on the part of our unions and
the men who have undertaken
to lead them.
We have been so afraid of
destroying the effectiveness of
organized labor that we have
put it in the way of destroying
itself-or the rest of us. We
have assumed, and quite
wrongly, that the unions in
time would grow up if but
given legal security and other
wise left to their own devices.
We have assumed, and even
more enormously, that the
mature forces of unionism
could always in a pinch pre-
vail against labor's Juvenile de-
linquents and impose effective
discipline upon them.
Unfortunately, such has not
been union experience. The
field has been wide open for
the development of rackets and
radicalism, of graft and politi-
cal conniVery, of underworld

New Farm Laws Needed


With the courage of his conVic-
tions that has long characterized
the Secretary of Agriculture, Mr..
Benson has provided each men,
Der Of Congress with a thought
full response to a request from a
Congressional Committee that he
discuss the need for changes in
farm legislation.
1t was pointed out that num-
Der OF grave weaknesses are
present in our price support
laws. The statement contends
that price supports and controls
are not effective in reducing
overall agricultural production.
According to the report, support
prices have actually overstimu-
lated production of several basic
farm products in this country
and abroad, and have impeded
their normal flow into construc-
tive use. And, most discouraging
of all, while failing to correct
the income needs and surplus
problems, they have restricted

socialistic fashion.
The report goes on to state
that Controls breed controls.
Payments through the acreage
reserve program were introduced
to encourage underplanting of
allotmentS and reduce the divert
ed acreage problem. Some would
now extend acreage reserve pay
ments to feed grains. To dispose
of surpluses, we are selling agri-
cultural commodities for foreign
currency, and have expanded
programs, for direct distribution
of food-stuffs by governmental
agencies. Measures as important
as the Soil Bank and the surplus
disposal program, however tenn
porary in their intent, tend to
become self-perpetuating. There
is the risk that they may become
permanent"
The report concludes that price
supports, as required by legisla-
tion, make little or no contribu-
ton to loW-income farmers. In
TACT, these programs often work
against the interests of the fam
ily-type farm. Many farmers in
Southeastern Ohio have said the
same thing in my discussions
with them.
The outstanding news in the
report is the statement that parts
of the surplus problem are being
solved sooner than could have
been foreseen a year ago. This
gives rise to a new concern -
that if new legal machinery
which is both imaginative and
realistic is not provided, the
same costly incentives which
created the price-depressing sur
pluses will continue in Franken-
stein fashion to destroy the farm
| economy. Thus, a call has been
sounded to reVamp present legis-
lation allowing for a relaxation

$4,000 Interest

1t would be hard to make any taxpayer
in Caldwell believe that he would be help
ing to pay $4,000 in interest alone for the
next 20 years but this is exactly what will
happen if the village of Caldwell agrees to
purchase new engine for the Caldwell
electric light plant at cost not to exceed
100000
Such purchase for the local light plant
would be financed by the issuing of revenue
bonds and the above interest cost was figured
at percent interest for 20-year period.
In other words, the engine would act
ually be costing the Caldwell taxpayers
grand total of S227,200, which figures to an

Recreation Program

Members of the club will also act as super
visors at the evening dancing classes and
dance nights in the gym
The school has asked various civic
organizations and clubs to give their support
for it is only through their cooperation that a
project such as this can be successful on a
community scale.
The program calls for supervised
activity in the afternoon for the smaller
children with more advanced activities
planned for the older young people. This
recreation program is not confined to Cald-
we'll and all area young people will be
invited to participate.
Such program has sorely been needed
in this community and it is hoped that it
will continue to grow with each succeeding
summer. "

A summer recreation program is in the
making for Caldwell and area young people
with the Caldwell village school board taking
way.
The Caldwell board has offered their
facilities at both the high and grade school
buildings, as well as the athletic field at the
high school.
The Caldwell council has given their
approval of the project and the board of
public affairs will install light at the Cald-
well elementary playground in order that
night facilities may be offered.
The supervised program will be under
the direction of Bruce Nero, teacher in the
Caldwell schools. .....
The Caldwell Mothers club is getting
back of the movement and they voted $500
for the purchase of necessary equipment.

RACKETEERS CAPTURE
UNIONS
By Maurice r.. Franks

If organized labor begins to
look pretty bad to the Ameri-
can public, it's because con-
spicuous segment of organized
labor have been guilty of
mighty poor management
and also because the labor laws
of our land haven't gone far
enough to require better man.
agement on the part of our
union leaders.
The true fault, if the picture
is carefully analysed, is thus
directly attributable not so
much to the union leaders
themselves as to the general
public that now is so horrified
by the revelations of the past
few months. The fault lies with
all of us who have not insisted
that our legislators design
laws that would require full
and immediate responsibility
