CONG. MILLER'S LETTER
(Continued from, page one)
square miles, almost exactly that
of the States of Connecticut and
Rhode Island combined, but with
a population of only 9.637, is the
center of a great ranching coun
try. Tiie people are ranchers, far
mers, and the kind of people who
inhabit the small towns of the
mid-west. They are the food pro
ducers of the country. They are
the ones who have seen their sons
and employees drained off into
the armed forces and enticed by
high wages into the war indus
tries, their need for farm and
ranch equipment given, little con
sideration and their products put
under ceilings. But in the face of
all these things they have shown
their patriotism in the best way
they know how, by overscribing
their bond quota. Here is a rec
ord worthy the notice of the
whole nation.
United Nations Relief and Re
habilitation Administration
This legislation provides for a
sort of Community Chest Fund in
which 44 nations agree to take
part. It is true that the United
States will carry more than half
of the burden, but after the last
World War we carried nearly
100%. One good feature of this
measure is that the surplus goods,
supplies and equipment left in
Europe and elsewhere can be used
as credits against our billion three
hundred million dollar obligation.
There are many things about this
bill I do not like, but I supported
it because of the great need for
assistance and relief that will
arise in the liberated countries.
This bill is one of those I con
sider 51% good and 49% bad.
Soulier Vole
I expect to support a bill which
will permit 100% voting for our
soldiers. A federal. voting bill be
ing pushed by Tne administration
allows the soldiers about a one
third vote. Good government be
gins at home. If it is important
to make it possible for the sol
diers to vote, arid I think it is im
portant, then they should be per
mitted to vote for state, county
and local officials as well. The
statement that it is impossible to
distribute and collect the ballots
of the various states is not borne
out by the facts. The Army and
Navy have plenty of air transpor
tation to accomplish this. If this
were done there would be no dan
ger that the result would be held
up by the question of constitu
tionality. We must remember this:
the federal government has only
the powers given it by the people
as set forth in the Constitution.
The pOW#r to conduct elections
has not been gi(hm to the federal
government. Therefore, any citi
zen hasi the right to challenge the
participation of the federal gov
ernment in the elections, by an
appeal to the courts. Such an ap
peal would delay the determina

Interesting Food Facts
At a recent hearing before the
Senate Agriculture Sub-commit
tee Dr. Howard R. Tolley of the
Department of Agriculture ex
hibited a chart which disclosed
that during 1941 farm families
having incomes under $500 drank
57.2% of milk prescribed by the
basic food allotment plant stand
ard 550' pounds per person), those
earning $500 to $1000 consumed
66.9%, and those making $1000 to
$1500 averaged 74.9. Figures for
non-farm families of the same in
come levels averaged 32.5%, 54.6%
and 65.6% respectively. All groups
demonstrated an insufficiency in
tomatoes, citrus fruits and dry
beans and peas. In general the
conclusion was that there are
“real serious deficiencies” in food
consumption, especially in low in
come groups.
