THE FARMER'S PLIGHT _ _ _ _ As a result of the study of the price trends of ten crops and ':**; classes of livestock and livestock proddc'ts for the last five s, the National Industrial Conference Board has come to the "*' that while those things which the farmer buys has in-- _ ereased more than 100 per cent in price in 1920 over I914 and ? about 86 per cent higher in 1923, the value of an acre of e 'grops stood only 31 'per cent higher than in 1914. Further-- _ more, the purchasing value was only 71 per cent of the 1914 value. _ These figures are not only quite accurate but have been compiled _ en very conservative data, and not designed to "fool oneself". _ _ For several years the view has been widespread that the farm-- ' er has not been bearing his share of the burden of contributing _! oward the support of the Federal, State and Local governments. . It.will doubtless come as a surprise to many economists, as wdl' -- @s authorities on agriculture, to learn that as a matter of fact the. _ farmer appears to be overtaxed rather than undertaxed. The con-- _ ference board in its exhaustive analysis on tax burdens and ex-- w::ns, finds that as a matter of fact the American farmer is 'ming more than his share of the nation's tax bill, and has been _' . for some time. . j 6: Lake county is being "blessed" with too much human wreck-| that floats in from other places and the result is that we are wding the insane asylums and houses of correction. > many other communities there is a practice of giving un-- mnates the air and they are thrust upon communities that mld not be burdened with the responsibilities of caring for them. _ In Lake county, however, these people land in the jails be-- se the officials have never made a practice of chasing them ) other communities. They are given hearings in Lake county d sent to state institutions. Within the past few days a flqoater m Racine was picked up in Waukegan and sent to Elgin. A e youth also blew into Zion and his condition was such hat he--was taken into custody. He is now awaiting his turn to get into the crowded Illinois state institution for feeble--minded. The care of insane and feeble--minded sent to institutions is charg-- ed mgainst the county which had them committed. As this is a permanent expense the Lake county officials should be careful not ) send up these unfortunates unless they are bonified residents: of this county. In the Racine and Milwaukee cases both fellows ~a ntly had just dropped into the county, having been chased .«* of Wisconsin. They should be sent back to where they for-- meerly residea. g"iv . The practice of chasing morons from one community to an-- _ other should be abolished, too. It may seem the easiest way, but it new crimes in every community to which they are whinted. Communities, like individuals, often shift responsibility. 1 DEAD IN AUTO ; ~ TOLL IN COUNTY ' _ OVER WEEK END _ _A Kansas farmer has a mowing machine he has used every season since 1861 and a binder that he has used 40 years with a total repair bill of 90 cents.

Brown, naval paymaster ,charged . with "Aesertion and a shortage of $124,000 in his ac-- counts, had been found guilty on both counts by a courtmartial board which had been sittips at the North Island naval air station during the last week. Members of the court, aiter deliberating an hour, left the air sta-- tion at 3:40 o'clock after anrouncing that a verdict had been reached. Under naval procedure, had Lieut. Brown been found not guilty on either of the counts he would -- have been called before the court and the vyer-- dict read to him. The findings of the court are to be sent to the judge ad-- vocate general in Washington. Brown was stationed in the pay-- master's department at Great Lakes a few years ago and was well known in and about the station.
