AGRICULTURE AND "ISMS'

The advocates of alien "isms"
work in many fields. And one of
those fields, in the opinion of
Fred H. Sexauer. president of the
Dairymen's League Cooperative
Association of New York, is agri-
culture.
Mr. Sexauer pointed to the ra-
dical-inspired strikes which have
occurred in the New York milk
shed in recent years. Communists
he said, ran the show, and open
ly boasted of it. And a few non
Communist farmers were taken
in by clever camouhage.
Matters such as this may seem
of small signihcancc-but they
are all part Of the Fifth column
drive to disrupt and destroy the
America that we know. We all
must be on our cuard. And agri-
culture. along with the rest of us,
must fight in defence of the demo
cratic traditions which are being
assailed throughout the world.

numerous and we'll known. Fort
Peck, IVA and Sancee.C Cooper
are among the most glaring exam
piles.
The fact that appropriations
for power facilities are scattered
through numerous bills every
year and the fact that the Federal
Government never has published
any figures showing the total
amount of money invested and
allotted for power projects, is in
dicative of deliberate effort to
conceal the extent of the cam
paign against the private utilities.
If the taxpayers money is to be
poured into wide variety of
funds which are designed to
bring about the specialization Of
the power industry. than at least
the taxpayers of the country
should know how much has been
and is being spent on this cam
paign and should be given some
idea of what the total cost will be.
There is talk now that a new
plan for an unnecessary grid sys-
tenn in the Eastern part of the
country, costing anywhere from
$500 to 5000 million. may be put
before Congress at the coming
session, under the camouflage of
"war defense program Before
Congress acts on such a bill, it
should require every agency of
the Federal Government to sub
NIT details of the cost incurred
to date in the power program,

HOW MUCH DOES SOCIAL.
lied POWER COST?

If taxpayer wants to find out
how much the Federal Govern.
ment is spending on the u. S.
Armv every year, he can find it in
the budget If he wants to find out
how much is being spent by the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton and what it's general fnacial
position is, he can find it in the
Corporations annual report.
But no taxpayer, or anyone
else, can find out how much the
Federal Government has spent,
or is committed to spend. on it's
electric power program. Buried
in numerous bills which came up
before Congress every year are
appropriations of the taxpayers
money which are steadily increas-
ing the governments investment
in power facilities-though the
taxpayers at large don't know it.
The growth in the Govern
ments investment in individual
electric projects, as compared
with the original estimates of
their cost. is remarkable. Take,
for instance, the Bonneville pro-
ject in the Pacific Northwest, the
cost of the dam and power house
with two generating units was
estimated ut approximately $751;
100000. The same project. COM
f, pleted. cost more than $53,OOO,-
600, according to the Federal
Power Commission.
But to date more than $685.
100000 has been spent on Bonne-
vile. and $30,OOO,OOO of this $685.
100000 has been spent or allotted
| for transmission lines which never
Iwere mentioned when the project
Twas first considered.

of these power projects, compar.
ed with the original estimates, ar

and the estimates of the cost of
completing power projects which
have been started, but are not yet
finished. If such figures were
made public, and they can and
should be, the people at least
would know what the power pro-
gram has cost, and would have
estimates of the future expense it
entails. This is the only way the
country can be awakened to a re.
alization of the cost of socializing
the power industry.

STONE TOWARD
TOTALITARIANISM.

The steady parade of witnesses
before the House Committee
which is considering the Patman
ante chain store tax bill continues
Almost every segment of Ame-
ricl has been heard from - farm
ers manufacturers, publicists, re-
prejvntatives of consumers
groups. etc. And the overwhelm-
ing majority of witnesses have
expressed 100 per cent opposition
to the measure
Typical testimony was lately
Civ en- by Mrs. Ernest w. How
ard, chairman of the Federation
Of Women's Clubs department of
legislation. She described the Pat
man bill as "st"pp;ng stone to-
war'. totalitarian form of govern
ment." And she added: 1T in
deed seems strange to us that at
a tire when lands across the sea
have been devastated, human be-
inrs slaughtered or reduced to
serfIcm, and when this great
country OF ours stands alone as
the lighthouse of opportunity,
with problems ol her own. that it
should now be proposed to des-
troy group of business for the
cruc' and admitted reason that
they furnish the necessities of
life - the wage Garner and his ia
mil. at low prices"
1t IS significant that most of
the opposition to the Patman bill
has been based on the dangerous
principl it involves and the de-
structive precedent it would es-
tablish-and has not been based
on the narrow interests of the
chains themselves. Certainly. if
the power to ia. can be used de-
libe 'alely and with malice afore-
thought to destroy one kind of
busincss--and there can be no
question but what the purpose of
the Patman measure is destruc-
ton. not revenue raising-it can
be used to destroy any other busi-
ness. Under that precedent, no
mans source of livelihood would
be safe. And no mans investment
and savings would be protected.
The tremendous forces that
have voluntarily marshalled them
selves in the fight against this bill
cast an encouraging sidelight or
the way the American people
thirk and reason. Whether the
typ;, al citizen lil:es chains or not
he is convinced Of their right tc
exis; and serve those who patro
nize them, under a free competi
tive system. That is the American
system the system that is re-
spOnsible for ou; world economic
supremacy, and our unequallec
