Barrows, Associate Editor Subscription Rate, per year (anywlirrs in tlie U.S.A.) $2.50 (Advertising Rates Given on Request) BEST CURE Bread may bo the staff of life, but in twentieth century America gasoline runs it a close second. Wide dispersal of suburban residential areas and industrial decentralization have made the inoror vehicle a family essential. Gasoline has Wome a necessity that is consumed in astronomical quantities. Under the stimulant of what one oil company executive has called "the greatest free market the world has ever known," it has been made abundantly available in constantly improved quality by aliigh- ly competitive oil industry at a minimum price. Governmental authorities, quick to spot new sources of tax revenue, began levying t.ixes on gasoline many years ago, pri- marialy for road building purposes. Here, as elsewhere, the pow er of tax lias been abused. Gasoline taxes have become excessive and have been diverted from road building to general govern ment purposes. The best cure for this abuse lies in amendments to state constitutions, which make it mandatory that the funds be used states now have ratified confor roads exclusively. Twenty-fou- r stitutional amendment of this nature and other states have them under consideration. These amendments help to preserve the maximum benefits of the free market and the competitive system, neither of which could exist without our American society which abuse of the taxing power can based upon frecdom-a- nd destroy as surely as the sun rises and sets.

It does not affect agriculture alone. It is everybody's problem. Today your government has $5 billion of your money invested in farm commodities.

This figure is growing daily. You are paying nore than $14 millions each month just to store these surpluses. This bill is growing, too, as additional inventories are accumulated by your government.

S. Then came the Korean War, with new and heavy demands for farm goods of all kinds. Suddenly this situation was rad ically altered. World food pro duction had been climbing since 1946. By 1952 this was exerting strong pressure in the market places. Our wheat exports dropped in a single year, cot by ton by even more. Not only had importing nations Increased their own production, but they found tha they could supply their deduced needs at lower rrices from export ing countries which had no farm price support programs. Just as many American consum ers have turned from butter to less expensive spreads, so have other nations sought cheaper wheat, cot ton and other products. We have learned through some times bitter experience that when the farmer is in trouble, there is likely to be trouble ahead for everybody. This year, net farm in come is expected to be nearly $1 billion less than it was in 1951 And in 1952 it was more than $1 billion below the preceding year While farm income has been dropping, our total national income has actually increased. This disparity cannot continue in an economy such as ours. When the farmer cant buy the products of industry, there are certain to be serious dislocations.
