Thursday, September 10, 1936 A straw vote is accurate when its results are for your side. Seeing America is a good way for Ameri cans to spend their time and money. Seven hundred persons, now living, will be dead in seven days as a result of highway accidents. Teachers in 21 States are required to take loyalty oaths; are we to presume that those in 27 States are disloyal? Wages may be important to the manager of corporations but they are more important to the worker and his family. Hard work is probably a good thing for man kind but there are many people who want very little of the good thing. PROBLEM FOR CIVILIZATION Mrs. Edith How Martyn, British advocate of birth control, has travelled over the world in behalf of the movement in which she is inter ested. Whatever individuals may think of her en thusiasm, it is not open to question that civi lization is something of a farce so long as a million women die in childbirth each year and ten million babies die before they reach their first birthday. Compared to this loss of life, war is an amateur in the art of killing human beings. INAUGURAL IN JANUARY Plans for the inaugural ceremonies are al ready being made at Washington where ex tensive preparations are necessary -to prepare the east front of the capitol building for the occasion. The Norris amendment bo the Constitution changed the date of the inauguration cere monies from March to January 20th. Thus the winner of the election in November will begin his term in just a few days more than two months from the time of the voting. The Congress elected in November will also meet in January, on the 5th, instead of wait ing, as was the case before the Norris amend ment, until the following December, or more than a year after its selection. The amend ment corrected an apparent defeat in our sys tem of government and the amazing thought is that it was not passed sooner SIX BOMBS MISS A SHIP le bombing of the U. S. S. Kane, a destroy i Spanish waters, by an airplane baa caus ome commotion In the press and the eoc ge of & few notes between' this government TWO FACTS MAKE A PROBLEM Two facts stand out in the present stage of American industrial affairs. The first is that a remarkable recovery is holding up and go ing strong; the second is that employment is not keeping up with productive activity. These facts, undisputed as they are, present the American people with a real problem that will last them for some years. Take for example the report of the Federal Reserve Board for July on production and un" employment. Taking 1924 to 1926 as normal, or 100, the figures show that industrial pro duction in July stood at 108 but factory em ployment was 87.7 and factory payrolls only 77.8 percent. The outstanding fact is that fewer men are doing more work for less pay than in the years 1924-26.—Obviously, this means less purchas ing power for laborers and less sales of man ufactured products, which is the cycle that leads to more unemployment. bloody struggle. What intrigues us, however, is the fact that the airplane dropped six bombs at a destroyer that was making no effort at defense and lay unsuspecting beneath it. Probably one bomb, if it had landed, would have seriously crip pled the destroyer but none hit the target, each of them failing some distance away and exploding harmlessly. Maybe the Spanish aviators are poor marks men from the air, or, maybe it’s more trouble to hit a ship with a bomb than many of us have been told. A SENSIBLE DECISION The decision of Governor Martin L. Davey, of Ohio, to deny the request of Oklahoma for the extradition of Carlton B. Chilton, com mends itself to the vast majority of Ameri cans. Ohilton lived in Ohio for twenty-three years as a responsible, law-abiding citzien and no blot mars his record. Although he escaped from prison in Oklahoma and failed to com pletely serve a fcwo-ye§r sentence for robbery, the manner of his living abundantly proved that he is no menace to society and that no thing is to be gained by throwing him into a cell. Mr. Ohilton has undoubtedly repented of his youthful error and the fact that he has lived for twenty-three years as a good citizen proves that he has adequately reformed himself. Washington News For U. S. Farmers FIGHTING FUTURE DROUGHT MUST HAVE COOPERATION JULY FARM INCOME FOOD SUPPLY AMPLE Morris L. Cooke, chairman of the drought committee, says thatt the President has in mind a survey of possible Federal Laws to as sist “agricultural re-adjustment and the con servation of water and soil”. Asked how long it would take to complete the rehabilitation program he remarked that t had taken fifty years for the drought area to “get that way” and it should not be too much to ask as many as twenty-fice years to reclaim it. This statement ought to emphasize the mag nitude of the problem and the necessity, so far as possible, of keeping farm relief and drought rehabilitation out of politics. Of course, this is asking entirely too much in an election year and about the best that we can expect is that after the voting is over the officials, whoever they are, will be given the proper cooperation in carrying out whatever scheme they adopt. Already the Soil Erosion Service and the Resettlement Administration has mapped about 1.000. 