...Jose, Calif., at a rally for the Congressional candidacy of Rancher John Z. Anderson, Herbert Hoover answered last month's "liberal" appeal of Franklin Roosevelt (TIME, July 4): "The New Deal has sit up labor boards which are executives, legislatures, prosecutors, judges, juries and executioners. It has tried to humble the judiciary and turn Congress into a rubber stamp. If this be liberalism, then King George III, Karl Marx, Mussolini and Boss Tweed were liberals...

Sheep followed each other, were bunched by the herder, tramped the range into dust, with the result that the next rain washed off the topsoil instead of bringing up fresh grass.

Next plea came from cattlemen forced because of 1936 drought to sell their beef at any price. The July slaughter was 25% over the previous year and many a rancher faced ruin. But the chains, with the aid of numerous packers, put on sales pressure. Chain-store beef sales jumped 34% in August over August 1935; the price of choice steers rose from $8.58 in June to $10 in September; cattlemen received more August income than the previous five-year average; the Government had to buy only 5,000 head to hold up the market instead...
