Taber, master of the national grange, told the organi zation's 73rd annual convention today that "we have not yet solved our farm problem, and It remains with us as one of the great unanswered steps toward recovery." Proof that the farmer is not receiving his share of the na tional income Is evidenced by the fact, Taber said in his pre pared keynoto address, that In the last decade farmers received barely 10 per cent of the na tional income, including govern ment benefit payments. Farm Dollar Down "The farmer's condition Is brought into bold relief," he continued, "when we remember that during the same period he has educated, housed, clothed and fed 31 per cent of the youth of our land." During the past 10 years, Mas ter Taber said, prices received by farmers were only equal to 78 per cent of the prices they paid for commodities, goods and services used in rural life. This makes the farm dollar 22 per cent below par and "it is more than coincidence that approxi mately 20 per cent of the na tion's labor is unemployed." "This proves that America's greatest need is economic bal ance. Such disparity cannot be corrected by legislation alone. Until labor and industry will meet agriculture in solving this problem, depression will con tinue. Payrolls, business activity and ndvancing farm prices go hand In hand." Program Needed "Government, business, fi nance and labor must unite In a long-range, broad program NEW ORLEANS AND THE OlD SOUTH Pacific Agent. Phone 34 7 : aj.i.... I City Sun doing justice to tillers of the soil and (1) assuring every per son in the nation an ample sup ply of food, clothing and shelter; (2) guaranteeing the farmers that they shall have a fair return on their products for the essential service which they render to so ciety. Both of these objectives can be attained by cooperation on the part of all Interested, and the wise statesmanship at the hands of government. Taber asserted experience had shown reciprocal treaties have not benefitted American agricul ture as a whole. "A study of tables showing our exports of cotton and other basic surpluses proves that the program thus far has not bene fitted these commodities," he said. "On the other hand, the very existence of these treaties has a tendency to depress prices." T BY HIGHER COURT Salem, Nov. 15. (IP) The state supreme court ruled today that school district No. 1 of Multnomah county has no right to require applicants for teach- I ing jobs to waive their rights to collect disability benefits. The high court, in a decision by Justice Bean, reversed Judge Jacob Kanzler of Portland, who had held the district could re quire the waivers. The district contributes to the teachers' retirement fund asso ciation of school district No, 1, and three years ago began to force all newly-hired teachers to submit to physical examinations. If it was found that the new teachers might be poor disability risks, the district required them to sign waivers forfeiting their rights to collect benefits should they become disabled.

"I'm as sound and healthy as I ever was, and you've robbed me of the privilege of making a decent livelihood. "This means bread and but ter to me and my family. You see, it is rather an imperative time ..." His voice choked and he slumped to the floor. Dr. E. Vincent Askey, a board member, rushed to his side. "He's dead," the physician said softly.
