What is this voluntary allotment
plan of farm relief that Governor
Roosevelt has approved? someone
has asked. It is a simple device by
means of which the protective tariff
on farm products can be made to
apply to that portior of such prod
ucts sold in the domestic market.
It is the only plan yet advanced
by means of which it is possible to
compute with a fair degree of ac
curacy just what it will mean to the
farmer in terms of dollars and cents.
Experts have figured, using the
statistics of the United States de
partment of agriculture, that thi.3
plan would add 51 million dollars to
the value of Iowa's hog crop, 22 mil
lion dollars to South Dakota's hog
and wheat crops, 40 million dollars
to Nebraska's hog and wheat crops.
It would add $13,500,000 to the value
of the cotton crop of Georgia, 19 mil
lion dollars to that of Mississippi, 40
million dollars to that of Texas, and
so on down the line.
That is something concrete and
understandable and it also is work
able. A bill that would have accom
plished that very thing got through
the senate last spring before the Hoo
verites discovered what It was all
about and ordered it billed.
It means 42 cents (the amount of
the tariff) added to the price per
bushel of fully 80 per cent of the
wheat raised in this country, 2 cents
a pound added to -virtually all the
pork, 5 cents per pound addsd to
fully half the cotton and correspond
ing increases in the price of other
products.

Forget about Herbert Hoover and
his broken promises for a little while.
Forget about Franklin D. Roosevelt
and the hope or fear with which he
may be regarded. Concentrate for a
moment upon the real issue of this
campaign, then return to contempla
tion of the principal personalities in
volved.
Stripped of it3 simplest consider
ations, the issue simply is this: How
shall we continue to exist? It ha3
reached that point for millions al
ready. Other millions are inevitably
coming to it unless conditions change.
Values and processes of distribut
ing aud exchanging the products of
labor have broken down, or are near-
ing a total collapse. Wholesale bank
ruptcy is imminent. Repudiation of
public debts looms as tax collections
languish.
Millions of the poor whom mis
fortune has already overtaken are
living off the more fortunate. The
more fortunate are dipping into the
public treasury taking out of the
common fund to continue the pro
cess of feeding, clothing and hous
ing those who no longer can sustain
a semblance of the normal functions
cf business.
There is plenty cf work to be done
and willing hands to do it. There is
an accumulation of unsatisfied hu
man wants estimated at 40 billions
cf dollars. But goods cannot be sold
for cost of producing them, hence
there i3 no demand for labor. Above j
all, there is no money with which
to carry on. The money has all been
impounded by a greedy few.
Practically, the entire populace of
ihc country is subsisting eff its cap
ital. Obviously this cannot go on in
definitely for eventually it will pull
even the richest down to a common
level with Che poorest. Now return
to a consideration of Hoover and
Roosevelt. Which cf the two men
offers humanity the most reason to
hope that he might be instrumental
;n changing these conditions?
Shall this nation go on with Hoo
ver under whom these evils have
developed, who, in fact, has been the
principal author of many of them,
especially the doles fcr big business?
Has his capacity for righting things
not already been put to the test?
And Roosevelt at least he has
shown a warmth cf sympathy and
a depth of understanding' that his
opponent does not possess. ' He has
proven to be a great executive, at
least he is a human being, net a
ccld and emotional machine.
IT WORKS BOTH WAYS
No one In this country today ap
proaches President Hoover in claim
ing for government action a puis
sant control of the movement and
direction of our economic life. His
current campaign speeches are
sprinkled with expressions conveying
the idea that his administration must
be recognized as the sole or major
cause of such economic recovery as
we may now enjoy. At Detroit, the
president said:
"The measures and policies of
the republican administration
are winning this major battle
for recovery.
"Our measures and policies
. . . have preserved the Amer
ican people from certain chaos.
"This is the constructive pro
gram proposed by the republic
an administration and largely
adopted for the relief of the
emergency. ... It has prevented
national chaos. It is today pro
ducing national recovery.
"I have tonight confined my
self to the measures which we
have taken to save this country
from a gigantic disaster."
Eeing obviously a matter of opin
ion, these claim3 need not stall us
by their sweeping scope and compel
minute analysis of them. Accepting
them at their face value, a pertinent
question immediately arises. If the
administration, in Fpite of malignant
democratic obstruction, as it be
lieves, has saved this nation from
certain chao3," from "a gigantic dis
aster," by "production national re
covery," it is impossible to under
stand why, being endowed with Euch
powers, it permitted the depression
ever to come at all.
The underlying theory of the
president's campaign speeches crashes
the moment it is pointed out that
if he can rightly claim conomic re
covery as something due to him, or
his administration, ho must account
for his failure to use his magic to
prevent the depression in the first
place from striking us. Can Mr. Hoo
ver have it both ways to suit his
present political needs? Must he and
his administration and the 12-year
regime he represents be absolved
from all blame fcr the coming or
the intensification of tho economic
crisis, while any degree of economic
recovery we may experience must be
chalked up to their credit?
Mr. Hoover's theory now embraces
the assumption that the depression
war; wholly due fo the war world
causes and origins are his explan
ation of its coming. This country
wa.3 the innocent bystander. As for
the war being tho exclusive cause,

tipn of all your property comes under the jurisdiction of the

the interest and welfare of your loved ones. You have a per

actual legal training and experience in the practice of probate
law, who is incorruptible, fearless and yet whose "heart beats
in human sympathy," and who will extend every kindness,

