BUREAU REFLECT
REED AND OUTLINE
PROGRAM FOR 1924
Organization and Corpora
tive Marketing Chief Pro-
jects Coming Year.

The fifth annual convention of
the Minnesota Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton, held in st. Paul, Jan. 8,
9 and 10, unanimously reelected
J. F. Reed president and adopted
a program of work for 1924, the
outstanding features of which
are demands that the Farm
Bureau strive to obtain a strong
local organization in every town
ship in the state and continue its
assistance in the up-building of
cooperative marketing associa;
tions. An essential part of the
development of township unit
associations will be an aggressive
program of home and community
activities.
The convention was notable
for its lack of time consuming
The delegates spent
most of the three days studying
specific problems with which the
Farm Bureau will concern itself.
Early in the life Of the conven-
ton it was divided into small
groups and a special subject was

groups, submitted at the closing
sessions, form the basis of the
1924 program. More than $50
delegates attended.
This was the third time that

expired, were reelected for three
years without opposition. Hag-

The first days session was held
at University Farm, in connec-
ton with Farmers and Home

included President Reeds annual
address and a review of the Farm
Bureau as a national institution
by o. E. Bradfute, president of
the American Farm Bureau Fed

son of Pella, Iowa, spoke on the
Farm Woman's interest in the

it was in 1922 and the number of
counties in good standing showed

MORE DISTRIBUTION

The work of picturing the Mel
Ion tax plan as general relief
measure goes on merrily with
propagandists, especially in the
daily press. How much is the
general public interested in hav-
ing income and surtaxes reduced
for those earning $1,000 or more
a year? Not much. And further
more, anyone earning $4,000 or
more per year can well afford to
pay 2 or 3 per cent of his income
toward government expense and
debt. And who would not rather
earn $1,000 a year and pay 4 or
s per cent or whatever the rate
is?--the rate going up with in
creasing incomes.
The excuse given out for in
come and surtax reduction as
proposed in the Mellon plan is
that money is needed for indus
trial and general business ex-
pansion, the rich cannot expand
business il their earnings go into
tax. Sounds good and is some
thing that people are supposed
TO fall for, and many do. But
why should the rich continue to
be those responsible for business
expansion? Don't we often read
reports Of how many thousand
stockholders the railroads have,
also the American Bell Telephone
CO.. the packers, even the STAN
dard Oil Co. and many Others
published by themselves? Let
the lists swell and not have the
bulk OF the stock in the hands of
the few. Conditions should not
be such that we should bow to
the wealthy TO have business and
industrial expansion thus provid-
ing more work for the needy, but
is that not just what we are do
ing when we cry for tax reduc-
tion under the Mellon plan in or
der that the rich may use their
earnings for greater business ex-
pansion instead of paying big
taxes which in the final analysis
have to be paid by somebody!
A good illustration of the fact
that the general public is not
warming up to the Mellon tax
plan is contained in the st. Paul
Pioneer Press and Dispatch. AT
ter running a ballot in their pub
lication for several days-publi-
cations which have thousands of
subscribers over the Northwest.
they have been able to muster
up straw vote of but about
1900. OF course the ratio is
about 5 to l for the plan. Peo-
pie simply pass it up for they
know which way it is supposed
and desired to go.
One of those voting" in favor
of the plan in the Pioneer Press
sends the following notation with
his vote:
II am convinced that Mr.. Mel
Ion can see that this Is the only
way 10 relieve the public from a
heavy burden Of taxation. II will
also open the way for placing
greater capital In the avenues Of
industry and trade"
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1924-01-17

farm income and that natural re-
sources be conserved for the ben
eft of all people.
The program recommends COM
modify cooperative marketing as
the best type and points out that
the aim of farmer-owned selling
agencies should be to substitute
orderly marketing for the
present practice of dumping a
crop at harvest time.
Steps to stabilize labor condi-
tions so that farmers will have
adequate help are urged.
The resolutions, which supple
ment the Agricultural Program,
endorse a proposal to establish a
commission to handle the export
able surplus of wheat or any
other farm commodity, common
ly known as the Wallace plan.
Legislation to relieve livestock
shipping associations of handi-
caps which have resulted from
the Federal Packer and Stock
yards Control act is asked. Books
of cooperative associations, the
resolution say, should be audited
under the direction of the State
Department of Agriculture,
rather than office of the Public
Examiner. A policy of retrench-
ment in taxes is strongly urged.
The convention enthusiastically
passed resolution against any
reduction in the tariff on butter
and vegetable oils.
The president is to appoint a
committee of women who are to
prompt home and community
work, in cooperation with Mrs.
4. V. Ripley, member of the state
executive committee.
The farm machinery plant at
Saltwater, the resolution says,
should be expanded until it is
manufacturing a full line.
A resolution instructs the adj
ministrative officers to bring to
the attention of state and federal
authorities, practices on the part
of creamery centralizers which,
delegates charged, are unfair to
local cooperative creameries.
The business affairs of the en-
tire Farm Bureau movement was
given a great deal of attention.
1t was agreed that when a farm
err, anywhere in the state, pays a
SIS membership, he has right
to expect that $3.50 will be used
for county work, that 81 will be
expended in promoting the State
Federation and that so cents
should go to support the national
offices at Chicago and Washing
ton. Farm Bureau officials who
