THE LINCOLN TIMES Compromise Loan Plan Is Worked Out By AAA; Big Job Ahead Washington, Aug 27.—Farm offi cials today began working out a solution to what is expected to be one of the government’s greatest bookkeeping jobs—figuring the 1935 cotton subsidy payments. Late yesterday, the AAA an nounced a compromise cotton loan subsidy plan to placate southern senators who, objecting to the an nounced nine-cent loan, hid block ed adjournment Saturday. Lend 10 Cents Under the new plan, the govern ment will lend 10 cents a pound on cotton of a stipulated quality pro duced under the Bankhead allot ment. The loans will be made only to signers of cotton control con tracts. Signers also will receive a sub sidy to equal the difference be tween the average price of cotton on 10 spot markets the day the signers sell their cotton, and 12 cents. Loans will be made only on cot ton grading 7-8 inch long middling, or better. The change was said to have eliminated about 200 000 bales from loan eligibility. Loan forms, the AAA sa'd, will be made available to producers next week, and the subsidy payments will be made on all sales of 1935 Bankhead allotment cotton . includ ing those already made. The guarantee of a final return of 12 cents, officials said, would not mean any increase over the guarantee assured in the previous plan. But the increase of a cent in the amount of the loan was said to have made available approxi v.ctely $50,000,000 more tnar, could have been lent. Under the previous plan, the AAA p.anncd to take the average price of cotton on 10 spot markets from September 1 to January 1, and pay producers a subsidy equal lo the dif ference between that one figure and i 2 cents. In other words, if the aver age were found to be 11 cents a pound, each producer would receive a check for a cent for each pound of . olton he produces under the Bank head allotment. Average for Each Dav Under the “modified” plan an aveiage will be taken for each day, Then every producer who sells cot ton on any d <y will receive a check for the difference between that day’s price and 12 cents. Official;, declining flatly to dis cuss the new proposal, admitted that the amount of bookkeeping required would be enormous. It was pointed out that many large cotton growers sell their cot ton in various amounts at various times. But the amount of the check due the farmer would have to be figured on the basis of each day on 1 which he sold cotton, and on the amount of cotton he sold. The adjustment payments will be made through the cotton year up to August 1, 1936. Under the previous plan, all payments would have been figured and made soon after Janu arj 1, whether or not the farmer had sold his cotton. But under the new proposal, the benefit payment estimating will continue for a full year.

Congress Sets All-Time Pace In Spending During Session Washington, Aug. 28.—Skyrocket- i ing appropriations to a new peace time high of more than 10,250 mil lion dollars, with a boost in taxes to war-time levels, the overwhelming ly Democratic Congress during eight tumultuous months has weighted statute books with revolutionary social reforms designed to change the financial economic ar.d gener al business order. On ail domestic issues the Presi dent virtually drove Congress to do his bidding. In the field of foreign relations, however, he suffered two ciear-cut reverses. Bar Court Alliance The first came when the Senate, serving notice it intended to keep the United States from entangling alliances, decisively defeaied the President's proposal to have this nation join the League Court. Again at the close of the session Congress overrode the President’s desires when it passed the neutral ity resolution putting a mandatory ban on the sale of munitions to na tions at war, instead of vesting dis cretion in the executive ‘.o impose economic sanctions (boycotts against agressor nations. Important Measures Most important of the Roosevelt legislative measures, passed sub stantially as he desired, were: The 4,800 million dollar works relief bill. Social security bill. Administration tax bill. The bank bill to broaden Federal Reserve powers. Wagner labor disputes bill. Utility “death sentence” bill. ~ These were flanked by an array of 74th Congress Is Adjourned After Stormy Session NORTH BROOK, NO. 2 SCHOOL NEWS On Wednesday, August 8, the North Brook schools re-opened after a va cation of one week. They had prev iously run for two days, July 29 and 30 when a case of infantile, paralysis within the county made it necessary to close them for a time. At North Brook No. 2 we 'nave an enrollment of 235 and the attendance scents to measure up to the standard of any other summer session. The same teachers are in charge as last year, but we have a new janitor. The grounds look much nicer and make a more pleasant place in which to play since Mr. Heavner had them mowed .ast week. The weather has seemed almost too hot for very strenuous play, especially at the lunch hour, but the teachers usually gather with their groups on the shady sides of the building and play games adapted to a small space. The grammar grade giro, plan to start a baseball team soon. Parents or other persons interested in the school are fnvited to visit it at any time they choose. other bills broadening powers of the Roosevelt Administration, many of which are headed for the United States Supreme Court for a test of tlieit constitutionality. Instead of submitting a general legislative program at the begin ning of the session, as is customary, Roosevelt distributed his recommen dations all through the session. He consulted party leaders and specia lists on each measure. “Must” Bill Jam The result was a Congress which coasted along for several months only to wind up with a jam of Pres idential “must” bills at the end of the session. Supreme Court opinions invalidat ing the NRA and the act of Con gress abrogating the gold clause in Government bonds opened a chasm between the Demouratic Congress and the President. Roosevelt's most decisive defeat was the Senate’s refusal to accept his program to put the United States into the League Court. While the President faced a cru cial test of his leadership on the \V heeler-Raybum utility “death sen tence” bill, finally passed after the executive made concessions he was in a running fire with Congress on benefits for the war vetracs. Upholds Bonus Veto The Senate sustained the Presi dent’s veto of the soldier's bonus after it had been overridden by the House, with approval of Democratic leaders. Promise finally was made ty the Democratic Senate leader ship to call up the bonus next Janu ary. Millions In Funds Cut Off By Long Filibuster; Floor Is Held Washington Aug. 27.