Now that l have given you a clear
clean cut analysis Of the bill in all
it's ramifications, l ought to proceed
to other important events that have
been occupying the time and attention
of official Washington. That is what
the congressman would do were he
in shape to operate, so l must fol-
low the tradition and cover the field
thoroughly.
The town has been agitated consid-
erably of late over dispute brought
about by Congressman Bloom of New
York, recognized as an authority on
George Washington. 1t seems that
among other feats attributed to the
Father of our country is a story that
he threw a dollar across the Kappa
hammock river down in Virginia neal
the site of the old Washington farm
All those Fasteners said it was q
fantastic story and couldn't be done
Congressman Bloom was willing tt
bet twenty to one that Walter John
son, one of the greatest baseball pitch
ers of all time, couldn't do it. Walter
lives here in Washington and said he
was willing to try. The Rappahan
mock is not very big river, but the
reason that these Fasteners got 81
excited over the story is that mos
of them thought all the talk wa:
about throwing a paper dollar. They
couldn't see how George Washington
or Walter Johnson or any one else
could throw a paper dollar that far
They never see a silver dollar dowr
here as we do occasionally out West
It's just another case of these people
being all bawled up about the farmer
dollar.
Paul and the other congressmer
from Minnesota, who write letters, tel
you about the legislation that goes
through the mill down here. 1t seems
such simple process until you gel
chance to watch the wheels &C
round from the side lines. 1t should
be simple proposition to pass bill
that one section of the country thinks
ought to pass. The trouble is that
about everything proposed affects sc
many diverse and conflicting inter
ests that opposition is encountered

THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT
BY CONG. JOHN PAUL KvALE

Still indisposed, but not SER
iously, the regular writer OF this
column turns it over this week to
Johnny" McGovern, as he is af-
fectiOnately known throughout
sportsdom. In addition to being
Minnesota's famous quarterback
on Walter Camps first All-Amer-
lean football team, he rates high
ly in Washington as an effective.
energetic, but unobstrusive, law
yer.
His remarks follow:
This assignment is right down my
alley. Congressman Kvale has been
confined to his bed for the past week
or more, which is the journalistic
way of saying that he has been home
sick with a bad cold He is usually
SO active about the floor of the House
that l missed him the other day when
! dropped into the gallery to see
the fireworks on the new farm bill.
This is the measure passed by the
House Friday and which is intended
to take the place of the old law
which the Supreme Court pronounced
unconstitutional. / will go into that
shortly and when / get through you
will all know what was done and will
probably have the first clear eXplana-
ton of a piece of legislation ever to
come by way of a Washington con-
gressional letter.
Well as | was saying, / missed the
busy congressman on the floor and
inquired why he was not bounding
about in his usual busy and some
times disconcerting manner. / was
informed that he was home sick abed.
Without making any such conven-
tional remark as 81 hope it's nothing
trivial" l journeyed out to the Kvale
home to extend my condolences.
was so sympathetic that l offered to
pinch hit for him on this weekly let
ter. 1t was not all sympathy with
me. 1t was sympathy but not all for
Paul
Ny reason for offering to write the
letter is this. l have read his week
ly communications written when he
was we'll and healthy. l think toe
much of his Minnesota constituents
to have them subjected to one written
from a sick bed, if l could prevent it.
offered to dash off something this
week to help him out, and was sur
prised at the alacrity with which he
accepted the offer. Even for fel-
low given to maneuvering others tc
do his work for him. the acceptance
came too promptly. l thought there
must be a catch in it. I learned later
that he figured his own letters would
be more appreciated after his people
had read one from me. He is wrong
about that but these statesmen make
queer mistakes. The only danger
from my angle is that l may have tt
write a letter every week for eacf
Minnesota congressman. The pres
sure for that from home is apt to b,
terrific.

But to get back to the capitol gal
lery to watch the LEGISLATORS at work
on the new farm bill which was the
big business of the week. There was
lot of excitement on the floor and
before the measure was passed the
situation developed into quite brawl.
The opponents of any legislation to
help farmers advanced all the usual
arguments about the constitutionality
of the measure. No one paid much
attention to that because it was a
foregone conclusion that the measure
would be passed. The administration
was behind the bill and they have the
votes
The trouble came over amendments.
The Boileau amendment gave the
most trouble. Jerry Boileau. a cap
able and earnest member from Wis
consin and a great battler led a fight
to have an amendment added to the
bill which would protect the dairy
industry. The Minnesota delegation
supported the measure and voted with
the Boileau forces but the proponents
of the bill professed to believe that
the dairy interests would be protected
without the amendment and voted 1t
down. There was no difference OF
opinion insofar as a desire to help
the farm situation goes. All propon-
ents of the bill wanted to help the
farmer but some thought the Boileau
amendment was not necessary and
that it might endanger the bill. 1,
was not a case of the farm aid boys
not sticking together That is usual
ly urged against them.
One Minnesota CONGRESSMAN Illus
trates the farmers situation in thai
respect with this story. He said there
was a shipwreck in which the pas
sengers were all thrown into the
water. The crew was busy in life
boats picking up survivors. A sailor
reached over the side to pull in {
man struggling in the water. HI
grabbed him by the hand but it wa:
an artificial hand and it came off
The passenger fell back into thu
water. The sailor reached out ant
grabbed him by the hair but the fel
low wore a wig and that pulled off
AS he splashed and sputtered in the
water the sailor grabbed him by thu
leg but it was a wooden leg and thai
came off. The sailor then straight
ened up and shouted, How in the
blazes can l help you if you Won
stick together"
There was none of that on the floor
but the boys could not get together
on any amendments excepting those
favored by Mr.. Jones, chairman OF the
House agriculture committee, who
handled the bill.
AS you all know the bill is in
tended to preserve the fertility of the
soil and to prevent soil erosion
Farmers will be paid for planting
grass and legumes on certain acres
thus taking those acres out OF COM

