CONGRESS is about to grapple with the
difficult problem of developing a work
able plan that will enable the American
people to live with the agricultural abund-
ance that is being provided by the farmers
and stockgrowers of the country. And to
live with it in such a way that the people
who are producing that abundance will not
be penalized for making this tremendous
contribution to the national welfare.
In order to maintain farm income at
equitable levels the long-range support price
program enacted last year is going to be
modified. Some congressman want prices
supported at not less than 80 percent of
parity.
Others contend that the law should be
left as it is now with a flexible program
providing for supports ranging from go to
80 percent, depending upon the available
supply of each commodity.
Still others want some f~lexibility in the
program but feel that the 60 percent mini
mum is entirely too low.
Congressional battles of the kind now
shaping up on the farm price question in
evitably result in compromise legislation.
1t appears likely that some degree of flex-
Utility will be retained in the support plan

Under the plan an agent pulls a certain
percentage of returns at random from those
received by the district office. Those par
ticular taxpayers are then asked to explain
in detail just how they arrived at their
tax totals.
Bureau officials believe taxpayers gen.
orally will be more careful in preparing
their returns if they know that they may

Straws in the Wind

Any system of price support will fail In
the long run unless farmers keep produc-
ton in line with effective demand, in the
opinion of Secretary of Agriculture Bran
man,. He believes support price program
must be accompanied by a strong system
of storage, high exports, methods of main
tanning high domestic consumption and
troll when supplies become dangerously
large.
Of Montana's 1947 farm income. wheat
was credited with 30 percent, barley 3 per-
cent, flax and oats l percent each and other
crops II percent. Beef cattle accounted for
20 percent, sheep and dairy cattle 5 per-
cent each, hogs 3 percent, poultry 2 per-
cent and other livestock 3 percent. All
crops were responsible for SO percent of
the income and livestock AZ percent.
If sugar prices do not respond sufficient
ly to the l949 consumptive estimate set by
the secretary of agriculture, in accordance
with the provisions of the sugar act, to
assure profitable prices for domestic sugar
beets and cane, producers and professors
organizations will make a strong effort to
secure legislation providing for the main
tenance of parity prices.
Farm products used by the baking in
dustry in 1913 had an estimated value of
1910, 0 $1,000, including flour, $431, 238, 900;
shortening, $154, SAT, 900; sugar, Silt, 1916, 900;
eggs, $751; 5000; milk, $55, $4,000, and
fruits, $43, 942, 900.
What changes would you make in your
farming program if you were called upon
to do your share in reducing grain produc-
ton in order to maintain prices at a high
percentage-of-parity level?

If you want to keep your farm in the fam
lily better sell it to the son who is going to
operate it before you retire or die, so the
other children won't get to fighting over it.
Flaxseed loans will be on the basis of
80 percent of parity this year. This will
amount to about 81 a bushel compared with
Sc last year.
There is going TO be a big demand for
chicks next spring. Better place your order
early.

be called upon periodically and asked to
substantiate their figures even though
there may be nothing obviously out of
order on their reports.
Of course, if the regular once-over u
return always receives at the revenue Of
flee reveals anything that looks suspicious
you will probably hear from the tax agent
anyway.

Sampling the Income Tax Returns

IF AN agent of the bureau of internal
4 revenue contacts you and asks some
doesn't necessarily mean that he suspects
you of trying to beat the government. 1t
may mean only that your number hap
pened to come up in the course of a new
sampling procedure that has been adopted
by the revenue department.

HE is RISEN

Now upon the first day of the week. very early in the
morning they the sepulchre bringing the spices
which they had prepared and certain others with them
And they found the stone rolled-away from the
pulchre
And they entered in, and found not the body of
the Lord Jesus
And it to pass they were much perpexed
thereabout behold two men stood by them in shining
garments:
And they afraid, and bowed down their
faces to the EARTH they said unto them Why seek the
living among the dead?
He is not here but is risen: remember how he spake
unto you when he yet in Galee.
Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the
hands of sinful men, and be crucfed and the third day
rise again.
And they remembered his words
And returned from the sepuchre, and told all these
things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
10 1t was Mary Magdalene, and joanna and Mary
the mother of James, and other that were with
them, which told these things unto the apostles.
IL And their words seemed to them idle tales and
they believed them not.
IL Then arose Peter and unto the sepuchre: and
STOPPING down. he behed the linen clothes laid by them
selves, and departed wondering in himself at that which
was come to pass

