No Cause for Waste Petroleum men, fighting against any sort of control of what has been a terrifically wasteful industry, blazoned forth to the world at their recent national convention in Los Ang- eles their estimates that the nation’s present | min petroleum reserves: are sufficient to last 25 years and that when these are gone and even if no new fields are brought in, coal and oil shales will produce enough more to last 100 years. Which is interesting but not conclusive. fwenty-five years or even 100 years are short spans in the life of a nation, and when they have elapsed what will happen? . The fact that we have been greatly blessed by nature doesn’t excuse wastefulness. Position of the Grange One of the most influential men in America is Louis &. Taber of Columbus, Ohio, for many years president of the National Grange, oldest and largest of America’s three great farm organizations. He speaks largely for the farmers of the east, south nd far west rather than for those of the western grain- @rowing sections, but that only makes his attitude and that of his cohorts in the Grange of greater interest to people in this section. For what we do will be profundly influenced, may even be nullified, by the attitude of farmers elsewhere. On this basis it is interesting to note that Mr. Taber’s speech to the national convention of the Grange on November 14 at Sacramento, California, sounded in spots like a publicity release from the federal department of agriculture. Favoring the AAA and asserting it has been “ably administered,” Taber nevertheless would amend it. He ‘would: 1, Increase farmer control and prevent or eliminate bureaucratic methods. 2, Develop farm co-operatives for produc- tion, distribution and adjustment so they can take over “the machinery of this legislation.” ~ j 3. Amend the act to increase benefits to the family-sized farm, decrease those to large land- | holders and departmentalized farms. { 4. Extend more privileges to the tenant ! farmer. “The landlord has prospered more than the tenant.” 5. Protect the consumers interest to the end that consumption may increase rather than de- crease. | 6. Provide one AAA contract per farm. 7. Reward farmers for growing crops of + which there is a shortage and for the develop- ment of new crops. 8. Prevent contract signers from growing other crops of which there may be a surplus and specify soil-enrichment and erosion preven- tative treatment for all land on which rental payments are made. Other policies advocated are old-age pensions but Opposition to any national sales tax, such as is pro- posed in the Townsend plan; balance the inequalities between farm and city caused by the fact that many boys and girls educated on the farms go to the cities which “enjoy their productive energies”; set idle acres to work by stimulating industrial uses for agricultural products such ss sdybeans, artichokes and slash pine; prohibit the issuance of tax-exempt securities by gov- ernment, local, state or national; demand that “privil- ege, income and luxury bear their full share of the costs of government.” Protection of the land by common-sense forestry nd conservation and the adoption of erosion control measures were urged as important, together with a “tar- fff for all or a tariff for none,” an old battle cry of the Grange. As for constitutional amendments, the Grange was presented as having an open mind but interested in re- quiring that any amendment propose’ be outlawed un- less approved within seven years of its presentation to the states. Guarded approval "was given the government's re- settlement program because Taber deems it necessary to an intelligent land policy, but he warned against the danger of “bringing misfits from village, town and city out into the country.” Rural electrification, another government proposal, is hailed as an unmixed blessing and organized agri- sulture was urged to build its own transmission lines where action seems feasible and private companies. re- fuse to do anything. On the whole, if Taber speaks for the Grange mem- bership, as it may be assumed that he does, the speech Is of real significance as indicating the views of farmers , 'B areas with which we in North Dakota are.unfamiliar: Morals and Economics It is no news that morals and economics always have more domestic tranquillity than at lest with regard to this ict ee es te ime " ge ius it e-jmteresting to the observation of a company that it is discovering fewer ehind the Scenes | in Washington By RODNEY DUTCHER Coughlin, Dr. Townsend, and Talmadge Are F. R.’s Wor- ries in Order Named . . . But Not Such Big Worries Yet . . . Lid’s Off on Pig Raising . . . New AAA Problem Is Canary Seed. é piers ‘Washington, Nov. 15.—With Huey Long out of the picture, President Roosevelt and his political advisers are more or less worried about Father Coughlin, Dr. Townsend, and Gov. Eugene Talmadge of Georgia in tht order named. The administration would hate to have Coughlin fulminating against it in the election campaign. On the other hand, it can't afford to play along with the radio priest’s economic and monetary programs. Although Coughlin couldn’t gracefully support a con- serVative Republican and he isn’t believed likely to go for a third party, he is regarded as unpredictable and hence something to worry about. The Townsendites are considered more of a menace to certain Democratic members of Congress in the west than a threat to the. national ticket. But the adminis- tration will be careful not to step on Dr. Townsend’s toes at the next session, even though it regards his old age pension plan as cockeyed. | oe NO FURORE OVER TALMADGE The Democratic high command observes with pleas- ure that Governor Talmadge, though he has been around the country a bit, isn’t picking up any