Remedy in Hands of People The average retail price of gasoline has decreased more ttian 4$ per cent In ten years, while the gasoline tax rate has toereased 2650 per cent, adding 13 to 52 per cent to the price of fuel These two facts are the highlights of a survey re- Mntly made In fifty representative cities of the nation. On ^ixcb 1, 1931, the average retail price of gas. exclusive ot ta was 14 46 cents per gallon as compared with 28.25 cents ta 1121 The average tax was 3.86 cents per gallon as com- ptnd with .0014 in I$31 when only 16 states taxed gasoline.

American Industrial Mgiremacy, like American progress and prosperity, has large¬ ly resulted from the application of the principle of mass pro- dnetlon and distribution to many lines of business. The troubles of the farmer have to a great degree been' auied by a lack of collective effort. Overproduction has re- Milted from undirected production. Poor farm prices have been partially the result of the fact that farmers are with¬ out to bargain. Only bv cooperation and organization can a prosperous igricultural future be assured. When ten thousand or a hundred thousand farmers band together and deniand a fail- deal and profltable prices for their produce their chances of getting it are infinitely better than if each farmer did busi¬ ness wholly en his own. The pi-esent trcr.d toward cooper¬ ative marketing is a bright sign on the agricultural horizon. Boosterettes Take an "I can't," but never an "I won't,' lomethlng good (or Nazareth.

The average retail price of gasoline has decreased more ttian 4$ per cent In ten years, while the gasoline tax rate has toereased 2650 per cent, adding 13 to 52 per cent to the price of fuel These two facts are the highlights of a survey re- Mntly made In fifty representative cities of the nation. On ^ixcb 1, 1931, the average retail price of gas. exclusive ot ta was 14 46 cents per gallon as compared with 28.25 cents ta 1121 The average tax was 3.86 cents per gallon as com- ptnd with .0014 in I$31 when only 16 states taxed gasoline.
The gas tax is Justified in behalf of good roads, but leg- Idstors are busy running it to death. Last year the states Elected l522.n0.Ml from the tax. a new high record, in spite aS» fact that less gasoline was used in 1930 than in 1929.

Building A Prosperous Future For The Farmer
Today we live in a cooperative age. American Industrial Mgiremacy, like American progress and prosperity, has large¬ ly resulted from the application of the principle of mass pro- dnetlon and distribution to many lines of business.
The troubles of the farmer have to a great degree been' auied by a lack of collective effort. Overproduction has re- Milted from undirected production. Poor farm prices have been partially the result of the fact that farmers are with¬ out to bargain.
Only bv cooperation and organization can a prosperous igricultural future be assured. When ten thousand or a hundred thousand farmers band together and deniand a fail- deal and profltable prices for their produce their chances of getting it are infinitely better than if each farmer did busi¬ ness wholly en his own. The pi-esent trcr.d toward cooper¬ ative marketing is a bright sign on the agricultural horizon.