to law.
Upon this basis, I respectfully and earnestly ask for -our

Chancellor Franz von Papen
statement that the "form of govern
rcent" is not an issue In Germany,
indicating that in his opinion a re
storation of the monarchy today is
not in the realm of practical politics
accords with the information brought
back by foreign observers. At least
one member of the Von Papen gov
ernment has made no secret of his
personal preference for the non
archist system and the background
of the chancellor and his colleagues
generally lies in the old regime. But
the evidence is strong that the Ger
man people, as a whole, are not par
ticularly interested in reviving
mediaeval monarchy and their pres
ent leaders seem to have accepted
that fact. 1
Chancellor von Papen remarked
that, in view of the number of prob
lems confronting the German people,
they were glad not to have to worry
about their form of government as
well. He might have added that
while the German people appear to
welcome the almost dictatorial gov
ernment now being supplied by Pres
ident Paul von Hindenburg after the
political uncertainty of recent years.
the Hohenzollerns simply do not fit
into the picture. Perhaps it is be
cause their past record Is so incon
gruous with any concept of a mod
ern state, whether democratic or fas
cist. Even Adolf Hitler, it should be
noted, has not tried to make the
monarchy a national issue.
The former kaiser's sons may at
tend military reviews in Germany,
but they seem to be regarded rather
as museum pieces. As for the kaiser
himself, while he may believe that
he is indispensable, the Germans ap
parently take a different Tiew.
Strangly enough, they still prefer to
get along without him.

cier, Salter:
"It is important that we
should remember that if the
world has now had two and
one-half years of very severe de
pression, it had, before that de
pression began, made an extraor
dinarily rapid recovery from the
devastation of the war. . . .
Within seven years of the con
clusion of the war the world as
a whole was substantially bet
ter off than it had been before
the Avar. Production had in
creased more rapidly than popu
lation. The average standard of
living was higher. Belligerent
Europe had fallen a little be
hind, but it made up in the next
few years, and. In 1929, only
10 years after the conclusion of
hostilities, not only the world
as a whole, but even Europe,
had a higher average standard
of living than in 1913. That
was an amazing achievement."
Salter ha3 a good deal of evidence
to support that statement. Tras the
war, then, necessarily the exclusive
source or our economic crisis in
1929-1932?
As American citizens, we are
forced to pass Judgment on the
claim that government, when admin
istered by Mr. Hoover and his party,
has prosperity in its Special keeping
under all economic conditions. Thus,
in 1928, Mr. Hoover's election was
urged in order to preserve prosper
ity; evtn more than that, to perpet
uate it in an ever rising curve. In
1932, after experiencing the most
terrible depression in history, Mr
Hoover's re-election is again urged
as essential in orders to nurse back
prosperity. This is the republican
gospel and Mr. Hoover today is its
prophet. If we, the people, re-elect
Mr. Hoover, we shall indorse this gos
pel and, logically if there be such
a thing aa logic in politics give our
imprimatur to the principle that
ours is or should be a one party gov
ernment.
For many years, covering the life
time of most of us, what the Eng
lish economist, Clay, has recently
complained of the identification of
government with "prosperity" for
selfish political advantage in the
struggle for power has been in the
United States the distinctive char
acteristic of the republican party.
The people have been educated for
at least two generations to expect
prosperity from republican adminis
trations, without holding it account
able for depressions, and to sanction
virtually all interferencee by euch
administrations with Industry and
commerce on "pclitican noneconomic
grounds."
It is not sound individualism; it
is not sound competition; it is not
sound capitalism, if we are to have
capitalism, and it is not common
sense. Yet In re-electing Mr. Hoover,
on his claim to being responsible for
prosperity only when it is coming in
and not when it i3 going out, the
American people will give their final
and irrevocable blessin to a now ex
ploded politico-economic superstition.

PEAY TELL E0V7 MUCH
W0ESE COULD IT BE?
President Hoover, in his Cleveland
speech, kept saying that things could
be much worse than they are.
At one point in South Dakota
corn is selling at 4 cents per bushel,
at another, 2 cents per bushel, and
at another farmers must pay 2 cents
per bushel to get their corn to mar
ket. Just how much worse could that
be?
Since President Hoover made his
De3 Moines rpeech, wheat has on
three different occasions gone to new
all-time low prices.
Jist how much worse can that be?
Certainly it has never before been
so bad.
"At "the Omah- rraln" mrfcet;' the
nearest outlet, oats ii not even quot
ed; in other words, it is not wanted
at any price.
Just how much worse can that be
Mr. Hoover?
A farmer on Ivlonday of thi3 we?k
came to Mitchell to find out what he
:ould get for some cows and he was
told that the price would be one
and a half cents per pound.
Just how much wore could that
be, Mr. Hoover?
Census reports of 1930 give em
ployment for hire in factories as the
occupation cf 9,550,000 persons
President Hoover admits that there
are over 10 million out of employ
ment now.
Just how much worse could that
be, Mr. Hoover?
President Hoovers decision to
spend the last month of the presi
dential campaign in an attempt to
intimidate voters by telling them
that things could be much worse, i3
one of the most high-handed efforts
to strong arm the voters of the Unit
ed States in all tho nation's history.
Every federal office holder and
there are tens of thousands of them
and every republican worker has
been coached to warn voters that if
Mr. Hoover is not re-elected, thing3
will be worse.
But how can they be worse
It is just a question of whether
voters will allow themselves to be
brow-beaten cr whether they will ex
ercise their right3 of franchise to
vote for their real convictions on
