THOUGHTS FOR
TODAY
He that is good is
free, though be be a
slave; and he that is
evil is a slave, though
he be a king.
—Augustine.
He who is satisfied
with himself and with
his attainments is not
living worthily. A
wholesome life ever
sees better things yet to
be reached.
—J. R. Miller.
Good deeds are
trophies erected in the
hearts of men.
—Xenophon.
Love — love never
misses a chance of do-
ing somebody else a
good :turn.—Howden.
Trouble and per-
plexity drive us to
prayer; and prayer
driveth away trouble
and perplexity.
—Melanchthon.
POTATO CONTROL
How light, now darkness;
Iways love.—Inscription on
n old English sundial.
As we understand the “Po-
tato Control” amendment to
the AA.A. Act, which was en-
acted by Congress last month,
every farmer who raises and
sells more than five bushels of
potatoes anywhere in the Unit-
ed States will have to pack the
potatoes in containers of a size
and style prescribed by the De-
partment of Agriculture, and
attach to each container a
stamp printed by the Govern-
ment. The stamps will be eith-
er potato-tax stamps or tax-ex-
emption stamps.
Whether the stamp is a tax-
exemption stamp or a tax
stamp will depend upon
whether the farmer has grown
and offered for sale more or
less than his quota of potatoes.
Every farmer is to be given a
quota—that is, a specific num-
ber of bushels of potatoes
which he may produce and sell
without paying a special tax.
If he grows more than his
quota, he will have to pay a
tax of 45 cents a bushel on ev-
ery bnshel in excess of the
quota.
Of course, every such re-
strictive law offers a tempta-
tion to violate it. So there is a
provision in this potato con-
trol law intended to prevent
bootlegging of potatoes. It
provides that any person who
knowingly offers for sale or of-
fers to buy potatoes not prop-
erly packed, or packages not
stamped, is liable to a fine up
to $1,000, and for a second of-
fence, to imprisonment up to
one year.
According to the Depart-
ment of Agriculture, there are
somewhat under 3,000,000
farmers who raise potatoes for
the market. Only a trifling
fraction of these grow less than
five bushels. How many pota-
toes the rest of them may
grow and sell is still to be de-
termined, but every farmer
will be alloted his quota be-
fore the end of this year.
The idea of this potato con-
trol amendment, of conrse, is
that of benefiting the fanner.
Potatoes have ■ lately been
bringing the lowest prices in
many years. One reason is
said to be that many farmers
who have been prohibited
from growing their customary
crops of wheat, com and cot-
ton have put their land to po-
tatoes. At retail in the big city
markets potatoes have lately
sold at one cent a pound. That
is 60 cents a bushel, including
transportation and handling
costs and profits of wholesalers
and retailers, which doesn’t
leave very much for the farm-
er.
Consumers have been
jubilant over the fact that the
price of this important staple
Washington, Sept. 2.—T h e
President, after a short vaca-
tion, is going on the road to sell
the New Deal to the people of
the United States. In his
sample case he will carry a lire
of new goods, produced un-
der his direction by the 74th
Congress in its first session.
First on his list of goods is
the Social Security Act, with
old age pensions for every-
body and unemployment in-
surance for industrial work-
ers. Mr. Roosevelt regards
this as perhaps his choicest
piece of merchandise. In the
cities he will show the Wagner
Labor Disputes Act, with its
protection of the right of col-
lective bargaining, while in
stricts h<

There, have been consumer
strikes against meat products
and other foods because of
mounting prices. We wondeil
how long consumers will be
happy when the price of pota-
toes also begins to climb.

WAR TOUCHES US ALL
Nothing could more effec-
tively demostrate to every-
body the fact that war or even
the threat of war involving one
of the major Western nations,
touches tbe interest of eveiy
other nation and of all of their
people, than tbe excitement
and concern now being exhibit-
ed in all of the world’s capi-
tals over the questions which
have been raised by the ad-
vance of Italy upon Ethopia.
Italy is more than 3,000
miles from the United States
and Ethiopia is still farther
away, yet the question of our
own neutrality and of what
our Government should do to-
ward cooperating to prevent
the war is a vital and impor-
tant one. It is one thing to
talk about prohibiting the sale
of war supplies to one or both
belligerents in 8 war. It is
quite another thing to make
such prohibition effective.
What are war supplies?
Canada has announced that
she will not dump her wheat
reserves on the market but will
hold them in the expectation
of high prices, because of this
war. Wheat is a war supply,
no less than bullets or gun-
powder.
We earnestly hope that our
nation will not become in-
volved in any way that will
further strain our relations
with Italy and the rest of the
world, but we believe it would
be in the interest of every
American for our State De-
partment to lend all the moral
support possible to the efforts
which other great nations are
making to avert this silly and
senseless war.
Only Worked There
A stranded English actor
went into a sordid hash honse
in New York for a cheap meal.
In the waiter he was horrified
to recognize a colleague who
had played with him in Lon-
don.
“Great Scott!’’ he gasped.
“You a waiter in this place?”
“Yes, but I don’t eat here,”
replied the other with some
dignity.”—Christian Science
Monitor. -

