MAKING THE FARM PAY.
It Can Be Done If the Farmer Is
Thoughtful and Careful
Enough.

Keep the outgoes less than the in
comes. Any Ounce knows that? All
right, but it takes a smart man to dc
1t. If you do not believe 1t, try it,
challenges the Farm Journal.
And then, don't make a mistake
about what 1t really means to make
the farm pay. Some folks have won.
derfully queer notions about that.
They think If they can get $4,000 or
$4,000 in the bank, that is all there Is
to 1t. They are quite apt to be mis-.
taken. Do you know any poor rich
men? We do. More of them than you
can count. Takes more than money
to make a farm pay.
How then shall we be sure that we
are making the farm pay?
Do we have enough to eat three
times a day? Are our children all well,
strong and happy? Are we bringing
them up SO that they will love us when
we are old, and do all they can to
make the world happier for their hav-
ing lived in 1t?
Do the horses, cows and other dumb
animals on the farm love us? When
wo get home from town, is there a
dear little woman standing in the door
to greet us? Do the little folks come
running down the walk and reach up
their arms to give us a mighty hug?
Is our breath pure and sweet as the
morning dew every time we come from
the village? Is our life clean in every
way? Do II neighbors tell us their
little troubles, and come over to sit up
with US at night when we are not very
well? Are we filing our place Just
the best we can, always and every.
where?
II these things are true, the farm
pays, and pays big, whether there is a
dollar In pockets or not. But there
will be. God has promised 1t, and He
keeps His word.

Gus characteristic II we except its u1!-

national organization certainly has not
in a special sense identified itself with
the popular revolt against monopoly

TIE MICHIGAN Tx CASE.

The decision of the supreme court of
the United States in the Michigan rail
road tax case establishes another land
mark in the movement to compel rail
road property to bear its just proper
tiOnate share of the public tax burden.
In Michigan as in Nebraska and other
states the railroads had so long shirked
their equal share that they perversely
resisted to the bitter end when the peo-
pie at length resolutely undertook to
force a more equitable assessment, but
II is significant that the court Of last
resort brings to naught all their elab
crate evasions and rigidly applies the
rule of equity.
In Michigan as elsewhere the diff
Guilty has not been so much the question
of principle as that of its application,
for the state constitution. like the con-
stitutions Of most of the states, requires
railroad property to be assessed on thu
same basis as other property. But the
mischief has arisen from the vicious
influence of railroad and confederate
corporations in legislatures and in the
whole political field whereby things
were so brought about that in fact their
property paid only a small fraction of
what was justly due and of what other
property of equal value had to pay
1t has taken years of serious conflict
for the people of Michigan to relieve
themselves of this evil of railroad tax
evasion which had grown to be intol-
cradle. beginning first with reform of
the statutes, which had been cunningly
manipulated, and involving struggle
with the railroad lobby, with the free
pass abuse and with railroad machina-
tons in political conventions. And when
at last a fair assessment was secured,
more than trebling the quota Of the
railroad companies I'm order to bring
their valuation to the same basis of
valuation as other property, instead of
yielding they transferred the struggle
to the federal courts and there ex-
hausted every resource of obstruction.
1t is encouraging to other states
which are engaged in a similar tax
struggle with railroad corporations that
the supreme court now cuts the ground
from under their contention with pub
lie authority in Michigan, and it ought
to be a warning to the railroads them
selves. The most serious consequence
to them Is not that they have now to
pay the original levy with the accumu-
lation of penalties and interest al
though this is no small thing, but that
they have shown spirit of defiance
which cannot fail to irritate the people
and cause further requirements which
otherwise might not have been made.
The Michigan case ought to be sign
enough for railroads everywhere to pay
their fair taxes without compulsion OF
the courts.

TO TEST INSURANCE CRIME.

The whole question of the criminal
big life insurance companies, including
contributions to political parties, is now
to be thoroughly gone over by New
York grand jury. 1t is noteworthy that
Recorder Goff, a magistrate of I'M
doubted ability who possesses public
confidence, in charging the grand jury
approves the legal position already
taken by Prosecuting Attorney Jerome
and Judge O'Sullivan. Despite news
paper attempts to represent their views
as to campaign contributions as con-
flicting, they were in substantial har-
mony. The real point is that it rests
with the grand jury to decide whether
the facts warrant indictments.
The mass of evidence developed be-
fore the Armstrong investigation regard
ing vast expenditures of insurance
funds for lobbying, for allowances
under one pretense or another to rela-
tives and other favorites, for syndI-
Gates and many other purposes outside
of the legitimate ends of insurance, has
certainly created in the public mind
belief Of the existence of criminal mo-
tive and reasonable demand that the
question be thoroughly tested.

bring the guilt of such misdoings where
actual criminal intent existed within the
technical requirements of the law upon

Nor rALtb onJEcrloNs.

