and if the site value were taken and
there were po taxes on anything you
bought that would nearly double the
buying power of labor, that is you
would pay only half as much for
the things you bought. It land were
free that would eliminate a first cost
on land and that would increase the
buying power of labor. No one
would have to consider the coot of
a home except the building.
Wages would go up to the full pro­
duction of labor. All wealth is the
union of two things—a job (land,)
plus labor. If you take one away,
the other is left. Let us take a chair.
If we take away all that to labor
from the chair the job or land is left.
If you free land you are really free­
ing the job, and with free land (job)
you would have a large number of
jobs and wages would go up to the
full earnings of labor.
You cannot produce jobs (lapd)
you can only make them accessible.
Free trade, free land, free men.

others held at the City Hall in Coos
Bay last week.
The local board will assign the
farm slaughter quota in pounds of
dressed meet for each of the quarters
of the calendar year equivalent to
100 per çent of the amount the farm­
er sold or gave away during the
corresponding quarter of 1944. In
case the full number of rationing
points required were not turned in to
the local board during 1944, the ap­
plicant will be asked to sign a com­
pliance indicating that he under­
stands the rationing regulation and
agrees in the future to collect points
and turn them in to the local board.
Farmers who sold no meet in 1944
may obtain a quota for delivery up
to 400 pounds of dressed meat during
this year, it was explained.
Under this program slaughterers
are divided into three classes, Janney
stated. One includes those estab­
lishments subject to federal lnspec-
tion. No lilmtations are placed on
their slaughter since they are al­
ready subject to “set aside’’ orders.
Clam three, resident operators or
farms who slaughter livestock, or had
livestock slaughtered for them from
which they collected or transferred
during 1944, not more than 6,600
pounds of dressed meet. Clam two
slaughterers include all non-federally
inspected
commercial and retail
slaughterers as well as any person
other than farm slaughterer who had
livestock custom slaughtered for
them.
