It will also be admitted that inflation (or rising costs) makes difficult or impossible the kind of vdeafe leaving tKe hog producers out in the cold "when lrt ever-increasing amounts compensatory payments arei accorded other groups. For any Iowa business man who depends on the farmer's buying power to oppose pro- services "in'rnany areas that our people need, tectlon to the hog industry is pretty short-sighted, without sofhe 'remedy." can easily be control of compensatory iTo me'it seems absurd that in such a pre- payments so that excessive output is discourag- dicdment people of.

Our Federal government now Intercedes in many ways to guarantee adequate limitation on payments to any one producer, and experience and not theory could be the guide Irt that field. This brings us. back to the tax situation Iowa now collects nearly 69 million a year in sales fax. The Federal government gets compensation for other groups why not tpe revenue from income tax, despite the many hog Nowadays a slight increase in hog production in excess of normal demand results in a big decrease in price. From July 1955 to Dec.

30, 1956, the price of hogs averaged only legal loop holes which allow many wealthy people to pay less than appears on the surface. If a fair compensatory payment for pork production could be worked out, to take effect when pork prices below certain levels if it of parity (or a just price). This in turn lowered jhe did, the income adjustment that would be return- capacity of'Iowa by hundreds of 1J t. millions of dollars. And, strange as it may seem, all the hogs produced and slaughtered were eaten, during that period had anything to do with hogs except the producer benefitted.

During this same period the Interstate Commerce Commission approved a transportation cost increase thus insuring fair compensation for the transportation companies, or a form "of compensation payment from raised rates. There is a guaranteed minimum Wage, unemployment compensation for many types of workers, and a percent for oil companies before What is that but a compensation guarantee? It is absurd for anyone to cry "socialism" everytime someone urges protection of income for hog producers. But it would protect Iowa's greatest, Industry the production of pork. Nearly every civilized, non-Communistic nation on earth has long since found it, necessary to effect some sort of a government guarantee to assure justice for food, producers. a 1957 bulletin issued by the government of Great Britain, it says with reference to food producers: "To secure a stable and efficient agrucltur- ed to 'farmers would immediately be such, that Iowa's own sales and income tax would be maintained or increased, and in turn would get some of it back through higher tax, totals.

The Federal government's budget spends only about of the total on agriculture or associated items, including all present.suppbrts and so-called as well as all services of the U.S.D.A. Compensatory payments to hog producers are worth consideration. And the writer is a farmer, not a hog producer, so there is no per- soficd axe involved here. Yours very truly, GEORGE W.

INTERESTING PROPOSALS Two of the numerous bills now introduced in the state legislature greatly interest us.

One proposes that Iowa repeal its present 111 E. Call CY Iowa aws which mQ coun ti es responsible for the cost of caring for patients from their counties in state mental institutions, and shift this burden to the state. What this change might do is a good subject for discussion. Making the state pay the bill means the state would have to find more revenue to do it. Also, it might make it easier for counties to send more people to already ever- crowded places.

The second bill proposes that the state appropriate $2.2 million dollars of state funds to build a high school and elementary school at Ames. Basis for this request is that many Ames students are children of faculty members or employees of state agencies at Ames. Why the sponsor figures the state should financially solve an Ames problem is not explained any further. Yes, it's a great show, the meeting of the legislature. We don't think President Kennedy has made many mistakes, thus far.

Our only criticism would be that Frank Sinatra could have stayed in Hollywood, without doing Mr, JFK any harm. And we might add for the benefit of the scribes who have found something sinister in JKF's desire to be left alone on the golf course, that he has been playing his golf BEFORE he was sworn into office.
