Many-Sided Attack Demonstrations by the government experts of how to keep water on the land where it falls should be valuable to the entire drouth region for the things which are being done on the Schultz farm near Bismarck and in other places must be done on a large scale if agriculture is to prosper in this area. Fighting against it is the natural inertia which always greets such proposals and the feeling that old ways are best. But impartial analysis of the situation shows these to be weak arguments, Most of us have little inclination to try new things unless we are forced into them. But in this instance the forces which impel the farmers of the Great Plains toward a new system of agriculture are felt by all. There isn’t a farmer now on drouth relief who will not rejoice when he manages to get , off, The experiments which are being conducted by various private, state and federal experts indicate what must be done on a broad scale if the ambition of a self-sustaining and pros- perous agriculture is to be realized. The thought that old ways are best is, of course, wrong. There can be old-fogy farmers just as surely as practitioners of other professions and businesses can fall behind the times. ‘The experience of the past must be considered but in this case it merely emphasizes the necessity of finding new and better ways of doing things if conditions are to be improved. Fortunately, the attitude of all parties indicates that this is not a political question. Every candidate for major office recognizes the need for conservation and restoration of the Great Plains to a better status. Whatever happens in the ‘The A ted Pi ‘| partisan politics can change it. BOTH SIDES : of the CAMPAIGN KENTUCKY SENATOR DECLARES NEW DEAL FINANCING I8 SOUND By Alben W. Barkley (United States Senator From Kentucky) In the consideration of public as well as private indebtedness we must consider the condition of the debtor, his income in proportion to debt, and the interest required to be paid on the debt. Let us assume that in 1933 2 man— for convenience we will call him. a Mr. Hoover—had an income of $2,084 per year. His indebtedness on which he was required to pay interest amounted to $22,539. Let us assume that in 1936 another man—for convenience call him a Mr. Roosevelt—had an income of $4,116 per year, and owed $33,779 on which he was required to pay interest. Our Mr, Hoover, considered by many to be an admirably cautious business man, had not hesitated to assume a debt which was more than 10 times his annual income in 1933. But for 1936 this Mr. Roosevelt, to whom we have referred, is in- debted in an amount only geven times his annual income. On account of the generally more healthy state of his business Mr. Roosevelt was able to reduce his in- terest charges during the past sum- mer to slightly more than 2% per cent; but Mr. Hoover back in 1933, in spite of his intimate friendship with numerous bankers, had been required to pay almost 3% per cent ‘on HIS loans, 2 The result of this situation is that Mr. Hoover's interest charges in 1933 amounted to $689 per year, while Mr. Roosevelt's, in 1936, are $749 per year. Mr. Hoover's income was three times his interest charges. But Mr. Roosevelt's income is FIVE. AND ONE-HALF times his interest charges. ee 8 Simpler Mathematics The mathematics of this proposi- tion cannot be denied. No amount of AS you have probably surmised, the Mr. Hoover to whom I am referring was President of the United States. The Mr. Roosevelt referred to now oc- cupys that high position. The figures I have used represent the millions and billions of government debt, gov- ernment revenue and government in- terest charges taken from the treas- ury statements and reduced to the simpler term of thousands, to make: them comprehensive to the man of Moderate means and ordinary finan- cial experience. Not only can any banker under- election, work such as that being done by the soil conservation service will go forward. It is merely good sense and everyone recognizes it, But, since the problem is a many-sided one, it merits an attack on all fronts. It means that, sooner or later, we shall have to have a classification of the land. It is not enough to look at soil to know its worth. Where production data are not available to show the worth of the land, soil analysis and class- ification will be an accurate -guide,*.It also will take the guess- work out of taxation. We will have fewer people on unsuitable land, more production with less effort and a greater total volume of farm products. Land which is suited only for pasture will go back to pas- ture—and a great deal of such land now is under cultivation. Hy! These pastures will produce more, as is expected to be the case f with the pasture on the Schultz farm. This, in turn, will mean more beef cattle and more dairy- ing and hence more industries preparing milk and meat for market, Buttressing this general situation should be irrigated areas where farmers will be able to make a living from rela- tively small tracts by reason of high production per acre. These will supply large amounts of alfalfa hay and similar feed and will bolster both the beef and dairy industries, particularly in By this system North Dakota will be able to support more ; people—AND ON A PROSPEROUS BASIS—than ever before j has been the case. ; North Dakota is going forward from here out. It will take work and the path will not be an easy one but the ulti- mate goal is certain once our people make up their minds to it. Lovely September September is the loveliest lady of all the months through- out the year. She heals the wounds made by her errant sisters. Gone are the bitter winds of winter, the fierce, hot blasts of torrid sum- mer. Her sunshine is a beneficence which speaks of peace, puts one at ease, banishes thoughts of a frigid tomorrow. No flapper is September, but a mature woman, serene and confident of her charm, gracious and understanding. But there is romance, too, in her yellowed sickle moon, the caressing softness of her twilight, in stars as big as saucers which may be plucked from their places by anyone who cares to reach up into the sky. . Yes, a gracious lady is September and particularly welcome this year when so many other months have failed to fulfill their promise. * September promises nothing. Her’s is a time of fulfill- _ ment. She is a gorgeous beauty who accepts the tributes which men offer as becomes a goddess of the seasons, Wi ¥ stand the last comparison which I have made, but any investor who has ever read a prospectus sheet should Not only be able to understand but to rejoice. Under President Roosevelt the government's income, its tax rev-} D, enues from all sources, were 5% times the government's charges. Under President Hoover, though on ® smaller net debt, the interest charges were only smaller in actual amount by some 60 million dollars, | 59: but-the income out of which they had to be paid was only three times their amount. In other words, although as ® result of the depression President Roosevelt has been compelled to in- crease the national debt to a net amount about equal to the increase under Mr, Hoover, yet the income of the treasury under Mr. Roosevelt is 5% times the government's interest charges, while under Mr. Hoover it was only three times these charges, notwithstanding Mr. Hoover's in- crease in taxes during his administra- tion. se & Claims Superb Finance The criterion by which every lender and every wise investor judges an en- terprise is this ratio of earnings to interest, There is no more reliable index of. economic health in any business than this criterion. In busi- ness it is as important as the doctor's thermometer and the pulse count in measuring. physical health. Along- |) side this showing, as indicated above, the screams of some of the recovering industrial and financial patients, to the effect that our government is plunging headlong into overwhelming debt, are nothing but hysteria; any wise medical man recognizes and ig- nores them, The superb health which is indi- cated in our government's financial system at this time is fully demon- strated by @ comparison of its status with similar ratios among private cor- Porations. In order that comparisons may not become odious, we may take a sum- of the foremost statistical organiza- tions in the United States, Though not parallel, the comparison between corporations’ net incomes to their fixed charges is close enough for the purposes of this illustration. A summary of 403 industrial cor- their fixed charges, to wit: interest. By 1931, however, these same corpor- ations netted only slightly more than three times their interest charges. In 1932 their net income was leas than one-half their elar charges.
