Cotton, Tobacco Growers
Back Farm Program

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) Cotton
farmers in 19 states voted almost 5
to / for a quota on their 1889 crop.
Tobacco farmers voted for the quota
by 81 per cent to AZ; and rice farmers
voted against it by about 54 to DC.
Since it takes two thirds vote to have
a quota established, cotton is the only
farm industry that will have this next
year
Secretary Wallace said that the
overwhelming cotton vote and the
large majority though not large
enough-in the tobacco vote showed
that agriculture in general is back of
the New Deal farm program.
"The national farm program, as a
whole" he said, "open to producers OF
all crops, will go on"
Under the cotton control program,
growers will be permitted to market
the amount produced on their pro-
portionate share of a national allot-
ment of 27,500,000 acres. Cotton sold
from excess acreage will pay a pen
atty tax of three cents a pound.

more Act. All persons who made pay
ments or mailed them as of January

Jobs For Workers
Over 40 Sought

Indianapolis (ILNS).-The Ameri-
can Legion's National Employment
Committee has begun a nationwide
campaign to gain more jobs for per-
sons over 40.
Committee members said the drive
would save employers big sums yearly
in unemployment compensation pay
ments.
Headed by Jack Crowley Of Rutland,
VT, the committee plans a national
educational campaign among employ
ers to point out the advantages of
hiring men and women over 40. The
committee will attempt to show en-
ployers how they can save $780,
100000 in compensation payments
through the stabilization which would
follow the hiring of older workers,
the announcement said
Paul H. Griffith, Washington, Ma
tional Employment Director of the
American Legion, told the committee
a forthcoming survey of more than
100000 workers in AZ states would
advance many reasons why employees
over 40 are more satisfactory,

COMMITTEE FINDS
POLITICS IN RELIEF

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). -" Funds
appropriated by the Congress for the
relief of those in need and distress
have been in many instances diverted
from these high purposes to political
ends" the Senate Campaign Expend-
itures Committee reported as Congress
opened.
Four Democrats and one Republican
submitted the report to the Senate
They made 16 recommendation for
Tightening control over primary and
general elections, and for revising the
relief act to divorce politics from the
W. P. A.
The committee did not censure for
mer Administrator Hopkins, but criti-
cized his former first assistant, Aub-
rey Williams. The committee said
that Williams told conference of
W. ?. A. workers last June that "we've
got to keep our friends in power"
Commenting on that, the committee
said:
ut (the committed believes that
where supervisory official addresses
an audience of the employees under
him or composed mainly of such en-
ployes, and urges certain political
line of action, he uses a form of coer-
cion contrary to public policy and the
spirit of our government"
Committee investigators went into
Is states and received hundreds of
complaints, most of which were re-
ported to have been based "solely on
hearsay" In most cases they re-
ported no grounds for action.

REV. BICELOW TALKS
ON PENSION PLANS AT
CLASSDINNER FRIDAY
Graduates In Henry George Course
Hear Former Congressman; Doctor
Millikin Presides At Dinner.

"It is the patriotic duty of every
American who knows of the tragedy
in dictator nations, to contribute his
part to quick solution of the unem-
ployment problem" Rev. Herbert S.
Bigelow, Cincinnati, former congress
man, stated to dinner audience in the
Y. M. C. A., Friday night.
The dinner was held to mark the
close of a course in the Henry George
School of Political Economies, spon-
sored during the last two months by
Hamilton residents. DR.. Mark Mill
kin, city councilman, presided over the
meeting which was attended by so
persons.
DR.. Millikin then introduced Bige-
low. Attacking the unemployment
evil in the United States, Bigelow
stated present conditions resulted from
the absorption of small business by
large corporations, the mechanizatlon
of production and the lessening OF a
demand for labor.
Rev. Bigelow asked this question:
"Who knows what hurricane of hate
and prejudice lies beneath the black
cloud of unemployment, now spread
ING over the country, to destroy our
destinies ~
~ I Il
He decried mounting costs OF rellef
and suggested that property owners
pay a ground rental to the central gov
ernment to pay these costs.
Bigelow said he would initiate pro
posal to change Ohio laws on refer
endums. He would require only 100000
names on a petition for constitutional
amendment and only $4,000 names for
the enactment of laws. He would
abolish the 65 per cent requirement
in favor of majority vote and also
abandon the requirement that petition
signers list their ward and precinct.
Discloses Pension Plan
Then he disclosed plan, which he
will push, which would guarantee $50
month pension to all persons over
60 years of age, with married couples
receiving $40 each, or $50 a couple.
This plan, Bigelow stated, would in
sure security for old persons, create
new jobs for young persons, increase
the volume of selling and improve the
state markets Financing of the plan
which he estimated would cost about
$l00,000,000 year, would be effected
through a 2 per cent additional tax or
values over exempted amounts or
buildings and land. Homes and build,
ings would be exempted for the first
$1,000 value and lands for the first
$4,000 All values over those eX-
emptions, under common ownership
would pay the additional tax.
