In the Day's N
By FRANK JENKINS.
At an election held the oth
er day, the nation's wheat
farmers voted by a better
than four-to-one margin to
continue rigid government
controls over their 1960 crop.
The alternative rejected at
the election was unrestricted
plantings and sharply reduced
price props.
The present rigid control
program (which the wheat
farmers approved by an over
whelming vote) calls for plant
ing allotments totaling 55 mil
lion acres, marketing quotas
based on the allotments and
price supports at the present
minimum level of 75 per cent
of "parity," or NOT LESS
than $1.77 a bushel.
If the wheat farmers had
REJECTED the controls, they
would have received price
supports of only 50 per cent
of . parity-or about $1.18 a
bushel.
rpHAT is to say:
- The rejected program
would have meant a SMALL
ER wheat -subsidy. The pro
gram that was overwhelming
approved means continuation
of a HIGHER wheat subsidy.
- To make the situation more
understandable, it should be
added that the nation's ware
houses are already stuffed
with so much wheat that we
could go for a year or so with
out raising a single bushel and
still have plenty of wheat to
go around.
billion. Business subsidies
(transportation and such) to
tal up to about 1.4 billion. The
balance of about 0.2 billion
goes for grants for public
housing, slum clearance proj
ects and such.
On a per capita basis, each
billion dollars spent by the
federal government costs you
as an individual about $5. So
this 15 billion dollars in sub
sidies costs you about $70. If
you're the breadwinner for a
family of four, it costs you
about $300.
It might pay you to figure
up some time how much you
GET BACK.
HOW did subsidies get start
ed. Politicians found - quite a
long time ago-that subsidies
are a good way to get votes.
TJMMMMMMM.
Before condemning the
wheat farmers too severely,
consider this:
If called upon to vote on a
bill requiring you to work
longer hours for less pay,
what would you do?
You'd probably do what the
wheat farmers did. As long as
subsidies are available, their
beneficiaries will probably
vote to accept them.
FOOD for thought: .
TOTAL federal . subsidies
amount to about 15 BILLION
dollars per year. Of this total,
the farmers get about 3.5 bil
lion. Foreign aid gets about
3.8 billion. Public aid gets
about 2.0 billion. Grants to
local governing bodies get
about 1.8 billion. Subsidies to
veterans amount to about 2.2
State fo Produce
Contents of Bag
West Covina, Calif. -(DPD-The
state said it would pro
duce at a preliminary murder
hearing today the "highly
significant" contents of a
brown bag found near the
spot where Dr. Bernard
Finchv 41, allegedly shot his
socialite wife, Barbara, 33,
July 18.
Finch was not expected to
testify at the hearing, at
which Municipal Judge
Arthur H. Miller will decide
whether the state has suffi
cient evidence to hold him for
murder trial.
Deputy District Attorney
Fred N. Wichello declined to
reveal before the hearing the
contents of the brown bag he
said was found near the $80,-
000 home where Finch's es
tranged wife lived..
Finch's girl friend, Carole
Tregoff, 22, and Marie. Lid-
holm, 19, a. maid in Mrs.
Finch's home were among
seven witnesses subpenaed for
today's hearings. Both have
admitted being at the scene
of the killing, but neither
saw the fatal shot.
A housewife would save 40
feet of walking and a third of
the time she spends making a
bed if she just did one side at
a time.

Gold Dust Legal Tender
Boulder, Colo. - IUPD - Gold
dust is legal tender again in
Colorado-two bits' worth to
the sack-as part of the state's
centennial celebration.
It's the idea of a Boulder
engineer named Kent Schnei
der, who panned the dust
from what's left of an old
mill, mixed it with what he
admits are a "few impurities"
and packaged the stuff in
small plastic bags which he
in Colorado
sells for 25 cents.
Schneider, who figures the
gold in each sack is actually
worth 26 cents, arranged for
business establishments
throughout the state to accept
the bags in exchange for a
quarter's worth of merchandise.
In Switzerland, 90 per cent
of all mustard is sold in un
breakable metal tubes.
