A. A. For the Roosevelt administration did not present both sides of the ar- | ument to the corn-hog farmers, but | sonages. Their information is that he is bent on building up a balance of power at the next convention for two purposes: &) To insist that certain principles be included in the platform, and (b) to see that some one like Senator Borah does not get the nomi- nation. The big boys seem to feel certain that this is the situation, because it fits in with what they know. For instance, they have checked merely asked whether they would | around the country on Mr. Hoover's continue to favor crop control and | possibilities for their own information. & subsidy. The consumers who have to pay, in the cost of living, higher prices for foodstuffs were not asked to vote. None of the arguments that might be made on the faulty economics of the A. A. A’s policies was presented to the corn-hog farmer. It was a! one-sided election among a group who were really being asked whether thcy would like to have a better price for their product by limiting the output of their farms and making their products relatively scarce. A. A. A. Substitute for Trust. | ‘When steel manufacturers used to get together and try to agree among themselves on limitation of produc-| tion and prices the Government used | to call it a trust and apply the anti- | trust laws. But farm organizations | of all kinds are exempt from the op- | eration of anti-t laws and the A A. A is really a substitute for the old-fashioned trust or monopoly, but | with governmental control, Tt is likely that if a referendum were | held among the producers of silver in Nevada and Utah. and if in such an election they were asked whether | they would agree to make silver scarce 80 as to boost the price, they would answer in an overwhelming affirm: tive. As a matter of fact, the Go ernment is doing that very thing, as » congressional pressure compels the| to take silver off the hands | ers in such large quan- | tities annu: as to elevate the price. | Perhaps a parallel would be to have & referendum among all the industries | protected by a tariff and asking them whether, in exchange for the tariff protection. they would agree to limit their product so the price could go| much higher than the tariff wall and g0 their profits could be materially increased. It is hardly likely there would be votes cast in opposition. except by the few who took the trouble to analyze the proposal and discover that in the lonz run the policy would be disastrous to the industries them- gelves. Minorities The spectacle of a Government- managed election among the members of a minority group. whose decision now is to affect the prices paid by the majority. is still too novel for widespread ap tion of its impli- cations. Minority by minority, the New Deal offers money benefits in the form of processing taxes or sub- | sidies and the result is to build up a cumulative weapon of blocs for the presidential elections. Minorities swing national elections because they move from one party to the other, while the straight ticket voters remain in- different. | If each powerful minority group is to be appealed to on grounds of direct benefit to it with funds either taken out of general taxation or by levying @ssessments on the cost of living, the chaotic consequences will hardly be called “planned economy” and it will be difficult for any opposition polit- ical party to win in the near future on the simple truths that century-old experience has proved. It only means that New Deal economy may have to run its full course. bringing in its wake the friction that has always @risen between classes and the con- fusion that has always come from Government control of production and price fixing, no matter where it has been tried in human history. President Wilson used to say that Are Benefited. i ‘They are convinced that if he goes =i} into the market for Southern delegates | (who come high these days), his maximum possible strength at the convention would be 200 delegates. If he does not enter that expensive market, he will be far weaker. In either event, he can be a factor, but not a nominee. Michigan to Be Uninstructed. Some of the delegations to the con- vention are already as good as pledged, although the convention is eight months away. You may mark off New York for Snell; Illinois prepon- derantly for Knox; Kansas for Lnn-1 don, and (mark you well), Michigan | uninstructed. This does not mean Senator Vandenberg of Michigan has been eliminated. On the contrary, pri- vate bidders for his stock have been bullish lately. They figure that if the convention devolves into a scrap between Senator Borah and the rest of the Republi- can world at large Mr. Vandenberg will have made mno enemies, particularly not in Senator Borah's camp. New Dealers are toving backstage | with a sharp new housing idea. It was put forward in one of those little blue books (third volume) recently prepared by Prof. Moley's friend, Allie Freed. He appears to be backed in this instance by American Rolling Mills, Firestone Tire, Pittsburgh Plate Glass, Westinghouse and several oth- erse equally important. 4; Per Cent Is Plan. This third blue book volume has' been submitted confidentially to lead- ing officials, “counseling” Government | backing for a privately built, low- cost ($3,000) housing program, based on 4!, per cent mortgages, 10 per cent down, with a 90 per cent Gov- ernment guarantee for which only | one-quarter of 1 per cent would be charged. “ It may give the 6 per cent mort- | gage bankers the jitters to con- template such a reduction in interest and down payments, but at least two big New Dealers are already behind the project. You may hear much more of this | shortly. Miscellaneous tax receipts have been | sliding for 60 days in the Treasury daily statements. As a result, stories have gained wide circulation that business is easing up. A couple of Congressmen have hinted as much publicly. The truth.seems to be most exactly opposite. If you dig into it, you will find that nearly every item of excise taxa- tion has increased. The decrease in the total is due to two factors—a sharp decrease in capital stocks tax receipts and the repeal of the bank check tax. The decrease in capital stocks taxes is due to a new regulation permitting delay in payments. In the end they will probably amount to more than last year.

