WASHINGTON'S ODD POSITION
"Ulan proposes Cod disposes," says the old proverb. It
proves a fact that has the department of agriculture and
high government officials giddy and dismayed. The main
administration program at Washington for the farmer has
been crop and acreage reduction. Working on the theory
that unless drastic action were taken, the American market
would be glutted with agricultural surpluses for many years
to come, thus keeping prices at bankrupt levels, steps were
taken to kill pigs, plow under wheat and cotton, and other
wise attempt to adjust demand and supply. The government
paid out checks totaling millions to farmers in order to re
compense them for crops thus destroyed.
Everything went along well until the power of God ap
peared, in the form of the worst drouth in generations. The
wheat and cotton crops of whole stales wore literally burned
to dust cattle died of thirst and starvation high winds
whirled away seed and top-soil, making a desert of what had
been the fi.KrSt and richest farm land in the country.
Outside of the afflicted areas, the American people had
little idea of what the result of this would be. They read
the headlines, felt pity for the farmers whose year's income
had vanished, agreed that the government should adminis
ter relief. What they did not realize was that the drouth,
following upon the man-made campaign to destroy produce,
had turned the crop sm-plus into a crop deficit. And that
means but one thing: Soaring food prices to the consumer.
Private crop experts say that it will take five or six years
to make up for the crops we have lost. Every one of these
experts is of the belief that during tho coming winter food
prices will be higher than for many years past and that,
coming at a time when the national income is still heavily
depressed and millions of families are earning just enough
to get by on, contains the fruits of potential tragedy.
President Roosevelt, Secretary Wallace and others have
said that all the power of government will be used to prevent
profiteering, that the consumer will be protected. lint no
law exists which can keep farmers from hanging onto what
crops they have left in the hope of higher prices no power
has yet been called into play that can prevent speculation
all along the line, from the farm to tho grocery store.
. Washington is worried and uncertainand in the mean
time the government is in the odd position of forcing crop
reduction on one hand, while administering relief to crop
sufferers on the other!

NORTHWEST PAYS
SPECIAL TAXES
TO GOVERNMENT
By II. C. Hunter
. WASHINGTON iAI The states
of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and
Utah fuini'hed 25,782 payers of spe
cial taxes to aid in filling the cof
feiH of the United States treasury
during the fiscal year of 1934.
While tlie sum paid by these tax
payers was not disclosed by officials
ol'.lho buvoau of Internal revenue, the
lWious assessmeifts over period of
a full year would amount to $472,904.
Tlie actual sum paid, however, would
not reach the total. Inasmuch as
many of the special taxes were levied
for only a portion of the fiscal year.
Washington state led the Held wlih
a total of 11,150 such payers, of which
3.9:Jl paid special taxes as retailers
of fermented malt liquors. In second
place close behind were the rvtallers
of distilled liquors, numbering 3.856.
While none of these assessments cov
ert d a full year nnd were for various
U ninths of time, their special taxes
over a full 13 months period would
total &7H.720 for the beer dealers
and $96,400 for the liquor retailers.
Oregon was second on the list with
0,048 special taxpayers and like Wash
ington the beer retailers with 3,298
were the largest group. Retail liquor
dealt rs dropped to third In that
state with 1 .716 being surpassed only
tho 1.738 retail oleomargarine dealers.
On a yearly basis the taxes paid by
thef1 groups would be: Beer retailers
$65,880; oleomargarine retailers $10.
428 and retail liquor dealers $42,000.
On 'the same yearly basis the total
taxes from payers of the special levies
In CreL'on would amount to $150,657.
In addition' tlie bureau report
showed the following payers of special
taxes In Oregon:
Rectifiers of distilled spirits 1:
wholesale liquor dealers 85; breweries
5; wholesale beer dealers 212; oleo
margarine manufacturers 1; oleomar
garine wholesalers 14; mixed flotir
