Farm Parity Legislation

Last week, by the close vote of
206-20l, the House passed and
sent to the Senate bill to re-
store rigid price supports at 90%o
of parity for basic farm COM
moditieS. This bill, reversing the
Administrations program of
flexible parity scheduled to take
effect next year, was fought and
defended in a long debate pune
tuated with charges and count
exchanges of playing politics
with the farmer as the victim.
Supporters of the measure insist
ed that the continuation of 900
parity would restore farm con-
fidence, while Representative
Joseph Martin, opposing the bill,
declared it would 'leave the
farmer and the agriculture in
dustry in the same mess they
are in today and will continue
to pile up wasteful surpluses."
The prevailing feeling in the
Capitol is that the bill will en-
counter considerable difficulty
in the Senate and doubt is being
expressed that it will ever be-
come law.

ton is unethical, it is dangerous
to our liberties, and it is con-
cept which is essentially foreign
to our philosophy of political
freedom"
AS this is being written, the
Bill is being debated in the Mich
igan Senate. Reliable sources in
form me that it stands better
than a $3.50 chance of passing.
The same sources predict that if
it is enacted, Governor "Soapy"
Williams will veto it, and that
it would then have to be passed
over his veto to become law.
There seems to be no valid
argument against passage of this
political Freedom Bill" For
many years, most of the individ-
ual states have had laws forbid
ding corporations from using
corporation money for any par
tisan political purpose or on be-
half of any candidate for politi-
cal office. 1t is generally agreed
that these laws have been bene-
ficial in that they have prevent
ed corporations from dominating
the political scene.
Is it not reasonable, therefore,
that the same principle be ap-
piled by law to labor unions?
They should not be permitted to
rule the roost in the political
arena any more than did the
corporations before laws were
passed to clip their wings.
The Michigan Legislature will
render great service to all
workers and to all the people
Of the Wolverine State if it en-
acts this Political Freedom
Bill"
And as similar legislation is
being proposed in several other
states, the Michigan Legislature
can perform the further service
of setting the pattern for the
other states to follow. - George

The Tariff Bill

The Tariff Bill
During the past week, the
Senate amended the House-pass-
ed version of the controversial
Reciprocal Trade Agreements
bill and requested a conference
wherein the differences in the
two versions of the bill might
be resolved. Both the House and
the Senate have appointed con-
ferees, although no meetings
have been held to date. The re-
port resulting from these con-
ferences will have to be acted
upon by both Houses before the
bill can be sent to the President
for his consideration.
l have followed the debates
in the Senate closely and, al
though the provisions in the Sem
ate bill are more satisfactory to
our industries in southeastern
Ohio than those in the bill pass
ed by the House, l do not believe
that the Senate version goes far
enough in assuring that foreign
competition does not further
injure our domestic producers
and the men and women who
work in our industrial plants.
Three items in the Senate bill
are significant, however, and
would provide a measure Of aid.
One provides new authority for
the Tariff Commission to recon-
mend action of any segment of
industry, including producers of
raw materials, suffers seriously
from import competition. An
other measure included in the
Senate bill gives authority to
provide relief if imports have
contributed materially" to a
threat of injury to domestic in
dustry. The third would require
the Tariff Commission to make
public its recommendations for
action at the time such report
is submitted to the President.
Under the former law, these re-
Communications were withheld
from the public.

Each person who has been a
resident of Caldwell, at least for
some length of time, has long
been aware of the fact that the
village should be provided with
a municipal building to house the
mayors office, the council cham
Der, the local fire department,
the water works and electrical
office and supplies and for num-
erous other purposes.
For many years past at least
one building for these purposes
has been rented at a considerable
annual cost and the time to put
an end to this practice has ar
rived. Some time ago the build
ing on the extreme south end Of
West street, formerly occupied
by the state highway depart
ment, was donated to the village
of Caldwell by the state of Ohio
and is now occupied only by the
local fire department. And the
property on North street is still
being rented as the villages
municipal building-possibly be-
cause OF its more convenient loc-
ation-at the expense of the
local taxpayer.
The observation of this writer
during the past many years that
he has been officially affiliated
with one Of our leading financial
institutions has been that the
money one has paid for place
to house his family or business
has been so much money
thrown to the wind. In other
words, it would have been far
better financially for him had he
gone into reasonable indebted
ness-but in doing SO he should
first make sure that he can meet
his obligations in liquidating
such indebtedness. Then the task
would be reasonably easy.
Just SO in the matter of pro-
viding municipal building for
Caldwell. Bonds could be issued
with which to remodel the pre-
sent owned building and real
estate or to erect an entirely
new structure on the present
site. This is a matter within the
rights and hands of the village
council and should be given inn
mediate attention. This taxpay-
er-Wrlter endorses and approves
such course of procedure and is
Of the belief that the great bulk
of our residents are also so in
cllned. Hence, on with the move
ment.
The mayor Of our sister city of
GAINESVILLE issued an edict some
time ago to the heads of all city
departments to the effect that a /
strict and complete record of the
receipt and disbursements of all
supplies be kept If an employee
removes any article from its
place of storage, he must reim-
ourse the department to the
value Of such article.
The edict has been working
fine to this time, so fine that the
move on the part Of the mayor
should be emulated by mayors
Of all other municipalities in this
section.
However, since the edict be-
came effective several of Zanes-
ville's high officials have had
work done about their home
premises by city employees, and
materials furnished and a recent
county grand Jury
found indictments against them
and each has since been requir-
ed TO fully reimburse the city
treasury. And that's right and is
as it should be. This writer is
hopeful that he is not "treading
Dn anyone's toes.
