BRANNAN PLAN
By F.L.Kerzie C.P.A.
Cont. from p. 4
money ne nas paia in taxes to help
the farmer maintain a high standard
of living comparable to that of the
skilled city worker. The prices oi
certain farm commodities would be
allowed to seek 'their own level on
the market, and the farmer would be
paid the difference between the
support price and the average mar
ket price...
Moreover, the Brannan plan favors
the operator of the small farm,
Brannan’s subsidies decline as
farmer operations become larger—
something that the factory farmers
oppose. The Brennan plan insists
on prescribed minimum soil^conser
vation practices, acreage allot
ments and marketing quotas. This is
nothing new in our support legisla
tion, but the big farm boys all
fight these features most viciously
Their opposite numbers in industry
also demand and arc getting their
kind of subsidies (tariff)--which
in their free enterprise biblc is i <
not "station", "regimentation" andi
the "welfare state”—you sc. it
fills their pockets, nor does it
gore their oxen, oust another of
our senseless and odious political
contradictions.
I
Anyway the administration boys arc
a bit worried over the effect of
the farm support policy on the vote
of the city folk--Truman ' s r.aster
nind would like to retain the- sure
city vote and rot additional big
chunks of the farmers' votes.
This,ny more or less impudent pen, !
owned by no political party and more
or less despising any kind of ’crats
—be they democrats, ropublocrats,
dixiecrats, plutocrats or just
bureaucrats, shall next v/eek venture
to discuss the highlights of the
Brannan plan, asking for no favor,
nor granting_the least.
History repeats itself: An archeol
ogist reported that Europe touched
America millions of years ago.
