About 300 Shelby county farmers
met at Shelbyville Monday to pro-
test against present valuations on
live stock and land. A petition signed
by 1000 citizens, asking that farm
land valuations be changed from $40
an acr to $40, was sent to the State
Tax Commission. The meeting also
asked that horses be decreased from
$50 to $32; mules from 500 to $40;
cattle from 500 to $50. The county
judges will make an effort to have
the changes made at once in order
that taxes collected next fall may be
on the lower basis.

caused by violent fluctuations in the

withheld, tells the following story.
1913 broilers that weighed IL pounds
each, When ready to take them to
Monroe, roads were too bad, so we
took them to S%toutsville, where they
were 4S cents a pound. Before we
could coop them, it rained and we
waited until the next day. When we
got there with 81 broilers, the price
had dropped to 4S cents. Thursday
merchants said broilers were still 4S
cents but just before we started to
town with the remaining 80 head
they called and said only 33 cents

Bisbee daily review., 1922-11-12

caused Secretary Wallace to call a conference recently fthe officers of the department having to do with livestock and meat production dis tribution and utilization. All phases of the meat problem were discussed including the principles that must govern the department in widening the market and promoting the con sumption of meat. On that phase of the question, Charles J. Brand, consulting specialist in marketing, stated:
 ''The department cannot promiscu- ously urge people toeat more meat, though it can with full propriety urge consumers to use meat wisely to secure well balanced meals. It can also point the wholesomeness of meats, it's protein-furnishing and
 n building value, i.s ready avail ability, and it's high place in the nutrition of making.

The commodity exports and imoprts between Europe and the United States in the fiscal year ending June 30. 1922, were as follows:
 U. S. Exports
 to Europe ..................... $2 ,061 OPT ,6Qs U. s. Imports
 from Europe 63U,413,712
 Europe's adverse balance with us is thus greater by s73,381, ,3O4 than is the adverse balance of the world as a whole with us. The same thing ap- pears when the figures for gold and silver are examined. Instead of the 450 millions balance mentioned in MT. Hoover's figures, Europe has a bal ance of only 360 millions with the United States.
 Viewing the relations between Eur ope and the United States alone dur ing the fiscal year just passed, it ap- pears that Europe had a deficit, rather than surplus of 750 millions, on cur rent items.
 Tn so far, moreover, as Europe's paying power in our markets comes from shipments of gold. it is bad sign rather than good sign. We have too much gold already, and Europe has too little. It is evidence of weak ness rather than of strength that she is obliged to continue draining her in- adequate gold reserves in order to meet obligations in this country. It is, moreover, conclusive evidence that Europe has no such surplus paying power in our markets as Mir Hoover's figures would indicate"

GOVERNMENT TO
 AID LIVESTOCK
 MEN IN SLUMP
Will do What It Can to Stim- ulate Increase in Consump-
 ton of Different Meats

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-(By the Associated Press)-The government has decided to come to the aid of the livestock industry and do what it can to stimulate the use of meat. A decrease of more than 25 pounds per person in the amount of meat eaten a year in the United States is shown ny latest statistics.
 During the war increase or live stock production and consumption were urged with most effective artillery of propaganda" the depart ment of agriculture said today. We are now producting heavily with continued inhibition of consumption, particularly by reason of high prices. The price situation varies with re- spect to the different kinds of meat and with respect to the different cuts of the same kinds of animals. Consumers can help the livestock in- dustry-and also their own pocket books-by using a wider variety of kinds and cuts of meat.
 Many persons still hold to the belief, which was largely the out growth of unfair and misguided pro- paganda that meat is not healthy. Medical science has proved over and over that a large number of ills once charged against meat eating are due to infection of the teeth, tonsils and other organs"
 The huge decrase in the amount of meat eaten and its detrimental eff fects on the livestock industry

