reau Federation IN ESTABLISHING
Bureau of Research to collect and
interpret facts and figures relative
to the production Of farm products
and live stock and conditions which
influence supply and demand.
We demand Of state and various
County Oficials a more efficient and
economical administration of pub
lie affairs and a general retrench-
ment of public expenses, and es-
pecially call their attention to the
fact that- during this time OF de-
preston and deAation from war
time conditions, it is no time to in
crease the expenses and thereby i'm
pose additional burdens of taxation
on the people, and that all public
service should be stripped of ex
travagance, waste and partisan ia
voritism.
! We must unreservedly condemn
the operation of the present State
, Tax Law, wherein it imposes I'M
equal and unjust burdens upon real
! estate and urge on amendment
thereto which will more Justly and
equitably distribute the burden of
taxation ufon the various classes OF
r-cYc~... a-a urge thct cech County
Farm Bureau use all legitimate eff
fort to see that competent men from
their County be elected to the next
State Legislature favorable to such
| amendments; We further recon-
mend the strengthening and broad
ening of the Blue Sky Law, in order
! that il may be made more effective
! and more nearly meet the purpose
! FOR which it was enacted, and fur
Their desire to go upon record as not
, desiring any more consideration in
! a legislative way than any other in

! much.
We desire to commend the efforts
of tobacco growers of the State or
Kentucky in their efforts to affect an
| organization for the general better
ment of the tobacco situation in this
State and elsewhere, and while we
recognize that such movements are
not, and necessarily cannot be, ex-
elusive Farm Bureau movements,
get we desire to go on record as
pledging our support to them in this
great and much needed move, and
our desire to assist and cooperate
with them in all ways in which the
State Federation can be of service
TO them in forming such an organi-
cation.
That the President of the Ken
lucky Farm Bureau Federation be
Instructed to communicate with
President Howard of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, request
Ing him to communicate with the
leading agricultural and tobacco or
ganizatiOns in the tobacco produc-
ing states, asking them to submit
list OF names from which Com
mittee shall be selected to consider
The tobacco industry of the United
States and formulate a Nationa!
Marketing plan similar to the work
of the Committee Of Seventeen on
Grain and the Committee of Fifteen
on Live Stock.
Whereas it appears that a Commit
tee has been appointed in the Bur-
ley Tobacco District to work out
plans for a permanent organization
of the Burley Tobacco growers or

We recognize the great service
being rendered in legitimate way
by the various marketing agencies,
and pledge our support to such con-
structive and progressive policies as
will tend to improve such agencies
and the service rendered by them;
but we deny the right OF men who
perform no useful service, either as
PRODUCERS, distributors, or manufac-
