Wallace secretary of agriculture, comparison is made between the buying power of wages -earned by the farmer and: the‘various tradesmen in both cash and commodities. ‘We'quote parts of Mr, Wallace’s article which throws light upon existing conditions and gives food for thought to all who may read it. “The value of income, whether it be in the form of wages, or of money receivzd for the sales of the products of labor, is represented not in dollars and cents but in what that money will buy—in other words by -its purchasing power. “It is rather startling to thmkmg peop]e to compare the wages paid the workers in organized industries with the-.. wages re- ceived by the farmer, as represented in the price he gets for the things he grows. A few specific illustrations indicate clearly the position in which the American farmer finds himself in relation to workers in these industries. “Take for example the: average wage received by the coal miner for mining a ton of coal, In 1913 this wage per ton would buy 1.1 bushels of corn.in Towa; in 1921 it would buy 2.5 bushels of corn in the same state. In 1913 the ton wage would buy .7 of a bushel of wheat in North Dako- ta;in'1921 it would'purchase .9 of a bushel In 1913 it would buy 4.7 pounds of cotton in Texas but in 1921 it would ;purchase 8.5 pounds of cotton in the same state. “The foregoing comparisons show, how- ever, that the wages of the farmer as rep- resented by the prices paid for his crops are lower than his wages were before the war, measured in purchasing power, while on the other hand, the wages of the work- men, and especm]ly the workmen' in-orga- nized industries, are T i i than they were before> we measure them in doll in purchasing power. “The fact is that the farmersy e war, whether ~and cents or They have appealed to the administratjon to Congress, and to every other agen which they thought might possibly he'lg\ them, but while making these efforts to\ avoid their heavy losses, they have not stopped working. They have kept on pro- ducing and in the face of extraordinary low prices they have this year grown one of the largest crops in the entire history of our country, b . “The farmer believes in law and order. He believes firmly in government. He be- lieves in fairness and justice between man and man. He believes in working hard and producing efficiently and he does all of these things in which he believes. “The farmer’s wages are not paid regu- larly every week or every month. Instead he must receive his compensation at irreg- ular intervals varying from thre months to a year or more depending upon the nature GOODILAND Jay R. Wells was in_Bemidji_ Fri- day «on -business.

The consuming public pays, but it makes no agreement whatever as to the amount.it will pay. antly, but the: price he receives for what he raises is determined after the amount of his-production is known. The buyers na- turally drive the closest bargain possible. The more the farmer produces, . the less the buyers want to pay, and thus, strange as_it may seem, we have large production actually penalized. “Very often, in fact it is the = general rule, 2 large crop brings the farmar few- duee it; The bnergy and the ‘intelligence ith ‘which the- armer\produces his, crops he:number of rks, the expense ¢ in¢lirs in progdiicing. " crops—none. _of these is considered in determining the price he receives, “The farmer therefore .works on faith. “He carries all the risks of the weather heat and cold, of flood and drouth, of storms,. of insect pests and plant and ani- mal diseases. He must plant enough to make sure that there will be food for all with certainty that at the same time in un- usually favorable seasons the result may be a large surplus and that this surplus, which can not be hidden, probably will cause prices lower than the actual cost of production. “The farmer must be willing to accept these low prices with best grace possible and adjust his living expenses to meet }us reduced income. ‘ “If other national groups would work as the farmer has done our economic troubles would soon be over. Prices would soon be adjusted, to their normal relationships. There would be work enough for every- body and just wages for all. “But there are many people and groups of people who think only .of themselves and how they can profit the most at the expense of the community at large and es- pecially at the expense of the farmer. “The farmer is sick and tired of this sort of business. He sees no reason why such disputes cannot and should not be settled in an orderly and lawful way without the over a hundred acres in various \ aside every weight that doth so easily be- daughtcrs Irene and Lorrian' return-| found yet. ed to their home here Saturday after [ was done by the same party who has visiting in-Cloquet and Grand Rapids | been taking cattle in other parts of <Mr. and’Mrs. Wm.

The buyers are Minneapolis people who plsn to bulld cottages for sum- | mer resorts. The land has been county property for some ten or twelve years and'is now placed on ‘the tax rolls and will be a source of revenue, instead of . idle, non-productive property. Good business Mr. Paulson and other members of the board. The people appreciate action of this kind, —t REDUCING FAD “Reducing” has become quite a fad. The moment the society maiden discovers she is a half a pound over weight, she under- goes every imaginable hardship from walk ing ten miles to fasting, that she may “re- ‘duce.” “Reducing” clubs are quite the thing in cities, until the movement has be- come reductio ad absurdum. Now, if thege same people were just as anxious to lay set them, that they might run the race of life, they would obviate any suggestion of \ inconsistency. Why not have “reducing” clubs in the church for the sole purpose of minimizing sin'and magnifying holmeu" Northern Advocate. 4 KEEPING DOWN THE TAXES \\J. €.

The present incumbent has been in; the court house for tweniy years and for three terms has held the office of Reglstet of Deeds. In the sense .of fairness and jus- tice the people are entitled to make a change at the election Nov. 7th. The . present incumbent has been highly honored: by the voters in the past and should gracefully step down. I have been a resident of Beltrami county for fifteen years, have built a home, raised my family and con- ducted my self in a manner that the people will have no apologies to make should they see fit to entrust ' ‘me with the dutiés-of this office.
