Editorial Expressions on the Farm Relief Failure

ST. LOUIS POST-DEMOCRAT “The farmer, we are told, was to be saved by the tariff. A duty of 30c a bu. was placed on wheat. The price dropped. The duty was boosted to 42c. The price dropped again. Today, under a 42c tariff, wheat is selling at the lowest price in 16 years, commanding less than 70 cents a bushel at many western points. The tariff incantation didn’t work. , ^ “The Farm Board undertook to rescue the farmer. It announced that the price of wheat was too low. So it purchased wheat in quantity at $1.18 to $1.25 per bushel in an effort to raise the price. It still holds some 50,000,000 bushels of last year’s crop, tieing up over $50,000,000 of public money. When it sells, the taxpayer will have to stand the loss. This magic also failed. “The board now says that agriculture co-operatives will have to depend on private credit to finance the holding of this year’s crop. Its former policy has been abandoned, 'it confesses to the error of its way. Now we learn that the Secretary Hyde and Chairman Lee have been surprisSecretary Hyde and Chairman Lee have been surpisingly frank in telling the farmer what Grundyism is going to do to him. It is a pity they could not have spoken sooner.” NEW YORK HERALD-TRIBUNE “The powers of the board were virtually limitless; and its financial backing was on the same ultra-generous scale. For a year this organization has sought, supported by an almost unbelievable patience on the part of the public as a whole, to apply first aid to the suffering wheat, farmer. First, it lent him money to carry and market his surplus crop; then, this device proving a failure, it openly entered the grain market and bought wheat to support the price of the commodity. This second experiment has been no more successful than the first, and wheat touched the lowest level reached in sixteen years To talk at this date of buying more wheat is to ignore this lessen, learned at the cost of a year of painful experience and many millions of dollars in public money.”—(Rep.) NEW YORK EVENING POST “He (Chairman Legge) is trying to make a bad law work.” PHILDALPHIA EVENING LEDGER “The Farm Board’s scheme of propaganda may prove to be little better than its earliest systems of market control. It certainly offers little encouragement to general business at a moment when general business is badly in need of cheering up.” CHICAGO TRIBUNE “When the government is spending money to make agriculture pay on land now under cultivation and to get American farmers a price for what is now produced it has been also induced to spend money to make the desert arable and add more crops to production now looking for consumers.” BALTIMORE EVENING SUN “The price of wheat is in inverse proportion to the promises of the politicians to bring relief to the farmer.,”

Borah About Face!

Senator Borah, being about to engage in a stump speaking tour through the Northwest ih order to bring home to the farmer how" he has been betrayed by the enactment of the Grundy tariff and buncoed by the farm relief bill, is being arraigned by the administration press agents as a marplot, an agitator and conspirator in the cabal to break down the people’s confidence in President Hoover. A couple of years ago when Senator Borah was engaged in saving the Northwest for Mr. Hoover he was a patriot and statesman of such dimensions as to merit a cabinet position. Indeeed, he was thought of as highly by the administration he aided in putting in as he was by President Coolidge when the latter sought to make him the Republican candidate for vice president in 1924. Borah’s position is anything but enigmatic. He, like other Pregroessive Republicans of eminence, assured, the farmers in the 1928 campaign that Mr. Hoover had a perfect program for lifting the farmers out of the pit of trou- 1 ' ble in which they had been floundering. He had — or thought he had—candidate Hoover’s promises to give them the relief they were denied when President Coolidge vetoed the McNary-Haugen bill and the equalization fee. So Borah went to bat and so braced up the farm states that were tottering in their support of the Hoover candidacy that the whole section voted for him. Borah and Brookhart and others pledged the farmers on behalf of the Republican presidential candidate that Mr. Hoover’s election would ferry them onto safe, high, economic ground and they accepted Borah’s word for it. Accordingly, Borah insisted that the President call a special session of Congress to enact the great relief plan and was shocked to find, when the body came into session, that all the administration had to offer the farmer was a variation of what Coolidge wanted to give them and which their spokesmen had rejected as utterly ineffective and inadequate. So Borah reasoned that the President had defaulted on his promises and put the Senator from Idaho in a position of having deceived his audiences, whereupon Borah went on the war path. Then along came the tariff fight, which the President had invited, and Borah found that the administration Senators were committed to a measure which, while ostensibly for the purpose of further aiding the farmer, actually was intended to life the already towering industrial rates to unparallelled heights, and in which every increase on agricultural products was accompanied by industrial exactions that made the farmer pay $5 more for everything he had to buy tor every dollar of possible benefit that might accrue to him on what he sells. In vain Borah sought to have the tariff limited to changes in agricultural products only, which was the ostensible significance of Hoover’s recommendation to the Congress. The administration was able to defeat his resolution by one vote. And the Grundy bill went forward to enactment and received the President’s signature. Now Borah is starting out to make his apologies for aiding Hoover in the granger States in 1928. Unlike Senator Watson, Congressman Wood, Senator Fess, and a variety of others, he declines to try to qquare the Hoover performance.* with the Hoover promises, . i : The administration made a mountebank out of him and perhaps his indignation at this has something to do with the fervor in which he is starting to assail that administration in the section of the country where it is most vulnerable. His oratory is calculated to aid in November the Progressive Senators who are such a thorn in the side of the Hoover administration. Naturally the Hoover apologists are shocked and appalled at such treason.

