MAJOR PARTIES CONSIDER WAYS TO AID FARMER Both Will Promise Liberal Benefits to Replace Invalidated AAA. (Continued From Page One) the percentage of each basic crop which would be consumed by the domestic market. How It Would Work Thereafter the Secretary would compile a list of manufactured and unmanufactured imported articles purchased in the normal course of their business by the producers of the basic crops. The tariff' commission would compute the average rate of taxation levied against these imports. Here is the nub of the bill, explaining how the farmer gets his benefit in a tariff equivalent certificate: “Each producer of a basic agricultural commodity shall be entitled to have issued to him tariff-equiv-alent cretificates covering the do-mestic-consumption percentage of amounts of the commodity which he markets during any marketing year for the commodity. The face value of any certificate shall be an amount equal to the sale price of the amount of the commodity in respect of which the certificate is issued, multiplied by the tariff equivalent.” For example: Assume that the Tariff Commission determined the average of customs duties levied on manufactured and unmanufactured articles purchased by wheat producers to be 30 per cent. Then assume that a, Kansas wheat rancher has produced 100.000 bushels and that the prevailing price is $1 a bushel. Assume, further, that 70 per cent of the American wheat production is to be consumed in the domestic market, or that 70.000 bushels of this particular farmer's wheat shall be consumed in the Uniied States. Multiply the price he received for his 70,000 bushels by the average of customs duties computed by the Tariff Commission, in this instances .30 timse $70,000. The resulting $21,000 represents the face value of the tariff-equivalent certificate to be issued to the farmer. It would be redeemable at the Treasury or any Federal fiscal office. The sum would represent a payment to the farmer in compensation for his inability to obtain in the world market the $1 per bushel domestic price for the 30.000 acres of wheat which could not be absorbed by the American people.

Timex Special TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Feb. 3. When bigger mining shovels are built, people in this locality will have a hard time believing it. Meanwhile they probably will continue to brave frigid temperatures for a gaze at this massive creation, largest of its kind ever assembled. The monster shown above weighs 13.000 tons, stands 14 stories high, and without straining a beam comes up with 37 cubic yards of dirt every time it bites into the earth. It is functioning daily at the Bob-O-Link strip mine, near here, and will be engaged there for the next 10 years. When caught in this “practice pose.” the burly brute was merely limbering up on a truck loaded with 50,000 pounds of soft coal. The truck, to make things even, is also the largest in existence.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Cards are distributed to Greenback workers, according to John Zahnd, Indianapolis, national chairman. The workers go among their friends and “sell” the Greenback doctrines and have the latter sign pledges to support the Greenback party in the 1936 elec'fion. The cards, mailed to Mr. Zahnd at national headquarters, 2315 E. Troy-av, are supposed to be accompanied by a dime “to cover clerical cost at the national office.” The converts then are issued cards to go among their friends and sign new pledges. It is estimated the procedure has raised approximately $25,000 thus far. Forest L. Hackley. the Greenback candidate for Lieutenant Governor, said many of the cards are not accompanied by money because they come from sympathizers who do not have the money.

AID TO BE SENT ICE-BOUND ISLE 1400 Marooned Fisher-Folk Have Supplies Now for Four Days. By United Press WASHINGTON. Feb. 3. —Another trip to take food and medicine to fisher-folk on the ice-locked Tangier Island in Chesapeake Bay was planned today by Red Cross officials. Supplies delivered yesterday by the dirigible Enterprise can last only two or three days. If the bay remains clogged through that time the 1400 persons on the island must meet a new emergency. The blimp was loaded with 1500 pounds of provisions after other means of reaching the marooned settlement proved futile. A landing on the ice was made 100 yards off the shore. Packages of flour, beans, coffee and canned goods were passed out to 200 persons who gathered about the blimp. Commander Karl Lange, who piloted the ship, said the residents told him that their own food supplies could not have lasted more than one day. A strong wind made the 150-mile round trip hazardous. The island has no landing field, and the ice is too thin to permt heavy planes to land. A light plane landed yesterday with medical supplies. Another rescue attempt succeeded when Robert Guy, George Evans and Oscar Bailey dragged a skiff with provisions 10 miles across the ice. Coast Guard cutters, aided by icebreakers, battered their way through the eight-inch layer of ice, but had not been able to reach the island. Rescue Flight Mapped By United Press BOSTON, Feb. 3. —Preparations were made today to fly food and fuel to 3600 ice-bound residents of Nantucket Island, marooned since Friday, a six-mile ring of ice surrounds the island.

