URGES $500 SALARY
FOR BADGER SOLONS

MADISON-A resolution to raise
the salary of legislators to 81, 500 was
introduced by Senator G. F. Czerwin-
ski, Milwaukee. A constitutional
amendment is necessary to bring
about the proposed increase.
The present salary of $500 term is
branded by legislators as ridiculous
ly low" and there is a determined
movement on foot to raise the salary
and cut down the length of the term
to a point where service will be made
attractive and will draw the best men,
The attempt to increase legislators
salaries, which failed at vote in 1919
was defeated, it was said, because
its adoption would have given the leg
islature blanket authority to grant
itself, without limit, any salary. The
bill Of Senator Czerwinski definitely
sets the salary at $1,000 a term, with
no additional compensation for special
session other than railroad fare.

WEST SIDE LUTHERAN CHURCH

At the annual meeting of the West
Side Lutheran Church the financial
secretary reported that in spite of
the fact that the remaining debt had
been paid, and substantial raises in

still showed a surplus. Many mem
bers have been added to the congre-
cation the past year which now num-
bers about two hundred families.
To become better acquainted with
its new membess the congregation
held a reception for them Tuesday
evening at eight o'clock in the school
house. The pastor extended the well
come to all, basing his remarks on

ments. Refreshments We're served by

CAUSE OF PRES
emit DEPRESSION

MADISON-That the present state
of business depression rests upon the
fundamental unsoundness of our eco
nomic system, is the view of Director
Nordman of the Market Division ex-
pressed in a statement issued today.
"The remedy does not lie in a change
feeling" says Mr.. Nordman, cor in
the assumption of an air of optimism
as is advocated by some. The diff
culties which the country is going
through are not products of magma
ton nor are they the result of the
war alone. The economic defects
which produced them existed long ago.
The war has only intensified these diff
ficulties and no amount of optimistic
newspaper publicity, of soothing pro-
phecies as to the future or of the pat
ching up and restoring confidence pro-
cesses will ever eliminate them"
"Conditions are not economically
sound when the farmer cannot sell at
a fair and just price all he produces,
and the consumer is not in a position
to buy all he reasonably needs; they
are not sound while many legalized
privileges exist in the country, as are
shown to exist by the vast fortunes
and stupendous incomes acquired. I
am not speaking of fortunes earned;
the owners of these have conferred
benefits upon society greater than
that which they acquired"
"The farmers full share of the price
of his products is considerably reduced
because of inflated land values, a mo-
nopolistic control of the market in
certain lines of trade, and the waste
and unnecessary expenses inherent in
our system of distribution. On the
other hand, the consumers share of
his earnings is reduced by the legal
lied privileges which result in enor-
nous incomes acquired by privileg-
ed few. If a considerable minority
has the power to acquire more than
it is rightfully entitled to, it logical
ly follows that the majority gets less
than that to which it has a just claim
This majority will have to deprive it
self of much that it needs. thus MAX
ing less demands on the commodities
which are produced. And here is
the fundamental cause of poor mar
kets, of more commodities being pro-
1uced than are sold, Of bad times, un-
and all the other condi- |
tons that everyone is complaining
of."
Mr.. Nordman believes it to be one

,all attention to what is deemed to |
De the causes Of the present business |
depression. The remedies for these /
,roubles are discussed in the press
etters which the Division of Mar
lets is periodically issuing.