Brookings Shows Fallacies. Even granting tha¢ farm income should be increased, that farm pur- chasing power when raised helps the industrial areas, there is ample proof that higher prices mean less con- sumption of goods and more con- sumer resistance. Although not of- fering a panacea by any means, the Brookings Institution in its latest re- port by Harold G. Moulton and his staff, made after an exhaustive eco- nomic research, points out the fal- lacies of limiting production and raising prices and the study argues that industrial prices should conie down and will come down to meet the farm level when once ccmpeti- tion is stimulated and efficiency really applied. Since it is difficult to keep on en- larging money wage incomes, . the Brookings' report argues for an in- creased purchasing power for the farmer and the city worker through reduction in the cost of the articles bought by them. This is another way of achieveing parity. To those who ask how this can be obtdined without Government con- trol of prices, the answer is that prices find their most efficient level when Government restrictions and interferences are removed and arbi- trary barriers to exchange of goods 'in the home market are surmounted by natural factors of competition and production.

OAKLAND, Ill, October 28 (#).— Mr. and ‘Mrs. Henry Wendell—called to Oakland from their home in Brock- ton because of the death of the wom- an's father—were killed yesterday when their car was struck by a Nickel Plate passenger train at a grade crossing. pre-season lull. If the number of cars now being sold around here is any indication, Government revenues from this source will be far more than | estimated before the end of the year. | One local dealer has sold 50 per cent é ‘ t as many cars during the last three weeks as during the whole of last year. The rest of the excise taxes are | running generally about 10 to 15 per cent above last year, which is exactly how business is running. President Roosevelt looked much better after his vacation. He was not | | only bronzed, but it appeared that he | had been required to let his belt out & notch or two. More obvious was | the improvement in his disposition. He had been rather sharp and sar- | castic on occasions before he began | his vacation. : Note: The President got all the fish-catching publicity during his trip by sending his 134-pound sail- fish to the museum. Unheralded and unnoticed was the fact that his bodyguard, Gus Gennerich, caught one 16 pounds heavier, which will not be mounted in a museum. New Deal politicos will confess off the record that they are very fidgety about Georgia. That is what is be- hind arrangements now being made for Mr. Roosevelt to deliver an ad- dress there around Thanksgiving. The site in mind is Tech Stadium, at Atlanta, which is under Gov. T madge's nose. Their apprehensions have been less- ened by private word from a most influential Georgia leader that he can “take” (his word) Talmadge any time | the New Deal wants him.

LIBERALS ATTACK BALDWIN FORCES Lloyd George Joins in As- sault as Parliamentary Campaign Opens. By the Associated Press. LONDON, October 28 —Parliament- ary candidates carried their arguments to the countryside today in the first lap of the general election campaign. Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin and Anthony Eden, minister for League of Nations affairs, set the pace in their first platform speeches in the afternoon. Liberals laid down barrages against what they called government’s “pars- ley promises.” Lleyd George's “Coun- cil of Peace Reconstruction” joined in the attack. The prime minister left Downing street for Wolverhampton, 125 miles from London, to open the platform campaign. At the same time Eden, the “White Knight of Geneva,” confronted by a determined candidate for his seat, went to Coventry to defend the gov- ernment and his own policies in di- recting League of Nations sanctions against Italy. The opposition already has launched its attack. Herbert Morrison, secre- tary of the London Labor party, de- clared last night: “The record of this warrants no faith in it. friendship for the League is con- cerned, it is common knowledge all along they did their best to wreck the disarmament conference. “The Labor party will make it abundantly clear during this campaign that a vote given for this government is a vote for a policy which leads to war."

By the Assoctated Press. ANNAPOLIS, Md. October 28— Charles Brown, alias Woodtrap, 46- year-old colored groom, went on trial before a jury and Judge Linwood L.| Clark, in the Anne Arundel County Court today charged with cruelty to an animal, as the result of an at-| tempt to administer a sedative drug to | & race horse at the Laurel track on | October 17. Brown was arrested Tuesday at the track following an investigation into the attempt to administer a drug to the horse Deduce, owned by Mrs. H. L. Unghetta. Deduce was a favorite in the fifth race to be run at the track the following afternoon. The colored employe was held in $1,000 bond for court action. Morton J. Sacks, a watchman at the stables, testified that he heard a noise at one of the stalls and upon investigation found the door partially open on the stall occupied by Deduce. He identified Brown as the man who was hiding behind the door and who ran away after a flashlight had been turned upon him. George McDonald, foreman for the stables, testified that he was roused by the watchman and found a quan- tity of a drug in powder form in the stall. He said one of his employes found a capsule such as is used to administer medicine to horses on the floor of the stall. Dr. Henry J. McCarthy, veterina- rian, declared that he examined the horse and found the animal normal, but the track stewards had already canceled the race in which the horse was to run. In his opinion, he said, the horse had not been given a dose of the sedative. DR. F.W.GRENFELL RITES TO BE HELD TOMORROW Funeral services for Dr. Frederick W.
