Editor, Tribune: T have noticed a number of articles in your paper concerning | various questions of the day and having given them due regard from all points of view, I would like to comment on some of them. It seems that about two-thirds of the members of the supreme court have become feeble minded in their old age and do not remember what the constitution was really written for. They deem it as a hard and fast rule governing everything. It was written not.as a ruling force but rather as a guide for Americanism. | Allowing the farmer his due share of his produce is only fair and just. That portion of the population of the | U, 8, engaged in agriculture has never known fair exchange. A farmer tak- ing wheat to a mill is given back white flour. If he wants his share of the other parts of the wheat he has to pay an exorbitant price for them. A system of fair exchange must be established or everyone will be plod- ding in the same furrow a decade from now as he is at present. Yours truly, | JAMES E. CARTER. | P. S—Three cheers for M.

I hate: joke, THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1936 London Calls what is wrong in demanding a refund, if the big processors get theirs? ‘The Tribune was right in a recent editorial when it declared the su- preme court strained at a gnat and swallowed @ camel in its decision. Not only that, but we must remember that in nearly every decision affect- ing the rights of the people as against property, the decision has been against the people. The constitution guarantees the people the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, yet the highest court of the land denies the farmers the right to a parity price on that portion of their products con- sumed in the domestic market while at the same time the farmer is forced to pay @ high industrial tariff for the benefit of industry. It is high time the people took steps to curb the power of the supreme court, whereby nine ancient men can overthrow laws enacted by a congress representing all the people and signed by their president. In other words, instead of being governed by those we) ~ elect, we are governed by nine men who are appointed to life positions on the highest court in the land by for- mer presidents, many of whom have since been repudiated by the people. ‘No matter how much beneficial leg- islation is enacted, it will do the peo- ple little good as long as these nine men have the power they possess to- day. By their decision, they have not only deprived the farmer of a fair re- turn for his labor, they have caused a huge burden of debt to be placed upon the shoulders of the present generation and for generations still to come, and they have made a present of millions of dollars to the big proc- essors, who evidently have no inten- tion of returning a penny to the turn in ‘a processing tax, therefore,|These nine men, wise and old and] n gray, And millions of us must agree To live and die by their decree. FLORENCE IMES BORNER. Editor's Note: The Tribune, believer though it is in equality for agriculture, does not share the opinion that the power of the supreme court should be abridged. To do so would be to scrap the constitu- tion, That document, is infinitely too valuable for such treatment. The better and constitutional way would be to revise our char- ter of liberties to permit such action as the people deem necessary. That has been the method used 21 times in the history of this country and it hag been success- ful. If no way to aid agriculture can be found WITHIN the con- stitution it will be time enough to move for amendment. Meanwhile, as long as the constitution reads as it does, let us respect and sup- port it. We can best serve agri- culture in that way. “A FARMER” EXPLAINS Richardton, N. D. January 18th, 1936. Editor, Tribune: I can not help but feel that M. R. St. Marie, (I presume a man) saw red when he saw the “incision” and could then no longer see or read clearly. Certainly he did not have to read be- tween the lines to ascertain that I had no special liking for the AAA after I had called it a cancer. The theme of my letter was the ob- jection to burdening all benefit of a group and with this my friend appears to agree. He admits the shortcomings of the tariff laws in for the Lillian Gish, who has been seen infrequently on the Broadway stages in recent years, is pictured as she sailed from New York for London, where she ts scheduled to appear in a new the should know that whatever ma- chinery he buys is too high priced, in- cluding lumber. Try once and get your prices set on farm products the same as industry by the U. 8. trade board. That would be fair would it not? Then where is the farmer having ‘any special favor by the government? Those of the U. 8, supreme court judges hold the AAA constitutional. Industry, when it is stocked up, shuts down until the stocks are sold out to supply the demand: Their ex- penses then cease. Now, Mr. “A Farmer” have you got that privilege? Can you shut down feeding your hogs, chickens, cows and horses? Would the elves come and donate this do- mestic care? Or are you a tractor All four-flushers and hypocrites. Have your correspondents add to this.

