A Straw in the Wind

Subsidies to agriculture are estl-
mated to have been at the rate OF
about 225 million dollars annual
". Congress has voted as high as
55S million dollars at single clip
for this purpose.
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
eenthau and other nIemebrs of
President Roosevelt's Cabinet and
the Fiscal and Monetary Board
are considering new-fangled
certificate plan" to replace direct
subsidies. 1t is a processing tvx
under a new covering. The con
sumers of the country would
eventually pay the cost of the
farmparity payments. The farm
program is certain to continue to
be the taxpayers burden.
Processing taxes were declared
unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court in 1886, but the Court as
we'll as the new processing plan
have both changed in their rela
ton to the existing situation.
Here's a straw in the Vird that
shows the direc ton of New Dea
planning to get plenty of money
for spending purposes for new and
experimental methods, outside the
budget.

ARIZONA IN
WASHINGTON

Almost everyone who speaks or
writes of the coming presidential
election seems to feel that Mr.
Roosevelt should have said a long
time ago just what he is planning
10 do in the matter of a third
term. Now there may be some
perfectly good reasons for such an
attitude, but it is not at all I'M
possible that as good an argument
exists for the Presidents keeping
mum. So let's forget our own
troublesome inquisitiveness for a
moment and look at the other
side.
Let us suppose you own busl-
ness and | am working for you.
Everything is going along nicely
and | am obviously doing a good
Job. | am promoted regularly and
my salary is raised accordingly. In
short. | am making my mark.
Now suppose I decide that in
about two years l am going away
| am leaving the job, never to
come back. Would I tell you
was going. two years before l was
ready to leave Not if | knew
what was good for me. On the day
you heard the news, you would be
gin making plans to fill my place,
and from that day on there would
be no more advancement for me.
You would not invest in me any
more responsibility than wa S
absolutely necessary. Long before
was ready to go, you would have
picked my successor and | would
be about as important to your bust
ness as last years calendar.
Therefore, you would get one
months notice and no more.
The natural answer, and a true
one, is that the President has no
moral right to further his own
interests at the expense of the
Nation. But this is another matter,
The Presidents job is not finished
until January 4, 1911, and there is
Just enough uncertainty about
third term to keep him in the posi-
ton of head man now. AS long as
nobody is quite certain that Mr..
Roosevelt will not be in the White
House next year, he will be able to
command that respect which is in
dispensable if he is to carry on.
On the day he admits his presi-
Dental aspirations have been salts
fled. his supporters will turn away
and ask for the name of the most
promising contender From then
until the end of his term Congress
and the Cabinet will pay little at
tention to his ideas.
Is it, then, to be considered
secretive and underhanded that
the President hesitates to send all
the busybodies away with the as
surance that he is all washed up?
A President who could not make
the front page, could do little else.
And a president, as a Garbo, can
hold us best with the charm OF
mystery.
