No! We're not guessing. One of your

the man who rifled your records could
find only one senator and six congress-

three of these are on either Agriculture
Committee. These seven and no more -

Two years ago we explained in sur

clumsy, taxgrabbing, pittance paying
hands out of our business. Last year
readers of another farm magazine re-
peated the demand - and corn farmers
emphasized it by voting 3 to l against

freedom and program of high sup

BabsOn Insurance
Statement Unfair

Editor of Herald:
Mr.. BabsOn's column in your
May 2 issue seems to have
been written in the good ole
daze" of long ago. He certainly
dates himself by writing II be-
lieve in insurance as that went
out with the buggy whip and fis-
cal solvency of the United States
Government.
do not think he is fair to
write an article about insurance
in general and emphasize the
fine print. Since he is a Sta
tistician, I challenge him to
name any industry in America
that is conducted on a higher
plane than the insurance in
dustry, excluding Blue Cross
and Blue Shield" which is not
insurance it is a glorified
collection agency for the doctors
and hospitals and is not under
State supervision like all in
surance companies. Blue Cross
and Blue Shield do not pay a
premium tax like every other
type of insurance company must
do, and what little supervision
they get through the Corpora
ton Commission is at the ex-
pense of the companies who are
taxed. How about that, Roger?

Letter To Congress
Farm e. Ranch

Gentlemen, let's face it:
You are not farmers You never have
been, you never wanted to be; and YOU
never will be. You know very little about
it.
You stand on stump sometimes and
play like you are a farmer be-
cause you may now own a farm, or
dream Of days you spent on farm as
a boy. But the facts are, you inherited
your farm or bought it after you got
the money some other way. You usually
pay somebody else to run it; and use it
as handy tax-deduction gimmick. You
still look on farming as a "way of
life; and talk stupidity about Sustain
ing" the farmer. You know very little Of
it as modern science or business. How
could you, since you lack both expert
ence and necessary time to really study
the problem.

idU not on moral interpretations made
by men. We have maintained from the
inception that the Court did not make
its decision on the basis of established
IaU. Herein lies our continued opposi-
ton to the decision and it's implement
ing orders.
1t is frightening to hear the principal
law enforcement officer of the United
States defiantly cite this case as an ex-
ample of occasions when the moral
sense Of a nation produced judicial de-
cisions" How far has this nation left
its legal mornings, and who is to deter
mine moral sense, or substitute it for
established law?
What has happened is that this has
been fomented by judicial decisions
through the illegal usurpation Of powers
definitely reserved to the states under
Articles X and x
Unless the people Of the United States
awaken to the seriousness of this de-
cision our nation may be abandoning
its Constitution and slipping fast into
a judicial oligarchy, or some other form
repugnant to Constitutional Republic,
provided in the Constitution.
Certainly there is need for concern
when the Attorney General acknowledge
es any case as an example of occasions
when the moral sense of nation pro-
duced judicial DECISIONS"

all investors. An uncle of mine
was once the operating Vice
President of the Northern Pa
cific, with his home in St. Paul
Once when l was going to st.
Paul to visit the family of my
late wife Grace X. Babson =
my father. Nathaniel Babson of
Gloucester, Mass, asked me to
call upon my Uncle John" and
ask his opinion as to the value
of Northern Pacific securities.
My uncle replied:-"Tell Cousin
Nat that the Northern Pacific
bonds are good; that the pre-
ferred stocks will probably work
out fairly satisfactorily; but that
the common stock today is not
worth the paper upon which the
certificates are printed" Yet
within two years this common
stock sold for one thousand dol
lars per share!
With this personal experience
it is difficult for me to advise
a present holder of Northern Pa
cific what to do. l think, how
ever, that good many North
ern Pacific holders will sell their
stock and switch into the stock
of Union Pacific. The latter sells
at about 80 and pays $l.60 divi-
dend per year. Union Pacific
is both rich in management and
has great mineral. oil, gas, and
other hidden assets. 1t is the
shortest line between Chicago
and the Pacific Coast and has
the least mileage to maintain
when making the trip, largely
on double track. do not recon-
mend any railroad or other
stocks in this column; but 1

stockholders are doing.

