Senator Guffey j
Here is a little advice to an unemployed, disabled veteran who wrote
to Sen. Joseph F Guffey, Democrat, of Pennsylvania, whose “coal indus
try NRA” bill which bore his name has been declared unconstitutional by
the United States Supreme Court. The vet wanted a WPA job. The reply,
on stationery of the United States senate and signed by Guffey’s secre
tary, tells the needy veteran to get the blessing of the local Democratic
politicians if he wants federal work relief. (Reproduced by permission

Canada Rushes Cattle to U. S. A.
The Roosevelt scarcity program, which caused cattle imports to<
Jump from 74,658 head in 1933 to 364,623 in 1935, has been a boon to
Canada which has Joined the other cattle raising nations of the world
to rush products into the American market. While feed scarcity, through
destruction of oats ordered by the New Deal continues in the Middle
West, plump Canadian cattle are shown here arriving at the Buffalo,
N. Y., end of the Peace bridge from Fort Erie, Can.
Let’s See You Arrest
Landon, Mr. Cummings
CHICAGO.—The attempt of the
Roosevelt administration to fright
en small store keepers from show
ing cards calling attention to the
amount of invisible tax items con
cealed in the cost of nearly every
thing the average family needs is
an indication that the question of
taxation and waste is of paramount
importance in this campaign.
This statement was made by
Chairman John Hamilton of the Re
publican National committee, who
asked Attorney General Cummings
what he intended to do to Gov. Lan
don because he said in his Buffalo
speech:
“We cannot buy a stitch of cloth
ing without the government’s taking
in taxes a part of the money we
pay out We cannot buy an ounce
of food at our grocery stores with
out being taxed to support the gov
ernment. We cannot go to a mov
ie, or to a baseball game, or ride
in an automobile without this invisi
ble tax arm of the government
reaching out and taking a part of
the money we spend.
“These hidden taxes — federal,
state and local—amount to about 20
cents out of every dollar we spend.
In the case of the Federal Govern
ment alone they amount to more
than $5 a month for every family."
Insurance Congress hears
Roosevelt Financial Policy
NEW YORK.—Alarmed by the fi
nancial policies of the Roosevelt
; administration which "seriously im
1 pair income necessary for the se
curity of life insurance reserves"
the National Fraternal Congress of
America recently went on record
as opposed to these policies.
Representing five million holders
of fraternal insurance policies in
America valued at five billion dol
lars, the congress passed the reso
lution without a dissenting vote:
"Unless the administration’s poli
cies are changed or stopped, the
< millions of policyholders in this
country will suffer irreparable In*
j Jury."
Argentine Corn Floods
Docks on Pacific Coast
LOS ANGELES, Cal.—Corn from
the Argentine, at the rate of 20 mil
lion pounds a week, is coming into
Los Angeles harbor, Tom Erwin,
former president of the Los Ange
les County farm bureau, said here.
Twenty tramp steamers are now
under charter to bring 150,000 tons
of Argentine corn to San Pedro in
the next three months, bringing the
total since Jan. 1, 1935, to 10,714,
286 bushels, Mr. Erwin said.
“At the current price of Argen
tine corn delivered at the Harbor,
this represents a loss to Americans
producing and handling corn of $23,
571,427,” he said.
“A Greek tramp steamer, the
Mount Cynthos, last week unloaded
7,200 tons of corn from the Argen
tine at the Harbor. The 257,155
bushels in this one shipment would
have required 10,791 acres of Amer
ican farm land to produce and
would have given employment to
259 persons.
With Mr. Roosevelt’s crop cur
tailment in effect, imports of com
last year were 123 times as large
as in 1932.
Fair Permits WPA Booth
But Not GOP Exhibit
SPENCER, IOWA.—Although the
WPA maintained an exhibit at the
County fair here, the Republican
National committee was refused
permission to show, within the
grounds, its traveling display of
imported foreign farm and food
products such as have been flood
ing the country under the authority
of the Roosevelt reciprocal trade
agreements.
Why Not an "FFF”?
“Farley, Folly and Failure.”
Butter and Egg Market
Twenty - three thousand people
were denied the opportunity for self
support because of the importation
trom foreign countries of 34,199,683
pounds of milk, butter and eggs dur
ing 1935. The tariff policies of the
Roosevelt administration were re
sponsible.

