RESOLUTION

July, 20, 1885
We, the members of the Farm
era Union LEGAL No. 1872, petition
You to take action to secure can
collation. of old feed and seed loans
that were sold below cost Of pro-
duetiom. For the reason that we
farmers have mOrtgaged our farms
and have delinquent taxes and do
mated our labor to feed, the masses
of the people at q time when they
were not able to. feed themselves.
We have obtained local credit and
if we are forced to pay those old
loans, il means financial ruin to
us and our creditors and will great
" kinder business recovery. AS all
received the benefit of this cheap
food, and if spread among all class.
esa of society, the burden will be
light on all. The farmer, paying
the heaviest burden. of taxsof any
class in the nation, il cancelled,
would still pay a large percentage
of the debt. If collected, the money
wOslld not amount TO- more than
SO percent of money on record, as
50 percent of the men who obtain.
ed feed and seed loans have been
forced on the farms; and If col.
Iected the remaining so percent
will be forced to leave the farm.
For the reasons above stated, we
believe collections by the govern
ment to be unfair and uniust "a
the farmers. We ask that you take
action at ence to obtain cancelIa-
tons. If you cannot obtain the
above request, we ask that Won OBJ.

Tax Reform Will
Be Session Issue
Need To Get At the Bottom of Our
Tax Troubles by Control Me-
thod Rep. Severts0n says

That tax reform will be one of
the leading issues in the coming
special session Of the Minnesota
Legislature was predicted by Rep
resentative s. Theodore Severtson,
Of Fillmore County, a member of
the tax committee Of the House.
"At the last session a great deal
was said on the subject Of taxation.
Numerous studies were made, but
when the end came the big problem
still remained. And yet, I feel that
considerable progress had been
made because all this study and in
terest will be a good starting point
for the next session." Represents
tive Severtson said in a talk in
Minneapolis today.
TN the last session, I was one of
the sponsors Of the Expenditure
Control bill that was intended to
get at the bottom Of tax abuses.
The bill was generally recognized
as a good starting point. In fact,
many Of us believe that Expendi-
ture Control would be the founda-
ton upon which all other reform
tax legislation should be built" he
stated.
'It is a safe starting point be-
cause it will guide us in avoiding
many of the pitfalls Of the past; be-
cause 1t will give us control Of the
tax situation. IF we raise new rev.

enue, or In the work Of equalizing
taxes, Expenditure Control will also
have the effect Of holding levies
down, and Of keeping bond issues

ponsible for bankrupting taxpay'-
ers', Severtson pointed out.
This Expenditure Control bill
has the support of such organiza-
lions as the Minnesota Taxpyers
Associations throughout the state,
as well as thousands Of unselfish
citizens in the ranks, who hope to
see the Legislature get at the bot
tom of the tax trouble. To reach
that trouble we must institute le-
gislation that will give some meas
ure Of reasonable control to the
people who will be called upon to
pay all the costs, that is the tax
payer. That Is why we need to start
first Of all, with the problem OF
controlling taxes that have up to
now gone completely out of; con-

stated.

USE OF CHEESE IN u. s.
SHOWS A BIG INCREASE

The approach Of National Cheese
Week, fixed by the National Cheese
Institute, November 10 to 16,
brings to light the fact that the
consumption of cheese in the Unit
ed States was one-third greater for
the first months of 1885 than for
the corresponding period of 1929.
This is real news for the dairy
farmer, because it means growing
market for his products. It means,
also, that the people of the United
States, who have been far behind
the peoples of other countries in
the use Of cheese, are beginning to
appreciate the value Of cheese as a
nutritious and health-building food.
Prof. w. B. Combs, in charge of
dairy manufacturing work at Uni
versity Farm, st. Paul, says that
the marked increase in the con-
sumption of cheese this year is
but an added indication of the
growing favor in which the food Is
held. He adds that National Cheese
Week should emphasize to home
makers the food values of cheese.
Contrary to the belief of many, he
says, cheese is easily digested. 1t
can be combined with other foods
in many delicious dishes, it is rich
in protein, in fat, in mineral mat
ter and in those well-recognized
essentials, the vitamins.
The aim Of Cheese Week is to in
terest manufacturers, retailers and
consumers, all, in bringing cheese
as a wholesome food to the atten-
ton Of the largest possible public.
Minnesota Is interested, owing to
its great investment in the dairy
industries.

