MONEY, WHAF?.
BY ARTHUR cAPPER

Last year when corn was $50 a
|bushel, a farmer could get s gallons
of gasoline for q single bushel. To-
Xday at the farm price, that bushcl OF
Icorn only buys l gallon of gasoline
Last year bushels Of corn bought a
ton Of soft coal. Today that ton Of
|coal costs 40 bushels OF corn.
Last year 40 bushels of corn would
buy a $50 suit of clothes. Today
In would take 200 bushels to buy that
Isuit. If clothing had been reduced
I'm price proportionately with corn.
SEQ suits OF clothes would now sell for
|$12. Last year 10 bushels of corn
[would buy a SIS pair of shoes. To-
|day 1t takes SO bushels. Last year a
good pair of shoes could be bought
with one cOwhide. Today 1t takes ak
Icowhides to get the shoes.
To buy his wife pair of SO shoes
a Kansas farmer recently sold 20 bu-
[shels of corn for $3.50 and a big cow
hide for 50. Then had to pay so
Gents to boot to close the transaction.
Last year 8 " bushels of corn would
buy IS hat. Today 1t will take
[16 2-3 bushels. Last year a bushei
Df corn would buy 8 pounds of coffee
To-day it will buy only little more
Than half a pound. Last year 1-3
Bushels of corn would buy 49,
bound sack of flour. Today it takes
5 " bushels. For pounds of wool.
Enough to make "a genuine all-wool
buit," farmer is now glad to get 81
but to buy such suit costs him 500
bounds of wool.
If on a parity with the present
brice of corn, Mr.. Rockefeller would
Bell gasoline for 6 cents instead of
BO; the Coal Trust would sell ton
bf coal for $3.50 instead of $12.56;
the clothier a $50 suit for $i2 ;sathe
bhoes dealer $40 shoe for $2
batter IS hat for 81; and the
er would sell bacon and buy HveStoe4ll
|Rt pre-war instead of at postwar
prices, American agriculture would
not today be in need of the credit pull
motor. Corn should be and is worth
more. if these things are worth what
Us asked for them.
What is it going to'profit us to
keep knocking the farmer down and
3faking his property away from him7
How are We going to be clothed and
a d when we finally have knocked
him out completely?
Ultimately we should provide for
National marketing board. in which
he producer will be represented.
with power to the board to regulate
he rate of marketing and to advise

Injury to producer or to consumer
hru ruinous practices or conditions
hay be avoided.
And finally we should see that in
uture adequate credit is provided
Or farmers thru short-time and long
ime loans, adapted fairly and prac-
ically to the peculiar conditions of
he farming business, to afford iarm-
rs the. same credit Accommodations
