The first subsidy was that of the protective tariff. This was i just as much of a subsidy to manu- ! facturers as parity support is now to the farmers. It is very difficult to ■ get tariffs removed after they have . once been put on the books. The next I subsidy was given to those who i would build and operate steamboats. | These subsidies have constantly been I increased rather than diminished. In the meantime, pension subsidies were given to Civil. War veterans, then j to Spanish War veterans, and later j tc World War veterans. These subsi dies started in a small way, but here ' again, they have constantly increased. Labor has received a subsidy by gov ernment supporting labor unions and permitting us consumers to be as- 1 sessed for increased wages. Perhaps the greatest subsidy is that paid to unneeded government employees. To supply these and oth er funds income taxes were invent ed. It is well to remind younger read ers that the normal income tax in 1913 was only 1 or 2 per cent and the highest tax for the richest people went up to only 5 per cent. This has gradually been increased so that the normal is now over 20 per cent and taxes gradually increase so‘that the rich people pay over 90 per cent. Hence, the farmer is justified in ask ing that he likewise be taken care of as well as these useless govern ment employes in unnecessary gov ernment bureau?. Many talk of parity as a tempo rary affair, but I can assure farmers that it will be just as permanent as tariffs, soldiers’ pensions, labor leg islation and income taxes. The par i ity program may be adjusted from t time to time in accordance with gen eral business conditions, but farm ■ ers can depend upon it forevermore. ! I forecast that from now on what ever the administration the tfarmer I will be taken care of as he should be The above is one reason why I ana optimistic on good farm property as insurance. Large commercial farms may be attacked as other large corporations, although they also de serve protection. I believe, however, that the small sustenance farms which are fairly near good commun ities are an excellent insurance. Ev ery family should own such a sus tenance form somewhere. This does not mean to leave a good city job and go into farming as a business. I do not recommend small farming as a business, but I do rceommend it as an insurance, and as a place to live and get your food, clothing and necessary shelter in case of World War III. Furthermore, as people wake up to the importance »of such in surance, these ifarms will become more in demand and hence, should be a good investment if bought at a right price.
