A WORD TO THE WISE

: Farmers who think they have moth
ing at stake in the wage-hour bill
now pending in Congress are due to
receive some rather nasty surprises
if that bill becomes law.
Congressional sponsors of the mea-
sure who represent farming districts
point to the sections exempting agri-
cultural labor and conclude it won't
hurt the farmer. But, ignoring the
fact that the bill will raise the cost
of the things the farmer buys, look
at the record a minute.
When the NRA-the Blue Eagle,
you remember?-was conceived, the
farmer was left out Of that. But soon
the planners discovered that you
couldn't limit the production of in
dustry, which buys farm goods and
processes them, without limiting
farm production. Otherwise, huge
farm surpluses would have piled up.
So MIRA was followed by AAA.
Next, Congress passed the Social
Security Act. taxing employers for |
pensions and unemployment pay
ments to industrial employees. Farm
ers were exempted. But today there
is tremendous pressure in Washing
ton for amendments to that Act ap-
plying the taxes to farmers too.
The very fact that the new wage
hour bill exempts farmers is a Con-
gressional declaration of its belief
that ii has the power to fix wages
and hours of farm hands. What Con-
gress actually is saying is: I'VE can
fix wages and hours for farm work
ers, but we won't do it-now."
Once that bill is on the statute
books, simple three-line amendment
can be introduced extending it to
farmers. That it will be is attested
to by the past and by the drive of
labor unions to enroll farm workers. ,

Calls Genefics Science OF
Cooperation With Nature

more knowledge of how to coop
crate with nature for our own good
is the greatest need of the world to-
day." says Secretary Wallace In an
ncuncing the 1887 yearbook of the
United States Department OF Agri-
culture. The 1887 yearbook is the
second and last of two on genetics
and breeding.
1--WE want to do different things
than nature does," says Mr.. Wallace,
"for example, the creation OF hogs
with plump hams or wheat-grass
hybrids with plump seeds, but we
have to learn natures way of doing
them. If genetics enables us to out
do natures own efforts, 1t is because
1t is a science of cooperation with
nature.
MANS control of his own future
may depend in the long run on whe-
ther his biological knowledge, which
is constructive, can catch up with
his knowledge of the physical scien-
ces, which has taught him so much

INSURING YOUR JOB

Young people starting in for work
ask what they can do to make sure
they will keep their jobs, if periods
OF hard times shall come.
Jobs are all more or less uncertain.
People can't feel that they can land
a sure thing, that will be good for
all time. Even if they make all pos
sible effort. conditions may be so bad
that they lose their positions. Any
ones chances of keeping a job stead
lily are better if he tries very hard
to please and render service. If he
tries to do little more than is ex-
pected of him, and shows an intelli-
gence greater than the average work.
er in his kind of job, his insurance
ON that position is apt to be effec-
tive. A concern which has group
of people of that type working for
it, is apt to make such steady gains
that all its workers will have insured
jobs.

QasahM44n
~ JAMES PRESTON

Nearly everybody read the news
| paper stories about how Al million
naires paid more than Al million
| dollars in income taxes in 1885. But
| few saw or heard members of Wash
| ington's Inner circle" fret and fuss
and worry about those figures.
Back of it all, of course, is the
ever-increasing popular demand for
balanced budget. Not many gov
ernment experts are really hopeful
that the budget can be balanced by
a reduction of expenditures. They
think, instead, that the income from
taxes must be increased.
So the experts are hard at work
trying to stop 'loopholes" and to find
out how to get more tax money with
out raising taxes.
kss
Some were startled that the new
share-the-wealth taxes on the Al
millionaires produced only $41,500.-
600 They were especially disap-
pointed since these millionaires paid
as much as 79 cents out of a dollar
of their income to the Federal gov
ernment in taxes, not to mention
state income and other taxes.
That, the experts say, is about the
end of the road. Few men are going
To work hard for another dollar if
they know they can keep less than
q cents of it. And the discouraging
thing is that the SAL 100000 which
these pillionaires paid in is only
chicken feed. 1t wouldn't even have
hn Of in hn
ment for any two business days since
last June 80.
All of this emphasized something !
the tax gatherers already know
that it isn't millionaires but folks /
way below that financial level who !
will have to pay the taxes. To put
ii another way, taxes as high as 79
per cent on millionaires produced
only 41,500,000. But taxes of only
per cent ON those who make from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year would net
over $4,000, 0,000-almost twice as
much.
1t begins to look as though lot
1f citizens besides millionaires will
nave their pockets looked into. And
he tax gatherers will just stun cot
on in their ears so they can't hear
he squawks.
Washington officials have been =;
,areful to emphasize their claim that
he new wage-hour bill would not re-