Editor, Tribune: On January 11, 1936, a sorrowing family and loving friends laid the mortal remains of Patrick Sullivan to Test in St. Mary’s cemetery, but the effects of his faithful, honest, sturdy life will be felt for years to come and this community is richer and better for his having lived among us. It is @ great loss to have a man of Mr. Sullivan's stamp go from our midst, and his noble character and high moral standard will not soon be for- gotten. . After all, the success or failure of life is not to be measured by the amount of gold that we have gath- ered together, or failed to gather, or the office or station we may happen to occupy. The real test by which a man must be judged is the good or evil that he may have done to others. To this test Mr. Sullivan measured up and to spare. He was a friend worth hav- ing and he would share his last dol- lar with a friend or neighbor. It seemed to be natural with him to be kind and considerate to others. His home life was ideal; love and peace and harmony all mingled together. His warm smile and good fellowship were second nature to him. He was a farmer and all of his life had been spent in the open. He saw his Cre- ator in the wonders of the skies and fields. As a great philosopher has said “Patriotism and love of human- ity are born in the woods and fields —by lakes and streams—by crags and Plains.” He had learned the wisdom of the seasons; the warmth of the » the contentment of the rains, the love of ‘the early dawn. His life was regular and orderly; his courage and deep faith in God were immeasurable. Whether crops grew or not he never despaired. His great faith and his confidence in his fellow man always sustained him. farmer, who can shut down. I can’t, as I am the old style farmer. Did the farm board created under the former administration not advo- cate wheat production control? What did we farmers get out of those five hundred million dollars? I would now urge that congress not retreat but amend the constitution so as to give it the power to set a price on wheat and control the mar- keting of wheat. Production of wheat would that way be controlled by the farmer himself. Yours truly, JULIUS MEYER., TOO MUCH POWER Baldwin, N. D., Jan. 20, 1936, Editor, Tribune: The declaring of the AAA as un- constitutional by the supreme court and the reason given for that decision make us wonder if the same ruling would not apply to the tariff, which certainly taxes one class—the agri- cultural class— for the benefit of an- other class, the industrial class. Any one who thinks he can gain votes for his political party by telling the farmers they will be better off without the AAA is going to be dis- appointed. It is too much like the butterfly beside the road preaching contentment to the toad beneath the harrow. Contentment! That is all the farmers have ever heard from those opposing their interests. “Be content, and you shall be happy.” But, for once, contentment has ceased to be a virtue. Farmers have found their political power and they are going to use it in behalf of their friends and against their enemies. And let no one imagine the destruc- tion of the AAA will cause loss of faith in President Roosevelt by the farmers. Instead, it is going to cement the bonds existing between them still closer. In President Roose- velt the farmers have found a friend, one who sympathizes with their prob- lems—but does not stop there. He has done and is still doing all he can to aid them and to make their lives happier. % We believe this is the one big rea- people who actually paid the tax. “Unconstitutional,” they say, share. “Unconstitutional,” they say When Man has found a better way, Through years of sorrow and despair The good things of the world to only benefiting others. I went a little further by saying the AAA had the same shortcomings. He also refers to the 3c postage rate for the same rea- son, and I can agree with him on that ‘score, too.

He mentions that the tariff alone would not do for the farmer what the AAA did. I admit the present tariff setup will not, but \believe that a fair one would. It will ;probably be a surprise to many to know- that during the first 6 months of 1935 this country imported items to the extent of three - quarters of a bil- lion dollars derived from the soil of other nations. This is probably more than the AAA distributed in the 6 months. The AAA was justified for two rea- sons, one to pay the farmer a bonds for the food, etc. that he had fur- nished the consumer below cost for many a year and because it attracted attention to the unfairness of our tariffs. It would have pleased me if the supreme court had also wiped all tariff laws off the record like it did. the AAA, We could have then enacted a tariff protection that would have protected all. +s The AAA did not produce any new wealth. Every dollar paid to us and every dollar that we got more for our products, because of less production, was paid out of the consumers pocket.

Editor, Tribune: In your daily of Jan. 11, in the “People’s Forum,” the writer of that article did not have nerve enough to sign his real name, but signed “A Farmer.’ I don't believe he is an actual farmer. “A Farmer” says, “Give us the; game protection that industry has and we will fight our own battles without government help. We expect no special favor.” I give “A Farmer” credit with all my heart for those remarks, but-I am sorry to say that he does not know that industry has a special protection. We find a law on the U. &, statute books that protects it. Industry, whenever it feels the price on its goods is too low, appears before the U. 8. trade board and make its spiel for higher prices on goods it manu- factures. And if “A Farmer” is a real farmer | CARROTS {one C7" 7 TEXAS RADISHES, NAVEL ORANGES WINESAP APPLES, LAYER CAKE to take the place of the AAA and know that faith is justified. We believe, however, that monies held in escrow, together with all sums received as processing taxes, should not be returned to the processors be- cause everyone knows the consumer and the farmer paid this tax through increased prices for what they bought and decreased prices for what they sold—at least the one excuse given for higher meat and flour prices was the processing tax. And now, the courts would return the whole sum to the processors, making them a pres- ent of millions of dollars and adding more and more taxes to the burden already shouldered by the people. Just the other day one judge, in turning back these taxes to big in- terests facetiously remarked that pretty soon the man who bought the bacon would demand a refund of a part of what he paid. And why not? The ultimate con- sumer was constantly being told he would not have to pay so much for his, bacon and other pork products but for the AAA processing tax.
