Fifth. We favor legislation that will
impose graduated tax and special
| license upon those chain institutions

farm and, chattel mortgage foreclo-
sure execution of liens, and eviction
from farm homes until such times as
the value of farm products equals cost
of production, and agricultural in
debtedness has been re-financed at a
low rate of interest.
Ninth, We are opposed to the pro-
posed colonization of unemployed city
people on poor farm land in the
northern part of the state, due to
the fact that we have too many peo-
pie ON farms already: we have the So
called acts of surplus hanging over
our heads: we have too much poor
land under cultivation and we have
now reached period in the United

tivation should be transferred from
private to public ownership for re-
forestation in order to save tax on
hopelessly poor land for agricultural
purposes.

state Legislature pass a resolution de-
manding of commerce the immediate
passage of the Frazier Bill.
Fifteenth, We indorse the program
of the Farmers Holiday Association
and urge the continuance of the or
binary marketing of our Farm Pro-
duce and the cost of production for
the products of the Farm used for
home consumption and the surplus
to remain on the farm, making it a

any surplus such as are embodied in
the Swank-Thomas Bill.
