lean years." The idea is to protect the
individual farmers income against
the hazards of crop failure and price
collapse; the consumer against short
ages of food supplies and against ex-
tremes of prices; and business and
employment through providing an
even flow of farm supplies and the es-
tabliShment of stability in farm buy
ing power"
This Is an ambitious proposal. OF
course there are countless questions
of technique and of procedure but
certain larger issues are of even great
er Importance. One is the extent to
which it is possible to provide effec-
tive insurance against the hazards of
crop failure. Experience with this
type Of insurance is available but the
proposal to extend it to the entire
country and ultimately TO many or all
crops is another matter. The caicula-
ton OF premiums and the form of the
reserves to be provided are two. but
only two. of the many problems 10
be settled. Perhaps these difficult mat
tiers can be worked out but il means
the addition of huge responsibilities
to our already overburdened federal
government. There is a grave danger
that its financial structure will be-
come too involved with such an addi-
tional task.
Insurance against price collapse is
quite impossible. Perhaps the actu-
aries can calculate crop risks. They
cannot with our present knowledge
forecast the possibilities of price
changes. This part of the idea is en-
tirely an illusion even as a matter
OF theory. If attempted it will be

Judge BroDne Has
House Guests

Judge and Mrs. w. S. Granting
of Miami are house guests !, OF
Judge Jefferson B. Browne at his
Air Station! Apartments. ~
Judge Granting, when very
young man, was State Attorney
for twelve years for the circuit in
which Monroe County was "a part
and they frequently visited Key
West.
He was always the house guest
of Judge and Mrs. Livingston W.
Bethel, who in turn were his
house guests when the Judge held
court in Miami.
Judge Granting was for a num-
Der of years judge of the Civil
Court of Record of Dade County,
but resigned few years ago to
return to the active practice of his
profession.
AS a judge he is well known to
many of the older citizens of Key
West. He will be in the city fo1

merely plan to give public assistance
when prices fall.
1t will be very easy for critics TO
attack the whole proposal and 10
point to the errors of judgment COM
Is::tted by the Federal Farm Board
and by the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration. II may be that the
plan Is advanced now as q political
gesture during the presidential cam
paign. But in fairness we should re-
member that all over the world there
are government efforts to aid agricuI-
ture. In our own country We tried il
under Presidents Coolidge and Hoo
yer. as well as more recently under
President Roosevelt. Thus far the re-
suits have been disillusioning but the
political pressure on any administra-
ton will be heavy. The vagueness Of
the Republican platform promises
show the uncertainty Of the leaders
of that party.
That the pressure to help the farm
ers is strong has been further evil
denced by the statements OF Cover
nor Landon. When President Roose-
veits announcement appeared he al
once gave advance publicity 70 a
paragraph in his address to be deliv-
cred IN which he also advocated crop
insurance. His complete address con-
tanned an extensive though far from
clear plan to aid the farmers in a
number Of ways. Unfortunately the
two candidates seem to be trying TO
outbid each other for the agricultural
vote.
Most basic of all is the question of
how far we are to go in giving public
help to different groups throughout
the country. Other groups have been
aloeo and the farmers demand that
tney also be assisted. When they argue
their case on that ground a reply is
difficult. Neither party has a clear
idea of just how far such help should
go and to what groups and in what
form. In the meantime we are aiding
the veterans with the bonus. the IN
employed and the aged with the So
cial Security Act. many industries
with the tariff and so on and on.
This much is clear. Our federal
government is taking on too many re-
sponsibilities and too rapidly. An eff
fective administrative organization
can be developed only slowly and
further additions at this time TO finan-
cial burdens will bring troubles. No
matter what may be the political
pressure or the merits of this new
we are not ready for il.

DISTRICT VOTE
BILL GIVEN
APPROVAL
BY A. ]. DRISCOLL
Citizens Association Editor


Reaffirming a former action in
support Of national representa-
ton for the District, The Wash
ingtonianS, at a meeting last night
in the Brighton Hotel, adopted
resolutions offered by Mrs. j. Ed
ward Reid, indorsing a bill by
Representative Norton which
would permit legal residents of the
District to vote for delegates to
national political conventions.
Miss Eta L. Taggart was named
chairman of a special committee
to petition the Federation Of Cit
izenS Associations to sponsor q
proposed aggressive campaign to
be waged for national representa-
tion in the House and Senate.
The group registered disapproval
to a bill by Senator Vandenberg
that would permit member of
the Board of District Commission
ers the privilege of seat in the
House of Representative. It ap-
proved a report from Milton H.
Howard, favoring the merger of
the washington and Georgetown
gas light companies.
Resolutions were adopted re-
questing the police for more rigid
enforcement of regulations which
prohibit the use of glaring lights
on automobiles and parking within
Is feet of street intersections.
The Commissioners were sup
ported in ordering suspension, for
a temporary period owing to lack
Of funds, of employees of the Dis
trict Relief Administration. It
was suggested in cases where both
husband and wife are employed,
either making salary of $2,500
or more, one be dropped from the
pay rolls.
In response to a resolution re-
queSting Congress to apply the
Capper- Cramton act to acquire the
old Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
for recreation purposes. instead
Of a proposed bypass through
Georgetown, Frederick A. Delano,
chairman of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission,
informed the association he knew
of no plans to turn the canal into
an automobile highway. He dis
closed the present plans call for
preservation of the canal as q
recreation waterway as part Of the
George washington Memorial
Parkway development between
Georgetown and Point Of Rocks.
The Washington Times was
commended for conducting
straw vote on the pending prim-
ary election bill.
