PROSPECTS FOR AGRICULTURE IN 1923 Twelve months ago most of the million fanners of the United States were starting on the long, hard climb out- of th.e valley of economic depres; sion, They have not yet attained the heights which are bathed in the grate- ful sunshine of prosperity. Some, in- deed, have fallen by the way. Others are still in the valley. Nevertheless, as we stop a bit and look backward we can see that very considerable'ground has been gained by the great majority, and we can enter the New Year with renewed hope and with that courage which comes from the realization that we are really making progress. 'A year ago, when speaking of the prospects for farming in 1922, Secre- tary of Agriculture Wallace said that while there was no reason to expect boom times for the farmer in the near future, there was promise of better times, both for the farmer and for those whose business is largely de- pendent upon him. The yean has brought fulfillment of that promise. Speaking generally, times are better, much better, than a year ago, both for agriculture- and for industry. Crops have ieen good, on the whole. Prices of the major crops are mostly considerably higher. While there has been a corresponding advance in the price of the things the farmer must buy, the total sum which farmers will receive for the crops of this year Is greater by a million and a half dollars or more than that which they received for the crops of last year. This will certainly mean better times on\ the farm, and farm folks will be able to ease up a little on the grinding; •conomy they were forced to practice; the. preceding year. . The labor cost of producing the crops of 1922 was still further reduced. There were some substantial reduc- tions in freight, rates. Much helpful legislation has been enacted and more will De this winter^ Interest rates are lower and the credit strain has been; eased. This has made it possible for many farmers who were rather heavily 1 involved to refund their obligations •nd get themselves in condition to win through. There are still some dark spots. In* some sections weather conditions were unfavorable and crops were short, and farmers in these sections are having a very hard time of it. Freight rates are still too high, especially for those Who must pay for a long haul to market. ' Taxes are high, but this is largely due to the increase in local taxes, over, which farmers themselves must exer- cise control. There has been gratifying growth'' in farmers' co-operative marketing associations, and more of them are being organized on a sound: business! basis. Aside from the help which' has been given by legislation and 'by adminis- tration activities, strong economic forces are: at work to restore a more normal relation between agriculture and other industries. The peril in the: agricultural depres-: »iott|ii more keenly realized by other CANCELLATION MEANS HEAV- IER TAXES .-• The taxpayers of America aad hold- ers of government bonds as well, should feel reassurance from the an* nouncement of Congressman Burton, a member of the International Debt: Funding Commission, that he is op~ posed to cancellation. He is in accord with the spirit of the law enacted by Congress. Within the unpleasant memory of several millions of holders of Liberty;.! bonds, those securities were selling at 85 cents on the dollar. If events should disclose a probability that the United States- would yield to the debt canr cellation propaganda, there can be no doubt that those bonds would again drop to 85 cents or less. Confidence that this administration or any other administration that can be elected will not cancel the debts; keeps^-the bonds near par in the markets of the country. But a drop in the market Value of Liberty bonds is the least of the evils that \would result from cancellation. The\ foreign debts amount to $11,000,' 000,000, a small part of which prob- ably will never be paid. But the greater part of the debt will be paid in time, with the same rate of interest! the United States is paying for the money it borrowed to' loan to Europe. The 'United States now has outstand- ing a funded debt of some $23,000,000,- 000, nearly half of which represents borrowed to loan to Europe. The peo- ple of the United States must tax themselves to' pay off, some $12,000,- 000,000 of those bonds\ in any event, and, if they cancel the European debts, they must tax themselves to pay off the whole amount. This country is how staggering un- der the burden of taxation. Sales of real estate for taxes are not uncom- mon: and the whole financial system of the country is disturbed as each tax^ paying day comes around. This' bur-^ den would be greatly increased by the cancellation-of the debts, necessitating provision for payment of all the bonds and interest by the people of this coun- try instead of - a due proportion by other nations that got the money raised on about $11,000,000,000 of the securities. Mr. Burton very appropriately calls attention to the fact that the propor- tionate increase since 1914 of debt and taxation in the United States has been greater than: that, of our principal associates who were engaged in the war; There has been a general ten- dency to accept the theory that Europe alone is groaning under a burden of debt and taxation. Under our compli- cated system of federal, state, county and municipal taxes, it is practically inipo.ssible to make definite compari- sons but it may reasonably be doubted whether the people of any of our asso- ciates in the war are now paving more heavily into public treasuries than are the people of the United States. Debt cancellation propaganda should be earnestly resisted by eVery Ameri- can taxpayer and by every owner of United States bonds. After reading the Senate committee : pamphlet one i s inclined***' wonder what difference it makes how high the tariff is placed on a number of im- ported articles. It doesn't appear:as if the tariff plays .any sort of a figure in the price charged to the ultimate consumer. That tariff charge could very handily be absorbed by the whole- saler and the retailer, and still there would be left a profit of easiljr 100 per cent. Unfortunately, however, that doesn't appear to be. the way tariffs work. Tariffs are not only passed on toTthe consumer, but they are passed on with interest.T^Grand Rapids News.

