Washington, Sept. 1. What about the farm vote this year? That is the big question which is para mount in both political parties. With farm income barely keeping ahead of prices, the platforms of both parties are important to the farmers of the nation. The meat of the Republican plat form is: “We favor a farm pro-| gram aimed at full parity prices; for al! farm products in the market | place . . . Where government action, on perishable commodities is de-J sirable, we recommend locally con-1 orelled marketing agreements and other voluntary methods.” The nut of the Democratic plat form says: “We will continue to protect the producers of basic agri cultural commodities under the! terms of a mandatory price sup port program of 90 per cent of par ity. We continue to advocate prac tical methods for extending price supports to other storables and to the producers of perishable com modities which account for three- fourths of all farm income." * * • Th other words, the Republicans favor a flexible program of price ■supportsTriT1he“market place which means the law of supply and de mand and local action of a volun tary nature on perishables. The Democrats 90 per cent of parity for all basics and extension of these mandaotry supports to perishables when nec essary. The 82nd Congress in the last days of the session became so alarmed at the continued fa,ll| of farm income that a bi-partisan move of both Democrats and Re publicans kicked out the provisions of the 1949 law, which calls for for a compulsory 90 per cent of a sliding scale of parity support, parity through 1955. * * * It would seem therefore that the i Republicans in their platform are ; falling back on the 1949 law, while the Democrats approve the biparti san action of the 82nd congress for the full protection of the farmer. The country can expect during ' the next few months an exodus of Washington officialdom in prep- ! aration for the coming change in ' administrations. Already several top mLn.. through 1949. Under this formula the steel cdfcnpanies, according to Arnall, could have absorbed the wage increase granted the unions and made their profits without any increase. This breach of tl\e price barrier means that other. companies such as alumninum, petroleum products, and other metals can come in for price increases to cover wage in creases and John L. Lewis is ex pected to top the steel wage boost for his soft coal rsiners come Sep tember. • St All this inflationary adding to the cost of living spiral and folks in the country will hear much dur ing these next few months as living costs inch upwards. Adding to the inflationary picture is the drouth in the south and New England states which is likely to bring food costs to new peaks. Added to the drouth picture is the epidemic of vesicular exanthe ma in hogs under which thousands of head are being killed to pre vent spread. Dr. Fred E.

Probably next in line is Ellis Arnall, price administrator and former Georgia governor. Arnall feels that he had the rug pulled from under him in the steel strike settlement. He was un alterably opposed to the price in crease granted the steel companies. He maintained that only price in crease they deserved was that un der the Capehart amendment, which amounted to approximately $3.84 per ton. Defense Mobilizer John Steelman, however, granted them a $5.20 price incrdSse for car bon steel, which will average out at something like $5.60 a ton for all kinds of steel. The price breaches the standard set by the office of price administration which provided that industries would be permitted price increases equal to 85 per cent of their prof its of the best three years 1946 Six-Inch Sermon By REV. ROBERT H. HARPER The Obligation to he Truthful Exodus 10: 16: John 18: 15-27 Golden Text: Exodus 20: 16 P ETER in the firelight, on the ni^ht before the crucifixion showed how false witness can be borne by refusing to witness for a man in claiming not to know him. While Jesus was before the high priest, Peter was subjected to this trial and that from the servants of the palace. To save his own hide, Peter thrice denied his Lord, and even with an oath. And we look with abhorrence upon the nefarious deed when we recall how Peter had boasted of his devotion and alle giance and had vowed that he would give his life for his Lord. His three-fold denial was a viola tion of the commandment against false witnessing. And it was just plain lying under the most hurt ful circumstances. We note that, first of all, not to witness for a man in a crucial hour is to witness against him. In this connection, we may think of the old injunction against “damning a man with faint praise.” Faint praise can sometimes ruin a man. We may also think of the lying that some men are guilty of by remaining utterly silent. Perhaps a little shrug of the shoulders com pletes the condemnation by silence. Bearing false witness is one of the lowest and meanest ways of lying. And we need a larger ap praisement of the good things in our fellows and a greater kindness in the heart when we speak of them OFFICE SUPPLIES Complete line, all the little Items needed for the office.
