Constitution. “In general, we find that opposition to such an améndment would
be centered in present office-holders |!
who would be afraid of losing their jobs when the amendment wgs set ~ in operation. “We find, in general, that the best laws provide for all present office- - holders to retain their positions so long as they -have been there long enough that it can be assumed they can competently discharge the duties of the office.”

AID TOWALLAC
TELLS OF FARM. 08S PROBLEM
Rural Youth. Session Here Hears ‘of Handicaps In New Era.
‘The century-old advice to the farm boy ‘to “get ia farm of your own, young man,” . won't work any-
day. He : addressed the afternoon session’ of the Indiana Farm Bureau convention in Tomlinson Hall. The Rural Youth branch. of the organization had. charge. of the session. “Each year about 400,000 farm boys and en equal number of farm 'girls finish school and are ready to start work, but only approximately 200,000 farms are vacated each year by death, retirement or shift to new
occupation,” Mr. Ezekiel said.
Offers no Solution
“This makes available farms for only about half of the farm youngsters growing up each year. The others have little. opportunity ‘left on farms. Unless they get started
t las farm tenants before they reach
30, there is little chance of their ever graduating out of the farm labor class.” Mr. Ezekiel said he merely was reporting-=on the current situation and was offering no solution. He pointed ‘out that in many instances farm boys and girls may remain at home and be assured of food and clothing, but that does not give them an opportunity to marry’ and support a family. “The open, frontier is’ gone, and cities which offered work to the farm youth during the past decade now have Millions of unemployed. Tractors, corn-harvesters and’ other improved equipment ‘are making farm labor needs less and less. What is farm youth to do?” he asked.
Cites Unfilled Needs
Pending the finding of a fundamental solution to this problem, Congress -has established a number of agencies, including the CCC and NYA, which are doing what they can to make life more worth-while and productive both for farm youth and city youth, he said. The Farm Security Administration, especially through its Rural Rehabilitation loans, is ‘helping some young farmers get started toward independence. “There is no technological reason why we cannot keep all our people busy at real jobs,” Mr. Ezekiel said. “We still have tremendous unfilled needs for the .industrial products, which our idle labor, city and country, could produce.”
Warns of ‘Panaceas’
He said that although the war temporarily may solve the problem of industrial employment, sooner or later the U. S. must face the same problem it has failed to solve
our people to work? “The responsibility for dealing with the industrial problem lies outside the Department of Agriculture,” he said. “Many of our leaders in Congress, in business, in agricul-! ture, in labor and in the executive branches of government are thinking about what may be done. “As an- economist let me caution you on this. The patient is a very sick man, with many complicated ills due to many years of riotous, careless living. Any one who claims to cure him with a single miraculous panacea can safely -be put down as a quack.” He said that many students believe that large-scale or corporate controls in most of heavy industry have led to a limitation or suppression of competition, holding down production and, employment - and thus creating fewer jobs for farm youth and: less buying power for farm products. The Department -of Justice now
