Page Four ARIZONA IN WASHINGTON Almost everyone who speaks or writes of the coming presidential election seems to feel that Mr. Roosevelt should have said a long time ago just what he is planning to do in the matter of a third term. Now there may be some perfectly good reasons for such an attitude, but it i s not at all im possible that as good an argument) exists for the President’s keeping mum. So let’s forget our own troublesome inquisitiveness for a moment and look at the other Fide. Let us suppose you own a busi ness and I am working for you. Everything is going along nicely and I am obviously doing a good job. I am promoted regularly and my salary is raised accordingly. In short, I am making my mark. Now suppose I decide that inj about two years 1 am going away j I am leaving the job, never to: come back. Would I tell you 1 was going, two years before I was ready to leave Not if I knew what was good for me. On the day you heard the news, you would be gin making plans to fill my place.] and from that day on there would j be no more advancement for me. | You would not invest in me any | more responsibility than w a s absolutely necessary. Long before I was ready to go, you would have picked my successor and I would be about as important to your busi ness as last year’s calendar. Therefore, you would get one month's notice and no more. The natural answer, and a true one, is that the President has no moral right to further his own interests at the expense of the Nation. But this is another matter. The President’s job is not finished until January 4. 1941. and there is Just enough uncertainty about a third term to keep him in the posi tion of head man now. As long as nobody is quite certain that Mr. Roosevelt will not be in the White House next year, he will be able to command that respect which is in dispensable if he is to carry on. On the day he admits hi s presi dential aspirations have been satis fied. his supporters will turn away and ask for the name of the most promising contender. From then until the end of his term Congrens | and the Cabinet will pay little at ! tention to his ideas. Is it, then, to be considered secretive and underhanded that the President hesitates to send all the busybodies away with the as surance that he is all washed up? j A President who could not make the front page, could do little else. | And a president, as a Garbo, can hold us best with the charm of mystery. o Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Neese en tertained guests at cards Saturday night, those present were Mr. and Mrs. M M. Cooper, Mr. and Mrs. E. Perham. Mr. and Mrs. M. Gross miller. Mr. and Mrs. W. Sharpe and Mr. and Mrs. T. Hall. Prizes were awarded to Mrs. Sharpe and M rs. Grossmiller.

PHONE 95 A Straw in the Wind Subsidies to agriculture are esti mated to have been at the rate of about 225 million dollars annual ly. Congress has voted as high as 558 million dollars at a single clip for this purpose. Secretary of the Treasury Mor genthau and other njemebrs of President Roosevelt’s Cabinet and the Fiscal and Monetary Board are considering a new-fangled “certificate plan’’ to replace direct subsidies. It is a processing tvx. under a new covering. The con sumers of the country would eventually Pay the cost of the farmparity payments. The farm program is certain to continue to be the taxpayers burden. Processing taxes were declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 1936. but the Couc.t as well as the new' processing plan have both changed in their rela tion to the existing situation. Here’s a straw in the vird that show's the direction of New Deal planning to get plenty of money for spending purposes for ne w and experimental methods, outside the budget.
