A group of members from the
prairie states are holding weekly
meetings on the Massingale cost-of
production bill and the Lemke farm
refinance bill. Massingale told the
Third district representative that
he will not object to changing the
title of his bill to "The Parity pay
ment bill.” He believes he can get
more votes for the bill with the
new title. Each petition to get
each of these bills on the floor for
consideration now has over 100 sig
natures. 218 signatures are need
ed. Both authors of these bills
made this statement to their
friends:
"Let us give the farmer cost of
production, and refinance his
farm indebtedness without sub
sidies. This need not cost the
government one cent. Remem
ber that the solution of the
farm problem is not a demo
cratic or republican problem,
it’s a non-partisan problem and
we want all of you to attend
our meetings.”
Ed O’Neill of the Farm Bureau
believes we have to vote about
$600,000,000 for parity payments
for 1941. Secretary Wallace be
lieves we have to have a stream
lined processing tax to make the
program self-liquidating. The
Prairie States Group in the House
thinks the cost-of production bill
and the refinance bill plus help from
nature to give us rain and good
crops would solve the entire prob
lem. Until something is done
about the three proposals most
farm district members seem willing
to give the present problem a fair
trial and vote parity payment mon
ey out of the treasury.
Hundreds of names on petitions
continue arriving usking the farm
ers in our district be given the
same corn and grain acreage in
1940 as 1939. The Secretary of
Agriculture has already denied this
plea. He feels we should turn to
sorghums and other drouth resist
ing grains. Anyway, the 1940 pro
gram is made up and no change can
be expected now.
Some experts here feel that Uncle
Sam is about 30% involved in the
European War. These experts ad
mit that the public opinion now is
such that we will not get involved
in the war physically and that we
may not send soldiers and sailors
to foreign shores to fight, but, un
officially, we are in it through fin
ance, material of various kinds, and
even in shipping. Sympathy for
little Fnland is general through
out the House membership. If
congressmen could do something
to help Finland defeat Russia with
out involving this country in an
other foreign war, they would not
hesitate to do it without much de
bate. But they seem worried about
the proposed government loan to
Finland. Some feel this would be
an official act which may lead di
rectly to our participation in a for
eign war. Many feel that much en
couragement should be given the
Hoover movement to collect money
from private sources for Finnish
relief and in no way involve the
government, officially.

Nebraska’s beer tax collections for 1939 averaged
more than $1,356.00 a day—brought the state a total
of $495,242.80. That’s why thinking Nebraskans are
enthusiastic about the State s brewing industry and
the self-regulatory program that is safeguarding it!
Over 90% of the state beer taxes collected in Nebras
ka are used for public welfare work. Every Nebraskan
who buys beer can help us protect this important
revenue by supporting only those retailers who oper
ate in the public interest—those who observe the law
and refuse to permit abuses.
