ment of Resolution No. 80, adopted
my the Montana State Federation of
Labor at it's 10th annual convention
held in Anaconda, Montana, in August,
1913, which recommended the desir-
able features of the bill, but opposed
the employer-employee payroll tax
and proposed in lieu thereof con-
gressional budgeting of sufficient
funds annually to meet the social
security payments. Your committee
is of the opinion that social security
in all it's qualifications is a national
social problem and therefore should
be met at the expense of the nation
as a whole and not by only two
classes of society-the employer and
employee. We also favor the in
clusion of state, county and municipal
employees under the provisions of
this bill.
Your committee further recon-
mends that a copy of this report be
forwarded to the Cascade and Yellow
stone Trades and Labor assemblies,
to the congressional delegation of
Montana, to the labor press, and to
the Montana State Federation of

proved the construction of the Bitter
Root Irrigation project recommended

SYRUP PRICES ARE HIGHER

Retail prices for can syrup have
been increased by OPA as a result of
refiguring the parity formula, which
resulted in increased returns to sugar
cane growers. Increases in No. 10
cans-slightly less than one gallon
are about 10 cents for country cane
syrup, formerly known as Louisiana
cane syrup, and to cents for COM
mercial cane syrup, formerly known

An Open Letter


morale and unity of the people essen
tial to the effective prosecution of the
war M
That the railroad workers of the
nation are growing day by day more
disgruntled and dissatisfied, that they
are now engaged in taking nation
wide strike ballot in protest against
an inequitable adjudication of their
wage dispute, can be attributed to the
provocative and disruptive policies of
this congress, its scuttling of the stab
ilization program. m 1o 4ea cr
Discontinuance of price subsidies
will serve only to make more desper-
ate the needs, and hence heavier and
more emphatic the demands of those
workers. If this congress by neglect
of it's plain duty or by affirmative &C
ton permits a continued rise in the
cost of living while the executive
branch continues to freeze wages,
primary responsibility for any inter-
ruption of essential service or war
production incident to a collapse of
worker morale, will rest with the
congress.
This open letter is being mailed to
all members of the senate and the
house of representatives without re-
spect to their official reports in this
issue.
We thank those members who are
making courageous and patriotic
fight against this resolution as re-
ported out of committee.
Sincerely yours,
A. F. WHITNEY, President.

Tax on Farm Land Speculation
Discussing the plans suggested tc
prevent such a boom and bust in the
selling price of farm lands, as cursed
farmers during and after World Wal
I, Secretary Wickard says:
az am convinced that the approach
most worthy of our consideration at
this time is the so-called land boom
Briefly, this plan calls for stiff SPE-
CIAL tax on profits made from the re-
sale of farm real estate acquired dur
ing the emergency period
at would work this way: Profit
arising from the FIRST sale of a

would not be subject to this special
tax. The tax would apply only on
the second sale, or any subsequent
resale during the emergency period.
The longer the farm was held by one
owner the smaller would be his tax.
'This plan appeals to me. 1t would
not interfere with or penalize in any
way the bona-fide farmer. For in
stance, a farmer who decides to re-
tire and sells his farm would not be
subject to the special tax Nor would
the tenant who buys such a farm to
ulator who buys a farm and resells
it within a month or six months or a
year is hit and hit hard. In other
words, the tax is designed to encour-
age stability of ownership and to dis
courage circumstances such we as ex-
perienced in the last boom when a
farm might change hands several
times in a year, or even within a
couple of months, each time at a
higher figure"
Speaking on this tax on speculative
land values before the National Asso-
citation of Real Estate Boards Annual
meeting Secretary Wickard said:
"In 1921 farmers and investors be-
gan losing their farms in mounting
numbers. Estimates have placed the
number of farms and tracts lost by
forced sale since 1920 at more than
two million.
This means that the equivalent of
one-fourth to one-third of all land in
farms has gone through forced sale in
the last % years.
"The great bulk of these involun-
tary transfers had as their chief
cause, an initial mistake of a mans
paying too much for land"
Huge Profits
Recent government studies show
huge profits for professors and dis
tributors of farm products.
Wholesale Grocers-the net return
of "a wholesale grocers was 3.1%o in
1912, compared with 14@6 in 1889, and
nearly three quarters of them more

January s, OPA said recently. Be-
cause the packages were made up be-
fore these foods were rationed, and
because they are often assembled in
packages with such highly perishable
products as cakes and cookies, it is
