Friday, May 8, 1940 DUDLEY A. WHITE FOR SENATOR This newspaper strongly favors the nomination of Gon- greaeman Dudley A, White for United States Senator. We base this decision primarily upon the fact that he already has made a record in the House and we know from that whggg he will stand in the Senate. In the second place, he wjJj *bfef represent the entire state, without sectional or cla«* leanings. Bom and brought up in rural Ohio, with five generations of Ohio farmers and small town merchants hack of him, it is no wander that’he understands the viewpoint of the rural popu­ lation and its urgent needs. He has proved this fact time and again by his steadfast' opposition to coercion and compulsion in the Farm Acts. He can he counted upon to support and help formulate a practical farm program without regimentation. But so far is he from being a one-idea man that from the early days of his service in the House he has been a command­ ing figure in respect to the broad fundamental issues of the ' day. Such, for example, is the fact that he made the first speech from the Republican side against the Supreme Court Packing Bill, He fought the reorganization bill. He fought to prevent the unnecessary increase in the tax on payrolls and pay envelopes. He fought New Deal extravagance. He fought to make the relief dollar go the full route for relief. His record showsthat he is able to cojpe with farm problems and city‘problems; to deal with business, labor and social questions. He is a candidate whom we cap warmly recommend to the voters of this section, knowing that he Will ably represent the interests of all sections. < ' ' ......... i . . . r*t ’ *• DOES AVERAGE FARMER APPROVE OF WAGNER LAW? Congress is now, in a hot debate over proposed changes in the Wagner, (Communistic) labor law. Wagner-does not need the interests of. the farmers of New York state when he can be elected by the combined city vote. This law has Roose­ velt’s open support and every labor union follower regardless of what upion he belongs to will urge defeat of the changes. What are the farm interests doing to protect themselves ? This is not purely a union measure for if the law stands as it is the unionsyhave, the promise that farmers will next come under the New Deal provisions. It is proposed to release labor in plants from provisions of the Wagner law-where agriculture products, farm and garden, are processed. The meat packers are bidding on hogs on the basis of what it'costs to. process meats. The canners of all fruits and vege­ tables do the same. Processors of grains for human consump­ tion do the same. In fact the farmer under the Wagner law is the goat and,his price is held down to meet the increased.cos Of.processing what is produced on the farm, . . -If you have not written your congressman' and senators, do so. We know how some of, them stand but you owe it to them to' write a postal card and give your approval urging a vote to amend the present law. If the law is npt amended by this Congress and the New Deal has control of the next, you fate what the processors now face and are charging back to you in market prices, of wage ■regulation, for alL farm labor. The :New Deal is pledged to the unions to bring this, .about. The time to enter a wedge is by giving your approval NOW on amendment of the Wagner v;r4 a ! w < * ' * • - . AT YOUR EXPENSE A ibill sponsored by Republican members of the New ‘ York General Assembly which would, require all public pro jects within the state to earry a sign, ’’This Project Is Paid for by Taxpayers,” has been vetoed by Governor Lehman. .This recalls the-tactics^ employed in the last presidential Campaign in which' merchants were threatened with prosecu­ tion for displaying, cards which, revealed how much of the „ price of various articles represented hidden taxes: . Nothing can be more embarrassing to Democratic plans than the disclosure of the big bite taxes take out of every dollar. Never in the history of the nation has the government been so overladen with dead weight of nonproductive employes de­ pending upon the taxpayers for support, and at salaries above the average of those, who are employed in commercial pursuits. Those who do not pay income tax should not be mislead • into the belief that they pay no taxes, for they pay—every time they buy a loaf of bread, a pack of cigarets, chewing gum, ■ gasoline or. lipstick. If the public were really educated on the tax question,, and knew precisely what the extravagant programs carried on by reckless politicians cost every individual* from the man who is on relief to the man who is in the high-salary brackets, there would be an irresistible demaiid for economy and sanity in expenditures. , Every public project ought to carry a sign telling precise­ ly how much it is costing the taxpayers. The notion that the government “gives away money’1’ is one of the biggest fallacies ever perpetrated on a gullible human race. The government gives nothing. It take's.—Ohio State'Journal. BE THANKFUL WE ARE NOT IN WAR While the rest of the world is depressed by wars and the misery they entail, it is interesting to know that two great fairs for education and amusement will again open shortly in New York end San Francisco. What a contrast to the death, destruction and debt that fhco Warring nations. At the fairs in California and New York will be presented a record of industrial and intellectual „achievement for the betterment of humanity. This nation should feel most thankful that it can devote itself to such constructive undertakings. Our record of pro­ gress as shown in these two great fairs, should be an object lesson to our citizens to stand firmly for policies which recog­ nize the superiority of intelligence over brute force in securing lasting settlements of disputed questions. Let us .hope that as our people visit these interesting ex­ positions on the two sides of our continent, they will think ttf the important principles they represent beyond the mere giving of pleasure. Be thankful you can travel in America as a free citizen and enjoy the privileges it has to offer. When one makes * survey of the New Deal and how members of both branches of Congress are herded and forced to vote op measures under 1 hreuts of loss of relief and other :'unda in their districts and states it' ;s no wonder Sen, Vic Donahey wants to retire. Being On the ground floor and knowing what is going on, and yet helpless to correct the situation, leaves, a burden on any member who thinks for himself. If the member is conscious of his duty and responsibil­ ity the load is double. Being a mem­ ber of the majority party responsible for the local government in the na­ tion’s capital, and know fwhat condi­ tions are there and how all forms of crime prosper might be another rea­ son why a majority senator desires to retire, ^Washington once bad a very low crime record. The city is composed mainly of government employees. To­ day its percentage, of crime is on par with New York and Chicago ^nd noth­ ing being done about it. friend tott* u» t o danger is that this fight will drag down a groat maperity of the Democrat^ county and district nominee*. Meantime it looks like fohn j Bricker wifi get all the Republican vote and half of the Democratic vote.