JONES Our Staff Correspondent \Saving Europe 'It is almost eight'years since Eu- rope began calling on the New World that the bloc will block enough legis- lation to force an extra session of Congress, at which their numbers will be far greater than at present.

Before the European war none of the European nations wished the: United States to exercise .any influ-: ence whatever in the Near East, or in any other quarter of the globe outside the domains of this country. They even objected to the Monroe Doctrine, which concedes to this country a dominant, position in the western hemisphere. Their objection to the\ United States exercising any influence in the world affairs prior to the World: War was an objection .based upon selfishness. Their desire at this: time to have ttie United States a most active participant in world affairs is likewise based upon selfishness. There is no idealism con- nected with it, Their whole purpose of .involving this government is Jn order to have this country equip and finance Europe, to supply directly or indirectly the means wherewith Eu- rope will continue to wage wars for purposes of territorial and commercial aggrandizement.^—Brooklyn (,N, Y.) Standard -Union. | teristics to human life. The present trouble'we are told is SACRIFICES FOR PEACE AS IMPORTANT AS FOR WAR . A dispatch from Rome announces that the Fascisti have decided to raise a fund of some $250,000,000 by popiib lar subscription throughout Italy to cover this year's deficit in the national budget. It is hoped thus to return to solvency, and so to prosperity and strength. A popular gift of so great a sum to government sounds beyond reason or possibility, but we believe it is not impossible. The Fascisti now form the one government in the world which is applying the principles of patriot- ism, such as have always been re- served for war, to the equally \pressing problems of peace-. They have worked up a sentiment of patriotism and na- tionalism such as has never been known to develop, except under the;| spur of war. In such a situation all normal limitations are swept aside. Nothing seems impossible. We in America, and the peoples of all other civilized countries,- have 'been accustomed all our lives to hearing and reading that peace has 'its prob- lems no less than wan We have been instructed from childhood that patriot- ism is one of the highest attributes of the human race, and that true patriot- ism must be as ready-to Saorificirfor the nation in peace as in -war. Most of us-believe it. The great-middle class of the world is firm in its adherence to the theory\. Ottf weak point is that, in time of peace, when we do not see ourselves and bur country in any im- mediate danger, we are inclined to took upon it chiefly as a theory instead of a fact. The rise of the Fascisti in Italy gives us a concrete illustration of the acceptance of this theory as a rule of life. Theirs is & magnificent* example of the bourgeois uprising and con- solidation for home and country, in contrast to the proletarian theories of Communism and internationalism, It means sacrifice. They know it, and they accept the necessity. It appears how that it may mean a mdrallevy of $250,000,000 upon -capital. They are not even afraid of that. We could accomplish \such an achievement in: war- But could We in peace? We doubt-it.

