One Year ----- *.................... $1.50 SEPTEMBER 21, 1984 KEEP IT OUT The importation of some kinds of bread grains into the United States appears to be one of the most foolish actions possible under the circumstances. - For while frowets in this country arc willing to reduce crops temporarily in or der to bolster up the price they do not intend to allow for eign wheat to reap the benefits of their action. ■ Back of it all there seems to be a bit of doubt about the accuracy of the government reports that there is plenty of wheat on hand to feed the population for another year. Some are anxious to have a supply of flour on hand, just in case there should be an over estimate of the wheat we have left after two drouth years. The government is in the po sition of wanting to bold down bread prices and yet have the farmers paid a price that is equal to ihe parity price es tablished at the beginning of the allotment, plan. There is not a wide margin between what one might assume the gov ernment would consider too high and what it would call too low, In case of actual shortage it might be necessary to enforce price control on the milling and baking industry. One thing, however, is certain. The farmers are going to rise up in a body if wheat is imported until absolutely necessary. ' . x - --------- 0--------- STILL WORTH SAVING This is the time of budget making The national gov ernment is in the throes of planning for another year and has lost the conservative Mr Douglass in the process, state officials are working on a projected expense account ano the next term of court will name men for the same duty in the county Schools and cities all must determire to a de gree how much they will spend in 1935 There is no doubt a changed attitude regarding taxes, even in this county where tax reduction was an important issue a few years ago. Now some of the most active in the tax reduction drive express their willir.gress to pay taxes if they get value received for the money. This may be partly because of the fact that leadership in the county has from the hands of the men who actually own property to those who rent it and whose taxes are therefore a less oner ous burden. Nevertheless, there still remairs a large fum of unpaid taxes in this county despite better u heat prices, govern- men^ payments for wheat and hegs and loans by the lar d banks. It still behooves budgeting bodies to expend the public funds with caution although peihsps the time is gone when no extra expenditures can be made regardless of the need. Cutting of salaries will rot be so popular“ since the rise in the cost of living, bin other savings that can be made in administration or management should be as carefully planned as in the cost cutting days of 1930 and hunting with B^ha and party but Arden A.
