The town is overworked for political as well as for blinding the public where millions of unnecessary spending is taking place, which Is Adding to our national debt. Inflation is nothing new in the economic world. W e had it during and following the last war. It stuck its head up follow­ ing the aivil war, France had it with bonds and Germany had it in marks. Unusual spending for any purpose leads to some form of inflation, higher values when, commodities get scarce. Controlled inflation is an experiment, N g nation has ever yet attempted it on the scale adopted in this country. How it works depends to some degree on how fa r each individual regu­ lates his spending. Vre are told farmers brought inflation on themselves following the flrsfc W orld W a r because they pur­ chased everything in sight and also plunged into.debt. A large per cent of fanners aided in inflation just as did thousands of businessmen and even day laborers who contracted debts be­ yond their ability to pay. But you do not hear any credit be­ ing given the farmer who; did not go on the wild spending spree., Just so with other classes of dur citizens. Those that saved from the war profit twenty-five years ago were able to weather the. financial crash:— something that follows every w a r and something that is certain when the inflation balloon bursts. ■ Labor that is highly paid today that spends the entire weekly salary before a second pay-day will face the same fate as difl his brothers after the conflict when the allies won over Germany. Those who lay away in bonds and stamps today, will only be protecting themselves fo r the “rainy day of the future,” Economically speaking we cannot have economic sunshine day in and day out. Your government cannot do everything for you for the principle of government is that you are expected to support the government. The government cannot control' inflation and at the same time spend on nonessentials any more than can the individual who spends his all. The stability of hny government is the thrift that is practiced, by its people. The war debt everyone recognizes. The greater the extent of the war the greater the necessity for war expenditures but that is not license, for throwing money away for paying for service or materials un­ less the government gets value received. No form of controlled inflation for the public w ill bring the desired result if there is mot a string to control government spending. The huge war profits being exposed prove careless spending which in turn leads the public to have little faith in controlled inflation. The strength of the government is the strength of its , citizens and the latter cannot do anything more worthwhile fo r himself than having as great a share of government bonds ■as possible. The success o f the present w ar depends on the support each individual gives'the government financially. The boys from every community in the land must be fed and clothed and provided with the equipment to insure victory whether it is today or a year from today. v .... — ' Buy Defense Stamps and Bonds Today ■ ■’■...... ■*■■ THE FARMER MUST STAND FOR HIS RIGHTS The Controversy in and out of congress over controlled farm, prices for farm products continues. It continues daily through the city, daily press that seems to be determined to make the producer.of farm products a peasant and picture him as about the only individual, that is not patriotic and willing to make the sacrifice. . W e read about controlled prices of goods from the manu­ facturer to the wholesaler, the latter h ir in g the same fo r the retailer and so on to the consumer. However the margin of profit for each has been taken into consideration, each know­ ing What he is to receive Over a period of time without profo- able loss; „. A fixed price on farm products means the*farmer is hedged between the government fixed price, the cost of various ma­ terials, equipment and labor, and the uncertainty o f a crop due to weather conditions. Under the present plan the fanner has no guarantee of a profit or even a product of any quantity to sell in any market. Labor that produces all the farmer must purchse is to be unrestricted or fixed at a much higher level. ILthe farmer is hot to have his share of the sq-called war profits and a little extra for his investment and personal effort in plant-, ing crops that might not even bring him his original' cost, fie is serving the nation as a greater patriot than any other class, other than the boys that enter the service whether at home or on foreign shores. „ The farm bloc in congress is perfectly justified in standing for farm interests and fo r 110 parity prices as long as other interests have already been cared for. The average farm prices have increased 24 per cent while organized labor has realized ah increase of 4§ per cent and asking for more. I f tha costof living into be kept in reasonable bounds there must be more equality between those that take the profits of either war material or everyday commodities. The city press in urg­ ing fixed farm prices is but tieing the hands o f one of the larg­ est purchasing blocks in the nation. Its effect will later be felt by Sid local merchant, the wholesaler, the manufacturer and then labor out of employment, I f someone has a plan to guar­ antee the farmer his profit through certain crops and against loss by weather conditions he will be found around any table ready to Agree to any fa ir fixed prioe. ’ . ) 1 r„ if r i, in.i.»i„Buy DtftAM Stamps and Bonds Today»»»"" ... ....
