I read the Washington dispatches, and for all I know Farmer John Brown is as smart as anybody in Congress.
Congress Wages
WASHINGTON, July 28—Thunderous was the silence when Reid F. Murray, the Wisconsin farmer, professor, and Congressman, suggested that if his colleagues wanted to do something about inflation, they might start at home—by slashing their own wages. Oops! The startled gentlemen, who earn $12,500 a year each, plus $2500 in nontaxable expense accounts, plus.a few other emoluments, sat on their hands and stared straight through him. Whatever else they do about the high cost of living, I don’t think they're going to pare their own salaries. " That's the trouble, said the portly Congressman from Ogdensburg. Everybody wants the other fellow to lower his prices. But nobody wants to cut his own. Not even the makers of the laws. Gives Rep. Murray a pain. ‘ Congress had just opened for the Turnip Day session, The Speaker had appointed a special committee (the telephone not yet having been invented) to notify President Truman that the lawgivers were ready for business. And then began the yakety-yak.
Who Is Responsible?
THE DEMOCRATS said it was plain to see the Republican Congress was responsible for $1.10 beefstedks. The Republicans said it was obvious that the Democratic administration was the villain, They got bitter about it; they snarled. Rep, George H. Bender of - Ohio said the Democrats had too many pigeons flying around their convention in Philadelphia. Said they wete too busy ducking these fowl to think straight. Said he expected more of the same here in Washington. Rep. Helen Gahagan Douglas of California

Wild Ducks Taking Over
WHY, cuss my bones, the world is full of phenomena. A man got fouled up with a whale and rode him hard, a space back. Some other people saw a sea-serpent and it only made a little piece, about 80 high in the newspapers. A man won $7500 on a radio quiz show, and they practically had to sye him to get him to accept it. Stolid' husbands have with baby-sitters. A flock of wild ducks have taken over the streets of Pompton Lakes, N. J., and are shouldering the citizens off the sidewalks.

As this is written, the Philadelphia Athletics are in first place in the AL. And if that can happen, anything can happen.

One of the things that makes living costs high, said he, are wages. Take a little thing like blackberries. All over Wisconsin sweet blackberries grow wild. Free for the picking. Yet blackberries in Ogdensburg cost 50 cents a quart. Who gets the money? The blackberry pickers.

are you going to cut?” Nobody answered him. Most of the lawgivers seemed to be examining the temporary girders under the ceiling. So Rep. Murray answered himself. “Why don’t we lower our own salaries?” he derffanded. “The cost of government's too high, like everything else. .So why not go to work on our own paychecks? That would be a pretty good place to start.” And also, he continued, if his own wages were sliced he'd fee! better about talking to one of his own constituents, who was having trouble making ends meet on, say, $7000 a year. This idea seemed to strike“his. cohorts as something less than brilliant. I wouldn't know, myself. But as Rep. Murray said, one of the costliest commodities in America today is its laws. The priee of butter (which Rep. Murray thinks is about right under the circumstances) cannot compare in inflation with the price of legislation. Anyhow, it was pleasant to listen to him; the only American I ever knew who thought he was being overpaid. :
Don’t Want Equality’ sy George Weller
PAGO PAGO, American Samoa, July 28 — Equality?—Samoans don’t want any right now, thank you, They don’t want to be “liberated” from the control of the United States Navy, says 43-year-old Prime Minister Tuiasosopo. Between being Protected by Americans in, or out, of uniform, they prefer to string @)anz with those in uniform. As for the well-meaning Congressmen, who want to turn Samoa over to the Department of the Interior, they'd better tun their liberal talents tisewhere, says Minister Tuiasosopo. What seems a trivial transfer of authority to Americans ig vitally alive and critical to Samoans. The reason is that the Samoans suspect the Departmeat of the Interior of a mischievous, Subversive design to sow equality among them. ; Equality, the cornerstone of Americanism, is be thing that the Samoans do not want. The hereditary chiefs want equality least of all, Equality” says Minister Tuiasosopo, “means t we will go down just like the Hawaiians.
