THE FARMER FIGHTS
At its recent annual convention,
The American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton, representative organiza-
ton of millions of farmers, went
on record with this significant re-
solution: 1--WE condemn discrimina-
tory and punitive taxes of all types
designed to favor or penalize
selected group. The enactment OF
such legislation results in further
efforts by other groups to obtain
special privileges. Such unneces-
sary taxes and restrictions have q
damaging effect by increasing
costs of distribution, increasing
costs to consumers, reducing total
consumption. and limiting produc-
ton in agriculture as we'll as in
industry. We oppose all such tax
proposals"
American agriculture has a very
direct and personal interest today
in the question Of punitive, bust
misunderstanding taxation. I n
chain stores are under attack in
many cities and states, and a
national law is pending which, If
passed, would make the continued
operation of the large national
chains impossible. And these are
the stores which move hundreds
of millions Of dollars worth of
farm produce each year-which
provide agriculture with one of its
largest and most dependable mar
kets-which reduce overhead and
in-between costs, thus stimulating
consumption of all kinds of foods
and which. in time of need, have
successfully carried on nation
wide consumer-producer cam
paigns to move heavy SURPRISES of
distressed crops, at fair prices,
thus saving thousands of farm
from ruin.
One big need of the times is to
further reduce the cost of distri-
button, and to encourage, not ham,
per, those agencies which have
proven they can do this vital job.
Mass merchandising is as neces-
sary a part of our modern life as
is mass production,
A plank recently adopted in the
platform of the National Grange,
another leading farm organiza-
lions, says, we should Cooperate
in developing efficient methods of
distribution, to the end that con-
sumption may be widened, and
costs kept at a mini
The American farmer is
wisely fighting punitive legisla-
ton that blocks this end-and his
fight Is in the interest of us all.

something about it,.

natives cheWed bread that tast-

and he was King of the Walk.
AS matter of fact the folks
couldn't do enough for him.

an extremely faint idea of the

SO what did the folks do?
Well, they called a meeting to-
gether and they talked Of a
grand memorial. Then they
talked some more. Several years
later another meeting was call
and more talk followed. But
still no action. Anyway, one
day while walking up West
Washington street, the natives
noticed a cheap roster, bearing
the names of heroes, slapped up
against our antiquated Court
House. It's been there so long
that haven't the slightest idea

His procedure has always been

In cases where he could not OBJ
