The Kev West Citisen KEY WEST, FLORIDA, Managing Money : By RADER WINGET (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Nov. 1.— The American farmer, har- vesting his crop at the close of a disappointing year, turns east, eager to find rays of hope from the new “Roosevelt dollar.” Restoration of the balance in|* the price structure is the hope held out by the new monetary pro- gram of the government. President Roosevelt told . the ion, “The government policy. . jas been gradually to restore a balance inthe price structures so that farmers may exchange their} products’ for the products of indus- {try on a fairér exchange basis.” The government gold purchase plan was announced as a policy to accompany a rise in the American commodity price level. Farm Benefit Seen The farmer in the field stands to profit most by this price in-}, crease if it materializes. In the new government mone- tary policy are provisions for rais- | ing commodity prices. Quotations ied which gold will be purchased ‘domestically are to be made from time to time through the Recon- Finance Corporation, and as the domestic gold price in terms of dollars increases the theory is that prices on other com- modities will increase in about the same ratio.

The radio prescription system works out about as follows: A captain of a ship, two days out from a_port and scheduled to be a week or more at sea before a stop; radios a report to the shore station of the illness of a member of the crew or a passenger. Then questions and answers fly back and forth through the air. When the doctor on shore gets! sufficient information he radios his prescription to the ship cap- tain. If necessary he gets further reports as to effects of the treat-: ment, and decides on any needed) change of remedies.

Should the new plan operate ef- feetively, the spread between’ the prices paid to the farmer and the prices at which commodities are sold to the consumer should be reduced. This is based on an economic theory which contends that in the price paid by the consumer are certain fixed charges, such as for: distribution which would not rise so rapidly. Thus, the theory holds, the price to the farmer would in- crease two or three times while the fixed charges represented in the consumer price would increase only slightly, Aids Alread Operating A move toward equalization of farm prices has been sought in’ part through acreage retirement and processing taxes on several commodities, and the Agriculture Adjustment Administration has extended numerous aids to the distressed, farmer. ‘county should pay their taxes. j formation regarding delinquents. tary policy is a stimulant.
