fhufictey, April 23, IOWA TO LOSE HOUSE SEAT The census of 1960, if all indications are true, will result in the loss of one seat in the national House of Representatives for Iowa. There are 435 seats in the House, proportioned on the basis Of population. The heavy BENSON'S AGRICULTURE RECORD The House Committee on Agriculture, after a series of hearings involving the Department of Agriculture, headed by Etra Benson, has reduced the information to a few important, summarized sentences. They ore quite an in- population gains are being made in such states sight into the conduct of the Department of nranioct Aariculture bv Mr Benson, and refute lust about as California, Arizona, Florida. The greatest losses seem likely to occur in eastern states, New Massachusetts, etc.

Whether the new States of Alaska and Hawaii will be included in the 435 total, or whether an aditional seat or two is added to compensate for their inclusion in the Union has not been determined. Agriculture by Mr Benson, and refute just about every favorable thing that has been said the Secretary. Neither the farmer, the consumer, or the taxpayer, can be very happy with the statistics. Here are some of the most important: The farmer's gross income was $15.3 billion in 1952; it was $13.1 billion in 1958.

In 1952 the Agriculture Department's annual budget was $1 billion; in 1960 the bud This leads to speculation, however, as to get has been set at $6.7 billion. what realignment and reapportionment will take place in Iowa when the present number of Representatives in Congress is reduced by one. Instead of eight seats in that splendid body, Iowa will have only seven. Somewhere, somebody is going to lose when it happens. GOOD ADVICE, PROFESSOR!

Four million people have left the American farm in the past six years. The purchasing power of farm prices is the lowest in Iff years. The actual spending by the Department of Agriculture is now of the total net income of American farmers. .1953, the Department of Agriculture had what Benson termed a "swollen bureaucracy" of 67,406 as of last November the Department now has 89,464 employees, an of and slated to be by next June. Benson's own office expenses.were $2.1 million in 1953; they are budgeted for $2.8 million this coming year.

The above facts simply illustrate one basic fact. Benson has not reduced expenses, employees or food prices in any way. He has reduced the farmer's income. He is still unable to understand that' lower prices are no key, to a balanced agricultural economy. The fact is that the Ibwer, the price the more the farmer -produces Benson'took office the.

It -was initiated Friday with its first bloody "highway homicide." Three men met death in a headori collision. Again the stark realization was graphically that "you can't depend on what the other driver will do." A routine inspection trip by two Northwestern Pell Telephone men was brought to tragic end when another driver wound up in their traffic lane, on a wide open stretch of new highway. The death record for the new highway has started out with the number It's often regarded as a lucHy number. In, this instance let's hope we can be lucky and stop at three.
