AGAINST SALES TAX

The American Farm Bureau OBJ
jects to raising the soldier bonus by
a sales tax, advocating extension Of
the excess profits tax instead Wash
ington Representative Gray Silver has
addressed the following letter to each
member of congress:
"The American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton is against the sales or manu-
factures tax for raising the soldier
bonus as suggested by the president.
We feel 1t is just as uneconomic to
places sales tax upon the people
for the purpose of giving a bonus to
soldiers as 1t is for raising revenue
for general government expenses. The
sales tax is levied upon the food,
clothing and the necessities OF life
OF the average man and does not take
the money from those who are most
able to pay.
"Taxes are already exceedingly high
and sales tax would only mean fur
ther burden upon the average indi-
vidual, and when we stop to consider
that the average income of each man,
woman and child in this country
whose income is below the income
tax level is only 1888 per year. the
American Farm Bureau Federation
believes it would be rank injustice
to raise further revenue for the SOL
dier bonus by this method. 1t would
take away from these people any
prospect Of accommodating a compe-
tence, no matter how small, and would
blight their hope OF bettering their
conditions. Not only would 1t cut
off their opportunity for saving, but
in countless instances 1t would mean
less food, fewer shoes and stockings.

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR THE
POULTRY INDUSTRY

Averaging the country over, there
are just about seven hens for each
two persons. Arizona has about
three hens for each two persons, so
we are short OF our quota by a very
considerable margin. The poultry
products Of the state amount to about
million and three -fourths dollars
annually now. We could more than
double the number of fowls and still
lack considerably of being up to the
number that would represent an av-
erage for the country over. Our pop
ulation increased in a larger percent
age than any other state in the
union during the last decade. II it
increases even half as much we must,
IL we supply the people of Arizona
with eggs and poultry. increase the
number of fowls TO a very large de-
gree.
There are two things that are
holding back the development of the
industry. One is lack of knowledge
regarding methods of handling poul-
try. The other is better facilities
for marketing.
If the college OF agriculture and
the state experiment station will en-
large the poultry plant at the ex-
pertinent station. SO that adequate
breeding and feeding experiments
may be conducted; will provide for an
egg laying contest similar to those

couragement of better poultry, and

FARM BUREAU NOTES
By Bureau Publicity Committee

The rice growers Of South Texas
nave been studying the California
plan or marketing crops and are ready
70 quit kicking and begin co-operat-
ing. They have been watching the
tomato, cotton, wool, hay, water
melon and other cooperative mar
keting associations doing business in
Iexas, and seem to be anxious to in
augurate a rice marketing associa-
ton on the Texas Farm Bureau plan.
The Texas Farm Bureau has been,
making careful study of the rice
marketing situation, and is now ready
70 render the rice growers all neces-
sary assistance to put over a real
marketing association in time to mar
ket this years crop. We understand
that the most fundamental principle
or cooperative marketing is pooling,
because 1t insures every member the
same treatment and distributes the
proceeds Of the sales equitably
throughout the year on the basis of
the average price received. Further
more, let it be distinctly understood
that the Texas Farm Bureau stands
Tor the longtime, legally enforcible
contract to protect dependable, loyal
members from the damaging effects
and the serious injury OF other mem
bers who, under various influences,
might desire to become sIackers on
their brother rice growers.
A Binding Contract
A cooperative rice marketing as
sociation in order to succeed must
have certainty OF rice to market,
hence a large percentage OF the rice
growers must be tied up under five
or seven year contracts to deliver
all OF their rice. The long term con-
tract gives an opportunity for proper
marketing connections and the Ieas-
ing or building of mills. There are
only three ways to avoid making de-
llveries when you sign Texas Farm

