WALLACE WANTS
u. S. TO CONTROL
FARM PROGRAM

Secretary of Agriculture Henry
A. Wallace believes the nation ra-
Their than the 48 states should es-
tablish the policies and admins
trate farm legislation.
His views on the subject are set
forth in the following excerpts
from a public statement:
GAS enacted following the Hoo
sac Mills decision a year ago, the
soil conservation and domestic al
lotment act contains a provision
requiring that administration of
the agricultural conservation pro-
gram be transferred to the states
by January l, 1888.
"The legislatures of 43 states
are scheduled to meet this month
Many members are making in
quiries as to whether this require
ment must be met, and if so what
kind of state enabling legislation
could be enacted that would fill
the needs.
"Along with such inquiries are
coming, from many sources, ex-
preSsions of skepticiSm as to the
practicability of the requirement
While this provision of the law
was enacted as an experiment
well worth trying, consideration
and study have focused attention
upon the practical difficulties in
volved. AS I size up the feeling
now of people interested in the
present and future success of the
AAA program, they believe that
both national and local welfare
call for its continued administra-
ton as a federal program, with
farmers, farm leaders and state
college representatives participa-
ting directly in planning and op-
Grafton.
"This widespread feeling points
to the conclusion that the effective
date of the transfer to operation
under 48 states statutes should
be postponed or the provision
should be repealed. Operation OF
a national farm program under 4S
different sets of auspices is not
now practicable. The problems OF
agricultural prices, income and
competitive exploitation of soil
have no regard whatever for state
lines"

The Consumer Paws

A HUMAN beings we smile and say
II cts too bad" when some one else gets
4 hit with some new kind of tax or boost
in the old kind and never worry or fret
about it so long as we are not directly touch
ed.
The result is that congress and the
legislature, guided by the president and gov
ernor, 60 on raising rates here and there
and conceiving new taxes happily aware of
the fact that as long as only minority in
terest has to write the check for them, the
public is oblivious of the trend.
1t is time the public was taken into the
confidence of these corporations and other
heavy taxpayers and advised that no matter
who writes the check, it is the consumer,
you and l, who eventually foot the bill for
each new government idea.
Take for example the proposed new
state tax on the telephone companies. AS
Individual telephone subscribers we all very
naturally suppose the rates are too high and
we have no objection whatever to their con-
tributing more to tax funds. We are pretty
secure against rate increase but we ignore
the possibility that a rate reduction might
be brought about if the new tax was not
applied.
To get closer home, take groceries you
are fortunate enough to have at your table.
At the outset the raw product was produced
we III Say upon SOlIe MINNESOTA ldrHl. he
farmer paid taxes and while his market is
such that he cannot add the taxes to the
price of the produce, he must eventually get
his taxes as we'll as all his other expenses
out of the selling price of his produce to
continue farming.
The marketing agent paid taxes which
he directly applies to the cost of the mater
ial He sells to the manufacturer who gets
hit with every kind of tax known to average
citizens plus corporate income tax, CAPT.
tai stock tax, if he is successful an excess
profits tax and possibly few others. His
selling price to the wholesaler includes not
only the tax he paid indirectly for the farm
er and marketing agent but every tax for
which he is hit. Corporations have no mint
ing privilege, they have to add the tax costs
to their goods with other expenses or go
out of business.
The wholesaler likewise hasn't been for
gotten IN the tax scheme and he has no al
tentative but to pass the taxes along like he
does the freight and the rent of his build
ing, which includes the tax somebody paid
on that, and all the other expenses he in
ours, to the grocer.
The grocer is a genial fellow willing to
do business on a slim margin in the hope
that volume will be large enough to keep the
wolf from the door. But his only income is
from the sale of groceries and if he remains
in business year after year it's because the
consumers have paid his taxes along with
his other expenses.
This is not an argument for sales tax.
1t has all the disadvantages of the present
system plus the nuisance aggravation OBJ
lection and the army of tax collectors but
it is time we realize that when the other
fellow bows to a new tax levy he simply be-
comes tax collector. IT'S the consumer who
pays and pays.

Everybody's Health

An intensive search for early
symphonies tuberculosis will
characterize the program to be
financed by Christmas Seals
throughout Minnesota in 1897, &C
cording to the announcement of
the Minnesota Public Health as
ISOLATION, which directs the state
wide work.
Uncover tuberculosis BY Mo-
dern Methods" will be the theme
of the years early diagnosis edu-
cational campaign to be launched
in April. Throughout the year en-
phasis will be placed on the fact
that by anticipating tuberculosis
and searching out threatened chill
dren by means of the Mantoux
test and x-ray, the disease can be
prevented. Only one out of every
IL Minnesota children have been
tested, the association points out.
Effort will be made this year to
promote tuberculin testing of
school children in communities in
which these modern tests have not
yet been made available.

Admiral Byrd
 Sees No Future
 Polar Commerce
(By The Associated Prcss)


 WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. Is Byrd said he doubted whether regular flights between Russia and the United States ov- CT the route pioneered by Soviet airmen this year would be prac- ticable for some years. Byrd voiced this view after he and other members of his second Ant Arctic Expedition received Spec ial Congressional medals from Secretary Swanson of the Navy Department.
 Admiral Byrd further said that the "Russia-America route can be flown only half of the year even under otherwise favorable condi- tions; the problems of ice form ing on the wings and the lack of bases make it difficult" and add ed that he never considered prac ticable, floating air bases, such as the Russians have established at the North Pole.
 Byrd minimized the military strategic possibilities of a Polar base, but said he believed that permanent weather observation stations should be maintained in the far North and South.

 Charles Brewer
Chas. D. Brewer, Veteran Arctic Trader, Says Aviation Has Revived Our Northern
 Outpost.

Point Barrow, one-time center of the Arctic whaling industry, is on the up-and-up again.
 Although the whaling industry is only a memory, the fur trade is diminishing, and the fishing is insignificant, Americas farthest- north community has become a point of interest on the world map.
 Charles D. Brewer, resident of the Arctic since 1884, has seen the rise and decline, and now the new interest in Barrow that avia- ton has made possible.
 So closely linked in Arctic his tory are the names Brewer and Point Barrow, that they are al most synonymous.
 Went North in 1884
 It was in 1884 that Brewer made his first trip to Barrow, driving a dog team from Cape Lisburne. Employed by the Pacific Steam Whaling Company, he had been looking over coal deposits for the whaling fleet. The whaling com pany is long since out of busi-- ness, but Brewer established a firm which has gone on.
 Brewer and five others went "pirating", as he calls it, and sal vaged two wrecked whalers. One was on the beach at Point Bar
