CAUSE FOR INFLATION W e h e a r a g re a t deal abou t the ijrice of fa rm products and a re frequen tly to ld th a t any rise in prices would be in ­ fla tionary . Y e t anyone who w ill compare th e price which th e fa rm e r gets fo r his produce w ith -the p rice which th e u l­ tim a te consumer pays must see -that it is something o the r th an th e price th e fa rm e r gets t h a t is rea lly inflationary. The fa rm e rs principal difficulty now has to do with labor, Too many fa rm boys have been ^drafted into th e Army, and too many fa rm workers have been a ttra c ted to th e factories be­ cause of th e tremendously high wages. , . * . There h a s been a ceiling on farm prices to h a lt inflation bu t th e re has been no clamping down on wage ra te s fo r the .same purpose. This is not an a rgum en t fo r lower wages. Every American wants our. workers to be well pa id and to enjoy th a t s tan d a rd of living" which has always been the highest in th e world. . But we a re now living in a w ar economy. I t is un fa ir to clamp down on fa rm prices w ith th e excuse th a t h ighe r prices would be inflationary and a t th e same time g ran t wage in­ creases in th e factories and mills and mines of the , country. Sooner or la te r we are going to come up against a stone wall of h a rd economic necessity. I f ,we encounter inflation it will no t be due to the fa c t th e fa rm e r is ge tting too b ig a price, but / fo r th e reason th a t other costs have no been controlled in line w ith th e price o f ,produce received by th e farm er. —South Charleston Sentinel THE ADMINISTRATION AND TAXES Last year Mr. Roosevelt asked Congress fo r an ad ditional sum in taxes of nine billion dollars. This yea r he asked fo r ano ther 16 billions. But in ne ither case did he sug­ gest any"method of raising such stupendous amounts. * During a ll th e hearings about th e Rum! plan, and various substitutes arid now w ith th e whole problem thrown open to debate, he has no t made a single recommendation to c lear th e tang led sit­ uation.. Why is th is? H ere to fo re he has been all too ready to m ake recommendations and fram e legislation, th rusting meas­ ures on Congress and demanding passage with scarcely any opportun ity fo r deliberation. Now h e seems indisposed to * o ffer any advice, and can only criticize the proposals th a t a re be ing m ade in th e House and Senate. i P e rhap s th e re has never been a time when discussion o: tax a tion has, been so frau g h t w ith uncertainty, confusion, anc lack of c lea r perception. The problem so f a r has been most inadequa te ly handled. The rep o rt of the Ways arid Means Committee runs directly counter to th e 'expressions of opinion which have come from th e country.. T h e Republican min ority is almost a unit In-advocating some plan of cu rren t col- lectiori o f taxes closely resembling the scheme suggested by • Mr. Ruml and a number of Democrats a re fo r it. The admin istra tion leaders are a ttemp ting to de fea t such a program . The ta x situation has become.so badly muddled th a t a vas number of people came up to th e deadline fo r incojne tax re ­ tu rn s who were wholly unable .to find out w h a t to do. De­ fa u lts will be very numerous. Iri Cleveland th e re was a ser­ ious revo lt among working men, .who refused to pay the taxes Collection will be difficult in a multitude of instances. N e ither Mr. Roosevelt no r th e secre tary of th e treasury has 'fu rn ished any formula o r given any constructive advice No sound and clear-cut program has been offered. The whole m a tte r must be th reshed ou t on the floor, and it will require . a long debate. , ’ Y e t th e fiscal problems of th e country deserve from the adm inistration as much a tten tion as do th e purely m ilitary arit n ava l problems. Nationl solvency is involved. Government c red it and th e effective financ ing of th e w a r a re concerned. While Mr, Roosevelt fa iled to give Congress any advice on methods Of taxation , he dumped into its lap the o ther day, with h is enthusiastic approval, a 500,000->word rep o rt of th e Na tional Resources P lann ing Board which calls fo r th e establish m en t of a socialistic republic, and th e p a te rn a l care of every American by the government from th e crad le to the grave. • —Greene County Jou rna l FOOD FOR SOLDIERS i Washington Columist Ray Tucker, writes th a t senatorial investigators soon are to go ab road to probe repo rts th a t p roper food is no t reach ing ou r figh ting men a t the f ro n t line despite sacrifices and ration ing a t home. * H e charges th a t in North A frica our boys still subsist on bully beef, Vienna sausages and o the r canned meats and get almost no eggs, milk, coffee o r canned goods. “ On Guada- canal,“ -he says,“ th e ir best meals consist of cap tured Japanese rations*1’ He quotes Maj. Gen. V andeg rift as saying on a re c en t Visit to Washington t h a t “if anyone ever gives me a piece o f canned m ea t again, I ’ll th row i t in his face .'’- If th e tru th of these charges should be proven, ano ther phase will have been added to thb question often heard these days—“where’s a ll th e food going.” Washington h a s en­ deavored, by citing figures and jie rcen tage s, to prove th a t lend- lease shipments to Britian and Russia a re relatively modest stacked up against th e nation’s to ta l food production. Much is m ade Of th e tremendous food supplies requ ired by th e mil­ ita ry establishments in this country, b u t sca ttered complaints continue to reach the home folks from boys in camps here in th e United S ta te th a t the fod lias de teriora ted in qua lity and varie ty .

