The costliest way
to operate your car
is to run it with
out servicing it until
something goes wrong.
on the infamous ^.F.of L. preamble,
LISTEN FARM WORLD-_
Cont.from page 3
Parity to the best of my reading
means that the farmer's prices will
bo sometime, somewhere or everywhere
and always equal to the prices of all
other things human beings deal in or
just of.labor and industrial products
To talk about parity you must adopt
some common yardstick as F.D.R. •irht
have said. But just what that will
be, the .Lord in heaven only can rea
son out, i sure cannot. What and
how can I aa .mare the farmer's pro
duct and his labot with the factory
product and the factory worker —to
me the whole thing just does not make
sense, no more than if I compared
the physician's craniotomy with the *
accountant's labor in computing long,
tedious and difficult effective rates
of inter-st for let us say 172 equal
payments, refunding the-'principal
and interest in equal ihstallments,
if you know what I am talking about.
The truth of ‘tire matter is the..doc
tor charges whatever he can get a
way with, and so does the accountant.
Neither of the two can'make any sense
out of the value* of their take in
setting up dollars and cents, and
neither can a’good farmer fell What
his just yardstick should 'be; All
talk otherwise is just sand in the
eyes. Moreover, before you‘Can even
talk of the farmer’s parity, you must
first stabilize the purchasing value
of the dollar or your parity formula
will become just an irresponsible
jumping jack. Now try and stabilize
the dollar. Nobody ever did-nor ever
will. --.Iso, to get 'anywhere, step on
the.farmer’s greed and keep him from
overproducing, just as we should stop
toting the dictum that the worker
musTi continue to aomana more ana more p.ay ana that ne is never paid
enough. Begorra, even 3t. Karl Marx never dared assert that one.
But, and now I am mighty serious, to do to the farmer justice as he must
sell at an equitable price, let us see that his products find a market.
The first best market will be the submerged ten million American families
or roughly 32 million individuals of whom Senator Sparkman in his very
recent inquisition speaks thusly: "The unfilled wants'* of the 32 million
individuals "constitutd a great undeveloped economic frontier--a vast and
expansible market for the product of American industry. The low incomo
families have been left behind in the economic progress of America: ." '
Bring parity to those at the same tine. I suggest the following: First,
reduce and limit the currently prevailing barbarous industry profits;
second, establish governmentally controlled rayons of national labor in
order permanently to continue reforestation everywhere where it is de
sirable, to eliminate floods, to construct hatobors and new necessary
highways, and so many other capital investment projects. To do this
well and sensibly y0u will at once have to reform the stupid national
budget and the various state budgets, as well as put steel-bits into the
mouths of irresponsible and wastrel high brass.
Nov; then, lot Brannan, Goss, Patton and Kline fight it out with tho
A.F.of L. and the C.I.O. kibitzing on the side linos. They all will got
just nowhere, republicans and dixiocrats being what they are, clubbing
together so nicely sub rosa at tho nation’s steering wheel. You see,it
is my sincere conviction that Brannan, Goss and Patton really speak tho
language, but will not admit it, being on different sides of tho politi
