A., situation.

There continues to be broadcast
a wealth of information, and in
some cases misinformatiOn, on the
merits of selling hogs at the farm
or country concentration points or
at the central livestock markets. By
the advocates country buying, the
unexpected break of hog prices dur
ing 1927 is attributed to weakening
of export demand, falling off in
consumer demand and various and
sundry other reasons too numerous
to mention. The believers in the
economic soundness of the central
livestock marketing system of our
country claim, of course, that the
unknown quantity represented in
the trade by country hog buying
caused the severe break III the face
of curtaiIed hog supply
Some of the arguments advanced
seem incompatible. For instance, in
a recent article a prominent packer
pointed out the benefits to the pro-
ducer Of having access to the world
markets and how much more pro-
fitable this was than the old situa-
ton when the producer of livestock
was forced to seek for what he
could get for his product in his home
market.
Thi sarticle stated that in ease
there was too much livestock at the
local point, the producer suffered,
but by the same grace, if there were
fewer anicals, he profited. This ar
ticle shows, without the question of
doubt, that having had the world
markets made available to the pro
ducer of livestock has been Of great
benefit to the industry and this,
from an economic standpoint, Ger
tainly is true. Naturally, the broad
er the scope and number Of out
lets which the producer has for his
Imperial Valley press., 1928-06-30

commodities, the stronger position
he is in, as he receives the benefit
of the function of the laws of sup.
ply and demand and is given the
ket for his livestock.
On the heels of this article there
appeared an article by another
packer stating it was immateriai
where hogs were marketed, they are
simply so much pork and the price
level is guaged nationally rather
than locally, reflecting the influence
of the price of other foods, the
weather, industrial conditions, etc
From this theory the hog purchas-
er would be in as strong position to
follow the old time custom of wait
ing for the country buyer to come
to his farm, or ranch, Or to sell in
the country in some manner as he
is to take advantage Of the wide
range of markets which are offered
him under the system OF public live
stock markets, which have logically
developed to meet the needs Of
economical marketing and distr.bu-
ton.
There seems to be sincere de
sire ON the part Of all concerned to
! bring out al 1.-THE facts in connection
with the marketing Of hogs and
there probably is no element in the
industry that would acccde to 4
| change more quickly than the cen,
. trail markets if more practical, ef,
j ficient and economically sound
method Of marketing livestock were
brought forward. However, when
a step appears in the offing which
i does not seem progressive naturally
a great many arguments arise and
from the advancing Of opinions from
different sources much good will
come. 1t would seem TO be the duty

Capitalism is simply a useful machine to be re-
placed when better offers, says Leland Odds. IA
nous economist, writing for the Federated Press
This is not blasphemy from an irresponsible revo-
utiOnist but the assertion of the conservative Wall
Street Journal. 1t is none the less a revolution
airy application to the whole social system of the
ruthless American theory that piece of machin-
cry should be scrapped as soon as better appears
Criticizing the rather hacEneyed socialist phrases
used by the League for Industrial Democracy the
Journal says:
When man says that capitalism is religion
and that all the world save the United States is
profoundly skeptica of this religion his facts are
at least 20 years out of date Hardly anywhere
are men more skeptica of capitalism, or any other
conception of fixed system than here"
The Journal defines skeptical as meaning a cues
toning attitude. 1t holds that a generation ago
capitalism was something like religion but that
a better understanding of human needds has come.
To-day" says the Journal Capitalism is regard
ed in America merely useful machine to be
overhauled redisigned and reconstructed like any
other; even to be replaced when a better instru-
ment appears"
This statement has almost the ring of Jeffer-
sons revolutionary phraseology in the declaration
OF independence. The declaration asserts that the
purpose OF government is to protect the people II,
their lnalenable right to life liberty and the pur
SUIT OF happiness and that whenever any form of
government becomes destructive of these ends
the people have the right to alter or abolish it and
institute new government in form most likely

We are forced to the inevitable conclusion that

FARM ORGANIZATION RANK
AND FILE FARMERS SHOULD
JOIN FARMER-LABOR PARTY
By ]. G. sOltis

Our prediction with regard to the
Capitalist political policy the Farm
ers Union is going to follow, as pub
hshed in these columns, are now as
Stunning tangible form. 1t is doing
precisely what we said it would.
In the December issue of the Off
cial organ of the F. u, the Farmers
Union Herald, the farmers of the
Northwest, the state of North Da-
kota, Minnesota and South Dakota in
particular, informs them to elect dele
gates to the National Republican con-
vention. There is absolutely no doubt
In my mind that in the very next is
sue of the Farmers Union Herald
Kicker will sound the call, as l pre-
dicted, for the farmers to capture
the state republican conventions.
Policy of Union
Here is what the renegade socialist
Mr.. Kicker, wants:
"Our job here in the west where
we are Republicans by habit is to see
to it that farmers are sent as dele
gates to the Republican National Con
vention. And these delegates of our!
should not be merely farmers, but
the type of farmers who belong Il
real farm organizations, and whC
know sheep from a goat, or a vol.
perhaps would be the better name"
The farmers should not be confus
ed as to whose policy this is. II
