PRODUCE MARKET NOTES

Dull trading was the rule in the
large markets early in the month,
but demand was beginning to in
crease again with the start of the
Christmas wholesale buying season.
Prices, as a group, were fairly
steady near the lower levels of the
week before, according to the U. S.
Bureau of Agricultural Economies.
Potatoes, apples, cucumbers, lettuce
show more price firmness. Pears,
beans, asparagus, and citrus fruits
tend downward. Most other lines
show little change in price.
Shipments of fruits and vegetables
began to increase again the first
week of December. Gains were
about $500 cars above the week be-
fore and more than 1000 above the
same week a year ago. Potato ship
ments gained One-third, compared
with late November; apples, onions,
and mixed vegetables One-fOurth;
cabbage One-fifth; oranges, cram
berries and spinach One-half. CarlOt
movement was fairly steady for
beans, peas, carrots, celery, sweet
potatoes, peppers. and lemons. De-
creases were mainly in grapefruit.
grapes. and pears.

what irregular at a level below that |

supply and demand affected price
movement.

FACTS ON COOPERATIVES

The federal government sent spe-
cial commission to Europe for spe-
cial study of consumer cOOperatives,
their development and methods. Some
facts are reported as follows:
While agricultural marketing groups
have formed three-fifths of all CO.
operatives in the United States, the
reverse holds true in Europe. Thre e.
fifths of the co-ops in 3S countries
are of the consumer type; One-fifth
of the agricultural association type
and the remainder credit unions
housing and construction societies and
workers unions.
Approximately 14O.OOO,OOO persons
in As countries are banded together in
100000 cooperative societies. Con-
sumner co-Ops in 81 countries, from
which data has been gathered, did
S21 200. 100000 in retail trade in 1884
Consumer co-ops handle 35 per cent
Of all retail trade in Finland; in Den
mark 20 per cent; England Is per cent
and Soviet Union &C per cent.

less, too, and draw more from the
Security law than those who are paid
more for less and better jobs.
Furthermore, if this law ever will
be tested for it's constitutionality in
the Supreme Court and declared un-
constitutional, let me then institute
another form of social justice SO that
workers have not to look and listen
to politicians who have nothing else
to offer than monstrosity laws.
Those laws cannot satisfy farmers
and their domestic servants, does not
keep them out of the gravel pits ard
from concentration camps. 1t only
suits the few grouchy conservatives
and for that reason these laws are
made freakish as they are.
A better system would be to equal
ize terms, time and pay for skilled
and common labor. Abolishing in
terest and dividends, compel every
body to do useful work and pay them
all alike would throw out of circula-
ton soup tickets and relief projects
But l am afraid that that will not
satisfy the gentlemen who complain
about the Security laws being inef-
ficient
It's hard to please Republicans.

OPPORTUNITY NOT EQUAL

We often hear it said that every
man has an equal chance" in this
country. Newsboys have risen to
wealth and position. Jim Hill rose
from section hand to railroad presi-
dent, etc. The chances" are equal
but the high positions are few. This
equal chance" interests only one In
ten thousand. What people want is
greater equality of opportunity, good
job for everybody and compensation
somewhere in proportion with that OF
the man at the top and at least suf-
ficient to provide a decent living
That a few in this free country have
risen from poverty to wealth and pO-
sition proves little of value to the
millions who are out of work, and
them of their equal chair

FOR BETTER FORESTS
Editor AskOv American:

CulIOT AShOV American.
Here is penty of work. Some should
have been started 25 years ago, but
better Late than never. The fire has
gone over a strip of land now and then.
When fire goes over the land it burns
the seed, then your foundation is gene.
Then you have to build new. 1t costs
money.
1t looks to me we are fighting fire
in the wrong end. If you had your
timber clear you can control fires.
To plant small trees is expensive. A
lot of them will die. Seed is cheaper
and better. If the fire don't go over
the land the timber will seed itself.
1t is the cheapest and the best. Now
we come to thinning out The time
to do that is when timber is getting
it's length. In about 25 years it has
dropped most of its limbs. Then leave
the best trees to s feet apart. Then
you will have more cubic feet and
more clear timber. If you thin out
too early you will have more scrubby
and shorter timber. When we thin
along then. Good timber saved the
land. Sow the seed from the low
value timber you believe rotten. Be-
fore we cut the good timber it would
be about another 25 years.
We were working for pine and
spruce. So were seeding fresh from
that. Then we had the upper hand.
That way we get better timber right
along. And the stump could not be
more than three inches from the high
est root. That was the biggest end
of the tree. Now when you are cut
ting the best first and leave the poor
timber you are doing the same way as
farmer selling his best cows and
keeping the poor. They say he is
foolish.
A forest is the poor mans jacket
but it is getting pretty ragged around
here. 1t needs to be patched. 1t can
be done but it takes time and the

BIG INTERESTS HOWL
ABOUT TAXES
(Mille Laos County Times)

(Mllle Laos County TlmeS)
The biggest howl about taxes usu-
ally comes from the big interests and
they are the ones who stimulate most
of such protests. The average BUSH
ness man, farmer and worker, sell
dom do any kicking about taxes if
they are doing business on a fair
basis and receiving the income to
which they are entitled.
We notice that the opposition to re-
lief for the unemployed, to soldiers
bonus, to old age pensions, and to
social security in general in our state
legislature comes from representa-
tives of the big private monopoly cor
poratiOns.
Social security measures do not add
very much to the taxes of the Ordi-
nary individual, but they do run into
many thousands of dollars when it
comes to the big corporations with
their big incomes. And that is why
such corporations make a fight against
any measure that might add to the
tax they have to pay They are we'll
able to pay the taxes, but they prefer
to hold on to their wealth and pay
it out in 100000 and 100000 annual
salaries to their officers and direc-
tors who control the majority of the
stock
So when we find alleged voluntary
organizations being formed to fight
against taxation and which spend
thousands of dollars in propaganda to