000 acres of the terrain, starting from the southern edge of the Plains States. Alto gether the area to be surveyed extends 1,400 miles long by 700 miles wide, embracing about 400.000. 000 acres, or one-fifth of the land sur face of the nation This is not as much as one would expect in view of the fact that more than one-third of the counties of the country are in official drought areas but the difference i3 explained by the fact that the problem is not as acute in some sections as in others. It is impossible in the short space here avail able to even attempt any complete summary of the findings of the committee but it em phasizes the fundamental purpose of any pro gram must be to make the area permanently habitable and that, over a long period of years, the Plains will support more people than if present tendencies are unchecked. Initiative by the Federal government is imperative in securing cooperation of local, State and Na tional agencies, and the Federal government’s stake is apparent when one realizes that since January 1, 1933, it has spent $140,000,000 on works related to conservation of physical as sets and $335,000,000 on oans, grants and re lief disbursements. In a special report based on an analysis of weather conditions, the Bureau of Agricultural Economics' declares that despite the current drought the country’s food supply for the twelve months ending June 1937, will be only 3 per cent below that of 1935-36 and only 1 per cent below that of 1934-35. The drought was unusually severe on feed crops, Spring wheat, potatoes and vegetables for canning. ITlhe short feed supply is expected to result in liquidation of livestock during the first half of the marketing year so that, with the larger Spring pig crop, meat production is expected to be slightly above the level of last year. Dairy products will be smaller than last year b»it above the year before and increased sup plies of poultry and eggs are expected Hie Hg|f * «■* *• •»«* : I I I I IS YOUR FARM IMPROV' ING WITH AGE? i By Gtty A. Cardwell I think it was Shakespeare who had one of hts characters ask “How be the farm gittin’ on?” It might not be a bad idea for farmers generally to stop for a while, at this season, and ask themselves the same question. I am confident that many an answer, if truthful, would be, ‘The farm ain’t git tin’ on.” If I am correct in this, why isn’t the farm getting on? Is your farm improving with age, under a well regulated program of soil improvement, or is it getting poorer and' less productive each year? If the latter, what aTe you going to do about it? Until it is actively recogniz ed that soil mprovement is one of the chief fundamentals in good farming, this country of cotton, tobacco, peanuts and corn (splendid as these crops are) will continue at a disad vantage, in returns, compared with those sections where soil building and crop rotation are regularly practiced. It has been said that soil building is woefully neglected and oftentimes wholly ignored under the methods followed by land-owners in the cotton and tobacco sections. If this is true, and, if we will concede that the general wel fare of the Nation is largely dependent upon the fertility of her farms, and that one of the most important problems con fronting Southern farmers is that of increasing the fertility of the soils, we will h«ve arriv ed at a workable hypothesis. * To increase the fertility of the soil the first and most im portant thing to be done is to provide a sufficient and con stant supply of nitrogen and organic matter. This can be accomplished if agricultural leaders in each community will adopt and push a definite soil building program, and through demonstrations emphasize the j following points: i 1. The fullest possible use of both ®umir|f<r and winter le gume crops for the purpose of increasing the organic matter and nitrogen content of the soil. j 2. Maintenance of a plentiful supply of phosphorus in the soil by additions of phosphatic fertilizers. 3. Applications of lime to those soils that are found to be so acid as to need lime for a satisfactory growth of soil building crops. This program is simple, of little expense, and makes pos sible the maintenance of soil nitrogen which is the most ex pensive fertilizer element. It also makes possible the main tenance of the supply of organ ic material that is impractical to purchase. Commercial fer tilizers must play an important part in such a program, but it is hopeless to depend on them alone. The maximum returns can be had from manufactured fertilizers only on those soils that are adequately supplied with organic matter. Looking at Washington Landon Plans Tours Attacks Tax Program Roosevelt In The West Hearst As A Factor Completing his first cam paign tour of the East, Gover nor Landon