There Is Hope

WHAT can be deduced from the re-
" suits Of the wheat referendum held
Tuesday? One thing for sure is that
the wheat farmers across the nation de-
flnitely disapproved the proposed 1864
wheat control program. That much is
obvious, but there appears to be more
to the story than simple disapproval.
We would say that all farmers are
getting fed up with being told what
they can raise what they can't raise,
how much, when, where, and not much
explanation as to why.
Perhaps this is definite sign of a
grass roots movement that will carry
over into other phases of the economic
life of this great nation. 1t is a repudia-
ton of more and more government con-
troll. Anyone who has had any dealings
with the present bureaucratic federal
government knows something of their
tactics. Everything is sugar coated with
a debated dollar bill, and if one dares
TO buck bit at the hard traces, he will
find that the money coated pill is quick
lE turned into a money plated whip
that will lash with economic fury de-
signed to bring the QUICKER back in
line with real and threaten financial re-
prisals
One threat the government has held
over the heads OF the wheat growers is
that the government can dump all of
It's SURPRISES on the open market and
ruin the wheat growers financially.
The wheat farmers have called the
bluff, and no one in any position of
authority predicts that the Department
of Agriculture will do this 1t would
be political suicide, and the Kennedy
boys are much too smart for this.
The Farm Bureau predicted in a
series Of talks around the countryside,
prior to the referendum, that additional
Legislation Will be needed if the wheat
program is defeated. This makes sense.
Let the farmers speak through their
excellent organizations to the congress-
men who will now consider new pro-
gram. If the wheat growers want a
reasonable support price it is theirs
for the asking. If the small wheat
growers wish to grow up to 80 acres Of
wheat for their own use there should
be no law in the universe to prevent
them this right in a country that lis

Why Editors Get Gray

THE following letter was purported
to have been written to the Plain
Vile Times Estate unknown). The let
ter to the editor is self-explanatory !:
Dear Editor, Please send me a free
copy of your newspaper containing the
obituary Of my aunt. Also publish the
enclosed clipped of the marriage of my
niece. And | wish you would mention
it in your column, if it doesn't cost any
thing, that | have two bull calves for

the brave"
The Farm Bureau which spearheaded
the battle against the unreasonably
strict program, used the battle cry, "A
return to economic freedom" And the
farmers have answered with a vote to
support this principle.
Some publications have predicted that
if the vote failed, Secretary of Agricul-
ture Orville Freeman would have to re-
sign. We see no harm in his resignation
Let's have someone who will come up
with a program that will give farmers
a reasonable security, plus the oppor-
tunity of reward for personal initiative.
The now dead, we hope, wheat pro-
gram was apparently the brainchild Of
one Dr.. Willard w. Cochrane, director
Of Agricultural Economics of the
USDA. This gentleman (who we hope
will resign with Secretary Freeman)
had as his objective the eventual eff
fectuation of government supply man
agement" of all agricultural products
In a statement to the Wall Street
Journal in 1861, he said
BY supply control l mean the conscious
adjustment of supply to demand, commodity
by commodity, year after year,
In his book Farm Prices Myth
and Reality, Prof. Cochrane wrote:
If farmers choose the supply control route,
they must do more than tolerate production
and marketing controls. They must come to
accept production and marketing controls in
the way that they do driving on the
right side Of the road. /.
In autumn, 1860, in Farm Quarterly,
he is quoted as saying:
Some of them would be forced in If you
had control on hogs, for example. and none
eggs, growers would transfer their corn
into the production of more poultry and more
eggs.
Robert b. Delano, president Of the
Virginia Farm Bureau Federation said
in a statement before the referendum !:
Professor COchrane is asking Virginia
farmers to trade their positive and certain
advantages of freedom and opportunity for
the pig-in-the poke benefits that are supposed
to come by way of his supply control theo-
ries'.'
Virginia Farmers have given their
answer. There is, indeed, hope for the
future

There is afoot a concerted,
though quiet, effort on the part
of the Labor Bosses to destroy
the right-to- work law in the 20
States that have it.
1t is a smooth move that re-
fleets the veneer of sophistica-
ton these hearties have acquir-
ed since the sos the dear, dead
30's when Walter Reuther was
leading his bloody goons in De-
troit.
AS you may have seen in your
paper, the Senate recently pass
ed a bill that would substitute
the neutrality-suspicious. system
in our urban areas.
That the government has no
business doing any such thing
is beside the point. I would call
your attention to the Labor-in-
spired section of the measure
that would make imperative the
right-to-work law of any State
that takes this urban-transit
money. Admittedly. that feature
is in the bill and is the effect
it will have if the House joins
the Senate in giving it a do
pass; it will destroy the force
and effect of right-to-work laws.
What is more, nearly all
Southern senators voted for it's
passage and some of them may
live to regret it. For it is that
sort of thing that is being s1nok-
ed out by the new breed Of
Republicans now rampant in
Dixie: They are seeking evil
dence with which to pin Demo-
cratic office holders on the
charge of selling the rights OF
their people for a mess of poll
teal pottage. And, I predict,
such Southerners will get what
they deserve: defeat at the
polls.
Because right to-Work laws
achieve the ends they seek. that
of Labor Management peace and
! personal liberty for individual
wage earners. the strife-ridden
Labor wars we have known
in the past have become, in the
main. a thing Of the past. AT
least the right-to-Work laws have
played a major role. these re-
cent years. in keeping things on
an even keel. Such laws, plus
autcmation.
Since this is so, we, as run
of-the-mill citizens. are inclined
to overlook the benefits these
laws have brought which is
understandable, what with Cas-
tro and friends punching us
around and one thing and an
other taking our attention. Blu,
we should come alert to ever
the most minute threat to the
elementary protection right-to
work laws give us.
The urban-transit bill is no
the only such threat. There il
another. Last week, a freshman
a man named Carlton Sickles. ;
Democrat, introduced a bil
that would repel Section 14-I
of the National Labor Relation.
