Miller,} The thunder over OPA food price ceilings still rolls along the Congressional front. It is rolling over the heads of the administra tion. Part of the thunder lies at the door of nine different agencies dealing with food. They are the Food Administrator, the Depart ment of Agriculture, the Office of Price Administration, Lend Lease Administration, Board of Eco nomic Welfare, Army, Navy, Man Power Commission, and War Pro duction Board. There are many conflicting ideas among these agencies. The result has been con fusion and an intoxication from ideas which have created not only chaos but a genuine food short age in this country. Many men in Congress and in the administration are urging that all problems relative to food be placed in one one department un der one head. The Food Admin istrator should have complete au thority over food production, dis tribution, price fixing and ration ing. We need personnel and top men in the administrator’s office who have faith and confidence in private enterprise. We need men who will encourage agriculture and help eliminate confusion and red tape. The Agirculture Depart ment may get the job If it goes to the Agriculture Department, many of the economic theorists who infest the OPA will be left off the gdvernment payroll. It seems possible tnat those in authority will eventually roll back the price of food products on to the farmer. The payment of subsidies at a time when the worker has more money in his pocket than at any other time creates inflation. The payment of subsidies to the middleman for food really makes the food cost more to the consumer because there is the huge administrative expense which will be necessary to put in effect such a program. I have often said that the folks living on the farm raising their own foodstuffs are in a much hap pier position than those living in the city who must buy everything they consume. The raising of a Victory garden and the preserving of the products will be a fine cushion against inflation. My office has received more than 100 telegrams protesting the subsidy on meat and food prices. Congress has indicated that they are opposed to subsidies, so the thunder rolls on over the heads of those who deal with food pro duction. The test will come next week when the OPA appropria tion bill Is before the House. Price ceilings are not being maintained. This means black markets. It is estimated that 25 percent of the meat in the east goes through the black markets. When people have money to spend and there is little to buy, it forces up not only the price of food but the other things in de mand by the individual with a pocket bulging with money. Other countries have tried the same method that we are now using to hold down inflation and they have failed. The administration is demand ing new taxes. There may be a forced saving plan put into op eration. There is some talk of a general sales tax of 10 percent, with the necessities of life ex empt. There may be a higher tax on luxury items. The records of the Treasury Department show that the United States is spending about 200 million dollars a day. After the war it is expected that the United States will have nearly fifty billion dollars in un used materials. Yesterday I sup ported the measure which will give a congressional committee some control along with the Bud get Bureau in disposing of the surplus war products. The United States has title to more than 375 s million acres of land The records1 ’ fr— ' rn 1 --- Brighten The Comer Where You Are!

This accumulation of land for defense areas and activ ities has thrown a great burden on to county and state officials. It takes property off of the tax rolls. Seventy-one years ago this week the one-cent post card was inaugurated. Congress this week re-enacted the three-cent postage on letters. Twenty-six years ago this week General Pershing landed in Eng land. I don’t think he said any thing at that time about the boys returning in 26 years. Six months after he went to England the war was over. Let us hope it is a good omen. Mr. and Mrs. Morris Harmon of Scottsbluff left Sunday, after spending the week-end here vis iting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lowell Johnson. ' ' w KEEP YOUR WAR BONDS UNDER LOCK AND KEY PERHAPS you have never had a safe de posit box. Well, don't let that keep you from renting one now. Those War Bonds of yours are important property and should have safe deposit protection. True, they are registered—which means that only the right ful owner can collect on them. BUT, their loss would cause you inconvenience and mental anguish. So rent a box for them, and for your other valuable papers such as insurance poli cies, mortgages and deeds. The cost is small.
