very valuable political animals. As
demonstrated, they can be used for
almost any purpose to produce al
most any wanted result. Then, if the
publicity machine is available, the
results of the ballot can be spread
to the four winds and people be in
duced to jump on the bandwagon.
The favorite polling place for
roaming correspondents a few years
ago used to be the day coach of the
local train. Nowadays that isn't so
valuable what with automobile
transportation and hitch-hiking
According to accounts, the filling
station attendant is becoming the
great sounding board for the flower
classes" His opinion as a represent
alive of the working man is so
highly valued that, it is rumored,
oil companies have appointed their
attendants as first whisperers in a
whispering campaign.
The inquiring motorist asking
what the political situation is, may
be met with the reply that Landon
is being charged with being a tool
of the oil people but it amt so.
Some filling station attendants have
%blossomed forth with statistics on
how the MIRA ruined business and
how rs per cent of the textile in
dustry was forced into bankruptcy
by harsh d~ifferential wage standards
set by code authorities, it is reported.
1t just goes to show what a great
bunch of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
the American people are. If a guy
can be convinced that his neighbor
is going to vote for John Smith, he'll
vote for John Smith too just to be
on the winner. Betting on horse
races should afford valuable lessons
in practical democracy.

that the industry is still in no posi-

CONSTITUTION
REFORM MADE
FOR SOVIETS
Democratic Rights Grant
ed Include Free Speech
and Free Press

MOSCOW. June ~. (UP).-A
new constitution, providing sweep
ing social reforms and granting
Democratic freedom which the So
Wet Union has never known, was
approved by the presidium of the
central executive committee last
night. =,
The constitution grants the
right to vote to all persons over
10, with equal rights for women.
1t replaces the central eXecu-
tive committee, present supreme
governing body, with a chamber
of deputies consisting of 566
members. The exact number OF
deputies will be fixed later, based
on the population. :,
Complete freedom of speech
and press. formerly limited to
those not attacking the govern
ment, are ensured.
In addition it provides for elm
nation of francise distinctions
and free education for all.
Meetings, conferences and street
demonstrations may be held open
ly "for the purpose of strength
ening the socialist system"
The church is separated from
the state and schools, free to pur-
sue the purpose for which it is es-
tablished. Freedom of religious
cults and freedom of anti-reli-
gious propaganda are recognized
as privileges of the citizens.
A meeting of representatives of
all Soviet states was convoked for
Nov. 25 to discuss the new docu-
ment.
The constitution provides that
the power to govern shall belong
to the people, to be represented
by deputies. 1t reaffirms that the
economic basis of the L. S. S. R.
constitutes the socialist system of
economy and socialist ownership
of all means of production, which
resulted in liquidation of the cap
italist system.
The new law will permit small
scale private economy by indi-
vidual peasants and artisans,
based on personal labor and eff
fort, and eliminates exploitation
of other labor.

upon them to put up a proper
tiopate share of the costs. 1t also
demanded construction of public
works projects son their merits.
The relief plank also calls for
prompt determination and facts
concerning relief and unemploy-
ment.
On the subject of social secur-
ity, the platform proposes a sys-
tenn of old age benefits based on:
l. A pay-as-yOu-go government
policy which would require each
generation to support the aged OF
its generation.
.. Every American citizen over
65 wears of age to receive supple
mental payments necessary to pro-
vide a minimum income of sutfl-
cient scope to protect him or her
from want.
3. Each state and territory COM
plying with simple and general
standards to receive a graduated
contribution in proportion to its
own.
4. To make the program meet
sound fiscal policy federal reve-
nues would be obtained from a dl-
rect tax widely distributed on all
people.
The platform condemns the
New Deals unemployment insur-
ance and old age pension program
as unavoidable and one which will
deny benefits to two-thirds of the
nations people.
The labor plank is brief. 1t
states that the welfare of labor
rests on increased production and
prevention of workers explolta-
ton. The plank guarantees the
right of labor to bargain collec-
lively through representatives of
its own choosing.
On the constitutional question
raised by the supreme courts de-
cision in the law affecting mini
mum wages and hours, the plat
form advocated support for
adoption of state laws and inter-
state compacts, abolition of the
sweat shop and child labor and
protection for women and chill
dren in hours, wages and working
conditions.
1--WE believe this can be done
within the constitution as it now
stands" the platform said, using
almost the exact language ex-
pressed by Senator Borah.
The committee tossed out Sem
ator Borah's drastic monopoly
plank, but strongly pledged the
party to "employ the full powers
of the government to the end that
monopoly shall be eliminated and
that free enterprise shall be fully
restored and maintained"
There was no mention of Sen.

holding companies beyond the sec

FORESEE GAIN
IN TANK farm
PRODUCTION
Many Vegetables Grown in
Water by Providing
Necessary Food

BERKELEY, Cal, June II. -
CUP)-Experiments completed by
the University of California dem
onstrate that it may be possible
in years to come to grow crops
on a large scale the year around
in electrically heated tanks.
A nation without soil is entire
ily possible, from the viewpoint OF
agricultural Sustenance, according
to the university's agricultural eX-
perts. Experiments to date have
shown that tomatoes, potatoes, 20
bacco, flowers and many vege-
tables can thrive in electrically
heated tanks.
The crops produced were plant
ed in tanks of water kept at grow
ing temperature day and night By
electric waves. Plant food was
furnished by chemicals put in the
water. The crops thrived almost
magically.
Tomatoes grew in huge clusters
of a dozen, every blossom result
ing in a tomato.
CHOICE TOBACCO GROWN
Burleigh tobacco, a rather ordi-
nary grade, grew Is feet tall and
the leaves were of fine enough
texture to meet the demands OF
imported grading.
Potatoes grew at the rate of
800 sacks an acre instead Of 200
as on land and were of fine, large
grade. The buds blosSomed at an
almost magical rate.
1t has been demonstrated that
the "tank farms" could be even
kept inside as treatment with
shortwave light produces plant
color equal to sunlight. The tank
farm" also has the advantage OF
doing away with bugs and plant
disease that come from the soil
Potatoes that were grown IN
treated tanks outdoors had some
insects, but not enough to create
an obstacle as the. tubers are de,
clared to have grown so fast that
they left the bugs behind"
The "tank farms" also have
demonstrated another great ad
vantage in harvesting. Instead oil
digging potatoes, all that it is nee
essary is to lift the potatoes out
of the tank, shake the water off
and they are ready for the over
without even having to be washed
five ACRES UNDER GLASS
One of the tank farms" now
being operated is at MontobellC
where five acres of plants under
glass are being grown IN a soil
less experiment.
At Berkeley, the tomato plant:
grew to the top of the hot house
and had to be cut off. They pro
duced regular monthly crops.
Another experiment now being
conducted in Southern California
is that of producing large fruit
from a lemon tree out of season
by keeping it's roots at growing
temperature with electric waves.
The state agricultural experts
admit that despite progress made
the United States is still little
behind other countries in develop
ment of synthetic farming. Hol
land ard Denmark, they point out
already are well advanced, Hol
land especially is growing succu
lent feed for dairy cows in sheds
As result of the progress tina
has been made in the field of pos
Slbllities of synthetic farming, tn,
