Farm Debt Adjustment Saves
Large Sum, Says Governor Cooney

HELENA, June 17.-Decision of tht
United States Supreme Court declar-
ing the Frazier-Lemke amendment tc
the national bankruptcy act unconsti-
tutional will increase the need of farm
debtors for voluntary adjustment OF
their debts through the aid of the coun-
ty farm debt advisory committees, in
the opinion of Governor F. H. Cooney
chairman of the Montana Farm Debt
Advisory committee.
The farm debt advisory committees
in the various counties of Montana are
not provided for by law but were set
up by appointment of Governor Cooney
and all adjustments are affected by the
committees through voluntary agree
ment between the debtor and his
creditors. By reason of the voluntary
nature of the work, the decision Of the
Supreme Court on the Frazier Lemke
act does not affect the status of the
committees
According to reports received by the
The Western news. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1933-current, 1935-06-20

state office of the committees, few
Montana farmers have filed under the
bankruptcy act provisions but it is
thought that great many farmers
were waiting for the decision of the
Supreme Court before taking any ae-
ton on their debt troubles.
All of the Sc county committees in
Montana are active in adjusting cases
of excessive farm Indebtedness at the
present time and will be glad to act
on any application presented to them
by farm debtors who have held off
pending a decision or the Frazier
Lemke amendment according to Gov
ernor Cooney.
County committees in Montana have
handled total of 167 cases to date,
involving more than million dollars
in original Indebtedness. Through the
efforts of the committees this amount
has been reduced more than 100000. 90
or reduction of DO per cent on the
original indebtedness according to re-
ports sent into the state office.

Safeway Store improvements.

The Safeway store in Libby has been
undergoing extensive alterations the

giving the store room much needed
additional space. The door at the main
entrance has been moved from the
center of the front to the south side.
This gives a much larger display win

one-fourth as much as Professor
Tugwell will spend in his orgy.
Other scheduled programs for ex-
penditure include:
Assistance to clerical and pro-
fessional workers-the white collar
folks.
Loans and grants to states, cities
and counties.
Development of new housing con-
Struction in cities and rural dis
tricts and general reconditioning
and remodeling of homes already
existing.
Extension and expansion of the
Civilian Conservation corps to a
maximum of six hundred thousand
workers.
Further public building construc-
ton but in a less extensive manner
than previously was attempted.
Ickes a Target
Although the President assured
congress that he himself would adj
minister the five billion dollar funo
and succeeded in quieting criticism
to some extent by the statement, Of
ficial announcement of the allot-
ment board shows the name OF
Secretary Ickes as chairman. Many
caustic darts were fired at Mr.
Ickes during the two months while
the public works bill was held up
in congress, because members die
not like the Ickes policy as public
works administrator. Of course, as
the set-up now stands Mr.. Walker
will determine the character of the
spending and Mr.. Ickes and his al
lotment board will determine how
much money each may nave. That
would seem to eliminate the causes
OF trouble experienced heretofore
by the members of congress and the
Ickes organization. Nevertheless
critics of the secretary have begun
to suspect something.
Mr.. Roosevelt has said in White
House press conferences several
times lately that he would permit
no delay in getting the spending
machinery in motion. He assured
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1935-05-09

the statements were distributed to-
gether and that afforded the butt
of the joke. .-.T
Bankhead's Idea
Senator Bankhead (Dem., Ala. },
of cotton production control fame,
has another idea for legislation.
This time the senator is seeking to
make it possible, he says, for every
tenant farmer to become a land
owner. He has legislation pending
in congress to carry out his pro-
gram and it appears now that it
may go through.
1t is proposed to create another
government owned corporation
which would have power to issue
one and a half billion dollars worth
of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. bonds.
These bonds could be sold by the
corporation and the proceeds used
to buy land for present landless far
mers. They would become owners
in name and would have the mill
stone of that debt around their

