WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 2. Tlie
most significant Inside news of poli
tics right now Is that the admin
istration is send
ing out corn-hog
checks at the
rate ot H.00O,
000 a day.
This money Is
colng to 1.250.000
midwest farmers
who have about
4.000,000 votes In
their families.
And the election
is only a month
away.
Figures may
not be interest
ing, but no better way has been found
of counting dollars and votes. The
figures show that, two months ago.
the AAA had paid out only 18.527.OO0
In corn-hog benefits. A few days ago
the pald-out total reached H00.064,
000. Tills significance Is plain. As
flection drew nearer, the checks went
faster.

It seems thai It is Just another of
those happy coincidences which al
ways are happening nowadays to aid
the' new dealerB. who are, as you must
know, me.e babes In the political
woods. If you doubt that, you over
look the fact that the trlple-A Ideal
ists, especially, always have consider
ed politics one of the lower, loath
some arts, and beneath their conside
ration. One thing, however, cannot be de
nied. The smartest politicians In the
world could not have done the corn
hog Job any better.
It Is no wonder the Republicans
are having a ha;d time trying to
make the coming congressional elec
tion look like a first-class argument.
They are getting lota of publicity. A
few Inside Incidents have occurred,
however, which Indicate all la not as
calm as It appears to be.
There Is, for instance, the case of
a, republican congressman running
for re-election In the middle west.
He has told his friends that this Is
the strangest campaign he waa ever
In. He is a good speaker and he has
been able to drum up fair crowda, but
be has noticed the crowda are openly
bored with his discussion of Issues.
They yawn when he talks sbout the
constitution, government spending
and such things.
Yet they have a deep Interest In
political personalities, lor they flock
around him afterward and ask him
what Is the low-down about so-and-o
In the new deal, whether that of
ficial actually goes out dancing with
his secretary, etc.
More algnlflcant Is the case of an
eastern republican congressman, who
has served several terms. His frlcnda
always have taken his re-election as
matter of course, but he dropped
Into town a few days ago with word
that he did not expect to win this
time. He has decided to go Into busi
ness with his brother-in-law. and al
ready has atarted In the business, de
spite the fact that he Is In the mid
dle of his campaign.
There Is nothing doing In the con
test over the speakership of the
bouse. The contestants have not been
able to get very far In obtaining
pledges of support. A lot of congress
men were left out In the cold when
the deal was made for the speaker
ship two years ago. They pledged
themselves to candidates who failed to
win and. as a result, they failed to
get any prominent committee Jobs for
themselves.
This time they apparently are
malting to find out who la going to
win and what they are going to get
out of It before they commit them
selves. A prize example is the Virginia
delegation, wVlch aupported Bank
head last time and got nothing, but
la now wisely remaining noncommittal.
It Is not generslly known that
there are a number of large industries
without codes, notably telephone and
telegraph, parking, all dairy products,
natural and manulactured gas and
tobacco. Nearly all are operating
under the presidents re-employment
agreement.
Those on the Inside at NRA aay
that labor advisers objected to about
40 per cent of the codes now in effect.
' Walter Hamilton ot the new NRA
board was the liberal who ltd the
Amherst college t.ght to prevent the
ousting of President Melklejohn.
T.ie processing taxes arc coming
fnt rn ush to keep up with the AAA
benefit payments. No omc;si fig
ures are callable, but treasury au
thorities say tax Income and pay
ment outgo have Just about reached
the balancing point.

Road Improvement and relief were

its opening session this afternoon for

The budget committee Is composed
of George W. Dunn, Ashland, chair
man: W. J. Freeman. Central Point:

The budget committee will spend a
couple of days, It Is planned, Inspect
ing the roads and bridges of the
county, so It will have first-hand In
formation of their conditions. Some
of the roads are reported at a stage
where, unless repairs are made, the
county will lose Its investment In
them. Some have become "wash
boarded" and worn, due to the wear
and tear of heavy traffics and haul
ing. The road fund the past three
years has been cut as an economy
move, and little work has been done
upon the roads during that period
save for bare maintenance. Repairs
are needed on some of the bridges.
Allotment of 120.000 for the old
age pension fund la contemplated.
The county appropriated $5000 for
the purpose last year, but It did not
become operative until near mld-ycor.

the 200 mark. They receive an av

The outspoken advocate of a uni

He agreed that the committee had

position to a unified service.
Reading from numerous notes,
Mitchell outlined to the commission
his conception of the functions of a
department of air.
He said such a department should
take over the present licensing and
inspection activities of the commerce
department, have charge of both mili
tary and civil aviation, as well as pre
pare a long-range aviation policy. The
weather bureau, he added, should be
under the air department rather than
the agriculture department, which "is
In charge of raising vegetables and
