said, is to be diagnosed carefully as
a physician diagnoses a case and then
finds and applies the remedy. To this
end the national organization is Sc
surfing the best talent that can be
found and is willing to pay the neces-
salaries. He pointed out clearly to
the assembled farmers that no purely
local adjustment can be permantly
satisfactory but that the solution Of
the problem must be nationwide.
AS an illustration of the financial
condition, he cited the fact that less
than one-half of one per cent of the
federal reserve bank loans go to the
financing Of the food producing bust
ness. He believed that a sane market
ing program, worked out steadily and
not under stress of immediate need, is
the only one that will stand, and said
if any national federation people
should attempt to tell the farmers of
the nation that they are going to
work out cure in 80 days, he hoped
the Lord would strike them dead for
life. He was in favor of as much pro.
lection for the farmers products as
has been given in the past to "infant
industries" He said that probably
not more than eight per cent of agri
cultural products will ever go to for.
eign countries, and that this country
should keep out competing food pro
ducts so as to give the farmer &
square deal.
AS result of considerable thought
and study, he gave it as his opinion
that there was positively nothing else
for the farmer to do but to fix fail
price on his manufactured products

FOR LESS COSTLY TAX PLAN

Several bankers from New York
have appeared before the Ways and
Means committee of the house in ad-
vocacy of the adoption of a sales tax
as revenue producer, Jules S.
Bache, Otto H. Kahn, and Meyer d.
Rothschild are some of the expert
financiers who see a remedy for most
of our tax troubles in a sales levy.
Their suggestions favor a levy of from
1-3 to 1 per cent on all turnovers,
and the claim is made that the ulti-
mate cost to the consumer would not
be increased more than a maximum
of 1-2 per cent thereby. They CON-
pare that slight increase with the
huge burden the consumer now pays
in the padded prices made possible
through the excess profits tax.

A BARGAIN

Here is one of the finest stock and
grain ranches we have ever had
listed. 1t has been tried and proved
that stock raising, where you can
rrHduce your own winter feed and
have good summer range is productive
of good returns in Gallatin valley.
This ranch has 1875 acres of decided
land, 1000 acres is plowed, 200 acres
in hay, go acres in wheat AMI 300
acres summer-fallowed, the price in
cludes all seed and feed on place, $50
head cattle, 80 head horses and mules
and all farm machinery, the improve
ments are good. Good open water,
water in hiuse. Owner also leases
$40 acres at a very reasonable price.
The price of this ranch including
everything on it, at anytime prior to
seeding time is $4,000 per acre. 90
10000 down, balance on good terms.

out that no sane business could be

that even though some of the people
of the cities seem to fear a great

tortionate prices, such fear is alb
surd, as unduly high prices would
