This was indeed an anomalous sit- uation. The people were apparently entitled to know how private cor- porations spent their money, but they wer not enti'ed to know how their own government departments spent their money. Apparently one of the largest :ums of money ever disbursed by a non-elected officer v- govern- ment was to be expended at his dis- cretion without the public being in- formed as to its destination. Thereupon a resolution was intro- duced in the Senate to require the AAA to suppy the desired informa- tion. This seems to have induced a change of heart on the pari of the Secretary, for he announced that as soon as the cepartment had com- pleted the laborious task of mailing the farmers the checks due them, it would supply the requested informa- tion. Meanwhile a preliminary report was made, which discloses some ex- ceedingly interesting facts. It dis- closes that a large Florida sugar com- pany was paid $1,167,665 for curtail- ing output, that a Hawaiian sugar concern was pai¢ $1,022,037 (includ- ing one payment yet to be made;; that a Puerto Rico sugar producer was paid $961,064; and .na: four Lou- isiana plantation: were paid between $100,000 and $200,000. A corn-hog farmer received $157,000; a cotton planter $84,000; a wheat farmer $78,- 634; a tobacco producer $41,454; and so on. These payments, it should be re- membered, were not for services ren- dered, as in the case of the salaries of corporation officials, but were for reducing the output of sugar, rice, hogs, cotton, and wheat. The pay- ments, in other words, were for re- ducing the income of the nation. And the administration is now pressing a tax bill to secure further funds to be distributed in the same manner and for the same yurpose.
