CORRESPONDENT

A strikingly new rccommenda­bon was made by President :Eisenhower in his State of the Union message when he proposed creation by Congress of a mone­tary commission to study the na­tion's banking, . · "currency and credit facilities -.and their opera-

tioS~ch commiss.i;n, like the two Hoover comn'rissiorls and the Com~ mfsgjon on Inter~Governmcntal Relations, would have author.1ly to .recommend any corrective legislation based on its findings.

I strongl;v .favor creati6n oI such a comrniss1on,·and hOpe the Pres· iden.t's proposal will be favorably acted on in the.present session of CongresS., ·Furthermore, I hope the.make·UP of the commission will be' patterned· broadly after that of the two Hoover comrn1s· sions, on· , a- non:partisan basis, with representatives from lhc public (named by: the President) and from Congress (hamed by the Vice President and Speaker). ·The area of federal activities

Which would be covered by such an inquiry relate directly and vitally; tO the fiscal stability of the ;;~!;:;;.;, ~ !!:.:. ~-::-1.!nMn<'~~ nf t.he dollar, to the forces affecting in· flation and 'deflation, and to the icortomic security of every citizen -Particularly the person on !1xed income or pension.

, Undoubtedly such a commission would face serious pitfalls o! con· troversy- including some of the stran~e fiscal and monetary theol'leS which evolved under the New Deal. There would also ·be the temptation to inject par~ tisanship into the studies and the findings...,....thoup- much less so under a comnusslon inquiry t~an under a Congressional inquiry.

The Council is helping you as a community to have a lot of fun by maintainmg your skating rink. They're also trying to make it easier for you to attend their meetings by setting the daie on the first and third Wednesdays of the month at 7 p.m. Now, ell this effort must be. worth some­t~g, so come for yourself and find out.

. . . Phosphate bes! for Barn Floors-

A number of farmers have contacted our office during the past several weeks about the value of phosphate :f.or barn floors.

Super phosphates. are bet~er than lime for use m the ~a.1ry stanchion barn during the wmter. Lime release~ nitrogen and makes the barn floor sliI!pery. Pho~­phates tie up the nitrogen. This cuts down on 1the smell of .the barns and gives the MW footing. The manure will be worth more in' the spring, too, since the nitro­gen has been held to a greater extent. It is recommended that about a half pound of phosphate fertilizer per cow per .day be spread in, and a short P,1stance behind, the gutter.
