FEDERAL RELIEF EXTENSION
nv MAyOU IA cutApDIA

T STATE from my experience and
\ from contacts with many mayors
that any idea that the federal relief
program can stop abruptly on July Of
next year is simply unthinkable and
impossible. We have to speak out.
The responsibility Is ours.
If anyone expects return to the
old normal he simply does not know
conditions or refuses to inform him
self.
With chronological displacement,
with labor-saving devices in agricul-
ture as well as in industry, we must
be prepared to meet this new nor
NAL, which means that with COM
plete recovery Of business and in
dustry we will still have several mil
lion employable men and women un-
able to find gainful, permanent en-
ployment. There Is no question
about that.

considered the keynote for his cam
paign for reelection, and definitely an
nounced his candldacy-unnecessarily
by asserting that life in the United
States has improved in the last two
and half years and will continue to
Improve IF l have anything to do
with it."
Mr.. Roosevelt promised that lavish
government spending was over and
that the nation could look forward
with assurance to a decreasing deficit,
and asserted that the government
credit Is higher than that of any other
great nation. He bitterly criticized
the treasury policies prior to his en-
trance into the White House, traced
the relief policies as opposed to doles
and declared that the peak of appro-
priations has passed.
The President said farm income in
the United States has risen since 1882
a total of nearly three billions and this
additional farm income has meant the
rebirth of city business, the reopen
ing of closed factories. the doubling
Of automobile production, the improve
ment of transportation and the giving
of new employment to millions Of
people,"
1.-The word progress" concluded
Mr.. Roosevelt, sis better word than
recovery, for it means not only
sound business and sound agricul-
ture from the material point of view,
but it means, with equal Importance, a
sound improvement In American life
as a result of continuing and forceful
effort on the part of our people, and,
through them, on the part of their gov
eminent. l am certain that that Is
your purpose; and that is why con-
tinue my confidence, my faith in the
people of America"
In those phrases and in his high
praise of the New Deal experiments,
the President made clear his intention
of carrying on his program for alter
ing and lettering the social and eco
nomic life of the American people re-
CARELESS of the return of material
prosperity.
Governor Talmadge of Georgia, who
though Democrat is severe critic
of the President and many of his poll
cies, pointedly absented himself from
the meeting in Atlanta, spending the
day on his farm. Several days later
he replied to Mr.. Rooseveit's speech in
q radio address.
Republican opinion of the Presi-
dents address might he summarized
in the remark of Harrison e. Spang-
Ter, director of the Chicago G. o. =.
Headquarters: "Gulliver has started
his travels again and We'll all be hear
ing some more tall stories"

German Pastors Rebel
Against Censorship

HANS KERRL, German church dc
L i tator, has stirred up another great
row by placing a censorship on the
Confessional synod to prevent the pas
tors from sending out communications
which have not received his approval.
The pastors resented this holly and
adopted the course of making all an
nouncements from their pulplts rather
than in pastoral letters first submitted
to Kerrl. The preachers also told
their congregations frankly just what
they thought of Kerrl and his orders.

the amount harvested this year.
After appraisal by community COM
mittees and review by county allot-
ment committees, a corn acreage base
and a market hog base will be fixed.
Cooperating producers must agree to
plant corn next year on at least 20
per cent of their base acreages. They
will be permitted to retire from
10 to 80 per cent Of their base acreage
for soil-improving or erOsion-preventing
purposes. Hog growers must agree
to produce between 80 and 100 per
cent of the base market production.
The 1896 corn adjustment payment
will be IS cents a bushel on the ap-
praised yield times the adjusted acre
age, less the pro rata share of local
administrative expenses.
Corn adjustment payments will be
made in two installments. The first,
at the rate of 20 a bushel, is to be
made about August l. The second will
come due about December 81, 1896, at
the rate of Is cents per bushel.
A payment of SIPS per head will
be made on each hog in the base.
Deductions will be made at the rate
of $3.50 per head If a producer fails
to raise 80 per cent of his base num-
bers. The total payment to pro-
Queer will be the same for produc-
ton ranging from 80 per cent to 100
per cent of his base.
The 1897 rates will be announced
by November 80, 1885, but the rate on
corn will not be less than 80 cents
per bushel and the rate on hogs will
not be less than SIPS per head.