Dr,, Walker, president and Bishop Ramson, with Davey backing, drove right and left, firing and hireing. If a member of the faculty did not join the proces­ sion off went his head' sp far as a job was concerned. Now days you do. not hear much .loud boasting from Walker or Ramson for the reason- there is a new hand in control of the state's cash box. Moreover new regu­ lations from the ; state side, insures employees' a square deal. I t has been admitted for years that the state made a grave mistake when there was a combination board be­ tween tfie A.M.E. Church and a state appointed ' board authorized to ad­ minister the state side. A year ago members of Wilberfore Alumni urged that the, beards be divorced and the state operate its own independently and return to the old method of two or three white members as was done back in the days of Dr. W, A. Gallo­ way. I t was argued the school made its greatest progress during that period and it was not a political foot­ ball. If the average Democrat pr New Dealer thinks the European War is far enough away that his son or sons will no t be drawn into it "by the Roosevelt administration, someone should spread that speech Tuesday given by a mem­ ber of Pariiment as to what it would cost America in the future if we do not,join fire allies in the present con­ flict. England is relying on f'DR's promise to give aid in the way of men and battleships and nothing but a Democratic campaign stands in the way a t present If we are not going to get in the war abroad then why the rush weeks and months ago to get young men from Democratic families1 of prominence, jobs in the Navy and War departments in Washington? The Demopratics cannot aid England with boys from families with politics1 pull escooned in d big office bujlding in Washington. It will be the poor devils from other families without a pull that will be called for service. Sam Guard, noted live stock editor, asked the question over the radio or Wednesday, as to, why this country is not supplying England with bacon? The same question can- be asked as to why England, and Prance purchase beef and wheat in Argentine in pre­ ference to this country- They do not hesitate to-ask us for help in their European combat, We pay them $35 an ounce for the(r gold which is much greater- than the world price set by the Bank of England. We loaned them money, gave them men and ships in the World Wat, and received nothing in return, ^England gives nothing and takes,everything every­ where at all times, Answering Mr. Guard’s question Is simple. He should inquire of Sec. Hull as to the provi­ sions of our trade treaty. He says England is taking two and one-half millon pounds of bacon from Sweden weekly. Infaet he answores his own question by that statement. England is taking Turkish tobacco in prefer­ ence to American tobacco yet England asks us for war material and planes. Through King George, England was promised our boys for gun fodder at that famous visit in Washington.last summer, but that was one promise that has not been made good due to public opposition.

