G. O. P. ACTION

Two significant items of news
emerged from the recent meeting
here of the Republican Executive
Committee. One was the positive
assurance, conveyed to the COM
mittee by Lawrence Richie and
others closely associated with Mr..
Hoover, that the former President
is not a candidate and does o de-
sire to be considered. The other
was the suggestion put forward
hat the Republican National Con-
vention of 1886 should be held
after the Democrats have held theirs
reversing a custom of more than
Is years. This would give the
Republicans a target to shoot at.
With Mr.. Hoover out of the
running, talk of Republican can
didates focuses even more strongly
upon Col. Frank Knox of Chicago,
Senator Borah of Idaho and Gov
Landon of Kansas. Mr..
Hearst's announced preference for
Governor Landon may or may not
be put forward as a generally &C
ceptable compromise candidate. 1t
is, however, a long time from now
until the nominating convention
and anything may happen.

In. All Areas
Meat Prices Drop Slight
ly During Two Weeks
Period Ending Sep
TENDER 24th.

Washington.-A retail food price
rise of one-tenth of one per cent
during the two weeks ending Sep
TENDER "a was reported by the bur-
eau of labor statistics.
The fractional increase was at
tributed largely to a marked ad-
vance in egg prices in all areas. OF
the 4S foods included in the in
dex IS showed increases, 20 de-
creases, and IS nj price change.
The current index, 124 (based on
100 for 1919 is. 6.6 per cent high
er than for the corresponding period
of last year. The prices as compar-
ed with last year range from 4 per
cent higher for cities on the Pa
cihc to 81 per cent in the South
Atlantic region and 10 per cent in
the east north central cities.
During the two-week period meat
prices wer reported off three
tenths of one per cent. A drop of
1917 per cent in the price of fresh
milk in St. Louis was cited as re-
sponsible for a drop of one tenth
of one per cen in the dairy prod
ucts group. Butter and cheese prices
increased three tenths and four
tenths of one per cent respectively.
Although the advance Of 2.3 per
cent for eggs was reported as sea-
sonal, the present level of egg prices
was said to be higher than in any
September period since 1880.
The fruit and vegetable group
showed a price decline of two
.tenths of n per cent.
With increases reported in 81 Of
the 81 cities included in the gen
eral index, average retail food
prices were higher than on Sep
TENDER 10 in five of the nine geo.
graphical areas. The city price
changes ranged from increases of

the State amount to $9,240,983 by
the WPA.
Just what will be done to rush
employment remains to be ssen be-
cause with declarations of the Pres
ident that industry must absorb
more idle men and that State allot-
ments for relief must end soon, the
question that arises is what is te
be done with the unemployed If
the State until plans for WPA job:
have been completed.
Throughout the entire country
only 1929 have been put tc
work on WPA projects, though the
total allotment is enough to carry
two millions on payrolls at once.
At the WPA offices, State admin
istrators are being urged to rush
work as much as possible and to
begin to get wages owing by cold
weather. 1t is now six and a half
months since the works-relief bill
was passed, and a week of the
PWA's time to get its millions

FOOD PRICE INJURY.

Washington has been hearing
from consumers, and their vigorous
protest ::ga,nst the Ring costs OF
food s,affs are going '.rheeded.
The resident hircsel: oraered the
Federal Trade Commission to begin
a searching inquiry into living
costs.
Another move which is under
serious consideration by the AAA
is the proposal of legislation which
would put the milk supply of cities
on the basis of a public utility, and
subject to rigid state and federal
control. This has been talked of
before, but now the talk seems
serious.
The Presidents statement on the
1886 budget, coupled with the
promise of a determined effort to
reduce governmental costs for the
next fiscal year is further calculat-
ed to strengthen the Administra-
tons position. MI. Roosevelt as
sured the nation that new taxes or
permanent increase in personal tax
rates will be necessary, unless the
Supreme Court should declare the
processing taxes, levied under the
AAA, to be unconstitutional. The
promise and the expectation are that
relief expenditures by the Federal
} Government will be reduced rapid
/ ly, and a much larger proportion
relief costs will be shifted back
to the states.

Anyone who looks upon the acts
and utterances of the Administra-
ton and its spokesman, from now
on, as moves toward the political
objective of rejecting Mr.. Roose-
Welt in 1886, will not be very far
out of the way. 1t would be put
ting it too strongly to suggest that
the Administration is on the de-
fensive, but it is laying itself out
to Justify its acts and policies to
the voters.
Mr.. Roosevelt made out a pretty
i. good case for the AAA in his
Speech at Fremont, Neb. While he
did not say it in so many words,
the clear implication is that if the
Republicans have any hope of
carrying the states of the Middle
West, they have got to offer some
program for the benefit of the
farmer that will match the benefits
the farmers have received from the
AAA.
One of the chief criticisms of
AAA has been aimed at its policy
of crop reduction, and especially
the killing off of young pigs.

for a new system of agricultural

ANNUAL RED CROSS
R0LLCALLPLANNED
Mrs. Donald Tiffany Heads
Drive in Redwood Falls;
Svenning in County

Plans to bring the Red Cross
membership appeal to Redwood
Falls citizens were formally
launched this week with the ap-
pointment of Mrs. Donald Tiffany
IS chairman for the city's roll call
drive. Details of the campaign
were discussed with R. T. Schaef-
fer, field representative from the
St. Louis area office, who visited
Redwood Falls to confer with Red
Cross officials in the county.
"The dates for the city cam
paign will coincide with the ma
tional period of the Red Cross roll
call held annually between Armis-
tiae and Thanksgiving" Mrs. Tiff
any stated. In Redwood Falls the
plan is to organize the drive
thoroughly and to enlist sufficient
workers so that the actual solici-
tation will not require more than
three days. The exact dates of
this concerted campaign will be
announced soon, the chairman
said, with the names of district
captains and workers who will be
responsible for the solicitation of
both residence and business Sec
tions.
Similar plans for the drive are
proceeding throughout all parts of
Redwood county under the direc-
ton of w. N. Svenning, general
county chairman. Every town and
the rural districts are being or
ganized under separate drive
chairmen, according to Mr.. Sven
ming, so that a personal solicita-
tion of every adult in the county
will be possible.
Redwood county has been as
signed a goal of 1900 members
with Redwood Falls set at 400
memberships.
