H0NORED BY FEC. CHIEF

6y tne Associated Press.
Paying tribute to the memory of
Grover Cleveland, George Henry
Payne, Federal Communications Com
missioner, said last niht conservatives
as well as progressive could honor the
one-time President, for "his honesty
was never questioned nor his devotion
to the people"
In q radio address marking the goth
anniversary Of Cleveland's birth,
Payne recalled that when in office,
Cleveland slipped away on friends
yacht to have an operation performed
without an anesthetic.
For reasons Of state" Payne said,
"he felt that thi critical moment in
his life should be concealed from the
public, and throughout the country
his enemies hurled insults and threats
at him because 1t was popularly be-
lieved that he had gone OF on a fishing
trip at the time Of q great crisis"

BUS FUND SLASH
CUTS OFF PUPILS
100 Physically Handicapped
Children Affected-More for
Relief Under Way.

The Budget Bureaus refusal to ap-
prove request for a $4,000 supple
mental appropriation resulted today in
depriving more than 100 physically
handicapped school children of their
customary bus transportation.
The effect of the Budget action was
reported to the Board of Education at
yesterdays meeting by DR.. Frank W.
Ballou, superintendent of schools.
Measures were taken to relieve some
of the hardships imposed on the chill
dren by the Budget order, which went
into effect this morning.
Under the curtailed program, all the
43 sight conservation pupils, 26 Grip
Piled children and As tubercular chill
dren. were ordered removed from the
regular bus routes and the bus trips
shortened accordingly.
The tubercular children will be given
carfare tickets instead, while the sight
conservation and crippled children will
be accommodated only if their parents
bring them to centrally located spots
to be picked up by the buSses. In some
cases, it was said, parents will have
to travel as much as two miles to reach
a pickup station.
The explanation given for the bud
get cut was that the bureau believed
funds would be available to the Dis
trict for the purpose under the social
security act. DR.. Ballou informed the
board the reorganized program was
decided on when Maj. Daniel Dono-
van, District auditor, informed him
such funds for transportation prob
ably would not be available.
The situation confronting the ham
dicapped children will be brought to
the attention of the Commissioners.
At yesterdays board meeting a life
sized portrait of DR.. Ballou, done last
Summer by a P. w. A. artist, was
hung on the wall of the board room
for a two weeks trial" exhibition.
Criticisms of the portrait are invited.
For months, the portrait has re-
posed in a dark corner, some of the
board having disagreed over the merits
of the painting. The results of the
trial" exhibition, it was believed,
would furnish evidence to determine
whether it should be hung permanent
ly in the board room.

The period Of greatest growth in the
direct selling Of hogs in the United
States occurred from 1924 to 1888.
During that period, the portion Of the
hog crop sold direct rose from 22.05
to 43S5 per cent.
During these ten years, packers
margins, represented. by the spread
between live hog prices and wholesale
prices of hog products at Chicago,
maintained a fairly steady level. The
minor a~uctuarions which occurred
were due to changes in the cost OF
processing and distributing meats, in
Guiding expenditures for labor, freight,
rents, taxes, materials, etc. In 1882
and 1888, when these costs tended to
diminish, packers margins narrowed
correspondingly, yet during this period
direct selling was at its highest level.
The significant point is that the in
crease in the percentage of hogs sold
direct to packers has not reduced re-
turns to hog producers. Since the gen
erel level of wholesale meat prices is
governed by the purchasing power Of
consumers, the only way that direct
cling could have reduced returns to

g belief has arisen that the direct

proportion of low-grade hogs received
at central markets.
In order to ascertain the facts, the
United States Bureau Of Agricultural
Economics sent a group Of investiga-
tors to 1872 markets in is leading hog
producing States in 1888. Working in
all types of markets, these inyestiga-
tors classified nearly 100000 hogs as

causing 3 widening of packers mar
gins. That it has not done so is Illus
trated by the chart, data for which
were provided by the Bureau Of Agri
cultural Economies Of the y. S. De
pertmeDt Of Agriculture.
During the past year, four out 0
every five dollars of the packing in
dustry's income from livestock pred
ucts was paid out for livestock. o.
the fifth dollar, nearly half went int

plies, power, fuel, etc, and a fifth fol
repairs, insurance, depreciation, taxes,
interest, and other operating expenses.
This left available for profits only
about one-sixth OF a cent per pound
of livestock handed. Since It handles
a tremendous volume, the packing in
dustry can make a reasonable profit
even on a small margin per pound.
For the ten years from 1926 TO 1884.

imately 81 PR cent profit en- its in

porgxess in l935--as it has in all

Almost 5000 associations en-

had a total membership Of $780,
900 farmers and did a total vol
ume of business of $i.343,0 00,-
000--a gain Of l4.2 per cent
over 1884.
The largest number of cooper

Direct Selling Of Live*tok
Is Older II al the Pyramids

ing pioneer days, and, generally speak
ing, it followed the pioneer from the
Atlantic to the Pacific Coast, in which
latter region il il still the dominant
means Of marketing cattle, hogs and
sheep.
About the time Of the Civil War, the
development Of railroad transportation
Of livestock was one Of the principal
factors which brought about the birth
Of central livestock markets located in
large cities at points where railroad
lines converged. The business Of
"droving" livestock, which had been
one Of the principal forms of selling
direct, began TO feel the pressure Of
railroad competition. AS the central
livestock markets grew, direct selling
became less prevalent until finally the
.centra! market system became the
dominant channel through which Corn
Belt livestock flowed on its way TO the
packing houses.
Throughout this period, however.
the ancient system Of selling direct
played an important role. Corn Belt
farmers have continuously been sell
ing hogs direct to interior packers
ever since hog production was first
established in these States on 4 com
mercial basis, some of them more
than 80 years ago. In the Southwest
and Pacific Coast territory, where the
central markets never became the pre-
yailing system, selling direct has
given convincing proof Of its ade-
quacy and efficiency as a method o.
marketing livestock.

SHIRLEY WILL STEAL

It's always an event when Shirley

to advance reports, when The Poor
Little Rich Girl" the tiny stars new
Fox hit, opens Sunday at the Kootenai
theatre, it will be something in way
of celebration, an epoch, new mile
stone in entertainment.
For. definitely, the talented Temple
miss is said to give the performance of
her life in this new film.
Add to the star and the cast mod
ern, stirring. romantic story and five
bubbling new song hits by those ace
composers, Mack Gordon and Harry
Revel, and you have few of the rea-
sons why The Poor Little Rich Girl" is
being hailed SO highly.
Shirley, of course, plays the title role.
She is seen as the daughter of Michael
Whalen, wealthy young business man
who is far too occupied making money
to devote much time to his daughter.
Shirley persuades her daddy that she
should be sent to boarding school where
/ she can associate and play with other
little children. Whalen agrees, but IN
stead Of attending to the task himself,
delegates Sara Haden to accompany
/ her to the school.
