A humorous memo on consumer debt argues paying bills can sharpen math skills and character. It contrasts gleaming ads and confusing bills with reminders that bills reveal values, credit patterns, and the modern economy, ending with a frantic search for a forgotten checkbook.
A letter-writer defends the Cedar Rapids Gilbertville bike path as eco friendly and essential. They cite gas price rises and air pollution, deem the $200000 needed a wise, small investment, and urge readers to contact legislators to back the project for recreation and health benefits.
The writer defends farming life and laments urban bias while arguing that cooperative work is essential. He notes farm inheritance, rising food costs, and that inflation in wages impacts prices more than commodity costs. He criticizes media freedom claims and accused anti farmer stance.
In the March 18 letter, the critic challenges the farmer-writer’s view that farmers work longer hours than others. The writer argues that many people hold demanding jobs too and questions where farming services, commodities, and equipment come from, noting they do not appear from thin air.
A reader challenges the March editorial Full parity non sense arguing facts differ. The letter cites Alfred Kahn and Chase Econometric Associates figures and questions the claim that 18-20 percent parity reflects public opinion while noting farmer price and tax issues.
A harsh mix of farm parity figures and a Cedar Rapids court scam is presented. The author cites parity percentages for corn milk tobacco and peanuts and rails against low wages and newspaper costs. The piece then recounts a bounced check case from 1978 with restitution of only part of losses totaling 2913.71 for 50 businesses, leaving 1942.22 in allegedly free merchandise.
