No Rest for the Farm Board
New York TimeS)


For the Federal Farm Board life is
one long series of complications. AS
if it did not have sufficient troubles
of its own, Congress threatens to add
to its misfOrtunes. A resolution
adopted by the House, and approved
by the Senate in somewhat different
form, authorizes the free distribution
OF 100000 bushels of government
owned wheat for relief of distress, but
makes no provision for repayment.
This would compel the board to ac-
cept loss Of about $50, 000, 900, since
it purchased its grain at prices ap-
proximately 40 per cent above the
present level, and Chairman Stone
vigorously complains that it is unfair
to take the wheat away without pay
ing for it,"
Meantime, new difficulty has ap-
peared in still another quarter.
Moved by a desire to reduce expendi-
lures, and thereby to help balance the
Federal budget, committees of con-
gress have been pruning the various
appropriation bills submitted by the
administration. They have cut deep
ly into the funds allotted to the
Farm Board. In the House a reduc-
ton from 81 5000 to 100000 has
been made in the boards appropria-
ton for administrative purposes, and
in the Senate bill has been report
ed favorably. marking down the SAL
aries of members Of the board from
$4,000 to $500. Commenting on the
latter proposal, Mr.. Stone objects
that to single out the Farm Board
for special action while leaving SAL
aries in other bureaus undisturbed
would give the impression that Con-
gress did not think highly Of It's rec
ord. This would seem . fair deduc-
ton.
What Is proposed by the action Of
the two committees is In reality q
half hearted decision, first to dis
sipate the large stock Of surplus
wheat which the Farm Board holds
Cat q cost to the public Of more than
100000 q month for storage and
carrying charges), and, second, to
liquidate the board itself. Both pslr4
poses are desirable: but instead Of
taxing indirect ana unfair methods
to achieve them, it would be better
to proceed straight to the objective
The board has outlived its usefulness

The Trend Toward Socialism

The Trend Toward Socialism
Proposal has been made in congress
to put tax of a penny a shell on
ammunition for shotguns and provid-
ing that the revenue be used in enforc-
ing the federal game laws and propa-
eating additional birds and animals
for the hunter to shoot. In effect it
is proposal whereby those interested
in field sports will make one hand
wash the other, but it also serves as
illustration of the manner in which
America has been drifting toward So
cialisna.
Every time the people place addi-
tional powers and functions in the
hands of the government, they take
step toward state control. The ques-
tons Of whether such steps are advis-
able or necessary are not at issue
here. Nevertheless, the fact remains
that to increase the duties and re-
sponsibilities of the government is to
effect state control in greater and
greater degree. And state control is
what socialism means, no matter what
arguments may be made for it or
against it. If We ever reach the time
when the government controls, di-
rectly or indirectly, every activity of
the people, we shall have socialistic
rule Of our country, no matter what
name may be applied to the process.
A tax of a penny a shell may lead
to socialized shooting grounds. This
might be good thing and of benefit
to the sportsman, but he might as
we'll recognize the proposed system for
what it is.
We gain nothing by giving things
pretty names and ignoring them for
what they actually are. Neither can
We escape the fact that the country
has taken rapid strides toward a GER
tain kind of socialism during the last
decade under auspices which have
been declared to be conservative.

orally will cuss and discuss 1t within
the next few weeks.
The basic feature Of the bill is the
general tax Of 21s per cent on the
sales price of all manufactured arti-
cles, with but few exemptions. This
tax is fashioned somewhat after the
Canadian system and has been urged
most vigorously by the Hearst papers,
who are grooming Speaker Garner
for the Democratic presidential NOM
nation.
This sales tax will be administered
az in Canada by a licensing system
which will apply to all manufacture
ers doing a business of more than
$4,000 annually.
1t is not denied anywhere but that
this tax affecting most articles of
merchandise-will be passed on to
the ultimate consumer. That 1t will
increase the cost Of living to some
extent is not denied. The sad news
which is carried to all is that the
government must tap the reservoirs
which can bring in immediate
revenue to pay pressing obligations.
Incomes of the wealthy, too, are
to feel the increase In taxes.
Within certain limits surtaxes will
be doubled.
There will be restoration Of the
so-called nuisance taxes. gift and
estate taxes, fees for stock transfers,
taxes on gasoline and oils, excise
taxes on malt and grape concentra-
tes, hitting at the cellar bootleggers,
and SO on ad infinitum.
Probably the measure is as fair
one as can be devised. It comes from
a house dominated by the Democra-
tic party and is not exactly what the
treasury department wants, but 1t is
the best tax bill that can be written
in the present political crisis. This
bill is to have the hearty support of
the treasury department.

The New Revenue Bill

It is not humanity possible to de-
wise any tax bill which will please
everyone, but it must be self-evi-
dent to thinking men that at all costs
the national budget must be bal
anced and that the revenue to do
this must come from federal taxa
ton.
II this is not done business con-
ditionS will become worse rather than
better. It is part Of the general
scheme Of economic reconstruction
that the federal budget be balanced
and that the strictest economy be
practiced In appropriations.
The revenue measure now under
discussion in congress designs to raise
81 ,0o6, 100000 additional during the
fiscal year which begins next July
while this falls short Of balancing
the budget it is hoped that by re-
trerchments and certain policies Of
reEiaancing on the part Of the gov
esnraent the budget will. for oil prac-
tical purposes. b balanced.

NEW YORK BOSTOl
A New Postmaster


Bismarck soon is to have the pleas
ure OF greeting a new postmaster and
few appointments will win such uni
versal reclamation In this city as the
designation of Walter Sather for the
post.
That the old order changeth was
never more aptly illustrated in polit-
ical things than by the appointment
of Sather to a position which many
sought but for which only one could
be chosen.
Less than 40 years Of age. never
overly active in politics although an
interested supporter Of his particu-
lar group, it was something of a sur
prise when the Burleigh county Gen.
trail committee recommended Sather
for the position over applicants who
had, perhaps, more claim to political
recognition.
The law requires the postmaster to
refrain from participation In politics,
even though the statute Is more often
honored In the breach than in the
observance. Nevertheless, it is a
recognized fact that postmasterships,
generally, are awarded on the basis
Of political service and as political
recognition.
Perhaps it was combination Of
the man and the times which enabled
Sather to win this plum. He repre-
sents the new and rising generation
which is beginning to clamor for rec
ignition, if not for power. He is rep
resentative Of the ability, now
approaching its prime, which is begin
ming to supply good deal of the
leadership for American business and
industry. Now, more than ever be-
fore, it is young mans world, or at
least world with plenty of oppor-
tunity for young men with ability and
ideas. This can be illustrated in the
appointment Of postmasters as we'll
es In private affairs.
Among a wide circle the appoint
ment was hailed with real pleasure,
for Bismarck has few men with more
of real friendliness in their makeup
than the new postmaster.
AS q commander of the local post
of the American Legion and as ex-
allied ruler Of the local lodge of Elks,
6ather has demonstrated executive
ability and-even more than that
has proved his ability to work with
others and to get others to work with
him.
This latter trait is a valuable asset
In public life. It gives one cause to
look forward to Bismarck's postal
administration during the next four
years with real confidence.
