TWO PRICE CONTROL PLANS

While several plans have been suggested for enabl-
:g the government to meet its pledge to the farmers by
maintaining the basic price of 1926 per bushel for the
1920 crop Of wheat. there are really but two main prin-
ciples involved. The other differences are Of detail.
One proposal is that the government shall buy at the
price all the wheat offered. and shall sell for
that the government shall buy no wheat; that the crop
shall be sold on the open market; and that the grower.
on presenting evidence of a sale, shall be entitled to re-
ceive from the government the difference between the
market price actually received and the guaranteed price.
1t will be seen that under the first named pan the
government could, if it chose, avoid loss except on that
portion OF the crop which it sold abroad. Its willingness
for the whole crop at that figure whether the grain were
bought by the government or by a private concern. If
imports were prohibited the domestic consumers would
be required to buy flour on the basis of 1920 for wheat.
Under the other plan the actual price of. wheat would
drop to the world level, and the price of -four with it.
Ill the one case the government would recoup Itself out
of the price which the consumer would be required to
pay for flour. Under the other plan the shortage would
be made up out Of taxes. In either case the American
people must make good any loss that is sustained.
The administration plan is for the purchase of the
grain by the government. Objection has been made to
the specific bill presented on the ground that it would
place too great powers in the hands of the Food Admin
istration. This should be avoided. Under war condi-
lions it was necessary that the Food Administration
should have large powers. Under peace conditions it is
to presumed that the need for a food control Of any kind
will have disappeared.

POOR PARTNERSHIP

A reading of the remarks of Senator Sherman, of
Illinois. attacking President Wilson and about everything
that he has done suggests the observation that il Mr..
sherman's attitude is one of political partisanship, it is a
mighty poor sample. 1t is to be expected that in laying
the foundation for the presidential campaign Of 1920,
icize grave defects in the Wilson policy for which his
party can be held responsible. And any man, in four or
eight years of active official life, may be depended on to
commit enough errors to provide his opponents with ma
terial for many telling arguments without any departure
from the realm Of fitness and good taste. But when a
man descends, as Senator Sherman has done, into the
gutter. and engages in personal mudslinging, while the
process may tend to relieve his feelings If. he is carrying
a personal crouch. if his purpose is political, the results
of his action will be very little to his liking.
1t is not necessary to assume that President Wilson
is a paragon of perfection in order to express disgust a,
attacks on him which are unreasonable and malicious.
Doubtless Mr.. Wilson is to be charged with his full share
of errors, and, when it deemed the occasion fitting. this
paper has undertaken to point some of them out. But
il he has absolutely nothing to his credit, if, as we must
he is wholly wrong in method and wholly con-
ttemptiole in character, he is the first president Of the
United States whom we can recall Of whom this is true.
Mr.. Wilson did not step unknown into the presidency.
When he was elected he was a man Of mature years with
a record as a professional man, as the administrative
head Of a great educational institution, and as the *
leCutlVe IL d great tate. Inc sort OF mar whom Senator
Sherman describes could not have had such a record.
Hence Mr.. Sherman, if he does not manufacture his facts
out of whole cloth. exaggerates and distorus them.
Politicians of the type Of Senator Sherman seem in
capable of learning anything. If it were not 80 they
would learn from the history Of the Lincoln period, if
from nothing else, something Of the folly and fut,tttv Of
sweeping and undiscriminating attack on a man charged
with such weighty responsibilities as those which
weighed on Lincoln, and which weigh now upon his sue
cessor. No man in American public life was ever more
witheringly condemned than was Lincoln. His personal
character was held up to public contempt, and every i'm
portant act of his was denounced as utterly wrong and
vicious. 1t would be idle to institute comparisons be-
tween two men so utterly unlike in personality and
training as Lincoln and Wilson. But it is not amrssL IN
the basis of what we know of the estimate now placed
on the unreasonable and unbalanced criticisms Of Lin
coin. to make some estimate Of the Judgment which vii,
be passed on like criticisms of Wilson, tomorrow, IL not
today.

JUST FOLKS
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOME
THING TO DO.
By Edgar A. Guest.


There will always be something to
do, my boy,
There will always be wrongs to
right;
There will always be need for a
manly breed
And men unafraid to fight.
There will always be honor to guard,
my boy,
There will always be hills to climb
And tasks to do, and battles new
From now to the end of time.
There will always be dangers to face,
my boy,
There will always be goals to take;
Men shall be tried, where the roads
divide,
And proved by the choice they
make.
There will always be burdens to bear,
my boy,
There will always be need to pray:
There will always be tears through
the future years..
AS loved ones are borne away.
There will always be God to serve
my boy,
And always the Flag above;
They shall call to o until life is
through
For courage and strength and love.
So these are things that I dream, my
boy,
And have dreamed since your life
began: a.. ~ . 8
That whatever befalls, when the old
world calls,
1t shall find you a sturdy man.

that may some time face US. 1t is upon us now. Within

That these can be fitted back into their old occupations.
Even now we cannot do that to any great extent. ' It is
desirable that some nationwide plan should be devised

Any state that was competent to cope with wa
emergencies, should be capable Of handling labor emer-

AN AMAZING SITUATION

Representatives of certain southern and far western
livestock concerns, testifying before congressional COM
nittees, have painted a gloomy picture of the state OF the
livestock business, and have made the specific statement
hat the big cattle producing concerns are facing bank
uptcy, and that ruin will be inevitable unless congress
loes something about it.
This is truly an amazing situation. The prices re-
l:eiyed by the raisers for their cattle are the highest ever
Known. And vet the raisers are on the verge of ruin.
One is prompted to inquire how it is, if the cattle ralsers
ace disaster with cattle selling at SIT, they have been
.ble to build up big fortunes with prices not more than
lalf that figure, to say nothing of the days, not so very
ong ago, when four cents a pound on the hoof was con-
ddered a very fair price for a "critter.'
OF course, when objection is made to the high price
II anything, the first answer is that the increased cost
II production makes the increased price necessary. 1t is
rue that it costs more to produce a steer than it did
en- or twenty years ago. The abnormal prices of grain
Turing these war years have brought a very important ete-
nent into the business where animals are raised on Gull
ivuted farms, and are finished off on grain. Yet at the
,uling prices of the past three years local men have
assured The Herald that the business has yielded them
yery satisfactory profits. But where cattle are raised by
he thousand on the ranges of the south and southwest
The price Of grain has no bearing, except in rare cases
FOR great droves of cattle go to the packing plant without
aaving tasted grain.
Apparently the three main elements Of cost in the
production of range cattle are the rental of grazing lands,
The wages of labor, and interest on investment. The cost
of material consumed is almost negligible. There is no
reason to believe that land rentals have advanced greatly
in the grazing districts. Interest rates have certainly
not advanced much, if at all. Labor costs more, it is
true, but a few men can handle a great many cattle, and
the increased labor cost cannot amount to more than a
yew cents per animal.
AS a matter of fact it will take some evidence to cum
Since the ordinary mortal that the cattle raiser in Texas
pr Oklahoma is losing money on the same basic price for
battle that is received by the farmer in Iowa. or North
Dakota, and that these northern farmers find very profit
able. 1t must be remembered, further, that the amount
pf profit made by the packing company is beside this
question. The question is how and why the southern
eange man is going broke with his product at the highest
hrice that he ever received for it.
