the World War is universally ap-
proved, but Congress cannot afford
to discriminate when the demand ex-
ceeds the supply.
Perhaps the most important meas
ure presented to Congress during the
first week was the administrations
draft of a tax bill prepared under
the direction of Secretary of Treas
NY Mellon. President Coolidge has
given the plan his unqualified ap-
proval. 1t deals with the abolition
Of taxes on admission to theatres and
other so-called nuisance taxes. The
tax reduction proposals will meet
with strong opposition from the So
called LaFollette bloc, which has a
plan calling for restoration of excess
profits taxes and increases in sur
taxes.
It is doubtful whether tax reforms
will be possible at this session. The
LaFollette group has demonstrated
its ability to throw a wrench into the
legislative machinery. The fact
that the Republican leaders have
been forced to compromise in the or
g%anization of the House, has given
the clique confidence in their ability
to control the majority. There are
some legislators wiling to allow the
tax reduction measures to fail of pas
sage at this Congress in order to
make political capital in the Presi-
Dental campaign in 1924.
If Congress were to give its at
tention exclusively to the bills in
troduced the first two days of the
new session, its time would be fully
taken up until adjournment on Mar.
4th. Fortunately for the Nation, the
three thousand proposals dumped in

ed by organizations and restricted
immigration avs. We urge that il
a high protective traiff system is
right and good business for the East
that we should have the same pro
lection for III agricultural commun-
tiles in the West.
The main reason for the poor con-
dition of agriculture, not only in
Montana but in the entire Northwest
as well, is because the purchasing
power of the general agricultural
dollar is at present 81 cents, and the
wheat raiser's dollar so cents. This
is due to the fact that the price of
agricultural commodities is much
lower than the price the farmer must
pay for necessities of farming and
farm life. If agriculture is to be
saved the purchasing power OF the
farmers dollar must be raised.
Agriculture does not seek or need
more farm loans. What We need
most is a fair price for agricultural
commodities in order that we may
pay up the hugh debt which is still
accommodating on the agricultural in
dustry. This can only be accom-
plished by higher prices on agricul-
tural commodities.
Debts Incurred
The hugh agricultural debt has
largely been incurred in the last ten
years during the period Of the World
War and since, especially during the
period of the World War, when
prices were inflated and prices on
farm commodities. were very high.
After the war prices on farm COM
modities dropped almost over night,
and the purchasing power of the
farmers dollar has been very low
ever stree. Since this debt was in
Cured during a period of high prices
how can it be possible for a farmer
to pay off this huge debt with prices
of farm commodities as low as they
are at present? The farmer is bare
" able to nav the interest on his debt
to say nothing of the problem of
cutting down the Indebtedness.
Our interests must be efficiently
represented at WASHINGTON. We
may as well give up the idea that the
East will give us the measures that
justice entities US to, merely for the
asking. We have crown weary of
asking. Ten or IL of the western
states must organize for this pro-
cram and make a united DEMAND
for the measures that will give west
ern AGRICULTURAL industries a fair
deal. We are heavily in debt to the
East but we still have an equity
we must fight to protect.

AMERICAN PRICES FOR AMERI.
CAN GRAIN

Those engaged in the great task OF
working out the salvation of western
agriculture have brought forward q
truly progressive idea, and a feasible
one, in the export commission plan.
It is based on reason, justice, equity
and sound business-it looks good
from every side, to US Of the West.
No doubt the grain and milling trade
and the eastern tariff experts vii
hold adverse views.
That is the reason we must fight
for it. Not plead for, but DEMAND
through the power Of united votes,
not a European, but an American
valuation on American wheat. When
space permits the Herald will pub
fish explanatory matter pertaining
to the export plan.

forty million dollars. This measure
was enacted March 4, 1918. Owing
to the war conditions another omni-
bus bill, proposing the expenditure
of 62 million dollars failed to pass
the Congress a few years later. 1t
has been estimated that more than a
hundred million dollars would be re-
quired to meet the demands for new
post offices and other structures
maintained by the Federal Govern
ment. With nationwide approval
given to proposals to reduce taxes,
it is obvious that Congress will not
appropriate large sums for post
offices at this time even though for
political reasons such action would
be desirable.

Germany can be made to make an

Fourth, security against renewed
aggression by Germany and her allies.
THE treaty was signed by the rep
resentatives of the German people
and not the representatives of the
Kaiser's government 80 that obliga-
ton taken under the treaty became an
obligation to which the German peo-
/ pie, through their accredited repres-
entatives, gave their assent.
Now the first object, the provision
of a system OF international control of
the peace of the world was attained in
the League of Nations. How far the
present peace of the world. if the
world can be said to be at peace, is
attributable to the League of Nations

"The second object, responsibility
for the war was fixed and the punish
ment of the German leaders and
their baskers, the German people,
was undertaken
"The third object, indemnity. was
provided for by series of payments
to be undertaken by Germany.
The fourth object, the guaranty
that Germany would keep the peace,
was sought in the continued occupa-
lion Of German territory and in the
practical abolition of the German
navy, the limitation of the army, the
'estriction of the manufacture of war
Material, and the prohibition of the

Without the Ruhr, Germany, already

es the danger, not only in that par