noteworthy sup- port as a presidential candidate. Its chief worry was that the governor might lick Roosevelt in the Georgia primaries, which would look simply awful, because the president has always claimed Georgia as his “second home” and has been supposed to be tremendously popular there. Talmadge’s plans have been uncertain, but admin- istrationists hope the mammoth “homecoming” celebra- tion for Roosevelt in Georgia will persuade him there’s no nourishment in trying to get the Georgia delegation. The party politicians think they could lick Tal- madge in the Georgia primaries. But they're not quite sure. Roosevelt clings to the idea that Gov. Alf Landon of Kansas will be his political opponent next fall. His ad- ; Visers, in general, aren’t convinced. But they're study- ing upon Landon just the same. eee CANARY SEED NEW WORRY Will the AAA put a processing tax on canary seed? Don't laugh. That’s one of those difficult problems now | etic some of the farm administration’s master Amendments to the AAA act passed by the last Congress added grain sorghum to the list of basic com- modities and require Secretary Wallace to formulate a program for it, since its price is far from parity. Plenty of grain sorghum is used on farms. But of- ficials find that its only commercial use is in manufac- ture of canary seed. So—! eee LID’S OFF ON PIGS Naturally, there's much more concern over the corn- hog program. AAA now plans to increase this year’s low produc- tion of pigs by 30 per cent, which ought to mean lower pork prices by election time., That's about as many pigs as can be produced and means 65,000,006 pigs as compared to a normal five-year base period average piggage of 81,000,000. The drouth cut many pig-raisers down to from 20 to 40 per cent of their individual base average of hogs, while others were able to raise 100 per cent. The idea for remedying this is to give the benefit payments, or the bulk of them. to the low percentage fel- lows and let them raise all the hogs they possibly can, while the hundred per centers and others near their class are limited to their 100 per cent of the five-year base average. z The trouble with the scheme, designed to avert a Permanent shift in the pig population, is that it’s likely not to produce 65,000,000 pigs. (Copyright, 1935, NEA Service, Inc.) With Other: | Ses"'sse they say. We may or j may not agree with them, The Over-All Limitation of Taxes (Minneapolis Tribune) Fourteen states are said by the National Association ;of Real Estate Boards to be actively engaged in cam- jPalgns to impose a blanket limitation on the extent to which real estate can be taxed. Wither these cam- Paigns will achieve the end which they are seeking is uncertain, but the fact remains that eight states al- Teady have enacted legislation of this kind. That other ; States will follow their example is not improbable since the problem which over-all limitation seeks to deal with is common to every state where the general property tax is a major source of revenue. The fact that the in @ reduction of $20,000,000 in the taxes on real estate in these eight states is bound to arouse a renewed inter- est in this experiment in tax reform. Since Minnesota and a number of its neighbors are among the states which are contemplating overall limitation laws, it is well to appreciate just what this step involves. By fixing a maximum level at which real estate can be taxed, these limitation laws effectively re- duce the burden imposed on its class of property. It does not necessarily follow, however, that, governmental expenditures are reduced by this method, What usually happens is that expenditures go on pretty much.as ke- fore, but new means are found for gaising the tax rev- enues. As far as the property owneP is concerned, that may be all well and good, providing new taxes do not neutralize what he has gained through the reduction. It is frequently objected that this is an unscientific approach to the problem of tax reform, and this objec- tion is not without justice. Yet when one seeks to find anything scientific in the present system of taxation he 4s likely to look in vain, for tax systems are largely the Product of political expediency and not of political science. Under these circumstances the real estate owner can hardly be blamed if his answer to the problem is one which seeks to accomplish, by the quickest meth- od possible, a reduction in his own costs, That better methods exist for redistributing the burden of taxation in closer accord with the ability to carry it is hardly to be denied. But unless these methods are speedily em- | ployed, the drastic and frequently unfair blanket tax Hmitation laws will be resorted to more generally in order to force action on tax reform.

The hookworms do not multiply in the body. Many comparatively healthy “carriers” of hookworms are found among the affected population. It is of course possible that in some instances infestation with hook- worm may occur from drinking polluted water or from eating vegetables or other food washed or wet with polluted water. But the common mode of infestation is as described. Foot itch in any district where hookworm disease prevails therefore calls for careful diagnosis by a physician. It is often confused with the comparatively insignificant ringworm or “athlete's foot.” Any remedy which is effective in relieving ringworm of the feet is fortunately @ good remedy for hookworm itch too, Of the 4,439 Haitian peasants examined, 43 per cent were found to harbor ordinary round worms, and 58 per cent had whipworms, which are comparatively harmless parasites. Dr. Therisson says geophagism (eating soil) is frequent among the peasants “from lack of certain dietetic elements.” What elements he does not suggest—I wonder if it is vitamins.
