DANGERS AND REMEDIES
OF INFLATION
(Continued from page I)
About two months ago I was in
conversation with a stockman who
has spent a lifetime in that line of
business and who told me he had
been through two depressions and
each time lost heavily, but he stated
he was playing safe this time and
never expected to get caught again.
Later as we looked at his cows I
asked him what value he placed on
them and he said he would not sell
them for $100 each. Shortly before
that time I was looking through some
inspection reports this man had
made for me in 1934 and I noticed
that he had placed a value of $20 per
head on best Hereford cows with
cuts-out at $15.
Neither the $20 or the $100 value
is a normal one. I am well acquaint-
ed with a stockman who in 1929, sold
steers for $175 per head, in 1934 he
sold the same kind of cattle for $36.-
85 but again this year he received
$171. He is still in business because,
regardless of the price of erttle on
the market, he owns his cat'le out-
right, never owes any money on
them.
Inflation Is a Disease
It is one that must be fought with
bitter ill-tasting medicine—It is a
fever of the body economic—you
might say a price fever. It is the out-
ward sign of disease. And we should
bear in mind that few if any people
make any money out of disease.
Most of you have been through pe-
riods of inflation-—you recall how
easily such a situation slips up on
you—and how sadi the awakening is
later on. The thing to do is to avoid
getting into such a situation. The
trouble is that inflation period is
over and depression has been in op-
eration about six months before we
learn about it. We saw that happen
locally last spring — experienced
stockmen were purchasing calves
and steers and paying up to 18c per
pound for very ordinary cattle right
here in our stock pens. And a prop
in cattle prices was already on but
they did not know it. Now, six
months later, they have heard ‘.he
news.
Odd Characteristics of Inflation
It is invariably fault of the other
fellow. What you and I do is not in-
flationary. Hay is selling in this vi-
cinity for $22.50 pel' ton—'take it or
leave it. The reason of course is the
increased cost of seed, fuel and labor.
The farmer must have more to get
by. Ceiling prices have stabilized
costs of many articles. The merchant
cries about ceiling prices but I gath-
er he is making money. The farmer
cries about it but he goes on farming.
OPA is now trying to adjust ceiling
on apple prices in a way that will
stop the howl that has gone up from
the apple growers—they are really
crying—but on the other hand I am
griping because I have to pay 60c
to 70c per dozen for apples that I
have heretofore purchased for about
half that money.
A man cut the grass and cleaned
up my yard one day last week. When
he came for his money he asked $3.50
for the j'ob. He also said, “You think
that is too much?" and when I re-
plied that it was a lot of money he
answered: “Well, I gave 70c yester-
day for a dozen eggs and gave 8c a
pound for sweet potatoes." He said
further that if prices of what I buy
will decline to the old levels I will
be glad to work again for $1.50 per
day. I had more money in those days
than I have now.
What Are Some of the Causes of
Inflation?
Desire to get rich. It is a race in
which various groups in the popula-
tion strive to inch their incomes
ahead faster than other groups. La-
bor is trying to get ahead of indus-
try. The farmers are trying to keep
up with organized labor but are hav-
ing a hard time because they have no
well organized unit sufficiently
strong to control agricultural pro-
duction. It is a race which no one
can win.
Inflation consists of having to pay
more for less. There is more money
in the hands of the consumer for
paying and there is a smaller volume
of goods to sell. That is when the
bidding begins.
Every one of us feels that he is not
getting what is coming to him. The
merchant wants more goods and no
ration restrictions—let the people
Spend their money, he says. The
farmer wants a price floor under his
products but leave the ceiling off and
let the demand fix the top price. In-
dustry wants a profit that will take
care of depreciation and high taxes
and pay increased profits to the own-
ers. We salaried or white collar men
will tell you that wages have dou-
bled, trebled and sometimes quadru-
pled in the past two years while our
salaries have not advanced. The
present high tax and high cost of liv-
ing is really cutting our throats so
we think, but we are still hanging
on.
The fact is we live in an economic
jworld which is continually pulled
back and forth by inflationary and
deflationary influences. In normal
times we call it the law of supply
and demand.
At the present time inflationary
influences are in power as always
happen when nations are at war. We
certainly have inflation now and ap-
pear to be getting more of it every
day despite government regulations.
The excessive expansion in the
quantity of money or other govern-
ment obligations encourage inflation.
Excessive confidence in the busi-
ness situation, resulting in excessive
borrowing for speculative gains.
Remedies of Inflation
Very simple: Let the gas out of the
balloon before it bursts.
How? Pay all your debts and pay
them as\ rapidly as possible. And do
not contract any new debts on a long
time basis.
Make ordinary purchases only on
a cash basis—do away with install-
ment buying.
Do not expand your business ex-
cept from your* cash profits.
If you plan to purchase business
property, check on the prospective
demand or usefulness of it. Is it
priced right now, or is it already in-
flated? If it is a farm what of the
post war demand for present crops.
What will its earning capacity be in
.normal times?
Good farm property purchased at
a fair price and free of debt cannot
lead its owner into financial difficul-
ties if he is a competent farmer and
able to operate it himself. It should
show good profits in present infla-
tionary period and pay the cost of
operation in times of depression,
z If you contemplate purchasing a
home: Ask yourself, will >t increase
or simplify my other economic prob-
lems?
Invest in government bonds.

Whether you buy bonds or not, you
are going to pay for them. Do not
forget that. The government is going
to get the money to fight this war.
If you do not lend it your money, it
will tax you and take it away from
you. If it cannot get the money any
other way it will manufacture it
with the printing press or increase
in the valuation of our gold resehve.
That will cheapen the dollars you
now have.
Purchase life insurance That is
one of the best investments you can
make because it helps you as well
as your government. You purchase
life insurance and the Insurance Co-
takes the money and purchases War
Bonds. Buy insurance and pay pre-
miums several years ahead. Buy a
$1,000 or a $2,000 policy and pay for
it in one premium, a lump sum. The
discount is attractive and there is
an immediate increase in the value
of your estate.
To my mind the two best invest-
ments on the market today are Gov-
ernment Bonds and Life Insurance.
The financial health of the nation
is dependent upon the financial
health of the individual.
Each individual is responsible
for his own financial future.
Each individual should work and
save now to hold down prices and
insure his future benefits.
Depressions follow inflation. Who
will it affect? All of us, but most of
fall it will affect the man who goes
into debt.
