We can’t expect to g»* an airport unless we help to raise the funds needed. Letting the other fellow do it so we can have the ben, fits will not make possible the raising of the large amount needed. Every iterson who feels Its a needed Improvement should get back of the campaign now iu progress. -0 If Germany has lost nearly a million men since D-Day. as is reported. we marvel at their ability to continue the figh*. They seem to think they have their backs to the wall and must win or lose every thing What their status as a nation will be is hard *o predict but its dlfficuß to understand and how they figure they are helping it any by going <m to utter destruction -0 Apparently thb 0.0. P. dldn'' like Mr Roosevelt's speech They say he didn't play lair in his references to Hitler and so they prefer to discuss that rather than what they propose to do If given the authority. .Making a campaign on the grounds that thia country was not prepared for war and that we have had hard times ever since 1933. hasn't hit any popular response It seems, so now they propose to make it a personal fight. -0 Five hundred and fifty-five mil lion piople could live iu the V. 8. A. under a system of intensive agriculture, according to Prof William J. Berry of Western Michigan college. He cites foreign soils, climates, population densities as proof. Italy’s Po valley has 145 pi i- square mile, U. 8. A.'s corn bell has only 50. Tile same argument builds a whopping good case I for Industrial decentralisation in the I' S A Pathfinder Magazine. -0 The war manpower commission has acted wisely in smoothing thej path of job» for returning war veterans. Paul V. McNutt, commissioner lias ruled that these men may tak<- jobs without avail ability certificates or any referals from the employment service. About a million men have already been discharged for one reason or another, age or physical condition and it Is right that they be given an opportunity to find and accept positions as he can fill. —o War Is uncertain, a fornight ago it looked as though the grea* conflict in Europe was nearing the end and many predicted the war with Japan would last only a short time following that Then came some sialemabs and immediately 'he guesses changed to the pessimistic view that the war In Europe may continue six months and In the Pacific and Japan perhaps a year and a half or more. The truth Is. !no one knows. When the wind-up com, s it will probably lie rapid and it may come any time alter the Allied forces nma->h through the Siegfried lines. If President Roosevelt could do what he really wants to do he would retire to his Hyde Park estate and take life easy, let the world roll on and let those who aspire to do so conclude the war and the peace. He is uol a candidate because he wants to be. nor was he such an office seeker four years ago. He broke the 01-i twoterm limit tradition because of the situation this country was in and because of his knowledge and ability The same thing la true again. He Is not a dictator, be believes In the right of suf rage, he wants this to continue the greatest nation in the world His party renominated him without opposition worth mentioning aud the people will elect him because they believe be Is best qualified to lead us to a victory in the war, to write a proper peace tract aud to provide for the economic future of the people of Atearks ' "s 41 U ~"" T" * tfAd* la a Good Town — Decxtui

IDEAS of the Preacher Farmer of Prairie Home by L. Dewey Burham

There are two ways for one to judge which is the best party to administer t It e government. PreviousI ly we discuss, d the party platforms. But platforms are I not to run on.

just to start from. The surer method of judging the efficiency of u party to administer the governmental affairs is by tbe past record of the party L*-t us take taxes, in 1931 my farm taxes were 1537.38. In 1932 the payment was approximately the same, if 1 had sold not only my share of the corn crop, but my renter's share at that time at the prices which some of it brought. 10c per bushel. I could not have paid the taxes, ami that was a good corn year. The Republican party had been in power then for 11 years. The depression was already three years old. The administration was looking for prosperity around every corner, but the right corner didn't come along. On January 10. 1933. before Mr. Roosevelt took office. I sold several hundred bushel of corn at 15c a bushel, and I still have the elevators weight slip sliowiug it. The philosophy of the Republican party has always been that if big business and great industries prospered everyliody prospered,

and that is still their belief. A I few years ago we had emblazoned ‘ on many billboards. "What helps business helps you." but we farmers know In-tter. Mr. Hoover's one good step in depression times, tiie Reconstruction Finance Corporation. loaned Charles Dawes' bank some f so.ooo.ihhi which saved it. but thousands of little banks were going under taking what savings the farmers had with them, and thousands of other farmers ven- losing th"ir farms right and left, into the hands of big. business and loan companies Then Mr Roosevelt took office' in March of 1933. Immediately the bank holiday was proclaimed i for a couple of weeks until all the ; little banks still surviving could I get in shape to get governmental help to continue operating. Aud since then no one has lost money deposited in any bank in the country unless it wap a deposit over •G.ttoO.OO. We still have that guarantee law. Ami what happened Io taxes? My taxes in 1934 were only |2*S IS. ami sine, the Gross Income tax law went into effect, they have lieen down below >2OO for the faun. Now which party has helped me the most und has given us a bearable tax program? JKhafk'Sßß !h‘- He |midu ,:ii' ity say to me now that would make me want to go back to them? I have listened to their speeches, ami I have read their editorials and their commentators, and 1 still find no suggestion of what they will do. My only conclusion is that they will continue to lielieve that what helps the very rich will help me too, liut I doubt it. But th,- Democratic party has not stopped with tax reduction, and aid to the small banks. It lias made farm credit available to every worthy farmer In many

' ways, through the Federal Imnd Hanks, the Production Credit Associations. the Farm Security Administration. at low interest rates. It lias given us the AAA program, worked out witli the farmers organizations. mid administered by locally chosen men. It lias assisted farm cooperatives to get started. organizations whereby farmers do business witli themselves InI stead of absentee stockholders. Through the AAA it has given us the soil conservation procram which lias made it possible for farmers to regulate production ac- ‘ cording to need, both up an<| down the wale It has through this same program given us a more I orderly marketing plan by which farmers can receive payments for storage of their produce on their own farms instead of glutting the markets at certain seasons of the year. The Democratic party has given us the Rural Electrification Administration through which farmers own and control the distribution of electricity to the rural sections. Tills alone lx one of the greatest advantages that has come to the farmer in generations. Vpon this subject Mr. Dewey has been doing some "double talking." As I under-ran'l reports ■ corps of newspaper men and com- • inentators accompanying him <>n I this western tour, he thinks that . of course we should have rural i electrification, but that private InI terests Instead of cooperatives ; shtmld have their fingers on it. i Well, all these things are mak- - Inga great many usually Rvpubi ilcan farmers wonder about their welfare under the Republican i claims of victory. Even the . Prairie Farmer has given its full I editorial page to a discussion of , these things, thus voicing Its cons cent for the farmer's Interests.