How much chasing can you afford
to do for Csc? If you want to buy
or sell invest a few pennies in an

chasing for you.

mercial soil destroying crops and
putting them to a use that will build
up the soil. The Supreme Court said
in pronouncing the old act unconsti-
tutional that the federal government
could not regulate agricultural pro-
duction as that was function Of the
states This is not an attempt to
regulate production, but to save the
soil and preserve it for the use and
welfare of the whole country. 1t was
brought out in the debate on the
floor, that the federal government has
been stimulating production these
many years and during the World war
brought millions of acres into cult
walton for which there is no market
now. Proponents of the bill could
see no reason why the government
which brought this condition about
could not do something to help rem
edy it. However, the Supreme Court
said no and for that reason this bill
provides that the states will control
the operation of the bill. The federal
government will coordinate the eff
forts of the states and provide money
for state aid but the states will be
the units to handle the situation SO
that the act may meet with the favor
of the Supreme Court.
Many interesting facts and fancies
were brought out in the debates and
discussions on the floor of the house.
The congressman grew eloquent and
often poetical. In the discussion of
this bill Congressman Ludlow of In
diana, quoted a poem, Down on the
Farm" which gives a pretty good
picture of the situation as we Mime
sofa people know 1t to be.
Here it is:
Down on the Farm.
Down on the farm, bout half past 4.
l slip on my pants and sneak out of
the door;
Out of the yard l run like the dickens
To milk 10 cows and feed the chick
ems,
Clean out the barn. curry Nancy and
Jiggs.
Separate the cream. and slop all the
pigs,
Work two hours. then eat like Turk,
And, by heck. I'm ready for full
days work.
Then l grease the wagon and put on
the rack,
Throw a jug of water in an old grain
sack,
Hitch up the horses. hustle down the
lane,
Must get the hay in, for it looks like
rain.
| Look over yonder! Sure as I'm born
Cattle on the rampage and cows in
the corn!
Start across the medder. run a mile
or two,
Heaving like I'm wind-broke. get wet
clear through.
Get back to the horses, then for re-
compense
Nancy gets straddle the barbed-wire
fence.
Joints all a-aching and muscles in {
jerk,
I'm fit as a fiddle for a full day:
work.
Work all summer till winter is nigh
Then figure up the books and heavt
big sigh.
Worked all year, didn't make a thing
Got less cash now than l had las
spring.
Now, some people tell us that there
amt no hell,
But they never farmed, so they cam
tell.
When spring rolls round l take an
other chance.
While the fringe grows longer on m,
old gray pants.
Give my s'penders a hitch, my bel
another jerk,
And, by heck, I'm ready for full
years work.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1936-02-27

from countless unexpected as we'll as
expected sources. It is anything but
the simple process that one imagines.
In addition to the regular routine
of legislative business there are so
many agencies and bureaus that af-
feet the activities and the lives Of
people that a congressman might we'll
be kept busy looking after that phase
of his Washington business. 1t is
not like it was in the olden days down
here. People who have not been to
Washington for some time are amazed
at the number and the size Of the new
government buildings erected in the
past few years. In spite of all the
buildings there are numerous govern
ment departments working in apart
ment houses, and even in private dwell
lings taken over by the government
because they could not build offices
fast enough and because there are no
more office buildings here to buy.
The town is crowded all the time and
even a resident has trouble finding
tie many government bureaus and de-
partments that are scattered all over
town.
Everyone is guessing now how long
the present session will last. There
will not be a lot of must" legislation
but there are enough important mat
ters on the books to keep the pillars
of the republic here until the latter
part of May or early in June.
You all realize that with the big
election coming up the law making
gents would like to get home and
talk things over with the home folks.
However. there is important business
which must be finished. For instance
the farm bill which I just explained
in such detail will have to go to con-
ference so that the Senate and House
may iron out their differences. No
one knows how long that will take.
Then comes the question of raising
the money to pay the farmers and the
soldiers and to carry out the rest
of the program. Yes, it looks as
though they will be here till June at
least.
