@REVOLUTIONs" IN FARMING

Untold centuries ago. an authority
on agriculture has observed. the art
of farming was revolutionized when
some inventive genius cOntrived to
overturn the earth by means of the
forked limb of a tree. drawn by a
camel. horse or OK" The first crude
plow marked the initial application of
mechanical power to farming.
Since that far-off time there have
been many revolutions in agriculture.
And today there is an immensely i'm
portant, IL quiet. revolution going on.
though II is not of a mechanical char
acter. II lies In the comparatively
new awareness of the farmer to the
fact that one-man enterprise is not
enough in this age-that the ener-
gies. the brains and the abilities OF
many men must be enlisted together
IL each is to succeed and prosper. It's
concrete manifestation is found in the
fast-growing, strongly intrenched ag-
ricultural marketing cooperatives
which dot the nation. And "revolu-
ton" which makes ii possible to dis
tribute crops more quickly, surely
and to better advantage for all con-
cerned is as important as a "revolu-
tion" which makes il possible to pro-
duce them with greater efficiency
and reduced effort.

Bills of Every Individual; National

arabic from Local Welfare.

A glance at the various business
barometers-and a cursory reading
of the more experienced annalists
and ecasters-produces some
grounds for optimism. For several
months industrial conditions have
been improving. And the ''conserva-
tive" tendency shown by the last re-
bellious Congress in its closing weeks
has proven to be an excellent psycol-
ogical factor. Congress didn't do
what business asked-the fact is that
il left an unusual number of major
problems untouched-but most bust
ness men think there has been a
healthy change in attitude on the part
of many Senators and Representa-
tives
Most significant recent event in the
business world has been a fairly
sharp rise in the index of durable
goods production. Heavy industry al
most always goes down first when a
depression" or a recession" is pen
ding and almost always goes up last

MORE SOCIALISTIC FANATICISM

In Oregon proponents of sOcialized
electric power have been busy as bird
dogs trying to persuade the'voters to
create public utility districts to use
power from Bonneville Dam in spite
of the fact that this would have to be
done at tremendous expense to the
taxpayers, and eventually cause de-
struction of the long established,
heavily-taxed private utilities which
serve their state in first-class man
ner at low cost.
A number of special public utility
district elections have been held. And
in practically every case the voters
have turned thumbs-down on the
proposals. They have said. in effect,
that they are perfectly satisfied with
electric service as it exists today, and
aren't anxious for any high-priced
experiments in socialism, which in
crease local debts.
But the public power fanatics aren't
satisfied. Every time they lose an
election, no matter by how heavy
majority, they Immediately start
rounding up signatures for another
election in the near future. And this
has created curious situation. These
elections, under Oregon law. must be
called if approved by an extremely
small percentage of the electorate.
But all the taxpayers must pay the
cost-and it runs into comparatively
high sums in many instances.
AS a consequence, there is talk of
putting some sort of check on cleo
tion promoters. so that county and
town treasures won't be depleted by
long and continuous series of spec
ial elections. And it is certainly rea-
sonable that this should be done. The
people are entitled to public power
il they want it. But there is no rea-
son why all the people should pay
out handsome sums every few months
for special elections concerning
projects which they refused in the
immediate past.
What will be done remains to be
seen. In the meantime, the public
power fanatics, with their usual
bland disregard for the staggering
taxpayer. are going ahead planning
more elections-and it is going to
cost the voters plenty to mark "NO"
opposite the titles of socialistic pro-
posals.

Looking at specific industries,
Home building has finally tended
downward, by comparison with last
year, but the reduction in interest
rates put into effect by FHA is ex-
pected to slow and possibly change
the downward trend. Automobile
production is low just now. but a
sharp rise in output will set in soon,

a good sign. There has been a fairly

Those who are interested in poll
tics-and that broad classification
must take in about 80 per cent OF
the population-are giving a good
deal OF thought to whom the Repub-
licans will pick to run for the Presi-
dency. That is a much more impor-
tant question now than IL was in 1885
no expert gave the COP a chance
TO win then, but most of the experts
think il has a fair chance now. If it
can produce a pleasing candidate and
platform.
At the moment, going by recent
polls, Tom Dewey, racket-buster ex-
traordinary, is far in the lead-5ome
as per cent of the Republicans ueried
by the Institute favor him. Vanden-
berg and Taft are running second
and third Then. far down the list on
percentage basis, come Hoover.
LandOn and BOrah.
Interesting point is a strong in
crease in support for Vandenberg.
Obvious reason for that are his VIC
tories in the last Congress. He led
the successful fight against amend
ing the Neutrality Act, and was a
big factor in beating the Florida ship
canal project. And he has long ad
vocated Remuneration of the 1911 u.
S.-Japanese trade treaty-a step taxi
en- by the State Department a few
weeks ago He was also much in the
public eye because of his activity in
support of various amendments to
the social security act.
OF course. public support doesn't
necessarily assure a candidates nom
iuation. Both parties are still domi-
mated by political machines which
think much of their power and per-
petuation and little of public desires.
The machines aren't so powerful as
in the twenties. when dying Boies
PenTose had no difficulty in forcing
the Republicans to nominate obscure
Senator Harding, but they still con-
troll lot of jobs and they are a force
to be reckoned with However. il a
candidate for either partys nOmina-
ton is able to enlist enough public
enthusiasm the machines don't like
to take the risk of fighting him.
