proved Methods.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. has In
creased approximately 25 per cent dur
ing the last year. due to continued de-
preston and discovery of new methods
to alter and initiate currency and
coins.
It was learned today that criminals
are using extensively chemical proc
esses which remove all coloring and
printing on 81 bills and enable them
to substitute larger figures in the cor.
ners of bank notes.
Another new development in coun-
terfeiting is the increased production
of spurious bills of small denomina-
tons rather than $40 and $40 notes.
Large amounts of small imperfect
coins also are appearing in widely-scat-
tered sections of the country.
Secret-service officials said that de-
spite this improved technique they had
succeeded In checking the increase In
counterfeiting which began in the sum-
mer of 1881. During the 1892 fiscal
year 2,139 arrests were made. COM
pared with 1,524 the previous year.
Agents this year seized s540,53S of
counterfeit currency and S49,773 of
coins.
One of the chemicals used by coun-
terfeiters reduces genuine bills to the
original silk paper. They then use en-
cravings to print currency of higher
denominations In other processes the
numbers 1. 5. and 10 are removed or
altered to 10, 20, so. or 100. The words

the ink can easily be removed.
During the fiscal year II new issues
Of counterfeit currency appeared. as
compared with II in 1882. The II new
issues were found to have 20 varia-
lions.
Secret-service activities show that
counterfeiting has spread to new sec
tons of the country and that the serv.
ice must widen it's battle against cur
rency and coin violators. Year after
year counterfeiters advance in their
methods of production and distribution
and their movements become more
yelled and difficult to check, officials
said.

Vienna.-Women visitors to hos

patients, even if these are married,
a court in Vienna ruled. Paul
Johannes, lying in a Viennese hos
pital, where he had been operated
on, frequently was visited by girl
friend of bis wife. His visitor,
good-loOking widow of about thir-
ty, always kissed the man when
coming and leaving. His wife con-
sidered the widows behavior TO
be too charitable" and filed a suit
of divorce. The court, however.
did not see a default in the kisses
of the young widow and dismissed
the case.

Cause for Worry.

It is the potential abuse Of the priv
ileges accorded by the proposition,
however, that causes the greatest wor-
ry. Some opponents urge that the tax
will be collected and the farmers will
be rewarded. and that there will be
an early tendency TO forget about the
limitation on production that is sup
posed to result. In that event, IL
would be undeniably special privilege.
a subsidy that would run into hun
dreds of millions annually.
Behind the terms OF the legislation,
too, lies an almost certain pressure
that will bear down on congress ev-
cry day of the year to increase the
bounties or rewards paid for reduced
production. Farmers could claim they
were not receiving all they were en-
titled to receive under the policy OF
the bill, and demands for higher tar
ifs would be inconsequential beside
the furore that could be set up in be
half OF a plea for higher adjustment
rates on wheat or tobacco or hogs.
The bill undeniably puts agriculture
deeper into politics than it ever has
been.
The bill has not been passed yet,
and it appears that even If the senate
gives 1t approval, there may be Pres
idential veto awaiting. But the fact
remains, legislation which many
friends of agriculture fear may have
more of the bad than it has Of good
is nearer final enactment now than IL
ever has been before. The domestic
allotment plan. the export debenture
plan and the equalization fee have
run the gauntlet several times before
In one form or another. yet never be-
fore have the prospects of final ap-
prevail been as near as now. since
there is change coming in the White
House soon.
While President-Elect Roosevelt has
made no statement publicly respecting
the house bill. Chairman Jones said il
was modelled along the lines OF farm
relief which the next President had
indicated in the farm speech he de-
livered at Topeka, Kan, during his
campaign. If that be true in all re-
spects, when the next congress as
sembles with its overwhelming DEM
ocratic majority In house and senate.

ion it was presented to the house.

On the Other Hand.

