Sequoyah County Times
Okla
by RAYMOND GARY
Oklahoma farmers must be
scratching their heads over the
latest proposal that the shit) pay
a sizeable portion of the cost of
drouth relief
What this amounts to is zisk-
ing our state farmers to accept
another new tax on themsu1ve-1
Only by levying a TIC tax could
the state possibly pay this added
cost and our farmers would cer
thinly be required to hand over
their share
This seems a strange way of
offering help to farmers squeezed
between drouth and low nrices on
one hand and constantly i king
costs on the other If there's
anything Oklahoma farmers can
do without right now it's a new
tax to pay
For many years farmers have
watched other segments of our
society prosper more than ever
before I'm sure they're happy
to see this prosperity because
only people with money in their
pockets provide a good demand
for foodstuffs
They can't be blamed however
for wanting to get in on a little
of the prosperity themselves Too
many have had to sell out and
head for the cities because the
things they bought were twice as
high and the things they sold a
lot lower
Compounding the farmer's wor-
ries in Oklahoma has been our
Fresh
exteried drouth Thh fin hi
breaking thousands of farmers
4 ho before had only been badly
bent
I think most people agree it'
all right to provide aid to nevki y
foreign natias tf that help can
preserve world peace The lcd-
erid goci ntnent petriing
lions tor this purpose and helping
raise the NVOrlaS 1iin 1's standard
as a it suit
If we can afford to do this
surely Vt-f' Call Zi cord to vivo
drouth roltr to our own needy
farmers out of the biggest federal
budget in history We hould be
able to do so without levying new
taxt's at the state level
Economies may be needed but
not Fit expense tif 4:114mill-stricken
farmers Their bcits ztre tight
enough
A continuation of the present
situation could cause the family
size farm to vanish from the Ok-
lahoma landscape The little fel-
low vtlio pays interest Oil Zi
gage xvho can't use his machint i y
to full advantage because of a
linnted number of acres is on the
way- out
Ile can't compete in today's
market Ile needs a break in
both weather and pi ice or tone
larger nearby landowner will lake
over his acreage
I doubt if this is good for our
economy Often the larger Lind-
