CUT PRODUCTION
SAYS COOLIDGE
TO i. 5. FARMERS

CHICAGO, Dee. 5.-Reduce pro-
ductio' was the sdyicc President
Coolidge gave to farmers in a speech
here last night at the International
Live stock exposition.
Most Of the ills Of agriculture
come from oVcrproduction, Mr..
Coolidge declared, and not failure
Of the government to devise pan
accaS. s.
"I'hc troubles Of the farmer are
on the farm and in the market.
They come largely from overpro-
duction. We are searching for rem
edics.
"Thc sound remedy is to reduce
production and that is a remedy
which will automatically apply itself
if there is not artificial interfer-
encc,' Mr.. Coolidge declared en-
phatically.
The federal government is deing
everything within its power TO help
agriculture attain secure footing,
Mr.. Coolidge said, pointing ont that
$j,OOO,000 has been placed at the
disposal of the war finance corpora
tion and the war department during
the past three years. This money
was used TO help deflated agricul-
tural districts.
The President pledged his admin
istration to searching study Of the
needs Of the farmer and the enact
ment Of laws for their application
and observance.
General business and commerce
would derive great benefit from a
prosperous agricultural community,
the President declared, intimating
that all business men ought TO jump
in and help the farmers.

We had a great deal of trouble with

had been the most satisfactory rem

BUT WE STILL PAY THE PIPER

| BUT WE STILL PAY THE PIPER In our
brilliant dashtoward national bankruptcy for
seemingly tho we will not reach the real goal
there many persons who would head us that
way-the counties of the country lead the race.
! They are ahead of the states that created them,
tho some of the villages running them close
race in the wild expenditure handicap.
| Census figures show that in 1922 state govern
ments owed ST ,162, 648,OOO In 1912 their public
debt was only $422, 10000.
In 1912 the debts of the 5000 counties footed
to 1871 $4,000. In 1922 the debt has grown to
$1,000 36O0O; total increase of 268 per cent.
Che business man who would aid in causing such
an increase in his overhead expenditures would
be regarded as lunatic, yet peculiarly these same
business always ready to vote for public
expenditures without a thought of the conse-
quences
Whenever some public expenditure is suggest
ed the village home-dweer puts on his thinking
cap and hesitates, weighing the possible effect
on his pocketbook; but as soon as he learns the
burden can be shifted from the village to the coun-
~ then he becomes a rooter for improvement. He
pays the piper, of course, but the tax burden is
further removed. If the cost could be met by the
state, then he would not complain if the expendi-
ture were ten times what has ben suggested.
This popularity in human nature is reflected
most clearly in the great cities where the flat
jewellers do not personally pay taxes for anything.
The landlord pays them. He adds the amount of
his taxes to his rentals and he usually adds ten
per cent, more for good luck and safety. The
flat dweller pays and he pays thru the nose but
he doesn't realize it. In like way the small town
home dweler pays and pays thru the nose when
ever he fails to take an interest in local affairs
and permits county expenditures to run wild.
Time will come when the public conscience will
revolt against the selfish scramble for local i'm
provement at any price so long as the money can
be taken from the general purse. The outrageous
omnibus bills that disgrace national egisla-
ton give example. When we learn to knock
out Congressman because he has thrust his
fist into the grab-bag to get his for his district
instead of patting him the back and approving
the cheap graft, we will be better off morally and
financially
