"Without or with offense to friends or foes
I sketch your world exactly as it goes"
Byron
The First Miracle
If the government had entered Wall Street during the
stock panic last fall, arbitrarily fixed a price for leading
stock isaues, such as United States Steel, Standard Oil, Gen
eral Motors, etc., and begun to buy in large blocks to main
tain the price fixed and steady the market, we would have
an example of what the Farm Board is now doing to stabilize
the grain market.
It is an amazing spectacle this using or taxpayers
funds to gamble in the wheat pit by heavy purchases while
continuing to loan to cooperatives more than the wneai
offered as security is selling for in the market. Of course
if the Farm Board guesses right, and the market goes up,
no money will be lost, but if its guesses are no better on the
future market than it has Deen since it Degan to iuncuon,
the monev will be lost.
Mr. Legge states that the Farm Board action has the
full approval of Mr. Hoover, ana ne is quite reciuess in ma
speculations. Why shouldn't he be it is not his money he
is risking, but the taxpayers'. And though his first hundred
millions be lost he declares, there is still more available.
This is a new province of government, the use of fed
eral funds to upset the law of supply and demand and main
tain a fixed price for commodities regardless of world prices.
But even if the government was able to establish a monopoly
at home, it could not regulate prices abroad and the in
creased production it would stimulate at home, would eventu
ally spell complete demoralization.
The world has recently witnessed some disastrous at
tempts by governments at market control. There were the
British rubber, the Brazilian coffee and the Cuban sugar
monopolies and their chances for success were much
brighter, for they for a brief time secured control of pro
duction in the producing countries. But wheat is Mot a spe
cialized American crop, but a world-wide one.
If it is right to use federal funds to stabilize the wheat
market, it is equally right to use them to stabilize, in simi
lar fashion, other markets, including those of industries and
even of stocks and bonds. A government, supported by all
the people, cannot rightly play favorites. The new patern
alism must protect all.
Meanwhile it will be interesting to watch the perform
ance of the first miracle attempted by the "miracle man,"
the "great engineer," the great individualist who dubbed
those who believed in government control of power utilities
as "socialists."
Where Is It?
Advocates of prohibition before the House committee
considering the measure for repeal of the 18th Amendment,
are loud in their insistance that the dry laws have brought
urf nrosoeritv and all its blessings.
While the witnesses were thus testifying, parades of
the unemployed were being staged all over the land and
police were clubbing down marchers and using tear gas at
the very gates of the Whit House. .Pespite the bombard
ment of optimistic messages from Mr. Hoover, hard times
prevail, prices are falling .idleness increasing as deflation
completes its cycle of reaction from the long period of in
flation. Is this the prosperity that proniuition nas Drougnt :
It it is, we had better get rid of it.
But many other advocates, besides those of the dry law,
have been claiming the credit for prosperity. Mr. Hoover,
during his campaign posed as the guardian angel of pros
perity and promised to abolish poverty. He gave it out that
prosperity was the personal property of the Republican
party. The tariff barons, who financed his campaign, as
serted that the tariff was the cause of prosperity. The Wall
Street speculators declared that it was their stock market
gambling that stimulated prosperity. The utility and chain
store promoters insisted it was their mergers, monopolies
pyramiding and unloading of watered securities on the pub
lic that inspired prosperity.
The master of the Grange testifies to the great benefit
to the farmer of prohibition yet ever since its adoption
agriculture has been depressed. Demand for farm relief
came simultaneously with the dry law, which destroyed the
farmer's market for his surplus. More than anyone else, the
farmer has experienced the prosperity due to prohibition.
Of course all these claims by special interests for the
creation of prosperity, are hooey, for national prosperity
does not rest upon politics, acts of Congress or sumptuary
laws, but on economic conditions and the more government
interferes, the less prosperity.

A New Low Level
Some time since Senator Bingham was publicly cen
sured by the Senate for having surreptitiously put a tariff
lobbyist on the Senate payroll and having sneaked him into
secret sessions of the finance committee, and even permit
ting him to fix duties in the revised bill.
Now, however, comes the disclosure that Senator Grun
dy, former chief lobbyist for Pennsylvania!, protective tariff
beneficiaries and later appointed to the seat vacated by the
lamented Vare, Is not only permitting a lobbyist to use his
senate office, but that this lobbyist is actually on Grundy's
personal payroll for $500 a month.
The lobbyist in question is Warren F. Donne, editor of
The Manufacturer, propaganda organ fqr tariff seekers.
And Mr. Doane admits that Grundy's old organization, the
American Tariff League-has moved Hs headquarters into
the senator office in the Senate office building and con
ducting Its lobbying from there, from a desk assigned by Mr. V
Grundy, Another officer of tne Tariff League 'admitted
that he wrote tariff speeches for aenatoft.
Thus we have the spectacle of a United States senator
using his offices as lobbyist headquarters to put through
tariff measures and Grundy shamelessly asserts he has
no apologies to make. Neither did Senator Bingham have.
Senatorial standards are sinking to a new low level. But
what can we expect when the offices of senator and lobbyist
for special interests are united in one and the same person?

John and Peggy saw that the

for them and the tables are turned
into bureaus Just as the piano Is
turned into a bed, and now it is all
spread out and is the airplane &hop
oi tne playroom.
"They Just decide whether It's
tne time for the playroom, and
then they turn the handle so the
lurniture wul become what they
wish. Quite an idea, eh?"

it's Just a little bit too much like
playing a game all the time."
