CL, un der act at March 3rd, 187& THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE On next Monday, July 4th, the peo ple of the United Statee celebrate the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The document proclaiming the in dependence of the thirteen English colonies in America, signed by the delegates to the Continental Congress, was, in some particulars, no more than a recognition of the existing states of affairs. Signed by John Hancock, the President of the Con gress on July 4th, the Declaration was subsequently engrossed on parch ment and signed by fifty-three mem bers of the Congress on August 2nd. Undoubtedly, the Declaration of In dependence ranks as one of the im portant documents of history. Large ly drafted by Thomas Jeffersoon, it expresses the essence of his political philosophy. This, briefly, is the idea that men are created equal and en dowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Moreover, to secure these rights, gov ernments are instituted among men and derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. Moreover, the Declaration asserts whenever any form of government becomes destruc tive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundations on such prin ciples, and organizing its powers in such form, as shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Jefferson pointed out that prudence will dictate that government long established should not be changed for light and transient causes and that the experience of mankind has shown that men are more disposed to suf fer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the form to which they are accustomed. But, he 3aid, when a long train of abuses and usurpations evince a de sign to reduce them to absolute des potism, "it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government and to provide safeguards for their future . security." In other words, the Declaration of Independence proclaims the right of a people to revolution. It proclaims, very positively, the right of citizens to alter or abolish existing forms of government, when, for any reason, new forms seem more likely to pro mote safety and happiness. It seems strange in this day to re flect that the Declaration of Inde pendence, which proclaimed the prin ciples of the colonists in their war for independence, does not express the spirit of some of the descendants of the men who fought under General Washington. Human nature bring what it is, it is perhaps inevitable that there should be a large number of people in every country devoted to the established order, whatever it Is, ? ajiu nowevtu. a niaj wwfwwni? I Certainly, the writer admiias the handiwork of tboee who framed the | machinery of the Federal Govern-1 ment But, at the same time, became we believe in the principles expressed 1 in the Declaration of Independence,! we find ourselves more tolerant of! those who advocate change.

BORAH WANTS TO KNOW. ] (Hag* SL SUm, Washington Corrca-1 The seriousness of the agricultural I situation in the United States is ap-l predated) whan one realises that Con- J grass has appropriated more money! for the farmers than ever before. In I addition to the many millions of dol- J Lars appropriated for the regular ac-1 tivities of the Department of Agricul-1 tore there has been made available,! for payment, in 1989, a total of $760,-1 000,000. An even $500,000,000 covers the! Soil Conservation Program and pro-j rides for benefit payments to farm-1 ers who keep their acreage within the I allotment set An additional $200,-1 000,000 have beat provided in special benefits, with $48,000,000 being avail able for sugar growers. Just before! dosing, Congress appropriated $212,-1 000,000 for crop parity payments to those who grow the five crops speci fied, including cotton, com, wheat, tobacco and rice. The $212,000,000 for parity pay- j ments on these five crops was voted although Congress did not follow the I advice of the President who has in sisted that no such payment be voted nwl?? Congress provided the revenue necessary to make the payments. The purpose of these payments is to sup-1 plement the income of the farmers! from their 1938 crop and to help the Department of Agriculture in secur ing compliance with its acreage re duction program. I This last appropriation is based on the theory that the farmers of the I nation are entitled to "parity" in comes as compared with other groups. Previously Congress has declared that a fair return involved giving the farmers the same purchasing power J in terms of non-farm products and services, that they had in 1909-1914. During the period farm prices were considered to be on an equality with industrial group. The price of the specified commo dities, however, has dropped so low in recent months, that even the $212, 000,000 made avilable by Congress is not expected to do more than give the farmers seventy-five per cent of parity prices. For example, in May,l cotton was only fifty-two per cent of the parity price, wheat was sixty-two per cent, and corn sixty-three perl cent. Unless the prices advance, it is possible that the money voted will not be sufficient even to carry out the limited purposes of the provis-l ion. Sealizinx that in recent years, the! prices of farm commodities have been I cheaper than industrial goods and services, thus placing the farmer atl a serious economic disadvantage, I Congress allocated the parity pay-J ments as follows: Cotton, $86,400,000; corn, $68,800,000; wheat, $63300300; with the balance apparently $6,000,-1 000 going to the other crops. As Congress closed . its session, j Senator Bankhead took occasion to I laud the Administration's provision! for the fanner, pointing out that ag-1 "cultural income had increased from ( 14300300300 in 1982 to $8300300, 000 in 1987. He declared that the! farmers' share of national income in] 1982 was five per cent leas 9mi half I the ratio established in 1937. More over, he insisted, the farmers have! shown that they approve the program I of restriction. He cited the votes! on the tobacco and cotton programs] where eighty-five per cent of the] former and ninety-two per cent of the j latter supported the restrictions pro-1 V1QM. Ill the closing days of Congress, Senator Borah, of Idaho, urged a ?weeping investigation of speculation in farm products, predicting that it would save "millions and millions of dollars" for agricultural producer*. Mr. Borah effectively answered the a._ M aS ,1 a 1 yg limenT^ ox uio&c WHO convcDu yimv the fanners of this country have lost their foreign markets hecsnse of prices induced by the program follow ed in the past He pointed eat that, in frnrHrrnt*'"' the tion of gold, prices of basic agricul tural commodities in this f^'nlry are "ruinously low" and near the bottom of "recorded history." Certainly, if foreigners can bay oar farm pro ducts aj prices that ere below or nesr Jfo lowest ever recorded, there is no justification in contending diet high prices in this country have lost the foreign markets for agriceltural pro ducts. ^dor?

The re port states that the bulk of farm im plements and machines are produced by a relatively small number of large manufacturers and that prices are maintained by extensive exchange of information about prices among the manufacturers. The smaller com panies tend to follow in the train of the two larger companies. The re-1 port also reveals the character of the "Farm Eqiupment Institute," a prop aganda agency devoted to counteract ing attacks on high equipment prices. The methods used by this Institute, says the report, are strikingly similar to those which were used by the Pub lic Utility industry. In brief the report revealed a con centration of control and a system of price maintenance, defended by the Farm Equipment Institute, an agency of the manufacturers, which concealed its origin and purpose.; Moreover the report disclosed the propaganda meth ods of the manufacturers and referred to difficulties placed in the way of certain types of farm cooperatives whose activities threatened to upset the price structure. SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY Miss Mabel Dixon entertained at a surprise birthday party for Miss Helen Judy at her home on Grim mersburg street Tuesday night at 8 o'clock.
