The expanding Inof the federal government on the lives of divlduals through- 1 e d New Deal out tlie D n gtateg SU(denl, has become a matter that Is attracting attention, and more and more repercussions are to be noted In the National Capital. Some observer tell me they think it is an Indication that the multifarious agencies that have been set up under the New Deal are at last In full operation and their effects are now reaching to the grass roots of the country. However that may be, It can be stated without equivocation that the alphabetical soup (the various administrations and boards and commissions known only by initials) are making their presence felt for better or for worse in the lives of Individuals. I ctnnot agree with the exaggerated assertion by a leading Republican politician that we are subject to Hitler decrees from a hundred different sources, but there seems little doubt of vast power being wielded by the various New Deal agencies. For Instance, Harry nopkins, federal relief administrator, has decreed that there will be no drought relief funds for cattle owners supplied by the federal emergency relief administration unless the holders of any mortgages on those cattle agree not to foreclose on such mortgages. And, be It said, the mortgage holder who refuses to make such an agreement Is up the stump. He can take the cattle, of course, when the mortgage matures, but If the mortgages have many months to run, the cattle are liable to die of starvation in the meantime. Without attempting to decide the merit of such a policy on the part of the federal government, the illustration shows the power that Is wielded from Washington. The Reconstruction Finance corporation hns been exercising its Influence with banks for some time. While RFC officials Insist they are not attempting to control policies of banks. It nevertheless remains as a fact that they are exercising voting power in the boards of directors of numerous banking Institutions. They went so far In the case of a great Chicago bank as to insist that the man they selected be elected by the board as Its chairman. In addition, through the Federal Deposit Insurance corporation, the bank policies on loans are closely watched, and this is happening at a time when the President and some of his advisers are strongly urging the banks to make loans. fluence 1 well-know- n Under NRA and the numerous codes, various terms and conditions are laid down for business Typical of HowCodelVorks Practices. is a Here typical case: the code for the graphic arts industries hns a provision prohibiting extension of credit for longer than two years. That la, a printing plant owner or publisher of a country newspaper or anyone else wanting to buy a linotype machine had been allowed sometimes as much as five years In which to pay for expensive equipment of that kind. Now, however, he must pay for It within two years or the manufacturer w 111 be a code violator by selling it on a long term basis. Thus, It Is to be seen that the code exerts an Influence on what might be called the Innocent bystander. The country publisher cannot save up gold with which to pay for the machinery because he would be a criminal to have gold under present law. Again declaring that I am not discussing the merit of the proposition, it remains as a fact that the federal trade commission Is exerting an Influence on the type of Investments Individuals make as a result of its control over the Issue and sale of shares of stinks or bonds. Of course, the commission cannot reach a corporation that Is doing business only in Its home state, but the larger corporations engage In business on a broader scale than that and the bulk of shares and bonds, therefore, must not be Issued until the federal trade securities commissions experts have determined the facts about the corporal ion that offers them. It is a mutter of record, of course, that numerous corporations have sold purely blue sky stock, but the point I am attempting to make Is that here is another federal Influence on the lives of individuals.

Tlie state farm bureau tax program would raise Income tax rates, lower exemptions, eliminate offsets nnd would levy a gross wholesale excise tax. The farm bureau legal department already Is drafting bills that conform with the bureaus taxation program, and these bills will be presented at the next legislature. Farm bureau officials also have announced that candidates for the house and senate who favor the farm bureau program can expect the support of the organization. SALT LAKE CITY, UT.

