ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS
Every President, according to tradition, is entitled to one honeymoon with
Congress—a session in which his pet legislative proposals will be okeyed by the
representatives of -the people without strenuous opposition.
Mr. Roosevelt's honeymoon made those of his immediate predecessors look
like a meeting between the parrot and the monkey. The first Congress to sit
under his Administration gave him every extraordinary power he asked for.
It surrendered rights and prerogatives it had prized for generations. There was
no organized opposition. When occasional individual voices appeared in criti-
cism, they were snowed under. ?
Most Presidents encounter trouble with their second Congress. And in!
Mr. Roosevelt's case, it is true that the sailing wasn’t as easy as it had been.
But the honeymoon continued. A certain amount of opposition appeared,
gressional machine made short shift of it. The powers of the Chief Executive,
broadened to an amazing degree through acts of the preceding Congress, were
broadened still more during the one that recently came to a sudden and drama-
tic end. :
Most remarbable bill passed during the session was the Reciprocal Tariff
Act. Under it, the President is empowered to bargain with foreign powers and
raise and lower our tariffs on almost all products to the extent of 50 per cent.
Mr. Hoover asked for a similar bill.
The Silver Purchase Act gives the President further unprecedented powers
over our money. He is permitted, at his discretion, to purchase 100,000,000
ounces of fine silver in the world market and issue currency against it.
The Stock Exchange is another Administration bill of the first importance.
It stringently regulates all exchange activities and makes illegal a number of
common practices such as wash-selling, low margins and dissemination of tips.
Mr. Roosevelt is thus made virtual dictator of the nation’s security markets.
In brief, every bill the Administration deemed essential, passed. Mr.
Roosevelt goes into the middle of his second vear as Chief Executive with every |
weapon for fighting depression he wanted. The Congress has been subjugated; |
it has lost vast amounts of both prestige and importance. There was never a
period in our history when a President was so powerful, and when the legislative |
branch of the nation was so weak. |
Talk is now centering on the next Congress. Mr. Roosevelt will again |
ask for much—but unless the signs fail, he will have a harder time getting it. |

The November elections will probablv be the determining factor. If this
party sweeps the country once more, his influence on Senators and Represen-
tatives will be as potent as ever—no Congressman likes to throw away votes.
If the Republicans make substantial gains such as taking 70 or 80 House
seats now held by Democrats, the picture will undergo decisive change. Most
political commentators, writing for papers representing’ both major parties,
are of the opinion that Republicans are likely to regain much of the ground
they lost in 1932. It is usual for the party in power to experience more diffi-
culty in the off-year elections than in the years in which a president is running.
WHEN “FARM RELIEF” SUCCEEDS
There is a growing feeling on the part of those in a position to know the
facts that government farm relief measures have made their most conspicuous
successes when they have sought to help the farmer help himself—and have
come nearest to failure when they have simply tried to change a condition
through legislative, judicial or executive fiat,
It’s an old axiom that doing a thing for a person isn’t nearly so worth-
while as showing him how to do it on his own hook, and that is as true of agri-
culture as anything else. When official agencies have worked to build and
strengthen the farmer-owned co-operatives, which represent concentrated in-
dividual effort, they have produced excellent results.
3 The co-operatives have the great virtue of permanence. They are not
subject to change as is an administration or a political party. They are im-
mune to political considerations—they don’t depend on votes for their exis-
tence. They can determine upon a policy, and pursue it one year, five years,
or twenty years if it is advisable.
The soundly managed cooperatives, consequently, are getting somewhere.
They are winning out along a dozen fronts—winning in their fight for stabler
markets, better prices, and a fairer break for the farm producer. They emin-
ently deserve the great measure of agicultual, public and official support they
have been given by those who understand their motives and their methods.
: The number of farm homes in Pennsylvania having water piped at least
into the kitchen, increased from 29,000 in 1925 to 67,000 on January 1, 1934,
according to estimates made by the State Department of Agriculture,
This means, the Department pointed out, that in more than one out of
every three farm dwellings the drudgery of carrying water by the bucketful from
a nearby well or cistern has been eliminated. It also means that water is still
being carried into more than 100,000 Pennsylvania farm homes.
The percentage of farm homes into which water has been piped, is great-

“WILDFLOWERS”
I gazed upon a field so green
Beautiful wild flowers were every-
where to be seen.
Yellow, brown and white,
"Twas such a pretty sight.
There was the buttercup slender and
tall,
The brown eyed susan towered above
them all.
And the daisy so snowy white,
I thought wildflowers, but what a
lovely sight.
When a person stops to think,
We give these flowers neither food nor
drink,
We never give them any care,
We did not even place them there.
Does that not convince the most
doubtful mind?
That God to us has been most kind.
Everyone can enjoy these flowers
God placed them there, they're really
