Using dOcumented material pre-
pared and presented by Rep. Daniel
Reed, New York Republican mem
Der of the House for more than 80
years, and House Report No. 1915,
the NTEA is exposed, to quote Cong.
Reed as "an INSCRIPTIONS racket"
Highlights from the first short
chapter of Racket On Main Street"
will serve to point up it's timeliness
and its value in exposing the infamy
of the NTEA in the continuing fight
of farm lco-ops for survival in face
of the grain trade-power trust* as
saults through their propaganda
front, the National Tax Equality AS
ISOLATION.
"Millions of dollars have been col
lected on Main Street by an organi-
zation called the National Tax Equal
ity Association. Many businessmen
have been contributing on the claim
that the NTEA represents small bust
ness. The falsity of that claim has
been exposed in congress, and the
NTEA has been described as an ''un-
scrupulous racket.
''The most recent expose of the
NTEA was by Cong. Daniel Reed of
New York before the House of Rep
resentatives on March 20, 1851.
"The following is from a speech
made by Cong. Reed. . shortly af-
ter the House Ways and Means COM
mittee hearings Gin March this year,. |
"MR. REED: i. An unscrupu-
lous racket, known as the National
Tax Equality Association, has been
in operation for some time, directing
it's vicious propaganda against the
farm co-operatives.
"'To get contributions from bust

ion has propagandized businessmen
with false statements to the effect
hat if farm co-operatives were taxed
and not exempted, the revenue to the
government would amount annually

absolutely false and nothing more

Although the President cited no
definite figure, BUSINESS WEEK
reports that a doubling of military
appropriations is in prospect. 1t
comments:
"Look for a big jump in mill
tary appropriations in fiscal 1858.
The SCI billion planned for the
year, starting this July l, is much
tighter than the military planners
wanted. They won't try to pry the
lid off this year-short of general
war. But they've already got
their sights set on the next one.
You hear the figure of $3.50 bill
lion for 1853" MAY &c, 1850.
With national income running at
the rate of $240 billion year, any
attempt to siphon off as much as
S120 billion for military use is act
ually a plan for turning the whole
nation, economically and politically,
into a Military State.
PRODUCTION COSTS RISE
AS military expenditures increase,
the pressure upon the farmers, par
ticularly the smaller ones whose
costs are the highest, has been mount
ing. In it's FARM COST SITUA-
TION, the us. Department of Ag-
riculture recently reported:
Farmers production expenses
in 1851 are expected to be 10 to
Is per cent higher than in 1850
when they reached the highest lev
ell on record"
The USDA index of prices paid
by the farmers, which includes both
living and production costs, had al
ready climbed to 282 by the middle
of May 1851 as compared with 254 |
in May 1850 This is an increase of
II per cent.
Although the farm cost index
dropped one point between mid
April and mid-May, the first decline
in 16 months, this was, as the USDA
explains, educ to reduced prices for
feeder cattle and some seeds" Thus,
the slight dip in the cost index is
really result of the drop in prices
paid to other farmers, but the prices
of non-farm items have continued up
