What Farm Bill Provides What the big farm bill now in con- ference between the senate and house finally will provide will not be deter- mined until it finally is adopted by both branches, but it is apparent row that it will do many things. Only a few issues are in controversy and these may be quickly settled without bringing into question the features on which there now is no disagreement. It is possible then, to take a squint at the legislation in an effort to see how it will work, always remember- ing that many of the powers confer- Ted upon the president and the secre- tary of agriculture are permissive and may-be used or ignored in their discretion. They are not mandatory. But what they can do they probably will do, in some form or other, and here is what the bill permits in the way of operations to raise farm prices and relieve the farm-mortgage situa- tion, (1) Federal-owned cotton would be pooled to be sold on credit to growers in exchange for acreage reduction. The government keeps the cotton, selling it later and giving profits to farmers. (2) Secretary Wallace is authorized to proclaim a processing tax on wheat, cotton, corn, hogs, rice, tobac- co, sugar cane, sugar beets and dairy Products in the amount he deems, necessary to increase income over market levels. (3) Receipts of the tax would either be paid to the farmer as direct bene- fit or by leasing of land, in exchange for decreasing his production, He would share according to production reduction. (4) Marketing agreements among distributors are allowed so they can Pay more to the farmer. (5) A compensatory tax on com- Peting products is provided to offset Price increases through the process- ing tax. (6) Secretary Wallace is permitted, if he desires, to proclaim a minimum price to be paid for farm products go- ing into the domestic market. (1) A $2,000,000,000 federal land bank bond issue is provided, with the interest of 4 per cent to be guaran- teed by the government, to permit re- financing through the land banks of farm mortgages at 4 1-2 per cent in- terest. (8) $200,000,000 from the Recon- construction Corporation is author- ized to let the farmer to refloat other debts with creditors through a com- Position agreement. (8) $50,000,000 from the treasury is Provided to be added to land banks’ paid-in surplus so they can extend Joans and $15,000,000 to repay them for loss of interest, which now ranges around 6 per cent. (20) $50,000,000 from Reconstruc- tion Corporation is authorized for loans to levee, irrigation and drain- age districts, secured by their obliga- tions, so they can refund their debts at lower rates. (1D _$100,000,000 from Reconstruc- tion Corporation is provided for loans to joint stock land banks so they may reduce interest to 5 per cent with the requirement they not foreclose for two years. Tyranny in Congress Protests by Majority Leader Sneil against the manner in which the in- flation section of the farm bill was driven through the house will get scant support among those who re- member the “good old days” of Czar Reed and Uncle Joe Cannon. Snell's objection was that the house was being bound and gagged by the decision of the rules committee which specified that only one vote should be taken on the section, barred amendments from the floor and Umited the debate to six hours. He Protested that such action was arbi- trary and did not give opponents of the measure full opportunity to ex- Press their views, No one 1s in favor of gag rule but the average man is less in favor of long-winded talk which gets nowhere, hence the country will not get very much excited about congressional Procedures. It has enough to do had check up on results. ‘The various rules under which leg- islation has been passed at this spe- cial session are interesting, however, | °, Fecause they cast light on the natural The e Bismarck Tribune ‘An Independ 2.00 aan toward Srey which al- ways is apparent in congress. When Speaker Rainey was elected it was announced that he was going to be big-hearted and let “the boys” run things. There would be no wield- ing of the big stick to force them in- to line. Everything was going to be love and kisses. But these soft words did not dim the fact there are 435 congressmen, frequently wanting 435 different things. All, or nearly all, are cap- able talkers and some of them are as full of words as any senator. If they were permitted to say everything they wanted to say on all of the sub- jects presented for consideration it would be practically impossible to get anywhere. We should have the spec- tacle of an almost perpetual fili- buster. Adoption of rules limiting debate curb this tendency, even though it does lay the powers that be open to charges of legislative tyranny. However, it always has been that way in the house and it probably al- ways will be, no matter what any speaker says just before or just after he is elected. When Uncle Joe Can- non reigned he was an uncrowned king and many can remember the bit- ter tirades which were directed against him, In comparison the latest speaker from Illinois is a soft- handed gentleman indeed, for Uncle Joe was a boss who really was a boss, Even the late speaker Longworth, as genial a man as ever sat in the speaker's chair, found it necessary to THe “ATTACK ON | SUDGE, i BRADLEY, Go YEARS OLD) 4 BY TOWA «FARM MOB, apply hard-boiled rules to get any- thing done. Guarantee of Disaster Although they affect us very di- rectly, if we were only aware of the fact, most of the things discussed at the meeting of state health officers which ended here Wednesday were of interest only to medical men. In fact, some were beyond the ability of the average layman to grasp thor- oughly, since they dealt with subjects more or less technical in their na- ture. The statement of Miss Gena M. Johnson, Cass county school nurse, .com@s so close to everyone, however, that notice should be taken of it. It ‘was so clear that anyone may under- stand. She simply called to the attention of the doctors the fact that resistance to disease has been weakened for many children by malnutrition due to economic stress. Juvenile tuberculosis is gaining and the immediate pros- Pect for continued health among North Dakota's youth is not too bright. Vaccination for smallpox is being universally neglected and a major epidemic may be required to stimulate interest again. These are things which seem far away to some people, but most of us Tealize that death or serious illness always is just around the corner for ourselves and our loved ones. One of the standard facts in life is that we never know what tomorrow will bring. But we can have pretty sound ideas about what we want it to bring. We want it to bring heath and happiness for every child as well as every adult; we want it to bring opportunity rather than handicap; achievement rather than destruction. ‘What it will bring depends, in most cases, on what we do today. Neglect of the conditions which make such disaster possible; indifference to a situation which imperils the health of our youth is about the best guar- | #PPei antee possible that trouble will befall tomorrow, Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors.

