all these manufactured or processed

all these manufactured or processed
foods, the manufacturer does all the
talking and by reiteration gets you on
his list Of daily customers. The great
big middle class of people all think
out these things. each for himself, but
he does not advertise. If this great
class could arrange a collective body,
and bally hoo how to avoid this high
cost of living. as the manufacturer
does each day on the radio and
through papers, you would find that
it would not be such clear sailing for
our eastern friends, who get our raw
material for nothing and then ship it
back and sell it to us in small pack
ages with the profits entirely on their
side.
In the present scheme OF things the
producer, either farmer, rancher,
fruit grower or tobacco grower. seems
to be at the mercy of the middle men
and professors, and it has been that
way for many years, so much so that
legislation favored cooperative ven-
lures. The present farm board is sup
posed to encourage co-operatives, and
while it has been of questionable
value, the uphill work to bring into
being a new order of marketing for
farmers is the reason that our con-
gresham are reluctant to discontinue
the same. but any governmental ar
rangement never can make much If
any Roadway. II progress is to be
made, 1t must be from the affiliating
Of all producers in bodies that are Of
their own management.
Unless producers can get a relative
value for their produce depressions
will be frequent If not persistent.

TOO MUCH ADVERTISING?
Dickinson, N. D.,
May IA, 1882.
Editor Trihllne.

Editor, Tribune:
In a recent issue, an article in
quires about an exchange Of wheat OH
the basis Of dollar bushel on pur-
chases and perhaps in payment OF
bill or debt.
The price of wheat formerly was
used as q basis of figuring, and mer-
chandise and machinery reacted up
and down according to wheat, but
since the war such has not been the
case. The mercantile and industrial
businesses at the time of the war
seemed to have arrived at an agree
ment or understanding, so that prices
were uniform. The manufacturer
worked on the cost plus the labor in
volved, and established the price, and
then the retailer watched the market
and at every change upward tackled
on a little more. until prices reached
a peak entirely out Of line with agri-
cultural prices.
Wheat has been forgotten entirely
in the scheme Of things and supply
and demand cut no more ice than
last years robin.
Take bread for instance. The price
per loaf has been right along twice
what it should be on 75c wheat,
whereas the farmer has gotten only
45c to 55c for this last years crop.
One wonders II there is any wheat IN
the bakers bread, and If they got the
wheat for nothing, they would still
charge the same old price. There is
one instance in which wheat is dead
letter. In the report Of financial con-
ditions by statistical institutions you
will see bakeries as having the great
est gain perhaps of all the industries,
I think about IA per cent profit.
Then take tobacco. Before the war
q certain package with prominent
brand sold for 10c, and during the war
the package was reduced about 4 or
approximately that and the price went
up as high as 18c, but generally 15c
at which price it still sells. but to-
bacco has brought the producer al
most nothing during the major part
Of this period.
Patented articles, breakfast foods,
and all highly advertised products are
as high practically all the time.
What our country needs is to go
back to fundamentals. Buy your flour
and make a loaf Of bread that is
bread. Stop living out Of tin cans and
put up some home made foods. Our
wheat skips out Of the country for a
song. and we pay 15c per package for
some devitalized breakfast food that
wouldn't fatten a chicken when We
could utilize the protein values in a
bushel Of wheat that is worth only
SOC and gain more muscle and brain
propeller than is contained In $40
worth Of advertised breakfast filters. a"
Why are we such lump heads? Just
because we want things easy and in
stead Of these package tobaccos. we
could get a bushel for the price Of
three and smoke for year.
The cost Of living Is due to a large
extent to our being victims Of constant
advertising and not using our heads.
They say 1t pays to advertise. OF
course it does, but you will notice on

Managua Police
Reveal Good Record
La Noticia, Managua.-During the
month Of February 374 persons were ar
rested and confined in the municipal
jail. OF these 1923 were either released
on payment of fine or because their
offenses did not justify a longer in
generation. The remainder were sent
to the national penitentiary at Leon
pending disposition Of their cases.
Curiously enough, not single culprit
escaped from the hands of the police
in the month of February after once
being taken into custody.
In the department of traffic there
were registered 215 automobiles. 81
trucks, 10 motor cycles, 121 carriages,
$50 wagons and 286 bicycles.

One Budget Balanced.

