SHOULD BE COMMENDED
The efficient way in which the forest fire sit
uation has been handled in this county during
the recent drought speaks well for the fire
wardens whose duty it is to reduce the enor
mous loss incurred annually by promiscous
burning of our wooded lands. Before this
County began cooperating with the State and
Federal governments in the fire control pro
gram it was not an unusual sight to see a
number of forest fires burning at one time with
nc effort being made to curb them. Especial
ly was this true during the Spring months.
This year, however, thanks to the Wardens,
the number of fires has been materially re
dacted and large areas which normally would
have been scorched and charred by the red de
mon are now fresh in Nature’s green.
A BROADCASTING SUGGESTION
The suggestion, frequently made, that the
government establish a chain of radio broad
casting stations, to be operated in the interests
of the people instead of the advertiser, is not
had. In fact, we see many advantages to the
government and to the people.
So far as we know, no state has a broadcast
ing system, although one could be easily es
tablished and maintained by a small tax plac
ed upon receiving sets. This tax, it seems to
us, would be eminently fair if used for the
benefit of the listeners, who pay for it, and
•who would receive a direct and exclusive re- !
turn from it.

CHILDREN AND GROWTH
I
Health is an important asset in life, seldom ]
appreciated by those of us who enjoy it
Hundreds of children in this county are i
growing up with the slightest instruction in
matters relating to taeir growth and proper (
development. Hundreds of adults, tericus (
minded in many things, look on without appar- j
ently realizing the importance of getting these
youngsters off right.
Athletics have had a marked influence on
the physical development of American young
| people and the recent inauguration of compe
t titive sports for our girls has been a wonderful
step in the right direction.
_
THE BONUS DISTRIBUTED
With more than twenty-eight million $50
bcnds distributed to more tthan two and a half
million veterans of the World War, and some
thing like ten million additional bonds to be
distributed to a half million- veterans who have
not sent in their adjusted service certificates,
the bonus question may be considered settled
so far as the national government is concern
ed.
To the veteran who received part of the vast
sum of $2,237,000,000 last week the question
has arisen as to how to use the bonds and mon
ey received. That most of the bonds will be
cashed is generally assumed and thus the ques
tion relates to the spending of cash money.
Each individual in this county who has re
ived his bonns is entitled to use it as he
is best without unsolicited advice from
fessional counsellors of the general public.
Each veteran understands his own circum
stances and knows what he wants to do with
his cash and our advice to all veterans is to
save or spend it as he sees fit.
That the vast- sum thus scattered througn the
nation will have important bearing upon busi
ness is certain but that it means a new epoch
in "commercial affairs in nonsense. We advise
all tradesmen t-o go after the bonus dollars and
the best way to go after them is to demonstrate
to the possessors that what you have to sell is
not only worth while but a reasonable and wise
expenditure. *
ONE MILLION A YEAR
The population of Japan increased last year
by 1,028,623 in a land that, even now, has about
70,000,000 people living on a few small islands,
which have much mountainous country
With talk of the papulation of the United
Slates becoming static and European coun
tries worrying about the birth rate the advent
of one million more Japanese a year might
mean something, say about 1960!

REPUBLICAN FARM PLANK
LONGEST IN PLATFORM
POSITION SUMMARIZED
WHEAT PRODUCTION
FIGHTING EROSION
The longest and most carefully worded plank.
in the platform adopted by the Republican par
ty at its Cleveland convention is on Agricul-j
ture. Undoubtedly the leaders recognized the
necessity of presenting to the American farm
ers a program that would forecast improved
conditions for agriculture and offset, as far
as possible, the gains made by the administra-1
tion in agricultural sections.
We are not concerned with political charges
but present something of a summary of the po
sitions taken by the Republicans in the pre-1
amble and thirteen statements included in
their platform. Generally speaking, says the
preamble, the New Deal has taken the Repub
lican principles of soil conservation and land
retirement, opening the way for a non-political
and permanent solution, although this cannot!
be expected from the Democrats. There is add
ed a sentence approving benefit payments
“within the means of the Federal Government.”
1. Control of farm production, included in
the Republican platform of 1932, is omitted
this year in favor of “abundance instead of
scarcity.”
2. Approves “acquisition of abandoned and
non-productive” land for public use, such as j
‘watershed protection and flood prevention, re
forestation, recreation and conservation of i
wild life.”
3. Approves “reasonable benefits to cooper
ating farmers on family-type farms who plan j
:oward a balance between soilbuilding and soil-1
lepleting crops.” j
4. Advocates experimental aid to farmers in
developing new crops. j
5. Would promote industrial use of farm pro
ducts.
6. 'Against importation of all livestock, dairy j
md agricultural products, or, substitutes and
derivatives, that depress farm prices.
7. For effective quarantine against import-1
ed livestock, dairy and farm products from'
countries without proper health and sanitary j
regulations. I
8. For “ample farm credit at rates as low '
as those enjoyed by other industries, including
commodity and livestock loans,” with prefer
ence in land loans to the “farm as a home”.
9. For decentralized, non-partisan control of
the Farm Credit Administration and National
Farm Loan associations.
10. For reasonable benefits upon the domes
tically consumed portion of crops with export
able surpluses, with payments limited to “the
family-type farm”.
11. Would encourage cooperative marketing.
12. Would assist in disposing of surpluses in
foreign trade through bargains “selectively by
countries both as to exports and imports” and
opposes “reciprocal treaties which trade off
the American farmer”.
13. For “reasonable assistance” to producers
in areas suffering from temporary disasters.
While it would be possible, from the posi
tion already taken by administration leaders,
to make something of a comparison between
the attitudes of the two parties we will not at
tempt such a parallel until the Democrats have
written their plank on agriculture this week
in Philadelphia.
The 1936 winter wheat crop is estimated at
482,000,000 bushels in June, an increase over
the May figures, and with other gains in pros
pect. A spring yield of around 150,000,000 bu
shels is probable even n the face of none too
good weather lately.
