E00SEVELT The great admiration the people of the United States have for the name "Roosevelt" is shown by the manner in which the demo crats are supporting the governor of New York for nomination as a candidate for president. Franklin D. Roosevelt is a second removed cou.il n of the late President The odore Roosevelt. GASOLINE PRICES The gasoline question becomes most serious. The other day leaving Los Angeles, we purchased 2 9 cents a gallon gasoline for The price kept increasing as we proceeded on our Utah way until a price of 17 cents was reached in Salt Lake City. Journeying further on towards Idaho, we paid 18c at the last station in Utah and then a few miles across the Idaho border we found signs of fering the game gasoline for 24 cents. People cannot help but feel something is wrong with a government which will allow giant oil concerns a monopoly to the detriment of the public. Up in Idaho one day last July we paid 19 cents a gallon for gasoline The next morning the same sta tion carried a sign of 25c per gallon. What is there in legitimacy that will allow such a wholesali robbery. This same gasoline waf selling at 3c per gallon at Tulsa Oklahoma. The public feels there should, be some way to overcome these injustices, but are powerless in themselves. RED CROSS .... Back in Iowa they even have Cue way the first of March, with sap running up, a cold spell came on and the ground was frozen to a depth of 15 Inches, in the northeastern part of the state. With much stock in a starving condition, the Red Cross bought baled straw and hay and shipped In for the relief of the farmers in destitution. FARM LOANS Lee Johnson, agricultural com mlssloner for the state of Idaho, as most has expressed himself doubtful of the outcome of th farm loans being authorized by congress, and whether or not they will prove the kind of help needed. Especially has he criticised the "seed" movement, which requires that the wife sign the mortgage with her husband in pledging their crop to the government. WHEAT During a recent discussion it: congress of the government owned wheat, the question was asked "What is wheat for?'' It was an swered by one congressman that it, was best used to relieve hunger. Up until that time, according to one paragrapher, most of the members had considered wheat as something to gamble with, oi pay storage on, or something which farmers should not sow so much of; or something with which to make a profit on a "board of trade." And thus it goes. What the farmer knows about wheat it that it is always at the lowest market quotation when he Is offering it for sale, but when his bins are empty the price goes up.
