I There ls a growing recognition among business and professional people that the farm problem is truly a national problem. Time was when the farmers worries were summed up something like this by those not on the farm: "So the farmer is complaining again, is he? Or perhaps we should say he is complaining yet, for it seems he never gets through. "Well, let him go ahead and howl. Were getting used to his cries about low prices, insufficient means, and hardships. His lot isn't so bad. He has just acquired the habit of beefing, and no matter how great his prosperity is, he continues to beef. There are bigger problems than those of the farmer. And so few people have lent an ear to the agricultural demands. A senator anxious for votes may have loosed some promises or sympathetic observations. But business men in general didnt take the howls of the farmers so seriously. Today, however, farm indebted-nescontinues to increase. Mortgages pile higher. Our own state our own valley aro examples of this. Farms are being split among family members, and the smaller units rail never hope to support more and more people.

MACHINES AS TAXPAYERS Ever since the first monarch thought up the system taxation to keep the wheels of government greased, the peoples enthusiasm toward taxes has been about equal to that toward smalljKix and scarlet fever. No one has yet devised the jterfect method of taxation, and no one ever will. To be perfect, it must be painless. And taxes, in whatever form they are levied, of are never completely innocuous. Senator Joseph C. OMahoney (Dem., Wyo.), however, has a scheme he thinks would go a lung way toward solving unemployment and establishing an equitable tax basis. Senator OMahoney has it figured out like this; Men who work pay taxes. When machines come along and replace the human workers, the jobless men are no longer able to pay taxes. Therefore, tax the machines, in projmr- tion to the number of jobs they are taking away. Regardless of what may be the fate of Senator proposal, it must be borne in mind that unemployment is a cancer that has eaten too deeply into American economic life to be destroyed by mere readjustment of the tax structure. No matter how they may be disguised, taxes will have to total precisely what they add up to now, if not more. And no matter how they may be they will ultimately be paid by the same peoare who ple paying them now. Senator OMahoney would grant tax credits to employers who used more human workers, fewrer machines. The idea would be to halt the inroads the machine is making at the expense of employes. Perhaps it would work in some cases, but it can scarcely be expected to remove the scourge of unemployment. The development of new machines represents progress, and you cant stop that.

ALLEN WASHINGTON There is a very good reason why newspaper cables regarding the peace mission of Under Secretary of State Welles are so meagre. He isn't saying anything about his conversations to a soul except the President of the United States. Not even Secretary of State Hull is in on all of the Welles reports, though he gets them second-han- d from Roosevelt. Virtually no other member of the State Department knows anything about the progress Welles is making. Confidential fact is that before Welles departed, he worked out a private code with the President. This code consists of numbers, so that Welles wires back a number and only the President knows what that number means. Thus it is impossible for the Nazis, British or anyone else to break down the code. Welles code cables are sent to Secretary Hull, who, in turn, takes them to the President, who personally decodes them. After Welles conversation with Hitler, he cabled back a single number, and Mr. Hull took the number over to the White House, gave it to the President. The President did a little figuring, then said: "Doesn't look so good, does it? NOTE The Welles reports axe so brief that obviously he and the President are counting chiefly on personal conversations after his re- FDR AND TIIE LENSES Remarked Tony Muto, newsreel impresario, of the President of the United States: "That guy could wear a gunny sack and nobody would know it. He's got a personality that steals the show. His facial mannerisms are dramatic, and nobody sees anything else." Roosevelt was not wearing a gunny sack, but a black velvet smoking jacket when he and Henry Wallace were broadcasting from the "radio room of the White House the other evening. The occasion was the AAA dinners for farmers throughout the country, and the President, a veteran in such matters. was offering his secretary of Agriculture a little good humored coai hing before they began to speak. He explained to Henry that the newsreels would use three lenses during each talk - a small lens for a distance shot, a larger lens for middle range, and finally a big lens for a close-up- . "That's the lens you've got to watch, Henry," said the President.. That hig one is tne ooudoir lens; it shows up all the blemishes!" NOTE The President also has the actor's faculty of being a "quick study. He reads his speech once or twice in advance, then while the camera is on him he appears to be speaking without notes. Actually he takes a quick look at every line or two. CAPITAL CHAFF Alicia Guggenheim, daughter of N. Y. News Publishere Joe Patterson, may start a liberal paper in snooty, blase Long Island. .

WPA BUDGET Its being kept under cover, but the big problem worrying the White House inner cirele is what to do about the new WPA appropriation. In his January budget message, the President tentatively fixed a figure of $1,000,000,000 ($500,000,000 less than the current appropriation), but left the door open for upward revision in the spring if unemployment conditions warranted. At that time, production indices, under European war stimulus were at record levels. Since then they have dropped precipitously, the fall in January being the severest on record. Steel output, for example, is off 30 per cent. Result of that unemployment is increasing (government experts estimate it around 9,500,000), and WPA is being besieged for more relief. In its files are applications from 1.000,000 jobless who are eligible for aid but can't be helped because of no funds. The big debates inside the inner circle is whether Roosevelt should stand on its originul $1,000,000,000 estimate or ask Congress for The economizers are against this. They contend that a pickup in the spring is certain and that by July, when the new budget goes into effect, business will be humming. ALso, to ask fur more money, they claim, would be bad political strategy. precipitate a row in Congress, prolong the session, and give the GOP a golden chance to chide the New Deal. The spenders admit this likelihood blit warn that unless more money is poured into relief there Ls serious danger of a bad slump in the autumn. They deny there is any certainty of a business upturn in the spring, hold that it's only a guess and that the wise course is to take no chances, ask for money. WIA COMPROMISE Suggested as a compromise is that Roosevelt stand on ins oirginal $1,000,000,000 figure but put no time limit on its expenditure. This would wipe out the present requirement that WPA must allo- cate its funds to stretch over a period. Under the proposed conipriniise WPA could lump its expenditures this summer and seek a deficiency grant next February th or March. The current WPA roll is 2,300.000, the peak under its present budget. Beginning in April this figure will be slashed monthly until it is brought down to around 1,600,000 in June, the last month of the fiscal year. Another 300,000 will have to be dropped in July if WPA funds continue as per schedule. Thus a million jobless would be fired by August. The final decision is up to Roosevelt. And he hasnt a lot of time, since the House Appropriations Committee has fixed March 25 to begin its secret deliberations on relief. The President will have to fish or cut bait by then. E. C.
