ONCE THE THEORY ONLY OF

almost inevitable and price fixing appears
to be the last resort.
While manufacturers have suffered in
depressions by lack of markets, they have
in most cases avoided Cutting their mark
cts by over-producing. What they did make
was sold at their price.
The farmer, meanwhile, in the face of
falling prices has grown and marketed more
produce not only flooding the market in one
year, but carrying over to the next and the
next in many cases. While he buys manu-
featured goods at established prices, the
amount paid for his produce is subject to
the law of supply and demand.
Some approach to the problem has been
made in crop curtailment; the effort to
produce only what it is reasonable to believe
can be consumed, but both production and
demand are at the Whim of nature and con-
dltlCnS generally to such an extent that
Well-lntended plans have failed to guaran-
tee the security wanted.
Interest in farm programs declines and
pressure on congress lessons when prices
climb but the present slump is responsible
Tor renewed interest. Price pegging, prob
ably with allotments, dumping or surplus
storage as components, is in the fore.
MAYBE 1T WILL WORK OUT BET
ter than it sounds but this order that hunt
ers who shoot hen pheasants by mistake
take them totthe game warden listens a bit
ridiculous. How many of the thousands of
hunters over running Redwood county will
know where to locate MIR. Quist, sole ward
en- for two counties. Should all the hunters
guilty of error in the matter carry out the
law to the letter, Mr.. Quist may be so busy
checking in hen pheasants, about which he
can do little so long as they are checked in,
that other duties associated with his busiest
season will have to be sighted. The ques-
ton of what constitutes reasonable effort
to find said warden may also arise.
Better by far if the department had dis
couraged the shooting of hen pheasants, but
allowed one and only one to days bag
Cooperation could more reasonably have
been expected and fewer birds shot by acct
dent would have been left to rot in fields or
carted home surreptitiously.
NO POLITICAL PARTY IN MINNIE
sofa has sufficient strength to elect its can
didates for office. The Farmer-Laborites
cannot elect Benson, the Republicans Stas-
sen or the Democrats Gallagher. The next
governor of Minnesota will be chosen by
great group of people who disclaim party
ffiliation.-Grand Rapids Herald Review
WE HEAR MUCH ABOUT POOR
sportmanship in every political campaign
but there is one type that just about reach
es the top of the heap and that is the de-
struction of the campaign literature and
material of the opposing party. And this
goes for every party and every individual
in the party-MadiSon Independent Press.

WHEN 1T COMES TO TAKING AID
vice on political matters, a good idea is to
find out whether the person attempting to
switch your vote is holding a state job, or
if not, whether he hopes to land one after
his party has been successful. Needless to
say, such advice can be discounted consid-
erably.-Hutchinson Leader.
THE ONLY THING CAN THINK OF
at the present time that would make me
want to go to war is the thought of having
to continue to listen to Kaltenborn and his
staccato manner of speech on the radio for
any great length of time.-Appleton Press.
WE DO NOT CARE TO WHICH PAR
ty any group of politicians claims to belong,
they are all imbued with the one objective
of getting job for themselves or place
of power where they can allot jobs to their
friends or relatives.-Belle PLANE Union.
FIVE HUNTERS WERE KILLED
along with millions of ducks the first few
days. Time was when hunting deaths were
considered startling, but that was before
autos began to take their weekend tolls

ONE WAY TO GET ELECTED TO
office is to damn the public utilities and nail
your posters on their telephone poles.-
