NARGOTIC ARRESTS HIT37INRICHMOND t s Physicians and Pharmacists Say They Would Welcome Plan for Control. Dy it Associated Press. ¢ RICHMOND, Va. October 2.—Ar- rests in the Federal-city drive against the narcotic trade here reached 37 yesterday. Mrs. Irma Page, city police said, was arrested in connection with the raids - which have been in progress here sinee Monday and was booked on a ‘charge of being drunk and disorderly. Officers said she was not in condi- tion to appear in Police Court and her case was continued until October 9. Charges placed against those taken in the round-up have ranged from violation of the Harrison narcotic act to being persons not of good fame and drunkenness and disorderliness. Meanwhile Dr. John W. Preston, secretary of the State Board of Medi- cal Examiners, and A. L. I Winne, secretary of the State Board of Phar- macy, said they would welcome “any workable plan” to cur bthe “indis- criminate use of narcotics.” Dr. Preston said he was certain physicians would be glad to co-operate, ‘but that he felt it would be unwise to enact any absolute prohibition of . marcotics. The Virginia uniform narcotic act, enacted in 1934, dags not limit the amount of narcotics that may be pre- scribed, but sets definite limits on the quantities of morphine, opium, codeine and heroin that may be sold. Lincoln (Continued From First Page.) than a little the Government checks for not raising crops and they are looking forward with interest to the ° new crop of Government checks, which is to come from their compli- ance with the A. A. A. soil conserva- tion. None of these soil conservation checks have yet been received. The Department of Agriculture, however, is straining every nerve to get & batch of these checks out by October 15. This will at least give the vast number of farmers who have joined in the program hope for what is to come. These are items checked up on the - credit of the farmer's ledger for Roosevelt. Items on the debit side— * which are helping Landon—are: . 1—The huge increase in the Fed- eral debt and heavy annual Govern- , ment deficits. Farmers, generally speaking, don't like to contemplate a $35,000,000,000 public debt, drawing interest amounting to $900,000,000 or more each year. They are afraid they will be called upon to pay these debts. 2—The Works Progress Adminis- tration is very unpopular with the farmers. For this two reasons are given. The farmers are too close to " the operation of the W. P. A, and they see men who have never amount- “ ed to a row of beans drawing down “ more money than they ever did be- " fore in their lives. They see favors ¢ going to others with political pull. ¢ The second reason the W. P. A, # causes a lot of the farmers indiges- ¢ tion is the “prevaililng wage” scale ¢ to the W. P. A. workers. It makes ¢ 1t increasingly difficult for the farm- # ers to hire farm hands. They can HAHN m— LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS . ..

Indeed, the increases in importa- tions of farm products which have occurred during the last year, and which the Republicans attribute to the Roosevelt production control pro- gram and to the trade agreements, have become an issue of some mo- ment. The New Dealers insist that thé farmers have to “come to under- stand” the reason for these importa- tions and believe they have benefited more from increases in prices than they have lost from such competie tion. The announcement of Gov. Lan- don’s farm program in his recent invasion of Midwest States, the New Dealers insist, brought disappoint- ment to many of the farmers. They say Landon overemphasized the ques- tion of benefits payments, and the farmers are more interested in keep- ing high prices for their products. What, they are asking, is to keep prices high under the Landon pro- ? The Republican farm leaders, on the other hand, retort that the Lan- don farm speeches have made a real impression on the Illinois farmers and those in neighboring States, helping the Republican cause. The farmers in Illinois have had good crops, exoept in s restricted drought area. They are feeling pretty good about things. For the drought in other States has so curtalled crops that the Illinois farmer is getting a still higher price for his produce. There is another item which seems to favor Roosevelt in the minds of the farmers. The farmers have never had any particular love for the great class of middle men who handle farm products, the processors, the com- mission merchants and members of boards of trade. These middle men have fought efforts to aid the farmers in the past, it is charged. And now the farmers see these middle men lining up for Landon and it is giving them pause. Here is & comparison of prices of farm products in the last week of September, 1932, B. N. D. (before the New Deal) and in third week of September, 1936. 1936 ‘When the change in prices of his products are dinred in the ears of the Illinois farmer, and his attention is called to the improved condition he now finds, it is little wonder the farmer scratches his head over the| election and what part he will play. The approach to the farmers by New Deal campaigners this year and | by the Republicans differs. The New Dealers are appealing to the farmers as & class, talking to them of special benefits which have accrued to them under the Roosevell administration. The Republicans, on the other hand, are dealing with the farmers in this campaign as members of the great body of citizens. The same issues that are put up to the industrialists and to the business man are put up to the farmers—particularly the is- - THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

In the Republican advertisement s questionnaire is included, whicn the farmers are asked to fill out and mail to the Farm Advisory Council of the G. O. P. Nationa! Committee in Chicago. “Which would you hire,” Roosevelt or Landon, it asks, with 10 attendant questions. The first of these questions is: “Radio talker— which has the most pleasant, smooth- sounding voice?” Another question is: “Insurance company president— to whom would you rather trust the management of the funds you pay in as premiums?” A third question: “County your county is spending $2 for every $1 it takes in, apd you want a good man to pull it out of the red, which would you choose?” Votes Faver Landon. The great preponderance of the ballots mailed in this straw vote on “Roosevelt or Landon” are favorable to Landon. Accompanying the bal- lots are many ocomments, most of them deriding Roosevelt, but some of them attacking the Republicans. Here is one comment from & Missouri farmer: “I wouldn’t trust Roosevelt with one of my fox hounds.” From i It is said he is seeking to his hold on politics so that n run for mayor next year. But present and immediate aim seems to take a shot at the Chicago and its publisher, Cod. Robert ‘M. McCormick. That is an old feud. In the 1932 senatorial election Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick Simms, widow of Medill McCormick, was the Republican senatorial candidate, Big Bill “sold her down the river.” He is going to try to do the same thing for Wayland Brooks, the Re- publican nominee for Governor, who is & particular protege of the Chicago Tribune, according to all accounts.
