The G. O. P. Farm Stand First intimation of what the Republican party will offer in the way of an agricultural program in 1936 is given by Col. Frank Knox, one of the leading candidates for its presiden- tial nomination. In brief, he supports the old McNary- Haugen plan of export debenture, long advo- tated by the west but thrice-vetoed by Repub- lican presidents. If the party adopts such a proposal—and there is more than a chance that it may—it will be a marked change in the tra- Gitional attitude. Supplementing this, of course, would be al tariff on agricultural imports to permit the farmer a fair price in the domestic market. The obvious thing, of course, is that the} Republicans are driven by necessity to espouse something different, whether or not it is bet- ter. It HAS to offer something to agriculture and support of the allotment plan would be a confession of weakness. Whether or not the farmers of the west will favorably receive such a proposal if the Republi- cans make it remains to be seen, but it is doubt- ful. The allotment plan, with all its handicaps and inequalities, has worked at least fairly well. Adoption of the export debenture would be an- other departure into the field of experiment. A much sounder plan would be that advo- cated by Secretary Wallace to the last congress and which is already operative in some respects. That is a combination of the allotment and export debenture plans. It is rather obvious that the allotment system isn’t going to solve the problem for the cotton grower, who pro- duces our greatest export crop. It has helped| but is decidedly not a cure. A combination of the two systems, if such a thing could be worked out, would be beneficial. To a some-| what lesser extent the same thing is true of wheat, in which we in the northwest are vitally interested. ; The difficulty with the export debenture idea, of course, is that it may be strangled from abroad before it gets well started. Other na- tions already have erected high tariff barriers and have enacted laws against dumping. If England, for example, bars our wheat the ex- port debenture idea would become inoperative, no matter how desperately we would like to put it into effect. That we would run into such a situation with regard to nearly all com- modities, with the exceptions of cotton, tobacco and a few minor products, is self-evident to anyone who has watched the development of foreign economic policy. The plea for espousal of the Knox sugges- tion which would be made in the east is that production of an abundance (we call it surplus) would result in lower food prices. Thus the idea might become a political Dr. Jekyl-Mr. Hyde proposition. If there is an idea that such a proposal jwould win favor in the west it probably would be dissipated in the election. After all, aren't higher agricultural prices the thing for which the farmers have been fighting all these years? —_—_________ Its Own Answer Charges that farmers are being regimented under the AAA system are automatically answered by the corn- hog election which is to be held in this state soon. . chind the Scenes in Washington By RODNEY DUTCHER =o Washington, Oct. 14—Only once did congress ever formally recognize the consumer. In case October's chilly days remind you of coal bills to be paid, you'll be interested to know that was in the Guffey coal sta- | bilization act. known locallv as the “Goofy act.” Heeding the charge that coal operators and the United Mine Workers were ganging together to steal the householder’s galluses, congress provided for a “con- sumers’ counsel” who would have his own staff, make independent ipvestigations, issue subpoenas, cross-exam- ine witnesses, démand full access to company books, rine at gouges, and be responsible only to the presi- lent. Well, says you, that sounds pretty good. The only trouble is that no consumers’ counsel has been appointed. The bituminous coal commission was named and organized weeks ago. It is laying ground- work for a new price structure and is working out cost- accounting methods which are all-important in decid- | ing how much you'll be paying for coal. About 20 per cent of the bituminous coal output is burned in homes. No one knows whether the new office will be filled by @ man primarily sympathetic with the domestic consumer or with the industrial consumer. But his job—if he ever is appointed—will be to see that some- ier lower than the sky is the limit when prices are fixed. eee TAFT’S PET STORY Entry of the nine U. 8. supreme court justices on the opening day in their dazzling marble palace re- minded one of the story which the late Chief Justice Taft used to admit (in a whisper) was his favorite. The robed justices always entered the old courtroom in the Capitol through a lane created across the busy corridor by attendants holding plush ropes. There were always a few laymen to gape at this spectacle and on day “a yokel,” as Taft described him, blurted out loudly in his awe: “Gawd! What dignity!” A couple of justices who hadn't smiled for years ac- tually giggled. But on the opening day there were no smiles, affable bows to the huge crowd, or friendly waves to friends. Just pure unadulterated dignity. eee CROOK LIKES HIS JOB It seemed a bit odd that the commander of the newly created supreme court police guard should be named Crook. In fact, Capt. P. H. Crook. But his se- lection had been personally approved by Chief Justice Hughes. He is an amiable, high-grade officer, who hailed originally from Portland, Me., and quit a lieu- tenancy on the Capitol police to take this job. Attached for years to the sergeant-at-arms’ office and the house office building, he became celebrated for his diplomacy in handling congressional drunks. admitted his “legs ached,” from paddling around the huge building since 8 a. m., but sighed happily that the proceedings hadn’t been disturbed by nuts or untoward incidents. In fact, the first day no one even squashed & cigaret butt on the marble floors, which Captain Crook thought was pretty good for such a big crowd. Smoking is officially prohibited except in offices, because you might stain the marble or damage a $5,000 rug or a $77.50 tassel. Just the same, there are plenty of brass cuspidors in some spots and perfectly enormous aluminum sand containers where you throw butts when the cop catches you. A woman spilled a glass of milk on the floor of the over-advertised sandwich-salad-pie cafeteria, but she couldn't help it... . Enormous plans for a private res- taurant for justices were toned down to toast-and-tea proportions when it was learned what birdlike appetites Justices ‘have. eee AND TRICK DOORS, TOO More than 600 sets of keys are used in the supreme court building. The special-occasion flags on the big Poles in front are 40 feet long. And did you hear about the trick doors, which are knobless and fly open when you press a panel? ‘The justices brought their old chairs over, which looked funny because of their assorted shapes, sizes, and degree of stuffing (meaning the chairs, of course). Feature writers seem to have overlooked the six big fountain pools, four of them in inside open courts and all ideal for justices who want to go wading in warmer weather. Court attendants doubt whether associate jus- tices will take advantage of the wading privilege. Like most great occasions, this opening session came to be rather a bore as more than 100 lawyers were slowly sworn into the supreme court bar. The courtroom was jammed with lawyers and one unidentified but obviously irreverent layman was heard to speculate as to how many would leap out the window in full chase should an ambulance go clanging by outside. (Copyright, 1935, NEA Service, Inc.) With Other DITORS i | a= oO Recovery and “Inflation” (New York Times) Industrial recovery in this country has elicited two opposite views of the probable sequel. One is, that this may turn out to be only another of the several “false starts’ Which have occurred since the spring of 1933, each of which ended in more or less discouraging re- action. The other is that, granted the growing spirit of hopefulness and the unprecedented surplus of unused credit, there may at some point arise danger of an “in- flation boom,” in which prices will lose touch with the realities, leading to the familiar collapse. This possi- bility is naturally applied to the stock market as well as to general industry, and Mr. Gay, president of the stock exchange, has given his views of it to the Ameri- can Management association. Mr. Gay affirms that the exchange is concerned over inflation; that “the abnormal money market, with a gigantic volume of excess reserves,” has created a situa- tion in which the speculative public might run to ex- tremes in the driving up of values. He makes, however, no outright prediction of such an occurrence; indeed, he admits in regard to use of credit that, although the re- serve board's index of business activity has risen from 59 per cent of the 1923-25 average in March, 1933, to 86 in July, 1935, nevertheless commercial loans are now actu- ally lower than they were at the earlier date. His point is, however, that a credit fund sufficient under certain conditions to make for inflated prices on the stock ex- change is at least potentially available, and that re- straint of a conceivablé “runaway speculation” would have to be applied, not by the stock exchange authori- ties themselves, but by “sound reserve bank policy and sound treasury policy.” As a general statement, this is perfectly true. Con- sidered as prediction, it is hypothetical. Extravagant speculation for the rise, whether in stocks or industrial products, is usually as much a matter of psychology as of available credit facilities, and today’s financial psy- chology is very different from that of 1927 or 1928. The London Economist, writing of the present American re- covery, recognizes equally the possibilities created by the Reprinted to show what they say. ‘We may or may not agree with them. To the question of whether he favors adoption of another corn-hog- allotment program upon the expira- tion of the present 1935 program the producer will have the opportunity of answering “yes” or “no”.

