EARRING COOPERATION
ENTIRELY 100 FAR

If the Federal Bureau of Investigation
is ferrying or intending to ferry All Ca
pone across the continent so that he can
be with his family at the moment of his
release from federal custody, then the
FBI is laying itself wide open to charges
the like of which it has carefully avoided
through skillful propaganda work, good
law enforcement work, and careful atten-
ton to the rules of good conduct
Capone, in spite of the million dollars
he is said still to possess after seven
years in federal penitentiaries, deserves
no more consideration than a penniless
prisoner sentenced for comparatively
minor law violation. Perhaps not as
much.
If Capone had been convicted of the
things he is generally believed to be re-
sponsible for, he would never be released
from prison. Certainly when he is re-
leased, there is no reason why the federal
government should deliver him to the
arms of his family and to his gaudy
Florida doorstep with all the pomp ac-
corded visiting royalty.
The government wishes to avoid SEN
sationalism when Capone is released, the
FBI says. Do the federal men, then,
intend to guard Capone forever against
prying newspaper reporters and camera
men?
The government is taking no chances
that an assassin's bullet will find Ca
pone's heart when he steps out of prison,
other officials say Are the G-man, then,
going to provide the notorious one-time
Public Enemy No. l with bodyguard
as long as he is outside of prison walls!
Capone is a criminal due to be released
from custody He should be treated as
one. He deserves no special considera-
ton.
There is no reason why the FBl should,
as it says it is going to, cooperate with
Capone's family at the time of his re-
lease. Capone and his family should be
able to make their own arrangements.
Any ordinary prisoner is left to his own
devices when he steps out of prison, re-
gardless of his family.
The regard shown fo. Capone by the
federal men seems, if anything to be car
rying cooperation to the point OF adula-
ton for wealth-and such wealth as Ca
pone may have certainly calls for no
respect from anyone.

Bruce Cation in Washington
Dissects the News

WASHINGTON First steps to-
ward evolving the farm program
which the Republicans will offer
the country in the 1910 election
and which will be put into effect
if they win-are being taken now
by a group of congressman headed
by Representative Clifford Hope
of Kansas. -
Named chairman of a 46-man
committee by @. 0. p. congress
sional leader Joe Martin, Mr.. Hope
is blocking out an an-inclusive
program which will survey prac-
tically every angle of the New
Deals farm policy.
Noteworthy is the fact that no
back-to- 1920 program is apt to
come out of this study. Mr. Hope
suspects that a subsidy program,
and probably some form of gov
ernment control over farm pro-
duction. are here to stay
FREE LAND
DAYS ARE OVER ..
I'VE can't go back to the old days
of free land, when a man could

new quarter section if he went
broke at home he says. Those
days are gone forever. and we have
a new and very difficult situation
to face. - 49, =, -. a. ses.-as.,.'

proceeding ON is that while the in
tentions of the New Deal farm
planners have been good, and while

MORE DANGEROUS

Homer Martin, president of the United
Automobile Workers union, in ordering
members to return to work at the Ply
mouth plant Of Chrysler corporation
Tuesday demanded" that they "be per-
mitted to work
There has been no strike vote at the
plant, and so no strike is in progress,
Martin said. He attempted to leave the
impression that the corporation was re-
fusing work to the laborers.
The truth as told by unbiased observ-
ers is that, while no strike has been voted
by the union, its members have used
"slow down" tactics in the plant which
have cut production from one-third to
one-half, and caused the company to lose
money heavily. The company, as a result,
has demanded cessation of the slow
down tactics
The showdown strike, second cousin
to the sit-down strike, is even more dan
gerous than its relative-because it is
harder to combat. Certainly it is not OBJ
jectionable when any employer demands
of his employees that they do the work
they are paid to do, and which they
agreed to do when they accepted the job
Nor can he be blamed for refusing to

their program has given the farmer
some temporary benefits, it does
not appear after the expenditure OF
all of this money that there has
been any permanent rehabilitation
of agriculture. It's in just about the
same shape it was in at the begin
ming of the New Deal"
Mr.. Hope is now at work dividing
his unwieldy committee into up
wards of dozen subcommittee,
each of which will have one spe-
cific part of the farm problem to
study. He hopes many OF these
sub-committees can travel out
through the farm belt in the near
future to hold hearings and to find
out just what the farmer wants
from his government.
Subcommittee to be named will
study these subjects: Dairying and
poultry. foreign markets dncluding
the reciprocal trade agreements)
farm chemurgy, livestock and meats,
wheat, corn-and-hogs, potatoes, We
getables and canning industries,
fruits, sugar, soil conservation, irri-
CATION. marketing and cost of pro-
duction, processing and tobacco.
SET NO POLICY
FOR NEXT SESSION
For the most part, no attempt
will be made to block out farm
policy in time for use by Republican
congressional leaders in the COM
ing winter session.
The two exceptions to this rule
have to do with the sugar situ-
alton and with the reciprocal trade
agreements. Congressional action
on both subjects is due during the
next session, and some definite re-
commentator on each is expected
to be offered the Republican con-
gressmen by January l.
Mr.. Hope forecasts a strenuous
effort to cut down the total OF
the Agriculture Department appro-
priation, which last year ran Slight
ly over one billion dollars. He does
not anticipate much of fight over
the item for soil conservation pay
ments ($500,000, 900 in the last bilD,
but believes there will be strong
attempt to cut down on sums voted
for commodity purchases, which ac-
counted for 1898, 1000 900 in the cur
rent budget.
Although his various sub-com-
mittees will cover a good deal OF
ground. Mr.. Hope doesn't believe
the whole job will be very expensive.
What financing is necessary will
probably come either directly from
the Republican National Committee
or from the Republican Congress
sional Committee.

as bridge. checkers. This will help
you make friends. You can Otter
make more friends in an hour play

2. Do something for other people.
Become the secretary of a club, call
on a sick neighbor, hop into your
car and make a trip into town to
help someone who is not free to
make the trip. Don't develop the
idea that the people you associate
with at the office and in everyday

you are superior to them. Mingle

Mr.. Smith, also a former governor

number of Negroes has trebled since
freedom came to the race" and added
there has been talk about the Nero

"But in the first place." he said,
part of what we cali the Negro pro-

part of the population hasn't always
done what it could to help the Negro
on his long upward climb. Today we
are trying to make our institutions
