LETS HAVE ANOTHER DECK
Easy money. Something for nothing How it does appeal to
everyone. When people are no longer able to believe that they
are capable of earning money enough for their needs and desires
they embrace the idea of changing the val je of the money. It is
like a poker game. The man with a few lonesome white chips in
front of him conceives the notion that he can get a fresh start by
raising their value to that of the reds and that of the reds to the
value formerly had by the blues.
Inflation or reflation or any other method of changing the val
ue of money is not going to immediately cure all ills of a society
as a patent medicine is claimed io cure physical diseases. One
will be no more successfuPthan the other.
A memory ten years long will bring to one the knowledge that
it was in times of easy money when everyone contracted this dis-
seáse of debt in the first place and now it is claimed that we should
return to easy money to seeK a cure. True, if one’s creditor^ were
as insistent on payment when money was cheap debts would be
smalLr, but creditors do their investing when money is cheap, not
their collecting •

It isn’t the quanity of money that is hurting the farmer and
the laborer. It is the unequal distribution of it- When, as was re
cently reported in the news, it is possible for bread to be the same
price as twenty years ago with wheat at one half its price at that
time then it is easy to see the division of money that is at fault.
When with pork Selling four cents below 1913, ham is seven cents
above it is plain that our distribution system is out of joint. When
the cost of putting the farmers products on the market is four or
five times the value of the goods it is apparent that the fruit of
the world’s work are too unevenly distributed.
. The entire nation is going to be in this very depression until
th- thirty some odd million farm residents are able to buy some
thing more than necessities. Corporations will pass their dividends,
onds will continue to slump and profits will be scarce indeed ir
manufacturing lines as long as farm prices yield no return above
actual costs It may be that it wilt be continued until corporation*

they will bring, but either commodity prices will come down to *

will rise.

The farmer asks less from the social system in the way of
profits than any o! h 'r class Nevertheless, he must have his mib

the game any fairer to double the stakes. That plea sounds more
