BY FRANCIS P. DOUGLAS


NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-The Ma
tional Association of Manufac-
turers has laid down a two.
pronged program for the coming
year-tax reductions and the
correction of labor abuses"
/ In taxes, the aim is not just
reductions. The NAM program
Is a five-year plan to bring the
Individual and corporate tax
rates down to a maximum Of IS
per cent. The personal income
tax rate on the top bracket is
now 81 per cent: the corporate
tax rate is So per cent.
The program was laid before
the MANS 60th annual conven-
ton yesterday. The industrialists
also heard top-flight economists
predict that 1856 would be a
good year for business and in
dustry. One economist. however,
warned of the possibility Of a
"leveling out" and readjustment
In the second half of the year.
The organizations tax pro-
gram was outlined by William
j. Grede of Milwaukee, former
NAM president and now chair
man of the organizations Tax
Committee.
Penalty" on Wealth
The present tax system" he
said. penalties all but the lowest
income groups financially, but It
blocks economic growth for all"
The harder a person works and
the more he earns. the greater
the tax penalty, Mr.. Grede said.
He maintained that the NAM
plan could be accomplished with
out loss of revenue to the Gov
eminent and without adding to
the tax burden of any individual
or group. The direct loss in
revenue. he said, would be a
bookkeeping figure of about So
billion annually. But he con-
tended that because of the in
creased capital investment re-
sulting, providing jobs. goods
and incomes. the actual tax
revenues would be maintained
at current levels
This tax program is realistic
both economically and politically
he asserted.
Charges Socialism
Mr.. Grede attacked the grad.
uated income tax as a tool oil
MARKHAM socialism. He said Karl
Marx placed it high on his pro-
gram for achieving the Commu-
mist revolution.
The tax program was also
stressed by Kenneth r. Miller
NAM managing director, who, in
addition, advanced the second
objective - correction of labor
abuses.
He listed these as the abuses
against which the manufacturers
organization will lead the fight:
Special privileges" denied other
segments of the population and
which encourage irresponsibilitS
in union leaders. Conditions
which permit compulsory union
ism, coercion by violence, feath-
EMBEDDING and other restrictive
practices which "senselessly raise
production costs" and political
activities by unions.
Four economists took part in q

warned against a development

he could not help but feel that

He also warned of the possibility
of a leveling of in the second

Walter Cronkite of the Column

mote the panel discussion as q
match between econo-
mists dedicated to the theory
that purchasing power is the
basis for prosperity, and those
who believe that spending for
investment, creating additional
jobs, is the basis. He identified

Corn Silage, Hay and Barley
Put Fast Gain on Steers

MOST MONTANA cattle are sold in
the fall and for years the Cronk broth
erS, Roger and John, of Blaine County
have followed the standard practice.
1t was the natural thing to do. Theirs
is a sizable range operation. They have
plenty OF summer range land in the
hills, good winter pasture in the valley
and irrigated alfalfa meadows for win
ter feed. 1t was sound procedure to
market their rangeland grass through
their steers and dry cows each fall,
feed their hay to cows for the calf
crop the next spring.
But since most cattle are marketed in
the fall it is also usually true that prices
are lowest then. Just look at the
statistics showed that during the last
five years so per cent of Montana cat
tie were marketed in September, Octo-
Der and November and the same statis-
tics showed that those were the months
when prices were lowest for the same
five years.
What's more, the Cronks found they
were producing more feed. There was
much more barley and plenty of good al
falfa hay And this year for the first
time, they had about 200 tons of corn
1O-April 7, 1855

silage put up from Is acres of irrigated
corn.
Under the circumstances it seemed
only logical to hold some of those
steers, put some feed into them and sell
them later when the price was likely to
be higher.
So last fall they did both-they
shipped some of their steers and held
some on feed for later market. Of
course, they have good cattle, and there
was strengthening of prices last fall.
Their steers brought top prices at a
midwestern market The same price in
fact that the steers they held brought
the first of March this spring. But the
price this spring was after 2O-mile
haul with no shrink.
Here's what happened to the steers
they held. There were 80 head of long
yearlings The fall, you'll remember,
was long and open, so the steers weren't
put into the lot until late in November.
Until that time they ran on the good
feed in the valley pastures.
Once in the lot they were worked up
to full feed of a mixture of 20 rolled
barley and 1s oats. This was fed with

CAPITAL INVESTMENT per farm
worker averages $25. 900, the highest of
all major industries. Through this in
vestment the modern farmer achieves
80 per cent more production per man
and has increased total production 40
per cent over that of 1885,
Reviewing such developments, Dean
NJ. NJ Kelso of the Montana State Col
lege agriculture division keynoted the
program of the first annual Farm and
Ranch Forum held at Great Falls
March % and "a.
The weather, setting new low tenn
perature records for the season, almost
stole the show, but a fair sized crowd
of hardy and interested farmers and
ranchers from a wide area around
Great Falls found the two-day event
well worth Drawing the storm to attend.
The forum was sponsored by the Great
Falls Chamber of Commerce and ar
ranged by its Agriculture and Live
stock Committee, with C. p. Moore

Theme of the event was 'Can
Agriculture Adjust to the Cost-Price
Squeeze?"
Background for this theme was pre-
scented in addresses by corps of ma

appropriations for research and it
should encourage exports of farm COM
modities.
Hood especially urged federal pro
gram to encourage retirement of sur

land BANK for future need
Herb Rolph, vice president, National
Farmers Union, Portland, Ore,
stressed the need for some assurance of
price levels for farm commodities, and
Frank L. Parsons, director of research,
Federal Reserve Bank, Minneapolis,
emphasized the need for maintaining a
condition of full employment in the
nation.
Divergent Views
Parsons, who was also a speaker on
the Thursday morning session, pre-
Sented the divergent views of the farm
program held by the farmer, the house
wife and the businessman. These views
must be faced squarely, he said, in
working out fair and effective pro-
gram for the farmer He said he
favored 100 per cent of parity if it
didn't result in overproduction and con-
ceded that the farmer must not again
be left to the mercy of free market.
Also on the Thursday morning pro-
gram was George Wilkens, secretary
of the Minneapolis Grain Exchange. He
discussed Farm Consumer Spreads
Costs of processing and packaging
farm products were among the main
factors he listed.
More Livestock Feeding
Montana has the livestock and it has
the feed. That these basic products
should be combined in more feeding
operations in the state was the theme
developed in the panel discussion at
the concluding session Friday after
noon. Members of the panel were War
