A Generous Foe.
A few days ago the Republican
National committee was presented
with a bill for 13 thousand dollars
by a Hollywood throat specialist for
throat treatments given the Republic
can presidential candidate during the
late campaign. 1t will be remem-
bered that shortly after the Republic
can nominee started on his campaign
his voice gave out and the throat
specialist was called in to give him
treatments. The bill calls for $3.50
day for the So days he travelled with
the candidate, during which time he
kept the candidate audible if not
logical. Now comes Congressman
John E. Rankin of Mississippi, than
whom there is no ranker New Dealer,
and proposes that the Democratic Ma
tional committee pay one half of the
bill which would indicate that there
is yet such thing as gratitude in
this world.
Plans Changed.
My last letter carried the an
nouncement that 1 would spend at
home the recess voted by the House.
At the time that my letter was
written it was generally believed that
the recess would be for two weeks
or more. The recess resolution passed
calls for but 10 days, which is too
short time at home. Then, too, there
are number of items of importance
to the district and the state that I de-
sire to have incorporated in appropri-
alton bills, so have decided to post
pone my trip home until later date,
possibly in May.
A Good Bill.
Congressman Youngdahl of Mime
apolis, has introduced bill in Con-
gress (H R. 4168) which would make
the Minneapolis Weather Office a re-
gional bureau that would give us
24-hour service. Mr.. Youngdahl was
prompted to introduce this legisla-
ton because of the heavy mortali-
ties that marked the two billiards
that visited the northwest this WIN
ter There should be no opposition
to Mr.. Youngdahps bill. Our section
of the country is entitled to 24-hour
weather reporting and we must have
it if our people are to be at all times
informed on pending weather condi-
tons.
Fixes Farm Prices.
Secretary of Agriculture Claude R.
Wickard has just announced the gov
ernment's program to stabilize prices
received by farmers for the follow
ing farm products: Hogs, cwt. SO;
dairy products Oasis of butter lb.)
Sic; chickens, Id. 15c; eggs, dozen &c.
These prices will be paid by the gov
eminent on Chicago basis and will
hold until June 80, 1943. 1t is also
noted from the release of the Secre-
tary that these prices will be sub
ject to the customary commercial diff
ferentials for market grades and
qualities.
The prices set by the Department
of Agriculture are far below cost of
production or parity. 1t is there
fore apparent that the government
intends to hold down the prices to
be received by farmers for the pro-
ducts of American farms. Members

On Presidents Order
Back in September, 1889,
President Roosevelt asked the
FBI to take charge of all inves-
tigation relating to espionage,
sabotage, and violation of the
neutrality regulations.
''This task, said the President,
must be conducted in a compre-
hensive and effective manner on
a national basis, and all informa-
ton must be sifted out and cor
related. -"
Using this order as his spring
board, Director Hoover and aides
went to work. The plan they
evolved is simple.
