T ROOSEVELT FAVORS CRACKING DOWN ON PARTY LOBBYISTS President Favors Far-Reaching Legislation to Reduce Picking of Plums Washington. Jan. 19.—()—Presi- dent Roosevelt was reported reliably Friday to be ready to sanction far- reaching legislation barring law-lob- by activities in Washington by poli- ticians, ‘This became known. as the legisla- | tion took form on capitol hill in the wake of the president's declaration egainst party members coming to Washington to set up law offices.

Bonds presented by the} other banks for approval were as fol- lows: First National $60,000; Dakota National $30,000; Sterling State $15,- (00; and Moffit State $2,500. All bonds were reduced from the previous biennium because of the county's shortage of cash.

Washington, D. C., Jan. 17.—Is the | NRA a success? | That is the eager question every- wody asks you when you return from 9. 5,000-mile swing around the coun- \trv, trying to learn something of the | | recovery program —the most compli- cated, most far-reaching experiment lof American history. To answer so fearful a question in ore word, yes or no, is the height of imprudence. But that is the way |every questioner wants it ayswered. | So, balancing the good with the jpad as I have seen them, I would |nazard an answer—the answer given in the last paragraph of this story. Millions Set to Thinking And this is the way I would review ‘mn my mind the things I have seen, vefore arriving at a conclusion, ‘When the NRA was launched last June, it got off in a cloud of ballyhoo. |T believe that during those first two hectic months of the blanket code thousands signed, borne on the wave | of enthusiasm, who hadn't the faint-! est idea what it was ail about. Nevertheless, literally millions were |put to work and many a skimpy, star-; |vation wage was raised to decency. | And best of all, tens of millions of Americans were set to think- ing. They were made to realize that their business, their job, de- pends on the general welfare of all. You hear this discussed wherever |men gather —the smoking-car story \laterally has been replaced by the economic forum. And when you get millions of American brains concen- trated on finding a solution to our ;common problems instead of on the | stock market and the farmer's daugh- ter, you've done something. The Chiseling Begins : But when the first fine frenzy died, the chiseling began. I believe chisel- ing has been much more widespread than optimistic compliance board re- ports indicate. But this is a guess, for no one knows and no one ever will know how much chiseling there has been under the blanket code. T have been able to find no evi- dence of a single firm actually forced out of business by in- creased costs under any code. Many employers protested that they could not pay such wages and continue business. Though I inquired in every town I visited, 1 could not find one who actually gave up. The Dun and Bradstreet fig- ures for 1933 on business failures seem to bear this out—they run for 1933 about half of those in 1932, Neither have I been able to find any evidence that refusing to co- ;Operate in the Blue Eagle drive led to the “economic death” threatened to General Johnson, ‘The public, in my opinion, largely refused to back up the Eagle if this meant spending a few cents more in patronizing an Eagle establishment. Ford, the outstanding rebel against | the Blue Eagle, sold more cars in De- |cember than for years, The Codes I believe thousands will seize the end of their presidential agreement (Dec, 31 last.) as a chance to duck out of their responsibilities under the No one can do any- thing about that. It is their right. But even this won't matter much. For the permanent codes are being | adopted so rast that by the time com- |vliance under the blanket code dwin- |dles to almost nothing, as it will, in- | dustries will be so completely covered | by permanent codes that there will be no letdown, and the gap will be | bridged without a murmur. The permanent codes are a horse ‘of another color. I believe that here j the benefits are so great and so un- questionable that many of them will remain after the NRA in its present form is forgotten, for these codes have ,ehanged the entire face of American | ousiness. | The evidence here seems beyond | question, Oil and lumber conserva- | tion, dreams of three decades, became {realities overnight by agreements among producers to stop wasting nat- ural resources and cease profitless, throat-cutting competition. Steel and textiles like their codes, and a stabil- ‘ty of employment never known be- fore now is seen in those industries.

It has been so under the codes adopted thus far, and it should NRA Is Successful, | Critic Says After Nation-Wide Study \buy the farmers’ products and thus igoes ahead until overhanging carry- | Ous section 7 of the Recovery Act is the center of controversy. It contains seeds that well may change the whole future of labor in this country. In general, section 7A provides to all employes freedom to join or not to join any kind of or- ganization or union they choose, with- out prejudice to their jobs. There is not the slightest question that both capital and labor have abus- ed this section. There are unquestion- ed cases in which employers have in- fluenced, by threats or otherwise, their employes. Union organizers have also abused it, telling employes they must join a union to get the benefits of the Re- covery Act, sometimes threatening them if they did not join their par- ticular union. Every complaint I hear from Jabor leaders that they were get- ting the short end of the NRA stick was at least balanced by equally bitter complaints of em- ployers that the government had handed over their businesses, lock, stock, and barrel, to labor. The Farmers i The agricultural act benefits have pleased farmers almost in exact pro- Portion to the amount of money re- ceived. In the south, where the cot- ton money was distributed liberally and promptly, they were crazy about it. As you move north, where the gravy was not quite so thick and was served later, it was less popular. The agricultural problem runs straight on a problem just like “Which came first, the hen or the egg?” Ev- ery farm leader will tell you that if the) farmer has purchasing power first, then he will buy the city’s products and industrial prosperity follows. Labor leaders insist that only when the city worker first has money can he i keep up their price. It would seem to me that this team couble harness. What happened of course, was that the NRA put the in- dustrial horse a jump ahead, and the wagon of advancing industrial prices gave the farm horse a bad bumping. Up to now, it seems to me that cut- ting the acreage in cotton, wheat, and to a less extent in corn and tobacco, has been pretty successful. If this overs are removed, then we shall see what we shall see. That will be a new problem, The Money Problem ‘The money question reveals a trust in the president that is astonishing and even a little pathetic. I believe the average man, stuffed to the ears with harangues pro and con on dollar devaluation, silver, stabilization, and the gold standard, largely has aban- doned any effort to make anything of it, and simply puts his faith in Presi- dent Roosevelt that he will not allow us to take the awful slide into the abyss of paper money inflation. I think the number who conscious- ly want paper money inflation is small. Even among bankers, the instinct to “trust the president” is widespread. While I know there are a few bank- ers (as in Boston) who demand a quick and uncompromising return to the old gold standard, I believe the majority of bankers and business men are re- signed to a devaluation as great as 50 per cent if some degree of stabiliza- tion could be had with it.

One business man in Detroit told me “he could not be re-elected tomorrow.” That stood out, unique, I was impressed by the trust in Franklin D.

But I be- lieve there is less right now than there was in 1932 when, don't forget, 15,- 000,000 people voted for Hoover.

The treaty was still before the sen- ate, Senator Shipstead (F-L-Minn) Speaking in its favor. The war department report show- ed its estimate was based on a calcu- lation that the export and import tonnage over the seaway annually would amount to 13,000,000 tons. The net cost to the United States was estimated by the department at $182,726,250, assuming the New York Power project would carry $89,726,- 180 as its share of the cost. Completion of the seaway, said the report, would enable 70 per ceri of the world’s ocean freight cargo ton- nage to reach the Great Lakes and 8t.
