OUR FARM ERS

He can ride an automobile seeC
dropper across the field, which plant;
the seed and covers it. He can cult
vate the crop on a sulky pillow and
never put his foot on the ground. He
can reap and bind, bale and store his
forage and grain crops and thresL
them by machinery. In no callin9
has machinery played such a part in
working a revolution. Yet, our younG
men hang back. The experts are eX-
hibiting figures to show that just or
binary farming without these labor
saving appliances, if common bust
ness judgment is used, yields an av-
erage of % per cent clear on money
invested, and where machinery is
used and more brains, the per cent.
goes higher. What business can beat
that? What business can give the
independence, the health, the con-
tentment? The public must read just
its idea of farming and farmers. 1t is
time to quit making a joke of it and
pointing out it's disadvantages. Farm
ing has more basic advantages than
any other calling or occupation on
earth By all means let us have a
few Bachelors of Agriculture The
world needs them-for, first of all,
before we are practiced upon other
wise. the world must eat, and there
must be those wo feed the world and

A GOOD PLATFORM

An exchange very truly says: DO
not ALLEVIATE your friends because you
differ from them in politics"
There is particular danger of this
now, when political parties are be
ing rent asunder and realignment un.
der way
What makes a man worthy to be
your friends is not his opinion on the
tariff or on reciprocity, or the integ-
rity of Taft, or Roosevelt, or Wilson,
but his honesty, his integrity; not his
head power mainly, but his heart
power, his sterling manhood.
We have had no trouble in finding
such friends among all parties, among
Catholics, among Protestants, and
among men who affiliated with no
church.
We plead with the democrats not to
lose confidence in their friends who
cannot see their way clear to vote for
Woodrow Wilson; and with the re-
publican not to lose confidence in his
old-time republican friend who thinks
it his duty to stand by my dear
Will" or the one who feels he must
support my dear Theodore"
Friendship is too sacred a thing to
be sacrificed for difference of politi-
cal opinion
Don't imagine that this campaign
will usher in the political millennium
1t is after all only a skirmish in the
aging warfare between right and
wrong, in which good men often get
on the side which they think for a
time is right, but which in the end
proves to be wrong. themselves beine
the judges; and in which bad men
sometimes get on the right side fov
the time being, and bring the cause
into disrepute
There will be wrongs to right after
November, and after other Novem
bers for hundreds of years, even IN
| til the end OF time
Therefore, don't waste your breath
| You know it will be wasted, if YOU
but stop to think.
Don't lose confidence in your friends
who do not see it as you do.
| Make up your mind conscientiOusly
where your duty lies, and do it with
malice toward none and charity to
| ward aIl."-Polk County Record

SOCIALISM AND THE AMERICAN
FARMER

l doubt if the socialist party would
dare to propose the logical outcome
of their promises: Confiscation and
redistribution of the land But they
would dare, nay, they would be forced,
to take the only possible alternative
the taxation of the American farmer
to pay the bill of their necessarily
costly schemes.
Let me make this quite certain by
quoting the whole clause, from which
have already taken the first seven
words:
The collective ownership of land
wherever practicable, and in cases
where such ownership is impractical
BILE, the appropriation by taxation OF
the annual rental value of all land
held for speculation or exploitation. :"
The meaning of the word, 'expIoita-
ton" is not quite clear. In one sense,
farming a piece of land is exploiting
it. But it is clear that the phrase is
aimed at our old friend. the ''unearn-
ed increment" The unearned incre-
ment is to be made TO bear the cost.
The unearned increment is a social
ly created" value, and so it should
belong to the society which created
it, Therefore, let US take it in taxes
and apply it to our costly socialistic
schemes.
At this point the American farmer
comes once more into the story. 1t
will be remembered that, in 1900 the
capital value of American farms
amounted to twenty billion dollars.
In 1910 the capital value amounted to
forty-One billion dollars: had, in fact,
more than doubled. To this enormous
increase the farmers industry and
thrift contributed little. What he con-
tributed may fairly be measured by
the increased area of improved land,
some three acres per farm. All the
rest twenty billion dollars, let us say,
or, on the average, $4,000 per farm, is
unearned increment Twenty billion
dollars of unearned increment in ten
years. or two billion dollars a year.
Here is the field for socialist taxa
ton, when all industrial taxes are re-
moved
The socialist Utopia will never pre-
vail 1t ought not to prevail, because
socialism springs from wrong mo-
tives, its view Of life is false, its eff
feet on human character and human
development would be DISASTROUS

THE PANAMA CANAL AS A saw,
ING PROPOSITION

The Panama canal will soon be
completed. AS one of our orators
has POLITICALLY expressed it, the world
will witness the marriage of the
seas" 1t will revolutionize our mar
thine traffic 1t will insure a great
reduction in freight rates, and to that
extent a saving to the people-partic-
ularly a saving in household expenses.
For instance, it is now estimated that
the actual expense of transporting Il
ton of freight across the continent
from sea to sea-a distance of three
thousand miles-is fifteen dollars.
Above that figure will yield profit TO
the trans portation companies; below
it, will entail loss
The cost of transporting by sea is
FIVE dollars Per ton for a distance
of from 5000 to 5000 miles. 1t is esti-
mated that-say, for instance-sugar,
an article that enters into the econ
Omy of every home, and is no longer
regarded as one of the Injuries, but
one Of the necessities of life, is trans
ported around the Horn from the Phil
ippine Islands to New York for five
dollars ton.
Assuming this to be true, and as
Stunning that on the average freight
can be transported from San Francis
co to New York via the Panama canal
at a cost not exceeding five dollars
per ton, and assuming that ultimately
the tonnage amounts to ten millions
per annum, we will have cost OF
$50,000,000 annually via the Panama
canal, as against s150,O00,000 by rail
road-a saving of $100000,000 annu-
ally to the people of the United
States in the cost OF transportation
from coast to coast.
Those in a position to know say
that the trans -Continental lines have
at present that amount of business.
They hope to retain not only What
they have but to secure largely in
creasing business in the future, be
cause the large amount Of freight
transported through the canal Will in
crease the tonnage, and, of course,
it will be impossible for the ships to
reach interior points, and the railway
lines will be kept busy supplying
these different places but the Gulf
and Atlantic ports, receiving freight
via the Panama canal at a saving OF
ten dollars per ton, will be able to
give their customers the benefit OF
this reduction. so eventually the
housekeeper viii realize its beneficial
effects
The canal will not only cheaper,
but it will augment our Industrial ac-
ciyities

The Atlanta papers continue to
keep in touch with Mrs. Daisy Opie
Grace. Although tried and acquitted
on the charge of attempt to murder
by a jury composed wholly OF men,
she now says that she is in favor of
women charged with crime being
tried by juries composed wholly OF
women. Perhaps, she thinks the men
are over-gallant and permit sentiment
and chivalry to supplant rigid and
hard-fisted justice.
