opposed to the proposed "certifi
cate nlan" to rnise farm parity
benefits.
The treasury head added, how
ever, thnt the administration had
not made a final decision on: the
certificate plon proposed by Secre
tary of Agriculture Wnllace. Wal
lace has been asked to attend a
second meeting of the president's
fiscal and monetary committee
this afternoon to talk about the
idea.

poses transferring from the treas

the burden of farm parity pay-1
ments, which cost $225,000,000 last

Instead of tdc treasury paying
formers the difference between
market prices and so-called parity
prices, elevators and others buying
major crops from farmers would
pay the full parity price directly to
the farmer, taking a certificate,
provided the farmer by the agricul

At his press conference Ickes,
said that he had discussed such a

explained, "intent be called before I

Change Made fn
County Auditing
The Douglus county financial

bv a slate auditor from the office
of the secretary of state, the coun
ty court announced today. 1 he
court has formally requested the
secretary of state to furnish an
auditor lo conduct the 19:19 audit,
as provided by the state law mak
ing such service available to coun
ties. "Our action is not based on any
dissatisfaction with past audits,
but as our records have been
checked for several years by the
same private auditing firm, it Is
Urn opinion of the court that it
would be to the county's advantage
to oi-casioiially make a change,"
County Judge Morris liowker ex
plained.
The county'H audits since l!)!to
have been made by the firm of
Wann and Collier of Marshfield.
"We hnvo had very fine service
from tlio private auditors." Judge
fcowker said, "ami the change to
be made this venr la not due to any
Ceollng that the work has not been
properly done. It is possible, how-
nver, that state auditors, who nave
had much experience with county
records, mnv he ablo to furnish
f!me
new ideas and at the same
time supply an additional check
on the county's bookkeeping meth
ods." Heretofore the county audit has
been contracted uHn bids from
private auditors. Under the sys
