The Real Audience Few things call to the public's at- tention the obvious weaknesses of the American judicial system more direct- jy than the Hauptmann trial at Flemington, N. J. Tt is only natural that people, read- ing the evidence as printed in the newspapers or recited over the radio, should come to an independent judg- ment of their own as to the guilt or innocence of the accused. For what- ever it is worth, it is noteworthy that ® large number seem to feel that Hauptmann is guilty. Many of these same individuals, however, have @ feeling that the man is not receiving ® fair trial. ‘They base this opinion on a natural dislike for the pyrotechnics which mark every American trial of this nature and which have been more Pronounced at Flemington than in most other cases, Their idea is that not only is a man’s life at stake but that the workings of American jus- tice, @ far more important matter in the long run, are being affected and possibly distorted. They resent the possibility that the man may be denied a fair trial by reason of pas- sion or prejudice roused against him, even though they are convinced that the evidence already introduced in- dicates his guilt. Such a view is perfectly natural. Anyone with @ proper respect for es- sential justice dislikes the idea that the sharpness or skill of a prosecu- tor or of a defense attorney should determine whether or not # man is held guilty or innocent of crime. They suspect, in many cases right- ly, that the maneuvers of the attor- neys have more to do with the final verdict than the evidence in the case. All of which might constitute an indictment of the American jury sys- tem were it not for the fact that the jury system is the only safeguard justice possesses in such cases. The jury at Flemington apparently is com- posed of persons with normal training and sound intelligence. Their job is to weigh the evdence and reach a ver- dict. Tt is to be hoped that they will see through any shams or pretensions of either the prosecution or the de- dense and fulfill their oaths as jurors Just as effectively as outside com- mentators feel they could do under similar circumstances, After all, it is just as well that the average citizen and not the gentle- men of the legal fraternity are charged with this responsibility. The lawyers put on the show but the ef- fective audience is limited to 12 per- sons, In so far as the outcome of the ‘trial is concerned, they are the only sudience which means anything, this despite the fact that citizens through- out the nation are following the trial as closely as the facilities available to them permit. ‘An NRA For Agriculture? A year or 20 ago when, presumably, the NRA was going to create a new for everyone coming under its Provisions, much was heard in this and other rural areas about such a set-up for agriculture. Politicians, largely those opposed to the various alphabetical plans, de- manded that agriculture also have the benefits of such a law. They seemed to regard it as a mysterious Process which would make everybody happy, a magic symbol which would restore prosperity. + Failure of the NRA to do all of (he Bismarck Tribune|™* tor the chase National Bank ‘00lthe New Deal magazines, Says Mr. of New York, says of the AAA: “But this plan again did not think the thing (the farm prob- lem) through. Granted its suc- cess, granted the retirement of the land, granted the reduction of the crop to what we can con- sume in this country, there still tion’s biggest private bank and as such may be classed as an ally of big business, so turn to the comments of Edward Angly, writing on the cot- ton situation for “Today,” edited by Raymond Moley and the newest of Angly: “Justified complaints may be expressed on behalf of the ten- ants, the share croppers and the farm hands who found their la- bor no longer needed after the landlords agreed to withdraw 15,000,000 acres (of cotton land) from cultivation. There is even more to be said for the 12 or 15 men who normally handle each cotton bale during its journey from farmer to spinner. Their Prosperity depends, not on the Price of raw cotton, but on the quantity moving in the streams of trade.” Letters to the editor of The Tribune show that our own farm population is assaying this same question. Those occasional references to the difficul- ties of young farmers in getting jobs or establishing themselves on rented property are significant. With re- duced acres under cultivation there will be less demand for labor, fewer Persons in the fields. The fact is that the AAA was estabilshed to meet the problems of the farm owner and it was only right that he be given first consideration. Here in North Dakota most persons still retain an equity in their farms or have hopes of doing 60. But the fact that there is less ing ‘We'll leave the symptoms plaints for patients to recite to their | booklet “Guide to own doctor. But for example pose @ patient work to be done is inescapable. The effect of that reduction on the vo- lume of employment which springs directly from farm production also must be reckoned with. Granted anything like normal crops, the problems of the farm own- er seem well on the way to solution, but a considerable element of our tural population will need additional readjustment. It would not be sur- prising if any new proposals for an| agricultural NRA stressed such things | as working hours for farm hands and demanded that every farmer tilling a given number of acres hire a mini- mum number of workers, just as has been the case with industry under the NRA. .

By combining the promise of federal grants with the threat of punitive taxation, the states will be compelled to set up the scheme on a national pattern. The scheme itself will provide for pensions of perhaps ‘$40 @ month to all the indigent above the age of sixty-five and unemploy- ment benefits, presumably limited to some relatively short period—say four or five months—for all others. Both sorts of payments will be met from funds set up through equal contribu- tions from employers and employes, |Job without governmental grants, and only|!¥ requires action by states. those now employed and under the age of sixty-five will be covered by this part of the scheme.
