PACE TWO THE FRANKLIN PRES? AND THE HIGHLANDS MACONIAN THURSDAY FEB, IX Three Extensive Projects Discussed in Washington Interest Centers On Flood Control, Reclamation, Soil Conservation (Special to The Press-Maoonian) WASHINGTON. Feb. 24. Pas sage of the Supreme Court Retire ment Bill will make only a slight change in the status of the Jus- IT.. .1. . it. . : j. 1 Justice of the Supreme Court may resign at 70 on a pension of full pay,. $20,000 a year, for life. Justice Holmes, who resigned at 88 "and lived for four years longer, is the only one who has taken ad vantage of this law in recent years and he refused to take his pen sion. One reason why 'others have not done so is that their work on the Bench is so integral a part of their lives that they do not like to give it tip and go into enforced idleness so long as they are still able to perform their judicial duties. Another, though probably a less compelling reason why Supreme Court justices retain their seats when , they could resign, is . that their pensions would be subject to income tax, 'which their salaries are not. Always a Member The retirement bill permits any Justice to retire from active ser vice on the Bench at or after 70, but he is still a member of the Court, . as a retired officer of the Army, and could be ' called upon for special duty at any time.

" The original purpose of the bill, which has been considered by pre vious Congresses, was to extend to the Supreme Court the same re tirement privilege now enjoyed by judges in the lower Federal courts. The purpose back of the present revival of the plan, however, is to .make it easier and more attractive to some of the older Justices to retire now and so create vacancies .in the Court which the President Resulting From uscuLif nam EXPOSURE .

Hood Dust Reclamation Next to the Supreme Court issue, Washington's interest is centering upon the extensive projects of flood control, desert reclamation and soil conservation, which are taking con crete form. ,lhe reclamation project, interest in which has been stimulated by the recent recurrence of dust storms in Oklahoma, outlines a long-range regional project taking in all or parts of ten states. . ' The Federal Government, the state governments and local authori ties in these ten states would co operate to put several million acres back into grass and develop meth ods of protecting settlers on the til lable lands of the region and pro viding financial assistance to. such as might need it. Relief of sufferers from the Ohio Mississippi floods comes ahead of projects for. the prevention of fu ture floods. Due to the Tact that so much of the $790,000,000 just .ap propriated for the, W. P. A. and other relief agencies will be needed for immediate relief work in those river valleys, Relief Administrator Harry Hopkins has asked Congress for another $200,000,000, which he will doubtless get. . "Disaster Corporation" Loans Congress also passed and the President has approved a bill cre ating the "Disaster Corporation," authorized to lend up to 20 million dollars to flood sufferers, who can not obtain sufficient credit from ordinary channels for rebuilding their homes., sh,ops, farms and. fac tories. The Recdnstruction . Finance Corporation is to supply the capital.f The Administration's agricultural proposals, as now shaped up, in elude five major projects; in the in terest of agriculture. One is con tinuance of the soil conservation subsidy plan, estimated to distribute an annual benefit of 500 million dollars with larger subsidies in times of big -crops. N Plans are. also about matured on new legislation ior stronger volun tary and compulsory production control than was called for in the original AAA., , A third proposal is an enlarged crop insurance plan, to protect farmers against the ' hazards of weather and insects, with the cost of insurance borne partly by gen eral taxation. - ; ' Fourth is an entirely new project for cash and credit advances to in dividual tenant farmers who want to work their way from tenancy to farm ownership. The fifth is a broad system of price-fixing loans on major crops, coupled with government-financed storage of sur plus commodities. - Those are. the, elements of the completely integrated agricultural program which was worked out and unanimously approved ' at the conference of 50 farm leaders with the Secretary of Agriculture and other Administration and Congres sional leaders held here this month. The new farm program eliminates one of the major grounds upon which AAA was invalidated by the Supreme Court, which held that the processing tax for the benefit of farmers was an improper use of the government's taxing power. The new plan would impose no special taxes, taking the necessary funds from , the general revenue instead of putting the whole burden upon processors of agricultural com modities. . 1 v The tenant-farmer project has been mapped on a large scale There are estimated to be about 3 million farmers, scattered all over the nation, who do not own their land. The plan proposes to advance government funds to the extent of ten million dollars a year to en able tenants to buy approved farms, which would provide for 2,000 or 2,500 farmers annually, Spates are to be urged to reform their, tenancy laws, which are gen erally regarded as less fair to the tenant than are the land laws of England. . .,', Under this plan the government would 'buy millions of acres and resell to farmers who are now tenants such parts of it as are suit able for farming. Speculation in farm land is to be discoiiraged or prevented, and1 land pncesL mortgage interest and other credit regulated by law. Ideal Co-ed ft - m ai m. fcn-i-in, NEW YORK . . .

The motorist plan ning a trip to any part of. the United States will find in the Al manac a chart giving accurate mile ages between important cities. Lord's Acre Movement Spreading Rapidly A movement rapidly' spreading among rural churches is ;that of having members set aside some special plot of ground or give' a definite part of the proceeds from some special project to the church. A comment by Dr. John W. Hol land in tThe Progressive Farmer is as follows: f "This Lord's Acre movement em phasizes Jhe farmer's partnership with God.' It plans something defi nite fori each one to do.. It works in the open where the results may be seen and measured. It will take some , of the indefiniteness out of what we call 'Christian stewardship.' Thousands of people will find their spiritual . life quickened into new ness by the sight of things 'growing solely for God.' Thousands of boys and girls will develop characters which will always feel the influ ence of thus working for and with God. One may not have so much as an -acre to spare, but in that case a smaller plot or some other activity will provide something for G6d's work.
