Price Rise Prospect Every month banks and brokerage houses estimate the health and take the temperature of business, then issue bul- letins telling all about it. Learned economists ponder factors and trends and then come up with weighty forecasts as to the immediate future. They are not always right. In fact anyone more than six years old can remember when they were almost habitually wrong. Yet it is comforting to know that they all agree on the immediate outlook. It is good. Business has held up well during the summer, partly be- cause manufacturers were working on backlog orders. Earlier in the year many persons were afraid of sharp price increases and ordered well ahead of their requirements. The result is larger stocks carried by jobbers, wholesalers and retailers. On this basis, a little lull can be expected unless consumer demand picks up but the prospect is that such a forward surge already is beginning. It is coming from the farm country, much of which har- vested the best crop in years for sale at relatively good prices. Farmers have plenty of debts to pay but they also need many things and business is ready to meet the demand. They rejoice because AMERICA’S BIGGEST CUSTOMER IS BACK IN THE MARKET. During the summer, steel production has been held at rela- tively high levels by orders from farm machinery firms. The farmer has played a leading—if not dominant—part in sustain- ing other manufacturing lines. A leading bank, however, sounds a warning which farmers hope business will heed. It says: “Provided the products the farmer buys are not advanced in price too rapidly, the farmer gains and has his purchasing power increased and the urban worker also gains—through the lower cost of food.” This hints at the close connection between farm and city : prosperity and it comes in good season. If business starts raising prices simply because the farmer has no control over the market on which he buys, it will find that the farmer has plenty of help from other consumers. The farmer is the nation’s greatest producer but he also is the greatest consumer and as such he stands in the same rela- tion to industry as do other workers. It is sincerely to be hoped that not only do prices not go up “too rapidly” but that they do not go up at all. Dairy Type Alfalfa Suggestion by County Agent H. O. Putnam that farmers lose no opportunity to store up hay and roughage for future use was received by The Tribune coincident with the weekly Behind Scenes Washington REPUBLICANS MUST FIND LEAD- ER TRUSTED BY RANK AND FILE, CLAIMS LODGE Editor's Note: Senator Henry Cabot. Lodge of Massachusetts at 35 is the youngest Republican sen- ator and recently was the only Republican senator to vote for the wage-hour bill. He has long been interested in labor and industry. Carefully, with restraint, he analyzes the future of the nation. By SENATOR HENRY CABOT LODGE (Written Exclusively for The 1ribune and NEA Service, Inc.) The Republicans are the opposition. And as dissatisfaction develops with the methods and failures of the New Deal, the Republican party will be the only place for dissatisfied voters to go. : To regain first the confidence of the people and then control of the government, the Republican party must do several things. It must develop a genuine and real- istic 20th century Republicanism. It must have @ personnel at its na- tional conventions which will include actual representation of the rank and file of the people. If it doesn’t, who- ever is nominated for president by the next convention will be discredit- ed from the start. This policy also must be carried out in the states and congressional districts. 2 This country no longer votes for parties. It votes for men—or women. Platforms: usually are about the same. The Re- publican platform last year prom- ised at least as much to labor, for instance, as did the Democra- tic platform. And the Re- publican party can get the vote of the working man, which it conspicuously failed to get in the last election, if it puts up the candidate who will convince labor of his sincerity. x * * Labor Is Non-Partisan Labor continues to be non-partisan. There is no doubt that a larger Re- publican congressional contingent wiil be elected in: 1938 than in 1936 and it is reasonable to suspect that some of them will have labor svpport. Personally, I don’t make routine speeches damning the New Deal. I have no quarrel with. its larger aims, but I do insist that Roosevelt and the Democratic congresses have nov achieved results. , ° The president in the recent ses- People. ‘The wage and hour legislation, for which I was glad to record my vote, could have passed easily if the presi- dent, early in the session, had not plete mastery over the supreme court and club congress into abetting his ana eee Nothing Has Been Done Everyone knows that our system of unemployment relief needs overhaul- ing and reform, that it could be more honest and more just. Alfalfa market review, issued by the U. S. Department of Agri- culture at Kansas City. : While Putnam, quite righly, was pointing out that the lessons of the last few years should not be forgotten, the gov- ernment was noting an increase of $1 a ton in the price of DAIRY TYPES of alfalfa hay. The top figure in that area Now is $18. The contrast thus suggested is important to the future of this area. Our farmers are glad to have ANY kind of hay which will keep an animal alive but that fact should not blind us to the desirability of having BETTER feed. Most persons in this area probably did not know that alfalfa hay is classified as to its usefulness, just as other prod- ucts are classified. Certainly the editor of The Tribune did not know it.

There is no telling how many farm animals died last winter because of intestinal obstruction due to’ poor feed, but the number unquestionably is large. One thing we should strive for in this area is more of the BEST TYPE of hay. When we get it milk and beef production in'this area will be as cheap as that recorded anywhere. And because of the’northern climate the quality will be better. First Saxophone Soloist Little note was taken in the United States of the death re- cently of America’s first saxophone soloist, Mrs. Julia A. Lam- bertson, who died in Maine. » ' It will surprise many, who think of the saxophone in the game breath with the shuddering, moaning jazz mania of the ‘war days and early 1920's, to learn that the saxophone was in- vented in 1846 in France. The inventor was Adolphe Sax, a Ger- man, and it is probably safe enough to assume he hardly had the St. Louis Blues in mind at the time. As a matter of fact, the saxoplione once rose to serious heights, both Debussy and Richard Strauss composing music especially for the instrument. All that, however, doesn’t dim the luster of Mrs. Lambert- son’s courage, nor detract from Maine's traditional fortitude. Mrs. Lambertson not only played the first saxophone solo, but she lived to be 72. ; fest EEE He ft leading down to the boat from an- other part of the wood were plain, evidentlf made by a man wearing @ good-sized outing shoe.
