FARMERS NEW DEAL VOTE

According to the last United States
Census there were 6,297,S77 farms in
the United States. When the vote was
taken in June last for and against the
AAA acts paying farmers for cotton
and wheat that were not raised, only
2,918,758 farmers voted, if no far
n1er voted on more than one of these
projects. Of course there must have
been a large number of duplicates,
persons voting on two or more sub
jects. But counting no duplicates, the
total number voting were but about
46 per cent of the whole. Of these,
eliminating cotton voters, for. which
we do not have the vote for and
against, 247,059 voted against being
paid for curtailing their crops. The
wonder of it is that after all the Gov
eminent propaganda and batting with
Government checks "a sort of brib-
ery) the farmers did not fall for the
proposition 100 per cent. 1t speaks
loudly for the sturdy manhood of the
American farmer.

"The Court could not accept such a
plea as the question of sentence was in

State to produce it's evidence under

YESTERDAY AND TO-DAY

It is 315 years since the Pilgrims
landed on Plymouth Rock, In those
early years the people Sometimes found
it hard to pro1id8 the t2ecessitiss iof
life, but they succeeded.raTiup,s5l
Since we became nation we have
not. only provided ,f0r yourselves but
for some of the. lS eesst Of the world, The
New Deal has made a change.
In 1888 we FED Ourselves and ex-
ported 53,5OO,O0O bushels of wheat.
The New Deal lpp6Ait farmers for hot
raising wheat. and ip, 1885 we have
imported 28,000, 900 bushels to supply
our needs, and Exported nohe.: In; 1888
we sold abroad 4,870,O0e bushels of
rye, but in 1885 we imported 11,O0O,-
600 bushels. In 1888 We soldE abroad
675,0OO,OOO pounds Of lard, but in. 1885
we had to buy 100000 pounds to
meet our needs. In 1888 we sold abroad
300,0O0,O00 pounds of pork, but in 1885
the tables were turned and we bought
100000 pounds. Besides all this the
consumer has had to pay enormously
higher prices for what he used!
And what has the Neh Deal to do
with this?
AS an example, take the matter of
pigs. The Government paid $6,OOO,00O
to have little pigg%and >broodirg sows
killed. It paid sf,OOO,OOO,OoO to have

For the fourth time in less than a

Professor McGlenn was in Oakland

Snow was two feet deep over the
county. Numerous sleighing parties
were being enjoyed by the young peo-
pie of Oakland and surrounding COM

idea of putting maple syrup up in

TAXES AND BUSINESS

In 1885 more than 80 per cent of all
Federal tax revenues were collected
from business in the first instance, ac-
cording to the National Industrial
Conference Board, In an analysis of
the proposed tax on undivided profits,
the board points out that while many
of these taxes, such as the tax on to-
bacco and liquors, are shifted to con-
sumers, the Federal Government now
depends and must continue to depend
upon business for the major part of its
tax revenues. Consequently, the Gov
eminent would be pursuing a course
contrary to its own revenue interests
in adopting measures tending to dis
organize and deplete the capital struc-
ture of business enterprise. A sum-
mary of the boards study says:
"The earnings of corporations and
unincorporated businesses cannot be
tapped indefinitely without introduce
ing tendencies which in the long run
will prove to be- economically harmful.
If the Government absorbs $620,0O0,-
900 more of the earnings of business
enterprises in 1887 than in 1886, it
will mean that the funds available for
productive purposes and for the ex-
pansion and improvement of produc-
tive equipment will be reduced"
Taxing big business has always
been one of the favorite plans of the
so-called statesman who likes to think,
or at least to have people think, that
he is taking the giant corporation"
to favor the common man. He is apt
to forget that when another half bill
lion is taken from the business inter-
ests, there is just a half billion less
with which business can expand land
provide more jobs for the workers. If
the taxes are made progressively high
enough, business will finally arrive at
the point where most of it's income
will go to the Government. The result
will be unemployment and idleness
and greater cost of living. If the
distribution of wealth" continued it
might easily arrive at the point where
it would be necessary for the Gov
eminent to take over and operate pri-
vate business. Then we would have the
socialized state in America without
any question.
In the meantime, it must be remem-
bered, some Of, the tax assessed by
the Federal and, local governments
against business necessarily passes
on to the CONSUMER. SO the consumer
is paying this part of the tax him
self, in the way of higher food prices,
higher rents, higher clothing costs
and so on down the line.
1t may appear possible for awhile,
to tax giant corporations and big bus
mess in the interest of the masses.
But sooner or later the masses will
have to suffer. It is very likely they
will have to suffer sooner as well as
later-sooner when they feel the cost
of living going up, and later when the
tax burdens STUNT the industry and
provide fewer and fewer jobs on which
the prosperity of America is founded.

agreements not to raise pigs. Some
farmers may have benefited by all this
but the mass of the people have suf-
fered. The same might be said of
wheat and corn and cotton and other
things which theorists have been per-
mitted to NEEDLE with.
The American people are suffer
ing today from too much government
from Washington. Unless they make
a change, many of US might as well
fold up our tents.
