Hold Your Hat

! He is the same man who calmly re-
garded England as already licked in
the grim days of the blitz. Remember
how in January, 1871, he warned US
that the attempt of our government
to prepare our defenses was part of a
diabolical plot by international bank
ers, royal refugees, and British
agents?" 1t was here that the confused
prophet mistook our Rhodes Scholars
for the British fifth column, and along
in here he warned Germany that we
were sending troops to Iceland
He is the same man who said in
1910 Let us face these realities in
stead of DOGGY stories about air bases
from which giant hordes of plans will
bomb New York, st. Louis and New
Orleans"
How are you realities doing in these
first days of the atomic age, SEN
ator?
Where Would We Be Today?
If this nation had listened to your
preaching of isolationism rather than
preparedness, appeasement rather
than principle, and obstructionism
rather than craftsmanship, where, oh
where, senator, would we be today?
Remember how he said in 1910 that,
mo one has attacked us and no one
is going to attack us?"
Remember how he worked to per-
suade us that CONSUMPTION would be
the death of democracy? BY his pro.
phecy we should now be a military
dictatorship instead of a country hell
bent on rehabilitation. On August 81,
1910, this misunderstanding man
stood up in the senate and said EN-
act peacetime CONSUMPTION and no
longer will this be a free land, no
longer will citizen be able to say
that he disagrees with a governmental
edict flushed whispers will replace
free speech; secret meetings in dark
places will supplant free assemblage;
labor and industry, men and women,
will be shackled by the chains they
have themselves forged"
He told us in this same speech that
the CONSUMPTION bill would, silt the
throat of the last democracy still liv-
ing" and that it would accord Hitler
his greatest and cheapest victory"
He said that con the headstone of |
American democracy he (Hitler) will |
Here lies the foremost vic |
tim of the war of nerves"
How is that for prophecy? How is
that for nasal pore-gazing?
Remember how the senator's nose |
influenced his voting in a great and
crucial period for the American peo-
pie? He voted against CONSUMPTION,
against lend-lease, against ship seiz-
ure, against the repeal of the neutral
ity act, and against UNNRA.
Well, he's back folks, this discred-
ted medicine man, to tell us the aw-
'ul consequences of coming of age
md of acting our age. Yes sir, he's
got himself some figures to scare us
with. He says that it will cost us $3.50
/ year to live in a prosperous world.
He has a pious hope that the voters
won't count up the cost of denying
he future before July 16.
Let's fool the old boy Let's see that
he joke is on him this time

this question: "Now, let's see how the
Anaconda, the Montana Power Com
pany, the banks and all like them
would want me to decide?"
With Mansfield as a candidate for
reelection to congress from the first
district and John Holmes as a can
didate from the second district, it
seems unlikely that any other candi-
dates will venture into the race for
congressional seats on the democratic
party.
Perhaps we don't get in touch with
the good people because there is
distinct dearth of gossip about candi-
dates on the Republican ticket But
they'll show up in time, no doubt

The passage of this bill will not
interfere with the continuance Of ex-
listing voluntary organizations or
agencies that provide medical or hos
pital services. On the contrary, the
health insurance system would pro-
vide new opportunities for them to
provide more service. An insured per-
son may choose such an organized
group, rather than an individual ply
sician, if he prefers, and be entitled
to receive all the insurance benefits
which the organized group is equipped
to provide.

taxes. So do the large regional co-operatives.
They pay corporation, property, real estate
and every other important tax that any privately
owned corporation pays.
Your Co-ops cannot pay an income tax for
one very simple reason. The simple reason is
that the savings do not belong to the Coop.
They belong to its members. The savings go
back to the members
Amy corporation or private company can
do the same. If it distributes its net earnings
among its customers it need not pay a single
cent in income taxes on the amounts that it dis
tributes.
There's a reason for this. These savings
Cooperative makes are not net income. They
actually are reduction in the cost Of service
or in the cost of goods to the members Of a
Cooperative.

Co-opS Are Paying Taxes, Too!

Millions of Americans are now paying their
income taxes.
Undoubtedly you are one of them.
Maybe you thought your tax was pretty
stiff. And you had to dig deep down into your
pockets to pay.
But you know that it takes money, and lots
of it, to win war. That's why you were more
than glad to do your part. You want everybody
else to do the same.
Then maybe you heard somebody whisper
that Co-ops do not pay taxes. That started you
to wondering. So you want to know what the
facts are
Here is the truth about Co-ops and taxes:
Every Cooperative pays taxes. 1t doesn't
matter whether it is local Coop grain elevator,
or creamery or an oil station. They all pay

Veterans Go Back to the Farms
(NeW York Sum


 Some pessimistic prophets observing the strong tendency in this country to live in crowded cities, and needing also signs of improvement in ways and means to travel to cities foresaw grave postwar labor troubles for farmers. Farmers had 50 many of these as direct result of the that probably many of them can now imagine nothing than the shortage of they had already weathered when war ended. But maybe the prophets like those in other fields, wrong. The number of persons working farms July l not only exceeded H. 58o0O0 but actually nearly 500OOO higher than were counted on the same date last year.
 One for the increase is that about 1000 900 discharged veterans living on farms Some of these have taken work other than agricultural but the indication is that an encouraging number of men recently out of uniform either working on their own farms, have been hired for farm work The Bureau of Agricultural Economics cites as among the lack of housing in cities and the increasing availability of tires and gasoline The return to farms of countless industrial workers longer needed in war goods factories has added substantially to the increase.
 Though seasonal labor troubles will doubtless continue to disturb farmers a much more serious condition is lack of new machines Many of those thousands of veterans who buying farms or operating farms owned by their families need tractors milking machines, balerS and many other kinds of equipment One current estimate diScoSes that there are more tractors and tractor operated machines on farms now than before. Last year American farm machinery of value of $1600O000O abroad where much of it aids in feeding famshed peoples But the next decade is likely to bring mechanizaton of American farms at a more rapid rate than at any other time in this countrys history. The working population on farms will continue to fluctuate with business conditions but the saturation point for farm machines is not yet in sight.

