-J**“*>■/> A m m e l m w W o t swvm&m mmm, 21 c b d a b v u j ^ By CLARENCE J. BROWN ■Member of Cypress, Seventh Ohio District, in vetoing the Bankhead Bill, which ■"would haws prohibited ‘the fixing of ' ceilrng pricee on corn end wheat be low true:parity, the President in-* shted that the average increase of elx cents per, bushel In the price of corn would raise ,living costs - as to bring higher demands, for higher wages' and result din dangerous Intis- t|on and, serious damage- to the wag effort* The Senate did not vote ng passing the measure, over the. Pres*- ( idents veto, hut instead refereed the matter, back to the Committee on v Agriculture for possible later -corn , sideration. Eight- -days later the Roosevelt Administration, through its Pood' Administrator Chester Bayiq, ordered com prices increased by five cents per bushel for the avowed pui>- pose of stabilising grain and live stock production. We will leave it • up-to our readers to figure, out how .a six cents per bushel increase in com prices 1 by Administration order will be beneficial’ to' national economy. ’ ' It does’fiot makesense, does it? The President has permitted tty: bill increasing the, national debt limit tortwo, hundred apd ten billion dollars, and carrying with it a -repeal of the Executive order limiting ..salaries to twenty-five thousand dollars, to be- ' come a , law without his signature. However, he did issue, a statement “ attacking" Congress for attaching the - salary limitation- provision ,to ttye ‘ national debt -measure, claiming that the attaching, of such a rider to an important bill-was unfair and uncon stitutional method- of legislating.’ Such legislative action is not uncon stitutional, and a parlimentdry pro cedure of loilg- standing.' However, there is a grave question that the President had any constitutional auth o r ity or right'whatsoever’ to limit - sglwries by executive order. A great .proportion o f the “rousts hills the "Roosevelt Administration has prp- ; seated' to the. rubber , stamp „•Con- .grosses. o f the' past have included questionable, provisions aiding with necessary legislation* ' Now that, the 'Congress has given the President*a taste o f bio own, medicine, ’he does ' not like it, DIVORCE SHHS?

As for dropping the FSA, charges have be^n made that some, very prom inent people in administrative circles owning southern land that was worth less had sold at a bigprice land with little-or no tax'value and the FSA •in turn sold it in small lots to*poor share croppers. The various state FSA organiza tions have been costing as much ' as 3100,000 in some States. Fop in stance in Nevada only four loans to taling* $85,050 Were made. U tah made- 25 loans totaling $192,291, all- tb<se in 1942, with a high salaried! overhead.
