Mechanized Equipment
Hit by Farm Tenants

For several years there has been
growing complaint from Middle
Western tenant farmers that they
were being, as they called it, ''trac-
tored off the farm"
That a good many tenants are an
nually pushed off the farm and that
the tendency to farm more land
with mechanical equipment is a
contributing cause is verified in a
report by the Farm Security admin
istration on tenant conditions in
Iowa. Nearly 5000 tenant families,
this report said, were unable to find
farms to rent this year. But other
factors are involved.
For instance. a bigger crop OF
young farmers is coming to matur-
ity and seeking opportunity each
year than the number of old farm
ers displaced by death or voluntary
retirement. Since the land to be
farmed is rigidly limited, the result
is body of farmers without farms.
The tendency to farm larger units
with power equipment does not
seem to represent any real trend
toward making factory out Of the
farm, although imagination some
times suggests this.
1t has been found that the farm
er who has been accustomed to
farming 160 acres, the ordinary con-
ception of the family sized farm, I"
can, with power equipment, ham
die 240 or 800 acres as easily. So
he rents or buys this additional land.
But the farm still remains family
operated institution.
What the tractor has displaced
in greater volume than the farm
tenant is the hired hand. But the
farm laborer is a voiceless fellow
who looks for a job somewhere
else If he can't find it on the farm,
and not much is heard from him.

These Things WIZ Stand

In the event of Republican victory in the
national election next fall we are confident
that certain things will not happen. Such as
these:
Revocation of the act guaranteeing bank
deposits.
Abandonment of the rural electrifcation
program.
Abolition of the CCC.
Scuttling of the farm program, including
soil conservation.
Repeal of the social security act.
Repeal of the stock exchange control act
Liquidation of the farm credit administra-
ton.
Sabotaging of the national defense pro-
gram.
Liquidation of home owners loan corpor-
alton.
Repeal of the collective bargaining act
Abandonment of the Shelter-belt tree plant
ing program.
The measures named above have in large
part been initiated and pioneered by the pres
ent national administration, while the others
have been strongly promoted by it. They are
keystones in the New Deal program They in
volve problems which any new administration
must face, either by continuation of present
policies or the substitution of new ones.
This is not an argument for the election of
the Republican candidate, on the basis of the
negative that his election will not undo good
things done but it is rather an attempt to
point out that the important things done by
the Roosevelt administration are so vital and
SO admittedly necessary that no group that
has any hope of getting into power would dare
to, or would want to, campaign for their re-
peal or abandonment Northfield Indeben-

Dispelling The Fog
BY CHARLES NICHOLSON
Director of Publicity Democratic National Committee

There was something pathetic
about the statement of Senator
McNary, when he was informed
that he had been selected for sec
ond place on the Republican Ma
tional ticket.
II will be a good soldier and do
the best can," said the Oregon
Senator This sad utterance must
be read in connection with the
statement he made two days be-
fore he was drafted as the tail to
Wendell WILKES kite. Then he
said. "The West which the Repub-
licans must carry, will go against
us if Mr.. Willkie heads the ticket"
Senator McNary was one of half
hundred COP. national legis-
lators who announced that the
choice of the utility magnate for
the Presidential nomination spell
ed destruction to any chance for
their party in the coming election.
Another conspicuous prophet of
disaster was Senator Thomas,
Borahs successor in the upper
House of Congress, who was quot
ed as saying that the naming Of
Willkie would be so definitely
fatal to Republican hopes that ne
would not be a candidate for re-
election. The Senator later back
tracked a little but there was no
doubt of his distaste for the Will
kie nomination.
Senator McNary had no reason
to make a declaration along the
Thomas line because his term as
senator does not expire until 1913
and he is under no obligation to
resign his post in order to ''be a
good soldier and do the best he
can"

Eyes Prevent Circle Walking

People walk in straight lines be-
cause their eyes, by watching trees,
buildings and other objects, guide
their course, says the Better Vision
institute. A blind-folded person, un-
able to obtain his directions with
his eyes, tends to walk in circles. In
deserts and snow fields persons who
are lost ordinarily travel in circles
or spirals because of lack of direc-
tional aids.
Experiments with blind-foleed pc
destrians and automobile drivers
show that some persons tend to
turn to the right, and others to the
left. The direction taken does not
seem to have anything to do with
right-handedness or left-handedness
However, some persons move in
much wider circles than do others.
Also, there is great variation in the
regularity Of the circles.

u. S. 80 Income
Seventy Billions
Increase of SIS, 400, 600, 900
Over 1888 Total and
1870 Over 1882.

WASHINGTON.-The national in
come in the United States for 1889,
according to a commerce depart
ment statement, totaled nearly $70,-
600, 900, 600, an increase of $5,400,-
600, 900, or per cent, over the 1888
total and nearly rs per cent over
that for 1882.
Since the 1889 production of goods
and services was valued at prices
considerably less than in 1929, when
the peak income of $82, 900, ,0O0, 900
was achieved, it was asserted that
the ''reap' national income, the
quantity of goods and services pro-
duced, in 1899 was at least equal to
and probably exceeded the previous
all-time high.
Accelerated expansion in business
activity after the outbreak of the
war in September was in large
measure responsible for the rise. 1t
brought the "rear' national income
in 1889 to a point from a third to a
half above that OF 1882.
Cost of Living.
The dollar income in 1899 was 16
per cent lower than in 1929, but
prices showed even larger declines
over the 10-year period. The cost
of living of urban wage-earners was
ia per cent less than in 1929, while
wholesale prices in 1889 were down
slightly more than 19 per cent.
The flow of income during the
first half of 1889 was only mod
erately above the rate prevailing in
1888, but the increased physical out
put and higher prices as result
of the war brought the flow Of ma
tional income by the end of the year
to rate which annually would be
in excess of SIS, 900, 900, 900.
Manufacturing, construction work
done under contract, mining and ag-
riculture, industries which general
ly contribute about a third of the
national income, accounted for more
than 80 per cent of the income de-
cline in 1888 and two-thirds Of the
increase in 1899.
The manufac curing and contract
construction industries increased by
about Is per cent last year. Mining
showed gain of Is per cent and
transportation increased 13 per cent.
Others Increased.
All other groups increased, from
less than l per cent in the case OF
government to per cent for the
communications industry. The mod.
crate expansion in regular govern.
ment activities was Offset by drop
of nearly $500, ,00O,0 600 in work-proj.
ect wages.
In 1888, total income disbursed by
all producing units in the United
states was nearly $1,500, 900, ,00C
more than the national income, in.
dicating that part of the income dis.
tributed came from existing re.
sources of business enterprises,
rather than exclusively from cur.
rent production. In 1889, on the 9th.
er hand, the national income exceed.
ed income disbursed by about $780,.
600, 900. The national income in
creased 300, 100000 in 1889, while
income distributed rose $500, ,000,.
900.
Disbursements for the services OF
employees increased from $44, 4,300,.
000,0 in 1888 to SAG, 800, ,0O0, 900 in
1899. Exclusive of work project
wages, this total rose So, 300, 900, 900,
or 6.5 per cent. Dividends increased
about one-sixth in 1889, whereas in
terest payments declined slightly.
Average earnings per full-time
worker were higher than in any
year since 1881.