KEEPING
RECORDS ON
THE FARM

With the ever increasing complex
ity in the farm business, the neces-
sity of keeping an account of what
has taken place on the farm from year
20 year asserts itself more and more.
1t is poor business, indeed, that does
not warrant some system of account
ing, some means by which the bust
ness man can work out an annual
statement of his affairs and learn
thereby whether he is coming or GO
ing. The accounting side of the farm
ing industry has been too much ne
elected, and when the immensely of
the totals concerned with the industry
are considered the necessity of this an
nual checking up stands out all the
more.
Our leaders in agricultural affairs
often find difficulty in progressing with
certain measures because of the lack
OF the information that farm account
systems would yield them. In manip-
ulatlng for better prices, more stable
markets, enacting more favorable
laws, the information that cost &C
counts acord is of great value. The
keeping of accounts also saves more
or less of annoyance at income tax
time.
The farmer cannot be blamed great
ly, however, for not having taken to
the accounting work, since with his
| limited time, he has been loath to
| tackle the complicated systems that
have been offered
The College of Agriculture at Madi-
| son has taken the lesson that these
earlier attempts have offered, and
have produced Farm Account Book
| that IS simple in its working, vet
| thorough in the results that it Yields.
| | have supply of these books on hand
at the present time and will be glad
20 cooperate with any one that wishes
20 start IN with a good system of
arm accounts. The book is simple
md has been stripped of all technical
terms that are not of general use and
essential to the system. Only one
writing is necessary-thereby elimi-
mating the buga-boo posting" A
charge of fifty cents is made for each
book.
| Specialists are sent out from the
College to cooperate with the County
Agents in this work. If few farmers
care to get together to have the work
discussed shall be glad to meet with
you, or if you care to hold a Farm
Account school in your district, we
.an arrange to get the specialist here

iasl rfosssusion Ia d licensing system
and compulsory iiaenssd inspections. It

insl prosecution ts licensing system
and sosiipulsofy iiasnssd inspection. It
Is pointed out that the present method
of inspection reaches only the occa-
sfonal case while the plan of licens-
ing dealers generally and requiring
licensed inspection on all shipments
would cover practically the entire
commercial crop. Moreover, it is en-
phasized that revocation of a ware
houseman's license to inspect means
that he cannot avail himself of the
state grades, which fact is calculated
to act as a deterrent against mis-
grading. This is the system employed
in federal inspection under the grain
standards act.
The Division of Markets further re-
quests the power to issue an operating
license to buyers of potatoes and
other farm products, which may be
| withdrawn and thus suspend the
party's right to do business for any
regulations issued by the Division of
Markets.
The suggestion has been made that
| the grading of products should be
made mandatory, as in Nebraska, and
that the selling of "ungraded" stock
should be fatty prohibited. The pre-
| sent Wisconsin law reserves the right
to any shipper to mark his product
''ungraded," if it does not conform to
| the requirements of the grade. The
contemplated proposal is to keep such
| inferior quality off of the market al
together.
| The Division of Markets, however
has not yet advanced such provision
inasmuch as there seems some doubt
as to the constitutionality of law
which would bar absolutely the mar
keting of goods merely because they
were below the state standard in quail,
ity.

BETTER MARKETS

Every group, concerned with the
readjustment of Wisconsin's agricul-
| ture and allied industries to present
| lay conditions, will be represented in
| the "Get Together Market Confer
| ence" to be held in Madison, February
| l to 10.
Every organization of state wide
scope is being invited to participate in
the convention. And the representa-
tives of these groups are inviting to
meet with them to consider these de-
fnant questions, manufacturers, dis
tributors and consumers of farm pro-
ducts.
Plans for the convention are being
laid by officials of the various bodies
represented. The subjects to be con-
sidered in the course of the conference
include possible legislation to make
credit readily available to the farm
ers, means of improving the trans
portation facilities of the state, and
sumner and producer. Out of this pro-
gram it is planned to develop a state
agricultural policy.
The one man in America who knows
most about world food conditions and
world markets for raw products, out
side of Herbert Hoover, is DIR. Alonzo
IL ho ho
ence to give the information he has
collected. Turnout the war and since
he has divided his time between this
country and Europe in study of the
very questions which every farmer is
asking. He leaves the conference to
sail to the continent to continue his
observations of economic conditions
He will discuss: 'The Worlds Food
Supply" and 'The Worlds Buying
Power"
'We propose to find out if anything |
can be done to straighten the road be-
tween the farm field and the family |
dinner table," say the officials of the
conference. "True to ex-
pectation, farm prices have fallen first
and farthest and the constantly wild
ening gap between producer and con-
sumer is still further spread apart.
'.The farmers prices today, are de-
largely by world conditions.
The prices paid by the consumer of his
products are too often artifcially and
locally controlled. Wisconsin's agri-
cultural forces propose to get at the
.acts, remove unnecessary obstruc-
ions, smooth and straighten the
,ead."
