Yankee Blacksmith Won Fame the Father of the Steel Pow

Although It may be true, as the
author of "Plowman's Folly" de-
clares, that today "the moldboard
pillow is the villain of the worlds
agricultural DRAMA" it was not so
true a century ago when the pio-
neers of the Middle West found in
its broad expanse of open prairie
sod, tough with the toughness of
thousands of interlaced roots of the
tall rank-growing grass, that was
very different from the loose gravel
ly soil they had known back East.
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1943-10-01

1t was rich soil-there was no doubt
about that-but there was no drain
age and the heavy loan chung to
the iron-shod moldboard of the pillow.
So the pioneer plowman always
had to carry wooden paddle with
him. Then, when his straining oxen
couldn't pull forward another step,
he'd have to jerk the pillow out of
the ground and clean it off with his
paddle. But it was only few min
utes until the sticky muck had rolled
up on the plowshare like balled snow

on a mans bootheel and the clean
ing process would have to be repeat
ed all over again.
Under such conditions it looked
as though these prairie lands, rich
as they were, could never be farmed
satisfactorily. Then, in 1887, a
Yankee blacksmith changed all that.
He gave them pillow that would
"scour" itself. His name was John
Deere and he was the Father of
the Steel Plow," the man that con-
quered the prairie sod.

A Thought for Today
Sidetracking the Constitution

The administration is working out
plans for United Nations Relief Admin
iStration. The original version is being
revised to meet objections of congress-
men. The final draft is expected to be
acceptable to Congress as whole. It Is
not, however, intended to submit the
agreement to Congress for ratification.
President Roosevelt, Premier Churchill,
presumably Premier Stain and Marshal
Chang Kai-shek will sign, and then Con-
greSs will be asked to appropriate, by
joint resolution, the funds necessary to
finance the scheme. A joint resolution
will require only majority vote in each
house. Ratification of a treaty would call
for two-thirds vote in the Senate, where
upon the House and the Senate, each by
majority vote, would nave to agree to the
necessary appropriation. The net effect
of the method proposed is, Of course, to
avoid the constitutional mandate that
the Presidents treaty-making power must
be exercised only "by and with the advice
and consent of the Senate :. provided
tWo-thirds of the senator's present
X concur"
4 So far as relief project is concerned this
is of no particular Importance. Relief
can and should be provided by executive
action except as to the raising of the
funds But word is circulating among
persons who usually are very well in
formed as to administration plans that
this is sort of trial balloon to test out
a new shortcut to treaty-making, in
order to avoid the situation which arose
after World War when small group OF
senator's more than third, less than
half-blocked approval of American men,
berShip in the League OF Nations. AS
Raymond Clapper writes, "the relief adj
ministration is but the first of many Or
CARNATIONS that are expected to be Gre
ated as part of the United Nations"
Some will be of emergency nature, like
the relief organization. Others will be
semi-permanent - or more than semi
and may influence our international re-
lationships for years to come.
Does the American public want those
alliances to be made by the executive,
with no check beyond CONGRESSES control
over the purse strings? If so, there is
nothing in the Relief Administration
subterfuge about which to worry. If,
on the other hand, we have found the
Senate check upon the treaty-making
power to have been, on the whole, desir-
able, then the current run-around is
mighty important.

Short Memory

Public memory Is generally short-lived.
A public service well performed by either
an individual or company Is soon for
gotten - If, in fact, it Is ever recognized.
For many years, candidates for political
office and elected public officials have
made votes and popularity for themselves
by attacking so-called big business.
Many have even gone so far as to promote
the substitute of government-oWned en-
terprise (socialism) for private enterprise.
And they have .profited, temporarily at
least, by such appeals to an uninformed
or nisinformed public.
It is therefore interesting to look at the
record. Industries, such as railroads, Oil,
public utilities, fire Insurance and chain
stores, which have taken the worst lam
basting at the hands of political prima
donnaS, stand today among the few en-
terpriSeS in the nation whose prices or
services have actually been reduced
steadily, while initiation was at our
Threats, or their prices have not advanced,
or unavoidable advances have been at
the very minimum amount compared
with other goods end services
The question then arises, did constant
political warfare against such Industries,
over the past generation, tend to build
strong and efficient companies that could
Withstand attack, or were these private
enterprises established on such sound
basis at the beginning that they have
been able to render the maximum service
for minimum cost. in spite of the
attacks?
Look at it any way you want - the
fact remains that big business, if you
please - actually the biggest business'1n
our country-is giving the people more
for their money, dollar for dollar, than
at any time in history.

wyoming Ever since then it has sought
to extend the parks boundaries to In
clude more land than the Congress, the
state Of Wyoming, or the county Of Teton
was willing to set aside
every effort ended in failure. But
the bureaucrats were not to be denied.
Although national parks can be created
only by an act of Congress, an old law
provides that, without such an act, small
areas of land owned or controlled by the
United States may be set aside as national
monuments for the preservation Of his
toric landmarks. And so, last March, a
flourish of the pen on an Executive
proclamation did what Congress had re-
fused to allow Without notice or public
hearing to the ranchers living in the area,
to the state of Wyoming or to Congress,
and area half the size of Rhode Island
was made into the jackson Hole National
Monument The law invoked by the
bureaucrats had been intended to apply
solely to lands owned or controlled by the
United States yet sizable part OF the
area taken over in this high-handed fash
ion is privately owned.
"Policies are no longer being planned
and carried out by the people or their
representatives, but through Executive
order by employees of the Executive arm OF
government" And that, Mr.. and Mrs.
America, is bureaucracy at work.

THE ITALIAN DECLARATION
New York Herald Tribune)

King Victor Emmanuels declara-
ton of war on Germany formally
completes q process which still
seems as startling as 1t is extraor-
dinary-the shift of a great modern
nation from one side to the other in
the full tide Of q major war. Two
reasons, doubtless, lie behind the
Badoglio governments decision to
take the final step. One is the de-
sire to preserve for Italy as much
Of place as is now possible in the
Allied victory which has become ul-
timately inevitable. The other is the
Germans. There Is no reason to
doubt Marshal Badoglio's intima-
ton that the latter was the con-
trolling one. There is something al
most awe inspiring In the power of
Nazi Germany to make embittered
enemies out Of even the friends and
allies who come in contact and saw
age achievements; but the CONVEX
sion of the Italian ally into q de-
clared enemy will remain as among
the most remarkable.
Italy now stands in the cu1. Is
position of a co-belligerent beside
the powers to whom she has sur
rendered. At war with Germany,
she is bound by the terms of the ar
mistice with the Allies: she is still
obligated to accept the political
conditions which were left for later

In the price Of oil at home. The
oil companies have been put
ting tremendous pressure on
Economic Stabilizer VinSon and
the Government generally to
grant them an increased price

oil Is now priced SO low there Is
