Lest We Forget

There has been a newsTeel being
shown at the theatres over the coun-
try, where the officials at Washing
ton are stating that they have not
wastefully destroyed food in any
form.
We received a bulletin published
by the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, dated February 25, 1885, report
ing that they had purchased 8,285, ,738
head of COWS and little calves, and
that they condemned. shot down, and
left lying on the ground, 1,485, ,422
head of these cows and calves, as
food for buzzards, wolves and coy
otes.
For these staggering millions of
cattle, the federal government paid
S11O.931.0 .095.
The u. S. Department of Agricul-
ture threw away over 100000, 900 of
the peoples tax money in this crazy
effort to produce prosperity from
scarcity.
But they did not stop at destroy
ing cows and calves. They even de-
stroyed sheep and goats.
From the department Vi ASiACul-
ture bulletin comes this startling in
formation.
They either shot down or drove on
Of mountains to make them kill
themselves in the fall below 2,206,-
g61 sheep, and 24S,365 goats.
They paid out Of our tax money

NRA OR NOT!

Conferences have been called in
Washington next month looking tC
the creation of new legislation tC
supplant the N. I. r. A. Out ol
these discussions between Industry
and the Administration will come q
ACCESSION momentous in the future OF
the Nation-fOr If new legislation IS
sought it will be permanent ana
not temporary. as was the old act.
Public statements from industry
show almost a unanimity OF senti-
ment against further experiments
in the field of industrial control. Il
is less easy to gauge sentiment
among the smaller business houses,
the consumer, and labor. Yet no
further steps in the direction OF
curtailing states rights should he
taken until these millions who are
SD important are heard from.
II is difficult to believe that there
is any genuine sentiment in this
country for another NRA under a
different name. After the first blush
cf enthusiasm in the summer OF
1888, Wneu tue DUO Ed6A0 "oo ~
ing hign and everyone cOoperated to
keep it flying, defects in this foril
of Tegimentation became apparent.
Prices we're forced upward by arbi-
trary wage levels. 1t was found that
there could not be just a halfway
point in regimentatiOn. A country is
either frss or is eventually enslav-
cd, and the government fixes the
prices Of the pants presser in Pc"
dunk.
Since the NRA was dismantled by
the Supreme Court there has been
a steady increase in employment. In
fact. according to the National In
dustrial Conference Board, this inn
began late in 1884 when
the Blue Eagle began to lose its
grip upon the nations commerce.
All of these facts are part Of the
story. But they do not reveal ma
t'onal sentiment today. Would you
v ant a new NRA? Or not? Write TO
YOUR Congressman. your Senator. or
to the National Industrial Recovery
Administration in Washington and
make your views known.

WHAT DEMOCRATIC
EDITORS ARE SA YING
The AAA N Reverse

After using every means at its dis
posal to raise farm prices during the
last two years, the AAA has become
suddenly solicitous over the welfare
of the consumer.
Two years ago all .AAA energy
was devoted to encouraging the ten
denotes it now seeks to counter
act. .
There is nothing in the record of
the AAA 20 suggest that It will be
able to stabilize food production
successfully. Mere assignment of the
functions of a phophet to the Secre-
tary of Agriculture through the AAA
amendments will not make his guess
any more accurate fhan it was when
he ordered a drastic curtailment of
crops just before the worst drought
in our history.
Continuation of the AAA can be
justified only If the Government in
tends to maintain permanent control
over agriculture. It is a time to re-
vert to the operation of economic
law.
