Farm Bureau Goes Conservative at Seattle Meeting . - < IrganizaliMii Demand ini: More Local Government In Dandling Affairs Seattle—America's largest 'arm organization emerged from its 34th annual convention prepared to fight for restoration of the vc— sj/onsiblities and authoiity of local government. Resistance to feder al domination was tht kevnote of dozens of resolutions covering many phases of agricultural and economic policy. These resolutions now become the blueprint for American Farm Bureau Federation programs and legistlative activity. They repre sent a continuation of basic fed eration policy But they put stronger emphasis on decentrali zation of government, stimulation of world trade, local development of natural resources, and inten sified agricultural research. With a change of admmistra tion m Washington, the federa tion has high hop.-s of a reversal in the trends which it feels have limited free enterprise more and more. But it realizes there will be no sudden repeal of many of the objectionable measures enacted in the last lit) years.

The problem is to provide reasonable price protection with out going to the extreme of price fixing.” The federation’s board of direc tors is asked to make a eumore hensive review of existing price support and production-adjust merit legislation in view of this and othei pruiples of the organi zation The resolution strongly opposes any expasion of the crop insurance program until it is "placed on a sound actual ba.-is Decenti.diz.ition Backed The farmers took a strong stand for action on decentraliza tion and coordination of govern ment. They urged the federation’s board to develop a specific plan. "Every program, they .aid. "should he examined to ascertain if it is actually needed, and it so, whether it can be reduced, com bined or decentralized, and to what extent it need coordination with other programs to avoid overlapping, duplication, and in efficiency." The resolution called for revi sion of the entire civil .-ervic* system "to insure that incompe tence is not protected; initiative is rewarded instead of stifled; federal employees in then dti eiai capacity, an prohibited from organizing or promoting causes not specifically directed by law; and Communists arc eliminated at all levels of government.” The Seattle convention afforded ^ abundant evidence that the think ing of farmers is becoming cryst alized on the moot issue of con trol ainj development of watei re sources.

Let's say it was thirty-one years ago, on a beautiful morning in June, when a farmer’s boy sat down on the grass beside his father’s mailbox. He was waiting for the cloud of dust that would signal the approach of the mailman's car. But the fust cloud of dust that showed in the distance was,not of the mailman’s making. It came from the wheels of a Cadillac filled with happy, friendly people—who waved and smiled and rolled away. “ I here,” thought the youngster, “is the car for me!" * * * And w hile the dust was settling on the grass and trees about the farmer’s lad, another boy stood b\ a rack of papers on a busy street in a distant city—and heard the friendly horn of another Cadillac. “Keep the change,” the driver smiled, as he took his paper and rolled out into the traffic. "There,” thought the hoy, .is lie elute lied Ins coin, "is the i ar lor au !" k k k Ami ut lie-i b i\'s, at wi irk and play, ware heal friendly Cadillacs that this - and the elreams grew in their h ai ts.