400 in the number of employees in the executive branch of the Government, ordered by Budget Dirctor Webb is that it has been long in coming In that period it reasonable expect substantial tapering off of swollen Federal payrols Taxpayers find it very difficult understand why the executive branch should still have 2686 900 employees the figure given for July 1 compared to 887, 800 before the Experience affords basis for assuming that gov ernment agencies whole will shrink to their pre- war size. But vigorous action in reconverting Gov ernment would have brought more progress in that direction than has been made to date
 Delay in releasing Federal workers who no
 longer essential to the national welfare is especially unfortunate because of the urgent demand for power in various other fields of employment. If conversion had produced great backlog of unemplot ment, the reluctance of the Government to trim it's own payroll could be readily understood. But the number of unemployed is only fraction of what it was expected to be, and the dearth of workers in some industries is still acute Certainly this is favorable time for downward revision of Federal payros wherever that is feasible without encroachment upon essential public services.

CAPITAL CHAFF

You don't always expect political warnings from the Army, but last week Army Intelligence gave the Joint Chiefs of Staff a complete analysis of the Allied occupation of Greece. Significantly the report stated that the British are treating Greece more and more like a col ony. The Army warned that unless the British withdraw, Greece will be plunged into civil war. Act ing Secretary of State Dean Ache son opposed sending the carrier FDR to Greece. However, Mrs. Roosevelt's nephew, U. S. Ambas- sador Lincoln MacVeagh, insisted, and Acheson finally yielded. !. <. Senator Vandenberg, now in Paris, peppered the State Department and White House with cables that the United Nations importance in the eyes of the world would be tragi- cally reduced by postponement, that the preliminary four to six weeks of the LIN Assembly would be devoted to non-controversial matters any way, would in no way hamper or be hampered by the Paris confer ence. Van. however, was vetoed by the Russians.

C0H0E PRICE K
 RAISED 2 GENTS
 FOR pAC. COAST

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Pac- fife Coast fishermen have won a two cent pound increase in OPA ceilings on silver cohoe salmon.
 The price agency said the increase to fishermen would not raise the canners' or consumers prices be- cause canners will absorb the in crease.
 OPA said the action will lift the ceiling to II 1-2 cents pound for silver salmon other than troll caught, delivered in Washington or Oregon outside of the Puget Sound area.
 The increase, effective immed- lately, is retroactive to August 31. At the same time OPA indefinitely extended a two cents a pound in- crease previously granted on steel head and sockeye salmon, allowed June 28
 The agency said this will main tain normal price relationship be- tween the three species of salmon.

MURRAY GETS TOUGH

How deadly in earnest Murray is about no-strikes- at this time was indicated by a verbal battle he had with Harry Bridges of the West Coast Longshoremen during last June's threatened CIO maritime strike. Bridges was determined to call his men out. Joe Curran of the National Maritime Union thought an agreement could be worked out without a strike. Mur- ray sat as arbitrator.
 T will not have maritime strike at this time charged up to the CIO," Murray told Bridges. If you succeed in staging a strike, I'll dis own you publicly, Harry Bridges. And I'll do my best to throw you out of the CIO."

OpA RE(0NTR0L PRICES GO INTO
 EFFECT SEPT. E

Local OPA headquarters announc- es that prices on all products of livestock, cottonseed and soybean recontrolled by order of the Decon- trol Board will become effective in Alaska September 25.
 Livestock includes all mean and meat products; and cottonseed and soybean products include shorten ings and salad oils.
 In the Boring Sea and Bristol Bay area, which represents the areas of Alaska affected by the winter freeze up, recontrols will not become effective until January l, 1947. This concession was obtained by the Alaska division of OPA be- cause of the fact that approximate ly three-fourths of the winters supplies were shipped north during the period in which controls were not in effect.
 Reindeer meat controls will be- come effective everywhere Septem- Der 16
 The postponed Alaska recontrol dates allow almost a three week lag from the effective dates Out side. which were from September B through 5. The Alaska office of OPA was able to make this change in order to give retailers an opportunity to clear their shelves of stocks bought above present legal wholesale ceilings.
 Early next month a revised list will be issued of the prices of all commodities under specific price controls. Under recontrol, prices will be slightly. higher than under previous ceilings, because of in- creased prices granted the livestock industry. p

STOCK MARKET SLUMP

Washington economists have beer closely scrutiniZing the stock mar ket situation While no one expects Truman's two-bit bankers from Missouri to know much about the stock market, some of the old Roosevelt economists who worked with the Securities and Exchange Commission for years still have their ear to the ground Here is their private summary of the Wall Street situation:
 The market slump was caused largely by mass of panicky small buyers who figure depression is coming and want to sell out first. The big buyers didn't sell. Many of them even came into the mar ket to snap up bargain prices.
