the price Of bread has gone UP
one-third.
If the shirt you are wearing
cost 81. the farmer got only
twenty-five cents for the cotton.
The middleman takes more of
your dollar and the farmer gets
less.
The Republicans say the
farmer is going broke because
of SURPRISES. When the President
vetoed our farm bill last week,
he asked for a soil bank" The
administration has been a long
time coming around. But I'm
glad it finally got there, just as
l hoped it would come around
to 80 per cent of parity.
The soil bonk was q single ideo
-. The Democratic Congress
hos fovored it for years"
/ The soil bank was a simple
idea. We have known for a long
time that the cure for SURPRISES
was to cut crop acreage. If the
farmer let's acres lie idle, he does
not get any income from those
acres. Under the soil bank, the
Government would pay the farm
er part of the income he would
have received by planting those
acres. The farm bill had this
proposal. The Democratic Con-
gress has favored it for years.
Since 1854, however, the Presi-
dents own Secretary of Agricul-
ture has been calling the idea
unavoidable" 1t seems lots of
things are workable" in an
election year that don't work in
other years. The bill which the
President vetoed made the soil
bank mandatory. But if he wants
to do it. the President has had
the power all along under the
Soil Conservation Act of 1885. I.
think President Eisenhower can
rest assured that the Congress
will give him $l.2 billion to set
up the soil bank.
1t often seems to me that i'll
is the Republicans who worry
about SURPRISES, and the Demo-
Gratis who worry about the
farmers. sometimes suspect
that the Republicans feel there
wouldn't be any farm problem if
farmers would just go away.
That is why they always move
half-heartedly and too late.
I A farm depression came to the
United States under President
Harding. A second farm depres-
sion came under President
Hoover. The Republican Party
is now pushing us into a third
farm depression. This happens
because Of basic difference be-
tween the two parties. The DEM
ocratS worry first about the in
dividual. The Republicans for
get about the individual and
worry only about the economic
problem.
The vitoI figures ore not the
percentage points or the doIIor
symbols"
The Administration deals only
in cold, statistical terms. The
vital figures are not the per-
centage points or the dollar
symbols. The all-important num-
bers are men. women. and chill
dren-people Nike you and me.

make ends meet Fathers and
mothers concerned about their

have their rightful day in court.
Today the farmer, faced with
constantly declining income.
needs his day in court-not only
for the farmers good but for all
our good. I hope that those of
you who live in our big cities and
in our large towns, on our broad
prairies and our fertile fields, on
our farms and ranches, will think
about the farmer tonight and in
the days ahead.

Texas saying: Thank you and
Goodnight and God Bless You.

abandoned his flexible supports
The day he vetoed our farm bill
for 80 per cent of parity. he
dumped the sliding scale. and
gave the farmer 82l2 per cent
for cotton. SO per cent for rice
81 per cent for wheat, and Sc per
cent for corn.
President Eisenhower even put
into effect the same price sup
ports on milk and butter fat
which he had criticized Congress
for passing.
So it is not just partisanship
when I say there is only one
consistency in the Eisenhower
farm program. In 1852 and in
1856 the Republicans favor high
supports. In 1853 and 1854 and
1855 the Republicans favor low
supports. They favor high sup
ports in election years and low
supports in nonelection years
The farmer and Congress know
that next year is not an election
year. If the past is a guide to
the future, General Eisenhower'S
Republican administration will
go back to rs per cent next year
II 1T is still around at that time.
We Democrats feel the prize
support program should be con-
sistent. 1t should enable the
farmer to plan his operations in
election and nonelection years
alike.
President Eisenhower's veto hos
cost the formers 81 billion for
this yeor."
President Eisenhower's veto
has cost the farmers So billion
for this year. The farmer knows
that his income in the last three
years of the Republican admin
istration has dropped from $14
billion to $11 billion.
The farmer reads that corpo-
rate profits increased "a per cent
since 1852.
Dividends have gone up "a
per cent.
Landlords get 10 per cent more.
Wages and salaries are i'm
10 per cent.
The farmer is not opposed to
such splendid economic gains.
He just wants to share them.
But the farmers share has not
gone up. 1t has gone down IS
per cent.
The country proSperS - the
farmer goes deeper into debt.
Farm mortgage debt has in
creased a billion dollars each
year for the past three years.
In the first six months of last
year, farm mortgage debt was
the largest for any siX-month
period recorded in the history
of this Nation.
Now this farm bill and this
presidential veto are only one
chapter in the fight of the Demo-
cratic Party for the farmer. We
will fight again. We will fight
for credit for the farmer; we will
fight to keep his interest rates
low; for his protection against
disaster: for disposal of the sur
pluSes to people in need-some-
thing which President Eisen-
hoWer'S administration has done
little about in the last three
years.
I'VE will fight again for 90
per cent Of pority =. and
we will win :"
And We will. l promise you,

know your food bills are usu-
