they should not have ploughed up
what was an excellent Summer pas
ture. Federal aid is an essential
policy here for awhile. no matter who
is elected next Autumn, and when
the campaign camoufage is all over
something of a permanent nature will
have to be done to improve the lot OF
the people of North Dakota, unless
the farm folks are to continue to drift
aimlessly, waiting for favor from the
weather man while the taxpayers in
other States foot the bill.
A scientific study of the proper use
of the land will have to be made and
a national policy adopted by Congress
for these situations affected by pro-
longed drought.
Landon has not yet made a very
penetrating impression with his
speeches and there is an eagerneSS to
have him define his agricultural policy
in concrete terms. If there are to be
cash benefits, then how are they to
be apportioned? What is to be his
method of handling relief in a drought
area like this?
North Dakota is at the moment a
doubtful State Battle lines have not
yet been clearly drawn. The Repub-
licans may win it by less than 10000,
or it may go the other way, by about
the same vote. The opposition to
Lemke is growing and should it mate
rialize. then Mr. Roosevelt would be a
sure winner of this States electoral
vote.

atty for failure was fine up to $1,000
or imprisonment up to one year, or
both.
The potato control law was in effect
only some two months. It took effect
December Of last year. A little
later, on January Of this year. the
Supreme Court declared A. A. A. un-
constitutional. The Supreme Court
decision did not cover the potato
control law: but the New Dealers rec
ognized the tide of events and Con-
gress. q few weeks later, repealed the
potato law. 1t never had any actual
effect, for potato planting does not
begin until after January
For recalling the potato control
law on this first anniversary OF its
enactment, there are several reasons.
chief motive put forward as the
need for the law was the low price
OF potatoes. 1t was said that too
many potatoes had been planted
already. and that in the season then
ahead more yet would be planted
the price would be disastrously low
Well, the control law never pre-
vented the planting Of any potatoes.
for 1t was repealed before the planting
season began. The quantity of pota-
toes planted last Spring was just as
much as farmers chose to plant.
Example Of Bad Guessing.
And now as to price: The price OF
potatoes q year ago, on August Is,
1885, was 81 cents a bushel. The
price today is $1.41 q bushel
In other words, the believers In
control utterly misguessed the future
production Of potatoes, and the future
price. They said the production would
be too great, the price too low. They
said there must be control. To get
and exercise control they enacted one
of the most extraordinary laws ever
passed in America. Today, everybody
knows there was no need of control.
They misguessed about potatoes and
they misguessed about other crops.
This very month, checks are being
sent to farmers for not planting
wheat. The total amount paid is
some $45,000000. Everybody knows
that the wheat ought to have been
planted. Everybody knows the crop of
wheat is small, in the United States
and in the world.
Pay for OutIawed Error.
Although the Supreme Court ended
A. A. A. on January 6, we are still
paying out great sums to farmers on
non-planting contracts made previous
to the Supreme Court decision. The
aggregate is upward Of 5000 000, ,000
We are paying out money for not
planting crops which ought to have
been planted. and we are suffering
from accumulated scarcities due to
similar payments for not planting in
earlier years. AS to some crops, pay
ments were made for not planting
AS to others. production was arbitra-
rily limited by the Government. AS
to hogs. more than 5000, 900 young
ones and breeding sows were arbitra-
rily destroyed. We are importing and
will import farm products which could
have been raised 'on acreage which
Triple-A paid to keep idle. or which
Triple-A arbitrarily limited
From this situation many reflections
arise. Most of them can be summed
up in one Question-does it really

In State politics Former Gov LANCER,

The Republicans are casting about
somewhat for a leader who can go to

Bailey of the same State. The 174
votes by which it was passed were
with five exceptions, New Deal votes;
161 were Democrats. 6 were La Fol-
lette Progressives from Wisconsin. 2
were Farmer-Laborite from Mime
sofa. Only five were Republicans, and
these were ones who represented dense
potato growing communities.
Under the potato control law, every
farmer raising potatoes for sale was
required to first get permit from
the Federal Government. (There was
an exemption for farmers raising less
than five busheS.)
Quotas Arranged.
The Federal Government. through
A. A. A., was to dictate for each farm
how many potatoes could be raised
and sold-each farmer was given a
quota.
Any farmer raising and selling more
than his quota was to be penalized
by a prohibitive tax of As cents a
bushel Any farmer raising and SELL
ing without a Government permit was
to be similarly penalized by the same
prohibitive tax.
All potatoes sold by every farmer
we're required to be in closed contain
ers prescribed by A. A. A. Any farmer
selling potatoes not thus packaged was
subject to a $1,000 fine for the first
offense and years Imprisonment for
the second offense.
Each container was required to bear
a Government stamp. Any farmer
selling potatoes not bearing the Gov
ernment stamp was to be punished by
the same penalties, a $1,000 fine for
the first offense, a years imprison-
ment for the second.
Not only the seller: any buyer Of
potatoes not packaged as the Govern
ment required, or not bearing Gov
ernment stamp, was subject to the
same penalties as the seller.
Informer Clause Provided.
Further yet. there was a most ex-
traordinary and drastic "informer
clause" Every person having any
information about the production and
sale Of potatoes-not merely buyers
and sellers. but everybody-was re-
quired to give such information to
the Government on demand. The PEN

been passed by the Senate without