GRANGE OPPOSES TAX

r. c. Atkesen. the Oranges Wash :
ington representative, wrote letter
to Chairman j. w. FordneY which
says, in part:
"The National Grange Is unalter-
ably opposed to the sales tax or any
form of direct consumption tax for
the soldier bonus or for any other
purposes. All there is to be said to
Justify this opposition is summed up
in this quotation ascribed to Senator
Edge:
"Tt would be worth the price Of
the bonus to get the sales tax on the
statute books as a means of raising
revenue
'Tf it Is worth the cost OF the
bonus to get the sales tax fastened
on the pocketbooks of the people
least able to pay. the question is. TO
whom is it worth this cost? The
answer is, ITO those best able to pay
taxes, the larger and largest income
earning people who spend but part
of their income, and accumulate the
rest in places where it will not be
subject to the sales or any other
taxes
"The issue was never made as
plain as Senator Edge makes it. The
sales tax is a deliberate effort to
shift tax burdens from those best
able to pay to those least able to
pay. Once a sales tax is inaugurated,
backed with the power now urging 1t,
it is doubtful if it could ever be set
aside and we can look forward to
steadily diminishing taxes on large
incomes and inheritances and to
steadily increasing sales taxes to pay
the burden OF the government"

pie OF the state, we may expect the
poultry industry to become a $4,000, .
900 industry within the next five
years. The poultry department has
had only small appropriations during
the years that the experiment sta

not be good business, even when the

less coal for the stoves and more
crowded living quarters. 1t must be
remembered that the bulk of the rev.
enue if secured by a sales tax will be
derived from the taxes on food. fuel,
clothing and shelter.
I'VE feel that the passage of the
sales tax would cause many farmers
to so shape their farming operations
as to be more nearly sef-sustaining
and therefore still further reduce
business operations of our country.
The farmer now gets only 81 cents
of the consumers dollar and a sales
tax will reduce that amount. We
are glad. however. that congress has
seen fit to discard the proposed sales
tax once and the federation sincerely
hopes that it will do so again."

and eggs from prize winners. There
has grown up, unfortunately, a De-
lief which has been fostered some-
what by certain breeders, that prize
winner is not layer, and reasoning
from analogy and capitalizing the
credulity of the public, they have
advanced the claim that since their
birds were larger than standard. were
squirrel tailed or ross-eyed, and in
these characteristics differing from
standard bred birds, hence must as
a matter of course be good layers.
Certain wise breeders have taken
a middle course and have proved
that a prize winning bird does lay as
well as those that are freaks so far
as conformation to the standard quail
ifications is concerned. Breeders Of
this kind that are selecting for both
standard qualifications and for egg
production. will be the breeders that
will have stock and eggs that will be
most in demand
Day Old chieks
There are many poultry keepers
that cannot raise their own birds and
must depend upon the hatcheries. 1t
is to the advantage of such breeders
to demand that their day-old chicks
be from the right kind OF stock.
Poorly selected and flock-run eggs
are responsible for low egg produc-
ton. Poultry keepers can very ma
terially improve their flocks by Sc
lecting from the flock the best hens,
taking only those that indicate a
high egg production, that are near
standard in the breed which they
represent, and last and just as i'm
portant as the first two, strong in
vitality and free from disease. IL
hens thus selected are mated TO a
bird from a hen that is a. high pro-
ducer, and from a line of high pro-
ducers, and at the same time is near
standard bred, eggs will be obtained
that may be Matched at the CONNER
cial hatcheries and one can have his
own stock with an opportunity for
gradual improvement and without the
cost Of maintaining a Matching plant.
The expense OF few breeding pens
will be comparatively small.
Improvement OF the flocks by bet
ter breeding is one Of the great needs
Of the poultry interests of the Salt
River valley.

The following statement was read

zone day last week. while out of

noon papers an editorial commend
ing the action of the City Council in
denying the request Of some Of the
city departments for advances on ac7
count OF their appropriations, and
at the same time admonishing the
departments that they should keep
their expenditures within their bud
gets, and further. named the Street
and Sewer Department as one OF the
offenders.
Il wish to call to the attention OF
that paper and the public that thii
statement was an error. This de-
partment has not asked for any ad
vance payments during this flsca
year and will not unless something
very unusual and unforeseen hap
pens to demand It. The Council
fmaking this years appropriation q
the Street and Sewer Department
was the first Council in many year
to make to 1t the amount estimated
to meet its proper expenditures, an
we intend to justify their confidence
notwithstanding the many demand
made upon us that would excee
our resources which had to be ju