After many requests the city manager Monday let

Monday but did not play because of technicalty.
Clyde Gambler starter, told them they could play by

eacn golfer must have his set of clubs.
That was quite satisfactory On Wednesday party of
1e four men and went to the golf and
played more than nine holes.
This action has created what is being termed prob
lem and according to H. O. Lasseter member of the
Miami golf tournament and golf advisory commit
tee
This isn't any problem for the city of Miami alone to
solve 1t something that is countrywide and should be
solved on countrywide basis The other municipalities
are just as much involved as Miami"
1t is reported that the City Commission will provide
FUNDS TO complete nine-hole golf course LeJeune
road and that special days will be set aside for Negroes
use the course
what seems to be better suggestion comes from Mr.
Lasseter VINO says Build and give Negroes ex-
elusive use and management
Ii negroes are entitled to the course, and they
are no tricks of kind especially by officials must be
used to prevent them doing so.
t mas also been said that the only way to prevent
negroes from using the for the city lease the

Even the thought of such thing is bad and we
would nate to anticipate commissioners STOPPING to
such level.

them are Attorneys G. E. Graves and ]. D. Johnson

the many factors to be considered.
Now the result of the Committee
studies are becoming evident. Just
in the last week the House Com
mittees have reported out numer-
Gus bills which are of great interest
day, the House Appropriations
Committee authorized the construc-
ton of the veterans hospital which
President Truman had deleted in his
budget last January. The proposed
veterans hospitals in Tallahassee and
Gainesville are two of those effected
by the Presidents recommendation
The Florida Congressional delegation
struction of these hospitals as the
statistics made available to us by
the Veterans Administration had
convinced us there was need in
Florida for these hospitals.
Last week the House Judiciary
Committee favorably reported a bill
to amend the Constitution so as to
change the present electoral sys-
tenn of electing the president and
vice president Of the United States.
This is a change have been work
ing for and 1 had even introduced
legislation similar to that which has
been endorsed by the Committee.
There are still many obstacles to
| overcome before this legislation is
approved by the full membership of
the House and the Senate.
Last January / introduced a bill tn
create an additional federal judge
ship in the State of Florida. 1t is
anticipated that by the time this
column Is printed, the House Judici.
airy Committee will have favorabIy
acted on a bill authorizing this add.
tional judgeship in Florida. | am con.
fident that the addition of an addi-
tional judge will do much to relieve
the present congestion of litigation
in our federal courts and thereby
assist in bringing about more OK
pedltlous and efficient judicial con.
sideration.
These are but few of the many
bills being reported out Of each dav
by House Committees. From now ca
until the end of the present session
the newspapers will carry stories as
10 how these bills, as they reach the
Floor, are acted upon by the full
membership of the House.

OUR INDEPENDENT PRESS

The word independent evidently has two meanings Web
ster's dictionary says it means, not subject to bias " IN
fuence.' The general press must think 1t means something
else. Judging BY two recent incidents.
Last month, while delegates to the Washington federauon
Of labor convention were considering the Columbia Valley
Administration proposal, newspapers in that state iog horned
State AFL Split Over eva. Dissension Flares Amid Labor
Ranks on eva.
Two days later, the Federation approved unanimously plans
for CVA This reaffirmed a stand II has taken ever since
1916.
What happenedp In the largest paper in the state, the
Seattle Post lnteHigencer (Hearst). news OF the federation
support Of the project was buried in one paragraph at the
end of a long story on an inside page.
Last week, the Associated Press reported House debate on
minimum wage legislation in this manner:
House members reported labor unions active in drumming
m SUPPORT for the compromise. but said labor representatives
would not state their support of the measure in writing.
The town is jumping with lobbyists on chs thing, said one
Labor Committee Democrat.
The AP, which spends good money in trade journals to
thump itself on its chest while Boosting Of its impartiaity,
neglected to quote anyone to the effect that the town-mean-
ing Washington of course-also is jumping with high-priced lob
twists for sweatshops and coolie wages
Many Of the lobby boys would like to see the United States
a rate similar to the one prevalent in South America, where
and @ cents an hour is the prevailing wage in most in
dushies.
Perhaps the answer lies in the fact that the Ar is owned
by newspaper publishers whose economic and social sym
pathies generally lie somewhere to the right OF William Mckn-
ley and Mark Hanna.
So it goes But let's not be too harsh with the Seattle Post-