THE TARIFF NOT TO BLAME Some - amazing revelations about prices for imported manufactured goods are made in a communication from the Secretary of the Treasury to the Comniittee- on Finance of the United States Senate and recently given out in a pamphlet printed* for that committee. The communication shows that the difference between the cost of imported goods landed at the port of New York, all duties and trans- portation costs paid, and- tha price.to the consumer in New York is stagger- ing. . It_ahow». that,-some- one- has tacked 176 to 2,600 per cent to the landed coat THE NEW YEAR The new year offers to everyone its opportunities' and its problems. The wise will benefit by the expe- riences of the past and will try to do better in a material way in the hew year than they did in the old. : The ambitious will endeavor to do in the new year some of the things that were left undone in the past, years. New opportunities will be^presented and new problems must be confronted. . To those: who have had deep sorrow in the past year, -the new year will help to lessen the sorrow; for as the new years come and go, the wounds of sorrow are healed by time. The new year will bring its joys to many as well as its sorrows. But if at the beginning of the year, 1924; we cannot look back over the year 1923, and recall something that We have; done to make Someone else more- happy, then we have missed: an oppor- tunity; if in the new year we are un- able to help uplift someone else, if we have not made our own lives stronger, and more noble by helping to make some other life: stronger and more noble, then we haVe IWed the year, 1922, without improving all of our opportunities. If at the end of this \ coining year, we find that, we have hot helped to make the load of someone lighterj then we will have missed 0 great Messing; for during the Hew year, we will all find the fullest com- pensation by the knowledge: that we hive been of v some service to someone else and that we have really done something': worth while. Unless we ire able t o discover in oiir inventory^a year hence that we have done something of this sort during the year 1923,, our other accomplishments; regardless of what they are, will be hollow. \WELFARE\ RAID ON ALBANY January first will'find the usual number of raiders advancing up Capi- toffliil. From every corner of the state they will soon'be marching, with legislative proposals which tax the money and patience of the average citizen. Many of the pilgrims have grown footsore and weary, plodding up the approach to the state Capitol. Fir3t one legislative fad and then another has enlisted their interest, but soon they march on, untiring in their zeal; Chief among those who have the legislative^ bee in their bonnets are the proponents of the so-called \wel- fare\ legislation. Ever shice 1918 they hive made Albany their Mecca. Up to date, their efforts to restrict the wages and hours of work of women arid hamper the industrial future A of women by non- workable laws, has been in vain. Recently pronouncements 'indicate that this same group, consisting chiefly of women of wealth and leisure; will renew their efforts. Acting under the illusion that they are helping the ''poor working girl,\ they will once again endeavor to fix a wage standard for women and to prevent women com- peting with men workers by limiting their hours of employment. Wheii the welfare workers reach Albany this winter, they will find that their path will not be a bed of roses, due to the efforts of the working women themselves. • L The Equal , Rights Association, headed by Mrs. Ada R. Wolf?, has announced that it i s out to champion the best interests of women who work for a living. The association's mem- bership is composed entirely of women who are real workers, and it is pledged to fight to the uttermost any legisla- tion which, threatens to impede their progress. The coming legislative session prom- ises to be an interesting and lively one, for there seems little doubt hut that the welfare program will again he the! subject of bitter agitation* traceable to a tremendous \reparations battle\ now being staged in European capitals by nations, all of which ad- mit that, their treasuries have -ieeri; stone-broke' for. iriany, many years.

'Gompers is the head of the'organized labor movement- ;in the United States; while Hooper is;l chairman of the United States Rail- road Labor ,Bbard. Hooper argues that \the statesmen, who drafted our Constitution fully realized the danger of self-destruction inherent in popular government,- and -they made the judk cial department a. seawall against de- structive tidal waves of'popular.senti- ment.\ Gompers doesn't'gfve-a snap' of his finger for \irihereht\ claims of the judicial department of popular government, and he would sooner hold a referendum'to recall a judicial de- cision than to-aay it was right if he thought otherwise.

Benjamin Franklin Rogers was, Ibprriin the town of Tyre, Seneca coun- ty, January 2, 1833; and was for a, number of years' a prominent figure in business in northern Wayne county until: he met with financial reverses about forty years ago. He acquired a farm of 250 acres pn Great Sodus Bay and on a commanding slope planned the site of what, was to h e the'city of Sodus Bay; He laid out streets arid parks and commenced the erection of a large ttvree-story brick and stone hotel; When the building was partly completed he met with financial trou- ble arid lost the property. Mr. Rogers built the first fruit evaporating plant in the state on this farm. It burned a few years ago. In the center of the building was a huge screw built of Wire netting upon which the fruit was placed and hot air was pumped or. sucked through the screw by means of a huge blower. It was a failure. Later he built a brick tower fruit evaporator which was a partial suc- cess. It still stands ori the farm, but the equipment has been: removed; Mr. Rogers retired to Lyons and engaged in the fire insurance business which fie later disposed of to Luther S.'Lake arid removed to Syracuse, where fdr some years he was in the real estate business, finally returning to Lyons about ten years ago to make his home with his children.
