THE DEMOCRATIC EARM PLAN
The Democrats new farm or "domestic allotment"
plan is something radically new in government aid a direct
payment to the farmer to guarantee him a fixed price for
farm produce. This guarantee of course will be at the ex
pense of the consumer. The Democrats declare this plan a
temporary expedient but the Republicans term It a “shot
in the arm.”
The farmer who wishes to be on allotment signs up
an allotment certificate the first of the season. When he
has marketed his product he gets what is termed an adjust
ment certificate which calls for the payment of 42 cents a
bushel on wheat, 6 cents a pound on cotton. 4 cents on to
bacco, 2 cents on hogs. etc.
This guarantee to the farmer who accepts allotments
is estimated to cost the average consumer family $34.60 a
year. A practical example is bread which it is calculated to
raise the price on 1 cent a loaf.
To us the plan is one to cut the production, raise the
price and guarantee the farmer with some sort of sales tax
at the expense of the consumer. It is supposed to help con
ditions in general by giving the fanner more money to
spend.
j f £
The bad part as we see it is with the increased price
on the consumer which will work a greater hardship on the
unemployed by raising the price artifically on the necessi
ties of life. We can not see that it will decrease production
unless all farmers come under it. The outside farmer will
reap the benefit of any higher price caUMd by lowered sup
ply and he will increase his output to get the higher price
to a point where there will be continued overproduction. In
this case the government with the adjusted certificates will
be holding the sack. The soldiers were given adjusted pay
certificates which resulted in giving Uncle Sam a headache.
Now the Democrats propose to give the same thing to the
farmers.
Of course if all farmers were compelled to come in on
the plan It likely would work. But to compel a farmer or
anyone else to do a certain thing would not be democracy.
We must have our freedom at any cost!

Those Dukabors, which have the Canadian government
perplexed, would surely be provoked to expression if they
lived in the United States. When the tax collector comes
around they stand mute and start taking off their shirts.
If the tax collector persists they go farther and take off
everything. If one of those "Duks” took off his shirt in this
country the tax collector would grab it and wait for more.

“UNDEREATING”
I think I have written enough words about overeating
to fill a book- -a large one. The great American sin is over
eating. Maybe it is the depression, but a late incident leads
me to write this letter about not eating enough.
Last evening an old-time lady acquaintance ate supper
with us, and “a good time was had by all.”
This lady friend of our family has two grown daugh
ters, and is her own house-keeper. She is visiting here for
“nerves.” She is a bundle of live wires— has lost weight,
until her limbs are like casting-rods. She lias “dieted,” yes
Indeed! She has not left her digestive tract enough nerves
to do their work.
After a very hearty aupper, she stood up before me.
“Now Just look, doctor,” she half-complained, “see how I
am swelled.” She bulged herself out in front to exaggerate
the condition. “Does it hurt you in any way?” I enquired.
“No—but Just look at it,” she persisted; “a person oughtn’t
tub out that way after eating should they?”
"Well, you have eaten a good, wholesome meal,” I said;
“and if It causes you no inconvenience— forget It.”
This good woman had actually stinted herself in nour
ishment because she was afraid of “tubbing out.” Actually
denying herself the necessary nutrition. Then her nerves
were going “hay-wire” about keeping those darlings in
school. There was no disease preying on her. not at all,—
she was creating her own troubles. A season of common
sense practice is all she needs. How many of iny good
mothers of daughters are like her—starving themselves into
neurotica?
