pensatiOn for restricting its plant
ing of cane. II was Senator Vanden-
berg who earlier startled the Senate
with disclosures of the enormous
sums paid in certain cases to farm
ers for not raising hogs or not plant
ing cotton, and who now produces
evidence of still greater abuse in
the matter Of sugar benefit pay
ments.
The Michigan Senator insists it is
the duty Of AAA to make public the
names of all farmers who have re-
ceived in excess of $4,000 in the
form of benefit payments, and the
amounts paid them. He maintains
this is information to which the
public is entitled. He contends that
Congress has a right to this infOr-
nation before 1t makes further lump
sum appropriations which the Sec
Tetary of Agriculture may disburse
under the new law, which gives him
an even freer hand than he had In
the past Under the original AAA.
benefit payments were determined,
presumably. according to fixed for
mulas. Under the new law no re-
striction whatever is placed on the
Secretary. He may distribute the
millions where he chooses, as he
chooses. and to whom he chooses,
without regard TO any rule. regula-
tion or other restraint. He is the
sole judge.
Milford chronicle., 1936-05-01

Last year AAA paid to beet-groW-
ing farmers an average of $40 an
acre whenever they subscribed TO
the curtailment program and Observ-
ed quotas fixed for them by the De-
paTtment of Agriculture.
This year, under the new AAA,
otherwise known as the Soil COnser-
vatiOn Act, beet farmers are to re-
ceive only $4.35 an acre on an aver
age. Where the beet grower is to be
paid 121s cents per hundred pounds
of sugar in his beets, the Southern
farmer is to receive S cents a pound
for his cotton. This explains the up
rising in Congress over the inter
probation of the new farm act by
Secretary Wallace. Beet growers
will be expected to observe the quo
tas which were fixed for them last
year. and to plant no more than
their assigned acreage. In addition,
they must agree TO plant one acre
in sOil-building crops for every two
acres planted in beets. in order TO
receive 1886 benefits.
In contrast to this treatment of
American beet growers, Senator
brings to light the fact
that one New York bank, contrOll-
ing a single sugar operation in
Puerto Rico, drew down over $780,
900 in benefit payments last year.
while a single Puerto Rican sugar
received 1861, 900 as COM

ROOSEVELTS CRAFTY MOVE
WOULD MAKE CONGRESS THE GOAT
President Seeking To Force Congress TO Now Assume
Responsibility For His Own Colossal Blunders

President Roosevelt has left Con
gress in another embarrassing posi-.
tiOn. Repeatedly he personally or
dered the adoption Of various public
work projects against the advice OF
government engineers; he set aside
millions Of dollars to begin con-
structiOn Of these projects. Now that
these projects are under fire, the
President has put It up to Congress
to decide whether they shall be nar-
ried to completion at a cost of many
additional millions, or be abandoned
in the early stages Of construction,
after only a few millions have been
spent.
Typical is the trans-FlOrida ship
canal. estimated to cost $147. 200. 600
President Roosevelt, himself, order
ed this project adopted and set aside
upwards of $5.OOO.OOO to commence
construction. Most of that money
has been spent and the President is
now asking Congress to apprOpri-
ate $12.00O,000 to carry the work
along for another year.
The House Of Representatives
fatty refused to make this apprOpri-
alton. II Congress ultimately pro-
vides the funds, which the House al
ready has refused. Congress must
share with the President RESPONSE

on the Florida canal. and the Presi-

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION FOR
PRE.SCHOOL CHILDREN

Pupils who will be enrolled in the
first grade of the Milford Public
Schools for the first time in Septem-
ber 1886, should be brought TO the
school building at Second and North
streets for a preliminary physical
examination by the state physician
and the school nurse on Friday. May
Sth. 1886. DR.. Smith will be at the
school all day for this purpose.
The preliminary physical exami-
nation is given at this time so that
children who are not now physically
fit for school attendance may be pre-
pared for it by September.
This also gives parents an OppOr-
tunity TO register their children.
We would appreciate at this time
parents giving the date of birth of
each child. The rule for entrance
is that pupils who are TO become six
years of age by January lst, 1897,
may enter school in September 1886.

a monument to ROOseveltian folly.
The same situation exactly exists
with respect to the PassamaquOddy
tidal power scheme in Maine, where
the President oVerrode his own tech
nical advisers and ordered the dams
and power plants built. He person
ally set aside $7,OOO,O0O Of relief
funds to begin construction. AL
though the PassamaquOddy project
has been shown to be utterly infeas-
ible, in that there is no available
market for the power, the President
has asked Congress to appropriate
s9.OO0.O0O to continue its construc-
ton. If Congress grants the money
Congress takes over responsibility
for this entire work and again lets
the President out.

The federal government has ex-
