Gilead publisher whom we have been associated with in a professional and political way for acme years. The same news source informs us of the death o f Harry Edgar Rice, 71» whom we first knew when he was associated with the late Thomas Wallace in the ownership of the Spring- field Democrat, which was sold to James M, Cox about thirty years ago, Mr, Rice published the Xenia Herald until 1936 when he retired due to ill health. His death took ’place on a Southern. Pacific train at San Bernardino, Calif.,' being enroute to his home at Springfield, O. He served as Xenia postmaster under Woodrow Wilson, i Both o f these publishers were men of ability and character and it can be said that we were proud o f their friendship both fraternally and politically. o f his own thinking rather than a brain truster in Washington, that could not males his own living farming. - HHW fM ttfff............iHitMummiUHtWHWMIWIUMUHrMWj Cohinfcta, Tenn., is one o f the mule capitals o f the world and April le t was the "Mule Pay" celebration when all the prise winners in the mule class and the "Jacks” as well were on display. Few there are. over the coun­ try that know Postmaster General James Farley is thp owner o f a farm and also a mule, both being in Mary­ land. Jim was in Columbia to ex­ hibit his "Queenie” on Ail Fools Day and incidentally made a speech. He did not, at that time, elaborate on his candidacy’ for the Democratic nomination, discuss the New Deal,- or get down to the thought o f the day pr go into the geneology o f the mule, how the Democrats came to pick the party emblem and just where Ba­ laam’s buggy horse figures in the history. FREE TRADE GETS THE **GO SIGN” By a margin o f three votes the New Deal “ Free Trade or “ Reciprocal Trade” won in the Senate and it will pass the House under threats o f “ vote yes” or no more free govern­ ment money in your district. Hitler will never be dead as long as Roosevelt is a resident o f the White House, The legislator that does not vote his way is subject to the smear stick among the folks back home as against progressive legislation ; against relief for this and that as well as a lot o f other things if he does not take orders. We suppose the Farm Bureau flag has already been hoisted at headquarters in Washington, this organisation being the only farm or stock organization that has endorsed free trade which is against the interest o f all branches of agriculture. The Hull free trade agreements already in force have injured the farm market fo r grains and live stock and now southern dairy, poultry and garden interests have registered protests but the “ no more'free, money” is the only thing that keeps the spine­ less congressman in line for the administration policy, no matter what the issue is. In discussion of the farm situation with an average Georgia farmer some days ago he admitted there was some things that probably were not right but ,in the main he says “ as long as we have Hull, southern Democrat, bn the job, the south is safe” . Questioning a bit farther we asked about the country as a whole and the answer was this; “ You know you folks up north profited for years by high tariff at our expense, In those days we had to buy your grain and manufactured goods and meats, things we did not produce. The price was high because foreign goods were shut out which if allowed to come in woulc have held the price down, Now the shoe is on the other foot and northern farmers should not complain about five cent hogs* Free trade is a sectional issue but the,northern farmer does not have the southern market as he once had, neither does the northern manufacturer. Farming is more diversified now .than twenty-five years ago. This same Georgia farmer admitted that he was paid a larger profit on his land for not raising cotton than he received years ago. On his reduced acreage he is by fertilization and more scientific farming producing each year more cotton than he formerly produced on'greater acreage. This land is not growing up in weeds for. he is pro during ten acres of peanuts and fifteen acres of sweet potatoes or yams as they are called in the south. He admits these two Crbps bring him in more money than any twenty-five acres o f cotton he ever raised. In addition at present he is fattening twenty-five head o f hogs oif.the' inferior peanuts and the un- niarketahle yams,'Raising more erpps, with greater income add yet being paid by. the government to reduce cotton pro­ duction should be one good reason we suppose why a southern farmer wants free trade on everything he has to purchase. While these examples give a different picture to the north­ ern farmer we read in Florida papers about the fight being .made against northern shipment of cream, milk and poultry products- The dairy organizations in Florida are fighting for a higher price and complain that northern cream is being shipped