THE BISMARCK 'TRIBUNK, ‘'UESDAY, NUVEMBER 7, 1988 \ come to seem as nothing. Tt may be true that we have had financial and economic despots in ' -APER this country who have taken unfair toll from the people. Doubtless we have had such. But their activities and their takings from the people's sustenance’ have been as nothing ‘when compared with the takings of the politicians. The farmer would be sick to the point of insanity who would willingly take the medicine prescribed by the five: governors, even though those gentlemen gravely assured the presi- dent they could “sell” the idea to the people of their own states. Other objections to the proposal are outlined in the statement issued The Bismarck Tribune An Ne a Daily by carrier, per year ......$7.20 Daily by mail (in Bis- YORTE ....ssseserereceseeeeeees 200i by the president after his confab He eT teen Tia? of North | o| with the wise men from the west. kly by mail in Canada, per ‘They are worth studying.

We have had too many political shows, not enough honest and whole-souled action. Member of The Associated Press not otherwise newspaper and also the local news of spontaneous origin published herein. All rights of republication of all other matter herein are also reserved. The President Says ‘No’ Rejection by President Roosevelt of the program presented to him by five midwest governors will surprise few, if any, persons who have followed the matter closely. The reasons for the action lie—as they have from the beginning—in the program itself. oy First of all, it is worthy of note that the processes by which the gov- ernors would lift farm prices to parity were essentially the same as those the government now is using. They would curtail production and force prices upward by creating a relative scarcity, The government's program con- templates an actual reduction of the surplus by shrinking the acreages Planted to wheat, corn, cotton and other crops. It recognizes that this will be a slow process and so, in or- der to meet the urgent needs of mil- Hons of farmers, it is paying them a bonus to cooperate in this program. The effect is not, as some have contended, to give something for nothing. It is, however, as close as one ever gets to that situation, since it is advance payment for something to be done in the future. The governors would handle the surplus immediately, by fiat of law. ‘They would organize and regiment the farmers of every state, put them under an iron discipline and make them vassals of the government in the operation of their own business, the idea being to hold the surplus on the farm. «*e * The expedition to Washington seems to have been, on the whole, ill conceived. In a way, the gover- nors rushed into the reach in a manner and at a time when they might better have been at home tending to their own knitting. It was patently an effort to crash the spotlight and if, as seems possible, it swings away from them and leaves them in utter darkness at some. fu- ture time, they have only themselves to blame. Not one of these governors but would give up his post to obtain a seat in the United States Senate. Few of them would hesitate to trade the jobs they have for a seat in con- gress? From the standpoint of pres- tige with the people of their own state, all of them are outranked by one or more men who sit in the na- tional law-making body. ‘Why, then, did they have to rush to the president to tell him what to do? If their ideas were sound, they could have transmitted them to the president through their senators and representatives. ‘Were they so naive as to believe they could exert political pressure upon the president? They should not have been. If force of this kind could be brought against the execu- tive it could be made far more ef- fective by senators and congressmen than by governors. The former vote upon bills which the president does, or does not, want. They operate in @ sphere where their opposition means something definite and tan- gible. ‘When the five governors went to ‘Washington to tell the president just how to go about the task of saving the farmer, North Dakota had two senators and two representatives available for the task. Minnesota had two senators and nine represent- atives. Iowa had two senators and nine representatives. Wisconsin had two senators and 10 representatives and South Dakota had two senators and two representatives. ‘The total is 10 senators and 32 rep- resentatives, all of whom are con- versant with the farm problem. The governors, apparently, regarded them as either lazy men or nitwits, else they would not have hurried so swiftly to the fore. sk * Not the least interesting phase of this whole business is the fact that chief advocates of the theory that farmers should be compelled to do this or that were the so-called “lib- eral” governors. Floyd B. Olson of Minnesota, as ‘spokesman for the group, gave voice to the opinion that the only way to eee , In order to insure this, each farm- er would be given a card authorizing him to sell a given amount of each farm product during a certain period. Every time he took a hog, a can of cream or a steer to market he would have to bring his card with him and the buyer would dutifully punch enough holes in the card to indicate how many units of the commodity hg had purchased. He would be li- censed to do business and if he failed to punch the card, failed to punch it enough times, or otherwise attempt. ed to “fudge,” either on his own ac- count or in collusion with the farmer, his license would be taken away from him, The number of units each farmer would be authorized to sell, the gov- ernors blithely informed the presi- dent, would be determined by check- ing up on his past production. How easy this would be can be guessed at by watching the efforts of the communities which are trying to allocate the benefits from the re- duction in wheat acreage. This, too, 4s based on past production and the farmers who are attempting to work Making the Blue Eagle Feel Right at Home | RINGWORM OF THE FEET Among college and high school stu- dents, patrons of gymnasia and swim- ming pools and bath establishments, a kind of fungus or ringworm infec- tion of the skin of the fect has be-| come extremely prevalent in recent years. In many schools more than half of those using the gymnasium or pool or showers have contracted this foot itch, trichophytosis, dermatophy- tosis, “athlete's foot” or ringworm, as/| it is variously called. ‘The parasite is picked up by walk- ing barefoot on a surface previously contaminated by the particles of in- fected skin dropped from the feet of another person who had the itch, It ig a wise precaution never to touth naked foot to floor in any such situa- tion, or in @ hotel room or aboard a train or boat; always carry your own slippers, even if they are only paper covers. In some gymnasia and swimming; pools the spread of the foot itch has been prevented by a shallow tank or tub of solution of a pound of photog- rapher's hypo (sodium hyposulphite or sodium thiosulphate as it was fac: merly called) in the gallon of water. Each person passing to or from the shower or pool or dressing room steps in the foot bath for a moment. A dusting powder composed of one ounce of sodium hyposulphite mixed with five ounces of boric acid has been found effective in preventing and curing mild cases—it is used in ‘the stockings and in the shoes as a foot powder. An onitment first recommended by a London skin specialist and named after him Whitfield’s onitment, is perhaps the most reliable remedy for foot itch, whether the fungus infec- tion be confined to the feet or spread to other areas, say the hands, or sometimes in the crotch. This is the recipe for Whitfield’s onitment: 5 grains grains 2 drams make one ounce of onitment. Directions: Apply each night for a week to the affected patches of skin. it out in this county can tell you it is @ potent source of headaches. As a practical matter, it would seem that the governors were talking to hear their heads roar or else found themselves in a tight crack where they had to do something, and seized upon this scheme as a way out. If &0, their choice of an exit from this dilemma of their own making is like- ly to be an unhappy one. As people understand it better and better their accomplish results was to make the farmer do thus and so. In other words, a “liberal” governor would as- sume the airs of an autocrat. By so doing he expresses contempt for the intelligence of the average farmer; challenges his honesty of purpose; indicates belief that, if he is to be saved at all, he must be saved against his own will. It would be interesting to know how many farmers agree with those Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show t! trend of thought by other editors.
