kind. As a result, our government
which is now spending $44 billion a
year, got on with less than one billion
a year. 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.
