F. D. R. OPPOSED
GIFT TO FARMERS

WASHINGTON, June 10. (UP)
Congress today stampeded on the
trail toward adjournment, paus-
ing only LONG. enoughsto vote new
farmer subsidies before disposing
l,sf major legislation on the calen-
dar in its final gesture OF def
ance Of President Roosevelt.
After abandoning sire die adj
journment until today, the house
bowled over his veto Of the $48,-
100000 annual gift from the
treasury to farm debtors. The
senate acts on this today.
Coincidentally, conferees rep
resenting the house and senate de-
fed the president on another
farm subsidy issue by agreeing
to appropriate $212,000,000 to
provide price guarantees to rice,
tobacco, cotton, corn and wheat
growers without providing the
money for them.
These awards to agriculture
made against President Roose.
velt's protests are but small
change, compared with the billion
dollars which this congressional
session has provided on White
House recommendations to fl
nance crop control and otherwise
aid agriculture.
The house passed over the
presidents veto q bill to continue
until July /, 1910, reduced in
terest rates on land bank and
land bank commissioners loans by
a vote Of 244 to 81, more than
the two-thirds required.
Chairman Marvin Jones. D.,
Tex, Of the house agriculture
committee, recalled that the orig
inal interest reduction bill was
passed over Q presidential veto.
Mr.. Roosevelt, who opposed the
original bill reducing land bank
interest rates which ives passed
over his veto, pointed out that
continuation Of the rates would
bring the total cost to the treas
ury up. to July, 1889, to $143,-
900, 500 and up to July, 1910, the
cost would be S1S3,900,000.

ELECTION IN OHIO

What will give the Ohio verdict significance IS
that in all the Union Ohio politically IS not only
the most debatable state, but the most pivotal
state. 1t isn't as large as New York, or Pennsy!-
vania, or Illinois, but politically it has often been
more important. Except by fluke, no presiden:
has ever been elected without Ohio and none Is
likely to be. It's location and character make It
the best political testing ground IN the nation.
With an electoral vote Of &c and population OF
1000, 900, neither overwhelmingly urban nor dom
inantly rural, neither an eastern nor a western
state, Ohio is middle American ground and in i
meet and mingle the popular tides from all sec
tons. Because of this and because of the clarity
of the issue, a 1898 verdict in Ohio will have a
bearing on 1910 greater than that in, any other
state. The experienced and practical politicians
know this without being told and are watching
Ohio as they have not watched it in years
AS things stand today, Mr.. Taft appears to have
the advantage The regular state polls show him
leading His opponent, definitely on the defensive,
seems to be making increasingly heavy weather II
he were fighting on even terms with Mr. Taft there
would be no question Of the result-Mr, Barley
would be badly beaten. The thing that makes it a
tight fight is the great weight Cf the federal ma
chine every ounce of which j. being cxerted in
Mr.. Bulkley's behalf The WPA, PWA, and AAA
organizations are highly active. A great army of
federal jobholders is at worl; to save the admins
traton candidate Mr.. Roosevelt himself gave his
personal blessing during the primaries. Mr. Farley
is using his influence to keep the negroes in line.
The crackpot, .CIO and Comrtunist votes, as al
ways, are on the new deal side. If Mr.. Taft can
prevail in the face of all this It wll be one of the
most heartenng things that has happened in five
years. 1t would mark the turning of the tide. It
would indicate not only desire but a determine
ton of the people to return to sanity and solvency
in 1940.--Frank Kent in Charlotte Observer.

W7ASHINGTON.-The theory
w behind Secretary Wallace's
proposal of a two-price system
ane price for the poor, one price
ior others-is old.
In 1900 a Frenchman named
Dupuis analysed possibilities of a
two-price system, based on diff
ferences of occupation and income,
which would benefit both business
and the public.
He imagined a man who bor-
rowed money and built a toll
bridge. The bridge-owner found
that revenue fell off when toll
rates were set too high and that
traffic increased when they were
lowered. But he couldn't fix a
rate which would produce enough
revenue to make the bridge pay,
so he went broke. ..-......
Dupuis then imagined the bridge
was bought by a more intelligent
man. This fellow observed there
was a factory on one side of the
bridge which needed labor; that
there were many workers on the
other side who couldn't afford to
use'the span. So he decided to let
workmen cross at certain times of
day for half-price. This gave him
much additional income and en-
abled him to reduce the toll for
other customers.
That's the two-priee system in
its simplest form. Increasing the
farmers income by getting their
"surpluses" of food and fabrics to
low-income consumers, who now
can't afford to buy, at prices low
enough to enable them to buy, is a
far more complicated problem.
New Dealers and many old-time
Department of Agriculture career
men agree on the theory of the
two-price system. Farmers will
get more money if some of their
product is sold to the "lowest one
third" than if the same goods were
destroyed. Farm programs which
only curtail the amount of food
and raise prices merely take it out

to do about salt, scraped the walls
down to the plaster, applied a So
luton of zinc sulphate to neu-
tralize the salt, then redecorated
the walls. That was expensive
whitewash. The man could have
had those walls handpainted for
less than the cost of that white
wash job and its effects.
