The Agricultural Institute

The farmers institute, conducted here yester-
day and today, undoubtedly made many city
jewellers and rural residents appreciate more
fully the friendly relationship that must exist
between these two portions of our population,
and created better understanding of their COM
mon interests.
The institute was conducted on such broad
plane that both farmer and city man found much
food for thought and derived information that
will benefit him and the community whole.
Progressive cities have abandoned the mar
row view of looking only toward the development
Of their own civic affairs and beginning to
realize that the improvement of the rural dis
trcts is problem which cannot be ignored or
neglected. They have learned that the farmers
welfare reacts powerfully on the prosperity of
the city.
A municipality that neglects to heed the re-
quest of the farmer for better1nent of conditions
is stricken with blindness and unable to grasp
one of the fundamental causes of it's own pros
perity.s Let agriculture anguish; let the farmer
become discouraged and dismayed, and an almost
irreparable injury is done to the whole commun-

The Excess Profits Tax

According to j. Austen Chamberlain, chan
cellor of the British exchequer the excess profits
tax is to be withdrawn in that country and no
new tax is to be levied in it's place. The defects
inherent in the tax itself, the bad effect
it has had on enterprise, and its influence in re-
tarding establishments are some of the reasons
which he assigns for it's withdrawal.
All efforts in the United States to repeal the
excess profits tax have failed, although condi-
tons here are infinitely better than those that
are to be found in England. We are creditor
nation, our foreign trade has shown wonderful
growth, we are emerging slowly but safely from
the readjustment period but our progress is i'm
peded by the excess profits tax.
Congress might profitably address itself to
the repeal of this tax law. If hitherto it pointed
to England's example, it will find the worth OF
that argument destroyed by the recent announce
ment of Mr.. Chamberlain. Business and indus
try would feel the vvfying influence of tax re.

ity, for he is member of the same social organ
ization of which the city is only part and not
an entirety.
The appreciation of this important truth is
one of the hopeful signs in the solution OF the
farm problem. If the urban dweller understands
how absolutely dependent he is upon the pro-
Queer of foodstuffs, he will begin to that the
farmer is not negligible part but vital factor,
in our municipal and national life.
Let the city man understand the conditions
under which the farmer must work, the relatively
small return upon his investment, the discrepancy
between the farmers sales price and the cost to
the consumer, and he will approach with sympa-
thetic spirit and open mind the problems which
the farmer is forced to solve in order that he may
protect his investment and be assured a reason
able and just return.
The farmer believes, and rightly so, that the
urban dweller has not understood the farm prob
lem and that he has passed an unfavorable judg-
ment before he has carefully examined the facts.
Against the prejudiced viewpoint of the city
the farmer has been waging an educational cam
paign that lately has begun to bring results.
Instead of being an isolated unit of our COM
munity life, with an individual problem relat-
ing only to himself, the farmer today is being
accepted as an integral part of the whole COM
munity and his affairs are being viewed and con-
sidered as own.
The Richmond institute as we'll as the scores
of others that have been held in this district and
the hundreds that will be conducted all over the
country before spring, are powerful agencies in
driving home this new appreciation of the posi-
ton of the farmer in the social organization.
This mutual regard for the common interest of
the food producer and food consumer will create
cooperation and harmony, out of which will pro-
coed helpful and lasting results.

Hear Prof. Holden Tonight

Residents of Richmond should avail them
selves of the opportunity of hearing Prof. Holden
speak on Communities Are Made of Folks, Not
of Farms, Houses and Factories" The caption
of his address describes the contents of his
speech.
Our community is made up of agricultural
and industrial interests. Both occupy important
positions and have a bearing on our prosperity.
Prof. Holden will show that the men and women
of community are the vital elements in the
homes, farms and factories.
Some of our citizens may be laboring under
the delusion that the institute is designed solely
for the benefit of the farmers. This is mistake.
We who reside in Richmond have vital interest
in the institute and may learn many important
facts and truths by attending tonight's lecture.
If you believe that the speech will interest only
farmers, read the topic which Prof. Holden
will speak to convince yourself of your error.
Prof. Holden is one of the ablest men engaged
in agricultural work in the United States Our
appreciation Of the necessity of community spirit
and development will be measurably increased by
hearing his lecture tonight at the Coliseum.
