Farmer the Goat
"The farmer has always had to pay
too much fer what he has to buy and
receives too little for what he has to
sell. They say that the prices Of all
commodities are fixed by the inexor-
able law cf supply and demand. This
is technically and economically true,
but the truth is that every other in
dustry has been able through legisla,
tion and through organization to cen
troll the supply, and thereby control
the price. The farmers have not been
assisted by legislation of this kind,
Congress has legislated in favor Of
labor, in favor Of the great industrial
organizations, railroads, banks, and
the like, but net in favor Of the farm
er.
"While the character Of this legis-
latiOn cannot be considered directly
as fixing prices, yet it is in reality
a species Of price fixing, and through
legislation these organizations and
these industries have received from
congress and legislatures valuable as
sistanee in controlling competition,
limiting the supply, and enabling them
to maintain profitable prices for then
commodities, and having in this way
received advantages which have been
denied or withheld from the greatest
Of all dustries-agriculture."

The losses were discovered early
IN the morning and the authorities

particular description of them has
been furnished the officers.

2. This campaign helps not only
to "clean up" but OF publicly and
permanently commit to cleanliness
and attractiveness everything
cleaned up. "The mere cleaning
is transient and futile without this
public commitment to the new Or
der of things, so that being "cloth-
ed in the garb of righteousness, y
as it were, and in it's new dress
of grass or shrubbery, thrift gar
den, or paint, the place will so in
spire the respect of everybody that
it will not be permitted to revert
to it's former disorderliness.
8. Streets and alleys are clean
ed up, repaired and thereafter kept
in good condition
f. Fire losses are reduced thru
the removal of waste and rubbish.
Fire traps are raZed and often are
replaced by modern buildings.

their return to disorderliness.

Industry Cleans Up and Paints Up
This is equally true in industrial
districts. Far-seeing business men
are providing not only daylight fac

and beautifying the adjacent
grounds. An instance is the Cen
trail Manufacturing District of Chi
cago. It's trustees and the owners
of the individual industries located
there are committed to the policy
of landscaping whenever possible
the vacant lands in that section.
That their last years program was
larger than ever before indicates
the value they place on this work.

the recommendation of the bureau
