Government and the Farmer
Chicago Tribune)

Henry I. Hartman Of Boston, pres
ident of the United States Chamber
OF Commerce, speaking to the annual
convention of the American Farm Bu-
reau federation in Chicago, said that
the growth in taxes has been most
serious to the farming population. He
referred to one state in which 60 per
cent Of the farm land has been for
feited.
Miss Kathryn OLaughlin, newly
elected congresswoman from Kansas,
In Chicago at the same time, said
that $500 Kansas farms have been
sold for taxes during the last six
years. The effect Of taxation on farm
lands has been one Of the outstand-
ing calamities In the rural hard
times. but 4 general description Of
the ruin as one Of taxation requires
specifications. A blind attack upon
taxes will do the farmer little good,
and possibly more harm than good.
The attack must be brought directly
home to the responsible origins.
Most Of farmers taxes are within
the immediate region Of his home.
Federal income taxes are out Of the
picture. The farmer is not contrib
uting directly to the extravagances Of
bureaucracy. He no doubt is suffer-
ing from effects they have upon ur-
ban taxpayers, but they arc not taken
from his pocketbook directly. In fact,

We Admire His Spirit

In its two last editions The Trih-
une has printed letters from j. D.
Hanks. We do not agree with all he
says but then he probably doesn't
expect us to.
We do admire the spirit and clar-
ity with which he reviews the situa-
ton and We do agree with the de-
claration In his first letter that one
of the first duties of the incoming
elective officials is to inform the peo-
pie, after a hard audit, what the
fiscal situation is. We agree with
him on numerous other points also.
His suggestion that all taxing dis
tricts be prohibited from issuing
bonds may have real merit. Some
other states have such a prohibition
and they are not crying on the door,
step of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation for help either, as some
states are doing and as this state may
yet do.
AS to Mr.. Hanks wheat plan, we
feel that state action to raise the
price Of a product such as wheat is
impractical. We cannot raise the
price Of this grain as long as the
farmers in Kansas, South Dakota,
Montana and other wheat-growing
states do not cooperate with us.
Prohibition or strict regulation of the
marketing of North Dakota wheat
would merely improve the market for
our competitors in other states.
Most farm leaders agree that ma
tional action rather than state ac-
ton is necessary to the relief of agri-
culture. Whatever system or rules
are laid down must be applied to all
alike.
Mr.. Hanks suggestion looks, in it's
'h'" very much like the allot-
ment plan which now has been in
dorsed by the American Farm Bu-
reau Federation. Applied on a ma
tional scale it seems the one method
of stopping the surplus at it's source.
If 1t can be administered without
cluttering up the landscape with
host of federal employees it should be
tried. The idea is sound.
We disagree with the emphasis laid
on wheat. The income from the lit
tie red hen will mean almost as
much to North Dakotans this year
as that from their wheat fields. We
do not face a one-crop problem be-
cause We have abandoned one-crop
farming.
The need for a jolt is apparent.
When it comes we will know that
we have reached the bottom of the
toboggan slide and can then start
that uphill journey which Mr.. Hanks
wishes to begin. And who doesn't?
