fallacy happens now TO operate in
favor OF the Democrats.
Mr.. Roosevelt really thinks he did
it. He said once before that he and
his policy brought about the rise in
farm prices. He said IL under cir
cumstances which showed how deeply
he believed 1t. On May 81. 1885, Mr..
Roosevelt devoted an hour and quar-
ter In an extraordinary press confer
ence TO attacking the Supreme Courts
decision invslldating N. n. A. One Of
his reasons for attacking the N. r.. A.
decision was, he said. that the same
principle of law, II applied TO Triple
A. would invalldate Triple-A also.
Crriple-A had not yet come before
the Court) And invalidation OF
Triple-A--I quote from an account Of
what Mr.. Roosevelt said as printed in
the New York Times June /, 1895:
IF We abandon crop control, wheat
would Immediately drop to 36 cents a
bushel and cotton TO cents a pound"
Some Of the other accounts did not
include the word Immediately" But
no matter. Competent economists
know that neither Immediately nor
within any foreseeable future, neither
by an adverse decision of the Supreme
Court on Triple-A nor from any other
foreseeable cause. would wheat drop to
SO cents bushel or cotton to cents
a pound. I recall suggesting that IL
Mr.. Roosevelt would like to make bet
on his prediction, takers could be
found.
Prices Rise After Verdict.
In due course, the test Of the Presi-
dents judgment came. On January
of the present year, the Supreme court
got around to Triple-A The Court in
validated Triple-A. That was more
than nine months ago. And wheat
and cotton have not dropped in price,
on the contrary, they have risen. The
error Of Mr. Roosevelt's economic un-
derstanding suggests that he Is a poor.
not good planner and controller Of
agriculture.
Mr.. Roosevelt's recent campaign
speech to farmers achieved fallacy by
commission and fallacy by omission.
He gave detailed, compact summary
of his actions about farming. To the
ear it sounded thrilling. The summary
omitted to say that Triple-A had for
hidden farmers to grow more potatoes
than the Government dictated. 1t did
not say that Triple-A (until the Su-
preme Court invalidated it, provided
fine and imprisonment for any farmer
who sold bootleg potatoes, or any
customer who bought them.
Mr.. Roosevelt turned to the farm
program now proposed by Gov. Lam
don. About this plan Mr.. Roosevelt
said-of all things-that it would cost
too much! Think of that now-Frank-
lin d. Roosevelt counting the cost!
About the merit of his charge know
nothing. There may be something in
1t. Yet the spectacle of President
Roosevelt making a charge of extrav-
agance against Gov. ALI M. Landon of
Kansas--that is something for real
laugh.

as a reform administration, would
not wish to copy what the wicked
Republicans" did. The accusation
flung against the anti-New Dealers
throughout the country nowadays Is
that they want to so back to the
old Republican methods. But the
Democrats have already gone back
and gone them one better. Imitation
may be the sincerest flattery, but
two wrongs never make single
right.
The use of money to buy an elec-
ton is contrary to the basic principles
of free government, but. in Indiana.
where the Republicans, too, have hao
an unsavory record, the Democrats
now have come in with more de-
vastating schemes, perhaps encouraged
by the indifference of President Roose-

Railroads Ordered To Reduce
Fares to Two Cents Per Mile

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, in alive to four decision last FRI
day ordered a nationwide reduction
of railroad passenger coach fares to
tive cents a mile, with Pullman fare
cut to three cents.
The order, effective June 2, reduces
rates from the existing So cent basic
coach rate and the average of four
cents for Pullman accommodations.
Eastern roads had fought the reduc-
ton with the exception of the Balti-
more and Ohio.
W. B. Galloway, general passenger
traffic manager, feels that the reduc-
ton will give an added stimulus to
passenger business and encourage
many people to use the railroads for
travel. He also feels that the new
rates are sufficiently competitive with
the cost of travel by private auto
mobile and by busses to promise re-
turn of some of the short haul business
to the railroads and he believes that
the railroads will, take advantage Of
the situation by putting more trains in
operation, so that more frequent and
better service can be offered

Garrett County Roads Not Much
Affected By Winter

While the extreme cold weather of
the winter and the subsequent thawing
of the earth last week had caused I'M
precedented damage to State highways
on the Eastern Shore and in other
sections of the State, there was only
slight damage noticed on the high
ways in this county, the most serious
being the concrete road from Deer
Park toward Swanton and Kitzmiller.
The thawing here has not been so
pronounced as in other counties of the
State, and it is possible the damage to
the roadways will not be noticeable I'M
til later in the season. The State Roads
Commission Office reported this week
that Garrett county roads seemed to
be in very good condition.
On Route 219, near Deep Greek
Lake, rolling and rather humping
condition was noticeable on Saturday,
but is nothing like conditions in other
sections of the State. i5''a 80
Secondary and county roads have
been made muddy by the thawing of
snow, but it was stated that there are
good, substantial foundations in most
of the roadbeds and that no serious
damage is anticipated.
Nathan L. Smith, chief engineer of
the State Roads Commission; Balti-
more, said road conditions on the
Eastern Shore were the worst ever
experienced. He blamed part of the
damage on heavy trucks and pointed
out that there were no State laws fix
ing the loads trucks may carry during
the springs months. In some places
the road surface had been churned
away or had collapsed. At others there
were "frost boils." Mr.. Smith said the
frost was two feet deep beneath some
of the roadbeds.
