Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
CONGRESS has passed and the
President has signed a law for
the rehabilitation of agriculture. It
la known as the farm relief act.
Ita purpose to to bring prosperity to
the farmer, and in its determination
to do that it goes farther than any
law EVER WENT BEFORE in this
country.
. It placea in one man's hands pow
ers that are little short of staggering
in their scope.
THERE la pending-before congress,
with the approval of the Presi
dent, a bill for the rehabilitation of
' Industry. It will undoubtedly be pass
ed by congress and signed by the
President.
With the determination to bring
prosperity to Industry, It too goes
farther than any similar law ever
nt before in this country, discard
ing the old theory that competition
Is the life of trade and giving to In
, dustry, under government supervis
ion, permission to ELIMINATE de
structive and vicious competition.
That places in Industry's hands a
Tast power for Its own betterment,
A ORICULTURE has been taken cave
JT of by law. Industry is to oe taa
en care of by law. Both are to be
made nrosperoua. . If it can be done
by legislation.
The next step in this program, If
we are to preserve a fair and honest
balance, .la to take care of LABOR by
law.
TWS writer, who Is no radical, be-
1 lieves that the next step In the
program to restore prosperity, tne
next move to bring about the new
deal, should be a law providing a.
shorter work week and a MINIMUM
WAGE.
WE talk about prosperity, whai
IS PROSPERITY, anyway?
Simply this: Prosperity la putting
Into the pocket of common, ordinary
people, who are vastly In the major
ity, money enough to enable them to
BUY the things that Industry and
agriculture produce.
When that Is done, WE HAVE
PROSPERITY.
- -4
NOW let us look at the picture from
the other side. When common,
ordinary people HAVEN T the money
with which to buy what Industry and
agriculture produce, we have HARD
TLR1KO.
After three years of depression, we
know that beyond all doubt.
FOR thousands of yeara, business
wan run in such a way as to
provide a FEW PEOPLE with the bulk
of the benefits.
The result haven't been anything
to boast about. The tendency has
been to build up ft comparatively
small number of huge fortunes whllt
denying to the vast majority of all
the people their rightful share of the
good things of life.
We have had occasional periods of
general prosperity, to be aure, when
EVERYBODY haa benefited, but they
have been relatively brief.
N
OW let ua examine these relatively
What haa brought them about?
Here la ttie answer: These periods
of general prosperity, when EVERY
BODY has been reasonably comfort
able and happy, have occured at those
happy tlmea when conditions have
been temporarily Just right to put
Into the pocket of the vast majority
of common, everyday people the mon
ey with which to buy what industry
and agriculture produce.
When wages-are good, we have pros
perity. Whe"n wages are bad. we have
hard Hires. Everybody knows that.
SO, if we are going to paaa a law to
make agriculture prosperous, ot
we are going to pass a law to make
Industry prosperous, let us hare the
good aense to go on and take the
ether necessary and logical step and
pass a law to make labor prosperous.
We can t have lasting prosperity In
this country unless we put Into the
pockets of those who work the money
with which to buy the thing, the?
he'.p to produce.

PENDLETOON, Ore., June 18. JP)
Further economy in state govern
ment "by consolidation and elimi
nation of sinecures" was urged here
last night by Rufus C. Holman, state:
treasurer, in an address to about
1.300 members of the Oregon State
grange, assembled for the 00th an
nual convention of the organisation.
He attacked the proposed state sales
tax. declaring "I see no Justification
for a sales tax. or for any such tax
as Is proposed."
Holman said that while he believes
Oregon Is coming out of "the finan
cial debacle," county and state eco
nomies in administration must be
had.
The treasurer took a crack at the
offloe of state budget director, held
by Henry Hansen In his discussion
of "governmental sinecures and du
plications." "I cite aa one of the
many sinecures," he said, "the office
of state budget director. With the ex
ception of not to exceed possibly
ninety days in every two years, this
Job s just about as necessary to the
taxpayers as a plug hat to a farmer
at a grange picnic."
Discussing the condition of the
state treasury, Holman said Oregon's
genera fund should be on a cash
basis by the end of 1034, If antlclpa
ted revenues materialize.
Holman said he believed that "from
the county officials particularly will
come "the most sensible and practical
suggestions" for the simplification
of governmental operation. He
gretted that the last legislature did
not authorize an appropriation for a
study of consolidation and realign-1
ment of state administration, and
suEgested the state board of higher
education undertake this work.
A temperature of 103 degrees, the
hottest day of the year, did not u'pset
the program the granger had sched
uled, and drills, conferences and other
convention work was carried on as
usual.