A year or so in advance it is cus- tomary for each party to begin an- nouncing that the election is won. Why this is done so consistently must remain a mystery to the layman, par-| ticularly as both sides invariably fol- low up their assuring words with re- newed outbursts of campaigning. There is reason to doubt whether) anyone is greatly deceived by the process. Obviously both parties can- not be right, and the reader of the manifestos is left exactly where he was before—free to do his own guess- ing. It must be apparent to even the dullest that a great deal can happen in national politics in a year, or even @ much shorter space of time. It is generally believed that Wil- Yam Jennings Bryan was turned back from the presidency in '96 in the final month of the campaign; and two distinguished Republicans—James G. Blaine and Charles Evans Hughes —are supposed to have forfeited vic- tory within a matter of days before the polls were opened. ~- Yet all the time both sides were claiming it was all over but the shouting. * % # View One-Sided The special hazards of making fore- casts about what will happen in Nov- ember, 1936, also should be easy to see.

It seems pretty well agreed Mr. Roosevelt will be the Democratic candidate, and that he will campaign for the New Deal. Who the Republican candi- date will be nobody pretends to know, nor is there any assurance for what principles he will stand. A third party now appears unlikely to develop, although that possibility alone surely forecloses any hard-and- almost completely on issues growing out of the reverberations of that lit- tle war? Who knows what questions of neutrality may now arise to blanket 1936 and relegate to secondary place all of the domestic issues which seem 80 large today?

No one would deny that a great deal depends on which way the administration turns with respect to relief and un- employment, and spending in general. If only these elements of uncertain- ty were considered the task of mak- ing a dependable prediction would be hard enough. It might possibly be done by a shrewd guesser, but there remain at least three other complica- tions, the outcome of which no man can be certain about. * * * Recovery Trend Vital First of all there is the question what course the present recovery trend will take. Every practical po- liticlan knows it will make a vast dif- ference whether, in the closing months of the campaign, the country is riding the crest of an engulfing j business boom, or sinking deeper into depression. Secondly, there is the question of the supreme court. Its decisions dur- ing the present term may settle issues which have come to have the highest political importance, or may create new issues so fundamental that both sides will have to recast their entire strategy accordingly. Finally, there is the war in Africa, Who would have supposed in 1914, when Austria and Servia quarreled, that the presidential campaign of 1916 in the United States would turn 11 Note in scale. 14 Exists. 15 Half an em. 18 To puff. 20 Flame. 2 ae hl \@ 28 has much to do with making the is-/all set for a Yuma elopement.—Ed- mund Lowe, screen actor.

The obese individual-eats abundantly of rich foods con- taining fat, and his blood stream becomes overloaded with fat, Dr. Kline felter continues, That is not so difficult to question. True, fat folk eat abundantly of food, and the food always contains fat, but the physiological fact is that an excess of fat in the blood is more likely to be found in star- vation than in obesity. body fat of a normal or an obese is carbohydrate food (sugars person starches) and not fat.