south at $10 a ten gallon can. while they are demand­ ing $16 a can in the stated A New Deal braintruster at a recent dairy meeting fanned the flames of discontent when he stated milk prices should be lowered' rather than increased so that more people could* purchase milk, and this in a state that boasts of free trade sentiment—only for what they have to purchase. •- . . ■ -• ■ It was reported at this dairy meeting that England wanted several thousand tons of our surplus butter at 27c a pound, which was mdre than the government was paying for butter to give away for relief. Sec. Wallace refused to approve the sale because it would take too much of the surplus and thus .force the price up on the consumer, not having a word to say about-the producer. , . , Thus you have the New Deal free tirade plan admitting products in: direct competition to the farmer to hold prices down for the consumer. In the end it may b& a good thing " that Hull and .Roosevelt get their free trade ideas over. It. .Will bring the direct, result home quicker to the American farmer* north and south, as well as to the manufacturer of all«the farm­ er must purchase, "find in the final 'analysis labor in such fac­ tories will be unemployed because the farmer will have nothing Under free trade but a more limited purchasing power. The Georgia farmer says the south will be safe with Hull on the job, but Who is to look after the interests of the northern farmer who already is the victim of a policy that permits im­ portation of grain, live stock, meats and wool? , . .......... ,, FOOD STAMP PLAN ONE-SIDED AFFAIR The cities, or at least a number have adopted what is known as the food stamp plan, supposedly to use up surplus farm crops. The'plan comes out of Washington and has not been in use long enough for a fair trial either to business or the farmer. < , .* *. As it has been started it is manifestly one sided as the city consumer gets free food while those on relief or in need in smaller towns or rural sections get nothing. Basing an opinion at this early date on information we get from an independent groceryinan in a city tvhere the plan has beep adopted, only the large outlets; mostly chain organizations, are getting the benefit of the new business. This gentleman tells Us that the chain grocery stores offer special articles at low prices to attract buyers, even at times having prices on certain articles below cost. This the'small grocer cannot do and of course those who have the free gov­ ernment tickets naturally trade with the chain organizations. Those on relief get a certain colored coupon book from relief headquarters for a certain amount. These can be exchanged at the stores for other colored tickets that permits the purchase at low cost o f such “ over-stocked” farm or garden produce, all of which is specified by the surplus food administration. The grocery company deposits the tickets in the bank as money and the bahk gets credit from the government. Those on relief profit. The grocery company takes its usual profit. The poor devil out in some small town or in the country gets no free vegetables. The fellow that is able to keep off relief gets soaked for nil prices are higher to meet the government cost of con- dueting the funny business. . , j , Every move the New Deal makes is to provide cheaper living for organised labor in the cities at the expense of those Who live in the rural counties and produce the necessities of life eft the farm and the garden. Meantime the New Deal pre­ pares to force organized union wages on farm labor with hour regulations and hand nothing back to the community in the Way o f gratuities that must feed the nation. When it comes to mule history the New Deal has added a chapter or two for you will recoil two years ago Ar­ thur Morgan, then a_citizen in good standing as head o f the TVA, exposed some funny business in mule and jack trading with Uncle Sam’s money. It cost Uncle Sam $5,280 pay for a cer­ tain Jack the New Dealers purchased o f a good Democrat politician. Farmer Wallafce arid a few o f his brain trust­ ers conceived the idea that'Uncle Sam might just as well be in the mule bus­ iness and have.a few thousand of them roaming over the hills on the up-and- down acres the government had pur­ chased to have a parking space for the ’Norris dam.. It was just two years ago this month that the famous Jaek laid down and died without leaving is­ sue and suffering with impotency as the veterinarians described the ma­ lady. TVA scandal at the jtime closed the mule history at Norris dam. FDR did not want the public to know tbe inside o f his dam (Norris) administra­ tion and with a swipe o f his smear stick, one Arthur Morgan, was jerked out of. office and branded as one op­ posed to "progress” . Since that time -in the minds o f the New Dealers the former Antioch Professor is just one of the 180 million the New Deal was ordained to govern by decree of those who follow Moscow. You have read much o f the sup spots and the elctripal disturbances on -a certain Sunday not long ago. Some had it that winter can?