Is surrender and resignation. But 1t
happened that the clergyman at the
church service Mr.. Roosevelt attended
read the 18th Psalm, and 1t was that
that Mr.. Roosevelt commended to the
country.
A Fighting Psalm.
The 18th Is . Psalm of fighting
courage, Of carrying on under adver.
sity and against enemies. One phrase
Of 1t might be interpreted, by those
who see the situation that way, as
describing the New Dealers, che
that doeth the thing that is right"
Another phrase, "he that hath
given his money upon usury," might
mean economic royalists. One phrase,
he that hath slandered his
neighbor," might give rise to some
argument about its proper application,
as between New Dealers and economic
royalists-both have used harsh words
on many occasions.
The discourse that Mr.. Roosevelt
spoke to the press conference that
day contained more resignation than
turbulence. True, he took the eco
nomic royalists by the heels and gave
them another whirl. But he did this
about matter that is comparatively
small-the salaries and bonuses paid
to executives of corporations must be
made public. On more important
issues he was less firm. He reasserted
his support Of . wage and hour bill
but maybe We won't get it at this
session of Congress although / hope

He was tolerant and undictatorial
about his program generally. It is
only objectives that are important.
methods do not matter. This Is a
considerable distance from the Mr.:
Roosevelt OF a year ago. Then, when
ne wanted the objective Of court
reform, he prescribed the method in
minute detail. sent to Congress q bill
written out to the last comma. And
when his leaders in Congress told him
ne could not get six new justices Of
the Supreme Court but might get two,
ne scorned the compromise. He de.
manded all, now" Had Mr.. Roose-
Welt year ago been as flexible as
unfavoring events have now made
him, the unfortunate events might not
have taken place.

face directly the question whether II
Is economic democracy or Government
reorganization. I saw an argument
the other day that the referendum is
not democratic because the vote il
taken only among farmers and does
not include non-farming groups. But
the referendums are only a step in
carrying out a democratic process
which began with enactment of the
law by Congress representing all
groups of the people. Referendums
are provided for because CONGRESS
wisely saw that they are q practical
and necessary step in carrying out q
part OF the farm program which de-
ponds for its success upon having the
overwhelming support of the farmers
concerned. Congress, representing the
whole people, has defined the condi-
lions under which referendums of
producers are in the general wei
fare. Therefore putting the issue Of
marketing quotas right up to the
farmers themselves looks fair and
democratic.
Levels Are Liberal.
The law sets the marketing quota
supply levels at points which are lib
eral and definite. These levels must
be exceeded before the quotas can be
placed in effect. They are exceeded
now for cotton as result Of the rec
ord-breaking cotton crop of last year,
A large crop Of flue-cured tobacco in
1887 and falling consumption of dark
tobacco also have pushed supplies of
these kinds Of tobacco above the quota
levels.
In all the circumstances, the ref
erendum method seems entirely demo-
cratic. It Is true that II the market
ing quotas 60 into operation, sales in
excess Of them will be subject to pen
atty at 2 cents per pound on cotton,
and a minimum Of 2 to cents Per
pound on tobacco. But the effect Of the
quotas Is to encourage the farmers to
hold In their hands more Of the sur
plus supplies that are Cutting the
market. The farmers cooperate ID
holding the excess Of their products
over marketing quotas OF the market

better balance with demand and price,

would be wasted by piling surplus on
top Of surplus. But the entire use Of
marketing quotas for these purposes
depends upon support OF the quotas
BY two-to-one majority of all those
who vote in the referendum. That Is
certainly not RECOMMENDATION BY the
Government. If there by any "regi-
mentation." 1t is RECOMMENDATION by the
farmers Of themselves.
Democracy in Referendum.
Next Saturdays referendum should
be thoroughgoing demonstration of
economic democracy in agriculture.
Every farmer committeeman, and every
one else who has any responsibility for
holding the referendum should do his
part to see that these elections are
well conducted. Every producer must
nave . chance to vote the way he
wants to vote. It is up to the farmers
to speak their own minds, and the
larger the number that 90 to the polls
the better. It Il the business of each
farmer to decide for himself how he
wants to vote. The way to make these
.eferendums next Saturday q genuine
,, expression Of farm sentiment Is for
the tobacco farmers and cotton farm
ers to 90 to the polls in large numbers
ana vote yes or no as they see 1T.
That is economic democracy. De-
mocracy means respect for minority
rights but not Illustration by the mi
nority Of all progress. Democracy does
not condemn to waste of soil and de-
struction Of income vast numbers of
farmers who want to cooperate to
save themselves and their lands.
Democracy and anarchy are two diff
ferent things. Anarchy means COM
plete personal license to do as you
please without regard to the general
welfare. But in . democracy per-
sonal freedom Is balanced by personal
responsibility for the rights of all.
When the majority in = democracy
puts up trafnc lights so Is to keep
going ahead. it Is understood that the
minority as well Is the majority should
respect the signals.
| Two Vital Phases.
1
| Let me sum it all I'D this vay.
There are two vital things about the
farm act.
One thing is its provision for album
dance. In 1887 agriculture produced
. superabundance Of food ara fiber for
the Nation (and right here, let me say
parenthetically that the scarcity"
charge against the new farm act s
the worst Misrepresentation ever
hearO-and for the future the act
provides ways Of maintaining the
abundance that now exists.
The other vital thing u the acts
reliance upon the democratic process.
In my opinion the new farm program
u economic democracy In action.
With these two things, abundance
and democracy, agriculture has q plan
which IL . challenge to industry. It
u = challenge to industry to reverse
present declines Of production 50 Is
to balance with larger output Of fac
tory goods the existing abundance of
farm commodities. II industry fol-
lows the trail blazed by agriculture,
both farm and city people will make
more rapid gains. Agriculture is going
Ito do Its share. Its program serves
farm welfare and the general welfare.
I believe the new farm act viii
make history.
