FOOD AMPLE-ABOUT PRICES

Discussion as to probable increased
prices for foodstuffs as a result of the
drought brings to mind the fact that the
Department of Agriculture assures the
public that there is ample food in sight to
feed the nation.
Some wheat will be imported from
Canada, perhaps, in order. to obtain hard
wheat for bread but if the American peo-
pie would be satisfied with soft wheat
there would be no need for seeking sup
plies elsewhere. In fact, while the huge
wheat SURPRISES have been eliminated the
country as whole, will probably have
some of the soft wheat types available for
export.
Trices for food are about thirty per
cent higher than they were three years
ago, as measured by the cost of feeding an
average family but in 1888 prices were
about at the bottom. Compared to 1929
prices the cost of the market basket, as cal
culated by government prices is not so bad.
Food costing as much as 1921 in 1929
could be purchased on June 80, 1886, for
$500.

Under the constitution the Ameri-

can citizenship puts him at the top,
that no other citizen has any sort of

But of necessity. sovereignty and

CLASH OF IDEALS

When men and women get out and
fight for a cause, endangering their lives,
this is some evidence of sincerity of con-
viction as to such necessity. In Spain a
bloody warfare is proceeding between
Spaniards who disagree with each other
as to what form of government their coun-
try should have.
Reduced to a simple form, perhaps
not with complete eXactitude, the struggle
represents the age-old conflict of con-
servatism with liberalism. The Popular
Front" Government of Spain leans to the
Left, with liberal tendencies. Opposed to
the Government are the conservatives, who
fear the danger of further progress to the
left, therefore, they are willing to set up
militaristic dictatorship.
The Spanish Government is being sup
ported in its battle against the Rightists
by the Communists in Spain, which is
natural, for obviously any liberal govern
ment is more in line with the extremes of
communism than fascist of a dictatorial
government
The struggle in Spain has its inter
national reactions. Italy and Germany
both governed by dictators, are SYM
pathetic to the challenging rebels. In
cratic government is in sympathy with the
governmental forces in Spain.
There is considerable danger of Euro
pean warfare if either fascist Italy or Ger
many or liberal France takes any measures
to assist those in Spain possessing similar
political viewpoints.
Some commentators see in the strug
gle now going on in Spain beginning of
battle between fascism and democracy. 1t
has been openly charged that both Italy
and Germany aided in the fomenting and
arming of the rebellion.
The diplomatic maneuvering going on
follows the course of international events
of the past year or so. The dictatorial coun-
tries, Italy and Germany, force their views,
capitalizing on the known fact that the
Democratic countries France and Britain,
will give considerably in an effort to avoid
war
We are rather of the opinion these
concessions sharpen the appetite of the
militariSts and will gradually lead them
to more extremes. Italy and Germany do
not understand the conciliatory attitude
upon the part of their opponents but as
cribe such an attitude to weakness and
fear.
Sooner or later the liberal and demo
cratic countries of the world will have to
act to control the militaristic nations, such
as Italy, Germany and Japan.

dependent as possessing the status
of equality. Dependency means the
surrender of both sovereignty and
equality.
From the beginning of our history
it has been recognized and accepted
as the duty Of the government to take
care of those who are mentally,
morally or physically incapacitated to
take care of themselves. But these
are not really American citizens.
They are the wards of the govern
ment. 1t is really inconsistent for the
wards of the government to hold and
exercise the right of suffrage. In Eng
land some years ago people were not
permitted to vote who had accepted
public charity within specified Pc
riod. Doubtless this is the law today.
1t would not only be inconsistent but
destructive to social order to permit
the wards of an institution to vote
any appropriation they pleased from
the pockets of tax payers for their
own enjoyment.
If dependents are permitted to ex-
ercise the full rights of suffrage, we
are in danger of new type of slavery
in this country. The great army of
dependents today, together with an
army still greater who are seeking to
be classified as dependents led by
third large army of office holders con-
stitute such large proportion of our
population that the self respecting
hard working independent citizens
may be forced to surrender and be-
come the slaves of their mendicant
masters. This is certainly new deal!
An American citizen cannot ask for
special aid from the government. The
government has no money. When
man asks for special aid from the
government, he is really "beggin"
from his neighbors.
1t is for each to decide for himself
whether he will surrender his SOW
ereignty and independence as an
American citizen, and as a ward join
the great army of dependents. or fight
the good fight as an American citizen
and defend and protect his priceless
birth right. One votes either as
citizen or ward.

nine against. The total number OF
votes cast went beyond estimates.
Conservative estimates were that
possibly 400 free holders would
take the trouble to go to the polls,
but when the final count was

casters were wrong as nearly