—Turbulent and tense to the very last instant of its strife-torn first session, the 74th congress headed homeward today leasing anxious* Roosevelt leaders seeking ways to obtain millions in funds cut off by a five and one-half hour filibuster by Senator Long, democrat of Louisiana. Talking on despite taunts, glibes and earnest pleas, Long held the senate floor until the senate ad journed at the stroke of midnight last night, and thus succeeded in blocking the $102,000,000 third de ficiency bill, carrying funds to start the new deal’s giant social security program, utilities regula tion, the Guffey coal control bill the new neutrality plan and other major measures. Highly Dramatic Scene Declaring he wanted action on 12-cent cotton and 90-cent wheat loan amendments which were aban doned when the AAA announced a . compromise 10 - cent - loan - plus subsidy program for cotton, Long • was the center of a highly dramatic , scene an instant before midnight, as . gay crowds in galleries held their . breaths. Long at that point was droning on in a leisurely manner reading ( from an old number of tne con- : gsessional record. Previously he had , shouted, “I won’t surrender” as ad ministration leaders sought to get him to desist. ] Senator Schwellenbach democrat : of Washington, who argued that ; Long was blocking funds for the aged and crippled, arose to point an accusing finger at the Louisiana (Continued on back page) JAPAN DETAINS AMERICAN SHIP Tokyo, Aug. 24.—Japanese author ities, alert for espionage, detained an American freighter tonight and sought two American youths said by police to have taken photographs of a fortified zone from the ship. After naval planes joined in a wide hunt for a “mysterious foreign vessel,’’ it was detained by gendarmes at Port Tokyuama, in Yamcguchi prefecture, said Rengo news agency dispatches. The ship was the S. S. Golden Mountain, out of San Francisco. Its cfficers and crew were said to be undergoing a rigid examination at the hands of military authorities. Police attempted to trace two young Americans they suspected of having taken photographs of the fortified zone from the freighter end then having left the ship at Tokyama and started for Kobe by tram. Their names, which possibly were cabled in dispatches from Port Tok yema, were given as Phillip Maas, a graduate of Stnford university, and William Felix. 15th Annual Luther League Convention Will Close Tonight "Look West”, says H. h7| \\ ASHINGTON . . . “Look to the West for a Republican presidential candidate in 1936,” was the informal suggestion made by former President Hoover to party leaders while on his trip East, it became known here this week. Here’s How The New Cotton Loan Subsidy Plan Will Work If a farmer has ten bales of cot ton and on the day he offers five bales for sale the average price on the spot markets is ten cents a pound, he would receive the market price plus a subsidy of two cents from the government, making a total of 12 cents a pound. Would Get One (Ait Should the price go up to 11 cents on the day he offered his last five tales for sale, he would receive the market price plus a government sub sidy of one cent, again making a to tal of 12 cents a pound. But supposing the price dropped to eight cents. In that case, the farmer would be expected to apply for a loan of ten cents from the gov ernment and hold his cotton off the market until the price again rose to ton cents or higher. The farmer would not receive a subsidy of four cents to bring his total return from eight to 12 cents, AAA officials stressed that point. The subsidy payment in no case will exceed two cents, representing the difference between 12 cents and the ten-cent loan the government is willing to grant. Should the price rise above 12 cents the figure the government guarantees to fanners then, of course, there would be no subsidy payment. In the event the price slipped be low ten cents, the farmer should keep his cotton ir. a storage warehouse after receiving a loan of ten cents. Thus he could hold his cotton off the market until such a time as the price rose again to ten cents or higher. Assess Charges Incidental charges would be assess ed against the farmer. These in clude storage, and handling costs and would have to be paid at the time the farmer decided to sell his cotton and -repay the government for its loan. Each farmer is assigned a quota —that is, the number of bales he can produce under the Bankhead act. Loans will be made only on i the cotton produced under the quota. Also cotton must grade 7-8 inch low middling or better. At any time after he has stored his cotton and the price rises above ten cents, the farmer may order his cotton sold. If the price on that day were 11 cents he would receive that price, plus a subsidy of one cent, making a total of 12 cents. If the price were 12 cents, he would re ceive no subsidy. Kinship. His wife determined to cure him of liis bad ways, and with the aid of a sheet, and an electric torch trans formed herself into a very fair imi tation of a ghost. Then she went to the drunkard and shook him. “Wlhas that?” murmured the toper. “Satan,” came the reply in sepul chral tone. I “Shake handsh, old horsh, I married your sister.” ! LOCAL MARKET ! 0 0 !
