It reminds us that time, this commodity

Silas Wright was great American

he avoided public office with the same

he befriended an obscure country boy,

going off to school, he gave him a
sealed envelope with the message that

Spires of the Spirit
On Taking Time

Always time comes to our hands
tied up in the shining package of a
new day. The one testing question
which determines what we are becom-
ing is: What do you do with time?
For what do you take it?
An oft-repeated rejoinder to any de-
mand for a persons attention is, II
don't have time" Actually, the one
who says that has all the time there
is. We take time in daily installments
Years, months and weeks are artificial
measurements of passing time. But
the time that is finally recorded in
years Is poured first into the separate
golden chaliceS Of days.
That which might be called the
supreme promise has to do not with
a span of years, but with a day: GAS
thy day so shall thy strength be-"
Every day with its uncertain scenes
is little life. Every night with its
blessed sleep is little death. A part
of each day is shrouded in darkness,
but it begins with the dawn. when
purple morning breaketh. when the
bird waketh and the shadows fee"
It is lovely and significant tradi-
tion that when asked what most he
missed in the celestial bliss, from which
for rebellion he had been expelled, the
Prince of Darkness replied: II miss
most the sound of the trumpets in
the morning" For any mortal to miss
those clarion notes is to block the
heaven which waits to flood any new
day of an earthly life.
In the crystal morning light we see
clearly that the one priceless treasure
that is put into our hands is time
Every new day we are offered more
time. 1t was that startling realization
which framed the ancient adage,
"Seize the day." But day the same
as today can never come again. It is
an irevocable law of life that one can
never go back. The past lives on only
in today and tomorrow.
It is Solemnly true that the time
we take today makes or mars the
future. OF course, the chance to re-
trieve the past is the futures rarest
gift. Time not only marches on, but
drives us on. wearies us, teaches us,
changes us, molds us. Life's impera-
tive summons uttered anew with every
fresh day is that we must take time

period, U. S. G. S. geologists have stated
it would be Optimistic" to anticipate
full production of the estimated 49,
000,000,0 900 barrels of oil from the
proven and potential reserves of the
So-called tidelands and the continental
shelf within the next half-century.
Out of the 15billion- barrel estimate,
12,450 100000 barrels are classified as
potential reserves" as yet untapped.
In much of this area, water-depths of
several hundred feet increase drilling
costs far above those encountered on
dry land besides presenting tremen-
dous hazard, construction-wise and
operationally.
The Library of CongreSS-U. S. G. S.
study uses the minimum oil royalty of
12l2 per cent in computing an annual
revenue of $1,744,512 from the proven
reserves (371a per cent of the total
royalties would be set aside for the
adjacent States under the bill which,
through the Hill amendment, would
make available the remaining 6712 per
cent for an eventual Federal aid-to-
education program).
Using the maximum revenue (25 per
cent? provided in the bill, we would
have $3.489 ,024-still less than IL pei
cent of the amount expended annually
for the United States public schools
during the biennium 1949-50 Qatest
period for which figures are available)
Proponents of the Hill proposal are
unwilling to accept these figures. They
further argue that additional revenues
can be expected from rentals and bo-
muses. on the submerged oil properties.
However, according to U. S. G. S. geol-
ogists, the latter revenues would
amount only to from one-quarter to
one-half the revenues from the oil
royalties.
A larger figure. of course. is given for
the estimated royalties from po-
tential reserves but, as the name i'm
plies, these oil resources remain to be
discovered and developed. The survey
cites $55, ,490,037 year for the aid-to-
education program-aSSuming develop
ment of the entire area in the next
half-century.
This is only sketchy rundown of
the figures involved, but perhaps it will
inspire MesSrs. Stokes and Mellett to
do little research on matter which
they purport to understand but OBJ
viously have not explored.