Help Europe by Considering Loans Made by US. as Banking Problems,
 IS Plea of Dr. Benjamin Anderson
Prominent Economist Declares That Allied Debts Cannot Be Paid if Used as Political Fodder Assails Tariff
 as Financial Absurdity and Menace to Trade

blem," was one of the best ever
 given before an audience in Bisbee.
 Plunging quickly in tho very heart
 of his subject, Doctor Anderson dis
 cuSSed the causes and effects of
 wartime prosperity, both from the
 American and Allied ciewpoints, and
 outlined suggestions for the eventual
 liquidation of their financial obli-
 gations to this country by debtor
 nations.
 Tn order to collect any consider able amuunt of these debts, we must patiently and sympathetically eX-
 plore with out debtors the whole situation, and cooperate with them in solvening their difficult problems" :"
 Not until conditions in Europe were greatly improved, said Doctor Anderson, could any appreciable de- gree of pros sperity be expected in the United States. He assailed the recent protective tariff adopted by congress as a financial absurdity" chance European industries might have had of getting on. their feet again.
 Low Production in Europe
 Europe today is producting even less before the war, he said, and existing only through the credit ex- tended it. This system, he said, could not continue much longer. Doctor Anderson proposed that the allied debts be considered wholly as a banking problem, and that plans for liquidating the loans be left nations involved, instead of being buffeted about by diplomats and pol iticians ever willing to play" to the voters, regardless of whether or not they accomplished a:iy thing.
 After the Armistice signed" said Doctor Anderson, Tt was expected that Europe would go ack. to work, and that liquidation and a sharp break in prices would follow in this country. The nation was pre- pared for that, and, had it taken place, We would be in far better than we are today. There was slight break in prices in April and May 1919, but only for a short period. Prices took an upward swing in the latter part of 1919 and 1920, and all expectations failed. The cri- sis we were prepared for did not come.
 Europe did not go back to work. by the war, Europe con- tinued to live on her credit, pro- ducing less than before the war. The United States, I believe, is great ly to blame for the conditions ia Europ. We delayed agreeing on the peace treaty too long. Had we speed fly approved the Versailles or any other treaty, even one including a League of Nations clause, condi- {! tions would be much better in Eur ope and the United States today. European nations wanted to know just where they would stand-just what the United States was planning But We delayed for months and did nothing to controyert

the growing industrial ard economic unrest ill European nations.
 Urges industrial Balance
 What is the situation in Europe today3s Production is low. Exchange rates are low Credit is low. Ger many was foolish enough to start it's printing press and turn out mil lions of marks, flooding the world with them until the German mark is almost worthless.
 France is running a deficit of 90 million francs year. and the deficit has been greatest since the Armistice Belgium is deeply in debt, and increasing that debt every year"
 Doctor Anderson urged that the industries of the nation be balanced, and that an equalization system be followed that would do away over production in some lines and under production in others. If industries were adjusted and balanced, supply and demand would balance, said the speaker Europe was out of balance with the rest of the world, he de clared, and denounced the protective tariff as a trade barrier that would force the entire world out of bal ance to the disadvantage of every nation, including ours.
 We need, Europe on her feet to send us her manufactured goods, he declared. But that will never happen with our protective tariff" Extracts from Dr. Anderson's ad- dress follow:
 q believe that we can go further by viewing this problem as banking
 problem than we can by viewing It
 either as a matter of sentiment or as a pawn in the game of domestic poll ' tics. I see no reason for questioning 1 the righteousness of these debts. We
 made the loans in good faith and Flu
 rope gave us in good faith her prom ! ises to pay. [ recognize that there is l force in many of the considerations
 resting on grounds of sentiment which | have been offered for modifying the 1 debt, but it seems to me unnecessary 1 to take account of them, particularly . since strictly banking viewpoint | would lead to many of the conclusions | which these more sentimental argu- ments suggest It is not necessary 1 to urge moral or sentimental grounds ! for refraining from cXacting the ] pound of flesh, when economic and ! banking considerations so clearly l point the way.
 If bank were in the position of i the United States government of hay { ing made bad loan. or loan diff ! cult of collection, and if it could not collect in full at maturity, it would consider compromise proposals, involv ! ing extension of time. reduction of in- ] terest rate waiving of interest for a period. ,etc. The bank would, more oyeE inquire inio the dst@ls tof tlIe i debtors Position, aBGludirig 1iS assets