(Continued from last week) This account of how federal funds were used In gambling on the cotton market is continued from last issue, The charge was made by Sen. Mc- Kellar, Dem,, Tenn.,. on the floor of the Senate in debating a bill where the American Cotton Cooperatives As­ sociation, a New Deal board, was ask­ ing for five million dollars to cover loses in cotton gambling. The state­ ments are from the Congressional Re­ cord aud.not from notesTor memory pf the writer who heard the debate on the question, The following is the last paragraph cf the former article as a review of the continued story: “He (E, P. Creekmore, New Or­ leans, who drew a salary of $75,000 a year out of funds intended for cotton producers) asks' for $419,091.17 for the Alabama Cotton Cooperative As- ociation, successor to the Alabama Farm Bureau Cotton Association that went into bankruptcy. All the various beneficiaries are set out. Pour million and a half dollars is divided up, but where does the other half million go?” On page G300 Congressional Record, Sen. McKellar states that not a single cotton farmer in these, associations ever got a thin dime of profit out of this cooperative association other than one that was an official. Their debts amounting to $400,000 jfnd another of $800,000 have not been paid, Down in Memphis, a t Monroe and Front Streets stands a magnificient building pf stone, a great office build­ ing erected by the Midsouth Coopera­ tive Association. This1building*stands m no farmer’s name and there is no incumbrance on it.' Mr. Henry owes the government -right now $800,000 and has not paid any of it and is Wait­ ing for Creekmore to get-th is bill through, to use the money for paying the debt he owes the government, rep­ resenting money which should never have been loaned to him . . . . If the debts1of all these associations were paid all would be in bankruptcy. Governor Bricker has named some outstanding men of the colored race as hew. board members and that ac­ counts for the silence from the Walk­ er-Ramson sector. Last week an­ nouncement was made that Dr. Jones, Prof, Few, Prof. McGinnis and others have been restored. All had good re­ cords in the teaching profession and were removed admittedly by those in authority for political reasons. We picked., up a point during a de­ bate on .a farm issue in Congress that is worth considering,. especially by farmers in the great central and mid- western states. The New Deal propo­ ses some 200 odd million dollars for farm parity payments. The Farm Bureau lobby is for it but what branch of farming will really get the benefit? It was admitted that both wheat, and corn are now about a t parity price. This leaves tobacco, rice and cotton to benefit tinder the proposed bill. The head of the American Farm Bureau is backing the bill. It is also proposed to'add the appropriation for the Farm Tenancy to this bill and this will make 70 rnilion. dollars more. A schedule accompanies this bill and it is interest­ ing, Each loan is to to between five and six thousand dollars. Ohio is to get only twenty-six such loans, while Texas will get 4,300 such loans. Seventy-five percent of the taxes to to collected to raise the 270 million will to collected in the northern states. If you were a congressman or a sena­ tor how would you vote on such a bill? ’ In Democratic circles in Ohio the fight between two ex-governors, White and Davey, has the rank and file split about,, even according to observers. We had a very prominent Democratic tell us Tuesday that the governorship con­ test wifi just about insure defeat for that ticket next November. I t is con­ ceded that Martin L, Davey has the inside track a t this time. The Sawyer element is saying little and support­ ing White. Davey decorated* Sawyer iii the last contest by a neat defeat ac­ cording to inside charges, If Davey gets^the nomination he sure wifi have a n i c e s t of trouble ahead of him in his fall campaign.

Frazier, North Dakota, as if It Was a bill relating to wheat). The cotton growers did not ask ton. Frazier to present this bill. Who did? On page 6303 Sen, McKellar refers to a bill offered by ton, Frasier to re­ imburse the wheat* cooperatives, for .similar charges and this bill is now before the Court of Claims, On page 6308 Sep. Ellender, La., D., states th a t the A, C. C. A. has no individual membership of cotton farm­ ers but is composed of officers of other cotton farm organizations, Bids were asked for handling cotton and the A. C, C. A, made the lowest bid from 35 to 40 cents a bale,* By storing ijje cotton there was a gain of four cents a pound. Some has been sold and some is yet in storage a t so much per bale per month. McKellar then asks if most of this cotton has not been. in. storage as much as 90 months? It had previously been pointed out that charges some time ago had reached: $19.34 per bale. Sen. McKellar opened tho discussion a t the April lQth session that it was * the-cottonjfarmers that had been rob­ bed and it'was to them the money was Idue; not theofficers of; a jot of associa- , tions that were interlocked. The cot- ‘ton farmers have only received ad­ vances a t enormous rates of interest. 1A quotation from Matthew. 35, twpnty- ininth verse was McKellat’s idea.of what had happened.. “For unto everyone that hath shall; he given, and he that hath, not shall be taken away even that which he hath”. Abundance: Everyone of .these . lobbyists* (Cotton Coops) are here in .abundance. Creekmore,-gets a salary !now of $35,000 and hi? directors salaries are from $6,000 to $8,-000 a year. These men are lobbying here every day for this five million dollars. I am proposing to give this money back to the farmers, not to these lob-; byists. Each of the 250,000 cotton farmers would get from $15 to $20 under this bill which is much less than they can hope for i f the lobby co-ops get their hands on it. j Thus the debate continued and the bill has not yet passed. THAT AMAZING KOONEY KID Congress passed a special bill intro­ duced by*.Cong. Clarence J. Brown for an increase in a Civjil War peusiod to Mrs. Efffe Washington, colored, Xenia. The Great FDR1n a moment of eco­ nomical dreaming vetoed the bill pi ob-" ably to save money for New Deal spending rather than aid an aged colored citizen, fIer fate was not much different than.has fallen to other Civil War pensioners-wto have been denied aid. Thcj House took a vote on the veto which stood 212 for and 143 against. I t takes a two-third vote to over ride a presidential veto, and this aged widow must make the sacrifice in her declining days.while some Com­ munist gets a $S<000 job or to aid in paying the mifliohs the 745 acre air­ port near the capital will cost so that Mamma Roosevelt can reach the White House quicker and not have to ride four or five miles by auto from one of three airports now in use.