MANION SCORES CRITICS OF U. S. RECOVERY PLAN Federal Agencies Protect People’s Rights, NEC Director Says. Critics of the Federal recovery program, who say the government is invading private enterprise, were challenged today by Clarence Manion, Indiana director of the National Emergency Council, at a meeting of the Service Club ir the Lincoln. Mr. Manion declared that none of the Federal agencies now functioning in Indiana can “by any

stretch of the i m agin ation” work as a destruction or impairment of the United States Constitution. “Each of these agencies operates for the sole purpose of protecting some right or series of rights possessed inherently by individuals living

I ' :

Mr. Manion

in Indiana. ’’ he said. Mr. Manion stressed the value of the demonstration projects now being carried out in Indiana by the government, particularly slum clearance, subsistence homesteads, soil conservation, and indirectly touched on the situation in Brown County, which 4vas the subject of recent magazine articles. “You have heard it said that the Federal government is invading the domain of private enterprise. I should like to pause for a moment and ask anybody present co call my attention to a single acivity of the Federal government in Indiana that does invade the field of private industry,” he continued. “Protect Private Rights” “Any one can take the complete directory of these agencies and going from the top to the bottom of the list demonstrate in extremely short order, even to the most unfriendly critic, that each of these agencies is a protection for private rights and private industry, which certainly relieves the suspicion of any attempt to destroy private rights and private industry. “Let me go further and say this, that each of these agencies is doing something that 99 out of 100 people will admit should be done, and yet not one out of 100 people can call attention to a single private industry that is doing or is willing to do this necessary thing. “The Home Owners’ Loan Corp., for instance, refinanced distressed mortgages that no private refinancing agency would touch. The Farm Credit Administration deals in credit for farms and farmers that everybody admits is necessary and desirable for the proper pursuit of agriculture, but which no purely private industry is willing to advance or engage in. Private Loans Insured “The Federal Housing Administration is doing its best to induce private credit and private finance to go into the field of modernization and home finance, and. it even promises to insure the private loans that are thus made, by the general credit of the United States. “No private industry is willing or anxious to feed and work the armies of its unemployed, but everybody admits that the unemployed must eat and should work. The very instant that private industry bids for the services of men and women now working for the Works Progress Administration that same instant the WPA will release that worker to private industry where the Federal government certainly hopes that he will speedily go and permanently remain.” Mr. Manion said that the solution of the nation’s industrial problem including agriculture, lies in the field of new activities, new products and new demands by the population. Cites Slum Clearance Discussing the “demonstration agencies” of the government, Mr. Manion cited the slum clearance project in Indianapolis as an example in point. He said: “The government is spending several million dollars in Indanapolis now for the purpose of demonstrating that a slum area that contributes 10 times the average juvenile delinquency, and criminality per unit of population can be removed, first of all, and secondly have substituted for it low cost sanitary and healthy apartment buildings that can be profitably rented at a low figure. “There is not enough money in the Federal Treasury to clear all the slums of a single state in the Union, but, if a reasonable number of demonstrations such as the one now in progress in Indianapolis can be completed successfully, there is no reason why presently idle capital can not go into this field in the future and thus open up new avenues for private investment and private employment with untold advantages to ihe health, the morale and the order of the-commu-nit:\”

FIRST CITY GAS REPORT READY FOR DIRECTORS Kemp May Submit Review of First Quarter to Board Tomorrow. The quarterly report of the Citizens Gas and Coke Utility, which should show, in a measure, the efficiency of city operation, probably is to be submitted to directors at a meeting tomorrow afternoon, Thomas L. Kemp, manager, announced today. "No sizable reduction m operating costs are expected in this first report." he said, “but our economies in personnel and material eventually will have an effect.” Since the city took over the gas plant in September more than 70 employes have been discharged. This was done, it was explained, because the organization was overmanned. Indianapolis Gas Cos. directors are expected to offer the city utility new rental terms on mains. A conference between the two boards is expected this week. The city directors are known to favor outright purchase of all Indianapolis Gas properties if this can be done at a reasonable figure. Terms of the lease negotiated by the old Citizens Gas Cos. and the Indianapolis Gas Cos. in 1913 were held excessive by the city district when it took over the first-named company. A six-months negotiation period was agreed on. This ends March 9. HIGHER COURT APPEAL PLANNED BY BARBASOL' Denial of New Trial Forces Step in 530.000 Damage Action. By United Presx NOBLESVILLE.