on the raid.

Now it is most unusual for a judge to order the return of such gambling paraphernalia before the trial and it may be that he’s made up his mind to turn Pete loose and wants Michaels to have his furnkshings ready to be raided again. Veteran policemen can’t remember a time When a city judge was so brazen as to order the return of paraphernalia seized in a gambling raid even before the trial, but Judge Mann is charting new paths it seems. So Pete’s chairs, tables and electric fans went back home and we take it that the gambling done at Michael’s must be done while standing on your feet, and no cozy, comfortable chairs and cushions can aid or abet this form of law violation. Judge Mann handed back Pete’s chairs, tables and electric fans with his eyes open and now it is a standing joke that to enable Pete to keep his chairs, tables and electric fans any gambling must be done on your feet and not parked. j m But the judge is funny that way.

no alterations! shall be made in the form prescribed. Dated this 8th day of August,

Strong Language vs. Weak Moments Judge Mann in City Court during the week took occasion to reprimand Patrolman Dan Davis and Friar for what he termed rather strong language spoke by the law at times in the vicinity of a South Walnut street cigar store. Well Judge, it would take a great deal of strong language to counteract some of your weak moments. BUDGET SUBMITTED BY (Continued From Page One)

Nervous About Research Just why the high powered comma arranger of The Star should heat up and become nervous over the item in the budget of $1,000 for the mayor for research is one of the week’s believe it or not. There are several citizens of Muncie who can testify as to what the mayor through research without any funds did to them and we believe there are others who like the moulder of public taste sure hope that item don’t get through the council. Research not many months ago by the editor of the Post-Democrat before he became mayor led Cliff Cranor, member of the Hampton board of working the people for all they were worth, to give back $3,600 he had received for a junk truck of his that he had the audacity to sell to the

city.

