FARMERS AND THEIR AUTOS
Not Bought for Pleasure, but Because
Machines Can Be Used to Much
Advantage In Farming.

Recently there has been consider
able pessimism expressed by country
bankers over the alleged reckless ex-
travagance of farmers in buying auto
mobiles, and some state bankers as
sociations have gone so far as to ex-
press in official resolutions their dis
approval of farmers taking their
money out of the banks to buy ma
chimes and intimating that credit Will
be refused those who try to borrow
money for that purpose.
These pessimistic warnings" by
the banks are so uniform in charac-
ter and are sent with scch marked
regularity as to arouse the suspicion
that they emanate from certain
source and are intended to conceal
sinister purpose Perhaps this activ-
ity Oh the part of certain powerful
financial interests may be explained
by the reports that a great trust Is
being formed to take over all the prin-
cipal automobile factories in the
United States, and If the business can
be demoralized by frightening people
and thus preventing them from buy
ing machines the central plants can
be bought for less money.
While it is true that thousands OF
farmers have bought autos, it will
doubtless be found on proper investt
cation that most of them had the
money in the bank to pay for them.
and that very little borrowed money
has been used for this purpose. The
report sent out by a Wall street
agency that farmers all over the west
we're mortgaging their land for this
purpose and that one bank in Kansas
City held So farm mortgages which
had been placed to get money to buy
automobiles, have been proven to be
entirely untrue.
Farmers are buying automobiles
not as bankers do, for pleasure-but
because they have learned that they
can use them to a great advantage In
their farming operations. A trip to
town which usually takes three hours
with a good team can be made in
forty minutes by an auto, saving OF
nearly two and half hours, and the
team can be kept at work in the field
meantime. This saving of time and
the labor of a team and man in the
field is well worth while and highly
commendable.
Thousands of autos are used every
day by dairymen. fruit growers and
truckers to deliver their produce to
market, and these machines, loaded
to the guards, may be seen daily ON
the streets of market towns in every
state, east. west. north and south.
Many farmers also use their autos
for power to run separators and 9TH
er light machinery on the farm. as
it is the cheapest power that can be
supplied. And If in addition to these
needs the farmer uses his auto to take
his family to town or to church or to
visit his friends with comfort and
celebrity while the work teams are
resting, he is merely showing further
evidence of his conservative business
judgment and good common sense
which we may safely continue TO
trust.

many children are due to the fact
that the mothers labor such long
hours under unsanitary conditions in

But mark the percentage of child

3 years of age. Now compare this
with Seattle, Wash. There, out of

are children under years of age.
The average for the whole country
is q children under years Of age
instead of AZ as in Lawrence, and for

No Cheaper Sugar. 90
The price of sugar is not to be re-
duced cents a pound, not, at least,
as long as the present republican sci.
ate and president remain in business
in Washington. =
The Democratic house Of represen-
tatives, it will be recalled, passed a
bill placing sugar on the free list. II
was estimated this would reduce the
tpiice approximately 2 cents a pound.
Another bill was passed placing
tax on incomes above $1,000. This
would have meant, in few words,
the transfer cT a portion of the bur
den of taxation from the breakfast
liable to wealth. But the Republican
senate objected to any such trans
fer, with the result that the people
will have to go on paying an artifi-
cial price for sugar while wealth Is
to remain untaxed by Uncle Sam.

La Toilette Against Roosevelt "
Robert NJ. La Toilette, United
States Senator from Wisconsin, fore
most Republican progressive in the
upper House of. Congress, is against
Theodore Roosevelt for a third term,
because, he says, Roosevelt, while
president, co-operated with the trusts
instead Of cooperating with him in
his fight against the trusts.
"On the day that Theodore Roose-
welt was made President of the Unit
ed States" declares La Toilette,
there were 149 trusts and combina-
tons in the United States. When he
turned the government over to VIM.
H. Taft there we're 10000 great trusts
and combinations.
when Theodore Roosevelt entered
the White House, the trusts and com
binations had a capitalization of &c..
1874 100000. On the day that he turn
ed the administration over to Taft ii
was $3O,672,OOO, 900. More than 70
per cent of it was watered.

who was president for seven years
while the greatest trust growth in
this country occurred, at the very
time of all times in the history of the
Sherman law when it could have beef
made productive in destroying trust
