COST SYSTEM IS RETAINED
Farm Biirenn Federation to Continue
Splendid Work Started. ..Of In
terest to Farmers Everywhere
At a recent meeting of the execu
tive committee of the lowa Farm
Bureau Federation, held in Des
Moines October 11 and 12. It was
definitely decided to continue the
cost-of-produetion and cost-account
ing project that was inaugurated in
1920.
While this is one* of the more ex
spensive activities promoted by the
Federation it has been found to be
well worth all It costs, and It was the
unanimous opinion ot the members
of the executive committee that the
results obtained are too valuable to
think of discontinuing the project.
When the officials of the lowa
Federation were called to Washing
ton recently to appear before the in
terstate commerce commission m
connection with rate hearings they
went armed with the figures obtain
ed from this work the last two
years. And the exhibits they sub
mitted for consideration were in the
nature of an Innovation, for it was
the first time, so it is said, that real
ly accurate and reliable data of the
sort had ever been submitted for the
records of that body. There have
been guesses and estimates and
opinions without end. as everybody
knows, but practically nothing suf
ficiently business-like to stand the
test of criticism.
This cost-of-production work is
conducted by a special committee ap
pointed for that purpose, co-operat
ing with the Economics section of
the lowa Experiment Station last
year the committee had the assist
ance of Prof. Munger, of the Agri
cultural college. This year the work
is supervised and directed by Dr.
Nourse.
It remained for the farmers of
lowa, led by the Farm Bureau Fed
eration, to make the first definite
move toward giving expression to
lowa sentiment toward the coming
Disarmament Conference called by
President Harding.
The October issue of the Farm
Bureau Messenger, mailed the first
of the month, presented a blank
form for signatures of members ex
pressing their attitude toward the
coming conference. These forms
are being signed and mailed to the
headquarters office in a volume that
is making life a strenuous affair
temporarily, for the mail carriers.
At a recent meeting of the execu
tive committee it was voted to sup
plement the project by circulating
petitions in every school district in
the state, in order that non-mem
bers, town-dwellers and all may
have an opportunity to go on rec
ord. The following resolution was
adopted:
Whereas, The fifty million citi
zens between the Alleghanies and
the Rocky are carrying a
load of taxes unprecedented in the
history of their country, a burden
that is helping materially to force
countless thousands into bankrupt
cy. The major portion of this bur
den is chargeable directly to war.
and it is being augmented every day
by the present policy of building
warships and other war-like prepar
ations.
The traditions of the American
people are the traditions of peace.
The rank and file of American cit
izenry are unalterably opposed to
war or further preparations for war.
We believe that a peculiar and un
deniable responsibility rests with the
people in connection with the com
ing Disarmament Conference called
by President Harding. We believe
that an attitude of indifference
might easily tip the scale in favor
of a program that would eventuate
in further wars. We believe, too,
that it lies with the United States to
take the initial step looking toward
International Disarmament: that the
other nations are looking to this
country for leadership, and that un
less this country takes that step it
will not be taken.
Therefore, Be It -Resolved, That
we hereby express our approval of
President Harding’s action in call
ing the Disarmament Conference.
We hope that a definite, clean-cut
proposal will come from the United
States during the Conference, to the
effect that the building of war ships
and other war-like preparations
cease at once: and we hope to see
our country take the lead and step
boldly out in favor of a program
that will lead to a consummation of
our pre-war dream of everlasting,
world-wide peace.
JUSTICE AND MERCY
lowa Judge Commended for Stand
Taken in Passing Sentence in
Criminal Cases.
The courtroom was crowded when
Judge McCall sentenced John Berg.
Belmond banker, to five years in the
penitentiary. Apparently the sym
pathy of the entire assembly of peo
ple was with Berg. There were tears
in the eyes of many. The judge
hesitated In passing sentence. Many
people thought Berg should have
been, paroled at once.
Why?
Berg's defalcations amountel to
about 180.000. He replaced abcut
half that amount. He 's intelligent,
educated, alert. He knew he was
doing wrong. He knew the inevit
able consequences. He was a high
ly respected citizen of this conntv.
He was trusted in a high position
and violated that trust. The public
knew of his embezzlement. The
public wondered what the punish
ment would be for a man in so high
a position and with so many influ
ential friends. Men who commit
crimes are punished. They have to
Le locked up for the protection of
society. When society sees the man
in Berg’s position get the limit, the
same as the man without friends,
money, or influence, ths cone! ition
is formed that the courts and the

law deals justly with all. The Berg
verdict increases the respect ot the
j.rnhc for Judge McCall and the
courts of tbe country. I
Do not overlook Coun*/ Attorney
J A. Rogc.'s. It came to his hear
ing that all was not wt'l with the
Belmond bank. He took the oath to
enforce the law and to punish those
who broke the law, regardless of
their situation in life. He ordered
a grand jury investigation of the
Berg case and an indictment was re
turned. He built up the state case
so strongly that the attorneys for
Berg advised him to throw himself
on he mercy of the court, which he
did. In, his final plea. Attorney

1 Rogers asked that Berg be sentenced
i that people might know that ’he law
dealt justly and equitably with all
1 men.
j The Eagle believes that the pun
i ishmenl of Berg will help other men
jto refrain from making the same
. mistake.
George Moore plead guilty to tak
'. ing some harness and other articles
which did not belong to him. Their
value was perhaps SSOO. In the
eyes of the law, this was a greater
crime than stealing the $40,000 by
John Berg. Moore has not had the
same educational advantages as Berg
! and did not realize the serious na
i ture of his crime. He has a wife
and family who need his support.
Attorney Henneberry presented all
the facts to Judge McCall and asked
that he be paroled. County Attor
ney Rogers recognized the merit of
such a procedure and did not object.
Judge McCall tempered justice with
wisdom and gave Moore a twenty
year sentence as prescribed by the
law, and then paroled him to J. H.
Howell of this city.
We again congratulate Judge Mc-
Call, County Attorney Rogers and
Attorney J. W, Henneberry.
