It is to be sus- pected that the land at large like wise may be relieved to have Wash ington cease now and then from dis charging its customary cargo of matters that call for serious thought
 The Senate has passed a bill tend ing toward hard going for holding companies. A holding company appears to be a concern that has a finger in the profit pie without hay ing rolled the crust or become un- comfortably overloaded by close at tention to the baking process. No doubt there are holding groups hav- ing no function other than to take a rake-off. On the other hand, there are legitimate holding com panies whose common stock has yielded a steady income for the small investor time out of mind and right through the depression. It may be that some pruning is neces sary, but recourse should not be had to the undiscriminating use of the axe.

Now that the Weyerhaeuser kid napers have been apprehended, the next question is: What is to be done with them. There is an anc- tent New Jersey case in the law books, wherein a man was convicted of stealing six small coins from a cupboard, and the report winds up with the statement: The prisoner was hanged. That seems a bit harsh, yet it is probable that filch- ing coins from cupboards was not a popular indoor sport in that part of Jersey for some time thereafter Kidnapping is likely to continue un- til even the attempt to commit that crime is punished by prompt, rough handed treatment of the old time vigilance committee variety, judci- ally administered.

Representative Amlie, Progressive,

Amlie said the President apparently

problems OF the millions of unem-
ployed and those living on charity,
and added:
THE Presidents popularity among
some liberal, labor and farm groups
has been based on the hope that
before long he would do something
fundamental about the fact that al
though we live in an age Of potential
abundance, the people are forced to
endure appalling and unprecedented
poverty. The President has now
blasted that hope.

ICKES CLOSES P. W. A.
BOOKS TO REQUESTS
Moves Deadline Up to Consider
Projects Before Board Meets
September II.

With $500 applications on hand
calling for allotment Of billion dol
lars, the Public Works Administration
announced yesterday it had closed its
books to further requests.
President Roosevelt had fixed Sep
tember IL as the deadline for sub
mitting applications In final form for
a share of the $4,000 100000 works re-
lief fund, but Secretary Ickes moved
it up yesterday to permit study of
P. w. A. proposals before the final
meeting of the Allotment Board on
September II.
Informed circles saw virtually no
hope for the great majority of Ickes'
P. w. A. projects. Showed almost
completely in the background of the
new employment drive, 1000 of his
proposed projects involving 1895 000,-
600 have already been rejected by
Harry L. Hopkins, works progress
administrator, on the ground that
material costs were too high or that
there wasn't a sufficient supply of
local relief labor.
Although s900,000,000 was ear
marked for local P. w. A. projects
only SIPS 100000 has been allotted SC
far. Barely that sum is expected tc
be added by Hopkins unless the Presi-
dent overrules his rigid insistence upon
low-coSt projects similar to those OF
the works progress administrator.
Hopkins revealed last week that moi
a single man Is being employed on
public works projects out Of the
81 ,OOO. 900 900 fund. He. himself, with
no such limitations as are imposed
on P. w. A. projects. has only sue

There Is nothing of this compulsion
in wheat control. In wheat control.
triple A offers the farmer a certain
amount of money If he will contract
to reduce his acreage. The farmer
can take triple AS money and reduce
his acreage or he can decline the
money and raise as much wheat as
he wishes.
The whole mechanism Of wheat
control can be stated, briefly, thus:
The financial part Of it begins with
the miller or professor. From every
miller triple A collects processing
tax" Of 80 cents on every bushel Of
wheat the miller buys. Ultimately.
Of course, the tax is paid by the
whole public that eats bread. The
aggregate collected up to date is
$241, ,482 ,107. With this money triple
A offers every wheat raiser q con-
tract to reduce his acreage. About
579,418 reduction contracts we're made
last year.
The basis of payment for reduction
is quite intricate. One is not sur
prised that the unhappy Missouri
farmer doesn't understand it very
we'll" 1t is too intricate to explain
In detail in the present space. The
calculation begins with an estimate
of how many bushels the farmer
raised on the average Of the years
1930-32. From this a reduction is
required The reduction is in terms
Of acres, because yield in bushels can
not readily be calculated In advance.
OF the number of bushels, it Is as
sumed that 81 per cent was for con-
sumption in America. On this 81
per cent only the farmer is paid
benefit" The benefit is 80 cents per
bushel, less the expenses Of admins
tration, which is about 2 cents per
bushel.
