President Roosevelt has cast
into the political stream one more
straw to which the drowning
NRA might cling.
Downed time after time that
outfit bobs up repeatedly in a
condition so weak that it can
accomplish little more than the
distribution Of salary checks to it's

Now the Chief Executive trans
fers the remaining portion of the
outlawed NRA to the Department
Of Commerce as an organization
known as "The Committee for
Industrial Analysis"
It's duties will be to complete
the unfinished analysis of the
consequences Of the National Re-
covery Administration which was
deemed unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court.

Human Rights vs.. Properly Rights.
The whole political story OF Kansas
is the story Of human rights versus
property rights and the property
rights of one group against those OF
another-very much the American
story intensified.
In the 1905, when the Farmers
Alliance and the Peoples Party move
ment spread wide over the country, it
reached its peak in Kansas. There,
under the nickname of Populists, they
elected two Governors. swept the pow
erful John j. ingalls, out of the United
States Senate and out OF political life
set up books full of new legislation
and, as the Republicans described IT,
raised nell generally.
The issues were clear, the people,
farmers and non-property owners, rose
against the big interests" In their
extremes, issues as old as civilization
and as near at hand as the latest PAN
acea met in bsttle-in Kansas.
For several days during q Populist
administration the State house was
under siege, with an armed Republican
Legislature inside and Gov. Level
ling with his Populist Legislature and
the militia on the outside. 1t was 8
stage setting-a cannon pointed at the
State house and militismen drilling on
the lawn. The sheriff at Topeka, q
Republican, stood a block away with
| q small army OF his own, guns trained
on the militia. With a wild-eyed kind
OF seriousness, men talked of revo-
luton.
Politics Taken Seriously.
Yes, people took their politics seri-
ously in Kansas 40 years ago; and
they still take it seriously. From the
confusion emerged laws good and bad
In 1897, for instance, Kansas be-
came a pioneer in State control oi
freight rates. And the same year ii
took up the antitrust fight. A grain
inspection law was passed to assure
correct weighing and grading, prin-
ciple which has since become part OF
the Federal law. Kansas 1egalized
