Wallace Gets Them
•Coming And Going
Chicago Tribune: Secretary Wal
lace’s explanation of his connection
with the affairs of the Hi-Bred Corn
Co. of Grimes, la., is an extraordinary
document. It was intended to clear
him. In fact, his own words have
fortified the concision that our gen
eration has seen no more shocking
example of official misconduct than hist
Mr. Wallace is responsible for the
Government’s corn program, the a
vowed purpose of which is to reduce
the production of corn and thus raise
the price. Mr. Wallace has imposed a
tax upon consumers of corn and its
products. The money collected by the
Government from this tax is distrib
uted among farmers provided they
sign contracts with the Government
to plant fewer acres of corn.
The Hi-Bred Co. has advertised to
farmers that the corn which it sells
is so much more productive than
ordinary seed that the farmer who
plants it can sign the Government’s
contract, share in the tax distribution,
and still grow as much corn as he did
before. It has been estimated that
the Wallace seed will produce 5,000,000
more bushels of corn in Iowa than
would otherwise have been produced.
Needless to say, if these claims are
at all true, they should assure the
sale of all the seed that the Hi-Bred
Co. can offer and the seed company
can make its own price. Hi-Bred seed
sells for from $6.50 to $7.60 a bushel.
Ordinary seed corn brings from $1
to $2.50 a bushel.
Mr. Wallace’s explanation is two
fold. He says in the first place that
he is no longer the principal stock
holder in the company. His wife is
now the principal stockholder. That
is the kind of explanation which some
of Mr. Wallace’s associates in the
new deal have scorned when it was
offered in defense of the transfer of
securities to a wife for income tax
purposes. The attorney for the Grain
Futures Administration, one of Mr.
Wallace’s bureaus, is presently en
gaged in asserting that Mrs. Arthur
Cutten’s busines arrangements cannot
be distinguished from Arthur Cutten’s.
At the same moment Mr. Wallace
asks the country to believe that Mrs.
Wallace’s business affairs are of no
concern to him. The performance is
not wholly convincing!
Mr. Wallace goes on to say that
the Hi-Bred Co. produces so little seed
corn as yet that all of it planted in
Iowa this year will account at most
for only 1% per cent of the total corn
yield of the State. It is truly aston
ishing that Mr. Wallace can regard
this statement as an answer to any
thing. Mr. Wallace, as Secretary of
Agriculture, has initiated and put into
effect policies of acreage reduction
which cannot fail to stimulate the de
mand for the product which he, or,
as he would say, Mrs. Wallace has to
sell. The fact that the profits might
be larger (and no doubt will be larger
if the acreage control is continued)
does not obscure the fact that the
private fortune of the Wallaces is
benefiting from the public acts of Mr.
Wallace.
His positition morally is indis
tinguishable from that of a hypothet
ical Secretary of the Navy who might
initiate a policy of naval construction
at the moment when his wife was a
principal stockhoder in the Bethlehem
Steel Co.; or from that of a sup
positional Secretary of the Interior
who might order the construction of
immense reclamation dams at the
moment when his wife happened to
be a principal stockholder in strategic
ally placed cement mills.
Mr. Wallace was under no obliga
tions to become Cecretary of Agri
culture and under no obligation to re
main in office if he believed it the
duty of the Secretary to institute
policies which would prove of peculiar
benefit to him as a private citizen. His
endeavor to gloss over the gross im
propriety of his conduct is almost as
shocking as the impropriety itself.

O’NEILL, NEBRASKA
COUNTY CORN-HOG FIGURES
RECEIVED FROM LINCOLN
The Holt county corn-hog allotment
committeemen have had as diagree
able a job in the last ten days as
any three men in this county ever
tackled, individually or as a commit
tee. They have been cutting out over
statements in corn-hog contracts and
reducing the county total figures to
the level of the county quotas turned
out by the statisticians.
When the corn hog program began
last fall, the total figure citc*d for
the country as a whole was about 54,
000,000 head of hogs. Nebraska’s
share of the national figure was a
little less than 0,000,000 head. These
figures represented the year, 1932. The
corn-hog program set out to reduce
the number of hogs 25 per cent to
about 40,000,000 head.
No one questioned the figures for
the nation and the state at that time.
As the work on the individual con
tracts and in the county office pro
gressed, everyone forgot about the re
duction goal and shoved it into the
background. Announcement of the
county hog quotas was a jolt on the
chin to the allotment commitees who
have been working hard to get the
county figures right.
In their work of the last ten clays,
the Holt county allotment committee
have been first taking out hogs which
were probably farrowed before the
base period began and sold in 1932,
hogs which were bought as feeder
pigs and fed out and marketed with
those farrowed on the farms, old
sows marketed along with the light
pigs, hogs entered in the contract
without supporting evidence of sales,
and any other overstatment they
could find. They have assumed that
the overstatement was unintentional
and have tried to be fair with every
one. Because of lack of supporting
evidence they have probably taken out
some hogs which were actually raised
and marketed by the farmers, but the
total figures had to come down to the
county quota.
BENEFITS OF SUNSHINE
With the advent of summer, pru
dent housewives bring their murky,
yellowed household linens out for ex
posure once more to the bleaching,
whitening influence of the sunshine.
Scientific study has proved that the
direct rays of the sun’s light exert a
beneficial effect on fabrics that can be
obtained in no other manner. Drying
away from the influences of open air
and sunlight lacks the value to be had
from simmertime, outside drying.
“Wind and sun are the final two im
portant factors in the correct cleansig
of clothes,” says a home economic
expert, who adds: “Correct sorting
of articles and cleansing of the var
ious lots at the right temperature for
each in the family washing machine
are the necessary first steps.
“Direct sunshine fades non-fast fab
rics, but it is beneficial except for
that. Uncolored table linens, bedding
and other white goods are fresher and
sweeter through open-air , drying.
Colored fabrics get all the same bene
fits, the need being only to shelter
them from sharp, direct rays of the
sun.”

A farmer writes that he will be the
gladdest person in Missouri when the
depression is finally over. Not that
he’s hard pressed personally, but his
daughter brought her husband back
to the farm to live until things got
better, and he’s an efficiency expert.
Before the Pennsylvania primaries
the New Deal newspapers said that
the result in the Keystone State would
be a test of the New Deal. Since the

As a Democratic candidate for

express my appreciation for the
splendid efforts being put forth in
my behalf by my thousands of
friends in this section of Nebras

Bpare no effort in waging one of
the mpst vigorous campaigns ever
conducted in this district. I realize
more keenly than anyone else the
excellent work being carried on to
assure my nomination, which at
this time has proven so effective
that I await the result of the pri