the country in his radio speech the
other night that his policy was to
be speed and assistance where the
money will do the most good. The
President certainly has made clear
that he is anxious to get things go
ing.
Abuses the Press
Newspaper correspondent report
ing Capital news had good laugh
the other day at the attempt OF
the Democratic national congress
ional committee to satisfy all Sec
lions Of the country in an an
nouncement made by the committee
respecting its organization. I can
conceive of no better way to tell
the story than to quote opening
paragraphs from four statements
issued simultaneously by the COM
mittee on the subject mentioned.
The paragraphs which follow are
taken from statements which were
delivered to my office in one en-
velope::
1.-The West will play an i'm
portant part in the direction OF
the campaign of the Democratic
national congressional committee,
now being organized by Chairman
p. H. Drewry of Virginia. Repre-
sentative Abe Murdoch of Beaver
! Utah has been selected as a vice
chairman of this committee, and
under plans proposed, will have
general supervision over the cam
paign in the West"
Pin the organization on for the
coming campaign of the Democratic
national congressional committee
the South will play very import
ant part. Not only is Congress
man P. H. Drewry of Virginia the
, chairman of this committee, but he
has selected other southern con-
greSsmen to aid him.
3-"Unless all signs fail, the Mid
die West will be an important bat
tie ground in the congressional cleo
lions of next year. Representative
p. II. Drewry of Virginia has rec
ognized this when, as chairman OF
the Democratic national congress
sional committee, he aided in the
election of Congressman E. B.
Grove, Ninth Indiana district, as
first vice chairman of the Demo-
cratic national congressional COM
mittee. Representative Grove will
have general supervision over DEM
ocratic campaign activities of con-
gressional candidates throughout
the central part of the country.
TN the reorganization of the
Democratic national congressional
committee Chairman p. II. Drewry
of Virginia has sought to give addi-

tional prominence to members from
the East. Representative William j..
Granfield of Massachusetts, has
been selected as one of the vice
chairmen and will have general SUI
pervision over campaign matters
throughout the North and East. As
ISOLATED with him will be Repre-
sentative William N. Rogers Of New
Hampshire, who has been named
a member of the executive commit
tee. Congressman Rogers represents
the district which boasts of Daniel
Webster, the great orator of one
hundred years ago."
Of course, it was intended that
the statements should be distribute
ed to correspondents from the var
ious sections of the country so that
western newspapers would have
been told how important their Sec
ton was and eastern newspapers
would have had information to the
effect that the eastern section was
all important. It was not an unus-
ual procedure, but it happened that

necks for twenty years if they sue
ceeded in earning enough income to
pay off the debt in that time. II is
true the measure would open the
way for land ownership and would
make the terms of ownership about
as easy as is possible when one
borrows another's money. Those
facts, however, do not remove the
conditions which a good many OBJ
servers hold are bad.
For instance, it is difficult to see
how the tenant can make a living
and sufficient profit to pay off the
debt to the government If he has
been unable to accomplish that
same purpose with money borrow
ed commercially.

THREE-RING CIRCUS

Washington-In the last two
weeks the National Capital has
been under the tent of a three
ring circus, if ever one existed. At
the Capitol building, there has been
fought among themselves and Re
pubhcans and independents sat on
the side lines and said "sic 'em" At
the other end of Pennsylvania ave-
nue., business activity has been
amazing. The President was begin
ming to start to commence to spend
five billion dollars. In between has
been the largest hangover of Easter
visitors the Capital city has known
In recent years.
MIR. Roosevelt, having complete
control of the largest sum of money
ever turned over to one man, has
been running his brain at lightning
speed to make good on his promise
that actual spending will begin in
two months. He has announced
that some sixty agents of the gov
eminent will participate in the
spending function but roosting on
top of the various spending groups
are to be three newly created
boards, each responsible to his di-
rection and each enjoined to bear
down in order that public works
and relief funds in his charge may
flow freely.
I hear general commentator of
the President for selecting Frank
G. Walker of Montana and New
York to head up the spending OPP
erations Mr.. Walker, a lawyer, is
experienced in a big business way
and is accepted everywhere as a
man with capacity to do the job.
The fly that is floating around and
threatens to get into the ointment,
however, is the existence of two
schools of thought in the admins
tration. This condition may undo
the good work which Mr.. Walker
is regarded as capable of doing.
President Will Guide
The -billion-dolla spending
machine will be guided first by the
President, second by Mr.. Walker
and third by the various agencies
now in existence. They are sup
posed to present plans and Mr.
Walker will be expected to analyze
and determine their values.
Prof. Rexford Guy Tugwell, UNI
der-Secretary of agriculture, will
have something like nine hundred
million dollars to spend in remaking
the rural districts of the nation in
job variously described as rural
resettlement" and other similar
shorttitles. This program contem-
plates expansion and intensification
of work now being done by the Ag-
ricultural Adjustment administra-
ton and the Federal Emergency
Relief administration, Including at
tacks on the problem of dust storms
and other types of soil erosion. AL
though Professor Tugwell has no
plans complete, he is working in the
direction of transplanting many
farmers from poor land where iv-
ing is hard to more fertile fields.
Under his Jurisdiction also will be
reforestation and a general examin-
alton of land uses.
A second agency that is new in
the current set-up provides for de-
velopment Of rural identification.
The third new spending movement
is directed at dangerous railroad
grade crossings. The funds that
will be set aside for these latter
