PROGRESSING ANYWAY
What history will say about the economic troubles we are now.
undergoing is uncertain, but it seems possible that, like the flurry
of 1907, it will be referred to as a money panic Just now, it looks
as if the financial structure of the country is the cause of the weak
ness that has tied up the movement of goods throughout the na
tion.
There has been an effort within the last three or four years to
maintain our financial and business firms on a war time basis.
This has been particularity true of banks and railroads. It is
plain now that tn is cannot succeed. Everyone has come to the
realiza ion that the depression is not a temporary set back in our
progress, but is a change to the lower price levels of pre-war days.
With smaller prices and less credit the inflated capitalization
of the nineteen twenties cannot continue. Reorganization must
be used to reduce overhead, interest charge?, excess taxes and
other expenses caused by over capitilization It is the water in
organizations that has caused them to freeze.
This movement will not hurt the farmer for he has already
been deflated. If the organisation of business firms is complete
the farmer should profit by lower prices of transportation and
other things he has to buy. ~
The last week’s developments seem to foretell the end of
banking as we have known it the last twenty years. If the gov
eminent realty guarantees deposits, it will be forced to exercise a
control over bank practices and investments that will preclude
speculation in bonds, in mortgages and in general business.
Banks will be places to keep money, not institutions to control »he
fates of a communities, counties or a nation
Apparently we are at the end of the post war speculative era.
The days of silk shirts, big business executives, new cars every
spring, jazz, and other manifestations of ready money in abun
dance are gone to be recalled only in the uninspiring pages of his
tory books. And whether it is for the better or for the worse it
is what good Doctor Necessity has ordered and we will take our
medicine.

OH, GEE , .
Ain’t nature grand. Ain’t human nature wonderful- Wednes-
day listener, to the noon news broadcast heard that the president.
his secretary of agriculture and secretary of treasury b^Kved
. that the proper price for wheat should be between $1 12 and $1W
tidewater and that they would immediately take steps to adjust
the difference between the present price and the proper price.
' Were we excited? Say, if a man has been living on beans foi
three years does he smack his lips over the prospect of fried
' chicken? Groups buzzed on every corner. There was no topic ol
conversation but $125 wheat. One couldn’t have bought a ker
nel at a price less than ninety cents here. All the remembrance
of the good old days when every farmer was a king were recalled.
It might'be that some memories went back to approximate y
four years ago when the incoming Hoover administration set a
price of $1 13 tidewater and farmers were happy. That the resu t
was not entirely satisfactory in its later developments was forgot
ten We were all hopped up over the mere mention of $1.12 wheat.
The morning’s papers were strangely silent on the proposal,
however, being interested in banking principally, but there was a
story to the effect that a plan for the reduction of acreage wou <
be proposed - The land unused would be rented by the govern-
ment and held from production.

Thus endeth the -ream. But, no one can blame a hungr
man for dreaming hopefully of beefsteak and french fr.ed covere
with plenty .of rich gravy

This grammer review will absorb the
