MILLIONAIRES
INCREASE
We read in the daily press that in
1932 there were 20 men who were for
tunate enough to have incomes of a
million dollars or more. In 1933 this
number had Increased to 46 while at
the same time those with incomes of
<5,000 or less had decreased by 81,000.
These figures were drawn from income
tax reports, which do not take into con
sideration those in the low income
brackets but it is fairly safe to say that
there was an even greater decrease
among those of lower Incomes.
It clearly shows what is happening.
The rich are getting richer, the poor
are getting poorer. In general the fig
ures showed a decrease in all incomes
up to $25,000 and an increase in the
categories above that figure. Three in
dividuals, whose, names were not dis
closed. had incomes over three million
and the individual with the largest in
come had over five million.
The statement of Harry Hopkins, re
lief administrator, is encouraging. He
said he would like to see the “ two class
es of the dole,” the coupon clippers and
those on relief, brought closer together.
The figures, which were released this
week, had served to concentrate atten
tion upon the campaign for some redis
tribution of the nation's wealth and
may lead to legislation in the coming
session of congress to Increase the tax
on the higher Incomes.

Christ's words on the cross spoken to
the penitent thief in Luke 23-43.

mean on new irrigation projects, for
how else can they be absorbed?”
Mead Defends Irrigation
Defending the federal reclamation
commissioner, struck back Sunday at
critics of further construction of irri
gation projects.
“ It took the great drouth to show the
nation the service which reservoirs
already completed are rendering and
the need for early completion of those
under way,” Mead said in his annual
report.
“ Recently the opinion as prevailed in
some sections that further construction
of irrigation works is uneconomic and
injurious,” said Mead. “It arose out of
an exaggerated conception of the area
irrigated under federal works, which is
less than 1 per cent of the total farm
ed area of the United States.”
The commislsoner said crtics of ir
rigation have not realized how neces
sary the works being built are to the
prosperity of the cities and towns and
industries located in the irrigated re
gions.
Irrigable land was described by Mead
as the “new frontier' of the United
States,

One of the important governmental
activities undertaken primarily for the
benefit of the farmer is the census of
agriculture, which will be taken begin
ning January 2, 1935. This census will
answer many questions of great im
portance to the various agencies now
formulating programs for the benefit
of the agricultural industry.
In order to expedite the taking of the
census an effort is being made to place
a sample copy of the
Census
Schedule in the hands of every farmer
prior to the time of enumeration. An
army of 25,000 enumerators will can
vas every farm and ranch in the Unit
ed States. The cooperation of all farm
ers and ranchers is necessary to the
success of this census, and it will do
much toward speeding tabulation and
enumeration of these statistics by pro

The report showed that in 1933 there ■
were 2,828,787 acres of land irrigated,
while 2,797,815 acres were cropped, an
increase of 22,535 acres over the pre
vious year. The crops were valued in
the report at $82,191,733, an Increase
of $34,033,352 over 1932.