FARM TAXES

A d VALOREM taxes on farm lands have
L 4 been substantially reduced in recent years
Tax delinquencies spread as the depression
deepened forcing state and local governments
to look elsewhere for revenue. In many states,
to stop tax sales of farms. exemptions have
been granted to the smaller homesteads.
In 1888, farm taxes in IS states averaged
80 cents an acre, the lowest acreage levy since
1918, or 81 % for each 500 of estimated value,
the lowest since 1929 in relation to land values.
Yet in 1885, farm taxes still averaged 122 per
cent above the 1913 level, while farm prices
were about 30 per cent below the 1913 level.
Since the government does not tax land, it
can do little to tighten this part of the farm
ers tax burden except to refrain from infring
ing upon the other sources of revenue to which
state and local governments have turned.
For example the government can keep out
of the general sales tax field already pre-
empted by many state governments, and the
government can withdraw from gasoline taxa
ton which has enabled state governments to
lift road bond indebtedness from the backs of
farmers.

THE NRA BOARD

THE partial and temporary reorganization
Il of the NRA board announced by the
President is only OF minor importance-it
could not be otherwise. The important ques-
ton is the future OF NRA. That can not be
decided by the Administration, which, like the
country. must wait for Congress to make up
its mind
Meanwhile. it is necessary for the present
NRA organization TO carry on. That is some
what difficult. Several of the board members
are anxious TO resign and return to their pri-
vate Jobs Moreover. adverse court decisions
and general uncertainty regarding the future
or NRA have produced an inevitable let-down
in code enforcement throughout the country.
Under the circumstances. the President has
taken about the only course open to him as
a temporary expedient. That is to name
Donald RichberE hitherto the power behind

ily had fed in panic and the great gospel Of
nlilitarism was completely discredited. II was
not merely possible TO build an era Of enduring
peace and understanding then; the plain peo-
pie Of all countries wanted il desperately. But
the peacemakers deliberately chose the op-
posite course.
The Versailles treaty embodied that choice.
Il created situation which could not possibly
be permanent. And the victors, by refusing
even 10 listen 20 any suggestions that the
treaty be modified, made it inevitable that
those who felt i 70 be unjust should look to
var as their only hope.
The whole record Of human history con-
tains few instances Of greater folly than this.
Where countries are packed together as
closely as they are in Europe, it is insane TO
suppose that any system which creates hatred
and suspicion and perpetuates resentment can
lead in any direction except toward war.
Germany's remuneration of the treaty was
ONLY matter Of time. If the war which this
step seems to foreshadow is to be averted, the
nations which dictated the treaty must pre-
pare 10 work out a plan TO settle Europe's
troubles By Cancellation instead of by
repression.

LAST PLACE FOR POLITICS

WHEN the national government furnishes
w unemployment relief on a nationwide
scale. It is Of the highest Importance that the
relief machinery be kept on non-political
basis. The one objectionable sin would be
for any politician to pervert portion Of 1t to
serve his own ends.
That the government is doing its best to
keep its hands clean in this respect is evil
denced by recent happenings in Ohio.
The Ohio Governor not long ago made
bitter attack on the relief set-up in his state,
charging that it was wasteful and inefficient
Abundant evidence was Immediately offered
to disprove his charges; but he persisted,
and the suspicion arose that what he really
wanted was a chance to staff the relief agen-
cies with his own political appointees.
Now Relief Administrator Hopkins has
struck back. The Governor stands accused Of
having permitted "shakedown" of business
men who deal with the state relief commits
sion: and. in all, he is in a great deal Of ex-
tremely hot water.
This particular effort to lay political hands
on the relief machinery has brought its author
nothing but trouble.
