And even in certain sections of the drought area at least in
Illinois and Iowa, we know farmers who are smiling for the
first time in several years. With bumper corn crops, revived
pastures thanks to heavy rains, beans and silage maturing where
the grain was destroyed, and corn at 60 cents a bushel or
more, they are not staying up nights, worrying about the high
cost of living.
T1THT should they t Why should anyone, assuming that the
II. C. L. is principally due to putting agriculture on a
profitable basis, and not due to a food shortage, or to profiteer
ing. And to date there is po evidence of either.
' To support the latter statement we go to the "Administra
tive and research corporation of New York City," which sup
plies information on economic subjeots.
The government it seems, will have an effective remedy for
profiteering whether it be oonnected with the stock exchange
or the board of trade.
The days of "Bet a Million Gates" are over. There is no
rejoicing over this news but it is stated as a fact.
While the drought has been severe, and in some districts a
genuine catastrophe, thanks to carry-over surpluses there will
be no shortage of foodstuffs anywhere.
And finally we refer to the same authority, ''the AGGRE
GATE cash farm income, instead of being drastically below the
1933 level, actually promises to be substantially above it."
"Even in the stricken areas," the same authority maintains,"
the buying power of the farmer will not be destroyed for "huge
amounts are being poured into the devastated areas by the fed
eral government. Farmers will receive the amounts due from
AAA for acreage curtailment, regardless of the fact their entire
crops have been destroyed, and
mndo and will be continued to
drought stricken areas. In addition the government is spending
$525,000,000 appropriated by the last congress for drought
relief, either direct or on government projects."

ever you write about the subject of

To you, the pain of childbirth ap
pern to be eomethlng that one aftould

mind that If one survives the ei
crulatlng tortures of the damned one
will be rewarded with a baby.
True, a baby la worth every sacri
fice, but la it necessary In thla pre
sumably enlightened 30th century
for woman to have to undergo these
tortures In order to bear a child?
Is It because you are a man and
know you will never have to undergo
the ordeal of chlldbearlng that you
aimUM this subject so lightly?
I think all you physicians should
spend what leisure time you have In
sclentlflo research to discover some
means of mitigating women's awful
sufferings, Instead of berating them
for not wanting to undergo a aecond
childbirth after having been thru one.
Because childbirth la a "natural"
function la no reason why women
should not demand succor while in
labor. It la up to you doctors to find
this for them, Instead of extolling the
"noble Joys of motherhood" and the
sacredness of It.

The letter sounds as tho It had
been written In 1834 before the dis
covery of anesthesia. It sounds, too.
as If Mrs. B. H. were perhaps affUcted
with one-child sterility and seeks a
good alibi for riot proceeding with
the raising of a family.

THE RAILROADS are In a tough

and In order to meet Increasing costs
of operation they feel obliged to shove
ratea still higher.
How would you like to be In that

you ever saw.
I say next Sunday, because on
Monday they will commence picking
and that will apotl It all. So go Sun

will show you around and you will
see one of the most beautiful hop
yards In southern Oregon.
Hops are going to bring thousands
and thousands of dollar Into the
valley and not only that, several
thousand dollars will be paid out to
pickers who need the money.
Since last year Bert Clute has paid
out over 1-8000 In putting out more
hops. In buildings, and to take care
of this year's crop. He put up a
sawmill, and sawed his own lumber
from trees on his own ranch. He
has built an Immense big dry house,

pledge for reimbursement to the
county. If, and when able.
We believe the county court Is
composed of a fine body of men,
and should receive the support of the
public, but there la a question we
would like to raise here:
If these worthy poor are sick or
disabled, they should be taken care
of: If they are able-bodied, they
should be given some kind of employ
ment. People who are In need of
help now are undoubtedly In need of
clothing, dental work, hospital care
and various other things, besides
food. To saddle them with debt. In
our estimation, would not be conduc
ive to good citizenship, as ordinarily
It will be all they can do, when
times pick tip, to get along. If they
have a family. Of course there will
undoubtedly be a few who will be
come financially able to reimburse
the county, but the majority will
not.
The argument may be raised here
that to receive and not pay back. Is
not conductive to good citizenship,
but the point as we see It Is to be
kept too long In bondage, la demoral
izing.
If It could be arranged for party
to appear at stated Intervals and In
form the court of their financial con-
dltion, and eventually be given a
clean slate, we think it would be
much better. We know the court Is
carrying a lot of responsibility and
this Is not offered In criticism. May
be It will Induce other people to help
the court with a very perplexing
problem.

Sure. Let's Dream On,
To the Editor:
Why should any body be glum
about the Dr. Townsend Old Age Re
volving Pension Plan? With Initial
payment of 200 monthly, to me on
a federal pension, I'd buy two new
pair of shoe. $10; four pair new silk
socks,, 4: new silk shirts, S3; silk
underwear, $10; new suit olothes,
Sunday wear, 950; another for every
day wear, 20, Total $100. Out of this
my contribution to the pension fund
by way of a sales tax would be $10.
With balance of $100 I'd start out
to see my own part of America; Cra
ter Lake, Klamath Falls, Ashland,
Oregon Caves, Crescent City, Bandon,
Marsh field. North Bend. Newport, As
toria, Portland: WHOAl I'm broke
before I get one third of the way; so
I'd hitch-hike It for home and wait
for the next month's payment of
$200. Yes, I've paid another $10 sales
tax, on pension fund.
So far as I went, believe everybody
was happy, wages were good, incomes
Increasing, because business was
booming; employers and employes all
In good humor; why should we care
about a little 10 per cent sale tax in
times when a revolving pension plan
keeps the money rolling round and
round, year and year out ad Infini
tum? You have favored a sales tax bet
ter boost for this one don't you
think?