is preparing to take the road again this month for a trip tentatively expected to in clude Illinois, Indiana and Mis souri. In addition, his head quarters indicate that a second eastern swing will be made during the latter half of Oc tober, with apeaking engage ments at the principal cities and a wind-up rally in New York City. It is possible that the Republican nominee will al so swing to the Pacific Coast before closing his campaign. In what many commentators consider the most important speech yet made by Governor Landon, the Kansan attacked the fiscal policies of the Roos evelt Administration, charging waste and extravagance and laying down certain fundamen tal principles of government finance. He insisted that the government must guard and preserve its source of income, get a dollar’s worth for every dollar spent, avoid the habit of spending more than it receives and prepare for a rainy day. Particularly assailing the Administration-sponsored tax on undistributed) corporation earnings, Mr. Landon termed it the “most cockeyed piece of I legislation ever imposed in a modern country” and pledged himself to its repeal. The leg J islative tax provides, among other things, for surtaxes on the undistributed1 net income of corporations ranging from sev en to twenty-seven percent, de pending on the amount not pas sed out to stockholders in div idends. While the Republican nomi nee was in the East, President Roosevelt continued his tour of the Great Plains States, “to see with my own eyes”, what the dndught has dontet Although the President insisted that it was not a political journey, the trip undoubtedly possessed' po litical value. The highlight, of course, was the meeting with the group of governors, includ ing Alf M. Landon, of Kansas, to discuss the drought prob lem. IThe meeting, originally scheduled early last week was postponed when the President altered his plans in order to at tend the funeral of Secretary of War George H. Dern, in Salt Lake City.

Landon decrying laws which require teachers to take loyalty oaths made at Chautauqua, N. Y., attracted additional signifi cance when Secretary Ickes, in a radio speech, read court do cuments which, he said, showed that Mr. Eeaiwt was the “bose” of the Republican Party and that Mr. Landon was his candi date. The point waa made that the passage of (laws requiring teachers to take loyalty oaths has been a pet project of the Hearst newspapers and the Landon statement was held up to prove his independence of the Hearst control. — One of the Hearst papers: subsequently referred to the Governor’s statement as "a re grettable departure from the high plane of true American ism.” While Governor Landon made no mention of Mr. Hearst, Secretary Ickes read from the record of a lawsuit now pend1 img in (Chicago, showing that when George F. Harding, Re publican National Chairman from Illinouis, visited Mr. Hearst in California last June, he told the publisher that Gov ernor Landon shouild not make many speeches in the campaign and later repeated the advice in a letter to Mr. Hearst, who pro mised to pass the suggestion on to the Republican nominee. In a memorandum to Harding, Mr. Hearst pointed out that the Democrats “have nothing to criticize Governor Landon ab out” but added that “too many speeches may give the Demo crats their eagerly wanted op portunity”. Readers of this colomn are probably interested in the out comes of the various polls of public sentiment now being conducted. It is our intention, i-: | from week to week, to call at tention to as many as are avail able. Recently the Institute of Public Opinion, attempted to guage the shifting of 1982 vot ers and came to the conclusion that the New Deal baa lost ab out 4,600,000 of its 1982 voters but has gained about 2,000,000 of those who favored the Hoo ver-Curtia ticket four years ago. In other words, 29 per cent of 1982 Roosevelt voters have deserted the thirteen per cent of 1982 Republican voters are now supporting the New Deal. According to the ans wers given on the ballots in the poll "extravagance” is cited as the main reason for the shift of New Deal supporters. The same Institute noted a slight shift of votes to Roose velt in mid August. Previously, the Institute indicated that Governor Landon, on August 9, would have bad an Electral College majority of 21, all though running nearly five per cent behind the President in popular votes. However, the results on August 23rd showed that the President would have a majorty of 19 a® well as a majority of the popular vote. The Institute listed New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, and Michigan as crucial statesy saying that Landon is likely to be defeated if he drops any one of them. Four of them are “for Landon”, according to the poll but Michigan has shifted to the New Deal column. checks MALARIA in 8 days COLDS first day Liquid, Tablsta HEADACHE Salve, Nose Drops 30 minutes Try “Kub-My-Tism”-World’s Best Liniment SiSss? eMCiv m Come in, meet the 'T/te&tJfl'&e£ and tee the PROOF!