* about a second time as a result of this tinUstial phenomenon, In .traveling about you get differentddeaa from different peo­ ple. Some were serious and some Lord er on the funny side, For instance a Pennsylvania citizen thinks the cold spell last week was an eclipse o f the Roosevelt star blotting out tlie sun and o f course shutting off the heat. An Indianian who had sought comfort and pleasure around Daytona says the electrical disturbance Was caused by the -Roosevelt star getting out o f its orbit and mixing tracks with the, God o f Mars—War. But it is the New Yorker that has the solution—Mamma Roosevelt is hack in the White House once more and all the electrical switches were given- a turn at one time upsetting even the solar system Catholic frith , the southern Kluxers went into a rage and did they talk hack to FDR, The White Hdhse hav­ ing been good the past seven years in conducting class distinction and wag­ ing class against class, sprang the re- Ugious issue against Farley, and the presidential kiss o f death put James out o f the running. The South ap­ plauds Roosevelt knifing Farley and the South wants Hull as the next presidential candidate hut they are afraid that Roosevelt will brand him as an undesirable, leaving the Great White Father in the White House sb the only 100 per cent heavi pent New Dealer to carry on the Hitlei program in this country, We notice that George W. Platt, Cincinnati attorney, has a plan to smoke out all candidates for congress and senate in Ohio to declare them-- selves on. the $1,338,000 refund to Ohio’s old age pension system which has been held up by the Roosevelt ad­ ministration regardless o f the fact Other states that hijid*their payments held up for one .reason or another made good. * The squabble resulted when Charles Sawyer and Martin L. Davey were contesting fo r the Demo­ cratic nomination for governor in this state two I years ago. Roosevelt sided with Sawyer to put Davey behind the "eight ball” -but Davey and his friends bolted at the November election which Sent Sawyer to the political gallows. The break between the two has never healed and Roosevelt has refused the payment to the state. Had Sawyer been elected it would ,have been paid long ago. Now Platt is going to de­ mand o f each candidate for congress and the senate that they declare them­ selves oh this issue before the May primary. The positive cure for the break will be election o f a Republican congress that will see that Ohio old age pensioners," and those who are now on the list approved but not sufficient funds for them, -have benefits. Addi­ tional pensioners have no hope if Roosevelt has his way of holding"back payment. I f 'Ohio should do what Col­ orado has done as we are informed, present pensioners will take a decided put so -that more new pensioners can be put on the list. This will not be necessary if the next Congress is under Republican control. Definition o f a New Dealer. When ever a voter not good enough to be a Republican and too cussed onery to be a Democrat he is 100 per cent fit for the New Deal.—-Georgia Defini­ tion. buildings go Fears old is nothing new under the New Deri. Anything that brings about waste and expenditure of public fund* is a cardinal principle o f crack-pot brain-trusters who go on the theory it makes no difference, .the money don’t belong to you or me, About every other southern county you pass through has some kind o f ai? army, airplane, navy barracks or CCC camp. There a re ware houses by the hundred all filled to the roof with army equipment and munitions, much o f which will be useless in five years we are told. This is not news to Greene county. I f you don’t believe it drive over to see what the government is doing at Fairfield. You will be paying for all o f it more and more each year on everything you buy and much tjiat you have to sell. roads. And some people would be pay- ting more tax than they da now under our sales tax, Gasoline tax is the eeriest and the cheapest tax collected .in any state. It is paid a t the source and there is no need o f such a cost o f collection jm >we -have had fo r sals* tax and this applies to any administration, FIRE LOSS $15W Greene county farmers may have some worry about farm prices on what they have to sell but their troubles along this line are as nothing if and when the New Deal starts to enforce the wage-hour regulations on both the farmqr and farm labor., The farmer today ii taking a cut in every­ thing he has to sell where The crop must be processed by labor under the New Deal wage-hour requirements. In Orlando, Florida last week there was a meeting of fruit growers and ship­ pers at which time a New