Largest Debtor Class (New York Times) Professor Kemmerer of Princeton has sometimes been called the “doctor of sick public finance.” He has prac- ticed in several countries with suc- cess, helping to balance budgets and stabilize currencies. It begins to look as if he might be called in to the bed- side of ailing American finance. If eo -yure, 000 6f the dire tings to be Prescribed by him would doubtless be something to rid the patient of false ideas and dangerous obsessions, In an address at Cleveland on Feb. 11, 1933, Professor Kemmerer spoke, as if by anticipation, of one of the delu- sions afflicting Senator Thomas and other inflationists in Washington re- garding the relief of debtors in this country. Professor Kemmerer asked who constitute the greatest debtor class in the United States. His an- swer was simple. They are the stock- holders who own the big corporations whose debts, expressed in bonds is- sued, are seven times the amount of farm mortgages and all other agricul- tural loans combined. Now what would happen if the gov- ernment came to the aid of these debtors by devaluing the dollar so as to make it worth 50 cents or there- about? They would profit by many maillions, ae they would be enabled to pay off els debts at half thelr contracted price. Then who would be that body of creditors so contemptible, SO proper a prey, in the eyes of Sena- tor Thomas? They would be thou- sands and thousands of middle-class investors who had put their meager savings into corporation bonds; they would be the holders of insurance po- Iicies; they would be the owners of small savings-bank accounts; they would be colleges and hospitals and libraries and societies for mutual benefit and pensions, with their funds invested in the confidence that when the bonds they bought said a dollar in gold they would get that kind of dollar. Meanwhile, the speculators— the sort of people whom President Roosevelt in his inaugural address de- seribed as “unscrupulous money- changers”—would be having a per- fectly glorious time. 1 PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M.

As I scrape the bottom of the bin in the vain hope of finding enough to make up the first installment of my income tax, it occurs to me that now is the time for President Roose- velt to perform another memorable deed in the interest of economy by abolishing at one swell foop the 68 proval.

Besides the inevitable overlapping and interference of the vast number of bureaus, all taking a whack at this or that health problem, all or) nearly all of them issue more or less educational or informative matter for the public, and the printing and dis- tribution of all these pamphlets, press notices and reports cost enough to stamp out one or two of the diseases endemic in the United States if the money were used prop- erly, Sixty-eight generals in a comic opera would be ridiculous but not more so than 68 health bureaus in our federal government.

As Archi- bald Henderson, Shaw's biographer, pushed through the crowd to present her, the scowl which Shaw assumed for the press cleared away and he gave her a handsome smile. Then, mistaking her for George’s grand- daughter, instead of his daughter, Shaw said: “You are better looking than .your grandfather, but have you got his beautiful hands?” Mrs. De Mille ad- mitted that she hasn’t. Then Shaw quizzed her farther, “Do you inherit his oratorical ability?” “No,” she an- swered, “the only one “of his traits that I inherited was his ability to eat ice cream.” After she had gone, Henderson presented a copy of Henry George’s it unlawful to advocate the over- eral of the D. ce * A parasite i seeesey who goes through a revolving door on some- body else's push —Eddie Canton, com- edian, . q ak oe I think today that, while business has not materially improved in the last year, there is an important por- tent of recovery, and that is that we are all in a happier frame of mind.— Charles M.
