Nye is right in his predictions, and
that the program of the munitions
investigating committee is going to
be put through congress in spite
of the opposition of war profiteers.
The Nye committee, it was re-
vealed last week, is about to begin
a probe of shipbuilding, airplane
and arms concerns to learn chow
much these plants are worth and
how much it costs to operate
them"
Meanwhile, quietly and without
publicity, the Federal Trade Com
mission is engaged in study to
determine how much it would cost
Uncle Sam to make it's own muni-
tions and warships in his own fac
tories and navy yards. The result
of this survey will be put into the
hands of the Nye committee when
it reconvenes for hearings in jan
uary.

placed on record, will doubtless

the report of Howard Y. Williams,

He has just returned from a six

Washington, - After carefulS
study, the Brookings Institution
has come to the conclusion that not
only has the AAA failed to aid
farmers to any extent, but it is
actually a danger to the farm pop
ulationAwhich, considering the
plight of American agriculture,
makes it sound very dangerous IN
deed.
The study denies that status Of
stock farmers have improved to
anv great extent. While it conclud
ee that a seven per cent increase
in income has been due to the AAA
that income is almost nothing COM
pared to the decline In agrlcul-
lures buying power, and there
seems no sign of an increase: Be
sides that, it may be pointed out
that the benefit of this seven per
cent has been to the very wealthy
corporation farmers and smaller
farmers have taken loss.
The result has been that the
AAA publicity agents have MADE
an attempt to convince the nation
and agriculture, that farm pros
peritv is here and that nothing
more need be done. In fact, it has
meant stabilized poverty. The
newspapers are full of stories
about farm prosperity which are
obviously false, but it has served
to confuse and mislead farmer:
and urban jewellers alike.

The Pictures Background I
Sheridan county is one of the
monuments to the efforts of Coun-
ty Buster Dan Mckay, assisted by
a few Main Streeters and real es-
tate sharks who wanted to annex
a little quick and easy money on
a county seat boom. They did the
job in 1913 and that was in the
boom days. Everybody was either
rich or going to become rich. The
rocket was still going up. Popu-
lation increased up to 1920 when
the total was 13,847. Thereafter
evil days followed one after the
other. Wall Street was draining
its wealth away but Sheridan, like
5000 counties in the United States,
didn't know why it was going
down hill. Population slumped to
1854.
Population is now still less than
it was in 1880. Estimates run
from $500 to $500. Other meth
DDS of checking indicate that 5000
is probably about the right figure.

tense attorneys are endeavorihg to
prove perjury on the part of pro-

knowledge and connivance of the
prosecution and that Mooney there
fore did not have a trial under
due process of law as provided by
the 18th amendment.
