TOO MUCH TOO HANDLE

It is increasingly evident that neither members of the committee nor the general public had fully understood the magnitude of the investigation until the economists began staking out the foundation If finished as outlined it will take ten months to two years of more or less continuous hearings.
 Already it is widely speculated that ultimately the thing will mar row down to a battle of econo- mists, each seeking to impose his pet theory of economic reforma- tion upon the committee when it comes to writing legislation In that event the economist who wins the inside track with the commit tee will design the legislation, re- gardless of stacks of tables, charts and horseback opinions.

clippers lost $19,So0, 100000 in divi- dends. Gross farm losses added up to $38,600,000, 900.
 Strangely enough the production of shoes didn't slip much, even in the tough years, which indicates the days of the barefoot boy are about gone In 1886 and 1897 more than 400,000,000 pairs were produced each year, far greater even than 1929.
 By this time several committee members were more than bored while others tried to cover up by asking questions. A member of Congress can't yawn in public with any safety whatever because sure as shootin' a photographer will snap him with his mouth stretched to ball-swalloWing pro- portions.

Use of Pencil Urged
BY Farm Expert
BY c. o. stoff. L. D. S. Church

Even though the season is well
advanced it is not too late now to
begin keeping your farm account.
If you have not already done so.
Generally speaking the pencil is
the most neglected farm implement.
Have you ever thought of your
pencil as a part of your farm ma
chinery?
Some folks says they are afraid
Of record the figures, as they may
show in the red at the end of the
season. Such a fear is foolish
There is no question that time
spent with the pencil, first plann-
ing and budgeting farm and home
operations and secondly recording
the actual working out of the plans,
will pay greater dividends than
time spent in any other farm opera
ton. An elaborate set of books is
not necessary. Your county agent
or your county supervisor will as
sist you with recommendations on
the kind of record book to use, or
you may write to the Church Sc
curity office.
As much of the guess as posslbl
should be taken out of farming One
of the best ways to do this is to
cease depending on memory ana
record receipts and expenses on
paper. Inventories play a vital part
in farm management and should
be made annually. Begin now with
that record and eliminate some OF
the guess from the business OF
farming

Farm Mortgages
Show Increase

Private creditors are showing no
reluctance to invest funds in farm
mortgages, having extended over
se53 2e5 900 of such credit in the
- months ended April /, 1888, com
pared with $642,O17,OOO for the pre-
ceding - months. w. |. Myers.
Governor of the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration. who gave these fl
CURES in a statement today, sald
total farm mortgage financing dur
ing the recent 12-months' period all
creditors. including the Federal
land banks and Commissioner, ag-
gregated $749, ,355,OOO
While the amount of mortgages
written by individuals and com
mercial banks declined slightly dur
ing the first three months of this
year as compared with the 1887
first quarter, Governor Myers said
the amount written by insurance
companies continued to increase
heing IL per cent above the 1887
level. and more than three times
as high as in 1884. Total farm
mortgages reported by all creditors
during the first quarter of the year
aggregated S214,7S9 900, of hich SIS
Q 296 600 was written by private
lenders and S25 ,493, 900 by the Fed
eral land banks and Commissioner.
Myers pointed out particularly
that the amount of farm mortgages
recorded, as reported to the FCA
bv county clerks and other report
ers throughout the United States,
include renewals and reflnanclng
of existing mortgages. To that eX-
tent the figures do not represent
additions to the outstanding 1arm
mortgage debt, which declined 70
S7.254.S21. 900 in 1937-the smallest
in II years. The recordings 40
Indicate. however, the extent 10
which lenders are making mort
gage credit, available to farmers
either through renewals, reIlhahc-
ing or new loans.
Banks, insurance companies anu
individuals are extending suDstahI-
ial amounts of new mortgage credlI'
particularly for farm purchasing
Myers continued, "but this new II
ancing does not show up IN the
total outstanding mortgage DEBT
because farmers repaymehlS VI
mortgages have been heavy. For
instance. the Federal land banks
last year collected considerably
more money than they loaned.
In the South Atlantic States ana
Texas. farm mortgage recordings
increased more than 10 per cent
during the first quarter of 1883
compared with the first three
months of 1881
According to Myers, indlvldudl
lenders are now writing a larger
number of farm mortgages imam
any other class of creditors, follow
cd bv commercial banks. In the
1888 first quarter, individuals ac-
counted for 35.1 per cent OF the
amount of farm mortgages recoro-
ed: commercial banks 26.S per cent;
insurance companies 19 per cent;
Federal land banks and Commlssl-
oner 11.9 per cent; miscellaneous
creditors 7.2 per cent.

Suggests Plan to End
Tax.Eater Government

To the Editor of The Star: q
Sundays Star contained two excellent
and significant editorials, one Of them
entitled "Tax-Eater Government" the
other Dangerous Power" The former
is particularly significant but it offers
no remedy. May I suggest that the
remedy might lie in taking the profit
out of job holding, which can be done
by the application of principle which
should be as sacred in democracy as
the bill of rights, the principle of COM
petition.
Competition is the final answer in
the voice of all the people. 1t is the
only way by which the many are pro-
tected from exploitation by the few.
Mediocricity strives to protect and per-
petuate itself by creating monopoly, and
those who would profit by monopoly al
ways rail loudest against competition.
If the principle of competition were
applied to tax-paid jobs, both as to
the job will be done, taxes could be re-
duced so per cent and the great scramble,
wire pulling and manipulating for tax
duced to an irreducible minimum. This
could be accomplished by requiring all
applicants for jobs to state in their ap-
plication the price at which they will
take the job, then awarding the Job to
the lowest bidder among those qualified.
OF course, qualification should be de-
termined, as far as possible, by. civil
service examination open to all the
people, not the few who may be friends
OF those In power.
