COSTLY EXPERIMENTS

1t can not be denied that experiments In 1arn
relief" have been costly to taxpayers and consum-
ers A recent report by one of the government
own bureaus raises the question of whether these
experiments have not been costly to farmers them
selves
A few days ago the bureau of agricultural
economics of the Department of Agriculture re-
ported the results of its study of the effects of the
now defunct AAA. One of its findings was to the
effect that the farm income from cotton during
1884 would have been as great or greater without
the AAA.
This same bureau report also showed that the
curtailment of crops had caused much unemploy-
ment among farm workers, and consequent great
increase in government expenditures for unemploy-
ment relief.
Figures complied from other government
source and published in the Chicago Tribune show
ed that ga per cent of the recent increase In farm
income came from crops not subject to production
control, while only SO per cent of that increase
came from controlled crops and benefit payments
These facts, which seem incontrovertible,
should cause thoughtful persons to wonder whether
the newly proposed farm measure, called the Soil
Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act would
not be as costly and fulfil cas- its predecessors
Besides being of questionable value, the new
measure its believed by leading legal authorities t"
be as unconstitutional as the AAA which 1t is do
signed to replace.-Monroe Enquirer.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
THE TAX ON, SURPRISES

In his message TO congress President Roosevelt
suggests sweeping revision of corporate taxation
with new and heavy levies upon undstributed
rrofits or what is more commonly known as sur
puses.
He suggests that present corporation income
and other taxes now amounting to about a billion
d,Iiars he repeated AS against this loss in gov
ornmental revenue it is estimated that the return
from the new tax, and the increased return from
income taxes as the result of larger dividends from
sr,,Ius distribution being paid by corporations,
would produce more than $l,600,O00,0OO.
TTndistributed profits, carried on the books of
,orotions as cash SURPRISES constitute the
sofntv valve of business against the pressure Of
rrofitless wears and economic upsets. They are

MANY HAVE QUIT TRYING

He came into the office to ask for enough to
buy a hot-dog for his dinner He looked as If ne
needed much more than that, lean, haggard, I'M
kempt, down and on the way out.
1t developed that he was somewhat profession

"It's this way" he explained, things kept on
breaking against me so that just guv up"
And in a crudey spoken word, he mirrored
the plight of multitude-those who "have just
guv up" quit fighting, longer try to be thrifty
and industrious and frugal and worth while.
Here is one of the long harvests of the period
of the depression, the blighting of individual get
p-and-getiveness.
Tens of thousands are on relief rolls because
they begged down when the water was no more
than ankle deep, gave it up an impossible joh

Thus have been wrought subjective injuries that

WIASHINGTON-Mr. Roosevelt
~ of all people, as some might
SAYS building himself repu.
tation as champion of budget
balancing.
Politically speaking. it is very
good medicine for him to be found
insisting on living up to his budg-
ct promises for the fiscal year
1867 while Congress balks and
squirms at his demand for the
necessary taxation.
Presidents customarily have
gained, popular strength in their
battles with Congress and in the
present case Roosevelt has a pop
ular one-budget balancing
with which to work.
OF course the budget isn't going
to be balanced right away. What
the president insists is that the
deficit be kept below that of
1886, now estimated at
$3.234.00O,000. About $1,10O,-
100000 of anticipated unex-
pended balances may already be
charged up against next years
deficit and to that must be added
an amount-currently guessed at
about S2,000,000,O00-for relief.
To avoid adding to those last
two figures, Roosevelt demands
that Congress raise S12O OOO, 900

PUBLIC NOT so FOOLISH
AS CONGRESS THINKS
By BRUCE CATION

The great American voter IS populaf'S
supposed to believe that the average COLI
gresham is a blockhead and nltwlt'
Meanwhile, most of us fail to notice that
the average congressman returns the cont
pliment, with interest.
That is to say, Congress, collectively
seems to feel that the electorate IS mace ui
principally of egg-heads who have to De
led in out of the rain by kindly policemen
For proof, consider the furry that has
swept through our congressional halls De-
cause of the suggestion that Congress vote
upwards of billion dollars in new taxes
The background of this request is per-
fectly simple. A soldiers, bonus law Is on
the statute boks. A new farm bill is also
ON the statute books, and the old one has
left behind it certain unacceptable obllga-
tions. Added up, these things will put the
bite on the treasury to the extent OF bill
lion or more.
Considering the fact that the budget has
been out of balance for something like
seven years, and that our national debt Is
higher than it ever was before, 1t is hard
to see how any legislator in his senses could
hold back when it comes to voting money to
pay some of these bills.
Yet the presidents suggestion that new
taxes be voted has aroused a perfect storm
of congressional resentment. Hearty con-
gressmen go about looking as if their best
friends had sneaked up behind them and
delivered collective kick where it would
do the most good ....
Why? Because this is a campaign year
Congressman must run for reelection thus
fall, and they don't like. to take into the
arena a record of having voted for new
taxes only six months before.
And that reluctance is the measure OF
Congress contempt for the intelligence OF
the American voter. J..
Why would any voter, old enough to DC
trusted out alone after dark, resent the
fact that this congressman had voted 1oi
new taxes at time when new taxes Weis
absolutely unavoidable? Isn't this coun-
try intelligent enough to realize that "
can't live on credit forever, and that Wha'
it buys has to be paid for sooner or later
The odds are that the country as a Who4e
does recognize the necessities OF the sltua
ton; that it will admire, and not condemn
legislators brave enough to face, tae. taets'
BY working themselves into. a, pane
about the supposed dangers of voting new
taxes in an election year, congressman slnt

ulation is made up chiefly of backward 1G
