MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUXE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FREOAT, JANUARY 17, 1936. HOOVER IN FAVOR DIRECT SUBSIDIES L PSGE SIXTEEN1 Former President Injects Humor in Discussing 'Rugged Prima Donnas' Roosevelt Administration LINCOLN. Neb., Jan. 17. (UP) Direct subsidy of special crops "until agriculture haa again been brought Into balaucfi" was advocated laat night by Herbert Hoover In the fourth of his current "debates" on the new deal. The former president spoke with his newly discovered humor and acrid sarcasm as he discussed the doing of "rugged prima donnas" In the Roose velt administration, which he de clared had used the urgent need of farm relief "as & cover to Impose the new deal philosophy upon the Amer ican people." I Summing up, he offered three i groups of policies as aids to sgrlcul- i ture. They were: 1. "Increase consumption of food by restoration -at employment. That ran come only with a balanced bud get, stable currency and credit. Olve the farmer our own home market. Adopt such aane national policies as . will again restore reasonable export Di fir nets. Out of this group of poli cies we can restore demand to many millions of fertile acres. a. "Retire the submarglnal lands where people cannot make a living, Do it In the more effective and hu mans way proposed by Secretary Hyde In 1932. Retard new reclama tion projects until the land can be used. 3. 'Encourage co-operative mar keting and those marketing agree ments which contribute to prevent gluts In the flow to markets. . The farm credit machinery established by Republican administrations and im proved by the new deal should be - still further Improved." Emergency Remains But, he added, further emergency measures are necessary, pending gen eral economic recovery. "They are doubly necessary," he aaUl, "as a new road must be built by which adgrlculture can get back onto solid ground from the quicksand of the new deal." He cuggested that, "Instead of try ing to find a balance to agriculture by paying the farmer to curtail a crop, we should endeavor to expand another crop which can be marketed or which would improve the fertility of the soil. The farmer should be Induced 'to grow such Imported goods aa vege table oils, sugar and Industrial pro ducts, replenish his soil with legumes and restore coverages, he said. "If we Include this suggestion with the policies I have already mention- ed," he continued, "which would re cover our lost acres from foreigners, we would be able to employ more than all the acres put out of action by the new deal. We would reverse this economy of scarcity to an econ omy of plenty." 1 To secure these objectives, he said, "I believe we must be prepnjed to subsidise directly such special crops until agriculture has again been brought Into balance." Within CoiiPtUutlon ' "I am advised," he added signifi cantly, "that It can be dons within the spirit as well as the letter of the constitution. "This work should be co-ordinated by s. non-poUttcnl national board," he said. 'The cost sou Id be borne by the general taxpayer and not loaded upon the poorest of the coun try through some tax like the process ing tax. Otherwlue this method will again be a subterfuge of pinkish na tional planning under another alpha bet." Fearing that "someone will shy at the blunt word 'subsidy,' " he pointed to the fact that under other names the principle has been applied to "railroads, highways, ships and avia tion, and silver mines and land recla mation." "We had better begin to use straight words and we will act straight," he declared. "A subsidy la a burden on the taxpayer, but It does not regiment or destroy the initiative or freedom of the receiver It li to stimulate that." GASOLINE THEFT FROM COP'S CAR BAD MISTAKE AHTOIUA, Ore.
