Getting at the Truth

The Punta Gorda Herald recently
said something about tourists who
had come via auto, through several
upstate places, having been told that
South Florida is no place for them
this year. We believe it said about
this:
One of party that drove from
Mantana to Punta Gorda says that aft
Gainesville they were warned and
urged not to go or even try to go.
to South Florida, if they valued their
auto and trailer and their very lives.
The roads were simply impossible
they were told, either being from six
inches to two feet deep in mud or
nlled with logs and even if they sue
ceeded in getting down in this Sec
ton, they would find the country in
the grip of epidemics of smallpox
diptheria, scarlet fever, measles and
every other disease to which human
flesh is heir"
Whereupon the Starke telegram
exclaims, What an idea!' and goes
on to say:

Or course we would not presume
to advise our able county commits
sioners, but it seems to us that the
thing for them to do, instead of hIr-
ing outside engineers, is to get en-
gineers from the State Road Depart
ment to make the surveys and esti-
mates for the proposed work on the
Tamiami trail. This would remove
the project from the realm of peanut
politics and would insure aid from
the state-eventually, at least. No
aid can be reasonably expected of the
state just at this time, but if the
work the county can afford to do is
carried out under state supervision,
state aid on a $3.50 basis will be
forthcoming when the state is able to
give it.

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS
CURRENT COMMENT

IN an addreAs before the Farm Blu
rcau 1t Leesburg, Va, recently
Henry Wallace, secretary Of agricui'
ture, gave some mighty interesting
and snlightening figures which show
that while othsf industrial chsses
may has cause to complain about
economic conditions. the farmer has
bssn hit hardest by defstion. The fig
ures show that in 1918 the average
wage received Cor mining . ton OF
coal in the United States would buy
IL bushels Of corn in Iowa, while in
1921 the average wage for mining 9
ton Of coal would buy 2.6 bushels. In
1918 the miners waee for mining
ton Of coal would buy a Of bushel
Of wheat in North Dakota, and IN
1921, 8 Of . bushel. In short the min
ers' wage in 1921 would buy more OF
the necensaries Of life in the raw
state than would the wages In 1913.
The same thing was true Of the rail-
road employees. The freight revenue
ton mile received by the railroads
in Iowa in 1918 would buy IA bushels
Of corn, while in 1921 the freight rev
enue ton mile would buy 81 bush
els. In 1918 the Iowa farmer could
buy a ton of ordinary coal I. o. b.
mines for the price Of "a bushels OF
corn; in 1921 II took 81 bushels TO
buy this ton Of coal. While the pur-
chasing power Of the wage earners
wages In 1921 was from 80 to 30 per
cent greater than in 1918, the pur-
chasing power Of the farmers pro-
ducts was from 20 TO rs per cent less
than in 1918. In short, the farmers
make up the only class that cannot
buy as much or more with their pro-
ducts than they could nine years ago.
Wallace is not complaining
that wages are too high; he Is insist
ing that the farmer has been hardest
hit. There is another thing that the
secretary might have said: While the
prices Of the farmers products have /
relatively largely declined his taxes
have increased and so has the rate
Of interest he must pay, Before there
Fan be permanent prosperity the far
mer must prosper and before pros
perity returns to him there are sew
sral readjustments that must be
made. First, the prices OF farm pro-
lucS must either be materially adj
,Hnced or the prices Of the things
10 must buy must be materially de-
'ressed. Second; Freight rates must
~ lowered so the cost Of getting his
PRODUCTS to market will be decidedly
'edueed. Third: The burden Of tax
Is must be lessened. Fourth; In
crest rates must come down to the
,oint where the rate Of interest on the
money borrowed will not exceed the
versge net earnings on the farmers
spital.
