This is the warning sent to members of congress by the Washington representative of the National Grange, which boasts 8,000 units with 750,000 farmer members in 37 states: Congressmen were urged to adhere to the position that members of the armed forces shall receive the same kind of ballot in the 1944 election that will be: issued to voters. who ramin at home. “ The National Grange leaders take their stand for “‘the ‘kind of ballotthat is recognized by the Constitution, a ot, that is, issued, under laws of the, states, and that wall enable our fighting,men to register. their choice in. the filling of all offices, federal, state and Jocal.’ ‘—Contributed. nb thin ASK THE ‘HOUSEWIFE In these days when butter is worth 16 ration points a pound will the thrifty, housewife accept the War Food Administration’s alibi, that detrioration, for table. use of 215,557 pounds: of butter. from . the government's. stockpile of 130,000;000. pounds because it had: been stored too long can be considered’ “‘a reasonable amount of loss’’ in view of the size lof the stockpile, held i in storage? sears Fo the. economical, housewife no wastage, of food is, reasonable.

Admittedly, a post war era of prosperity, such as Wallace lieving the strain of paying the de but his vague suggestion that snah an era can be brought about by government enterprises and little TVAs seattered all over the country, is, unhappily, a very unrealistic ap‘proach. to the problem. This writer has said it many times, but at the risk of seeming repetitious, it is’ time, perhaps, to say it again—that government has no magic to save us, either in war times, or peace times, and there is no real hope of either economic or political salvation through government 1 projects. In the final analysis, the government not only derives its powers from the governed—but also “every dollar it expends in public help programs. Abolishing private business to create government enterprises, which pay no taxes, is no cure for the condition that will confront this country when the war ends. New government projects will only mean fewer private business projects—and in the end, fewer persons to pay off the huge debt after the war. For new government projects always mean new additions to the towering governmental bureaucracy in Washington—with the taxpayer footing the. bill. There is a way out of this wilderness when the war ends; of that, this wrter is confident.: But no one is going. to take us by the hand and lead us out; that job we must do for ourselves—by our own sweat, our own labor: and our own ingenuity. ‘The wise farmer is fashioning his own post war program now not depending on anyone else to do it for him.
