monstrosity or frame it in accordance
with our constitution, so that no citizen
may be deprived Of any of his rights or

Vesta, MINI.
Mr.. Arnold Is certainly in deep trouble
over the provision of the law which re-
quires a voter at a primary election to
declare his politics. The weakness of his
position is apparent, however, when the
fact is recalled that under the old system
of separate party primaries the voter had
to indicate his politics by electing which
party's primary he would attend. There
is certainly less publicity given to ones
partizan bias when he quietly asks for
the kind Of ticket he wishes to vote than
when he appeared under the old law at
the party caucus. Furthermore, It is only
fair that the nominations Of a party
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1904-09-02
would discharge a man who did not vote

to suit them
Since when had the legislature power to
deprive a citizen of the right Of private
Judgment in politics? Since when had
the legislature the power to legislate for
partizans instead of citizens? In the pre-
cinct where the writer acted as clerk
of election two years ago, several Of the
best citizens Of the precinct would not
vote at all because there were only parti-
Fan tickets, and they rightly declared that
the legislature had no right to deprive
them of their citizenship by making them
declare a partizan bias before voting at
| a primary. Article 1, section 2, Of the
constitution declares: mo member Of this
state shall be disfranchised, or deprived Of
any rights or privileges secured to any
citizen thereof" It is evident then that

I have the same right or privilege.

Note that the smaller the monthly
payment the larger the proportion
that goes to the "kitty" and the
longer it takes to get loan, and the
bigger the loss II the member drops
out after two years. II he drops out
before two years he gets NJ thing in
any event. AS this company Oper-
ates chiefly among the poorer class OF
people-those who can least afford to
stand loss-it is well to call atten-
tion to the'above tables. There is
very little money behind the scheme.
The company has no income except
that derived from the monthly pay
ments of its members, all Of whom
want loans and are drawn into it
with the expectation uf getting a
loan inside of a few months or year
or two. There is no balance wheel

got his loan a few days ago. In
this connection the seeker altef
knowledge is inclined to wonder what
became OF all tae contract holders
who took contracts from November
|, 1902 to June, 1908. Four loans
have evidently been made TO mem
bers who took contracts before MI
MedeaIis. Have the rest all got
discouraged and dropped out losing
what they put in, or was MI
Medearis' loan made ahead OF IT'S
turn to serve as bait for more Gree
ley business? Now for the sake OF
argument, we are going 10 assume
that the United States Home COM
pany is all right, and that It's officers
are going to do square business.
Let us see how the proposition WORKS
out: First you put up ten DOL
lars application fee for every $1,000
you want. This goes to the com
pany for salaries and expense, ana
is lost, whether you ever get a
iOdu pI IUl. iiiCd yoh tu' @-'S~'
50. so, 50. 30, $3.50, $50, or SOD per
month as you may choose until you
get your loan. The hat dollars in
every case &C to the expense and
reserve funds, (4o cents to expense,
10 cents to reselve), and the collars
to the home fund. You are also
credited with per cent interest on
the amount paid into the home fund.
When $1,000 accumuIateS in the
home fund it is loaned to the member
who has paid in the most money and
for the longest time. and the bor-
rover, regardless of class, pays back |
his loan at the rate OF 81. 80 a month.
When the money he has paid into |
the home fund, with the six per cent |
interest on same up to the time loan
was made, amount to sll00 the loan
is cancelled. Now what is the real
chance for the intending borrower to
get loan in the time promised, viz,
about nine months il he pays Sl0. 80
per month? Suppose there are now
200 members, paying an average OF
So. 30 month each, giving an income
in the home fund Of $1,000 per month.
II each gets his loan in turn, it will
be 200 months, or over sixteen years
before the last of the 200 members
gets loan. This time, OF course,
will be cut shorter in proportion to
the increase of the company's busi-
ness, but there Is no chance in the
world Of loan being granted to
man who takes his contract now,
inside Of two years, II the company
has so many as POO members and IL
it hasn't that many after seventeen
existence, it never will have.
II you get tired OF paying in and
want to get out any time before two
years, you lose all you have paid in.
II you stay two years and the com.
pany is alive and solvent and every
thing square, you are promised the
return of all you have paid into the
home fund (the HOME fund, mind !
you) with six per cent interest. Let's
see where that puts the man who
wants to draw out. Remember that
in each class fifty cents Of each pay
ment goes into the expense and
reserve funds, and is never drawn
out.

AS public educator and medium
for the dissemination OF information,
a local newspaper is called upon
at intervals to investigate various
schemes, good bad and indifferent,
that bob up locally, asking for
patronage. In this capacity The
Tribune has been compelled to go
after several fake mutual hail
insurance companies, long since dead
and forgotten, except by their vic
Tins and couple of years ago the
Western Home Building association
OF Denver found it so not because Of
The Tribune's in 'estigation that
they re.ired from Weld county only
. couple Of hundred dollars ahead
instead Of more. We have now to
deal with a somewhat more difficult
proposltion-the United States Home
company, also Of Denver. AS to
their standing and the worth of
their scheme, the public must Judge
by the showing made. If they are
worthy this publicity will not hurt
them: il worthless, they shoul d be
turned down. Their circular is as
follows:

How to get your home:

you have paid the company for your
home.
4. After you get your loan, you
buy your home and the company pays
cash for it, giving you the deed. and

Is seven pints a full-gaIlon or a fool

Is whitewash paint, if mixed with a
