After that day. Americans can expect a knock on the door, an enumerator asking personal and impersonal questions. Some citizens will be surprised that Uncle Sam wants to know about bathroom facilities, the mortgage on the farm, and whether or not they put the cat out at night. But it is all In the name of good census. For a complete picture of the American scene, and to more accurately weigh the needs of our people, the census must be comprehensive and adequate. William L. Austin, director of the census, sent the following letter to the editor of the St. Louis Your editorial entitled Amend the Census Act on March 8 contained the following: , But this years census would go much further. It proposes to .ask intimate and frequently embarrassing questions about income, debts, how money is spent, what is left after bills are paid, size of the bath tub, how much is owed on the furniture and other' gossipy items. The 1940 census questions do not contain any inquiry on how money is spent; they contain no inquiry on what is left after bills are paid; they contain no inquiry on the size of the bath tub: and they contain no inquiry on how much is owed on the furniture." g tax ia the power to destroy.

In letter to Senator who has led the" against census questions in con- . , i Uncle Sams advice to take roots is as good today as was his advice to move westward 100 years ago. Farmers with a touch of gypsy in their hearts must lean) to realize this. Farm lands deteriorate when they are worked by people who have no personal interest in them. Land that could be kept fertile for years to iorae under the care of a rooted tenant or owner is likely be worked to death by a series of migrants. The best kind of an agricultural economy is one that is stable, dependable. Under the scientific supervision of the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the agricultural colleges, soil that has been depleted may be restored but only if the man who works the farm is interested enough in it to accept the advice and to coddle it as something he intends to use for the rest of his life as a source of income. t' The Washington WASHINGTON any secret that It is no longer Jim Farley is definitely lined up with the anti-thir- d termers. But not generally known is the fact that Jim actualwith Roosely plans a show-dow- n velt regarding the Presidents own and will come showdown this plans, before the Democratic convention at Chicago. Jim made up his mind to do this about the same time he issued his recent Massachusetts bombshell labeled, My name will be presented to the national conven- tion. Democratic insiders had known for some time that Farley was cold to the idea of the President running again, but he a positive commitment. He always declared that he was confident the President had no intention to seek reelection. In the past month, with Roosevelt slates being entered in various states under obvious White House guidance, Farleys aloofness side-stepp- hoshas hardened to tility. From being on the fence he has slid under definitely to the ut group. d Not only will Jim aggressively fight a third term, but he is prepared to denounce it publicly. However, he will not talk out until he has had a showdown with Roosevelt, at which time he will insist or "no on a categoric yes answer.

Go West, young man, said Mr. Greeley, and they went thousands of them. It all started when New Englanders began to get restless, wondered what the country' looked like on the other side of the Appalachians. They trekked into the western reserve, and then down to the Mississippi valley. And finally wandered out across the plains, found the Pacific. Uncle Sam felt differently about the matter, then be- cause conditions were different Free land was offered to hardy souls who would settle in the new lands. The coun- try needed to be built up, tied together. Its all over now. Geographical pioneering has ended. The covered wagon people have fulfilled their mission. The migrants of today cant push the countrys boundaries westward and its no good just bouncing around. The Name If there is no reply, or an unsatisfactory one. then Jim is prepared to express his opposition publicly. He is aware that such a statement would play Into the hands of the GOP and that it may mean finnle for him politically, but he feels that he owes it to the Democratic Party and the country frankly to state his views. The Massachusetts statement was Farleys opening gun in his plan to smoke out Roosevelt. From now on, regardless of their close ties and their still warm personal friendship (as far as Farley is concerned), they arc two rival candidates. NOTE Farley was absolutely sincere when he declared that he was "in no combination with anyone. Recent reports that he was secretly allied with Garner are unfounded. Privately Jim thinks Garner is getting nowhere fast.

Its other statue is that of Senator George L. Shoup, a pioneer who was the first Governor of Idaho when the territory was admitted to statehood in July, 1890.

Elder was the man who received the funds from the Two Per Cent Club (by which state employees gave the party 2 per cent of their salary), and he also knew or the Treasury thinks he knew where these funds were disbursed. It is the claim of the McNutt group thai while large funds were received, they were all paid out for political purposes, and for this reason no income taxes were payable. In fact, McNutt himself, then state employee, did not even file an income tax return. However, the Treasury insists on getting details on how the funds were spent and Bo Elder is the key to this puzzle. They are waiting for him to talk, and he, in turn, says he will not be made the scapegoat. Meanwhile, McNutt forces, jittery ever delay and anxious to nush the campaign of their candidate, demand that the Treasury either exonerate or indict A break in the present impasse is coming soon.

As far as can be seen at present, any trade expansion that may take place will continue to be highly selective that is, it will take place only in certain fields. Thus, stimulating effects in some lines will be offset by further obstacles in others. It seems inevitable, however, that the whole world will be staggering under the burdens and dislocations imposed by the war and will need every aid and encouragement that can possibly be given to the resumption of normal international economic relations. ... A woman cannot be president of the United States, emphatically states Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt in her article appearing currently in a magazine. As things stand today, even if an emotional wave swept a woman into this office, her election would be valueless, as she could never hold her following long enough to put over her program,1 said she.
