POLITICS ABOVE ALL

Will Congress become a laW-breaker? We
all hope NOT. Its Constitutional duty is to
make laws for the benefit of all the people
and not to smash them. During the ROOse-
welt Administration the President took
charge of all labor strikes and settled them
in his own peculiar way in favor of the Labor
Bosses. The Taft-Hartley Law was enacted
by the Congress to protect the public. Sena-
tor Byrd, Democrat leader from Virginia re-
minded Congress the other day that it must
consider the welfare of our country and that
it is not doing that when it lends it's support
to the President of the United States in his
present surrender to William Green, presi-
dent of the American Federation of Labor
Green demands the repeal of the Labor Law
Senator Taft reminded Congress that "hun-
dredS of thousands of collective bargaining
agreements had been made under the Taft
Hartley Act" and no one had the nerve to
dispute that declaration. Some of those
strikes were against the general public, and
President Truman-tO his credit-brOught
them to final settlement In short, the Taft
Hartley Act has been efficient and helpful to
our people President Truman in his cam
paign cOddIed the Labor Bosses, thereby
gaining their political support That alli-
ance won the Democrats their victory in last
NOVember's election. Apparently the AFL
preSumeS that it has the right to boss the
Democrats in the White House and in Con-
gress. Isn't that "dirty pOlitics?" Let's con-
suit the record: The Democrats in Congress
voted with the Republicans to override the
Two. .NetOes of President TElman. Those Dem
Ocrats were Obeying the dictates of cOnsci-
ence when they kicked those political VetOes
out the window. If the Wagner Act is to re-
place In whole or in part the Taft-Hartley
Law then Congress is a laW-breaker. There
is nothing in that kind of performance that
would give Congress any right to claim as
lawmakers. The position taken by Presi-
dent Truman is surrender to the Labor
Bosses and there is only one way to account
for that surrender-it is lOw-grade politics.
Most OF the best statesmen who belong to the
Democratic Congress are standing UP against
the assassination of the best labor law in
history. If brains and honesty win the battle
IN Congress, the Taft-Hartley Law will be
strengthened by some amendments. To res
urrect the Wagner Act corpse would be about
the most unfortunate thing that could hap
pen. Labor laws are just like other laws.
They must protect public interests and our
courts have done well in uphOlding clean
American justice. Are we so dumb, we peO-
pie OF the United States that we want selfish.
political partisanship laws to rule us? There
Is no legislation on the statute books filled
with more constructive qualities than the
Ia1t-Harley Act. We don't want a Republ-
can labor law. We don't want Democratic
labor law. We want law just like the Taft
Hartley Law which protects every worker in
his rights. 1t is law that protects EMPLOYERS
and the public. 1t is law that stands for
equal rights to every citizen in the United

Subsidies were given to Civil War veterans. then
to Spanish War veterans and later to World War
veterans These subsidies started in a small way,
but here again, they have constantly increased
Labor has received subsidy by Government sup
porting labor unions and permitting us consumers
to be assessed for increased wages
Perhaps the greatest subsidy is that paid to un-
needed government employees. To supply these and
other funds INCOME TAXES were invented 1t is
well to remind younger readers that the normal
income tax in 1913 was only or 2q6 and the highest
tax for the richest people went up to only So This
has gradually been increased that the normal is
now over 2OP5 and the taxes gradually increase so
that the rich people pay over 900! Hence the farmer
is justified in asking that he likewise be taken care
of as well as these useless government employees in
unnecessary government bureaus.
THE FARMERS FUTURE
Many talk of Parity as a temporary affair, but
can assure farmers that it will be just as perma-
nent tariffs soldiers PENSIONS labor legislation
and income taxes. The Parity Program may be
adjusted from time to time in accordance with
general conditions; but farmers can depend upon it
forevermore. I forecast that from now on whatever
the Administration the farmer will be taken care
of he should be.
The above is one reason why l am optimistic on
good farm property insurance. Large commercial
FARMS may De attacked as other large corporations,
although they also deserve protection. I believe,
however, that the small Sustpnancp farms which are
fairly near good communities are an excellent in-
Surance. Every family own such a sustenance farm
somewhere. This does not mean to leave good city
job and go into farming business. I do not rec
ommend small farming business, but I do rec
ommend 1t as an insurance, and as place to live
and get your food clothing and necessary shelter in
case of World War III. Furthermore as people wake
up to the importance of such insurance, these farms
will become more in demand and hence. should be a
good Investment if bought at a right price

When the annual candy cOnsumD-

1873 pounds per person it's high
time we find out how you are using
your share. This figure is as
pounds higher than the pre-war
level.
We all recognize the purity Of
the ingredients and the sanitary
conditions under which most Of it
is made. Then most of us will lend
enthusiastic support to any dis
cussiOn of the delicious taste of
chocolate, nuts, caramel and maple
creams. Each of these makes its
nutritiOnal contribution i'm calOr-
les or few vitamins when nuts are
used. SO a piece of candy is a
wholesome product But lS.S
pounds represents a great many
pieces.
Eating candy after a meal and
when there is an opportunity ID
clean the teeth has the hearty an
prOVal Of the nutrition people. This
assumes you will not call these
people One-half hour later and ask
for a reducing diet) But eating
candy before the food requirements
are met and having the safety val

tite for other foods may have ser
iOus results.
There is evidence that eating car

The candy bar or bars for lunch
which take the place of required
