Above all else, we do not want to
see the government engage in the
wholesale buying of land-if it means
that said land, once taken over, will
pay no taxes. That would mean a
calamity that we must avoid under
any circumstances. It would only
mean confiscation of all lands sooner
or later. Senator Frazier's bill is all
right, SO far as it goes, but, it DOESN'T
go far enough.

MUST SCALE DOWN FARM DEBTS
Editor, Tribune:


It was with considerable interest
the writer read the article In recent
issue OF The Tribune, written by VIII
liam Lemke regarding Senator Fra
tiers bill for farm relief. This bill,
If enacted into law would permit the
farmer to borrow money directly from
the government at 3 per cent interest
covering both principal and interest
on the amortization plan.
On the face Of it, the bill would ap-
pear to be godsend to the farmers
in danger Of losing their homes by
foreclosure. and also those intending
to make farming their future work.
But, we must not forget to look a
"gift horse" in the mouth. And, do
ing so, what do we find?
Were any such bill enacted, under
present conditions, 1t would mean viz
tually that the government would be-
come the direct owner Of millions Of
acres of land. Farm land, like other
industries IS and has been largely
over-capitalized. In countless in
stances the indebtedness is by far
greater than the present value Of the
properties involved.
Before we can even hope for relief,
farm mortgages must be reduced, that
is, scaled down to meet the farmers
actual ability to pay. Land that will
not pay fair return on capital In
vestment and yield q decent living IS
dear at any price.
Not long ago one Of our well known
bankers made q speech during which
he sponsored q "back to the farm
movement" He spoke Of the give
away" price Of land. How many Of
our present farmers bought their land
at give away prices?
Land values which prevailed dec
ade ago are no measuring stick TOR
land vaules today. We have been
compelled to scale down the debts Of
our former allies and there are those
who do not fear to state even these
debts will never be paid.
How much more necessary Is 1t
that we come to some understanding
with the American farmer, who sac
rificed all he possessed In freedoms
cause. He has neither asked for nor
received any adjusted coimpensa-
ton" although the government
profited hugely at his expense during
the war.
Certainly Il would be foolhardy Il
not actually wicked to have the gov
eminent loans any considerable sum
on farm lands under former inflated
values, just in order to protect the
mortgage holder, who, in many in
stances, has already received more

So stringent are bar examinations

FARM COOPERATIVES AND
COMMODITY PRICES

The farm cooperative move
ment is not an attempt to make
the consumer pay excessive
prices for agricultural pro-
ducts.
For many years the farmer
has been holding the short end
OF the stick. He has been
bearing almost the entire bur-
den of hard times. Most mid
dlemen are making as much or
more profit than ever. Only
by cooperation can the farmer
gain the bargaining power that
will enable him to talk to the
distributor on equal terms, and
thus obtain for himself a fair
percentage of the final. selling
price OF what he produces.
II the cooperative movement
succeeds, farming areas will
prosper, and when they pros
per all industries prosper with
them. No intelligent citizen
can help but wish the move
ment all possible good fortune

PROHIBITION PROFITABLE

A dollar spent for whiskey
in a New York saloon meant a
cent and a half for the farmer.
A dollar spent on 2.75% beer
would net the farmer even less.
There is no magic by which
the same income can be made
to buy twice. The money that
buys whiskey cannot buy milk,
and the farmer gets more mon
ely when the city man buys da-
Try products, milk, cream, soda
water, butter or cheese.
Economists in ex-governor
Smiths own State, notably at
the College of the City of New
York, have demonstrated the
restoration of beer would offer
no net gain in employment be-
cause when beer comes in. soft
drinks go out with a great
number of employees.
This disposes of all of Gov
ernor Smiths criticism except
as to the hundreds of millions
of dollars" spent in enforcing
the prohibition law. Total
cost of enforcement 1920 to
1881 was $283,156,524; collec-
tons from fines and penalties,
and revenues from collections
from fines and penalties, and
revenues from taxes on lawful
and distilled and fermented
liquors $548,588,884. The net
balance in favor of the govern
ment of $264,432,260. Is Pro-
hibition profitable? Well say

