. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .
Congress has not always been


opposed TO subsidies. The farm
organizations have not always
been opposed to subsidies. Sub
sides are admittedly nice things
TO have when prices are down.
A soil conservation payment
is acceptable, even though it is
a subsidy. Crop loans are sub
sides when the market price
goes below the loan value; par
ity prices" are subsidies. They
are all acceptable, apparently,
just so long as they're not called
by the nasty name of sub
sidy."
Leon Henderson dragged out
the roll back" subsidy and got
busted for il. Claude r, Wick
ard invented the incentive
payment subsidy and got burnt.
Congress would have none of
either. Currently, the new price
administrator, Chester BoWles,
has been toying with the phrase
production bonus bat 1t has
Mt been formally presented as
yet and whether Congress would
like il any better is a question.
The need for the semantics ex-
pert is ever-present.
Before the House of Repre-
sentatives now is a bill which
would ban practically all food
subsidies after Dec. 81 A SINH
lar bill was passed by Congress
last July, only TO be vetoed by
the President. II this second sub
sidy ban should be passed by
Congress il likewise would
stand a good chance of recelv-
ing a veto, judging from the
sense of the Presidents long
food message. Hence the admin
istrations concern in finding an
acceptable word or formula 10
embody the subsidy idea while
still taking off the curse OF the
word subsidy itself.
FARMERS VIEWPOINT
The reasons or the excuses for
the farm bloc's dislike OF sub
sides al the present time aren t
hard TO find. In the present fav-
orable farm price situation, they
see chance 10 get the farmer
out Of debt, in which sad state
most farmers have always been,
ever since the founding Of the
country. Farmers today admit
they are making more money
than they ever did, and the fig
ures prove II. Farm income IS
way up. Rate OF payment on
farm loans is way up. Savings
are up. Farm failures and forced
foreclosures are way down. Two
years more of unlimited high
prices would put the farmer on
easy street--so the farm leaders
think and so they talk and agl-
tate.
The threat Of initiation appar-
entity scares no one al all. And
there is a very curious reilec-
ton on this business of the SCI
ence Of precise meaning and
sense development of words, II
all the distrust and fear OF the
word subsidy" could be shifted
over on the word Initiation
and If all the lovely aspects of
initiation could be fastened on
to the word subsidy" then
there would no work for the
professor Of semantics 10 do on
this issue in wartime govern
ment and economics.
What the Presidents food
message does do is draw the line
of battle on the subsidy issue.
That ii is all the President s
workmanship is Of course a
naive idea. This is the War Food
Administration program, and If
you were to shout demand for
Author" on tbs message. in
the VIA wings Of the Depart
ment OF Agriculture buildings, a
head would probably pop out OF
every door TO take blushing

Russia.
Particularly is that true OF
the great number of tanks the
Nazis have assembled. II is the
largest tank armada that has
been brought together as sin

Another complaint is the matter
of meetings. The Citizen was I'M
able to learn this morning when
the board held its last meeting.
Some county officials said they felt
sure that no meeting has been
held in the last year or so. while
one official guessed, 'tOh, eight or
ten months age"
Several instances We're cited of
zoning law violations that had
gone unchecked. One of them
concerned the building of houses
little larger than cabins, on a
main street next to a structure
that recently was improved at a
cost of $4,000 The little houses
are built of salvaged lumber,
which resembles patchwork, and
the occupants of the house, which
is a credit to the city, complained
unavailingly about the patchwork
construction.
