Questionable Aid for Farmers.

Mr. Ewart, the representative in con-
gress from this district, where the
farmers are very poor, SO much so that
scores of them live through the winter
on corn purchased in the spring and
summer on borrowed money at a dollar
or more bushel. has introduced bill
in the house of representatives having
for its purpose the lending of money by
the government on mortgage of the
farms at Q per cent per annum, but by
strange inconsistency he exempts from
the proposed privilege all farmers whose
land is not worth $500.
If this proposed bill is for the benefit
of the poor farmers of the district repre-
sented by Mr.. Ewart, the majority of
whom are not worth $500, of what ad-
vantage will it be to them? Money is
borrowed by these poor farmers often to
buy food until their crops mature at
most usurious rates; a hundred dollar
loan or less is often made at per cent.
interest and discount of 25 per cent,
both on the gross amount, so that the
borrower Of $50 gets no more than $31 so,
for which he returns in six months (the
whole of the interest is exacted) the $50
for which he has given mortgage.

Put Up or Shut Up"

Can governors or presidents afford to
leave the party heelers ''out in the cold"
in order to appoint a farmer to an office
that he is particularly adapted to fill
with credit to himself and satisfaction to
the people? Such thing would revolu-
tionize politics. OF course the farmer
candidate may have voted for the in
cumbent, but that does not matter. The
farmers always do that, and always get
left when the time for appointment
comes. Is the governor or president to
be blamed for this? The farmer will
vote the ticket anyway, whether ap-
pointed or not, but the party heller is
not such ''greeny." He must be taken
care of or he will fight.
There is not a single farmer in the
senate of the United States and very few
in the house, simply because the farmers,
having the appointing power, refuse to
appoint one Of their number. If we cam
not trust each other how do we expect
presidents or governors to do so? Betting
men say to man who is doing consid
cradle betting, put up or shut up"
Should not the farmers do likewise? If
they do not wish to be ignored by the
appointing power they must initiate the
"heeler," and when they are ignored
await the opportunity and then ignore
the ''other fellow"
1t will no doubt surprise the president
and governor if farmers remember the
snub when the next opportunity to vote
comes around, but it will be a surprise
that will do good. He is down at the
bottom now; and when somebody else
drops the farmer can stand on him and
reach the lower round of the LADDER.

Honest Taxation.

In the west there is growing demand
for q revision of the tax laws, to the end
that personal property may be more gen.
orally taxed This same demand has
been made in New York from year to
year at every session Of the legislature,
but every effort to revise these laws, so
as to equalize the burdens of the people
by imposing a proper share upon per-
sonal property, is met by obstacles that
seem to be insurmountable.
Corporate influences combine with pri-
vate and political influences, and these
seem to be sufficient to control the action
of both political parties. In other states,
noticeably in Vermont and other New
England commonwealth, personal prop
erty is compelled to pay its due share of
the public expense, and the demand for
this reform, now that it has been taken
up by the Farmers Alliances of the west
and by the labor organizations of the
east, will be made SO emphatic that it
cannot be passed by or neglected.
If our tax laws mean anything they
mean that property, personal and real,
should equally contribute to the main
tenance of public interests. But it is
acknowledged that personal property in
this state too readily escapes taxation.
The legal legerdemain by which this is
done is familiar to assessors, and wealthy
men of the highest standing do not hest
tate to resort to it. 1t is a disgrace that
the tax laws are so openly defed and
readily ullifed.-Frank Leslie's News
paper.

be turned to the advantage Of the rich
ones. A farmer who can borrow 81, 900
may lend it out to his poor neighbors on
the terms mentioned and make profit
of just 1920, getting $3.50 for the loans
and paying $40 only to the government
for the interest. He can thus live very
