‘earns because he MONDAY, MARCH 7, 1938. The Worm i s Eye View (By WALKER PECK) I know a fellow here in town who works for his living. He works hard, too; hard common labor. And every morning he gets out of his little trundle bed and dons the old working clothes, ies himself to his job and diligently does whatever he is told for the eight hours. He is one of those lads who form the backbone of the nation. Spends everything he doesn’t earn enough to save anything, and, in . Short, is a good upright respect- able citizen. The other day, when I chanced around the neighborhood of - his place of employment and dropped in to see him, we had a very en- lightening conversation. Drawing him aside wasn’t difficult, he looked as though he needed a breather and all we tad to do was duck the boss and start talk- ing. In what passes with me as humor, I asked, “How does it feel to have to work for a living?” “Fine”, he says. “I kind of like P “Like it!” I comes back. the love of Mike. why?” “Well. T'm outside most of the time. The work isn’t too ‘hard. I cat heartily. I'm healthv. And best of all I can sleep nights”. a wish 1 could). “Pretty. good reasons at that”, I says. “But I don’t much like the ‘idea of having to put in any eight or six or even four hours every day mucking around here like vou do”. “Therds another reason”, he admitted. “Economic. If I no work, I no eat”. “Oh, so that’s it. I guess there are a lot of people like that in this old world. But give me some of the dope. How do vou get alone on the job? Is the boss okeh? Do you get along with the other men working here? And what have you to look forward to when you get a little older?” “I get along on every job I work on. That is, as far as I per- sonally am concerned. Luckily, this boss is tops. He gives a man a task and expects him to dé it. That is the: ary" should be. The other guys hi Well, most of them don’t ike mend I don’t care much. for, most of them”. “For ‘Why don’t they like you, and i you them?”, That, sort of puzzled me. “It’s kind ‘of “hate to “Say.

Thus did Senator Arthur Vandenburg. most dependable spokesman for the minority party on Capitol Hill, express his opin- ion of the new farm bill. Mr. Vandenberg was more biting than most—but it is a matter of record that the bill has few real friends. Attitude of many of those who voted for it is probably neatly re- flected in George Norris’ obser- vation that “perhaps it will not work—but what will work?” It is impossible to adequately brief the bill in a short space—it consumed 104 pages of print in its final, approved form.

It seems a dead certainty that there is going to be a lot of liti- gation in the courts before the meaning of some of the more in- volved clauses is made legally clear. However, one thing is plain—the bill is designed to ex- tend sweeping governmental reg- ulation and control over produc- tion and prices of the four prin- cipal farm crops—wheat, cotton, corn and tobacco. The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to establish a national acreage allot- jand ment for each crop; to allow co- Operating farmers loans on crops whenever prices fall Parity level; and, under certain restrictions, to establish compul- sory marketing quotas, whenever the national supply of any crop _exceeds a specified level To say that the law starts its career under a cloud is simply to ‘state a fact. It was received very {‘coalty by almost all farm organi- | zations, and a number of granges went on record in flat appesition. Its constitutionality is far from sure. The overwhelming. major ity of economists regard it as * |something of a monstrosity. Even its sponsors, with few exceptions, are unenthusiastic—the bill is frankly to achieve the next-to-impossible task of reconciling bitterly oppos- ed interests and views in a single act. It was not adequately debat- ed in the House—a large number of members, when the time came to vote, had not even seen a copy of the text, the supply being in- adequate. And it passed the Sen- ate, 56 to 31, after only three days of consideration on the floor. Thus came in existence the first major law of the second reg- ular session of the current Con- gress.
