Issue Is Freedom

SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
orVlile L. Freeman states that there
would be chaos if the wheat referendum
fails to pass. I submit that Secretary
freeman cannot dictate to the Congress-
OF the United States. When the referen-
dunn fails, Congress can enact 1egisla-
ton as it sees fit
The Administration wheat plan for
1864 gives entirely too much power to
the Secretary of Agriculture We would
have much more control imposed and
more federal employees to administer
the program.
The main issue at stake here is free
dom of farmers to run their own busi-
ness and produce for consumers.

culture in the United States-Thomas

Can i Afford
To Vote Yes? :?

WHILE CONSIDER myself any
thing but an expert, I have tried to
keep informed on this Forthcoming ref
erendum because of the bearing it will
have on my own farming operation
There has been much said and writ
ten as to the monetary difference we
as farmers might receive for wheat
in 1864, depending on the outcome of
a Yes" or NO vote on May FL
Using the projected figures of a Yes
vote which are of course much the
higher, I wonder how many wheat
farmers have analysed what their in
come will be in 1864 compared with
what they expect for 1868 or have
ceived for past several years?
Going back to the March Is issue
of Montana Farmer-Stockman, we have
an article by John Bower titled 1864
Wheat Program-How 1T Works. Ac-
cording to his projected figures, with
a Yes vote, if you have 23-buSheI
yield and if your productivity index
is the same as this actual yield you
can then expect $35.6 so per acre for
each allotted acre you have for 1868
Using support price for 1868 which
is S1.62 for Fergus County, this same
Weld this year would return 1926 per
acre or nearly per cent more. Also,
if your actual farm yield happens to
be more than the productivity index
applicable to your individual farm, as
nearly all are in this area. plus any
acreage cut you may have over that
allotted to you in 1862, your income
loss will run that much over and above
the 5 per cent.
Does all this seem fair? Is it right
to have to take this additional cut
when the wheat farmer has been skimp-
ing by for some time on approximately
80 per cent of parity income?
I have heard the statement made In
the past ct can't afford a No vote
Please, each one of you figure how
this program fits your individual farm,
not between a yes or mo vote
but where it will put you financially
compared with past years, and then
ask yourself, ttCan / afford Yes
vote?''-Garo1d Troth, Fergus County
Montana farmer-stockman., 1963-05-15

YOUR MONEYS WORTH
InstuIIment Debt
Rising Steadily

Are we getting head over
heels in inStallment debt?
We are now at the point
where 1876 per cent of every
dollar we take home after taxes
is committed to pay install
ment debts-an all-time high
ratio and comparing with "a
per cent in l945, and II per
cent 10 years ago.
The IS per cent level has
been tagged as the magic
maximum" of after-tax dollars
which.families are able or will
ing to earmark for .installment
debt payments. For years econ
omists have been saying that
when this level is reached we
start concentrating on paying
off our bills and cutting back
on spen ding. Yet, we're now
we'll through the magic maxi
mum and still borrowing.
Installment debts in July to-
tailed almost ISL billion, up
$500 million in a month and up
SIS billion in a year. The rate of
rise in installment debts in the
past II months has dwarfed
the rate of rise in our after-taX
personal incomes.
Worry Is Mounting
Thus, the mounting worry
that we're overlooking our
selves with installment debts,
in addition to what we owe on
mortgages and other types of
loans.
The concern goes far beyond
the plight of the family caught
in a debt squeeze, for if we are
at a danger point and we start
curtailing spending, We'll put a
brake on our entire economy.
Are we then crashing the
debt barrier?
Few responsible experts will
ANSWER with an unqualified
NO." but most are not worried
if certain developments occur.
Specifically, the answer is we
are not at a danger point If
consumer incomes continue to
rise, If consumers have conf
dence in their jobs and income
prospects, if reasonable re-
straints are maintained over
on-the-cuff buying terms.
They are big ifs" but the
belief is that tax re ductto n
would resolve the first two Ifs"
on the plus side. For the tax
cut would leave extra spending
dollars in the pockets of tax
payers the nation over and the
stimulant to business would
keep personal incomes and
business profits in a rising
trend.
