Cost of Production

Senator Shipstead said recently: Under the NRA
the principle enacted into law that industry shall
not sell below the cost of production We must find
way to balance the economy of agriculture and in
dustry by giving the farmers the cost of production
When our farm policy becomes far advanced that
the farmer gets cost of production, do than
rehabilitate the farmer rehabilitate the founda
ton of the nation"
Possibly some day our economic experts may de-
wise plan which regardless of supply and demand,
the governing factor of farm prices IN ordinary
times, may provide cost of production to farmers.
Farmers entitled to just prices, and profit
the cost of production but drastic revolution of
marketing conditions will be necessary before that
can be attained. The greatest worry the farmers of
this community have today is to get crop, that
they will have something to sell.

Looking Back
Through Time
Excerpts From the Herald OF
Thursday, Dec. 81, 1914-Items
Of Interest 20 Years Ago

The enrolment in the Sauk Cen
tre High School is so large at this
time that the present corps OF
teachers Is unable to handle 1t In a
satisfactory way. Supt. Aygarn left
for the Cities Wednesday morning,
by order Of the Board, to secure
an instructor qualified to teach
English and one particularly strong
dn music.
The band concert given by the
Sauk Centre band for the especial
benefit and entertainment of all
the children of this city at the
Caughren Theatre Christmas after
noons was enjoyed by about $50
kiddies.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. p. Arndt, of this
city. left Thursday noon for an ex-
tended trip through the South. En-
route they will travel through
Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma
and Texas.
George Bowman, of this city. at
the recommendation Of M. J.
Cleveland, highway engineer, was
appointed as one of the road
maintenance men for the coming
year.
Paul Caughren, who is attending
the Emerson school in Minneapo-
lis, is spending the holidays at the
home of his grandfather, y. A.
Caughren.
Arthur Forsberg returned to Far
go, N. D., where he is employed by
desk supply firm, on Tuesdays
Great Northern train. He had spent
several days of the holiday season
with his parents.
Bernard, the nlne-year-old son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. J. B. Schoenhoff,
met with an unfortunate accident
on December 10th. While playing
tag near his parents home he
climbed a small tree and in reach
ing for a limb he failed to grasp it
fell backwards to the ground. He
landed on his right arm, breaking
1t just above the wrist. The injur-
ed member was set Immediately
and at this time, about two weeks
after the accident, the bones seem
to be knitting in a most satisfac-
tory manner. However, it Is hard
for boy of his age to be laid up
during the holidays.
The students Of the Elrosa school

difficult to make intelligent econ
omies. The taxpayers should re-
ceive intelligent, simple reports
compiled from an efficient book
keeping system. These reports must
come from their officials, and give
the citizen proper information so
that the taxpayer will have his fin
ger on the government pulse at all
times, and know where his money
Is going.
Budgets-Levies canot be held
down unless there are carefully
planned expenditures. Budget maxi
ing Is necessary, and these budgets
should be published before the lev
les are spread on the books so that
taxpayers can have an opportunity
to study them ana modify them
when necessary, and to see that ap-
propriations are used for the pur-
pose intended. The taxpayers wish
es would be conveyed to officials
through annual budget hearings,
under the proposed new law.
Expenditure Control-The plan
here in mind is one simply to pro-
mote more careful consideration OF
levies and bond issues-to bring all
evidence into the open before a
called public hearing, and to give
the home taxpayer voice in home
tax affairs. The decision for or
against to be vested in local
board of review composed of some
such officials as the county audi
tor, the chairman Of the board Of
county commissioners, and three
selected at large, and their decision
to be subject, if necessary, to re-
versal by a two-thirds vote of the
voters Of the governmental unit.
This measure, it Is believed, would
effect millions Of dollars in savings
annually throughout the State.
Consultations and Notifications
There are a number of things
that come under this head, but
such changes would contemplate
doing away with some Implications
through consultations, and would
offer changes in tax collections,
and some reforms in issuing war
rants.
Tax Equalization-The proposals
here in mind contemplate the equal
ization Of taxes, and would remove
a substantial part of the present
tax on general property by utilizing
a supplementary source Of local
revenue. Under the equalization
proposals, whatever public improve
ments or benefits that are incident
to the protection service, and the
value of real estate would be the
basis of determining levies assess
ed against such property. On the
other hand, services that are bene-

Tax Reform Bills
To Be Offered AT
Coming Session

Officials OF the Minnesota Tax
payers Association have been work
ing for many months on the legis-
lative bills that will deal with pro
blems considered Of the utmost i'm
portance to the taxpayer and to the
promotion Of wise and economical
administration Of governmental
functions.
These bills will be completed pre-
ceding the opening of the coming
session Of the State Legislature
Exhaustive studies have been made
as a basis for the changes propos-
ed. In some cases. the State Asso-
citation will recommend changes in
old laws; in other cases entirely
new proposals will be offered.
To promote effective tax reform
the Minnesota Taxpayers Associa-
ton has devised program Of sew
en- points that will deal with:
1. Tax reduction.
2. Tax delinquency.
3. Public accounting systems.
4. Annual budgeting.
5. Expenditure Control.
6. Consultations and modifica-
tions.
Z. Tax equalization.
Tax Reductions-A continuation
of the policy to advise less spend
ing throughout the state as very
important means Of saving taxpay-
ers from bankruptcy, and Of saw
ing government from the same
fate. The State Association feels
that the accumulative savings Of
$45, 100000 in local government
costs since 1880 demonstrates the
effectiveness Of the campaign that
has been made. It should be con-
tinued.
Tax Delinquency-The State As
ISOLATION made a comprehensive
study of the tax delinquency situa-
tion some time ago, making a sur
vey of the 81 counties, and follow
ing this devised a five point pro-
gram to cover the tax delinquency
situation, and these will be recon-
mended to the coming session.
Accounting Systems - Unless
there Is more efficient accounting
system in the State it will be very

ficial to the average individual cit
izen-and not regarded as Of dir
ect benefit to real estate would be
levied against those who receive
the benefits. Real estate now car
ries 81 per cent Of the cost of local
government, and this equalization
program would remove an age-old
condition deemed unfair to the
owner Of real property.
All the proposals Of the Mime
sofa Taxpayers Association are In
line with It's longtime policy to:
reduce the tax burden; to control
public expenditures; to effect more
efficient tax collection systems; to
eliminate extravaganza and dupli-
cation; and to equalize the tax bur
den.

OF the party. II recovery does not back under
the Roosevelt Administration most anything can
happen. If there is recovery, Roosevelt will have q
second term and six years brings many changes in
party leadership.
The country needs two parties. The Democratic
party has often been drastically defeated and had
long years Of waiting, but 1t came back. Just now
the Republican party is the best hope to take over
the government when the people want a change, as
they usually do and It Is to be remembered that Is
percent Of one party swinging over to the other,
brings about this change In the November election
the Republicans lost less than did the Democrats in
the popular vote, although the Democrats tre-
mendous victory-that may be its handicap.

The Minnesota Taxpayers League is still send
ing out publicity matter written In an Intentionally
hazy form suggesting kinds Of taxes which will
leave real estate paying only for public improve
ments which affect the value Of real estate with
out coming clean and saying what they mean. There
is doubt that the folks who finance the Minnesota
Taxpayers League are for sales tax dollar turn
over tax, but they prefer to keep under for
while yet, and put out confusing publicity to get the
public ready for a change-without specifying what
change they have in mind until the time is ripe. But
people would have faith in that organization If
1T had quits enough to call a spade spade, and be
done with it-Park Region Echo.