DRYING UP THE SPRINGS
OF EMPLOYMENT

In discussing the question OF
how taxes bear down on the
business man, the San Fran
cisco Chronicle recently con-
Quoted an investigation which
showed that while the average
person does not know what re-
lation his taxes bear to his net
income, carefully managed
business concerns know TO a
penny what tax load they are
carrying.
A San Francisco merchan-
dising house in 1881 paid 81
per cent of it's net income in
taxes. A large farmer paid 81
per cent, and on some of his
land which produced an iu-
come of SIS an acre, he paid $25
an acre in taxes. Another ma
tionally known farming con-
Germ in the state paid S41a per
cent of it's net income in taxes,
with an outlook for no net in
come this year but with taxes
just as high.
The Chronicle says these are
not extreme cases and then
cites an insurance company
which paid between 35 AID 40
per cent, one of the big oil
companies paid 80 per cent and
a big butter and egg man dug
up 80 per cent of his net earn
ings.
Anyone who imagiliys that
soaking an industry from 30 to
80 per cent of it's net Income in
taxes, doesn't soak the labor
ing man, should think again.
Such taxation simply means
fewer jobs, for it dries up the
sources of revenue which Gre
ate employment.

PRESENT RECOMMENDA.
TIONS FOR TAX RE-
DTJCTTON

At the regular meeting of the
County Commissioners last
week, a delegation from the
Ninth district appeared before
the Board and presented a rec
ommendation that the school
authorities suspend building
program for two years and the
teachers refund ten per cent of
their salaries voluntarily.
For a period of one year or
until the depression is over,
the group recommended that
the County Agent and Demon
strator, County Health and
County Welfare Association be
eliminated and the latter work
pport ID by community
groups voluntarily. They sug-
gested that the former County
Health system, with local
doctor take the place of the
Health Department and con-
duct pre-school clinics while
the present free clinics be con-
Quoted at Union Hospital.
They suggested that if a
group in the county feels that
one or more of the depart
ments are indispensable, that
group pay one-half of it's main
talnance while the county pay
the other half.

ands of masts June IA, is the
one given us by George Wash
ington, to float as the first
bright banner Of unstained
honor, over a people for whom
he prepared a great destiny.
1t drew the early patriots
from comfortable homes, from
security of their occupations
and from the love of their fam
lilies, to fight for the larger
world which we inherit. What
to them was a far ideal is to us
the great reality. No good
American will neglect to ask
himself how well he preserves
the courage, the spirit of sacri-
flee belonging to those men
and women who gave us this
priceless heritage, on this re-
turning anniversary of the day
when their flag was born. \
Hardly had the American
flag appeared when it began to
play an immortal part in our
history. 1t first was flung in
face of the enemy less than two
months after it's creation, at
Fort Stanwix, on August 3,
LIT. 1t was first carried into
battle by George Washington's
troops at the Battle of the
Brandywine, September IL,
1777. 1t was first saluted by
the British at the surrender of
Burgoyne, October II, 1777.
On February IA, Its, John
Paul Jones took the first salute
to the flag as a naval emblem
when he sailed the Ranger"
into Quiberon Bay, France.
On April "a, the same year ne
forced the first striking colors
to the American flag by tie
British ship Drake" in a Brit
ish port. In 1887 the flag was
first carried around the world
by the ship Columbia" sailing
from Boston. It was first
flown in battle in the Pacific by
the U. S. Frigate Essex" in
1918, and in the next year it
inspired Francis Scott Key to
''The Star Spangled Banner. :"
Once. in 1894, when Vermont
and Kentucky joined the
Union, the stars and stripes
were increased to Is; but in
1918 Congress fixed the final
form of the flag as of thirteen
stripes, with a star to represent
each State. On April 6, 1909,
Admiral Peary planted the first
American flag at the North
Pole. Since then Admiral Byrd
has carried it to both poles.
Wherever it has gone it has
meant honor and achievement,
but this year it floats in honor
of the greatest Of Americans
and the greatest of achieve
ments = George Washington,
and his creation of the United
States.

 Sisson said there is reason to believe the worst of the depres- sions is past and elements of i'm provement noted thus far are the forerunners of a more tangible re- covery that will gradually raise business activity, earnings and em- ployment to the levels that "our natural and human resources give us the right to regard as normal" 1"
