CAPPER ON THE FARM PROBLEM.
Senator Arthur Capper, lender of the agricultural bloc
in the United Stales senate and big farm journal publisher,
has definite ideas on the agricultural situation in this coun
try, what , causes it und how it can be improved. In an
article in' the New York Times last Sunday he discusses
the whole problem in a forceful, logical way that should
aid many urban citizens to appreciate what the farmer is
up against and why he is seeking governmental help. lie
paysin -part:
- To one cause, excess or surplus production, may
. lie traced some. of the most serious ills of agricul
. , ture. ;lt is largely responsible for inadequate re-
turns, discontent, discouragement, debt and inabil
ity to make progress because of lack of means, so -'
evident in the fanning industry.
' t
ml. ' ... . .. .
V ino prices or agricultural products are largely
v 'determined,- not by the bulk of the production sold
V in the prosperous domestic market and consumed
v hy folks having a relatively high standard of living
and incomes sufficient to maintain it, but by 10
to 20 per cent of the production the excess or sur
,1 - ' pluft that usually is sold in a foreign, competitive
market, to folk whose stondard of living is far be
i . low that prevailing in the United States and whose
; inpomcs are much lower than ours. That 10 to 20 ,
" ..; per cent surplus to a great extent makes the price ,
for our entire production and it is, has been, and ;
may continue 16 be, a low price. '
t ..' ,
(.:' ' I
We take it for granted that the removal of this .
cause suiplus production is impossible, at least
j. for the present. Tho only hope for a cure seems
, to be to work out a method whereby the surplus
may be controlled ond its evil effects obviated. If
this surplus can be depurated from that part of our
! food production needed to supply the domestic niar
i ket and its' effect on the sale of that production
eliminated, then the surplus need no longer cause
! . distress.
So long as wo hove a surplus production we
must find a market for it abroad. A system must
le worked out that will move this surplus into
, foreign channels, sell it for what it will bring, and
then distribute the loss properly, among the pro
ducers. This must be done in a wav that will
sell the remainder of their crops that needed to
supply the domestic market free from the sag
of the excess production and at a price sufficient
to return nn adequate wage and profit.
' Two measures now before congress the Dick
inson bill and the McNilry-llaughen bill--attempt to '
solve this problem. Each has objectionable fea
tures. U is understood that Secretary Jardine is "
favorable to the Dickinson bill, which to based on
the theory that if a federal marketing commission
. will mobilize the surpluses of farm products and -sell
them in foreign markets the remainder of tho
crop on the domestic market would rise to the ex-
;.( tent of the tariff on the products. To make good
Its losses the federal commission is required to levy
an equalization lax upon all producers of- surplus
". commodities.
. ,..,
Without some means of regulating our suiplus
we have no assurance as to future prosperity, lint
with the surplus problem -provided for agriculture
should come into its own and the faun will be what
, its importance to the nation's life should make it.
It is as vitally important to the consumer that
American agriculture be mmle a i.iiilv and a safe
ly preritablo industry as il is to the" producer, to
general business and to the nation. It would be
, a suicidal policy for us to become a fond-importing
country like England and eventually be at the
mi-ivy oi an outside Source of supply. !
, The whole problem, as Senator Capper sees it, is that'
the American farmer must 'pay American prices for the
things he buys and must receive foreign prices for thj
things he has to sell. The American manufacturer buys
at a domestic price and sells at a domestic price, duo to'
his tariff protection. It is similar protection that the'
farmer desires, not by tariff schedules necessarily, but'
wirougn me control or crep surplus. It remains to lie seen
if congress can work nut effective cnniml