Farm Security
Wants Ecpnomy of Plenty,
Not Scarcity; Promises
Drouth Aid.
DES MOINES, Iowa.—.“I
believe the American farmer
should be a lord on his own
farm,” Gov. Alf M. Landon of
Kansas told a capacity crowd
at the State Fair grounds here,
in a speech that was a com
plete assertion of his belief in
the economics of plenty, as op
posed to the Roosevelt admin
istration’s economics of scarcity.
Gov. Landon’s solution of what he
termed a “national problem" and
not simply a “farm problem” was
founded directly upon the Republi
can party’s platform. He pledged
himself to support of the family type
farm and to cash benefit payments
limited to the production level of
such a farm, to give agriculture an
equal footing with industries pro
tected by the tariff. He promised
to take care of farmers hit by
drouth.
He committed himself to the ful
fillment of all contracts made with
farmers by the present administra
tion. He promised to call upon the
statesmen of both parties to work
with agricultural leaders in the
preparation of new legislation, if
he is elected. And going beyond
the bounds of the platform, he ad
vocated the fullest possible devel
opment of crop insurance.
Pledges Benefit Payments.
“All the farmer asks,” said Gov.
Landon, “is that his income be on a
parity with the rest of the nation,
that he may enjoy the same stand
ard of life, that his home be made
secure, and that he be able to build
up a reserve for the future.
“I know that these aims cannot
be realized overnight. Miracles are
no more common in Washington
than they are in Des Moines. To
get a real solution we must have a
well-rounded program.
“If I am elected,” Gov. Landon
promised, “I shall fulfill all out
standing obligations made by the
present administration with the
American farmer. By this I mean
that those who have carried out
their end of the bargain will re- j
ceive the checks due them.
“Those of our farmers hard hit
by the drouth will he generously
provided for until they can raise a
crop. This means the continuation
of relief checks!”
Would Offset Foreign Competition.
Farmers producing a normally
exportable surplus of such staple
products as hogs, wheat, cotton and
tobacco are handicapped by tariff
protections which are effective only
when there is a shortage, Gov. Lan
don said.
“The Republican party,” declared
Gov. Landon, “proposes to offset
these disadvantages by the pay
ment of cash benefits. These cash
benefits will be limited to the pro
duction level of the family type
farm.
"As part of the plan for removing
the depression effect of surpluses I
shall propose an amendment to the
federal warehousing act so that re
serves of feed, such as corn, can
be carried on the farm.
“Under this amendment the farm
er who stores his grain on the farm,
in such a way as to make it insur
able, will be entitled to a federal
warehouse receipt. He will then be
eligible to borrow from any bank
ing agency. He will enjoy the same
credit facilities as are available to
the owners of grain stored in termi
nal markets. The grain would be
stored on the farm, ready for use
or sale at any time the farmer
cares to take up the loan.”
Suggests Crop Insurance.
Gov. Landon then took up the
matter of crop insurance, upon
which Kansas Republican farm
leaders have been working for some
time. "We realize that there are
difficulties,” he said. "But insur
ance companies are writing poli
cies today covering risks that they
did not consider feasible a few
years ago."
Here Gov. Landon declared that
he could not agree with a policy
like that of the AAA, which attempts
permanent control of American ag
riculture from Washington. "I can
not agree with he President,” he
said. “I believe the American farm
er should be 'a lord on his own
farm’.”
He charged that the administra
tion, after four years, was still
without a workable plan for agricul
ture. "It’s right back where it
started from!” be said. “Soil con
servation-real conservation—is •
subject close to my heart”
Gov. Landon reminded his listen
ers that two years ago he had sug
gested to the Roosevelt administra
tion a comprehensive program of
joint federal and state action, but
that it had not been adopted.
Gov. Landon said the country’s
34 billion dollar debt under Presi
dent Roosevelt "can be paid only
by taxation if this is to remain an
honest government Taxes add to
the cost of everything and the farm
er is so situated that he cannot
escape their penalty. Further, the
taxes reduce the ability of the con
sumer to buy the products of the
farm. The Republican party pro
poses to put an end to the present
waste and extravagance.”
