Safe Course Is Best Two years ago this newspaper, alone among the major publicity agencies of the state, made vigorous protest at the discount then being placed on light-weight wheat. It frankly knew little about the situation then prevailing but its attitude was based on the contentions of those who had watched the marketing of shriveled crops in previous years. This newspaper now knows only a little more about the situation which then prevailed than it did at the time protest was made. HOWEVER, IT DOES KNOW THIS. THE WHEAT PRO- DUCED IN 1985 WAS MILLED AND SOLD AS FLOUR EVEN THOUGH THE MILLERS THEN CLAIMED IT WAS GOOD ONLY FOR FEED. There is every reason to believe that this will be the case this year. The discounting process already has begun. Indi- cations are that the farmer is about to get GYPPED again. Nevertheless, the action of the state industrial commission in deciding to buy light-weight wheat to uphold the market may prove to be a costly and ineffective gesture. One can applaud the spirit which actuates this move and still doubt its wisdom. States other than North Dakota are producing and will produce light-weight wheat. Are we, then, to undertake the job of supporting the market for every farmer regardless of where he lives? It MIGHT work but there is no reason why North Dakota should undertake the job single-handed. s s s Only a few months ago an official of the state government informed The Tribune that the wheat-marketing record of 1935 proved that this newspaper was right in its contention. He was invited to submit that record for examination by the people, but it has never been made available. Neither this newspaper nor the people KNOW what happened that year. And such knowl- edge is imperative if a wise policy is to be formulated for the present emergency. In this connection it would seem proper to invite the Fed- eral Trade Commission, a fact-finding agency, to make imme- diate investigation and bare all the pertinent facts. Meanwhile, it is sincerely to be hoped that the industrial commission and the Bank of North Dakota do not get too deeply into a speculative venture which easily could prove disastrous. The speculators and millers who hammered down the price of our shriveled wheat in 1935 made handsome profits, but that is no assurance the state industrial commission will not suffer a devastating loss in 1937. secs 8 If the same end could be achieved by safer means that means should be tried first. But a precedent to ANY course of action is to inform the people as to all the facts. If it becomes apparent that the grain speculators are mulcting the producer and the fact is generally understood, the effect will be to raise the market price. If the farmer KNOWS his wheat has more value than he can realize from it, he will be loath to sell. In 1935 the price of light-weight wheat did not improve until the following spring. AND IMPARTIAL. The Law and Trailers Auto trailer life has been an easy mark for people who like to dig out the whimsical angles of a new vogue. But an- other good mark for trailer kibitzers are the old laws which just don’t fit in the trailer era. Des Moines physicians attending the birth of a trailer baby recently, had the impression that Iowa law prohibited the birth of a child in a vehicle. So, with the father, they hoisted the trailer onto logs, leaving the wheels dangling. Later it was found that no such law exists. The incident remains, nevertheless, as an example to today’s lawmakers, for some other weird things are happening as trailer tourists run up against archaic regulations. Fortunately most of these situations are the kind that can be laughed off. If modern legislators don’t want to be the target for some of those laughs, they had better start revising the statute books right away. Of course, there is a serious side, since trailers can become a nuisance if they are not properly regulated. And that is something else that municipalities are learning day by day. Millstones of War From the Revolutionary war to the end of May, 1937, the United States government had paid out to war veterans and their dependents a grand total in benefits amounting to 22 bil- hon dollars. For evidence that the total hasn’t by any means stopped rising, there are other figures showing benefit payments of seven and a half million in the first 11 months of the fiscal year. Still receiving compensation are two dependents of veter- ans of the War of 1812, a daughter and a widow. This means that 125 years after that little scuffle with the British, we are still paying for it. . On the same basis, it will be about 100 years before our debt to World War veterans will be nearly liquidated. Thus, around 2037, the nation can really begin to feel free of the millstones strung on its neck by the last war—providing, of course, that another battle for democracy doesn’t pop up in the meantime. ‘The Chinese who invented the fan would never recognise it today, in the left field bleachers swinging @ pop bottle. pe whet Jin‘@arley had in the bag?

It is just possible that some anti- Roosevelt members will be fooled by such talk and, after being defeated for Democratic nomination, turn to the Republicans for @ nomination only to find that there are too many Republicans themselves eager for their party’s nomination. * * * Happy Tax-Exempts Suggestions have popped up from time to time for taxation of union dues and funtis. Seldom if ever have such procomls come oa anyone conspicuous for friendship to organ- ized labor, but they have aroused some curiosity as to just what groups and organizations are immune from fed- eral taxation, and here's the list; Labor, agricultural, horticultural organizations, Mutual savings banks not having capital stock represented by shares. Fraternal beneficiary s0- cleties, orders or associations, oper- ated under a lodge system or for the exclusive benefit of members of the Since the collapse of the president's court-bill fight there has been a good deal of vapid talk about the restora- tion of party harmony, the healing of wounds and the closing of rifts. It is significant, however, that none of this has come from the White House and none from the inter- preters of administration attitude. It is true that Mr, Farley recently made some remarks of a definitely concilia- tory nature with a “no reprisals” flavor. But those best posted on ad- ministration intentions do not take what Mr. Farley said on this subject seriously. It is, they say, just his way of talking—and it is perheps a good way to talk now. None the less, when the time comes, the Roosevelt-Farley federal machine will be found making the return to congress of those states- men consistently opposed to New Deal Policies as difficult as possible. Any- fraternity itself operated und thing else does not make political re ete sense.

And this gets us back to exactly where we were before the death of Senator Robinson and the crumbling of the administration court-packing forces. At that time it was generally conceded that the opposing Democra- tic senators who must run next year were marked for primary defeat by the administration managers. That threat was openly made, and recog- nized New Deal spokesmen repeatedly stated that a “list” was being kept of the offending senators who were to be “driven out of decent politics.” On the very day of Senator Robin- son’s death the governor of Indiana, emerging from a White House confer- ence, declared that the Democratic organization in his state would not renominate Senator Van Nuys, who is one of the eight. For weeks prior to that, the it’s friends insisted that the court-bill struggle marked the beginning of a fight for party control and that if Mr. Roosevelt was to maintain his leadership it was essential to discipline the recal- citrant senators. Clearly, the only way to discipline them was to defeat them in the primaries. No secret was made of the administration purpose before the collapse came.