Lent reminds us that just as in the
case of those ordinary people of the
New Testament, we, too, are called to
be saints. But sanity halo is not a
luminous circle around the head. It
is golden ring of unfailing love around

sanctimonious; it is to be wholly dedi-
Gated to the Master, whose holiness was

A New Kind of Cooperation

Montana is vitality concerned because we
have large sheep industry at stake. We
have an outstanding animal research labora-
tory, and we are fortunate in having person
mel there considered to be among the top
sheep disease specialists in the world. But
funds to finance full-fledged study of this
costly disease are not readily available.
Last fall the National Woolgrowers As
ISOLATION suggested that states having
range sheep industry cooperate in pooling
their money and other resources in order
to make adequate research possible. So far
this plan has not gone much farther than
the proposal stage but there are high hopes
it will eventually attract the cooperation
necessary.

by the Department of Agriculture and would
be announced at the beginning of each mar
ket year. 1t would be fixed amount per
unit of product sold and would remain a
fixed amount until officially changed 1t
could be changed as often as necessary
thereafter. 1t would tend to float up and
down with changing market prices.
In order to implement this plan two certi-
ficates attached to each other would be
issued by local agents Of the government
(probably the local bank) to the first buyer
of the farm product. One would be a parity
supporting certificate" which would consti-
tute a license to handle the products in the
domestic market. This certificate would
have face value equal to the officially de-
clared parity differential for the entire pur-
chase made from each farmer. The first
buyer would pay the full declared differen-
tial for these parity supporting certificates
covering all units of product bought from
the farmer and would sell them with the
product at full face value when he sold to
the professor.
The second certificate would be the
"parity payment certificate" which would
serve as means of conveying to the farmer
his parity payment This parity payment
certificate would be redeemable at full face
value at once and any time before its ex-
piration date. 1t would be fully negotiable
and could be used for any purpose for which
the farmer might use currency. 1t would
finally be redeemable by the government
from funds made available from the pur
chase of the original parity supporting certi
ficate by the first buyer of the product.
In order to estimate the parity differen
tial at the beginning of each marketing yeal
the government would have to estimate fol-
each parity-benefitted product the tota
production, total domestic requirements anc
the export surplus; and to declare the esti
mated percentage to be used domestically
and the percentage to be exported.
While just one of numerous two-prict
plans that have been suggested, this certifi
cate plan has been attracting some influen
tial support including that of the Nationa
Grange. We may hear more about it as con
sideration is given to ways and means O

Editorials

"A GRICULTURAL officials of the new adj
~ ministration at Washington are known
to favor more self-supporting farm pro-
grams with less government control. 1t
seems likely therefore that increasing atten-
ton will be paid to the possibility of devel-
oping practical two-price systems for some
of the major agricultural commodities
Such proposals are not new. They have
been made from time to time for many
years. But they have not gone beyond the
proposal stage because many farm organiza-
ton leaders and others who have considered
the problem have felt that they would be
very difficult to administer.
The operation of the international wheat
agreement during the past few years, how
ever, has demonstrated that administrative
difficulties might not be as serious as some
have believed The wheat agreement has
actually functioned as a two-price plan,
Wheat has been sold on the export market
at prices well under those prevailing on the
supported domestic market. The difference
between the export price and the domestic
price has been made up from the federal
treasury. Since 1949 the subsidy thus paid
has averaged about so cents bushel. Total
cost to the government during the past four
years has been little less than $500 900.
One kind of two-price plan that is being
suggested is the so-called certificate plan.
This is designed to let the whole crop move
into the normal channels of trade with a
minimum of administrative red tape. 1t
would leave the farmer free to produce &C
cording to his own judgment. There would
be no restrictions as to historical base
The portion of the crop which is do
mestically consumed would bring parity
support price, and the surplus would be
sold for export, or for other purposes, at
whatever price it would bring.
The producer would sell all of his crop
on free market at free market prices with
out interference with private trade chan
nels. At the time of sale he would be paid
the free market price plus the parity diff
ferential," between the free market price
and parity on the domestically consumed
portion. This differential would be paid in
the form of parity payment certificate
which would be Immediately redeemable al
full face value
This parity payment would be estimated

Predictions of economists that our in

agricultural problem by 1875 should not OBJ
scure the fact that there may be some seri-

respect to certain commodities. Such head
ache is in sight for wheat during the next
few years unless we find some way to
maintain large export outlets for this grain.
