ficiently advanced for cooperation,
one principal trouble beine that
each cooperator conceived Of HIM
sell as being now q boss-and bosses
do not work.
The land now is being sold in
small plots, up to three acres, each
with o resettlement house so far
as funds permit. For q year the
buyer, known as q "colono," rents
for 81 q month. At the end Of
that time, II he Is considered ac-
ceptable, he has an option to pur-
chase at q reduced appraisal
value, and is given rs years in which
TO pay, without interest.
This is the PRRA system. 1t is
not the one proposed by Senator
Munoz-M Marin, who Is IN position
pretty well to dictate the course
Of land redistribution.
The Munoz scheme, written In
to the insular law, consists Of
two methods. The first is the
sale Of small, individual-sized farms
10 to 80 acres--to selected agrega-
dos. Purchase instalments on these
would be lower than rent. But when
the 'colono' has bought, he cannot
sell. His title will be inalienable,
even by himsef. This portion Of the
plan already Is In operation with
marginal lands acquired for the pur-
pose.
The first large scale coopera-
tive - Governor Tugwell prefers
the term proportional benefit
farm"-will be tried out when the
Land Authority obtains possess
sion Of O 0000-acre property at
Arecibo, as soor as the old own
er finishes harvesting the current
. cane crop.
This will be operated as an es-
tate. under an experienced manager.
CThe present manager probably will
be retained.) Instead of drawing
fixed salary, the manager will re-
ceiVe from s to Is per cent Of the
net profit. The remainder will be
distributed to all who work on the
land, according to the length of
time they are employed and their
wage scales.
NATIVE FORESIGHT
Inc South Puerto Rico Sugar
Company has offered to sell its
Guanica property, the largest on
the island, to the Land Au-
ttority. Presumably this will be
taken up as soon as money is
available and the Arecibo land
has been put under the new sys-
tenn.
A doctors thesis might give
less insight into the troubles that
the Little New Deal Is going to
face down here than Is confined
In this story told me by a lead
Ing banker In q major city.
This man has seven servants,
one Of whom, with his wife, lives
ut the bankers summer home in the
mountains. Last summer they, In
common with all Puerto Ricans,
were without rice for more than a
month. That being their basic food,
they were desperate.
Through his own channels the
banker learned that shipment
OF rice was nearing the island,
and he knew Of a reserve stock
from which, under the clrcum-
stances, he was able to buy so
pounds Of rice, for distribution
among his servants, to whom he

will Congress follow the wishes Of
employers and wealthy persons and
shift the tax burden onto workers by
giving us a sales tax? Or will they
follow labor's proposal and give us
social security, so that the money we
pay will both help the war efforts and
insure us and our families against
emergencies for the rest of our lives?
Or will they give us higher income
taxes without social Security?'
New Bill Urged
The federation says that the Treas
ury tax program was an honest effort
to meet huge war costs by taxing
those able to pay" 1t analyZeS pro
posals offered in place of the Treasury
plan and asserts they provided for tax
alton bearing most heavily on the poor,
Stating the case for higher social
security taxes. the federation insists
the present need for higher tax revenue

ray-Dingell social security. bill, which
is supported by all organized labor.
FO,IrfOid Purpose Served
The per cent social security con
tribution the bill levies from employers
and workers each will serve" the
federation continues, the four-fold
purpose of helping to finance the war
(because revenues will be invested in
war bonds), c h &c ki n% intiationary
spending, giving workers Insurance
against emergencies and preventing
huge relief rolls after the war. 1t will
raise $5.3 billion OF new money to meet
war cost and check imitation. OF this,
S3.T billion will come from workers,
and SIG billion from employers.
when the 6 per cent social security
tax is enacted Congress must of course
adjust other taxes on incomes under
$1,000 so as to permit workers to pay
the 6 per cent without being overbur-
dened. 1t is important to note that
workers will pay per cent social
security tax next year under the
present law, for their Old age and sur
vivorS insurance. For the present law
provides an increase from l to . per

pass the bill, whatever sales tax or
increased income tax is levied must be
paid by workers in addition to this ,
per cent The social security bill adds
only per cent in new taxes while a
10 per cent sales tax would increase
living costs 10 per cent
Social security, the AFL adds, will
give workers an immensely valuable
return for the 6 per cent of weekly
earnings they will invest in it. Neither
the sales tax nor an income tax will
give workers any protection in sickness
or permanent disability. or any i'm
provement in the present inadequate

ployment, old AGE and survivors, or any
help in paying for medical care and

New Farm
Committee
Is Named

The first meeting of the newly
appointed Lincoln County Farm
Security committee was held Mon
day afternoon and evening, Dec.
Is, Lowell S. Davis, FSA Supervisor
announced. Those attending were:
Edward f. Staples of Rexford, Bert
c. Roe and Burgess c. Drake of
Eureka Mr.. Davis and Miss Kath-
leen Conlon, FSA Home Manage
ment Supervisor, also attended. G.
A. Soldering of Eureka has been
appointed an alternate member of
the committee, but was unable to
attend the meeting. MIR. Staples was
elected chairman of the committee
and Mr.. Davis will serve as secre-
tary.
Primary functions Of the program
and duties of the committee were
outlined by Mr.. Davis. As members
Of the committee, the men will re-
view and approve all applications
for FSA farm credit and supervis-
DRY assistance, and aid Mr. Davis
in development Of program of ac-
tivitles to fill the needs and prob
lens Of Lincoln county.
Mr.. DaYis stated the primary OBJ
ject during the emergency will be
increasing food production 1t was
brought out that farm production
of FSA families in Montana during
1912 was increased % per cent on
milk and 258 per cent on flaxseed
above 1941 production. In compare
son with other farmers in the state,
they contributed 8.3 per cent of the
increase in chickens, 204 per cent
of the extra pork, 1914 per cent of
the total egg increase, 5 per cent of
the beef increase, 3.4 per cent Of
the flaxseed increase and 95.2 of
the increased milk production.
In Montana, FSA has made loans
since the inception of the program
to total of 10,408 farm families.
Total money advanced was S17,O40,-
819, and to date total repayments
are $7,997,481 Total interest pay
ments amounted to $1,248,136. This
is almost half of the money re-
paid and the balance, a large part
Of which is not yet due, is well Sc
cured and the interest of the Gov
eminent adequately protected.
Of the l0,408 families aided by
FSA in Montana, 3105 have repaid
their obligation in full Miss Conlon
said approximately one-fourth of
all the farm families in Montana
have received loans from the FSA.
The repayment and loan conditions
for Lincoln county are equally as
good as the state figures.
Mr.. Davis also stated that FSA
can finance farmstead water de-
velopment for increased food pro-
duction. Their office is located in
Room Is, over the Kalispell Mer-
camille Company building, in Kali
ispell.
