SUCH INSTANCES As THIS
DTSCREDTT RELIEF SYSTEM

State Relief Administration headquar-
ters at Salinas has issued orders to in
clude striking lettuce workers on relief
rolls. The order included proviso stlp-
ulating that if strikers were offered
the opportunity to take other work
through the Works Progress Admins
tration on road construction or other
projects, and refused, they might be
refused further relief.
Something is decidedly wrong with
the picture of relief administration in
Salinas, and one does not have to look
for to see what it is. Direct relief, the
American public has been told, Is for
those who are unable to work because
of physical disability. Work relief, on
WPA, is for those who cannot obtain
employment in private industry. II
either of those requirements fits the
striking lettuce workers. then you're
reading treatise on theological semi
naries, not an editorial.
The sort of vicious circle set up in
Salinas is the sort of thing which re-
fleets on the relief administration, re-
gardless of its many fine points. SRA
is supposed to care only for those phys
ically unable to work, yet not one of
the strikers is so afflicted. So they
should be referred to WPA. In turn,
WA dnIl0unceu pollCy 10 " IeiuoS
relief to those who refuse private en-
ployment, and strikers in Salinas ARE
refusing private employment. So, II
WPA honors its own policy, it will re-
fuse work to those who refuse to work.
Such is not the case in Salinas, evident
ly.
The point might best be made if we
allow our imagination to run riot Tor
a minute Suppose every laborer in Cali
fornia went on strike. Then, If we are
to follow the Salinas precedent, the re-
lief administration would furnish food
and lodging to every laborer in Califor-
mia. After all, what is the use for any
one to work? Let the government do 1t!
Giving our imagination still greater
scope, suppose every laborer in the Unit
ed States went on strike, and the same
system prevaile ed Somewhere in
that scheme there is something wrong.
Precedent set by the relief admins
tration headquarters in Salinas, 1t IS
to be hoped, will not be taken as rule
for the administration guidance IN
other places.

LANNON'S FARM POLICIES


II am far more interested in seeing farmers
paid for growing the things we know We need,
than in paying them for not growing the things
we think don't need.
Taxes add to the cost of everything, and the
farmer is SO situated that he cannot escape
their penalty Further. the taxes reduce the
ability of the consumer to buy the produce OF
the farm. The republican party proposes to
put an end TO the present waste and extra
vagance.
If I am elected, I shall fulfill all outstand-
ing obligations made by the present admins
tration with the American farmer
7 favor protection D. the family-type farm.
This philosophy runs like thread through the
Republican platform 1t is in keeping with AM
cream tradition which is based upon preserving
individual opportunity.
After being in power for nearly four years,
the administration IS still without a settled
workable, national policy for agriculture.
Like the automobile manufacturers the ad-
ministration believes in bringing out new
model (of farm relief every year.
The program we propose will make un-
necessary giving away the equivalent of 25,-
100000 acres to foreigners.
1T no longer will be possible for a corpora
ton farmer TO rent government controlled In
dian land and get S51, 900 subsidy, garbage
feeder to get 100 times as much as a good corn
belt farmer.
The program which We propose for Amer
ican agriculture follows in the same burrows
that were ploWed at the meetings OF the corr
belt committee in Des Moines 1t offers prac-
tical means to attain tnat which we have
been seeking-a free and independent agricul-
tur.
If history teaches us anything, it teaches
that the stability of civilization depends upon
ownership of land by he man who works the
land.
We have learned from painful experience
that the overfilled crib may quickly become the
empty crib. 1t is to the advantage OF both the
producer and the consumer-and the farmer IS
both when it comes to feed crops-that these
conditions be eveneo out as much as possible.
1T is our conviction that it is the duty OF
the government to preserve the family type OF
farm for all tisne-preserve It as home and
as a source of livelihood
Security of our social and economic system
rests upon our having millions and millions Of
industrial farmers and home owners

NEW YORK, Oct 1O.-When a
big liner has docked during the day
I like to go down to the piers around
dusk to watch the crew fellows, all
prinked up, come ashore for an
evening in town. They are mannerly,
seemingly content to walk the
streets two and four abreast just
looking.
Nest of them, too, seem under
sized, with milky compilations, oddly
cut clothes and bad teeth. They are
full of salutes and have delightful
way OF expressing themselves They
never talk to strangers unless ap-
preached, and then seem pleased
to converse.
The majority are victims of the
cheap water front barbers-haircut
and shave 20 centS-and are turned
out with ramifications of the bowl
style of cutting. AS result they
suggest picked chickens and are
compelled to bear the atrocity for
weeks.
Then. too. there are the pert
manicure girls and the smartly
dressed managers of the speciality
shops aboard ship All are accom-
plished linguists. Most of them, I
hear are happily married. And the
Romeos who expect them easy pick
ups find something else again.

The Democratic Viewpoint

Committee
By WALTER S. CAHALL

have had some very interesting experinces
with both and women VINO attempted TO
criticize bills passed by the present administra-
ton. The efforts Of these critics would be very
amusing were they not SO tragic. usually
let the critics talk, condemning this or that,
then after listening to all they. have to say, l
ask: Did you ever read the bill you criticiz-
ing?" I have yet to find a single critic who
could reply in the affirmative.
About year ago when the discussion of the
Holding Company Act was at Its height
my next door neighbor said to me: "WhatinhellS
the matter with this guy Roosevelt? What's
the idea of killing all the Public Utilities?' I've
got some UGI. shares that won't be worth
DAM
said to him: Charlie, it is evident you've
been reading the Death Sentence propaganda
put out by the Republican Press. It is equally
evident you haven't read the Dill you are TAX
about. The bill doesn't put Public Utilities out
of business at all 1t eliminates, after seven
years, unnecessary holding companies which
set up for no other reason than to enable
greedy executives to obtain bigger and better
salaries. These unnecessary holding companies
increase costs to the consumer and make stock
holders earn smaller dividends" He didn't
know that. Now he is for the bill instead OF
being against it, Another friend was condemn
ing the TVA He said Il don't see why the
government wants to get into the power busi-
ness. They're doing it just TO hit the Utilities
I said to him: DO you realize that the Ten
nessee Valley Authority is far more than just
a power project? It is helping more than mil
lion farmers in the Tennessee Valley improve
their crops 1t nSlpS IN lerullZdIlOn OF SOL Dy
making phosphates. 1t improves animal and
dairy husbandry 1t makes nitrates for use
in case of war. It helps in flood control And,
even if it didn't do all these things don't you
think our own government has the right to
know what is going on in one of the biggest
phases of industry we nave one that mas
no competition and can do pretty much as 1t
pleases unless it is regulated in the interests OF
the public? After all it has proven by private
companies that electric power can be produced
proftably for about one fourth of what the
utilities charge for it, He said he'd never
thought of it in that light and admitted he
had been msled by the Republican Press
Still another was condenning the AAA. He
said it was class legislation and should never
have been permitted. 1 said if it was class
legislation what was the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation; what the Beet Sugar Act,
both passed by a Republican administration.
Both acts help distinct classes. One helped the
beet sugar industry in Colorado, the other help
ed railroads and banks. He said then 1t was
wrong to take away from to give to an
other. replied that any one could take fifty
cents out of my pocket if they put a dollar
back.
Hence you can run the whole gamut Of
bills passed by Roosevelt along the same lines.
You find many who criticize but very,
very few who analyze.