ATTORNEY General Robert Kennedy

Supreme Court decision of 1854 that

al. He cited the case as an example of

a great merged railroad system
from going into bankruptcy is to
diSnlantle at least one-third of
the mileage, and reduce the num-
Der of employees proportionate-
ly. This thought causes great
CONSERVATION among the labor
unions. They will not only fight
for their own jobs; but will
feel in doing so they are fight
ing battle for every railroad
in the country which is now
talking merger. But the expect
ed discharge of railway workers
likewise angers the thousands
of little towns along the lines
which should be abandoned.
These towns and way stations
think their life depends on hav-
ing a railroad station, especial
ly for freight. To a certain ex-
tent every railroad merger will
have these handicaps.
As the abandonment of a rail-
roads main line or branch lines
usually means that the roadbed
will revert to the county, state,
or Federal Government, the
newly merged lines will continue
to operate such portions of the
Northern Pacific as have the
mineral rights. This creates an
other paradox. Handling of the
freight by trucks would ordi-
narily be the answer; but
trucks would not enable the
Northern Pacific to hold owner
ship of all its valuable mineral
and oil assets.
Stockholders May Do

STAND BY the President!

STAND BY the President!
It's not as easy as singing
along with Mitch.
With all the patriotic will in
the world, you wonder if it is
good for the President and the
country to have him stood by
in blind adherence now as the
cult of the personal" continues
to grow in him, the will to gath
er all power unto himself, to be
party to all, the affairs of all
his fellow citizens, and with
FDR a flxation in>.hls philosophy
IF WE WE'RE actually at war
1t would be different. But the
cold war isn't war in that sense,
nor are the intimatlonS of war
in Cuba and Laos. 1t could be
that the President needs more
standing against than for on
some respects. For great in
stance his seeming inclination
to cast our lot with the dubious
new countries of Africa at risk
Of losing our friends in the
great Western World whose dis
ciplineS, values, nlaturities and
civilization were never so mean
ingful. 1t makes many of us
nervous when he seems to pro
pose by-passing European allies
in dealings with Africa. and
with Khrushchev Not all the in
carnations of civilization and
self-goVernment muttered over
Africa have made those people
adequate substitutes for the
European allies we are antago-
nizing to please Africa. or for the
Southern part of our own coun-
try we do not hesitate to de-
moralize in the same desire.
As for the tWo-man Summit
meeting proposed with Khrushc-
hev, again disreguarding Euro
pean sensiblhties and allies, it
might not be enough just to be
a superman there.
1t might require extra-sensory
perception yet.
1T ISN'T REALLY Standing

fatuously or if you lead him to
believe whatever he does or has

Babson Discusses Biggest Railroad Merger

BABSON PARK, MASS, May
1.-The biggest headache of any
corporation official in the United
States will be suffered, not by
General Electric officials, or
even those of the AT&T, but
by the man who must operate
a Northern Pacific Great North
ern-Burlington Railroad Merger.
Attitude Of Stockholders
First, this man may sometime
have the i'll will of the former
Northern Pacific Stockholders
who may feel they have been
robbed. l will not brag of the
railway traffic of the Northern
Pacific. Like most railroads, the
passenger business is a big loss:
but even the freight is declining.
But the Northern Pacific has
very valuable mineral, oil, gas,
and other properties with great
potential wealth. The only real
hedge against initiation is land,
of which the Northern Pacific
has some of the most valuable.
Second, let me refer to the
size of the planned merged rail-
road. l roughly figure that this
will have the greatest mileage
of any railroad in the United
States. A large part of this
mileage should never have been
built. Yet with millions of bonds
outstanding on these rails. it
will be very difficult to get the
necessary agreements by bond
holders to dismantle a major
part of railroad and iquidate
the rails, bridges, and rights-of-
way. A legal merger is simple,
but a division of the "spoils" is
exceedingly complicated.
Labor And Small Towns
The only way to prevent such
