WHAT IS Involved in crop CONTROL

The; proposition of crop control interests the
producers of crops, first of ALL
The farmers who make the bread for the ma
tion who produce the clothing for the people OIL
the country, who grow all the grains and teeas
and raw necessities of life from the soil-ths rs
sue of crop control touches them before 1t I'M
pinges Immediately upon any other class OF our
people.
But by no means are the farmers those VINO
alone have stake in this venture.
The people generally of the United States are
tremendously involved in this problem.
1t makes a lot of difference to the public well
fare how this experiment will turn out in the way
of affecting the domestic markets in such way
as to influence the cost of living.
More than that it is a problem in which the
national government is, heavily involved from the
standpoint of world trade.
1t is mistake to consider that we apply
temporary salves to an economic question like this
and expect such superficial ointment to bring about
permanent cure for a deep-seated ailment.
And, by the same taken, it is an error to con-
tend that political theorists can lay down an idea
designed improve the situation without inviting
severe inducements, both domestic and foreign.
Crop control should be considered in the light
of two general and unacceptable facts. a
President Roosevelt insists that a third Of the
American population is underfed
If that be the case, we would better not bear
down too heavily on reduced production of the
basic essentials for the subsistence of these more
than 40, OO0, 900 Americans. r' '.r
The other point that presses upon for atten-
ton has to do with the shrinking of our own mar
kets under such an economic policy, involving an
alarming increase in the importation of farm prod
uets. ....'.
Surely America will not judge it to be wise or
even possible for it's government to pay out sub
sides to its farmers for producing less and at
the same time invite foreign COUNTRIES to produce
the same articles and commodities and dump them
on our markets for domestic consumption.
There is simply no sense at all in many such ar
rangement as that!-Charlotte Observer.

T HAVE been asked how closely
= / thought the economic inter-
estS of farmers and industrial
workers are interrelated, and in
ter-dependent. My answer is that
do not concur with the theory
that higher wages for industrial
workers are coincident with high
er agricultural income. 1t is said
that if labor is successful in its
fight for higher wages, there will
be an increased demand for farm
products.
That much is true. It is also
true that the manufacturer who
sells to the farmer will raise his
prices to meet higher labor costs.
The effect is to level down the
farmers income which has been
increased by the higher farm mar
ket. Ultimately the farmers pros
perity depends on good or bad
crops.
CROP control legislation, which
~ is scheduled for consideration
by the Senate next January,
should, think, be governed
largely by existing prices in the
farmers market. | believe farm
erS are feeling better about their
economic situation than they have
for years. They are getting near
er parity prices now than at any
time since 1929, and there seems
to me no evidence of overproduc-
ton at this point. II there is o
trend toward overproduction with
a poor farm market resulting, then
/ think Congress should step in
and check the trend. But the
farmer is not dissatisfied with the
way things are going, as, are the
Industrial workers at this point. ]
don't think agricultural commune
ties in any important measure are
open to agitation for political re-
form or any radical departure
from the established political par
" system.

Written Exclusively This Paper NEA

THE year 1910 will find the Re-
publican and Democratic par
ties conteSting for political control
as usual, although one or both
parties may suffer from assertions.
There is little possibility Of a
third party which would weld
masses Of farmers and masses of
industrial workers into a political
unit. Such combination, / be-
!ieve, is impossible at this time.
We have three powerful farm
srs' organizations in this country,
and while they don't often clash
with each other, I don't think or
ganizers would find them political
ly malleable.
The Oldest Of the three is the
National Grange, headed by Louis

from Ohio, who represents the
large body Of conservative farm
thought on politics.

FIRE INSURANCE
RATE CUT IS SEEN
District Official Expresses
Belief in 1889 Budget
Report.

Prediction that fire insurance rates
in the District will be reduced soon
effecting \ saving of come $500, 900
within the next year, came yesterday
from J. Bach Moor. District super
intendent OF insurance.
The statement was included by
Moor in his 1899 budget estimates for
the Insurance Department. Moor
said:
The foundation of the work Of the
fire rate expert is now being set up
and 1t is anticipated that within a
short time a reduction of fire rates
will be made that will contemplate a
saving of approximately s500,O00 in
cost during the coming year.
Congress during the past session
provided for the employment of a fire
insurance rate expert as an addition
to the staff of the department. This
was done after the Kennedy sub
committee of the House District Com
mittee studied conflicting reports over
the differential between fire insur-
ance premiums and fire losses paid
by insurance companies.
Moor had declared at one hearing
that fire insurance policy holders were
overcharged $4,000. .00o over a period
OF II years The subject was revived
recently when Fire Chief Charles E
Schrom reported that fire losses in
the District had dropped to 1894 ,204
during the last fiscal year, or a reduc-
ton OF 80 per cent from the total for
the preceding II months.

bargaining power, professional men
employed by large corporations In New
Jersey today sought solution.
One OF the first leaders to take
definite action, William J. Morrison,
jr., OF HAckensack, president of the
State Bar Association, called a con-
ference Of all salaried lawyers to be
held here September ls. He said
their objective would be to form a
committee to confer with other pro-
fessional men coming under the was-
ner act on whether to ask exemption
from unions or to go In unions and
try to direct their activities in proper
course"
The Wagner act provides for col
lective bargaining by majority repre-
sentatives Vertical" unions bargain
ing for employees of large corporations
would represent salaried doctors,
dentists, lawyers. engineers, craftsmen
and others who have considered them
selves apart from the union movement
Morrison submitted to lawyers the
question whether professional men
should seek exemption from such
unions or join and attempt to make
them function lawfully on established
American principles"

The union approved unanimously a

Of organizing entire industries
Charles Johnson Post, commits
sioner of the United States Depart
ment Of Labor, told the 400 delegates
that only per cent Of the Nation S
business men are lacking in good

that about Is to 20 per cent are shso-

will play the game square"
He said the "master-and- servant"
relationship in industry should have

The typhoon, which beached great

While weather observers predicted
the swirling winds again would strike

isolated area.
Practically all of the grounded boats

will be necessary for some. Two large
liners, the japanese Asama Maru and
