DON'T EXPECT TOO MUCH

There is one important danger in state or federal
efforts to aid farmers through price control that the
farmers will expect too much. 1t is possible, for example,
for a state to decree that the price of all cheese sold within
its borders shall be raised on a certain day by three cents a
pound. This is done and Immediately a multitude of other
problems follow. The questions of export and import, the
attitude of the distributor and the buying public, the
situation in regard to demand and production-these are
matters no regulatory authority can control simply by
edict.
Nor can legislators repeal the law of supply and de-
mand, pleasant as that would be. In the long run, improve
ment in the financial condition of agriculture must come
through developing the farm producing and selling
structure in accordance with memorable economic laws.
And in this work, the farmers greatest ally is not govern
ment, but his own cooperative organization. Made up Of
himself and his ~neighbors, and co-workers, his cooperative
has his own immediate interest at heart and is, as well,
building for a sound and permanently prosperous future.
1t belongs to him it is responsible to his will and his
needs, and not to political pressure.
>The more active interest government takes in farm
ing, the greater viii be the need or producer organization.
The stronger such organizations are, the more Influential
they viii be-and the better their chance of protecting the
farmer from unwise political action, and directing govern
ment measures into really worthwhile channels.
No, the farmer mustn't expect too much from gov
eminent 1t will do its best, but its best can be greatly aid
ed by strong cooperatives.

is held tightly by two countries.
Stabilizing silver is not necessarily
bi-metalism of the old 16-1 brand. 1t
means that the governments Of the
world will reach an agreement for
keeping the price of silver at a more
or less fixed ratio to the price Of
gold, whether that relation is 1911 or
100 to l. It is a proposal in the in
terest of world economic stability.
Here in the United States, there is
another phase to it: If the mining
industry is given a new lease on life
through silver resuscitation, thous-
ands Of men will be put to work and
millions Of dollars will find their way
into the channels of industry.

START DRIVING NAILS

In an editorial concerning the re.
novizing campaigns that have found q
welcome in a multitude Of American
communities. the Saturday Evening
Post says: when a city or a town
makes a united effort to improve the
local employment and business situa.
ton, it also builds up its own conf.
dence. There is less uncertainty and
apathy when everybody pitches in to
stimulate work Of such a useful kind
1t is nothing but good local business.
But its greatest BSnefit will come
when it is adopted by practically all
the cities and towns in the country
The slogan of the renovize moment is
a simple one, but for that very reas-
on it is capable of having a far-reach
ing effect. The slogan is: If a man
drives a nail he helps business ("
There is another good slogan. too.
and that n is: Employment and
investment are cheaper than charity"
One of the mat purposes Of renoviz-
ing campaigns is to provide the un-
employed with productive work-as
distinct from work which is not nee
essary, and is given more or less as
charity. During the past three years
millions Of structures-hotels. ware
houses, business buildings and resi-
dences-have been allowed to run
Their owners have taken the
attitude that economy came first
that they would spend as little as pos
sible until they could see what was
coming. To permit them to go on
longer without repairs is the most
prodigal kind Of luxury. True econ
omy is to protect the investment by
making improvements and repairs
now-when they can be had at rock
bottom prices.
It's time to start driving nails.

HAD LINDBERGH BEEN A
NEGRO

No one has aver attempted to
gauge the value Of Linbergh's trans
atlantic flight, because there is no
known standard great enough by
which the value of such an outstand-
ing achievement may be measured
The breaking down Of prejudices be-
tween nations, the establishment over
night of boundless goodwill, and the
~stupendous economic and scientific
develo1hent in aerial transportation
which was the direct outcome Of this
great venture, defies all attempts at
e~valuation.
Had Lindbergh been a Negro, the
impetus which his flight would have
given to our race would have resulted
in the placing of the economic and
social status of our group years in
advance Of its present standing.
Today a serious minded group of
colored men are seeking to enlist the
support Of every Negro magazine,
newspaper, organization and individ-
ual to gain for the Negro ace much
needed respect and recognition via
the LINDBERGH ROUTE.
Aviation because Of its newness, its
daring, its unusual appeal and its
proven value in the field Of transport
/ alton offers a novel method of at
tracing world wide attention to those
groups who foster it. Every progress
sive race of people it at the present
moment taking full advantage of the
truth Of the foregoing statement.
With this in mind it is here suggest
ed that the Negro wake up, step for
ward and make a series Of aeroplane
flights in planes owned, piloted and
backed by Negroes before this useful
tool becomes worn out or rusty.
At the present moment an aero
plane owned by a member of our race
and two ~aviators who are men of oul
own group stand ready to take off OF
the first of a series Of flights that
are destined to attract worldwide at
tention. These men and their equip
ment represent an investment il

