Of commerce, speaking at the an

McFadden said agriculture lack

OF its own problems. The fact that

in this direction to a greater extent
than any other farmers of this ma

Hawk Warns |. Y.
Farmers TO Heed
AAA Rulings

/ L. c. Hawk, chairman OF thg
county agricultural conservation
committee. Saturday warned val
I ley farmers not to employ practice
which tend to defeat the purpose
of the AAA program if they desir.
to secure 1910 payments.
While these practices have al-
ways been prohibited under tht
AAA it was only recently that .
definite ruling was establisheC
which will cause payments TO b.
withheld or lowered in case OF vio-
lationS.
Hawk suggested that farmers stu
dy the following rules.
Entire payment will be dcnicC
any person who;
|. Forces his tenant or share
cropper TO pay him all or part OF
any 1910 parity or conservation pay
ment due the tenant or sharecrop-
per as result of his participation
in the 1910 agricultural conServa-
ton program.
2. Requires his tenant or share
cropper to pay in addition to the
customary rental, a sum of money
equal to all or part of the govern
ment payment due the tenant on
Sharecropper.
3. Intentionally dcprivcS or at
tcmptS to deprive his landlord. ten
ants, OF SharecrOpperS on the far.r
of payments to which they are en-
titled by omitting their names from
the application for payment or 9TH
er official documents which must
be filed for the farm. by incor-
rcctly showing their share of the
crops or Soil-building goal or by
otherwise falSifying the record fol
the farm.
4. Requires that his tenant or
sharecropper make an assignment
OF AAA payments tor purpose now
permitted by AAA regulations.
5. Complies with the program
on a farm or farms operated by
him as an individual, but offsets
such performance by the farming
operations of a partnership, asso-
citation, estate. corporation, trust
or other business enterprise in
which he is financially interested
and the policies of which he is able
to control. If the enterprise carries
on its operations to qualify for
payment and one of the individuals
offsets this performance by his own
operations, no payment will be
made to the individual on his own
operations, and the payment to the
business enterprise will be reduced
by the amount which the state AAA
committee finds to be in line with
the individuals financial interest
in the enterprise.
Deductions, figured on the basis OF

be made from the payments to
any person who:

gram on a farm in one state. and

t2) Rents land for cash, stand

Washington. - Scrutinizing the
election returns and applying the
conclusions drawn from them to
the probabilities of the future,
the best qualified observers in
Washington are forecasting that
the two most vital topics which
will engage the attention of the
nth Congress will be Labor and
Agriculture.
! The election of November was
carried by the Labor vote. The
electoral votes obtained by the
Republican candidate came chief
ly from Agriculture. The situa-
ton thus created puts it up to
the Administration to try to find
new ways of bringing the farmers
of the Middle West back into De-
mocratic fold and holding them
there, and it gives the Republi-
cans and the anti-New Deal De-
mocrats definite target to shoot
at, in trying to convince Organ
lied Labor that all Republicans
are not. enemies of the working
man.
Warning to New Deal
The loss to the Democrats of
the solid block of mid-Western
agricultural states, from the Ca
madam border down to Oklaho-
ma, taking in Colorado on the
west and Iowa on the east, is
considered here as a definite
warning to the New Deal that its
agricultural policies have not
been satisfactory to the great
bulk of the farm population.
There is little doubt that siren
uous efforts will be made to rem
edy that situation by amending
the AAA and the thought is ris-
ing in Republican minds of the
possibility that Senator McNary's
farm program, which was highly
favored in the pre-Roosevelt
days, may again come into its
own. Though defeated for the
Vice-Presidency, Mr.. McNary re-
tains his seat in the Senate, with
increased prestige; also, there are
four more Republican votes IN
the Senate than there were in the
10th Congress.

and it's Congressional supporters
undertake to do to appease the
farmers, therefore, probably will
have to be done with Republican
assistance, and if the Republicans
play smart enough politics they
! may come out with the greater
share of credit.
In the matter of the Labor is
sue, the job before the Republi-
cans, as Washington sees it, is to
take an advanced position in mat
tiers of Labor legislation and also
in regard to exemptions from tax
alton of important industries.
The Republican ticket, analysts
declare, was defeated by the votes
of the workers in the great in
duStrial centerS. .-...,...s.... A..
Interests Opposed?
Members of organized labor
groups had been sold on the idea
that their interests and those Of
the Republicans were diametri-
cally opposed. Therefore, while
Willkie carried almost all the ru-
raj districts and smaller commu-
mites outside of the Solid South,
he carried only one city of more
than four hundred thousand
population. That was Cincinnati,
the only industrial center in
which the workers are not thor
oughly organized. It is also one
of the highest strongholds of
Republicanism in America.
Perhaps the best illustration of
the way in which the Presidential
vote was distributed between ur-
ban and rural areas was in New
York State. Out of its sixty-tWo
counties. Mr.. Willkie carried fiji
ty-five; but the other seven in
Guided three of the most populous
boroughs of New York City and
the four great industrial cities of
Buffalo. Rochester, Schenectady
and Troy. And in those counties
the reports of all observers are
that it was the labor vote alone
which carried them for Roose-
welt.
The Labor strategy of the
Loyal Opposition" as Mr.. Will
kie has designated the coalition OF
Republicans and Independents,
has not yet been clarified. For
that matter, the attitude OF the
Republican members of Congress
toward any kind of a program IN
which they would not take the
leadership is still somewhat sus-
picious. They don't know how to
figure the political amateurs"
who played such a large part IN
the Willkie campaign, and who
seem to be figuring on taking a
strong hand in the new opposition
movement.
Congressional pride does not in
cline members to cooperate with
anv outside groups, and party
regularity balks at making polltl-
cal bedfellows out of citizens VINO
were Democrats, or goodness
knows-whats before this last cam
naien. To which the obvious an
swer is that the regular Repuoh-
can ORGANIZATION under Congress
sional leadership didn't get very
far politically until the amateurs
stepped in.
The suggestion has been made
that Republican Chairman Joe
Martin, who was safely reelected
to Congress, has the chance OF a
lifetime to bring amateurs and
professionals together to form a
united front in preparation for
the Congressional elections OF
1912 and the next Presidential
campaign. That this can be done
without any commitment to Mr.
Willkie as the 1914 candidate IS
the belief of the shrewdest poll
teal observers in Washington,
who are the newspaper cores
pondents who travelled on the
Willkie train.