The program which the President Initiated when he started the Civilian Conservation corps embodies a definite scheme for restoring forests that have been cutover and constitute nothing more than waste land ; It provides for selective cutting of trees In lumbering operations, and it Is designed to create In the minds of citizens the necessity for sustaining our forests against the time when, at the present rate of destruction, there would be no more lumber. I was surprised when the forestry service told me that forest land was Just about of the entire area in the United States. Rut the forestry officials reminded me at the same time that unless there Is a serious conservation movement, there Is only enough timber In sight to provide lumber for about thirty years more. Originally, It will be remembered, there was about 40 per cent of the entire continent in virgin timber. Mr. Roosevelt Is proposing legislation, most of which will be ready for the session of congress meeting In January, 1935, to provide mathe efforts chinery for of the federal and state governments and for gaining the of private land owners In restoring growing trees. one-fourt- h many Washington observers are wondering how goon the federal trade com- Headed for mission and NRA are going t0 lock a Clash liorns. The two agencies are certainly headed In the direction of a clash. It Is generally conceded here that sooner or later General Johnsons NRA codes that establish monopolies in various fields of commerce and Industry are going to be made the subject of pithy comment from federal trade commission circles. lIov soon it will come, or what form the disagreement will take, of course, can be only a matter of conjecture now. It is necessary to recall the basis upon which the federal trade commission was created in order to get a clear understanding of the clash that is to be expected. First of all, the creators of the federal trade commission idea had in mind the idea of a federal agency that could he watching big business all of the time. Where It found unfair prhc-ticesmothering of the little independent units, and such other conbusiditions as some nesses use, the commission can, and does, cite them publicly. It goes after the facts la public hearings and exposes the practices. It also issues orders directing the offending businesses to eliminate the objectionable practices. If they choose to disregard the commissions orders, the matter Is turned over to prosecuting officers of the government and tougher penalties may be A good s, sharp-shootin- g imposed. Now, the national recovery act and General Johnsons codes have gone a long way toward making the commission's guardianship of little business nil in its effect The codes permit monopolies, or rather, the codes provide under the recovery act that the anti trust laws shall not apply to those businesses signing the terms and conditions of the codes. It is seen, therefore, that the provisions of the federal trade commission act can hardly be enforced. That Is to say, the commission cannot order a business to cease doing something thnt General Johnson's codes declare to be quite all right. Thus far, the commission has kept reasonably quiet about the thing. It is true, however, that its members have thoughts about the situation that would make interesting reading If they were to be expressed openly. The commission lias kicked about a few of the codes in a mild sort of way. Its criticisms have been tempered, it Is said, by the fact that none knows exactly how to go about effecting a reconciliation of the diverse positions enacted into law In ttie recovery act and the federal trade commission act. Apparently there have been no Instructions from the White House and so the commission Is looked upon merely ns drifting until such time as an administration policy is framed. Few observers, and few Important leaders ns well, are willing to attempt a prediction ns to the outcome. One reason is that NRA is under fire from several direelions, ami I believe It cannot lie said to what extent the general principles of NRA are going to become Imbedded In our industrial structure. Government officials are becoming more and more concerned about the growth of smuggling and bootlegging of liquor. A determined effort is being made to cheek the illicit trade, hut t he optimism by oihei.ils eliar.ed with the does not ring very loud. Indeed, the talk I hour In u good many quar'ers is that there must be some revision downward of the import duties and the local ami slate taxes on liquor. g bf os win Niwnaper Union, unveiled by the representatives of as many England, as 74 national flags were William of Shakespeare s birth. 370th anniversary countries during the celebration of the Scene In Stratford-on-Avon- , Palestine Now Has Modern Metropolis Tel Aviv, Boom City, Celebrates Birthday.

Tel Aviv, a thriving modern metropolis of nearly 70,000 population, did not exist in 1909. Its site was then ouly a deserted area of rolling sand dunes, north of the port of Jaffa. Tel Aviv celebrated its twenty-fiftbirthday with a trade fair to which nine foreigu nations and scores of commercial concerns sent exhibits. The exposition, known as the Third International Levant fair, was given a permanent site north of the city between larkon river and the Mediterranean. Last year the Levant fair drew visitors from Syria, Egypt, Transjordan, Persia, and Iraq as well as Palestine. d h sociological works bequeathed by the late Asher Guinsberg, and the Central Library o. the Cultural Committee of the Jewish Labor Federation, with nearly 100,000 volumes In Hebrew, Yiddish and European languages, dealing with sociology and economics, science and agriculture.
