A Radical innovation

A recent meeting Of high digni-
taries of the Congregational church
decided that it would recommend to
the ministers of that denomination
that the ministers take more Wig
orops stand on political matters,
even to 60 SO far as to urge the
election or defeat of desirable or
undesirable men from their pulpits.
The council believes the church
should take more positive stand
on such matters as labor and capital,
race prejudices, worldwide politi-
cal cooperation, peace treaties and
economic questions.
That would certainly be a break
with past practices. 1t might be
wise for the churches to take more
stalWart stand in the controver-
sizes that are engaging the atten-
ton Of the world today insofar as
they touch on right and wrong, on
justice between man and man. But

Courageous Men
Needed

It's a courageous thing for man
seeking high public office to take a
stand against the wishes of the peo-
pie. When such man considers the
action he advocates vital to the well
fare of the country, it shows that he
places the national good above his
own personal ambitions. Wendell
Willkie stirred up much COM
ment throughout the press of the
nation when last week he advocated
a heavy increase in taxation. He
says the tremendous debt must be
paid if the country is to be saved
from financial disaster, that people
are making more money now than
they will be making in later years
and are better prepared now to pay
heavy burden Of taxation; that it
is unfair to create huge national
debt and then ask the boys now
fighting our battles to come home
and help pay the debt. They and
their children Will have to help pay
this debt anyway. The least we

Not q Pretty Picture

AS we have said before, no one
can argue against the right of the
soldier to vote. That is admit
ted. But whether or not it is a
practical thing is another question
altogether.
The great hullabaloo now being
made in congress over this matter
is largely matter Of politics Pres
ident Roosevelt and his partisans
are very, very anxious to have the
soldiers vote and they place their
desires on the high plane Of fair
ness to the soldiers But it is be-
lieved a large majority Of the sol
diers would vote for their COM
mander-in-chief, which, Of course,
is Roosevelt. The opposition fears
this may be true and it is not SO
anxious to tackle the tremendous
job of arranging matters so the
soldier can vote.
On the other hand, much opposi-
ton to a federal ballot for the sol
diers comes from the democratic
South. The Constitution declares
that the states shall control the
machinery for the voting of Their
citizens. The South fears a fedora
ballot in this instance would enc
in another weakening of states
rights.
All in all it isn't very prett,
picture. Men in our highest office:
trying to gain political advantage
and attempting 10 hide their self
ishness behind the cloak Of pretend
ed justice and fairness to our fight
ing men.

can do is to make their part Of
it as small as possible.
That wasn't a popular stand to
take and Willkie undoubtedly knew
it. But that seems to be the nature
of the man. He doesn't hum and
haW and tread softly for fear Of
losing a vote. He apparently seems
to place first what he believes to be
for the welfare of the nation.
Willkie has a lot of enemies in
his own party. 1t is doubtful if he
can secure the nomination he seeks.
But one must admire him for his
courage. For a long time America
has needed more men in high Of
flee who would do what they con-
slider right regardless of the effect
it might have on their own political
fortunes.

marked: He's the kind Of man
who's always been independent and
doesn't want to be told" He doesn't
like the New Deal. He is 81 years
old, and farms 400 acres.
The other Is William Sinkular, who
raises cattle, sheep and hogs, and
most OF the grain which he feeds
them. In the last few years he has
netted between $4,000 and $4,000
a year from his 1920 acres. He
was the first around Gregory to join
the Non-P Partisan league, one of the
first to speak up for the Roosevelt
administration.