BILLINGS WARNS ABOUT
FAKE TURKEY BUYERS

AS turkey marketing time draws
near, DR.. w. A. Billings of the agri-
cultural extension service, Univer-
sity Farm, warns growers not to
"give" their birds away by dealing
with unknown buyers. Knowing
the firm you sell to-" is the way to
avoid disappointment, according to
Billings. ANY reliable buyer OF
turkeys has a financial rating. II
you don't know how to investigate
your local banker will gladly do il
for you.
"In Minnesota there are four or
five common ways to dispose OF
turkeys" DR.. Billings says. First
you may place your birds in a co
operative pool. You will take q
cash-in-advance part-payment and
the final settlement made when the
pool is sold. This may be couple
Of weeks later. This is a safe
method.
Second, you may sell them to
other regular dealers who will buy
your birds outright. This Is also
safe, for we have many reliable
firms in the Northwest.
Third, you may ship direct to
firms in far places Maybe they
have contacted you by mail OF
through a representative who called
at your farm. Be sure to investi-
gate dealers in distant places-the
good ones will welcome your in
terest and gladly furnish references
Fourth, you may huckster OF
peddle your birds in some nearby
town or city to butchers, or even
make house-to-house sales direct
to consumers. This Is not always

to do 5000 man-days of roadside
development work, and the Spruce
creek camp between Lutsen and
Grand Marais is continuing in the
work. The Spruce creek camp was
established in 1884, and its work
was responsible for the decision Of
federal authorities to expand this
type of CCC project.
One Of the jobs planned by the
highway department for the Mile
Laos camp Is construction Of q
parking concourse on Highway 1859
overlooking the lake two miles
south Of Garrison. The park will be
go feet above the water on the sum-
NIT Of a wooded knoll, and will
give a beautiful view Of Mile Laos
lake.
On Highway 371 about five miles
north Of Walker a parking con-
course is to be built overlooking
Leech lake from a height Of sever
al hundred feet. The Knife river
camp also is to build a parking con-
course facing Lake Superior and
giving view Of Duluth in the dis
lance. A Lake Superior overlook
was completed by the Spruce creek
camp this year.
Besides constructing parking con-
courses, the CCC workers will also
widen highway shoulders, flatten
ditch and back slopes, remove fire
hazards in the wooded roadsides
and restore natural woods growths
where advisable. In all these pro-
jects the labor and materials are
furnished by the CCC while the
plans and general supervision are
supplied by the highway depart
ment, so the cost to the state is
very small.

BOSS URGES VOTING
IN CORN-HOG POLL

do you favor a corn-hog ad.
justment program to follow the
one expiring November 80, 1882"
The Agricultural Adjustment Ad
ministration is putting this ques.
ton up squarely to corn and hog
farmers in the referendum October
26. On their answer will depend the
decision of the AAA as to whether
or not a new program will be Of.
fered.
In a message to University Farm
st. Paul, announcing the referen-
dunn, G. B. Thorne, director Of the
division of livestock and feed
grains Of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration, said:
1.-THE public hearing Tin Wash
ington) of September 26 and q
has disclosed economic and legal
justification for another corn-hog
program, providing there Is ade-
ouate evidence 1t would be suffic-
iently supported by farmers to
make it Enthusiastically practi-
cable. The determination as to
whether or not another program
will be developed now rests with
the producers"
Similarity the following state
ment was made in q recent AAA
bulletin: 'Unless the results of q
referendum indicate a strong de-
sire for continuing cooperative
control of corn-hog production, nc
adjustment program will be offer
ed"
"This being the case" says Frank
Winter, chairman of the county
corn-hog committee, "a failure to
vote may be interpreted as an un,
favorable vote, and a substantial
number Of such failures to vote
may kill the program. To prevent
such an Interpretation, all persons
eligible to vote should vote in this
referendum.
"Voting Yes will not obligate
the voter in any way to accept any
contract that may be offered as a
result of the referendum. It merely
indicates his belief that program
generally similar to the 1885 pro-
gram should be offered, and leaves
