friend bill ferguson a few days ago right in the middle of yonge street he was going one way i another i grabbed him by the arm and pulled him over to my own side of the street still holding on i said in the language of the day whats cookin bill ill tell you when we get away from this noise he said i can think on a tractor but not on yonge st then we slipped into a restaurant which is usually quiet at 3 oclock in the afternoon he took a chicken sandwich i took onion soup bill is- a farmer one of the best he is intelligent reads a great deal does it critically and with understanding there are few more alive to the real thing of life more capable of expressing their views bill i said whats likely to be the big problem of the farmer in the next ten years his prompt answer was price disequil ibrium the tendency of some prices to rise and others to fall and taxes which often rise and rarely fall now where do we go frorff here well bill 1 said the past is fairly clear we both know it a fairly steady price decline from confederation to 1s95 then a slow upward crawl to the opening of world war i the peak the highest in our time was in 1920 then down the grade again to world war ii then up we didnt go so high in the recent war bill but who knows what may come in the aftermath taxes he said may be a bigger problem heres the picture as i see it we are going along steady enough to all appearances grain prices relatively high likely to go to lower levels animal pro ducts high over the average of the years the price level of farm products is fairly close to the level of manufactured products but the thing that struck us during the depression was the drop in prices of farm products will that come again the world is making a desperate effort to produce more food guess the answer to that riddle now lightup the tax prob lem for me that too is a puzzle i answered all i can give you is a fact or two i jotted them down a few days ago when i was trying to look ahead take a note of these ordinary expenditures of the federal government were 413- 000000 in 1939 the estimate for 194748 is 1382000000 these are just ordinary expenditures no war in this where are the big jumps here are a few of them interest on public debt between 1939 and 1948 increased by 326- 000000 family allowances increas ed 263000000 we didnt have them in 1939 pid age pensions and other health expenditures brought the total in this department to 332000000 theres 658000000 in those two bites the public is howling for more social services good bait for votes at election time the plea in effect is this all these things will i give you in exchange for your freedom free social services are basis of the tax bill were it not for that prospect we could make a guess at the future we shall have to pay more in antici pation of future years the price will be high the big items in the budget now are war demobilization and reconversion expenditures but they are dropping sharply it may be that expenditures will drop this year but there is always the danger that social services and preparation for the next war may load the budget so what in view of all this is the prospect for tomorrow we cant see so far as we once could there arc too many un knowns in the picture said bill we were silent for a while it will soon be train time for me he said i am going home this after noon what would happen to morrow if uncle joe came out- reversed his position made a genuine effort for peace opened the doors and let us see the picture from the inside if that happen ed i said the world in thirty years might make as much pro gress as it has since the discovery of america i wonder if even joe could do it y we put on our coats and stood on the sidewalk i come back to this said bill the next depres sion if it comes will be a tough one we are building for it high wages high taxes social services etc etc we can carry these things while the tide of business is at the flood but what happens when the tide is out you have the picture if you remember the price level of 1920 and the drop to 1933 and the slow upward climb to 1939 we can learn from the past but do we goodbye local old