The objections that have been urged
against Inauguration Of direct primary
by the state committee to get popular
expression OF preference for candidates
seeking places on the ticket this fall are
of two-fold character.
The first rests on the assertion that
law must be first enacted to govern the
conduct OF the primary and TO make it
compulsory upon all political parties.
There is nothing. however, i'm the law as
II stands today to prevent the party or
ganization from instltuting a direct pri-
mary system on its own account, nor is
there any good reason why the method
Of nominating republican candidates
should be in the least dependent upon
the method adopted by the opposition to
nominate democratic candidates or pop
ulist candidates. II the republican party
takes the lead in responding to the
growing demand for popular participa-
ton in party nominations it will have
that much advantage over the democrats
or populists, who refuse to trust their
party members and persist IN perpetu-
ating a system of nomination barter
and trade SO far as the protection of
the law to insure the integrity Of the
primaries is concerned, the present stat
utes are sufficient to cover primaries for
direct nominations just as well as TO
cover primaries to select convention del
egates.
The second objection is that a direct
primary system for the whole state is
impracticable because Of the expense.
gerated, presumably because the expert
ence OF Douglas county has been UNI
necessarily costly. Outside of the addi-
tional expense for printing and dlstrib-
uting the primary ballots the outlay
should not be much more than is now in
Cured under the convention system.
Every member Of the party is now sup
posed to help choose delegates to con-
ventions. Caucuses or primaries are
supposed to be held in every voting dis
trict and when these caucuses are held
1t will cost no more to have them called
for fixed hours during which the voters
may cast their ballots not only for dele
gates, but for their preferred candidates
as well. The canvass and certihcation
of the voter would impose a little more
labor, but volunteers among the party
workers ought to be found without diff
Guilty in every voting district But even
IL the expense Of direct primary were
twice that now incurred for the selec-
ton Of delegates and holding of conven-
lions, it would still be worth the money
in making the machinery of the party
respond directly to the will of the rank
and file, whose votes will be necessary
later at the election TO achieve party
success.
AS The Bee has already stated, the
objections to the proposed direct pri-
mary adhere in much more fragrant
form to the convention system of nomi-
nations, which is honeycombed also with
other abuses. and for this reason these
objections are not valid.

MIR. oARNEGIE's SUGGESTION.
Control of Railroad Rates "ImDera-
lively Required.
poaf

washington POST.
The views OF Andrew Carnegie on the
question Of regulating railroad rates are
Of great interest. He takes the position
that government control of railroad rates
is '1nperatively required" and thereby
contributes to the strength of the public
demand upon congress by revealing the
true opinion of those who conduct the
great industrial operations OF the country
Mr.. Carnegie perceives that the public
welfare requires that the industries OF the
country and the common carriers shall be
divorced.
Mr.. Carnegie suggests that appeals from
decisions OF the Interstate Commerce COM
mission should be permitted only when
the revenues OF the railroads are seriously
impaired. He believes that the commission
should be trusted to decide trifiing cases
fairly This Is an entirely new suggestion
and is likely to receive the attention OF
the lawyers OF the senate. II is certain
to be met OF course. with the argument
that the right OF appeal by either party
Is inherent and cannot be restricted Dy
limiting the amount of money involved
The rights OF small shippers who, as
Mr.. Carnegie says. "can spare neither the
time nor the money required to contest
cases on appeal are protected In the pend
ing bill by making it the duty OF the gov
ernment itself to defend the rates attacked
by railroads on appeal There does not
appear 10 be any provision, however, for
the relief of the small shipper, who him
self may be compelled to appeal from the
decisions OF the commission.
Mr.. Carnegie is recognized throughout the
world as a successful master OF those
economic and Industrial problems that hg-
ure so prominently in the activities of this
busy. strenuous work-a-day age of ours,
and his suggestions are certain to com
mand the thoughtful attention Of the men
who are charged with the duty Of putting
a satisfactory solution Of the rate problem
into congressional enactment.

FOLK TO IoWA DEMOCRATS.


Governor Folk in his address at Des
Moines before notable gathering of
democrats from various localities in
Iowa did not put too much stress upon
the present period as one in which the
peoples rights are to be defined and
observed as they never have been be-
fore and as a time of awakening which
proceeds not from spirit OF discOn-
tent, but from the moral sense of the
people. 1t is point of view which can
not be too much insisted upon, and il
is especially appropriate for such an
audience as the Missouri governor ad-
dressed.
Yet IL is easily possible to press the
point to extremes in partisan service.
The moral awakening which Governor
Folk made the keynote, whose aim is to
make government representative of the
good and not Of the bad, has so far at
least been distinctly not partisan what
ever it may come TO be in practical pol
titles in the future. II is a movement of
