ANOTHER INVESTIGATION

The Townsend old age pension plan
had it's round in Washington and APP
parently the Townsendites have come
out on top so far. They at least have
the sympathy of the public.
Congressman Ernest Lundeen Sc
yerely criticizes the investigators anu
those who carried on the investlga-
ton of the Townsend old age pension
plan. Evidently the Minnesota con-
gresham feels that those who live
in glass houses should not throw
stones and that the investigation was
more of a political one than that Oh
fact finding. Apparently Congressman
Lundeen also feels that DR.. Town
send and his followers have done
much good in the way of stirring ur
sentiment for old age pensions over
the entire country and that whether
or not their plan is feasible the
founder and his followers should moi
be prosecuted by a political inves-
tigatiOn.
One thing must be borne in mine
in raising revenues on state or ma.
tional basis through sales or trans
action tax and that is that the reve-
nue. will naturally be limited. The
reason for this is that 60 per cent Of

FOR USE

Production for use" is a phrase
that is easy to use but more difficult
to comprehend. 1t means much more
than just a political phrase to be
used in campaigns.
A good answer for production
for use" is to be found in the
book ''Sweden-the Middle Way"
Close reading of that book shows one
that for 40 years the people of Swe-
den have worked industriously in a
cooperative way to make for better
deal for the masses. Cooperation had
it's inception in the British Isles but
apparently it has had greater success
in Sweden than any other country
since the turn of the century.
The Swedes, with such great lead
ers as Albin Johansson, Hedberg and
others, have gone at it in a very
practical way. They know that there
are no short cuts to Utopia and have
used both brain and Drawn to acquire
their success to date. Along with
their many consumers cOOperatives
they have step by step gone into the
manufacturing of goods that were
formerly controlled by monopolies.
The cooperators now have great
flour mills in Stockholm, they manu-
facture galoshes, automobile tires,
margarine, they have their own bak-
cries and have also made great sue
cess of the manufacture OF electric
lamps. They broke the back OF the
bulb trust and have greatly reduced
the prices, not only on electric bulbs,
but on all other goods that they now
manufacture They do not manufac-
ture for profit but to be able to pro-
vide goods to the masses at reason
able prices, in other words, 'produc-
ton for USE

At the end of the first year 100000
farm families will have been bene-
fitted.
These loans are not relief grants.
1t is estimated that 20 per cent of
them will be repaid in full. They
will make it possible for thousands
of farmers to get off relief and pay
their own way in the future.
There are sections were poor land
is primarily responsible for the farm
er's difficulties. Although one of the
greatest natural resources this cOun-
try has is its vast and fertile agri-
cultural lands, there are approx
mately 100, 100000 acres which are too
poor to yield living under present
circumstances.
1t is estimated that between 300
900 and $4,000 families are trying
to exist on land of this kind. To make
these farmers self-suppOrting they
must be given an opportunity for
new start on better soil.
In the past the frontier provided
this opportunity. The deserted farms
of New England and other sections
tell the story of the westward move
ment of farmers who were handi-
capped by poor Land.
Today it takes money to get good
land, and the assistance of the gov
eminent is necessary If it is to be
made available on broad scale.
The Resettlement Administration
has made a start in this direction.
1t is purchasing from these impover-
ished farmers about 100000 acres
of sub-marginal land and returning
it to suitable uses. This makes 1t
possible for them to secure better
land elsewhere which will give their
families a decent living.
The average net income Of the 49,
900 families Living on sub-marg1nal
lands now being purchased by the
government was only SSS in 1884.
This figure includes an average OF
S72 obtained from government agen-
cies. Forty-seven per cent of them
were on relief.
BY transferring these families to
better lands the incomes of the lnd1-
vidual farmer is increased, and the
burden of rural relief is reduced.
There is still an emergency rural
relief problem to be met, but Con-
gress should not ignore the underly-
ing causes which created it. The
Rural Resettlement Administration
has been making a sincere and worth
while effort in the last year to launch
long-range program designed to
ultimately solve the problem of rural
relief as we'll as to meet the need
for immediate aid. In the end this
will prove to be the only economic
method.
Rural Resettlement has a sound
program which is beginning to get
results. Congress should act to in
crease the relief appropriation SO that
it can be carried on.

Dear Voters:
Because of the splendid vote
you gave me four years ago. l am
again a candidate for Judge of
Probate. | am not just IAN office
seeker" but have a definite serv-
ice to offer you in this depart
ment which l consider one of the
most important and responsible
Offices in the county, and believe
it requires special qualifications
in candidates.
That must be the first question
you ask yourself. Is this candi-
date qualified by education, train
ing, experience, character, and
good health? Will he perform the
duties of this office faithfully if
elected?
l have a college diploma and
have studied law; taught in graded
and high schools in Nebraska be-
fore coming to Hinckley nearly
thirty-six years ago. Had a real
estate and insurance office for sew
eral years then published the Her.
aid for eight years, selling out
during the war as | expected to be
drafted any time. Am at present
a dairy farmer. My health is good
and | have never been called lazy.
My hobbies are economics and
human welfare and believe there
is in this office an opportunity for
the raising of citizenship STAN
dards through the dependent and
delinquent youngsters of the
county.
Besides probating estates and
judging juvenile cases, this office
acts on insane cases, disposes of
property of such patients, ap-
points guardians, investor ap-
proves investments money and
property interests of minors and
insane persons and supervises the
education of dependent children.
1t is full time job and one for
which a man should have some
thing more than surface abilities.
am afraid | cannot reach many
of you by personal call before the
primaries as | am assessing my
township and l like to finish one
job before jumping into another.
So | will make no whirlwind cam
paign now but WILL see you all
before the fall election.
