The ship model had upon 1t an inscrip-
ton plate reading:
ITO Charles NJ. Schwab in recognition
Of the distinguished services rendered by
him to the United States OF America
and to the civilized world in building
ships to win the war"
The sentiment thus set forth and va
rious facts, figures and "reminiscences to
give 1t vitality made the text upon which
the speakers built the things they had to
say.
They told of the suspicion and OBJ
lection and innuendo" which Mr.. Schwab
had to overcome both In the minds of
statesmen and of plain men when he
took hold Of the task of making sea
carriers for the war and made his be-
ginning of shipbuilding from yards
which were only locations in many cases
and places scantily found in many
others. And how, by his energy and ca
pacity and enthusiasm, he put the Job
across so that when fighting stopped
there were yards turning out ships or
something for ships In every available
cove on both coast lines. And every
speaker on every point gave all the
credit to him.
From this Mr.. Schwab dissented
sharply when his turn came to reply
and express himself concerning the ship
model and the givers. He declared that
what he thought about those with whom
he was placed in association when he
buckled down to his war job ought to
be manifest In the fact that he made no
changes in the panel and that what was
obvious therein he now wished to put in
clear words. which he did. naming

is THIS WHY PRICES ARE GOING
UP AGAIN?

Prof. Irving Fisher, of Yale, who is
so versatile that he is an authority on
economics, on longevity of humans
and on prize fighters, is best known
for his exhaustive and deep studies
of gold as money.
1t is Fisher who advocates STABILIZE
ing the American gold dollar by fix
ing, its value as it grows plentiful or
grows scarce.
He contends that when gold becomes
plentiful. prices of commodities as
cend. When it is scarce, prices 80
down.
Please note what is happening
now. All prices were going down
the first of the year like lead sink
er. But around about springtime
floods of gold began to pour into the
United States from the whole world.
To date. in 1921. we have grudgingly
accepted more than four hundred
million of it.
And prices? They stopped falling
Bradstreet's shows that commodities
at wholesale advanced over 3 per cent
in July. The Department of Labor
says retail prices were up from 3 to
6 per cent in nearly all the cities on
August 1. Cotton is going up again
SO are sugar, coffee, tea, hides, canned
goods, textiles and silver.

Raising the tariff on sugar is a rank
injustice to Cuba and recent revision
upward should be repealed The little
island republic grateful to Uncle Sam
for past assistance, passed up the OPP
pOrtunity for enormous profits in
sugar during the war and sold her
crop in bulk to the United States at
only fair price and increased pro
ductiOn to the limit to relieve the wal
shortage. Then, after the bottom has
dropped out of the market and the
little nation almost ruined financial
ly by the decline of raw sugar from
% to 31a cents per pound. the United
States raises the tariff against her as
the finishing touch.
The original tariff of one cent a
pound on sugar was high enough and
is as high a differential as should be
needed to protect American sugar.

A LESSON IN POLIT-
ICAL EFFICIENCY

Farmers can profitably observe the
very effective manner in which rail
roads and public service corporations
protect their interests in matters OF
legislation and taxation. The recent
action of the Iowa State Executive
Council in increasing railway, ,teie-
phone and telegraph assessments was
followed at once by an appeal to the
courts, and every possible technical
ity of the laws will be invoked to pro-
tect the interests of these corporations
These corporations realize the In
pOrtance of keeping an eye upon pub
lie affairs They are represented i'll
every political convention They have
their lobbyists present at every SEES
sion of the legislature. Any bill af
fecting them is closely scrutinized
They know what is going on. Their
attorneys and officials appear before
the committees and put forward the
railroad and corporation side OF things
with cOnSummate skill. Their eX-
perts are always able TO bring forward
plausible statistics to bolster up the
arguments auNdHCeu.
That is one reason why we have so
much legislation favorable to special
interests, and why it is so difficult to
make large aggregations of capital pay
their fair share of taxes, observes
Dante Nj. Pierce in Wisconsin Farmer.
The lesson i'll this situation to the
farmer and the public is that organi-
cation must be met with organization.
For the first time farm organizations
are beginning to realize the value OF
presenting the farmers case to our
legislatures and to the state executive
councils. But much is yet to be done.
| venture to say that the state exec
utive council could increase the value
of Iowa city real estate, for instance
so per cent for taxation without arous-
inc more than grumble in the way
of protest. There would be no organ
izatton to fight the increase
We get special legislation which
benefits our corporations because the
special interests are organized to get
what they want. We elect officials in
sympathy with public utility concerns
because the political organization of
many Of our states is often manipu-
lated by men who have an axe to grind.
If farmers and farm organizations
were as alert to the matters of gov
eminent which affect them as our cor
poratons we should have better laws
and fewer favors to classes.

M. D. CAMPBELL.
Yours very truly,

Mr. Campbell, despite his evident
fails to give any facts to support his
allegations. In fact, unless his attacks
on the Farm Bureau have more solid
foundation than his statements 70
garding the News-Budget indicate. Mr..
Campbell's whole TRADE is unjustified.
The News Budget doesn't put any
thing that appears in the paper in
every small type" We have one size
of type for practically all of the read
ing matter except an occasional
short special feature. This paper has
frequently given the Equity Society
free publicity and has never refused
space when Mr.. Campbell or anyone
else has sent us notice OF meetings
or even matter like the above COM
municati ton We have given COM
mendation to the Equity on several
occasions and have never taken a
stand against the society, as Mr..
Campbell intimates.
Mr.. Campbell talks like rank So
cialist, making charges with reckless
abandon; stating whatever comes TO
his mind as the truth, without any
facts to substantiate his claims.
The News-Budget has supported the
organization of the Farm Bureau. be-
lieving in all sincerity that it was
founded on the right principles. We
believe the farmers need strong or
ganiZa ton to protect their interests,
for we believe that for lack of organ
ization they have been given a raw
deal in the past Such an organiZa-
ton, however. unless founded Oh sane
principles. will be a menace to the
country, just as is any powerful Or
ganizatiOn that is not properly direct
ed or is manipulated by unscrupulOns
leaders. The organization of the Farm
Bureau is not without danger to the
country, but as far as we can judge
of their basic principles this body
promises needed help to the people
that feed the nation, with the least
threat of political tyranny and un-
sound experiments.
AS to Mr.. Campbell's question as
to what is wrong with the Equity So
ciety. the News-Budget doesn't profess
to know whether there is anything
the matter with it. Perhaps Mr..
Campbell can answer.
We do not know that the Farm Blu
reau is being pushed by "all the big

WHAT SOVIETISM HAS PROVED
TO THE WORLD +

In brief, this is the history of COM
munism in Russia.
First, every man to work for his
needs and nobody to hold property.
That worked out this, way: With
nothing to work fOr-not for home
or surplus, or luxury, all business and
manufacturing went to the dogs. La
Dor had no work, no products were
made that the cities could exchange
with the farmers for food, and the
money was worthless.
The farmers wouldn't give their
SURPRISES of food away ard so the
Soviet armies marched out and took
| it away from them. WhereupOn the
farmers of all Russia stopped raising
any more than they needed for them
selves. Drought fell in one section
of the country and instantly the peo-
pie of that section began to starve !;
they had no reserves.
In orderly states, where one part of
a country is foodless, the reserves Of
the other parts save them till the
next crop But the unaffected sections
Oh buSSld Hdu idiSett Only IUou cHouSl
for themselves because of the Soviet
armies.
And so Russia must beg the world
to please feed her.
The test of Communism has been
thorough, the dullest can see that it
does not work in city or farmside.
SO long as Sovietism exists, Russia
will be a beggar, plucking at the
skirts of the world.
