PARTY PLAN
Backers of Roosevelt
Worried More Over
Copeland Bolt

BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
The political effect Of a third
party movement, backed by the
Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, Detroit
radio priest, and the growing bolt
of conservative Democrats against
President Roosevelt's reelection
today aroused considerable dis
cussion in the Capitol.
The third party movement,
hinted by Father Coughlin, ap-
peared to be without a candidate.
Although the priest announced he
was in touch with a prospective
third party candidate who would
run on a platform praising the In
flationary Frazier-Lemke none
tary bill, the prospective nominees
name remained shrouded in myS-
terry.
Might Be Lemke
It was not Senator william T.
Borah R0 of. Idaho. nor Frank
e. Gannett, New York publisher
who ran with Borah in the Ohio
primaries, nor Senator Elmer
Thomas D0 of Oklahoma. Sen,
ate initiation leader. nor Senator
Ellison D. Smith CD Of South
Carolina, warm friend Of the
priest, nor Senator Lynn j
Frazier (RO of North Dakota, CO
author Of the money bill. II
might be Representative William
Lemke (RO of North Dakota
House author of the bill, who
was out of the city.
Borah, Thomas, Smith and
Frazier announced they were not
interested in third party move
mentS. Borah said:
81 have had no cOmmunica-
tiOn with Father COughlin about
q third party or . platform. You
must excuse me from declining
a crown which has not been Of
fered me-"
THOMAS FOR ROOSEVELT
Thomas said:
Il am for Roosevelt. I am
not interested in . third party
movement"
Smith said:
TITS not me. I'm going to
Philadelphia to yell At 'em."
Frazier said:
mot me, I'm not . candi-
date"
And Gannett meanwhile tele
graphed Governor Alfred M. Ian
don of Kansas his support Of the
Republican ticket.
With formidable possibilities re
moving themselves from the third
party field, both Republicans and
Democrats were inclined to mini
mize the effect Of a Coughlin
ticket on the election in NoVem'
ber.

at both committee meetings and
sessions Of the Senate.
One of Fletcher's greatest po-
ltical acts was to conduct the
lengthy Senate banking and Sc
curity inquiry from 1888 to 1885.
Under his craftsmanship, Ferdi-
nand Pecora, special counsel, inves-
tigated the great banking houses
Of j. P. Morgan and Company,
Kuhn, Loeb and Company, The
Chase National Bank, the National
City Bank and Dillon, Read and
Company.
Some Of the highlights of the
inquiry came when a circus midget
sat on the lap of j. Pierpont Nor
gan.
The inquiry led to numerous
banking reforms, tightening OF
Federal control over banks, the
Federal deposit insurance act, the
new Securities and Exchange Com
mission and to reforms in the tax
law to prevent tax avoidances.
Fought For Canal
In recent weeks Fletcher
fought for a continuation of the
Florida ship canal started last
year with WPA funds. Twice
defeated, he finally succeeded in
having an appropriation written
into the final deficiency appro.
priation bill. This fund is now
a subject of controversy between
House and Senate.
Fletcher was born in Sumpter
county, Ca. January 6, 1859,
and moved to Monroe county in
1860. There he was educated in
country schools and the Gordon
Institute, going from there to
Vanderbilt University. He was
graduated from, Vanderbilt in
June, 1880, and began the prac'
tice of law in Jacksonville, Fla,
in July, 1881.
During his law career Fletcher
was admitted to practice in all
State and Federal courts, includ-
ing the Supreme Court.
In 1893, he was elected mayor
of Jacksonville. where he served
until 1895, and again from 1901
to 1908.
At the same time, he was elected
to the State legislature.
He was nominated as United
States Senator in the primary cleo
ton of June, 1908. and was unani-
mouSly elected by the legislature.

