at a brackish, green scummed water-

of powdery Mndwiches, took a long
drink at his canteen, rolled a smoke,

The pale moon rose, arched and de

took form, hovered—lightened—and
was gone. The sun came up. And with

The latter, he said, was reflected in

of states’ rights, while by tHef
.same token.s the Democratic party ha-s j
iiecome committed to a government
centralized at Washington.
Examination and compari.son of the
two party platforms on the major is
sues, which arg, old age pensions, un
employment relief and agricultural
assistance, shows differences mainly
in method rather than in principle.
The Republican platform for exam
ple, accepts the. system of federal
grants to states for pensions to the
needy aged, and differs “only from
the.system now in effect in propoe-,
ing to raise funds for^ this purpose
by a direct tax widley distributed.
This is interpreted as foreshadowing
a federal* sales tax.
On other phases of the social se-i
curity program, which the Democratic
platform endorses, the Republican
platform criticsies the old age insur-
anee and unemployment insurance
provisions as leaving out of consid
eration too large a proportion of
WTqfC-eamers; and proposes a revis
ion of the method of admindstration.
On the matter of relief, the Repub
lican platform proposes to return the
problem to the individual states with
the federal government confining its
activity to grants- of •money to the
states to help finance their relief
programs.
The Democratic pla^o
unemployment a natfdnal problem, to
be met in a national way by work

vailing wages.' i

The two parties are father apart
on the relief proposals than in the
matter of • bounties to farmers. Tbe
Republican platform promises farm
ers two kinds of bounties, one simi-
, Jar to the bounty now paid for ap
plying soil conservation methods, and|
a-second designed- -to-enabla- farmeraj^ ^
to export surplus products for what
ever price they will-bring. The Demo
crats prUmise a continuation of the|< ►
present soil conservation'bounty, but ^
propose .price-fixing loans on certain
commodities.
When all is said and done, how
ever, the issue of the election next
November will hinge much less upon
precisely what each party'promises
to do and how it p/oposee to do it in
detail, than upon the broad question