For everybody’s benefit, the
President can display the new
Banking Act increasing the
Federal Reserve Board’s con-
trol of credits; the act for the
Federal regulation of public
utility holding companies; the
interstate bus and truck regu-
lation act and the billkm-dol-
lar appropriation for national
defense.
• • •
Also, in Sample Cu*.....
The bulkiest item in his
sample case is the $4,800,000,-
000 appropriation for Work
Relief. It is calculated to ap-
peal strongly to people of ev-
ery section and class. How
much of a display Mr. Roose-
velt will make of the new in-
come tax law is a bit doubtful.
Congress did not construct
that according to his specifica-
tions, since the main feature
which he urged, the inherit-
ance tax, was omitted. How-
ever, it will serve as it stands
as evidence of his intention to
carry out the promise of his
inaugural address, of a more
equitable distribution of
wealth.
For the coal miners and the
bituminous coal industry he
can point with justifiable pride
to the Guffey-Snyder Act, ap-
plying NRA principles to the
soft-coal industry. For rail-
road workers, he can point to
the WagnejvCrosser railway
pension law.
Those are only the major
items of New Deal legislation
enacted at the session of Con-
gress just ended. There is
still much unfinished business
in both Houses. Left hanging
in the air are the Pure Food
and Drug bill, ship subsidy
legislation, war-profits regula-
tion (although a neutrality
resolution prohibiting sales of
war supplies to belligerents
was rushed through in the
closing hours of the session),
regulation of commodity ex-
changes, regulation of water
transportation, the Bankhead
farm tenant relief bill, the
Black 30-hour week bill, and
the Wagner plan for general
prohibition of child labor.
Tribute to Weeklies Was
One of Will Rogers’ Best
Chicago.—Some of the
late Will Rogers’ philoso-
phic and humorous para-
graphs will go down in
literary history as master-
pieces. And perhaps one
of the finest of these is his
tribute to the "home town
paper,” one of his last
writings.
“Take away my ham,
take away my eggs, even
chili,” said Will, “but
leave me my newspaper.
Even if it has such purely
local news as ’Jim Jones
came home last night un-
expectedly, and blood-
shed ensued’ or 'Jesse
Bushyhead, our local M.
D„ is having one of the
best yean of his eareer,
practically speaking—but
they just won’t pay him
when they get well,’ ‘the
county seat was packed
yesterday with prominent
people from out of town,
attempting to renew their
notes’ and ‘election aint’s
far off and everybody is
up for office that can sign
an application blank.’
“Now all that don’t
seem much news to you.
But it is news to you, es- 1
pecially when you know
the people and they are '
your own folks. So no 1
matter how punk you may '
think your local newspa- '
per is getting, why just '
take it away from you and ’
see how you feel. The old ’
newspaper, I think, is just *
about our biggest blessing. '
"So let’s all read and '
be merry, for tomorrow *
the paper may not have *
enough ads to come out.” 1
Under any circumstances,
business will grow faster by
using newspaper space. News-
paper advertising will increase
tbe demand for anything any-
where.

session. Four months of per-
sonal contact with their con-
stituents will give many Sena-
tors and Representatives a
clearer idea of where they
and the Administration stand
with the voters.
The Supreme Court may
also figure in the picture. It is
expected to pass this Pall on
some more of the New Deal
legislation of the previous Con-
gress, if not of this one.
The Congressional recess
will not mean a long vacation
for many of the members.
Seven Senate Committees and
eight of the House will carry
on investigations of a wide
range of public questions.
Among the investigations
which are expected to pro-
duce at least news paper
headlines, if not useful inform-
ation on which to base future
legislation, are those into the
activities of lobbies of all sort,
chain stores and their lobbying
operations, the Virgin Islands
administration, bankruptcy
practices in the Federal
Courts, and the air-mail trans-
port concerns.
Surveying the congressional
debris left lying around in the
mad rush of the boys on Capi-
tal Hill to get back home, one
item stands out. That is the
failure to pass tke Patman
bonus bill over the President’s
veto. And the possible result
of that failure is giving a good
