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. '

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

This is the time of year when, in olden days, peo-
pie went about paying up their bills, settling up as

New Year.
Everyone liked the plan as long as it was
possible, and many still do it.
