PICKING ANOTHER PUPPET

The inside new dealers, the boys charged by
Senator Wheeler and others with shopping around
for candidates with whom to defeat the ndepen-
dent Democrats in the senate, have found their
man to pit against Senator Tydings OF Maryland,
They have them rather generally over the coun-
try.
Wherever such men as possess untruckhng mlnds
up for reelection this year, the little cotere
of king-makers behind the scenes in Washington
have trotted out an opponent who will wear their
livery and allow themselves to be colared and hal
tered, and labeled as their man-lOO per cent ne"
dealer!
The people of Maryland seem so far to have
been entirely pleased with the sort of senator MI
Tydings has been making them.
In 1882 when he and President Roosevelt were
being voted for in the same primary, the president
received 1870, 600 votes and Senator Tydlngs l5o
600.
There is no evidence from such figures that the
voters of Maryland consider their senator unit tt
serve them in Washington.
The dissatisfaction is entirely within the circle
of the administration which seems to dislike any
in congress who refuses to become a puppe
and maronette.
They want senators who will do their bddinf
when and how they are told to vote.
Any other sort of mind in congress is anathems
to these little dictators behind the curtalns-Char

FARMERS PARE
DEBTS ON Land
Are at l7-Year Low With
Mortgages Believed Be-
low 7 Billions

WASHINGTON, June 9. CUP
The farm-mortgage debt has
reached the lowest figure in i
years, according to the depart
ment Of agriculture bureau of ag-
l1cultural economies.
The bureau said that the
amount probably has declined con
siderably from the last available
figure Of $7,254,8 21, 900 on Jan
uary !, 1887, and now may be be
low $1,000, 100000
Figures compiled by the bu-
reau show that the farm-mortgagc
debt declined nearly $4,000, O0G,-
600 between the high point in
1890 and 1887. Most of the de
cline resulted from foreclosures
between 1880 and 1885.
Increased income since 1885
has enabled many farmers to re-
duce their mortgages through
cash payments, the bureau said.
Some reduction was made also by
downward adjustments by public
and private lending agencies.
The bureau, discussing the
marked changes in the capital
structure Of agriculture since
1929, said that land values were
written sharply down as farm in
come decreased during the de-
preston; that many farmers were
sold for less than the mortgage
debt.
But during the past five years.

GILLETTE'S VICTORY

Senator Guy NJ. Gillette lost favor with fresi-
dent Roosevelt and his administration because ne
opposed the presidents court program and took IS
sue with the president on few other matters and
it was no secret that his defeat in Iowa yesterday
was earnestly desired by the administration.
James Roosevelt and Harry Hopkins had gone
so far as to give open endorsement to one of bis
opponents.
Senator Gillette swept into denomination by a
wide majority and it is cheering to know that Iowa

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
BY RODNEY BUTCHER.

WESTINGHOUSE much OF
w the new tax law is argumenta-
i've, or not generally understood,
hat few laymen knew just who
was right when Senator Pat Har-
rison blasted President RooSevelt'S
criticisms of the act as made in
MS Attributable speech.
AS far as his congratulations
went, a case might be made for
Roosevelt. But in his one specific
illustration of the new. capital
gains tax, where he said that of
you or |" sold stocks at a profit of
$4,000 after holding them a few
years "you and l" would have to
pay Is per cent on the profit
whereas man who made profit
Of 100000 ON stocks, would only
have to pay Is per cent tax on
it, the President was off base.
Actually, tax experts point out
with amusement, F. d. r. would
nave been correct only if he had
been speaking to folks whose in
dividual ordinary incomes ran TO
$4,000 a year or more. He prob
ably was the only one in Arthur
dale at the time. -
Half of capital gains may be
figured fort tax purposes as Or
binary income at normal and sur
tax rates and until his ordinary
income reaches about $4,000 a
taxpayer can save money by doing
that, and paying the is per cent
on only part of his capital gains,
Above $4,000 the surtaX rates
make such saving impossible.
Roosevelt neglected, however, to
point out that the tax revision
saves the small gains taxpayer SO
per cent and the biggest gains tax
payer a maximum of 30 per cent
since the latter would pay maxi
mum normal and surtax of 70 per
cent if his profits were figured as
ordinary income.

TRYING TO MINIMIZE IOWA
PRIMARY RESULTS

One of the most absurd and at the same
time most Imaginable exhibitions of polltl-
cal crawling and craWfshing ever given
in this country follows the Iowa primary
The hurried efforts of the national admin
istration to get on Senator Gillette's band
wagon in the Tall Corn State" since the
primary votes were counted is amply SUI
fcient to cOnvulse brass monkey. This
procedure, coupled with loud observations
that the new deal crowd never opposed
the denomination of Senator Gillette, that
the gentleman to all intents and purposes
is one of them things himself, and that the
primary was in no sense test of new deal
sentiment in Iowa, shows the new deal up
as most foolish aggregation.
3 The whole thing is so absurd that 1t Is
not worth while to call attention to the
fact that all straight-thinking citizens Of
the nation fully realize that the new deal
was given a complete frazzling and drub-
bling in the Iowa primary.
The denomination of Senator Pepper in
Florida was ballyhOoed by every new deal
spieler in the nation, by every new deal
newspaper, and by everyone of hundreds
of new deal propaganda sources, as new
deal victory of vast proportions and sig
nifance. The licking given the new deal
in Iowa is vastly more significant and of
greater proportions than the Pepper re-
suits in Florida.
S Careful students of political trends may
ALSO make a note of the fact that the vote
cast in the Iowa Republican primary was
much larger than the vote cast in the Dem
rOcratic primary. Also, that the Republican
nominee for the o. S. Senate is ex-senator
l.. j. Dickinson, who is strongly opposed
to the new deal and all its ways, while his
opponent was a so-called liberal Repub-
liean.
II seems that Iowa is recovering its san
ity and preparing to return to allegiance
to the principles of conservative Ameri-
canism
1t is true that in any political contest
within a State, local and State conditions
and issues enter into the contest and aid
materially in shaping the results. This
was true in Florida and, no doubt, was
true in the Iowa fight. One of the chief
differences in conditions in the two States
us that there has been more of the spirit
'of independent political action in Iowa
than in Florida. s-s.
AThe national administration cannot es.
cape the conclusion, by the public, and the
ensuing consequences, that it made the
light in Iowa against Senator Gillette and
lost. No amount of propaganda and other
pOlitical manipulations will convince the
country that the new deal did not take g
thorough drubbing in that contest.

THE KEY
The New international Ency-
clopedia puts its finger squarely
on the key to the condition when
it adds: while the great mass OF
electors are engrossed in the con-
duct of their private affairs, these
professional politicians, taking adj
vantage of the popular apathy,
dictate nominations to office,
force party conventions to regis
ter their secret choices, and con-
troll the entire machinery of cleo
tons"

chimes and the rings in the Unit

Fascism. The cure for it is non
partisan government - especially
in the municipalities, where ring
rule is particularly obnoxious and
