"mOrnin' jedge"
Continued from Page y

If the saying Is true that God
loves cheerful eiver, Judge Harb
should have nothing in the world
to worry about as far as the good
Lord is concerned, for he gave
Marion Ross alias Rawls every
thing a Judge could give but free
dom. And for his generosity, i.
"Mornin' Judge" reluctantly con-
graduates him, not that we
thought he gave him too much, is
the reason | am reluctant, but it
is out Of my line to praise any
body for doing his duty. But since
Judge Harb is moving in what /
think is the right direction to
lessen crime among these young
punks of the race, he is deserving
of some praises.
This young Negro element of
ours here has just about gone mad,
and some drastic measures will
have to be taken to restore them
back to civilization. The court
fines have been absolutely too
light with the government drop
ping money here and there like
dew to be effective. What does a
man care about five or ten dol
lar fine who IS making from $50
to $l25 per week, after he has
been drawing a meager Sl2 en-
velope and was glad to get it 3? The
fines that have been imposed in
court on hahitual viola
tors simply meant that much more
added to their day of pleasure.
Take the case Of young Rawls,
who was arrested the night be-
fore and allowed freedom for a
ten dollar bill, came right back in
less time than IL hours looking
fer more and at this time he came
back ready for anything that
might come up. hut due to the a.
lertness of cool disposition of Of
ficer Mathews, he was taken off
the street without any serious con-
flict Now, my contention is that
if the young Rawls had been given
a day at hard labor with each dol
lar imposed, he would have had
plenty time to mediate over his
intentions and would have been
back in circulation probably a bet
ter man in far less time but as it
is now, according to the judges
liberality will no doubt remain
from circulation for something
over a year. Which sentence will
be worth it if it is used effective
ly to teach these other young
bad punks respect for
law and order. And for that rea-
son, as much as it is against my

STERILIZATION
OF FARM PRICES
AN OBJECTIVE

No one can question the desirable
ity of attaining the detectives outlin-
ed in President Roosevelt's radio adj
dress Sept z, namely. the stabiliza-
ton of farm prices, industrial prices,
and all wages, in order to prevent
initiation
The American Farm Bureau Fede-
ration has consistently and repeatedly
since October, 1871, urged Congress
to do these things. Congress has a.
dopted legislation providing for con-
troll Of prices Of manufactured goods
and the control OF farm prices. But,
due to administration opposition to
legislation controlling wages, no such
legislation has been adopted
Noncontrolled wages are the most
threatening factor in the possibilities
for initiation, and farm prices are
only a minor factor. A glance at the
figures will show that this is true.
Farm prices in June Of this year We're
ISL per cent of the base period, 1909.
1914, but the average hourly earn
ings Of factory workers were 397 per
cent Of the base period. As a result
of this situation, factory workers in
July of this year were spending a
smaller per cent Of their incomes for
food than at any time in the past 30
wears Tn 1929 wear of great DTOS-
perity for labor, workers were spend
ing 27 per cent of their income for
food; while in July of this year they
were spending only % per cent of
their incomes for food.
In view of these facts, it seems
unfair to place the blame for increas-
ed costs of living soley upon farm
ers. The fact is that wages are far
higher, relatively, than are farm
prices. 1t has been suggested that
labor is entitled to wages Is per cent
higher than in January 1941, at which
time wages were at an all-time high,
or 1855 per cent of the base period of
1909-14. AS a matter of fact, wages
are now in excess of this suggested
fire house on September 81 1t is to
be hoped that the quota will answer
the call and thus give Pocomoke an
adequate fire fighting force

increase, for the index of hourly earn
ings of factory workers in July Of
this year stood 1T 3g7 OF ri per cent
above January 1911
1t was thought wages were high
during the first World Wan, but the
peak Of labor wages during that per
iod was am index OF 278.7, i'm contrast
to the present index Of 397.
The American Farm Bureau has,
as indicated, been insisting since last
October, that initiation can be pre-
vented only by controlling farm
prices, industrial prices and all wages,
as wei las through extremely heavy
taxation.
The most recent pronOuncement on
the question is a statement adopted
by the Board Of Directors last week,
which was presented to President
Roosevelt last Thursday, Sept 3. In
that statement, it said among other
things;
Such inflationary trends as have
thus far been experienced are largely
due to steady rise in wages and their
effect upon industrial prices and their
influence in the determination of par
ity for farm prices. Certainly this
inflationarv trend is not due to a
rise in farm prices as even now, with
limited exception. farm prices are
only around parity. The Federation
has urged an economic policy affect
ing agriculture that called for govern
ment support of farm prices to only
IS per cent Of parity, ceilings upon
farm prices not below 10 per cent
of parity and this for the purpose of
assuring farmers reasonable oppor-
tunity of securing on an average, APP
proximately parity price in the open
markets Of the country and with the
least possible scupport, material or
otherwise, from the government.
st is also urged that the govern
ment not release commodities coming
into its control as a result of govern
ment support of prices below par
ity price in the market places of the
country.
This whole program has been di-
rected toward stabilizing the industry
of agriculture on basis of parity
with labor and industry Such pol
icy is necessary to insure the maxi
mum production that is so seriously
needed at the present time.
For the removal of inflationary
dangers from further rise in price
levels, we recommend and we urge
immediate action by the Congress
which extends full authority for the
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1942-09-25