ments, as I said last October, can
be adapted to natural soil advantages
Of regions and localities.
Sound farming is of direct interest,
not only to farmers, but to consumers.
To the extent that the new plan sue
ceeds in its aim Of preserving and
improving farm lands, consumers will
share substantially in the benefits. In
years of surplus, consumers may light
ly take for granted the continuance
of adequate supplies of food and fiber:
But the recurring dust storms and
rivers yellow with silt are warning
that natures resources will not indefi-
nitely withstand exploitation or negli-
gence. The only permanent protec-
tion which can be given consumers
must come from conservation prac-
ticed by farmers.
Cites 1881 Views.
For a long time I have felt that
there was need for concerted action
to promote good land use Years ago,
as Governor OF the State of New York,
took such steps as 1 could in that
direction, and described them in de-
tail in a speech at French Lick. Ind
June 2, 1881, on the subject Acres
Fit and Unfit" I said that, having
reached a determination as to the
best use of land. 1--WE arrive at once
at the larger problem of getting men,
women and children-in other words,
population-to go along with pro-
gram and carry it out" I said that
Government itself must take steps,
with approval of the governed, to see
that plans become realities"
AS I made that speech I was think
ing in terms of my State, of other
States and of the Nation. Now this
new act incorporates a, system of
Federal aid to function when State
cooperation with the Federal Govern
ment can be arranged.
The provision for State-Federal CO.
operation, beginning not later than
January /, 1888, will mark a further
application of the principle of shared
responsibility. This is in accord with
the strong feature of the agricultural
adjustment programs which operated
IN a democratic manner through CO.
operation with the State land grant
colleges, State committees, county as
sociations and county committees,
township committees and individual
farmers.
Plan Not Final.
The history of every nation is event.
ually written in the way in which it
cares for its soil. The United States,
as evidenced by the progressive public
opinion and vigorous demand which
resulted in the enactment of this law.
is now emerging from its YOUTHFUL
stage OF needless exploitation and is
beginning to realize the supreme i'm
portance of treating the soil we'll.
do not regard this farm act as a
panacea or as final plan. Rather.
consider it new basis to build and
improve upon, as experience dis
closes its points of weakness and of
strength. Aiming at justice for agri-
culture and self-interest for the Ma
tion. the plan seeks to salvage and
conserve the greatest values in human
life and resources with which this
Nation is endowed.

The new treaty provides that the
United States henceforth will pay the
canal rental in balboas, the Panama
unit Of currency. The sum was fixed
at 100000 balboas, which Panama Off
clals say corresponds approximately
to s25O,000 in gold dollars of the old
weight.
The treaty made this payment re-
troactive to 1884, the first year Pana-

The treaty must be submitted for
ratification to the senates of both
countries. Officials said it would not

Three supplementary conventions
also were signed. One provided for

Roosevelt's Farm Statement
Text Of Presidents Declaration in Signing Il. Il. Il
Substitute-Vital Necessity of Soil
Conservation Stressed.

The text of President Roosevelt's
statement in connection with signing
the soil conservation subsidy bill fol-
lows:
In signing the soil conservation and
domestic allotment act, I feel that
I am approving q measure which
helps to safeguard vital public in
terests, not only for today, but for
generations to come.
This legislation represents an at
tempt to develop. out of the far
reaching and partly emergency efforts
under the agricultural adjustment act.
a longtime program for American
agriculture.
The new law has three major OBJ
jectives which are inseparably and
of necessity linked with the national
welfare The first of these aims is
conservation of the soil itself through
wise and proper land use. The second
purpose is the re-esta blishment and
maintenance of farm income at fair
levels so that the great gains made
by agriculture in the last three years
can be preserved and national recovery
can continue. The third major OBJ
jective is the protection of consumers
by assuring adequate supplies of food
and fiber now and in the future.
Expense Less Than Waste.
The Federal Government, with an
annual expenditure far less than the
actual yearly wastage of fertility by
erosion in the past, will make grants
of money to farmers, conditioned upon
actual evidence of good land USE Thus,
in carrying out the soil conservation
plan, there will be provided a posi-
tive incentive to, and protection for,
those who voluntarily shift from soil
depicting surplus crops, such as cot
ton. corn, wheat and tobacco, into
erosion-preventing and soil-building
crops, such as grasses and legumes.
of which there is no surplus. This will
help to bring about and maintain a
healthy supply and demand situation
from farm commodities, and will have
a beneficial effect on farm prices and
farm income.
There will be no contracts with
farmers. The program does not con-
troll individual production of individual
farm commodities, the absence of
production control may make imprac-
ticable the attainment of exact parity
prices, as defined in the agricultural
adjustment act. Nevertheless, I am
confident that the farmers co-operat-
ing with the Government will work
hard within existing legal limitations
to achieve the new laws goal. which
is parity not of farm prices but Of
farm income. They and we have not
abandoned, and will not abandon, the
principle of equality for agriculture.
In general, the new farm act fol-
lows the outlines of long time pol
icy for agriculture which I recon-
mended in my statement of October
Is, 1885. The wise use of land which
it seeks to encourage involves sound
farm practice and crop rotation as
well as soil conservation. The income
insurance feature afforded by the con-
ditional payments will help farmers
to maintain these beneficial systems
of farming without interruption in
poor crop years. longtime adjust
