FrA—I12 #x FARM BOARD SET 10 BARE REGORDS i Pamphlet to Give Details of ! Market Operations to Aid Farmer. It prizes were awarded for annual Goverrment ~ department _reports _ at- « dracting the most interest, the Farm i Board’s forthcoming detailed pamphlet {'on its operations would be a favored entrant. ! The board has been assailed for its | secrecy and mystery. Efforts to pry ‘into its financial condition and wheat holdings have falled. Now, at last, as Tequired by law, Congress—and the too—will learn among other things: How much wheat was bought in stabilization purchases, how much it now owns, what price was paid, what actual losses total thus far, loans made to co-operatives and loans outstanding, and the condition of the board’s treas- ury. . public, Facts Ready for Congress. ‘This information will be transmitted to Congress soon after it convenes | December 7. Other departments — State, Wa Navy, Agriculture and the rest—re ceive ‘annual appropriations for specific purposes. Their financial transactions | rarely gain close attention in the an- | ! nual reports covering the ficsal year | ending the previous June 30. The Farm Board. on the other hand, was given $500.000,000 to help American farmers help themselves through organ- ization into co-operatives and the fos- ‘tering of effective merchandising. { There were few strings attached. . Included in the agricultural market- ing act was the provision for price sta- ! bilization in the event of emergencies. | That proviso led to the formation of grain and cotton stabilization corpora- tions which went into the markets and bought surplus supplies to hold up prices. Long have the public, traders and farmers sought exact facts on the extent of those purchases. They have been told by the board that 1,300,000 bales of cotton were taken at an average price of 16 cents a Found. But only guesses are avail- eble as to wheat. | Lost: Two Horses, | Load of Garbage, Somewhere in City . By the Associated Press.

PROTESTS §$20,000 | FARM BOARD SALARY —_—— | Representative Schafer Tells Wood | Counsel for U. S. Body Gets More | Than Cabinet Members. 1 By the Associated Press. ‘ A protest against paying a $29,000 salary to the. general counsel of the Farm Board was made in a letter today to Representative Wood, chairman of the last House Appropriations Commit- tee, by Representative Schafer. ‘The Wisconsin Republican inclosed a letter from Chairman Stone of the | board stating that Stanley Reed, for- | merly of Maysville, Ky., was appointed counsel in November, 1923, at a salary of $10,000 which has since been doubled. | “If this salary raise in these times of depression is a sample of the way ibe Farm Board expends the many millions of dollars of the taxpayers’ money,” Schafer said, would suggest that eonfine your efforts in your drive for economy toward the abolishment of such board.” | Schafer said this salary was greater | than that of a cabinet officer, and sug- gested abolishment of the board was preferable to reducing salaries of low- paid Federal employes “who are now barely receiving enough compensatis for their services to keep the body and | soul of themselves and their families together.” \ “No doubt,” he said, “a complete and thorough investigation of the entire pay roll of the Federal governmental dej ents will reveal just as many other high salaries almost as inde- fensible as this one.” THE EVENING WOULD ABOLISH 1.
