Of land has fallen, and farm in
comes have increased only moder-
ately.
Not only that, but in many cases
the assessments Of property. as be-
tween town lots and farms, are
shown to be unequal, as proved by
actual sale prices Of real estate.
What more natural, then, that
farmers should more and more be
convinced that the whole taxation
basis is wrong and that net in
come, and not property holding, is
the true basis for equal taxation?
What Will come Of it, 1 do not
know. But it seems to me very
likely that the middle of this cen
fury will see our tax system, as
applied to agriculture, on a radi-
cally different basis.

BY ARTHUR III. JENKINS
Editor The Farm Journal

One Of the things I rather ex-
pect to see shortly, is an increas-
ingly vigorous demand by farmers
in many areas for a change in tax
alton methods.
This subject Of taxes is one Of
the Oldest of all human concerns,
and it seems as if in five thousand
years of history the race should
have gotten it arranged to the rea-
sonable satisfaction Of everybody.
But that is far from the case, alas!
We still believe, with few excep-
tons, that we are bearing much too
heavy a tax burden, and that some
other individual or class is getting
by with only half the taxes he or
they should be made to pay. That
feeling is as old as ancient Sum-
eria. And the only progress we
have made is that through the

be made abundantly clear that they

Otherwise the departmental SUI

ALA Fled
growth of democratic institutions
we are having rather better luck
than formerly, in tossing the tax
burden around from one class 70
another and back again.
When the king reigned in Asshur
Of Mesopotamia, the tax burden
was placed firmly on the backs of
the poor and helpless, and stayed
there!
The trouble on the farms seems
to be, on analysis, that we are try
ing to follow out some new ideas,
by methods that are very old and
perhaps out of date.
1t is not necessary to go into the
question Of living standards of 1929,
for everyone knows that farmers
as a class rightly maintain that
they are entitled to as good living
conditions, as large a share Of COM
forts and ~luXuries, as anyone else.
Among these, perhaps the most
expensive are good education for
our youth, and good roads. And
such is our frame Of mind, that we
are to be satisfied with nothing less
than the best Of each. The best
schools, the best teachers, a mar
velous range of instruction, bus
transportation, and such magnifi-
cent roads of solid concrete as the
xryar1I hos nnrya,- Irooy,enI nf
There is nothing improper about
this. But unfortunately these
splendid new ideals of ours rest on
an old and totally inadequate sys-
tenn of taxes on fixed property.
1t is only natural, of course, that
farm property should be taxed.

the old principle. possession of

But, like a good many other SIM

THE STOCK MARKET
York Herald Tribune)

The f~avorite subject Of controversy in financial
circles for the last three weeks has concerned itself
with the Federal Reserve Board, having warned mem
Der banks of the system against permitting too much
credit to flow into the security markets. is in a posi-
tion to back up that warning with effective action.
II may be said that the best financial minds are in
agreement that the board and the regional banks
have the requisite power, II they choose to use It.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1929-03-10

Nevertheless, there has been, and still Is, an articu-
late. though perhaps not disinterested, minority which
insists that the reserve banks have lost control of the
situation. The routing of loans directly to brokers,
instead of indirectly through the banks, a phenome-
non that has become increasingly important In recent
months, has, they assert, seriously undermined the
position of the banks.
There is no denying the fact that bootleg" loan
has complicated matters for the Reserve authorities.
but we have a feeling that if this were the major
problem facing them in carrying out their suggested
program of stock market liquidation the big
Squeeze" would now be well under way. To our mind
the major ~problem-the one that has caused such
trumpet blasts" as that sounded early this month
by the banking authorities to go almost unheeded-
has been the spirit behind the present market for Sc
c~urities. That spirit is founded on something more
! than speculative mania. 1t is founded on the fact
that the country is enjoying unprecedented prosperi-
ty and that the outlook is promising for a continu-
ance Of such prosperity for at least another four
years. 1t is extremely difficult for the security buy
ing public to become greatly alarmed on reading the
news that brokers' loans have increased 100000 or
that call money has temporarily touched 10 per cent
when it finds on the same financial page the an
nouncement that the steel industry Is running at be-
tween 90 and IS per cent capacity and that railroad
earnings are currently exceeding those OF a year ago
by more than 40 per cent.
The Reserve banks chief difficulty. so far as the
Encouragement of the present market is concerned, is
that the latter has its roots deep in the countrys in
dustrial prosperity. Its spontaneous response to the
news Of the election of Mr.. Hoover four months ago
was impressive evidence on this point; its equally
impulsive pre-inauguration outburst last week, in the
face of Reserve Bank warnings and high money rates,
re-emphasize this phase of its nature.

however, of a military character. Soldiers have been
"outcasts" in China, but now they are coming into

are entirely rectified.
The principles of the Nationalist government will
live on. The present regime may fall and be replaced
by others. China may even have a dictatorship for a
period. But the ideal of representative government
is firmly implanted there.
You must remember things in China move slowly.
The Chinese think in terms Of centuries while we
measure political time by administration. One rev.

If the Chinese achieve peaceful representative gov
