BIG SHOTS GOT CHECKS

Quite a c0mmOtlOn has been caused
by demands that the Department of Agri-
culture reveal the names Of persons who
received large AAA checks during the
last two year>, and according to the United
states News, officials are thinking fast
to find reasons why this information mould
not be made public"
The same paper is informed that
many prominent individuals in the IegiSla-
tive, executive and judicial branches of the
government would be found to have re-
ccivcd these farm. relief checks if list
of beneficarieS were published.
Senator Vandenberg of Michigan de-
clared that while the average hog benefit
payment in Iowa was under $500, he knew
of one beneficiary who received S219,825
for not raising hogs. He also stated that
although the average cotton contract
yielded under 81 800, one large landowner
received $l6S,000 for not planting 1000
acres.
One reason for the objection of Off
Gals to publishing the list OF big check
payments is said to be that such publica-
ton would stir up strife between tenants
and landlords. especially in the cotton
belt.
The new farm program is not meet
ing very hearty response, and Secretary
Wallace is warning against new Surpluses
if farmers do not cooperate Some ex-
perienced observers predict that the new
soil conservation" scheme will have little
effect, except to saddle another half bill
lion dollars upon the backs of the tax
payers. In any event, the big fellows who
need it least will get the lions share of the
money, as heretofore.

SCHOOLS AND BUSINESS

Criticism has been heard from time
to time because of the cooperation of
groups of business men with schools and
colleges in the revision of textbooks.
The critics assume that the interest
of business men in the matter is entirely
selfish and actuated by desire to direct
The thought of students along lines in cor
formity with big business. The business
men declare that they only seek to bring
the textbooks up to date.
The subject is ore of great Importance
and one concerning which it is not safe tc
jump at conclusions. Certainly it is in the
interest of the students, as well as in the
interest of the public, that they should
have accurate information il their text
books.
The United States Bureau of Educa-
ton in an official statement said some
time ago:
In the past many textbooks for COM
mercial subjects have been prepared by
authors whOse business experience, if any,
was not sufficient to enable them to re-
cord accurately the practices in business
As a result OF research 1880 corrections
were made and reported to 26 publishrs
Of the text The responses from the au-
thor' ard publishers have proved the
worthines; of business mems efforts to
put commercial education on fact basis.
No reasonable person could object 10
UGH cooperation between business men

made, from whatever source, to inject pre-
JUDGED matter into school books that
halt should be called Each case should be
considered on its merits, and wholesale

real purposes sought, is unwarranted and

WHEN THE SUN COOLS

For many years astronomers have
Specuated regarding the possibility that
some day the sun will have exhausted its
heat and become cold
DR.. f. Z. Trevine. president of the
Mexican Astronomical Society, is one who
holds this view. and points out that thou
sands of now extinct suns are known to
have existed in the dim past. In lectures
at the University of Edinburgh, Prof. A.
S. Eddington also expressed the belief
that the universe is slowly running down,
although he admits the possibility that the
heat thrown off by the sun and other stars
may be gathered again in some manner to
form new suns.
In any event. Old Sol appears to be
good for a billion years or more, so his Ill
innate end has little practical interest for
us. But it is fascinating to contemplate
what may be the final fate of mankind
when. if ever, our solar system begins to
undergo. marked change, such as these
astronomers predict.

These two things, a reasonable

Then why not go along?

But why so?
Because, maybe, there are so many

and commissions. so much govern

other similar measures create fear

Again. we hesitate to enter a game

rules may be changed without our

But about the only thing in this
world two economists can agree upon
is, that 80 per cent of normal business
is done on credit. And there we are
again-credit is confidence.
Perhaps the men who are making
the rules today should let the rules
alone long enough to give business a
chance to complete trade or two. 1t
would be at least worth trying. for it
seems pretty hard the other way
around. There is no use crying out
