Efforts like this to impede justice and prevent

NEWSPAPERS. OPINION
GOVERNMENT OR SELF CONTROL

A wear ago the Senate defeated number of pro-
posed amendments to the Agricultural Adjustment
Act (better known AAA), on the ground that
thew gave the Secretary of Agriculture dictatoria
mowers in alfSmatters pertaining to agriculture
Thew affected not only the farmers but all who
handled agricultural commodities.
Today the same group is hammering at the iegis-
Iative doors demanding even greater power for the
Department of Agriculture The proposed amend
ments would give the Secretary wider latitude m
his Interpretation of the intent of the AAA as wen
as added authority in enforcement OF Its PROVISIONS
The first amendment would allow the Secretary
to substitute commodity payments for the present
cash payments to farmers in the settlement for crop
reduction contracts. Farmers who reduce their coV-
ton acreage could be paid with corn or wheat or
with whatever agricultural commodity the Secre-
tary decided preferable.
The second amendment extends the licensing
power of the Secretary to include not only process
sors but everyone in any way engaged in the ham
ding of any agricultural commodity or product
thereof" 1t is carefully worded to get them all.
The Secretary would have full power to deter
mine conditions under which professors may ouy
from the farmer, to fix the price to be PAID, ana
the quantity to be purchased. II ne decldes tnat
The practical means of restricting producton o.
any commodity is by refusing 10 alloW the llIeh"e
to buy from farmers who have refused to sign
federal ALLEGATIONS or contracts he would be within
his authority under the proposed amendments
No one has as yet been able to fully picture the
far-reaching effects of this astounding proposed
law It contains many possibilities that carried to
their logical conclusion, would affect the economic
security of every man. woman and child in these
United States.
With the Secretary authorized by these proposed
amendments to demand and examine the books,
contracts and correspondence of every icensee and
every party to any marketing agreement both the
business man and the farmer would have the prl-
vacy of gold fish.
If the farmers and business men of America feel
that such departmental despotism, controlled and
enforced by federal political appointees is pretera-
BILE to self control it may become the plan for the
future. If, however, people prefer to retain
few of the liberties guaranteed them by their state
and national constitutions it might be well to get
busy at once and let their senators and congress
men know just what they think of this proposed
law-Cleveland Star.

SPRINGTIME VANDALISM

Deploring the obstructive admiration that leads
city dwellers to journey to the country IN the
springtime for the purpose of robbng the woods
of the blooms that come in profuson at this period
of the wear, the Chicago Tribune observes tnat 1.-The
time of the year has come when the annual effort
must be made to persuade people not to kill the
things they like
Emphasizing that most roadsides, along which
the vandalism is the worst, are either public parks
or private property, The Tribune points out that
while
There is common feeling that complete enjoy
ment of Towering field or woods cannot be had
except by personal possession of some of the flow
ers, yet it is an enjoyment which defeats itself.
Few of the wild plants survive when they have been
robbed of their flowers They are here one year
and gone the next.
The way to preserve them is to look, admire and
pass on Then the next fellow may do likewise
If this is true in the north it is far more so IN
the SOUTH where the woods and fields are like q
fairyland during the blooming seasons of dogwood,
azalea and the other beautiful Towering trees and
shrubs
Yet Che annual trek each spring of city folks to
the country to load up their automobiles with Wild
blossoms grows in size each year.
As mans destructiveness brought about the dis
appearance of most of the great forests that once
stood on Georgia SOIL the present-day vandals OF
spring flowers will soon rob the woods and heids IL
much of their beauty unless stop is put to those
who care not if they kill that which they admire