A. H. Kruse, trustee of the Burt H. Whiteley estate, wouldn’t give two whoops toward a research fund for the mayor since he had to fork over $17,453.80 of park board funds that he had anticipated keeping salted away for a rainy day or something for the estate. Now would Maynal W. Dalby, ex-city clerk, who sold one of his pieces of eleven properties to replace funds he had hid out on the city and were dug up by examiners of the state board of accounts on tip from the mayor, even be accused of chipping in for a mayor’s research fund. Research and a dictaphone revealed the workings of the paving trust of the Hampton administration from Billy Morrison, big shot of the old Hampton board of works looters. Research and persistancy brought to light that the school board made the citizens of Muncie pay out more than $15,000 of interest charges on bonds to replace the $52,000 Haymond shortage and right now it looks like the citizens will have to also pay the $52,000 as well as the fifteen grand of interest. From research came the fact that the Hampton council in its final twelve months spent its budget of $450,978.05 and nearly fifty percent more of public money, wiping out the working balance and squandering the $39,233 balance on hand on Jan. 1, last year. Even before he warmed the mayor’s seat the editor of The Post-Democrat by research brought to light the Hampton park board’s $14,250 purchase of the unofficially appraised $10,000 lots and shacks owned by Mrs. Laura Heath and listed on the tax duplicates for the huge sum of $2,350. More research found the altered claim in the office of John Lupton, the ex-city controller. So it is evident that RESEARCH by the mayor means bad luck to quite a lot of individuals and if he had the one thousand bucks fund for that purpose the results might be even worse. We expect the council will clip this item from the budget and when it is out in all probability several persons will rest easier and breathe easier than if it were placed at the disposal of the mayor. Several w£ guess had occasion to be nervous over the $1,000 research fund for the mayor. Gambling Stand Up, Eh! Down at Pete Michaels near the railroads on South Walnut street if they gamble it must be standing up, so Judge Mann in City Court ruled just a few days ago. This unique ruling came as a surprise, because even before trial on the Michaels case after his arrest on keeping a gaming house. Judge Mann issued an order to the police to return the chairs, tables and electric fans hauled in

Monday night President Parkinson of the council urged that provision be made for this sixty grand of questionable loot and even raise the tax rate ten Cents to sugar the pockets of Birch and Curtis & Gubbins. Couucilmen Blease and Hayler, Republicans and Grady, a brother-in-law of Gubbins, joined President Parkinson in the plea to enrich the paving trust by redeeming the questionable certificates.

Their pleas, however, failed to impress the other coun-

cilmen who saw no reason for adding ten cents to the pres ent tax rate to please the paving trust which obtained the certificates after the regular appropriation of $30,000 for street and alley intersections had been exhausted in the Hampton's board of working the public’s more than a mil-

lion dollar street paving program of last year. The council finance committee, likewise, in considering

the submitted budget declined to recommend a ten cent raise to take care of the $60,000 of certificates and pointedly suggested that Birch and Curtis & Gubbins go into court and establish the validity of the Hampton board of works finance paper before receiving payment through a tax levy

that would increase the present rate of least 10 cents. Hearing on the submitted budget and the proposed tax

rate of 89 cents for the City of Muncie, the same as this year, will be conducted in the council chamber the evening of August 18. . N , v "j.,,, . ' _ ' ■ ' j. , ' ‘M ■ Iff ‘i •

Chairman Shouse attributes ratification of the treaty principally to Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the minority leader, ‘‘Whose defense of the London covenant, in the negotiation of Which he participated, was not only the best argument in favor of the treaty, but ohe that produced the most definite effect. Chaitlnan Shouse at the same time warned that “we will doubt less have more statements (like that of Congressman Temple’s) claiming the ratification of the treaty as a great achievement of the Republican Party.”

Senator Moses’ Senatorial Campaign Committee Slogan: Divided we stand for Hoover arid Harmony.

When the Farm Board was organ ized, it was widely heralded as the Hoover Farm Board to carry out Mr. Hoover’s idea of farm relief, but now that the Farm Board is “down to its last chip,” even the White House, according to J. Fred Essary’s dispatch in the Baltimore ’Sun, regards the Farm Board as merely “the agent of Congress.” And Congress has adjourned and cannot “pass the buck” back.

One reason for the President’s

decision not to make any speeches on his western trip, according to the New York World, is based in part on the fact that Republican Senators from that region have refrained pointedly from asking him

to make political speeches.

The special and regular session of the 71st Congress, which has just adjourned, enacted 927 laws, and Senator Fees is preparing to claim every single one of them as an outstanding achievement and national triumph for the Hoover ad-

ministration.
