Arthur Brisbane surveys life’s meaning with literary quotes and local notes, then shifts to current affairs. He notes Irish politics, boxing ticket prices, and a stadium build for a famous fight, followed by medical curiosities about pig gastric juice aiding anemia and Ford’s farming ideas. He ends with market hints on dividends, penguin eggs, and global trade pressures.
A critical editorial argues the Farm Board should be defunded, detailing its high salaries and repeated failures. It notes a Chicago Tribune report that the board seeks another 100 million dollars to finance foreign sales of surplus wheat and cotton, costing taxpayers further. The piece questions Congress and voters for tolerating ongoing subsidies and considers the loans to abroad as a misused burden on Americans.
A harsh attack on Congress accuses the House of striking out savings in an economy bill and the Senate of seeking higher taxes. The piece argues continued borrowing or taxation will wreck markets, mortgages, and bank stability, calling for decisive spending cuts rather than further levies. It also critiques senior lawmakers for political delay and cites Hiram Johnson’s perceived reaction to administration policy.
Henry Ansley of the Amarillo News-Globe extols the Depression era low mood as a saving grace, detailing personal shifts. He recounts longer work trips, greater social time with friends, home dining, neighborly bonds, thrift in clothing, and a shift to simpler domestic life, celebrating newfound contentment.
The piece argues the farm board seeks not a mere par course but a struggle to preserve nations at current prices and avoid disaster for Americans. It contends dumping would add to taxpayers' load, forcing wheat and cotton prices below market, and suggests lending purchase money to solvent nations unlikely to repay. It notes Mr Stone escaped unharmed.
