grower a fair return for his labor and
investment. The price of wheat at
-the farm now is averaging about 70
cents a bushel significantly less
than the cost of production.
The "protection" given to American
agriculture consists of the "special"
tariff approved May 27, 1921, and the
Fordney-McCumber law of last Sep-
tember. Wheat was selling in Chicago
at an average of $1.68 a bushel (for
No, 2 hard winter) on the day the
"special" tariff was signed by the
President On May 27, 1923, wheat
sold in Chicago for $1.17 a bushel,

The "protection" given to meats

The "protection" given to meats has
been almost as futile as a stimulant
to prices as the duty on wheat Ac-
cording to the Department of Agri-
culture, the prices of hogs, cattle,
sheep and chickens were 10.9 per cent
lower on May 15, 1023, than they

- The Republican tariffs have been of
little worth to the American farmer,
but have compelled him to pay $300,-
than it has given him in higher prices
for what he has to sell, according to
expert economists of the Farm Bu
reau Federation
As for the "easier credits" that
have been provided for agriculture,
the farmer's answer is that he is
looking for a device to get him out
of debt, not a recipe for making his
indebtedness heavier.

The Reclamation Scandal
Following the administration scan-
dais of Teanot Dome. Newberryism,
Daughteryism, Nat Goldsteinism,
Laskerism, and the wholesale dis-
charges of faithful and efficient aged
officials in the Bureau of EngTaving
and Printing, there is now the pros-
pect of another major scandal involv-
ing the administration in the recent
forrpd resioTiation of Arthur Powell
Davis as director of the Reclamation
Service. The present Secretary of
the Interior, Dr. Hubert Work, who is
responsible for ousting Director Da-
vis, has earned an uneniable reputa-
tion as a partisan reactionary poli-
tician, both in the Post Office De -
partment and in the Interior Depart-
raent- j , .
It is openly asserted that Director
Davis was forced to resign at the in-
stance of large power companies in
uie nest, nw rccuru onuw uwt ..c
His record shows that he
has always opposed the predatory in
terests that have sought to gobble up
the country's natural resources. Direc-
tor Davis is credited with carrying

servation and reclamation program

HOW THE DECK EASE Or '
VALUE IN LUMBER flTTS ONE
Professor Irnnf ruber writes in- i
taraatiartv of how th thnfty who
save money ara robbed by tha infla-
Uoo of tba currency. Profaaaor ,
FUher ia aa economic student and )
leader and professor of Political ;
Economy at Yale
lessor Fisher writes
style ana explains in a plain manner
one of the many new stories which
are told about inflation of money in
Europe. Here is one of hem he
gives:
Three years ago a Polish clothier,
wishing to retire from business, sold
out his stock of 100 suits of clothes
at 1000 Polish marks each, and put
the 100,000 marks into a savings
bank. Recently he withdrew it with
interest, making 130,000 marks in
all, and found that this would buy
one suit oi clothes!
Whether or not he ever realized
that the mark had fallen is a uues-
tion. Probably not, if we may judg-e
by what I observed when in Europe
two years ago.
jje probably was deceived by the
money illusion and believed that his
principal was unimpaired and that
he had really received it back with
interest. To him the trouble did not;
seem to be with the mark but with !
the wicked "profiteers" who had
raised the price of clothes. He would
to put them in jail but he would
never think of stopping inflation. 1

cause we are outside of Poland and !
think of the mark in terms of dol- (

Let's see how we stand: (
According to my weekly index
number of the wholesale prices of 1
200 commodities, prices averaged at .
the beginning of this year 66 per
cent ab ve pre.war prices, or the
dollar was worth 64 per-war cents,
If some American clothier (tak- j
inj: clothes as representing the aver- i
age commodity) had sold out his j
100 suits in 1923 at $20 per suit
and put the 2000 into the
savings
how woulJ he have
come out

We need not go back of this year.
When the year began the index
number stood, as just noted, at 156.

tner way,
last January the dollar
was worth 64 pre-war cents, while
today it is worth 61 pre-war cents.