Deal labor representative was present to tell each just what-must be done in the future. The New Deal puts the fruit grower and shipper on the defensive at once by Urging all fruit pickers and pack­ ers to join some union and have a representative under the Wagner la­ bor law. The Wage-hour administra­ tion works in Conjunction with the nut crackers from the Wallace suite. The great complaint at this meeting was that the small fruit or vegetable grower could not meet the increased cost. If he was forced into the* co­ operative he would bp no better off 1 for the union wages Would lie the same there as With the United Grow- < era and Shippers. Fruit groovers, sh ip -; perB were given to understand they must meet the wage-hour law require­ ments irrespective o f what price they received for their crops. We Want to • attend the first meeting o f the Greene ! County farmers when the government Calls them together for instruction on the Wage and hour law. Enforcement may be a good thing if for nothing . else than make the farmer do more You may not "know it but we have first hand information that the New Deal will provide for you a housekeep­ er. or nurse under certain conditions. First you must be a New Dealer. You must be in need, You must have com­ mittee endorsement. ■You must be ready to carry out New Deal orders on call and a lot of other things. Uncle Sam. now has more than 800 house­ keepers or maids on government’ pay roll working for other people. Republi­ cans or Democrats have little Or no chance. These are attractive jobs for these maids must work under federal WPA union rules and not over 8 hours a day or 120 hours a month. This means only work for sixteen days out o f each month and draw $52. If you are not getting one. ojf these govern­ ment maids you are missing some o f the benefits o f the New Deal. In as much as the writer o f this column and his wife have accepted an invita­ tion to be the guests o f our Seventh District Congressman and wife in Washington, we expect to try and get our name in the pot for the govern­ ment paid housekeeper ,not that the Congressman will be able to any more than show us the shop where they keep this kind o f free service for dis­ tribution. And you would be surprised if you^knew how many and who are receiving this service right now in Greeneycounty. A poll jof .1605 daily ‘ newspaper editors, only 497 answered it was then* opinion Roosevelt would, run again, however most o f them preferred Secretary Cordull Hull. Anyone who can read the signs-of the times and put two and two together can be safe on a guess there has been no fin e but that Roosevelt wanted and would seek a third term to force more o f the Hitler ideas o f government on-the peo­ ple. What did Undersecretary Welles find on his trip to Europe ? He has not said publically, neither has his boss, FDR. Did he go abroad looking for an excuse to get the U. S. in the Euro­ pean war? Will this excuse not come out following the Democratic conven­ tion, or at least after the November election ? ' Roosevelt has broken faith with Congress already in letting down -the bars for shipment o f airplanes to England. .They cannot be flown across to Canada but Canada, farmers use teams to .pull them over .the interna­ tional boundry line—all with Roose velt’a approval and against the senti­ ment o f the neutrality act. Drive south and you escape what we know as sales taxes. The states that court winter tourists business have taken care o f the sales tax on every­ thing hut gasoline—and here you pay a plenty. It is a funny thing, people complain about sales taxes but never say much about tax on gasoline—even eight cents a gallon in several states. I f Ohio collected 8 cents a gallon on the sale o f gasoline we would have plenty o f ijoney for other things than Had you noticed the quick change in public sentiment since the Finland­ ers gave up the fight against the Rus­ sians. Wo have been reading comment in scores o f big city newspapers and not'once have we found comment fa ­ vorable to England. Even radio com­ mentators have turned against King George's government and for Chamb­ erlain, most people have taken him off their list other than a double-crosser. England urged Finland to wage war against Russia to keep the .latter from aiding Germany. England promised much to Finland and did nothing. The U, S. gave millions as did Norway and Sweden, No where Ro we find England or France giving aid, nor. did they to Poland and the other small nations that fell before dictators. About the only friend and supporter England has in this country is Franklin D. Roosevelt. * Down at Key West the other day we witnessed where many government buildings erected during the World War have been demolished and new ones will take their place as training quarters for 5,000 more men in the navy, to keep us out o f the European war we are told.