Now, as to the other side of the pic
ture. If the plan works as Mr.. Jones
and his colleagues maintain that IL
will, the farmer will have the two
fold benefit of the increased price due
to the bounty and presumably the add
ed value given the commodity by
shortened supplies.
And, If the plan works, the conSum-
er will find himself in the unusual sit
uation of paying the farmer to raise
the price by limiting the supplies. In
short, the consumers bread will cost
more because the miller pays an adj
justment charge on wheat, and his
ham will cost more because the packer
has paid the tax as a professor or
the hogs, and so on through the list
of whatever commodities eventually
are included in the terms Of the law
1t will readily be seen that this cir
cumstance is certain TO present q
sharp alignment between agriculture
and residents of larger cities and prob
ably of smaller cities and towns as
well. There is evidence of it already
in the undercurrent Of discussions
around the Capitol, and the circum-
stance is not one at which senator's
and representatives are looking with
enthusiasm. They can see plenty OF
kick-backs, for after all city votes are
more important to some of the poll
ticians than are the country votes
The reverse is true of a very great
many of the house members and some
of the senator's, from all of which the
possibilities of the alignment become
apparent.
But In justification Of the use Of the
farm parity system, its sponsors are
saying that American agriculture is
now producing under conditions of I'M
restricted individualism in an era
when all other production. including
agriculture in almost all other coun-
tries, is either protected or controlled
They are saying that American agri-
culture should not be denied the right
to set up its own defenses. 1t should
have its means Of protecting itself
against this free competition until the.
time arrives when other producers &C
cept free trade.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1933-01-20

his acreage, or the tonnage OF his hog
production, by 20 per cent.
The funds with which to pay those
certificates would be raised, as was
stated earlier, by the tax on process
ing. The first professor would De
called upon to pay the charge nxed'
and then the treasury would use the
amount in pro rata repayments as
reward to those farmers who complied
with the voluntary reduction program,
so there would be, theoretically at
least, a tendency to balance consump-
ton and production by holding down
the latter.
From these facts it is seen that
there must be an apportionment, de-
termination of the amount that may
be produced of each of the commodl-
ties to which the bill applies. The
method is this: the secretary or ag-
riculture, in effect, determines what
the normal requirements for domestic
use are going to be, and apportions the
total among the producing areas &C
cording to their previous percentage OF
the total output.
But the secretary cannot stop there.
The allotment must be carried on
through the several states TO the coun-
ties of each and to the very unit, the
farm, so that each farmer may know
what he may plant in wheat or cotton
or tobacco, or how many hogs he may
grow for market. 1t thus sets up one
of the most far-fung organizations
known to history, for it is self-evident
that the secretary of agriculture, nor
any other one human being, could do
that job by himself. There will have
to be, first, federal organization for
the headquarters, state headquarters
and county headquarters, and workers
in all of them in order to see that the
requirements are met. If there is not
such an organization throughout,
there will be no way to prevent abuse
of the adjustment privilege.

Wallace to use various methods or q

had from 1909 to 1914.

It makes it possible for Wallace to
reward with cash payments those
farmers who reduce their acreage. He
can lease lands, sell options on Govern
ment-held cotton or employ the domes-
tic allotment plan under which farmers
are paid benefits" on that proportion
OF their crop used for consumption in
this country.
To provide fund to pay, he Is auth
orized to levy processing taxes. One has
gone into effect on wheat, at 80 cents
a bushel, while another on cotton, prob
ably cents q pound, Is to become
effective about August /.
These are levied at the manufacture
ing plant where the raw commodity is
first processed. It Is designed as tax
on that part Of the crop used by United
States consumers.
1t can be levied up to q maximum
amount equal to the difference between
the current average and pre-war aver
age farm prices. 1t can be levied on
seven mmodities-wheat, cotton, corn,
hogs, tobacco. rice and dairy products.
But aid under the act is hot limited to
growers of these crops.
Any basic crops In their raw form
sent to foreign markets are free from
the tax.
