A day of tender memory,
A day of sacred hours.
Of little bands of marching men.
Of drums and flags and flowers
A day when a great nation halts
Its mighty, throbbing pace.
And pays its meed of gratitude
And love with willing grace.
A day when battles are retold,
And eulogies are said,
When dirges sound, and chaplains read
The office for the dead.
A day when fairest, sweetest blooms
Are laid upon each grave.
And wreaths are hung on monuments.
And banners, half-mast, wave.
A day to keep from year to year
In memory of the dead;
Let music sound, and flowers be laid
Upon each resting-bed.

mom spending are both mean
ingful and necessary,” Charles
B. Shuman, president of the na
tion’s largest general farm or
ganization, said. "Not only does
the $6 billion expenditure cut inis
> ear represent a substantial turn
around from accelerated federal
spending, but the reduction and
repeal of basic spending author
ity will carry the thrust of this
slow-down in federal spending
into 1970 and subsequent years."
He noted that the official tot
ing delegates of the member
state Farm Bureaus at the an
nual meeting of the American
Farm Bureau Federation in De
cember 1967 had adopted this
statement of policy:
“The current fiscal situation
calls for action to eliminate
strong inflationary pressures At
this time we oppose any in
crease in taxes which is not
matched by a prior and equiva
lent reduction m government ex
penditures for the duration of the
tax increase ”
The Farm Bureau president
said the reductions in federal
spending proposed by the Sen
ate-House conferees include a
pioposal to reduce federal civil
lan employment to levels of
June 30. 1966 This would result
in a reduction of 321,183 govern
ment workers from the 2 687,-
500 federal civilian employees
pi eviously anticipated by the end
ot fiscal 1969
“After meaningful cuts in ex
penditures and in new spending
authority are instituted ” Shu
man said, “Farm Bureau can
and will support a temporary 10
percent surtax on corporate and
individual incomes ”
The conference report pro
vides for this revenue measure
to become effective Januarv 1,
1968 for corporations and Apnl
1 1968 for individuals and to ex
pire June 30 1969. for both
“Reductions in federal spend
ing coupled with a tax increase
will help to control the present
inflationary situation which has
aggravated the brutal cost-price
squeeze in which the nation’s
farm families aie now caught,”
he said
“Faim costs are at an all
time high,” Shuman pointed out
“The parity ratio stands at 71-
lower than in most of the de
pi essior years of the 1930 s
He added that Faim Bureau is
willing to accept reductions in
federal spending for aguculture
in order to achieve significant
cuts in total goi eminent outlai s
“We shall point out to the Con
gress that billions of dollars can
be saved in the future if the
'House and Senate will reject
current proposals to extend the
Food and Agiicultuie Act of
1965,” he concluded
