adays, when he comes to buying
market, he spends whole days and
corresponding numbers of. dollars in
living costs while attending to his
needs. AT the mart the farmer will
be able to accomplish in a day what
at present 1t takes him a week to do,
because about everything under the
sun that is wanted on a farm will be
assembled in one place. The ruralist
will have before him there an en-
barrassment of riches in the way OF
choice and assortment, and the rules
of the mart will guarantee him
against highwaymanship. It's the
Jesse Jameses of big business that
the farmer today mostly fears In
his eyes they are usually manufactur.

that many of them live In New Eng

so that 1t can be converted, as de-
sired, into an assembly place to seat
1000 or 5000 or 10000. When re-
quired for other purposes than con-
ventions the hall can be turned into
a place for huge exhibits like the
great dairy show or the live stock
show, or some of the other big dis
plays which the agricultural industry
holds from time to time.

DENIES J. S. CLERKS
ARE. UNDERWORKED
Employees Federation Presi-
dent Also Declares Their
Pay Is Inadequate.

Declaring mo greater fallacy is
current in the public mind than that
the Federal employe is overpaid, un-
derworked and unworthy of his hire. -
Luther c. Steward president of the
National Federation of Federal EN-
ployes, announced last night that at
the forthcoming convention of the
federation at Boston in September
''every effort will be made to place
Government employment, so far as
salaries are concerned, on a basis
comparable to those in private in
dustry."
The movement in behalf of the
Federal worker, Mr.. Steward said,
would be preliminary to IAN inten-
sive campaign to put the facts con-
corning Government personnel, en-
fore the next Congress"
Alleges "Misinformation."
Much misinformation." said Mr..
Steward, has been disseminated con-
corning the people who work for the
Government. Writers. politicians and
dema gogues all have tried to make
capital by explaining to the public
that the Government worker was
drawing the very life blood out of the
Nation and draining the pockets of
the taxpayer.
These statements have not been
allowed to go unanswered, yet once
disseminated they go the rounds of
the press, the rostrum and the po-
litical soap box.
mo greater fallacy is current in the
public mind than that the Federal en-
ploye is overpaid, underworked and
unworthy of his hire. designations
from the Federal service have in
creased at tremendous rate in re-
cent months. The Government now Is
in competition with private industry
for highly trained scientists. tech
nicians and experts in every line of
endeavor.
Duty of the Government.
Unless the Government can meet
the salaries offered by private indus
try, so that these scientists and ex-
pertS may continue their research ac-
ttVitfes, the Nation as a whole will
suffer, and much of the good coming
forth from the Government labora-
tories will never see the Sight of day"
The statement calls attention to the
obvious erroneous charge" that there
are from 10000 TO 100000 superf1uous
employees on the Government pay roll
in Washington. 1t is pointed out that
the official figures of the United States
Civil Service Commission show that
on April 80, 1925, there were slightly
in excess of $1,000 employees in the
Government service in Washington,
while in the entire Nation and the
island possessions there were less than
100000 employees, reduction of ap.
proximately a half million from. the
war peak five years ago.
The average salary, according to the
statement, is approximately SIPS a
month, while many of the employees in
technical work and other exacting en-
pIoyment receive even less than that

Demand Balanced Tariff"


The Coolidge doctrine of self-help by
and for the farmer is as much the
handspring of the project as the Davi-
son idea from which 1t originally
sprang. When the mart is a going
concern, a couple of years hence, the
American farmer will be in a position
to help himself as he never was be-
fore. His most conspicuous demand at
this moment Is for buying facilities
that viii give him squarer deal than
he's now getting. That's why the
farmer is clamoring for "a balanced
tariff" He feels that he has to pay
for what he buys prices out Of fair
proportion to those he gets for what
he sells. The mart deliberately aims
to enable the farmer to buy his chief
essentials, at least those he needs for
actual working of his farm and har-
vesting of his crops, under the most
favorable possible conditions. To that
end the enormous floor space units"
of the mart will be leased, exclusively
for long terms, to industries that sup
ply the farmers needs. These will
run the whole gamut from the finest
motor-driven agricultural or electrical
equipment of the nails the farmer
needs to build a fence or the white
lead with which to paint it.
No purveyor Of things the farmer
has to have, whether 1t be a mighty
corporation able to lease an entire
floor of the mart, or humble little
business that can afford only the mini
mum unit" of space, will be tolerated
in the building except under certain
strict and well fought-out conditions.
These contemplate mainly plans for
stabiIizing prices and generally provid-
ing order where now, in many direc-
tions, chaos rules, when the farmer
enters the market as buyer Of indis-
pensable commodities. There are to
be rigid rules governing display, offer,
pricing, sale and delivery Of everything