The Ladies' Propose

How comes the accepted tradi-
ton that it is the woman who pro-
poses in Leap Year?
1t seems to have originated in
Scotland during the thirteenth CEN
fury, when there was a preponder-
ance both of unmarried women and
of timid men A law was passed
which decreed that when matri-
monially-inclined lady approached
an eligible gent during Leap Year,
he had to say Yes Or fork over a
fine.
Apparently that solved the spin
ster problem for the Scots. for soon
similar laws were enacted in France
and in Italy Thus the tradition
was born.
The women of America, however,
waited neither for government de-
cree nor for traditional Leap Year
to propose wedding themselves to
industry when our country was i'm
periled. History will record their
considerable achievement in war
production as we'll as in the uni
forms of the armed forces.
Some of them may remain at
work in postwar, due to the sacri-
fices paid in battle by their bread
winners.
But the great majority of war
working women will prefer, sur
veys show, to return to their do
mestic duties and doings. They will
resume their usual utilities and
their feminine frills with the CRATE
full thanks Of us all, and the inner
consciousness Of a job-voluntarily
entered into-nobly done.

ing row starting right in the church
itself when preacher would adj
veeate from his pulpit action dia-
metrically opposed to what many of
his congregation believe politically.
1t might end in a lively mess, in
deed
However, there is another side to
the question. The church should, of
course, be leader in the fight for
right and justice. We read and hear
a great deal these days about free
dom of speech and of the press.
Should we deny to our preachers
that same privilege, even though
they might advocate what one does
not believe politically?

Usually, the Republicans have
carried the county by a slight ma
jority. In 1924, year of the Coolidge
landslide, the COP got 81 per cent
of the votes. Again last year the
Republican percentage was the
same. But in the first New Deal
election Roosevelt left the Republi-
cans only 26 per cent of the vote.
and in 1885 AZ per cent. But in 1910
the voters veered to the other side,
and SO per cent Of the votes were
tailed under the Republican en-
blem.
Even though the people of Greg
DRY dislike many things about the
New Deal, they do not forget the
years when the Triple A saved them
through seed loans. helped them to
hold their produce for better prices
and brought new ways of farming
that made the prairie soil more
profitable.
Most of them think today that the
time has come for a change. This
is true even OF some OF the most
staunch defenders Of the New Deal,
who feel that the administration is
becoming too entrenched in power,
too set in its ways, too far away
from the people.
Gregory is on the edge of the cat
tie country, but there is extensive
growing Of wheat, corn, barley and
forage along with cattle, hog and
sheep raising.
Here Is to be found the con-
dict Of social and political trends
that underlic the whole fabric Of
American politics today - the
clash between the conservatives

Dramatically illustrating this con-
fiict are the views of two men liv-
ing on farms that are close together,
both OF whom took up homesteads SO
years ago when the land was opened,
both OF whom have had their ups
and downs, but are today more pros
porous than ever before.

Educational Program
Helped Country

Now let BILL Sinkular state his
case.
THE New Deal-not the whole set
up-gave the farmer an educational
program that's been a life saver
for this country. In 1884 this coun-
try was desert. It had been ruined
by dust storms and drouth. In 1884
! received $1,000 for seed, and it
saved my farm.
"But l don't think all the SUBJ
sides they are paying out now
are necessary. All that money
that's being paid out now to
farmers who are prospecting
must be paid In by somebody.
don't think the subsidies are
an attempt to buy votes; but
the farmers themselves should
know that imitation won't do
them any good.
MANY farmers would take any,
thing they could get hold Of, and
yet these same men are the great
est enemies of the New Deal-the
men who have profited most from it..
H. E. Mckee, vice president and
director Of the Northwest Security
National bank, and manager OF the
Gregory Branch, strongly supports
this anti-inflation point OF view. He
has seen the deposits in his branch
mount from $75l 900 at the end of
l94l to $4,000 today, and in the
same period has seen loans decline
from $694,000 to $430,0 Farmer
spectators are buying up the land
today at prices that are too high, he
declares.
In the last year." he said, s'the
Regional Agricultural Credit corpo-
ration has been lending money to
anyone who would take care Of more
livestock to increase the meat sup
ply. In 1910 there were 1852, 900
head OF cattle in the county. To-
day there are more than three mil
hon head It is the same with sheep
and hogs; and it is about the same in
other Western states.
What we are doing is laying up
an enormous surplus on the farms.
II they let this go on for another
two or three years it will wreck
farming. Well have the same con-
dition that occurred after the last
war"
