SEC. WALLACE
DEFIED ON
POTATOES

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Wallace was
''dared" by an embattled gentle
man farmer here today when
copies of upstate papers arrived
Haunting advert isements for
"strictly illegal potatoes" from the
GeneSee Valley acres Of Porter r.
Chandler, cousin Of James W.
Wadsworth, Republican, represen-
tative from New York.
From a Park Avenue apartment,
MIR. Chandler announced that
"AAA or no AAA" he intended to
raise more than five bushels Of
vegetables without benefit of De-
partment of Agriculture contracts.
Mr.. Chandler, who when not eS
perimenting on his 200-acre farm
in York township, engages in a lu-
crative law practice here, stated
today:
"T'H do it once and I'll do it
again. I'm prepared for any
thing, even a term in the Mon
roe County Penitentiary, al
though my wife thinks it may
be Atlanta"
Hopeful that farmers in the
Valley will follow his lead in the
defiance of the potato clause of
the AAA regulations, Mr.. Chand'
Ter asserted that he is fully aware
Of the $1,000 fine for which he
may be liable in failing to ask
permission of Secretary Wallace
to grow potatoes.
When appraised Of the one
years imprisonment which may
be his lot for second offense,
Mr.. Chandler added:
"This is a matter of principle
and conscience"

DAVIS ASSAILS
UTILITY ACT

NEW YORK, Sept. II GN.SO.
AS the Securities and Exchange
Commission went on record as
prepared to welcome efforts of
utility holding companies to up
set the public utility holding act
of 1885, the American States
Public Service Company, through
John w. Davis, today charged
that the law violates the Fifth,
Eighth and Tenth Amendments
to the Constitution.
The petition of Anne erica n
States Public Service Company,
filed in Federal court at Balti-
more, states the company, now
being reorganized under the ma
tional bankruptcy act, would be
put to heavy expense and it's re-
organization possibly prevented.
This petition revealed the
strategy to be employed by the
electric power and light industry
in its first move to bring about
a test of the constitutionality OF
the utility legislation.
Robert E. Healy, a member Of
the Security and Exchange Com
mission, sounded that body's atti-
tude on the utility act in an
address before the fourth annual
convention of the Controllers In
Stitute of America.

Georgetown University will not
pay even 81 for the old Post

A rumor was spread today to
the effect that the Hilltop
school had agreed to purchase
the building for 81 and would
then rae it with view to util-
izing the granite for additional
buildings at the school.
A call to the university was
met with this reply from the
secretary to the rector:
There's nothing to that ru-
NOR. We have heard it before,
but it is unfOunded. We don't
want the old Post Office Build

had it, and we are not inter-

wealth far in excess of the off-hand estimate.
Rather close correlation was discovered be-
tween the income of the family and the value
of its supply.of direct or consumption goods,
the value of such goods normally being equiv
alent to the family income for period of not
less than six months nor much more than a
year.
The facts just mentioned justify one in
viewing with suspicion the estimate broad
cast over the radio. Clearly, if the assertion
that rs per cent of the people in the United
States don't own anything today" is correct.
most of the working classes in our cities and
the bulk of our farm population must be
propertyless Is this true9
The Census of 1890 reported 48,829, 92O
gainfully occupied persons. 1t may be true,
though it is by no means certain. that
100000 of these are now idle. That still
leaves $4,000, 900 at work. Presumably,
100000 of these would be comprised in
the poorest three-fourths. Most of those at
work are earning from $500 to $500 annually.
If movable consumption goods equal 60 per
cent of annual income. each of these 26, 100000

worth of such goods.
Do these figures conflict with common
observation Is the typical workingman's
home bare as barn, or is it we'll furnished?
Do the workingman and his family parade
the streets in tattered denims, or do they
dress so we'll that, in most cases, one must
look closely to distinguish the garb of the
"downtrodden" masses from that of the pros
porous business class. The answers are
obvious.
Doubtless many farm mortgages have been
foreclosed. However, the 1890 Census shows
that l,845,997 farms were free of mortgages.
Do none of these belong to the poorest rs
per cent of our population? In $780, out of
the 29, 9O4 ,663 families in the United States.
14,OO2,O74 were home owners. The median
value of the lO,5O3.386 non-farm owned
homes was $4,778, a considerable equity in
which doubtless belonged to the owners Is
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1935-10-06

none OF these homes the property of the
poorest three-fourths of our nhabitantse
In 1890, more than 40 per cent of all
American families owned radio sets. Have
these sets no value? Registration figures in
dicate that 25.OOO,OOO motor vehicles are in
use in the United States - five cars for every
six families. Are these all owned by the richest
fourth of the population
In New York State, deposits in savings
banks total more than SIS OOO, OO0O OO or more
than 81 600 for each family in the State Are
these deposits solely the property of the most
prosperous fourth OF our peoplea
Statistics say otherwise, for in 1888 New
York banks held more than 100000 savings
accounts, or nearly three accounts for each of
the 3, 1881 24 families recorded by the census
of 1890 as residing in the State. In the United
States as whole SO ,268, 900 savings accounts
averaged more than $500 each. When one con-
siders that there are four accounts for every
three families. it is bit hard to believe that
no considerable part of the aggregate belongs
to the poorest three fourths of our population.
American life insurance companies are hold
ing, mainly for the benefit of their policy
holders, some Sis 900, OOO, 900 of assets Thirty
per cent of the insurance in force in the coun-
try is of the group" or INDUSTRIAL variety
and presumably is held, in the main, by the
poorest three-fourths of the people This
81 500, 900, 900 represents an average of about
$500 for each family in the supposedly prop
ertyless group. In addition, of course. many
have taken out non-industrial policies.
Since dependable statistics are not avail
able, we cannot estimate the aggregate value
of stocks, mortgages, ETC., held by this class.
Undoubtedly, however, an army of retired
farmers own mortgages some small and
some large - another multitude of teachers,
stenographers, bookkeepers, clerks, etc, pos
sess few shares of stock in some corporation.
This evidence indicates that the ''conser-
vative statisticians" referred to in the radio
speech have been entirely too conservative"

third for its present worth to the owner.
Owners underestimate the total value of
their tangible belongings not only because
they rate them on forced-sale basis, but
even more because they forget their existence.
To prove this l will cite from my own expert
ence with the test above mentioned.

only as an aid to tax evasion. they
play part in the habitual under
estimation of private wealth.
Other reasons for undertaking.
our movable effects are that they
have practically no value as col
lateral for bank loans, and that
they bring but little return when
circumstances compel their sale
to the secondhand dealer.
If the value of consumable
goods actually shrank almost to
zero Immediately after their pur-
chase, it would obviously be the
height of folly to exchange good
money for them. From our stand
point as consumers, the true
value of disable goods lies in their
ability to meet our needs and
wants. A car that cost $1,000 and
still retains nine-tenths of its
power to satisfy our wants is, to
US. worth 800. even though the
secondhand dealer will pay only
