The single voice raised in congress

TAX REDUCTION
SENATE FIGHT
In COLLAPSE
Dawes Rules Revenue Leg
islatiOn Must Originate
In House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. ~ The
charge of the democratic cohorts in
the senate designed to force their re-
publican colleagues on record against
tax reduction at this session collapsed
suddenly today under the fire of ad-
verse rulings by Vice President Dawes.
The majority withdrew from the fiery
political skirmishing with the prelimi-
nary address, with the parliamentary
advantage, but the minority laid claim
to moral victory by building up what
it claimed was record that would
make it clear to the country that the
republicans were responsible for the
failure to ease the tax burden.
Confronted with President Coolidge's
own proposal for a 10 per cent tasa
credit this year, offered by Senator
Reed of Missouri as an amendment to
the pending deficiency bill, republican
spokesmen conceded the titular leader
of their party had made mistake in
advancing it.
With few exceptions, the dozen sena-
tor who participated in three hours of
debate declared in favor of tax reduc-
tion now instead of in the presidential
political year of 1928, but pointed out
that under the constitution revenue
legislation must originate in the house.
Before Vice President Dawes exer-
cised his seldom used right to shut off
the debate there had been a sharp andI
even personal exchange across the po-
litical dividing aisle of the chamber,
with Smoot of Utah and Glass of Vir-
ginia on the one hand, and Reed of
nd of ~ nj
the other, contradicting each other in
abrupt fashion.
The vice president, who so fre luent-
ly has inveighed again unlimited de-
bate in the senate, let the discussion
run freely until mid-afternoon, when
he broke in on Senator George of
Georgia to announce his readiness toI
rule that the Reed amendment was in
contravention of the rules and conse-
quently out of order.
The Missourian noted an appeal from
this ruling, then withdrew it and of
fered similar amendment, but chang
ed in phraseology. Warren of Wyo-
ming, the venerable chairman of the
appropriations committee made al
point of order against that as legisla
tion on an appropriation bill, and was
upheld.
Reed announced that this amendment
was a subject to a point of order and
allowed the ruling to stand without
objection or appeal. The democratic
fight was abandoned with such sud
denness that for a few minutes the
galleries could not understand jusbi
what had happened.
Lenroot enlightened them with the
declaration that now it was known
that since yesterday the democrats

wild hay or other roughages, IA days
of pasture, 70 hours of man labor,
and $57 per horse of shoeing, veter-
mary service, and medicine. This
represents total of about $500
worth of feed which if not fed to
horses must be marketed.
1t would require several times the
amount of salable products that it
takes to produce horse to represent
tractor value. 1t would likewise
take an equal amount of not a great
er amount to buy oil, gas, and re-
pairs to do the same labor as horses
would do as compared to power ma
chinery. Then the effect that this
would have on the general prices of
farm crops would be an item hard to
stipulate in even round numbers but
would certainly have bearing on
prices if horses were replaced with
tractor power to any appreciate ex-
tent. The present reduction of hors-
es is certainly being felt with the
horse population decreasing on the
farm to such large extent that this
effect has done three things; first,
it has turned more acres that were
producing hay and pasture into corn
and oats land; second, it has thrown
more oats and corn on the market
than before because of less horses on
the farm and because of more acres
of oats and corn; and third, because
fewer horses were used in cities and
towns more of the oats and corn that
once found a ready market now has
to seek an outlet in other countries
thus creating surplus.
Other things have happened also
that have reduced the consumption of
oats and corn. Through better feed
ing methods and less waste, farm
ers are now producing hundred
pounds of pork or beef or butter fat
with less corn and oats. There has
been a change in the nations human
diet that calls for less corn and oats
so that the market cannot use as large
an amount of these cereals per capita
as it used to. All of these factors have
a pertinent bearing on the situation.
If there were as many horses in the
United States during 1926 as there
were in 1910 or 1911 there would have
been no surplus of oats or corn. We
have actually been trying to sell oats
and corn to someone who couldn't use
it at ruinously low prices in order to
get money to buy tractors, trucks,
gasoline, kerosene, oil and repairs at
extremely high prices.

in the long run than the merry-go-

The horse situation, its relation to
the farming business and the general
bearing on the entire agricultural
situation today was thoroughly cover
ed in Part One and Two. In making
a local application to Redwood Coun-
ty, cognizance must be taken of the
facts given in Part one and two, Gen.
sus figures and cost figures compil-
ed by experiment stations.
There is consolation in some of the
fundamental principles underlying
agriculture. The one great principle
that may be used to best advantage is
probably the farm as production
unit. The more nearly farm can be
organized, operated and maintained to
sustain itself through its own produc-
ton the more nearly that farm is
likely to be on the prosperous side OF
the ledger. There are many points
to this question which will be devel-
oped in the following issues.
Oats and corn are the principle
grain crops that are used for horse
feed. In Redwood County these are

that seek world market.
Pasture, hay, corn fodder and straw
have very poor market value, at
least are not produced to place on
the market as a cash crop. These
roughages are necessary in the pro-
duction and feeding of horses. What
is consumed of these roughages can
be produced at the least cost of any
crop. Cost figures on production of
hay and the value of an acre of good
pasture shows that in actual value an
acre of land will produce more hay
or pasture than of any other crop.
If more of these crops were raised
to the extent that they can be fed to
advantage it would bring greater
farm income and reduce the acreage
by surplus crops.
Cost figures on the amount of feed
it requires about an average of III
bushels of corn, 16 bushels of oats,
10 of ton of tame hay, u ton OF
wild hay, fodder, ETC., 173 days of
pasture, 3 hours of man labor, and z
hours of horse labor to grow a colt
one year or the average of all colts
one to three years old recorded in
this summary in 1920. This would
figure up to about $500 per year
or $500 for three years which would
represent the cost of horse or the
amount of feed that would have to be
placed on the market.
Similar figures on the cost of main
tanning horses show that it requires
about 25 bushels of corn, so bushels

pick them right off the tree and bite
right into their firm and lovely