ional fund Of two thousand dollar.

SILVER REVIVAL

One of the problems confronting
the World Economic Conference, on
which there seems to be a good chance
OF reaching agreement, is silver.
Every important nation has felt the
baleful effects of abnormally low sill
yer prices. 1t has seen foreign trade
shrink and come close to passing away
entirely. 1t has observed the col
lapse of the purchasing power of half
the worlds people, who use silver as
their money-metal. And it has dis

WHERE THE DEALER STANDS

WHERE THE DEALER STANDS
An editorial in the Electrical World
points out that there has been a
change in the attitude of dealers in
electric appliances toward the sale of
these appliances by utilities. Where
a short time ago, the bulk of dealers
were asking for laws forbidding util-
ity merchandising, they are now often
found in the ranks of those who op-
pose the bills.
To quote the World. dealers have
helped defeat legislation and then
said Ito the utility): We've done this
Tor you. Now you help us by more
active selling that will benefit us
all They are learning that power
company sales, far from taking the
market away from the Independent
dealer, work the other way-they
broaden his potential market, open
new avenues for sales and create a
demand for parts and service.
Two S~tates-Kansas and Oklahoma
now have utility anti-merchandisine
laws. They have been singular fail
ures, if the accounts one hears from
~disinterested parties are at all accur.
ate. The independent dealer has not
been helped-he has been harmed
Sales Of appliances have dropped ma.
terially. The bulk of sales that are
still made go to mail-order houses
and department stores in the large
cities. Potential increase use of DOW
er-which is the soundest hope for
reducing electric rates-is lost
The dealer and the utility IAN work
together. to the ADVANTAGE Of all con.
cerned, in selling appliances. They
can help each other, and they car
both profit. Unfriendly measures
coming from either side, are a grave
and harmful mistake.

WHAT is THE ANSWER,

Every move to put the city, state
or federal government into business
cuts the taxable assets Of the country
on the hand, while increasing the
tax bill on the other. As tax-ex-
empt government projects increase
business opportunities of the private
citizen are destroyed-also his tax
able income. "

writers recently pointed out. viewed
in terms of actual value. based on
the commodity price index, losses in
reality increased by almost $5,000,-
900. In other words the decrease in
fire loss was less than the drop in
! value Of the property destroyed.

TAXING THE NATION INTO
BANKRUPTCY

One of the main troubles of the
country at present is that Legislators
have been too busy in applying the
term bigger and better" to budgets
What should be done is to make
them smaller and better. Since 1925
individual and corporate incomes have
been undergoing a strenuous shrink.
ing process. The national income as a
whole has fallen at an unprecedented
rate. Values of all kinds have, OF
necessity, been scaled down. Inflated
values are reaching a normal level
We have approached a virtual mort.
gage moratorium.
All of this is in the interest of flu.
ture stability. It has al last been
realized that the inflated values of a
few years ago were too good to be
true. That is, it has been realized
by everyone except those who make
the tax rates.
Inc cost OF government has con-
stantly risen. States, municipalities
and counties, especially. have added
new activities by the dozen. They
have incurred millions of dollars of
new indebtednesS-on which interest
must be paid. A striking illustration
Of this is found in a recent statement
by the governor Of a Pacific Coast
commonwealth-he observed that if
every activity of the state were elm
mated there would still be not enough
income to meet expenses.
Higher taxes now may mean nat.
ional bankruptcy. Lower taxes will
certainly mean quickened recovery,
The time for talk has passed. There
must be action.
