LITTLE FARMERS ' Forty years héve elapsed between the big-business battles of Teddy Roosevelt and Cousin FDR, but one issue which plagued the former is also plaguing the latter and is now before congress. It is the question whether government irrigation, gov- ‘ernment water, and government rec- lamation shall benefit the big land- owner or the small. The issue is now one of the hottest fights both in California and in con- gress, where Secretary of the Inte- rior Ickes has been called to testify on a rider which Congressmen El- liott and Carter of California have skilfully smuggled into the rivers and harbors bill—a rider permitting big landowners in California’s cen- tral valley to benefit from govern- ment low-cost irrigation. The question in Teddy Roosevelt's day was whether any farmer hold- ing more than 160 acres should bene- fit from, government irrigation. The issue arose when the land kings of the Far West wanted to develop their ranches and speculative holdings through irrigation at government ex- pense. The West was for it, but the East objected. Eastern states claimed they would be footing the tax bill and that Western irrigation would come out of their pockets. The West replied that the irrigation projects of that day would provide benefits for small Eastern farmers who mi- grated westward tomorrow. After a terrific battle, Teddy Roosevelt won out. Congress ruled that government - irrigated land tracts must be limited to 160 acres. That law still stands. But Repub- lican Congressman Carter of Oak- land, Calif., and Democratic Con- gressman Elliott of Tulare, Calif., have ganged up to change it with a rider exempting the central valley irrigation project. Their amendment, already passed by the house, would mean that big ranchers in the central valley could benefit from the new irrigation proj- ect no matter how extensive their holdings. Even more important, it would mean that a lot of new land, not extensively cultivated at present, would be subjected to cut-throat speculation. Ickes for Small Farms. Secretary of the Interior Ickes who has supervised the expenditure of $150,000,000 on central valley irri- gation, is determined that the bene- fits shall not go to land speculators and big ranchers, plus some of the big liquor companies which have bought up California wineries. The issue, according to Secretary Ickes, is whether the U.S.A. is going to become a nation of large land- owners hiring Okies and tenant farmers, or whether the nation will feature medium-sized farmers oper- ating their own land. NOTE—Business men in the cen- tral valley are split over the issue. Many merchants believe that me- dium-sized farms rather than poorer farm labor make for better business in neighboring towns. The Fresno Chamber of Commerce calls 60 to 80 acres of figs an economic unit for a family, or 80 to 120 acres of al- falfa. The Chamber has sent out booklets urging settlers to take up small land tracts. * * * FOUR-Fs. Despite all the army howls for 4.F's to get into war plants, it re- mains a fact that physical examina- tion in many plants is so stiff that they can’t get in. In fact, the physi- cal in some plants is stiffer than in the army. Many a patriotic 4-F has worn out shoeleather making the rounds of war plants, only to find that he can’t get in. A punctured ear-drum, for instance, is considered just as im- portant in a war plant as in the army. In recent weeks, belated steps have been taken to relax some of these physical restrictions, but much still remains to be done. So you can’t blame a lot of the 4-F-ers if they aren’t in war plants. Another difficulty which the War Manpower commission might well dig into is the fact that anyone can quit work in a vital war plant but, without a certificate of availability, cannot transfer to another war plant —at least, not until after a 60-day period. In other words, you can step out of an aircraft factory or a synthetic rubber plant and go to work in a barber shop or at a bootblack stand, or just loaf at home. They are not essential industries. But if you want to switch to a munitions plant, you can’t—without a certificate bf avail- ability (which you probably can’t get), or without waiting the xequired cooling-off period of 60 days. * * * MERRY-GO-ROUND @ Busy as he is, President Roose- velt will soon be called upon to set- tle the problem of whether a rail worker’s vacation week is six days or seven. Railroad workers were granted a week’s vacation as part of the wage compromise last year, but the railroad executives now contend that FDR meant the vacation should be six days, not seven. If the rail- road workers get seven days, they can stay away Sunday, which is a holiday anyway, plus Monday, or an the local Baptist church, and inter- ment was made in Fairview cemetery.