From the Oklahoma City Daily Oklahoman.
Two accomplishments of the Missis-
sippi Legislature, which has adjourned
q protracted session, will attract the
attention OF the country. 1t balanced
the budget Of State which has been
perilously close to bankruptcy and it
enacted the first general sales tax law
ever enacted by an American State.
In order to balance the budget the
Mississippi lawmakers did what the
Congress thus far has refused to do.
1t trimmed appropriations in drastic
manner The total Of its appropria-
tons was some 40 per cent less than
the appropriations made by the preced-
ing Legislature State departments and
State institutions were given less money
than formerly, despite the insistence of
highly organized and powerful Hobbies.
And with the revenues expected from
the sales tax the State hopes to proceed
on a cash basis.
The sales tax law was bitterly opposed
by the mercantile class and by large
numbers Of the rural people. It could
not have. been enacted at all II the
financial plight of the State had not
been so desperate. The gross extrava-
gance of the preceding administration
and drought and depression had brought
the State to the verge Of ruin. Tens Of
thousands Of farms have been sold for
taxes. There was treasury deficit of
sl2,000000. 1t was simply impossible
for the State to raise sufficient revenue
BY ad valorem taxation. Hence as
last desperate resort general sales tax
ms levied.

gestive recommendation regarding the
great port. He seems TO advocate, in
guarded language, the internationaliza-
ton Of Shanghai. IF that CITY," Viscount
saito says, could be freed from the
menace Of such sporadic disturbances Of
various kinds as have occurred time
and again in the past, it would prove q
boon. not only to its residents, Chinese
and foreign, but also to China and all
the powers interested in China" The
premier expresses hope that the round
table conference desired by the Japa-
nse government and generally approved
by the League Of Nations and China
may take the steps leading to . per-
manently pacified Shanghai.
Perhaps the most Measuring feature
Of Viscount Saitos review is his AMIR
nation Of friendly relations between
Japan and Soviet Russia. That the
two Eastern powers are on the verge
Of war the premier categorically denies.
He would welcome a discrimination
Of Russian military mobilization in
Siberia, but pays tribute to the cor
rectness Of Moscows policy toward
Manchuria and all other questions
touching Russo-Japanese questions. On
its own part, Japan has taken scrupu-
lous care not to infringe upon or in
jure the rights and interests of the
Soviet Union
That Japan foresees a period of strain
and stress before its aspirations in Man
churia can be realized Is revealed by
Viscount Saito's closing words in the
Diet. The future Of our foreign rela-
TONS" he declared. lis beset with grave
difficulties. National unity and solidarity
are needed now more than ever before"
That sounds like the new military-con-
trolled governments appeal to the
liberal and business elements of Japan
not to modest the Saito-Arak regime in
the pursuance Of its ends in Asia-ends
which Japanese Of the Shidehara- Nit
sui type do not hold to be in the best
interests of their country and Its rela-
TORS with the outside world.

Voices on Light Beams.

From the CHATTANOOGA Times.
Mans desire to project his thoughts
through space has led from wonder to
wonder. Came the telegraph, then the
telephone. then the wireless, then the
radio. Now has come another marvel,
transmission of the human voice over
light beam.
The feat was recently accomplished
at Schenectady, when a voice was car
ried from the dirigible Los Angeles to
the ground on beam of light. In the
test the Navy demonstrated secret"
method of communication from the air
that is expected to be of great i'm
portance in time of war. The enemy
cannot listen in" on light-beam mes
sages. engineers say. although the light
beam will be visible to him when used
at night.
What with the developing of tele-
vision, the cracking of the atom and
the devising of means for transmitting
the voice on beams of light, it would
seem that science and invention, at
least. are not suffering from the de-
preston.

Japars Foreign Policy.

Viscount Saito, new premier and for
eign minister Of Japan, made his debut
in the Diet at Toxic Friday and dis
cussed with engaging frankness the
island empires policies in the Far East
and the world at large. Public interest
at home and abroad naturally centers
in the Japanese program in China, as
1t is left by the induction into Office Of
government committed to the militarist
ideal Of a strong hand in Manchuria.
Viscount Saito leaves no doubt Of
Japan's intention to support and bull
wark the new state" Of Manchoukuo.
He makes a yelled but definite allusion
to the Hoover doctrine" Of non-recog-
milton of territory acquired in violation
of international treaties. Il am well
aware" says Viscount Saito, of the
great interest naturally manifested by
our people in the future Of Manchou-
kuo, and I believe it is no longer pos
sible to ignore the existence of that
state in any international readjustments
/ WIllCll may lIl0uC W1eAA fSACA SAASS w

Their evidence of Japan's determination
to maintain "the new state" Premier
Saito observes: Il believe 1t is of the
utmost importance for the tranquility
of the Far East, as well as for the
restoration of peace and prosperity in
China, that the new state should attain
healthy growth"
As yet, no foreign government has
ventured to recognize the independence
of Manchoukuo. The Hoover doc
trine," later adopted by the League Of
Nations, stands as the worlds only ex-
pressed attitude toward Mr.. Pu-Y's
realm. Possibly no additional defini-
ton Of the outside powers intentions
Is planned until the neutral commits
sion now In Manchuria has completed
its survey. Even should It report ad-

plain from viscount saito's statement
that Nippon would not consent to the
