And are the citi- build another hospital? zens and taxpayers able, at this time;-tIsn't the county amply cared for at the present time, with an hospital? These are but a few of the questions being asked by hundreds as the result of the attempt of Richfield citizens to ask the citizens of the county to assist in raising a fund of $25,000, to match an equal amount to be given by the Mormon church, to complete the erection of a hospital at Richfield . The very fact that there is a hospital, modernly equipped, furnished with all the necessary paraphernalia, and centrally located, is sufficient cause to hesitate in carrying out the plans launched by the countyseaters . And would it be the proper move to throttle and tear down the widely known and established hospital that SaSalina , is. lina and the surrounding territory is supporting? located and is convenient for the west, east; north and south more so than. .Richfield would be. Thousands of dollars have been invested in the modern appliances that are to be found in the Salina hospital . The building, it is true, is not as large as it should be, but all who have applied for admittance, have been cared for. If the church wishes to provide ample room, why not cut the proposed appropriation in half, make a saving and enlarge the Salina hospital? We are inclined to believe that Sevier county is amply supplied with hospital facilities, sufficiently so for the present needs and to carry out the proposed plans inaugurated by Richfield, would result in injuring the splendid hospital in Salina. o' To Our Patrons: xe.n-trall- y ...

Secretary Jardine says that the farmers want: Some tariff changes; tax reduction, especially local taxes; 'better credit facilities. Congress would gladly give any or all of these, if it knew exactly what the farmer wants and needs. Although the agricultural tariff was built for the farmer, it could be changed if farmers were able to agree wherein it is either too high or too low. National tax reduction is already an established fact; local taxes are entirely in the hands of local voters. Farm credits are. little. understood by either congress or by farmer organizations; it would be a foolish congress that would pass any sort of credits bill when the farmer does not even know exactly what he wants. This is about the present political situation in regard to farm legislation. y , I CROP PRICE-FIXINDANGEROUS Government fprice-fixin- g seems to be a success in industries, such as railway transportation, electricity, gas, telephone, etc.; but in a highly competitive industry likt agriculture, a professor, of rural economics in a large eastern university says there are two fatal objections to it: First, it will not work; second, it is always done for the consumer as against the producer. He says: for agricultural Government products would work, if at the same time the government regulated wages, profits, middlemens margins, production of all commodities and rationing of all consumers. In short, if the population were enlisted in one would work, but othvast army, directed and rationed, price-fixin- g erwise not. If the price is fixed on the wheat the farmer sells, then he cannot keep on producing wheat if wages or the cost of harvesting machinery rise, or if the cost of other material he buys rises So the next step would be the fixation of other prices and yet other G price-fixin- g prices. "The United States government fixed the price of wheat bul The once, and then it was to benefit consumers, not producers. government might, in an emergency, fix some agricultural prices for the purpose of elevating such prices. Such action would inevitably and speedily lead to outcry from city consumers. The farmer who favors any form of governmental is working against his own interests. He is putting his head into a noose. price-fixin- g A SIMPLE PROBLEM While the United States exports a large quantity of food products of certain kinds, figures recently compiled by the department of commerce show that the countrys imports of foodstuffs nearly equal in value the exports of the same class, says Facts About Sugar. Some of the imported commodities could be produced to advantage within the country. For example, the American people spend annually some for imported sugar. To meet this bill requires the wheat crop of over 8,000,000 acres. But all the sugar now imported could be grown on 2,500,000 acres of sugar beets or sugar cane. In other words, we are throwing away the product of approximately 5,500,000 acres by not growing our own sugar. The economics of this problem are as simple as its arithmetic. . $30,-000,00- 0 A movement has been started for When Queen Marie gets here she a five,-da- y week of work, and its go- wont need lonesome.

Although his seat in the United States senate was contested for several years and his right thereto subjected to a long senatorial investigation, Senator Smoot at once became a leading member of that strong coterie of Republican statesmen which ably lowering prices and' living costs. When the Republicans were restored . to power in all branches of government with the election of President Harding, Senator Smoot became chairman of the Joint Congressional committee on printing and also of the joint committee on Reorganization of the Administrative Branches of the Federal Government, and because of his comprehensive knowledge of all matters relating to the revenues and the tariff, the burden of framing and passing and defending the first emergency tariff bill after the war fell largely upon his shoulders, and when President Wilson vetoed the bill he sponsored the second emergency tariff bill which became a law soon after. President Hardings inauguration. During the debate on the sugar schedules of the 1922 tariff bill, Senator Smoot spoke for two hours and although continually interrupted by members of the opposition, none was able to cope with him and his formidable array of facts and figures.

They are beginning to understand what federal expansion and federal interference with business and personal conduct mean in the destruction of initiative. hampering of industrial and commercial activities and impairment of individual rights and liberties. We have gone far on that road, and there are signs of popular revolt. They are gratifying signs. It is high time for the American people to check the imperial movement. It is high time to decide once and for'all whether we shall retain the republic, or undertake empire; whether we shall have constitutional government, or government from Washington by federal bureaus. This is the big issue, and includes all the lesser issues. St . Louis Post-Dispatc- h. |
