COMPULSORY FARM LEGISLATION For the interest of the Orange county farmer particularly, but also, generally for the interest of readers of the Gazette, we allude today to the discussion, of last Thursday, in the United States Senate, concerning the so-called farm relief bill. The bill (S.2787) states that it is intended "to provide an adequate and balanced flow of the major agricultural commodities in interstate and foreign commerce, and for other purposes." Royal Copeland, Senator from New York was speaking, when Arthur Vanderburg, Senator from Michigan, was given permission to interrupt, in order that the following comment might be made: "In the debate the other day, I enquired whether or not a farmer could be put in jail for failing to keep the appropriate records and to respond to all the necessities and requirements of a bill which not 6 out of 96 of the Senators can understand; and I was told that he could not be put in jail. The fact remains that he can be taken into a criminal court and convicted of a misdemeaner, and fined $100, and if he does not pay his fine he can be put in jail. Mr. Copeland agreed to that, as he did also agree to the following statement by Senator Vanderberg: Therefore, farmers can be put in jail under this bill if they do not keep the records that Secretary Wallace asks for." necessities and requirements of a bill which not 6 out of 96 of the Senators can understand; and I was told that he could not be put in jail. The fact remains that he can be taken into a criminal court and convicted of a misdemeanor, and fined $100, and if he does not pay his fine he can be put in jail. Mr. Copeland agreed to that, as he did also agree to the following statement by Senator Vanderberg: "Therefore, farmers can be put in jail under this bill if they do not keep the records that Secretary Wallace asks for." If that bill is not an encroachment in the rights of American citizen; if it is not a perfect example of theoretical collectivist legislation, then there never was, never could be any encroachment or any collectivism. There may well be a proper method of legislating away the American farmer's present economic headache. But it is not in this present bill, which turns over the power of life and license—in the field of agriculture—to another commission, the members of which probably could not know too much about agriculture anyway. The MARCH OF TIME Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine GENERAL FEELING— WASHINGTON — Anxious to persuade the great utilities industry to cut loose with a big construction program stimulating to heavy industry, President Roosevelt last week summoned to the White House Chairman Floyd Leslie Carlisle of the Consolidated Edison and Niagara Hudson Power companies, and President Wendell Lewis Willkie of Commonwealth & Southern Corp. Emerging after his talk with the president, Powerman Carlisle blandly declared that "the fears of government competition are very much lessened," announced that his companies would spend $112,000,000 for new construction in the next two years. With a Grade A business recession on his hands, this announcement was just what the president wanted. But it had no significance because Carlisle's companies are intra-state organizations unaffected by federal "death sentence" on utility holding companies, are largely exempt from other sections of the Public Utility act of 1935, are far from TVA competition — and Carlisle planned to spend the $112,000,000 anyway. Willkie, the power industry's spokesman in dealing with the New Deal, is head of a billion-dollar holding company with a huge chunk of operating properties in the center of invading TVA's sphere. Although no record of his talk with the president was made public, Willkie appeared willing to agree on his own account to rate structures based on the president's "prudent investment" basis, asked for a fair break on government competition and a modification of the "death sentence" for holding companies. The president seemed to have brushed over Willkie's arguments to convince him that the utilities really had nothing to fear, the powerman tried to convince the president that investors did have very real fears, but both agreed that utilities could profitably spend in the next year perhaps as much as $1,500,-000,000.

But Franklin Roosevelt equipped with a temperament to which crises are almost a necessity, held his press conference early last week in the Oval study next his bedroom where, in high good humor he told an audience of ten correspondents which both had given him trouble this week before: No. 3 hold, starboard side." Leaving congress to struggle along in Washington, he boarded a train a few days later, started for Florida to embark on a week's fishing trip in the Caribbean.

When' Michigan's Arthur Vandenburg inquired how much it would cost the government to pay farmers the benefits proposed by the bill, and where the money was to come from, Agriculture Committee Chairman Ellison ("Cotton Ed") Smith replied that "an effort to benefit agriculture ought not to be arbitrarily limited." Vandenberg: "That is a very noble sentiment to which I might subscribe. I should also say that a member of the senate can carefully vote intelligently upon this bill when he does not know what he is authorizing except such sums as are necessary." As are necessary for what? . . What sums are necessary? Is it a billion or two billion dollars?" Smith: "Why, good God, if we had known that, we would have said so. We do not know and you do not know." Vandenberg: "No, I do not and I am trying to find out." Texas' Senator Tom Connally: "If the senator from Michigan will tell . . . when it is going to rain and when the sun is going to shine and when we are going to have a drought—" Vandenberg: "Or when we are going to have a balanced budget." Still waiting for their own farm bill last week, house members had nothing to do except continue listening to oratory on subjects ranging from neutrality to social security.
