FOREIGN WHEAT
MARTS TARGET
OF FARM BOARD
Federal Heads Switch At
tention to Exports
for Year.
Bv United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE fed
eral farm board, committed to a
new policy Of restricting domestic
sales of government wheat, turned
today to foreign markets with con-
fldence that additional outlets for
its surplus stock would be found.
The board is studying the world
situation in much the same way
that a private business concern
would seek new markets If its usual
channels Of trade were cut off.
THE world market for wheat
shows improved prospects for the
next year." the board said when it
announced restriction of domestic
sales.
July, August and September are
the best months of the year for
wheat exports. Most of the 35,000,-
600 bushels of sterilization wheat
stored at export points has been
sold. More wheat will be gathered
at the ports as demand warrants.
For the present the sterilization
corporation is not making any sales
on the domestic market. This is
because of the present range of
prices. But the board has an
nounced that this is only temporary
and that it hopes to dispose of co.
100000 bushels in the United States
before July /, 1882. Requirements
Of millers furnish the principal do
nestle outlets.

WAGE CUTTING
CHECKED, D0AK
REPORT SHOWS
Debt Holiday Optimism
Hats Movement in
u. S. for Present.

By Scripps-H otCard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, July 2.-The OPP
tirnism engendered by the proposed
international debt moratorium
temporarily has halted the wage
cutting movement among American
manufacturers. according to Labor
Secretary William Doak.
The report for the week ending
June q showed eighty-one labor
disputes, y-eight strikes of
minor Importance, and only three
disputes over wage cuts. Miners
were signing up new agreements in
western Pennsylvania and West
Virginia. Employment was static
and wholesale prices we're on the
decline with the 1925 dollar now
able to purchase $1.048 worth of
wholesale goods.
The month ending May IS had
shown disturbing trends in the re-
duction Of wages. In that month
293 establishments in forty-six in
dustries reported wage decreases.
The decreases averaged 10.4 per
cent, affected 43,377 workers, or '73

per cent of all employees of the
factories reporting.
The increases were small and
few, averaging 3 per cent and af-
fecting TAB persons. Only seven
establishments in six industries re-
ported increased wages. This trend,
Doak believes, has been halted.
What information We have in
clines me to the belief that the
wage cutting campaign among GER
tain employers has been checked in
the past ten days. said Doak. Il
would like to believe that this check
we're permanent. AS we come more
and more to depend upon the home
market it is nothing short Of insane
to destroy this markets buying
power by the wholesale slashing of
wages
"I sincerely trust that the wiser
men among the big employers of
labor in the United States will pre-
vail and that wage cutting does not
become a general policy"

cause the police have TO reach the

The story concerns the daughter

He realizes the foolhardiness Of
his free theories when he finds his

PARIS, July 2.-Panic was spread

today when a thirty four pound
artillery shell exploded in the
italian labor bureau. Ten persons
were injured, four of them badly.
There was no indication how the
shell was placed in the Office, as
police began an investigation. The
possibility that it was part of an
anti-Fascist plot was considered.

taxpayers themselves, aided and pur-
suaded by professional educators and
other t~ax-spenders.
This overwhelming burden is un-
justly and wholly loaded onto the
taxpayer the one who owns a farm,
a home, Or some property-he can't
get away with it. 1t is a crude, out
of-date system. In the absense of a
replacement tax or other help at the
present time we will be forced to cut
down expenses very materially with
out in the least lowering Of the high
educational standards.
In the amount of teachers salary
last year we spent s170,0s2.12. Over
half of the school money went to pay
that alone, and its been increasing
from 100000 to 100000 every
year. There surely must be room for
reductions in this. In view of the
surplus of teachers and the ever in
creasing number of graduates, as
well as lower living costs, a very
substantial cut could be made. In
North Dakota recently it has been
noticed that salaries have been cut

SIS to 1876 per month-and they were

SIS to S35 per month-and they were
lower than Montana before.
We notice several new school build
ing bonding propositions Of late build
ing expansion in the face of a disas-
trous depression. The taxpayers of
these district will wonder when they
get their tax notices, whats this old
world coming to anyway" They will
be cussing the county officials, the
Taxpayers Association, and every
thing, for raising their taxes in these
hard times instead Of reducing them
Then add to that delinquent taxes
somebody will have to pay for
those that don't. Perhaps the school
will have to close or at least shorten
their terms.
With land valuations reduced this
year ten per cent in the first and
second zones, and other adjustments
there will not be enough valuation
on which to levy. This must force
reductions.
Many of our smaller schools could
very profitably for the pupils and
taxpayers, be consolidated Or district
enlarged. 1t seems very unbusiness-
like to maintain small schools Of three
or four pupils or even six. Taxpayers
in such districts would be well paid
for their efforts and cooperation in
joining with a nearby district
On the second Monday in June the
school trustees of the various dist
riots must meet, prepare and adopt
their preliminary Budgets, and here
is one place where the x can be
used effectively for tax reduction,
Under the new law the Final Bud
gets must be kept within bounds,
thereby exercising a better control OF
school funds. Taxpayers will find
this a good thing and should make
use of it, cooperate with neighbors
and affect a reduction in expenses,
1t will be easier to get a two or five
mill reduction in taxes here than in
county or state taxes and it will
have direct effect on the home tax
payer who makes this effort. Here
in the matter of the schools is where
the individual taxpayer can exert his
influence to the best advantage. This
is of mutual interest and benefit.

TAX TALK

The biggest item in our high tax
es is our schools. Last fiscal year
u schools cost us 1927 1853, 58, near
ly five times the cost of our roads
and six times the cost of our County
officials. The total cost per child fig
ures up to be $l14.15.
The total amount levied last fiscal
year for all purposes amounted tc
S492,257.39. The cost of our schools
less the State apportionment, it will
be seen, is about two-thirds of this
amount.
Consider this again, two-thirds OF
u tax dollar goes for schools. This
is something to take notice Of and
ponder over.
Thee ontrol of this huge expendi.
ture is not in the hands of our coun-
ty officials, who. usually get the
blame for high taxes. 1t is spent un.
