W H A T TO DO?
Farmers by now have received
their acreage allotments for the
1955 crop which are final al
though subject to late changes by-
congress and the possible defeat
of the allotments by an adverse
vote of more than a third of the
wheat farmers.
We consider it impossible for
the acreage allotments to lx? de
feated, now or anytime, under
the provisions of the present law.
Every man in the United States
with 15 acres in wheat can vote.
Farmers of small acreages all over
the country are finding out what
a bonanza wheat growing can he.
Far down in Georgia and Ala
bama they are learning that it is
easier to grow wheat than cotton
or peanuts or corn—and more
profitable, too.
Quality doesn’t
count.
High and rigid price supports
are the means by which the small
farmers can take over the wheat
business of the big growers and
they will do it— are already well
on the way.
Big wheat growers can grow
wheat more cheaply.
But it is
doubtful if they can beat the little
grower very much if acreage is
curtailed by a third or more. Big
machinery is expensive.
IX)wn along the creeks a one
mule plow, a sack to broadcast
from, and some brush burch for
a harrow will produce a crop of
wheat mighty cheap. Fifteen ac
res, 20 bushels, $600, a year’s liv
ing. Vote for it? Sure..
The only advantage modern
machinery has is to cheapen the
cost of production.
It requires
volume for successful use of big
machinery. When big machinery
cannot obtain the volume nor
cut the price it is of no avail.
How farmers vote here is of
no Consequence. The little wheat
grower— more and more of them
every year— will take care of the
rigid price system. And they will
take care of the big wheat farm
er, too.
it under goyernment control.
The dam pays no taxes.
When, and if, some dams can
be built with private money the
northwest can have the power
the experts say we will need.
That is what is called “give
away”. Say, a private company
b u ild s the" John Day dam It wi(J
pay taxes on its part of it. In 50
years the government will get the
dam. Both the federal govern
ment and the state government
will regulate the charges made
for the power from the dam. The
people themselves will put up
money through stock ownership
or loans.
It is really permitting the peo
ple to do things for themselves
instead of letting the government
do things for them. Most of those
who holler “give away” are those
who believe in big government
and subservient people, not in an
independent citizenry. It Is a to
talitarian idea and entirely out
of tune with the kind of Ameri
canism taught in school.
History teaches that big gov
ernment is more dangerous to
the people than big companies,
corporations or business. These
organizations are under control
of the government.
They pay
taxes set by the government, are
often regulated by the govern
ment, are even organized under
laws made by the government.
Big government makes its own
rules.
It is a proper function of gov
ernment to dispose of its naural
resources in order that they may
be used. It gave away the land to
homesteaders. Wouldn’t it have
been a terrible mistake for the
government to have kept it?
GIVE AWAY
REAPPORTIONMKNT
Some editorial writers assume
that the question of sovereignty
has something to do with the
subject of apportionment. They
say, these writing boys, that it is
perfectly right for states to lie
represented in the senate as
they are but that counties need
not lie. States, they say, are sov
ereign and counties are not.
Sovereignty is a theory of in
dependence. States were inde-
I>endent at one time as a matter
of theory only.
It was a good
word to get them to join the
union. Actually states have nev
er l>een sovereign because feder
al laws have always l>een domin
ant over those of the states.
The people are sovereign un
der our form of government in
that they, through their repre
sentatives, are the final word.
But sovereignty is not a factor
in the pro|>er decision aliout how
delegates to a legislative body
should l>e chosen. The constitu
tional convention found a com
promise decision that made re
presentative government possible,
a decision so wise that it has
been followed by all nations hav
ing a representative government
—often called a democracy, which
it is not.
That decision was that there
should be two houses of the leg-

just as it applies to any other

W ANT
From where I sit...
We are continually amused at
the persistence of those who hol
ler “give away’’ when speaking of
the present national policy about
dams in the northwest. Of course,
the expression is polltlcelly en
gendered and not very discerning
but it has come into use by some
who have minds not usually
available for political claptrap.
The question about dams is
who shall build them and who
shall operate them. The federal
government has liven building the
dams. It is very seriously In debt
and this administration has the
sense to know that debt is dan
gerous. It wants to cut down ex
penditures. It may lx? that inter
national affairs will become such
that more funds fur armaments
will tie necessary and the govern
ment shouldn’t be over-extended.
So, the government doesn't want
to put out money for new dams
unless it has to.
When the government builds
a dam It costs a lot more money
than if a private corporation
builds it. It costs more to operate
