Now that the Senate seems certain
to follow the lead of the House of
Representatives and to reject the ill
fated so-called Brannan Plan, it
might be wise for each of us to re-
view the cogent and reasonable argu-
ments against this proposal.
AS it will be recalled, the Brannan
Plan was unfolded in early April
after great deal of advanced
publicity. 1t was supposed to be the
answer to all our economic and farm
problems wrapped in one big bureau
cratic package.
When the great farm organizations.
the plain farmers and millions of
thoughtful city consumers unwrapped
the package to examine what was in
it, they found it to be startlingly like
the same plans used in England and
other nations to fool the populace
and to subiugate the farmer.
The Secretary of Agriculture, al
ready the most powerful member Of
the Presidents cabinet, would have
become virtual ear over 100000
American farmers, if his plan had
passed. In England, where farmers
already have lost their freedom to
move about as they wish. plant crops
as they wish, and can not even paint
their houses without bureaucratic
permission, the Socialist government
pays out more than $4,000 100000 in
food subsidies each year. In this ma
tion, the amount undoubtedly would
be $4,000, ,000, or more.
The plan would regiment and con-
troll every farmer, his production and
his income 1t would require him to
keep books on every single trans
action, even such small items as
swapping a days work for q like
favor from his neighbor. Any error
would be punishable by fine or i'm
prisonment. Federal agents would
have to "audit" the farmers books
every year before he could be paid
the money due to him under the So
called plan.
IN other words, this plan would
destroy without doubt the rem
nants of our private enterprise sys-
tenn and the individual freedom Of
our farm people

scheme which would have destroyed
, without a doubt the remnants of our
private enterprise system and the in
dividual freedom of our farm people.
In the House of Representatives. we
voted overwhelmingly against the
Pace Bill, which would have put the
so-callcd Brannan Plan into effect
for a trial run" ON three commodi-
ties to be selected. Under this bill,
the Secretary could select three addi-
tional commodities every year from
now on upon which to experiment.
The cost of the experiment would
have been terrific and not even a
single bureaucrat would hazard an
estimate as to its ultimate dollar
cost, which would have to be paid, of
course, out Of evcr-increasing taxes.
The Gore bill, which gives farmers
rigid guarantee under long-estab-
lished parity formulas, was adopted
in the House and a similar bill is
likely to be adopted in the Senate.
Happily fot the nation, the Congress
once more has scored firm against
the encroachments Of the ever grow
ing executive branch Of the govern
ment.

Council Denies
EswOrthy Claim
Suit May Result

The County Council on Tuesday
denied the claim of former County
Commissioner George C. Esworthy
for payment of $50 he said was
due him for six assessment hear
ings held during the "lame duck"
sessions of December 1913 and
January 1949 while the Commits
sioners were serving as an Interim
Council.
Mr.. Esworthy through his coun-
sci, F. Barnard Welsh claimed
that, as a commissioner, he was
entitled to the special $40 per
meeting as well as his regular
commissioners pay. The council,
however, held that the lame duck
commissioners were entitled only
to the new council pay of $40 for
each regular meeting-not commits
sioners' pay. Once the charter be-
came law, the council held, the
five lawmakers ceased being COM
missioners.
When informed of the decision,
Mr.. Esworthy said he would file
suit to collect the money. He added
he also would attempt to obtain
payment of $4,000 which he con-
tended is due him as salary be-
tween last January, when the
council took office, and November,
1850, the expiration date of his
four-year term.
Council President Frederic p.
Lee, in the six-page opinion, quot
ed Mr.. Esworthy's attorney, as
saying the four other former coun-
ty commissioners were entitled to
a similar amount.
Actually Mr.. Lee said, the COM
missioners had been oyerpaid from
$85 to 1856 each for the period be-
tween the adoption of the charter
in November, 1913. and the date
when the council took office.
In response to a question by
reporters, Mr.. Lee said the coun-
Gil had not considered, "for the
present" the money which he
claimed had been overpaid. He
emphasized. however, that if Mr..
Esworthy files suit, the council
will file a counter claim.