Eyen the drinkeia are sore about the government not releasing more liquor to «tate stores where rationing j* frertain very soon. The very day Roosevelt placed a | veto on the Bankhead farm parity law charring that it would plungS the nation into dire inflation and upset the war program and the farm pro­ gram (to feed the cities a t the ex­ pense of the American farmer) to hold the organized labor vote, Messrs, Green And Murray, came out in press dispatches and demanded the drop­ ping of the “Little Steel formula^. When the farmer is hog tied then the labor leaders will get wage increases, despite what New Dealers bay now or in the future, .The New Deal has always considered having purchased the farm vote by AAA payments and has expected the county committee to deliver fanners “on call”. When the nine coffee countries in .South America paid Mrs. Roosevelt $1,5.00 a week to boost the sale of coffee, that would not be inflation. If the sum should find its way into a farm­ er’s pocket that is inflation. Labor for care of city as well as rural cemeteries is uncertain this summer. Many cemeteries have no help in sight. One Dayton cemetery has 76 head of sheep to turn in and do the mowing in place of lawn mow­ ers. Others will appeal to lot owners to keep their own lot** mowed this summer due to labor shortages. The Dayton suggestion is the most plaus­ ible. I t may be the answer to the local situation. Lot owners cannot hope for upkeep as they have found it in the past.. We were in a neigh­ boring city cemetery some dayB ago and of six employes the youngest wag 65 years old. I t takes two of that age to do the work of one. Think of mowing a cemetery of 225-acres by using men above 65 years of age. The .Truman .Committee has evi­ dently upset all' New Deal plans to decorate Mayor LaGuardia of New York with a high army commission. It is hinted the Mayor may yet be made “High Commissioner” over all Italian possessions in Africa as soon as Hitler is driven out. J f Hitler shoqld hold that country—that would be dictatorship.^ If Roosevelt and Churchill name the Mayor as “High Commissioner," well that ’ “Dem­ ocracy”. Jim Farley is driving the “Little Flower? out of New York pol itics. The labor issue is a burning ques­ tion a t the White House. Green and Murray want all farm and retail prices frozen. They are not willing to trust Roosevelt's latest appointee, Chester C.' Davis, who is to unhorse Claude Wickard, the window dressing ag secretary for the Communists. Labor wants their, interests placed under Jimmy Burns, who must take orders from Roosevelt. The Sunday night Forum gave labor a chance to urge tight lines on all farmers and argued for organized farm labor. Some of these days you will have to get your permit through Joe Mason. One more term for Roosevelt or under Hen Wallace and every farm in the II. S. w ill' b e ' directed by the New Deal organized labor. ^ While food is an issue in this Coun­ try there must be something wrong “In •Denmark”- Read the reprint of the Columbus Dispatch editorial on this page about proper food not reaching American soldiers in North Africa. There is to be a senatorial investigation. Someone should look into .the story of soldiers Bick on New Deal dehydrated hash while our good meat goes to -England where the ,gov­ ernment sells our meat under lease lend to the English a t 24c a pound and sticks the money into the Bank of England. We go under rationing and buy bonds to pay for the free meat given to England. 'The nation going broke will help hold down in flation. I t will also keep ths unborn grand-children under a yoke of debt' for centuries tq come*. Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln would consider that a rather raw deal. SPECIAL—A Fountain AveJ meat dealer in Springfield had .the follow­ ing special painted in large display on his window last Saturday: SPECIAL—10 pound box t of Chitterlings $1.39. This is the tech­ nical name for plain old fashioned hog guts. I t takes four ^points to get a pound of “Chitterlings” Want a Windmill Motor?—James .Hamer, well known Xenia township farmer, tells us an interesting AAA story. He needed a new wind mill motor. Of course it "Was necessary to have a priority. The motor was available and he calls on David Brad- fule of the AAA for a priority. Mr. Bradfute asked Jim if he would agree to loqn it to any of his neighbors if they needed such a motor (weight j about 250 pounds) and he said “Yes” I “If they are fool enough to climb a 30 foot toWer to take it down they must put it back”. He has the motor n position and Under the New Deal terms he must loan it to any of his neighbors who needs one. Silly, did you say? The Christian Science Monitor car vies a Washington .dispatch stating beer is to be reduced for the reason 475 breweries are running full blast and using up valuable materials vi­ tally needed by the war emergency Large tonages of malt that should go for industrial alcohol besides thou­ sands of bushels of corn and other grains needed for food supply are used every day. The dispatch points out that distilleries have been con­ verted into alcohol plants*and brew­ eries should also be. used fo r that purpose, By the change tires, trucks, refrigerator cars and man-power could be diverted to other uses, Only one pint a month for consum­ ers since the Ohio legislature has passed legislation providing for the rationing of liquor due to the short­ age with distilleries only putting out a certain per cent each month. (Long lines wait for the opening of, state stores to make purchases. Boot-leg gets have been having a harvest even in this county. I t is claimed many peddle drinks from the hip at 75c a drink or around $9 a guart. If ra­ tioning is enforced all must register to get a card that "will entitle the holder to one pint or quart a day, week or month, depending on the sup­ ply, None will be sold only to those registered.' Kentucky produces more hard liquor than any other state yet the retail supply there is running low. All central states have' the. same report. With high wages and sal­ aries, purchasing power is more than double what it was two years ago. - A Democratic member of the leg­ islature from Holmes county strongly objected to rationing, liquor and was called down by a Republican col­ league who pointed out that his Ad­ ministration in Washington was ra­ tioning everything from “Breakfast to Hell’ . ’ * Washington Letter (Continued from first cage) sion for regimentation and no talent for doing the same. -“A statistician is a man who draws a mathematically straight line, from an unwarranted Assumption to a fore­ gone conclusion. “A professor is a man whose job it is to tell students how to solve the problems of life which he himself has tried to avoid by becoming a pro­ fessor. “A consultant is a man who knows less'ajiout your business than you do and gets paid for telling you how $q run it than you could possibly mAke out of it even if you ran it right in­ stead of the wAy he told you.
