County Potato Growers Asked To
Vote Next Week On Inclusion OF
Product AS Basic Commodity

The cost Of potatoes to con-
sumers is greater with unsta BILE
production and accompanying
wide variations in prices than if
production and prices could be
stabilized at reasonable levels, the
department reports.
Under the plan, the national po-
tato goal would necessarily be an
acreage which, with average con-
ditions, would give an adequate
supply Of potatoes. The goal for
the individual farm would be that
farms share of the national goal.
Goals will be established if two
thirds or more persons voting in
the referendum desire to have
goals established.
In the referendum, growers will
vote on the question of whether
the establishment of potato goals
with payment based thereon
would be practicable and desir-
able as an aid in stabilizing the
acreage planted in potatoes in
commercial areas.

PRESIDENT INDICATES PLAN
CARRY ON HIS FIGHT FOR
U.S.. CONSTITUTION CHANGES
Says Document Does Not
Mention Power of Court
to Hold Laws Invalid

WASHINGTON, Sept. IS. (UP)
President Roosevelt has clearly
indicated to a Constitution day
audience and to the nation today
that he intends to fight for chang
es in the supreme court.
Contrary to the belief of
many Americans, the constitution
says nothing about any power of
the court to declare legislation
unconstitutional, nor does it men,
ton the number of judges for the
court.
"You will find no justification
in any of the language of the
constitution for the delay in re-
form which the mass of Ameri-
can people now demand" the
president said.
Though the executive did not
express his intentions in concrete
and specific language, observers
had no doubt after his speech that
the supreme court question had
not been killed when the senate
defeated his bill calling for its
enlargement.
The president last night sharp
ly attacked relationships as a
threat to world civilization and
warned that American democracy
can survive only through sweep
ing social reforms which he pledg-
cd will be sought by his admins
tration within the limits Of the
constitution.
Facing a huge crowd massed at
the foot of Washington's monu.
ment on the 150th anniversary OF
the constitution, Mr.. Roosevelt
manifested his deep concern over
world unrest. He conceded that
there are forces in this country
which have lost faith with the rule
of the majority and which would
seek to impose either a plutocrat-
ic or a proletariat dictatorship on
the American people.
Dictators are laughing at de-
mocracy and are predicting it's
early death, Mr.. Roosevelt said.
He admitted a crisis exists in
American affairs and described
this crisis as particularly dan.
gerous because its external and
internal difficulties re-enforce
each other" But, Mr.. Roosevelt
said he is not a pessimist, that
American democracy can be made
to work successfully without the
sacrifice of a single civil or re-
ligious liberty safeguarded by the
constitution and that he is deter.
mined to carry out the wishes OF
the American people. =,
Echoing a plea for national
unity which he had made only a
few hours earlier at Sharpsburrg,
Md, near the Antietam battle,
field where $4,000 Northern and
Confederate veterans lost their
lives in the War Between the
States, the chief executive laid
down a formula under which tins
democracy could be saved. He
outlined it's essential provisions
as: .
/. A liberal Interpretation Of
the constitution.
2. Subordination Of intoler-
ance and power by both the MI
norities and the majorities to the
common good of all.
3. Fealty to the constitution
not to it's "misinterpreters."
4. Faith in the ultimate capac-
ity of the nation to work out the
