To compensate the farmers
for this disadvantage the pro-
gram urged would pay produc-
ers a premium of 25 per cent of
the Republican plan for farm re-
lief, said to have been approved
by Gov. Landon and a consider-
able number of farm leaders and
agricultural economists. Intro-
duced by Rep. Hope, of Kansas,
the ranking Republican mem-
ber of the Agricultural com-
mittee, it provides “tariff equi-
valent payments” to farmers on
that portion of their crops which
enter domestic consumption and
applies to producers of wheat,
cotton, corn-hogs and tobacco
No provision is made for soi
conservation but supporters say
thiei feature may be added. The
cost, estimated by Mr. Hope,
would be $400,000,000 a year,
supplied from customs duty col-
lections.

nels. He would be entitled to a
premium payment of 25 per
cent, representing the increased
cost of things he buys as a re-
sult of the tariff, on 750 bushels
or about 187.50.

It is pointed out that the De-
partment of Agriculture has
compiled a list of 200 commodi-
ties which are purchased in
large quantities by practically
all farmers and that the ad valo-
rem tariff on them averages 26
per cent. In discussing the plan
Mr. Hope says it “is frankly
based on the idea that as far
as its effect on prices are con-
cerned, the producer of surplus
commodities has no tariff pro-
tection.”

“EXTRA GIRL”
The people of the United
States paused this week to ob-
serve the birthday of Abraham
Lincoln.
Throughout the nation, includ
ing the Southern states, then
is a general recognition of the
character of this simple ma;
who led his nation through its
most destructive crisis. Stu-
dents of history fully appreciate
that his assassination produced
an era that reflected no credit
upon his successors. The con-
viction is general that if Abra-
ham Lincoln had lived to serve
out his second term as Presi-
dent, the United States would
have been completely reunited
many years earlier than proved
to be the fact.
Of course, not every politician
who pays lip service to the
memory of the War President
cares for the principles he deem-
ed important. Individuals, who
want to know Lincoln, are ad-
vised to read a good history of
his life rather than to heed
some of the encomiums heap-
ed upon him by present-day
orators.

ed upon by critics as the chief
weakness of the Hope plan.
They point out that without
some measure of crop control
farm prices might return to the
1932 levels and that the 25 per
cent payment might not com-
pensate for the difference be-
tween prevailing prices and what
might be regarded as a “fair
price” for farm products. Also,
they suggest that since foreign
purchases largely fix the price
for crops of which we produce
surpluses, as Gov., laindon says,
It is essential that this price be
maintained, when necessary, by
a system of controlled produc-
tion.

Wars, like many other things,
are expensive, not so much be-
cause of the initial cost, but on
account of the many accessory
expenses that follow.
The United States officially
ended the World War on July
21, 1921, when the President,
Warren G. Harding, officially
proclaimed its conclusion. On
that date,
the money cost at $25,729,000,-
000. With the payment of the
bonus included this figure mov-
es up to $45,200,000, according
to a tabulation prepared by the
Associated Press.
The average citizen may won-
der where thia increased amount
comes in. The answer is easy.
Up to 1934, the Veterans’ Ad-
ministration in Washington
spent more than six billion dol-
lars and interest on the war debt
was well over nine billions. To
get the full amount for today,
all you have to do is to add in
the cost of the bonus payment,
the amount spent on veterans
since 1934 and the interest paid
for the past two years.

Surgery has healed t h e j
wounds made by vandals on the 1
huge live oak tree in the Goose
Island State park near Corpus
Christi. This tree, with a cir-
cumference of 31 feet, is staid
to have the largest girth of its
species in Texas. Its age is es-
timated at several hundred
years.
Over a period of years, its gi-'
gantic ti unk has been the object
of attack by nature-butchers,
who have carved their initials
and hacked off “souvenirs” oi
protective bark, paving the way
for destructive attacks by in-
sects.
Skilled tree surgeons of the
NcAional park service, co-operat-
ing with the Texas State park
board, have removed these scars
and restored the natural appear-
ance. A fence has been built a-
round the tree, as a measure oi
protection against further des-
tructive acts by thoughtless per-
sons.
Other acts of vandalism with I
which the National park ser ;
vice and the State park board'
have to cope in their develop-1
ment of a chain of State parks
in Texas include:

officials began to select the Ranger-

they planned to have one who was

along came Mabel Rooks, shown above,

Officials found later she had been born

port at the polls. Opinions will
differ <u> to the prodnminnnoo af
the respective motives.
The adjusted service compen-
sation certificates, provided by
congress in 1934 for payment in
1945 was expected by many op-
timistic souls to remove the pen-
sion issue from politics in so far
as the World War was concern-
ed. Today, with immediate pay-
ment of the certificates author-
ized by Congress, the question
of pensions looms on the hori-
zon with every indication that
the veterans of the World Wai
will do just what the veterans
of other wars have done and use
their voting strength as a club
to secure financial favors from
the government.
It is not our purpose in this
article to advocate or attack the
future payment of such pen-
sions. Rather is it our desire to
call attention to the issue which
will certainly arise. If the A-
merican people are willing to be
taxed for general service pen-
sions, they will undoubtedly
have an opportunity to bear
this burden. If, on the other
hand, the public does not favor
