Our Michigan friend relates some] of the experiences of the cherry grow­ ers and packers since the government I has gone into the canning business.] He says previous to 1929 cherry or­ chards were bringing owners from I $400 to $1,000 an. acre. Everything went well until the Farm Board be­ gan to finance canning plants under the co-operative plan under the most] expensive management possible. They used force of all kinds on*orchard | iwners to Join and land owners were enlisted to set out new orchards and low the crop is larger than the mar­ ket can consume. Government money] was loaned to planting and also for purchase or build canning plants.

Naturally long years o f party; success leads to a break in the line, especially when the party is absolutely undey the control o f office holders and outside interests can have no hearing: whether the party is used t& carry out certain principals and traditions or not. In this “ rebuilding program” as suggested by "Th e Week there is opportunity to restore the party where it rightfully be­ longs, but it will never be accomplished until certain .abuses are ’ eliminated. There will be no successful rebuilding until we have new leadership* unselfish in its devotion to the cause the party represents, A s long as party leaders travel the state seeking “ retainers" from certain business interests; federal dictation is to be.countenanced; leaders collecting monthly tribute from state appointees there can be little good accomplished. It is all these things and many more that have entrenched factionalism in the party, and this factionalism will be continued until party leadership is placed in unselfish hanc^s. “ The W eek” has started a worthwhile movement but it has not yet gone fa r enough in suggestions fo r the rebuilding pro­ cess. It assumes no thought o f dictation and announces it has n© definite plan and what it has said will no doubt cause its Re­ publican readers to give more serious thought o f the future.

The politicians and certain real es­ tate interests picked what most people lay is an undesirable site in a section of the city inconvenient for most ni. lasses of people, Washington has oeen hearing from civic leaders and it looks like the “ fixed sife” is not to be the one. This reminds vs of the experience of another small city that had been voted a new postoffice build­ ing. The government paid $4,250 for a tract of land 68x22. The city get­ ting the new building owned a lot a bit larger adjoining and sold it for $75. Athena . . . 0Lwufio Giustt,ISjewels,H 9 , 7S We have always wonderdfi what the thrill would be under one of the social “ eight gallon toppers," that predom­ inate in Washington official circles. We chide about the English knee breeches but it took Walter Brown to giye the “ gallon” hat first place, Wal - 1 ter traded a flock of high priced cars for 'a Lincoln .and $1,700 of Uncle! Sam’s money. The high hat was not ] considered in the deal so the new Lin­ coln was placed at the service of the boys about the department for a “ gad­ about” and a high top Lincoln for a high top hat was purchased, which of course did not reduce the post depart­ ment deficit any. If high tops become the rage now, Henry Ford is to. be out of luck with his yearly crop of “baby” Lincolns. We do not suppose the easy method pursued in the purchase of Lincolns had anything to do with Hen­ ry’s, advice last October as to how we should vote in November. m Betsy R oss,., a stylish G ruen I Baguette, 942.59 Plymouth . . . 0 G mkk Umtkeep, tne Baguette, 17 Forget fora second even jn iw ^ iw n e o— b beautifully finished and accurate Guild movement o f nop less than 15 jewels.

Banks, life insurance companies and railroads have been given a lift by the govern ment at rates of interest they could afford to pay. To secure the government,- bonds o f various kinds were deposited and in some instances first mortgages. A ll such have been worthy but when it came to the government granting aid to savings organizations the terms were almost prohibited. Then came the, so-called Home Loan Bank, which todate is nothing more than a parking " place f o r a lot o f politicians at handsome salaries. This move ment started months ago and so fa r we do not know o f a single loan being made. Moreover from all we can learn o f the new venture the farther savings organizations stay away from It the better off they will be in the end The building.and loans are bow in most instances trying to meet sa'Serious situation, much of, which is no fault o f manage ment but o f economic conditions. When farm prices fe llj labor dropped and salary slicing became necessary, incomes were cut to a point where few er persons were able to pay on, their loans. Building and loans not being banks could only pay on demand so long and the fo llow ing from the Dayton Daily News gives a new ligh t on the situation: “ The time has come fo r the people o f Ohio to lay aside the facts as to building and loans as they have thought th$y were and fa ce the facts as they are. This is not an alarming view to take. The facts as they are may.seem unpleasant. But save as they disappoint present needs, th e y are no more tragical than the general run o f depression facts. They are less so, fo r the most part. *‘A building and loan association, in its p jper organization and operation, is a co-operative association o f people who are pooling their savings fo r the purpose o f building homes. This is a very simple thing. It is not a savings bank, its assets held liquid to enable depositors to draw their money at will. As fast as it accumulates money enough to lend fo r the building o f a home, it does so. The real money thus used is not a liquid asset. It is a mortgage on real estate, the' safest, as a rule, but the least liquid o f all assets. The “ depositors” in such a building and loan are not depositors, but stockholders. And they are no more en titled to their money on demand than they are entitled on de­ mand to the return o f money they have invested in a home “ How the building and loan business o f Ohio has at many points drifted away from this simple and benficient system is now well enough known. Many o f them acquired the great American vice, an ambition fo r size. This rendered many as­ sociations too large fo r effective control by their stockhold­ ers. . . . Gradually these departures from the sound co- ‘ *he ' “ “ I*.0' “ “ ■»* f“ d I f ® I a. thousand, of indopondsn, firm, on- operators, o f leg^Iatures, and ° f a complaisant public together. i„ moktag th „e ™™ „, .n ick , Incidentally to all this, the public was permitted to regard the building and loan association as a bank. Thus, when the de­ pression came, the public had become fixed in the idea that its savings at the building and loan represented cash to which it was entitled, as in a bank, to repayment on demand. This is the tragedy o f the present situation. The people were permitted to believe that they had an available- resource fo r a rainy day which turned out, on the test, not to be a realizable resource at all. To this day the people have trouble to believe the fa c t that what they have in the building and loan association is not mon ey, but an equity in real estate.

Extra VALUES T i r e s f o t i e COURIERTYPE * * 4 8 8 This letter recalls to mind an article n a recent issue of the Saturday Bvening Post dealing with the inves­ tigation of the farm board activities’] iy the Shannon committee. The chair- nan has said the “ bureaucratic para­ sites" are bleeding the taxpayers white.” Some time ago there was a published report that California peaches packed with government mon- ly in 1929 were now being sold in the narket in competition with-the 1932 crop at ruinious prices. The same ^situation i s said to confront the Cal- fornia grape growers. The market is loaded with more grapes than the country can consume and the govern­ ment loaned millions to expand the business and not teii cents on the dol­ lar can be paid back. In addition the independent grape grower has faced bankruptcy as the result of govern­ ment competition. Farm and fruit interests are not the only places were private capital must meet the paxpayers money in compe­ tition. The government is manufac­ turing gun powder, arms, ammunition, steel castings, rope, paints, varnishes, card indexes, hammocks, flags, shoes, brushes, envelopes and printing, all in competion with private industry which is only adding to Unemployment are closed down. The Herald has more than once in the past twenty years brought to the attention of its readers the injustice of the government printing envelopes in competitioU with private printing plants in the country. The tragedy of the situation that they have been and are still being printed at a loss at the expense of the taxpayers that One.
