our economic Or
CARNATIONS are all fighting for a
greater share than the average rate of
production. This results in extortionate
profits to some and in bankruptcy to
many more. 1t is q state of economic
anarchy.
This condition has been produced by
transportation laws, banking laws, tariff
laws, patent laws and corporation laws.
This scramble for more than a Just
share has turned all American business
into gamblers pot. A permanent and
stabilized prosperity only can be OBJ
tanned by the correction of these laws.
At present % per cent in number of
American enterprises ultimately fail.
The transportation act gave the rail-
roads value of nearly $4,000 900 900,
when their market value was less than
IL, and then commanded the COM
mission to give them a return which
was placed first at 6 per cent and now
534 upon all that value, water and all,
which means more than 8 per cent
upon their honest value, as, for in
stance, the farms are valued.
In addition, they were given a direct
subsidy out of the Treasury of the
United States of $529, 900 900 to guar
antee their wartime profits for the first
six months after they were turned back
in 1920.
This was the same six months in
which the Federal Reserve banking sys-
tenn planned a deflation of agriculture,
which the Manufacturers Record says
amounted to $32, 900, 900 900.
The railroad problem will not be cor
rected until the United States has con-
solidated them upon substantially the
same plan as has been done with the
Canadian railroads.
The State and national banking laws.
combined with the Federal Reserve act,
are driving all of the redeposit business
OF the country into New York for spec
ulation, except the mere reserves which
must be deposited in the Federal Re-
serve banks. The Federal Reserve bank
Is prohibited from rediscounting specu-
lative paper, but member banks are
permitted to make speculative loans.
This, together with the defiataon
power of the Federal Reserve system
by raising and lowering discount rates,
is perhaps the greatest evil in our
country and has done more to make
a gamble out of business than any
other one item. It can only be corrected
by prohibiting the entire banking sys-
tenn from making speculative loans in
the same terms that the great Reserve
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-11-10

banks are now prohibited from redis-
counting them.
In addition to this, a redeposit rate
should be hxed by law and ell rede-
posits Of member banks sent 70 the
Reserve banks. A rediscount rate should
also be fixed by law and the power
taken from the board to gamble in
raising and lowering interest rates.
Finally, usury rate should be fixed
which would put the interest rate down
to farmers and little business on the
same level as TO big business.
In addition TO all this. the great body
OF American people who believe in
cooperation, particularly the farmers
and the laboring people, and now the
independent retail merchants, should
have q complete cooperative banking
system with deposit banks. reserve
banks and all under their own control
The tariff laws enable the protected
industries to Ak the prices of their
products at the factory without foreign
competition up TO the top of the tariff
level. The patent laws enable them
to NIX such prices without any COM
petition
The farmer has a surplus of about
10 per cent, but he is not financed and
cannot separate and segregate 1t from
the domestic market. II the farmer
holds his crop for future market he is
finally forced to sell it in the domestic
market. This floods the domestic mar
ket, breaks down his tariff rates and
makes them mere scraps of paper. The
surplus flows over into the free trade
markets of the world. It is sold in
competition with all the world, its
price Is fixed by that sale, this price
is cabled back to the Board of Trade
or the Cotton Exchange in q few min
utes and his whole price at home is
fixed the same as the price of his sur
plus in this foreign free trade market,
less the freight and expense Of reaching
the foreign market.
1t, therefore, forces the farmer to
buy his needs in the high level of the
protected and patented markets of the
United States, while the price of his
own product is fixed for him by the
sale of his surplus in the free trade
market Of the world.
In view OF this, the Farm Board
must be given a debenture or a direct
appropriation of the Treasury to sepa-
rate and segregate the farmers ex-
portable surplus from the domestic
demand so he can charge q price up
to the top of the tariff level also, as
is done by other business, and sell his
surplus for the best world price.
Since the law gave the railroads a
bonus of $1,000, 000, 900 in watered value
and the Treasury 10000, 900 in cash,
it owes the farmers enough to handle
this exportable surplus in this same
way, as was done by Mr.. Hoover in
the Food Administration and the Wheat
Corporation. The farmer was put in
this condition by legislation, and legis-
lation only can take him out

Black Of New York to sponsor Bill
to Aid Farmers and
Unemployed.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, November I0.--Repre-
sentative Loring M. Black, Democrat.
New York. said yesterday modification
measure designed to provide emergency
relief for agriculture and unemployment
would be introduced In Congress at it,
converting in December.
Representative Black said the bill
would be designed to permit cooper
alive grain associations and similar or
CARNATIONS to engage in brewing and
winemaking under the supervision Of
the Department of Agriculture.
Prohibition" he said, itself Is the
child Of an emergency measure. The
Lever act, adopted by Congress early In
the war, directed Mr.. Hoover. then head
of the food administration, to stop
brewing and distilling as a method Of
conserving grain.
There is no need for conservation
now. Instead, consumption Is the sore
problem of today"
He said the proposed measure would
result in utilization Of millions of
bushels of small grains. would reduce
wheat acreage by encouraging diversifi-
casion of grain crops and would bring
into the Treasury millions In tax
monies.
