making the farm loan bonds free Of
Federal taxes Of all kinds, with the
possible exception of the inheritance
tax. The question Of the inheritance
tax has been brought up, but not yet
settled. AS it is q fundamental rule
that states cannot tax income derived
from the obligations of the Federal
government the income holders Of the
farm loan bonds is entirely free of any
assessments.
System Shows Profit.
The land banks, operating or the
present basis, are making money. They
are paying their annual six per cent
dividends, and are laying by little
reserve each year which can be COM
nanded by the farmers in a pinch.
The cost of the board in Washington,
which is composed Of four members
with the addition Of the secretary OF
the treasury, who is eX-off1cio chair
man, is in the neighborhood of $780,
900 yearly. For some reason congress
insists on paying the cost Of the board
itself, despite the fact that the mem
bers have asked that these expenses be
borne by the banks, so that the system
would be entirely self-supporting.
For fear that conditions might arise
which would make the sale Of bonds
too difficult at the present interest rate,
there is some agitation for increasing
the limit Of interest the bonds may
bear. There is bill at present before
the bs--king and currency committee OF
the senate, which, if pasesd by con-
gress, and approved by the president
would make the limit on interest on
the bonds S 1-2 per cent This power
vested in the board. would make it GER
tain, advocates Of the bill claim, that
the market value Of the bonds would
always be great enough to compete
with other offerings, and insure their
speedy sale. A failure to sell bonds
would result, they say, in tying up this
system now working so smoothly.
The bonds issued have always been
of the "ten-twenty year" variety. That
is, they are redeemable at par by the
land banks at the end Of 20 years, but
with the option on the part of the
banks of calling the bonds in at the
end of ten years. This provision was
included so that the board could take
advantage Of any conditions which
might arise in the financial word
without impairing the bonds as perma-
ncnt income producing investments 'oi

Such matters are regulated wholly
by public opinion and organization
on the part of the consumer and pro-
ducer. Upon this point Mr.. Ander-
son makes the following very perti-
nent comment:
"After all, the producer and the
consumer are the largest factors in
the problem. They are the most nu-
merous, but they are at the same
time the least influential because the
products and the selling power of the
one and the { requirements and the
buying power of the other are unor-
ganized. If we find way to organ
ize the products and selling power of
the producer, on the one hand, and
the requirements and the buying
power fthe consumer, on the other,
and if we can apply the same genius
of organization to distribution that
has been applied to production, we
will have taken a long step in the So
luton of the problem"

ENDING EASY MONEY.

One of the reforms proposed by the
new national budget system, indorsed
by the chairman of the appropriations
committee, would root out one of the
time-hOnored laxities in federal fin
ance. This is the custom that has
grown up of authorizing continuing
or permanent appropriations for cer-
tain purposes, bureaus or depare-
ments, They usually covered fixed
activities, such as the continuance of
programs carried on from year to
year until completed. Originally
urged by administrative officials in
the fear that congressional failure
to appropriate each year might halt
the work, they have expand
ed into a custom that meant the ap-
preparation of certain sums almost
without investigation, Just as a mat
ter Of routine.
This species of "easy money" invit-
ed abuse, careless spending and ex-
travagance. Chairman Madden and
Mr.. Dawes have concluded to stop the
practice. Hereafter each department
will have to carry all it's expenditures

vestigated annually and must be be-

The protest movement has helped

the field for effective protest is linn

the problem of the new state admin

into the exact sizes needed in con-
structing his cars, thereby saving
both wood and freight, Henry Ford
has erected an up-to-date saw mill
at Iron Mountain, Michigan. Mr..
Ford has over four hundred thousand
acres of land in this region which he
expects to manage by scientt6e-for-
estry methods for the purpose of fur
nishing his mill with a permanent
supply of timber.
Seven billion feet of lumber are
annually used for dimension stock by
the wood using industries of the coun-
try, such as furniture, vehicle, and
wood turning manufacturers.
In the absence of standardized
grades, most Of this material is sawed
into planking at the saw mills and
shipped in that form to the wood US
ing factories, where it is necessary to
re-cut it into dimension sizes. This
re-sawing causes a waste of eighty
| per cent or more of the total value of
the tree, in addition to the large f.
nancial waste in the transportation
of planl1ing. Definite dimension stock
standards, permitting the saw mill to
convert the log directly into the form
requireJ by the wood using industries
will eliminate waste of four or five
billion feet annually, says the United
State Forest Service.
