of the community, depreciatlng the
value of the farmers land, and final
ly forcing him to move for socfa
reasons-leaving the negroes to COB
/ bic up the farm for half its rea
W orth.
This is not a fancy picture but a
literal report of what is actually hap
penine all over the Cotton Belt. Al
most every section Of the South
feels the blightng effect of such con-
ditions. Worthy, settlers refuse to
come, and farmers already in COM.
munity hesitate to build worthy
country homes, because they have
no assurance that they or their
children will not be forced to leave
the place in order to flnd plenty Of
white neighbors.
A SIMPLE LAW ADVOCATED.
If we are TO save the rural South
to the white race, we must find some
remedy, and | have become con-
WINGED that an aroused public senti-
ment is not enough. We must
have a statute which will enable
any white community that wishes
to do so to take steps to insure it's
remaining White-a statute framed
not in spirit of injustice and perse-
cution to the negro, but in spirit
of justice and protection to the white
man.
Briefly, propose a simple law
which will say that wherever the
greater part of the land acreage in
any given district that may be laid
off is own by one race, a majority
of the voters in such a district may
say eff they wish) that in future no
land shall be sold to a person of a
different race. Provided such action
is approved or allowed as being
justified by consideration Of the
peace, protection. and social life of
the community,) by a reviewing
judge or board of county commits
SlOnerS.
1t nay be argued, | know, that
such a law is unjust because with
the government of the South as it
is, it could be utilized bv white peo-
pie 10 keep their communities white,
but the negroes would rarely or
never be able to use it to make a
community wholly negro. All Of
which admit, and yet ] believe it is
just.
NOT UNJUST TO THE NEGRO.
believe it is just because the
white man needs the social protec-
ton of such a law and the negro
doesn't. liza majority OF his neigh
bors are white, the negro doesn't
care. His land is made more valu-
able by the Dredominance of neigh
borS of different race; the chances
of selling it for its worth are better;
his family are not uneasy or unsafe;
they don't mind'running off day or
night to see neighborS or kinsfolk
miles away; and his money. making
facilities are. better. But with the
white man surrounded bv negro
nelghbors exactly the contrary con-
ditions exist. So | am confden;
such law as propose would be
just, and eminent lawyers have as
sured me it would be constitutional.
AS for its :oractica bilty, that is ap-
parent on its face. 1t is not radi-
cal measure. 1t would not be forced
on any community that doesn t
want it. But wherever any white
community does wish to keep Itself
/ white and does want the protection
of such law as propose, | believe
it should have that privilege.
shall BE- glad to send further in
formation to any interested reader
who agrees with me.

ONLY TWO MORE STATES NEED
ED,

In urging the Massachusetts legis-
lature to take prompt action in rati-
flying the Income-Tax amendment to
the Constitution of the United States
Gov. Foss sets a timely example to
the governors of other states where
no decision has been reached.
The legislatures of thirty-four
states have ratified the amendment.
The votes of only two more states
are needed for it's final adoption. OF
the fourteen still undecided or al
ready recorded in the negative, no
one doubts that two or more will
ultimately be found in favor of the
ratification Of the amendment.
At the approaching special ses-
sion of the congress next spring it is
expected to make an honest and
downward revision OF the tariff. If
it gives due regard to the rights of
the consumers. it will reduce or re-
move taxes on many necessities. 1t
should not be hampered in its labors
on behalf of the consumers of the
country by the delay Of two or three
states in voting on the lncome-lax
amendment.

THE WILSON TRUST BILLS.

Seven bills just introduced into
the New Jersey legislature embed!
President-elect Wilson'S views or
trust questions. They put in lega
form doctrines which Mr. Wilson has
preached ever since he entered pub
lie life.
The seven Wilson bills aim to end
monopoly by prohibiting devices
through which monopoly is gained.
The Wilson bills prohibit stock
watering.
The Wilson bills forbid one cor
bonds of another corporation.
The Wilson bills prohibit agree
ments in restraint of trade, and give
searching definition OF such re-
Straint.
The Wilson bills prohibit local I'M
derselling for the purpose of driving
a competitor out Of business.
The Wilson bills prohibit the
"holding company scheme. Exist
ing holding companies are not dis
turbed; but no more such companies
can be formed in New Jersey and
no existing company may extend the
field OF it's operations.
The Wilson bills permit the merg-
ing of corporations. They set no
bounds to the growth OF legitimate
business. But they require publicity
in all merger transactions, forbid
the issuing of watered stock at such
times, and compel merging compan-
les to secure written consent from
the state board of public utilities.
The Wilson bills hold directors of
corporations personally responsible
for violations Of law by their COM
panies. The charter of an offending
corporation may be revoked, and its
directors may be punished by prison
These seven Wilson bills are
seven barriers to monopoly. Had
such laws been on the statute books
of states and nation generation
ago there would be no trust prob
lens now With such laws enacted
even now, the trust problem can be
solved by a few years OF determined
law enforcement.
Throughout his term as governor
Mr.. Wilson has advocated such
measures as these now introduced.
Always before he has been talking
to hostile legislature. Now the
prepared bills go to a legislative body
in sympathy with the governors
views; and their early passage is
practically certain.
These bills will be the browning
glory OF Mr.. Wilson's administra ton
at Trenton-and they point the road
which will be travelled by his admin
SRA tjOD at WASHINGTON
The trusts proved their wisdom
when they raised the cry: Anybody
but Wilson!" The people did we'll
when they disregarded that cry and
elected Mr.. Wilson to the presi-
dency The bills just introduced in
the New Jersey Legislature bear wit
ness that neither trusts nor people
will be Observation-Disclosures Jour

Senator Kenyon. says the Ames
Times, has opened sore that he
should keep running until all the
disease runs out of it. That is his
attack on the franking privilege SO
grossly abused by members of con.
gress and senators. If all the frank
ed matter that has been sent out
from washington the past ten years
had been paid for at the regular
postage rate, the postoffice depart
ment would have been far and away
in the clear financially. And pray,
why shouldn't it be? There is no
reason on earth. You might just as
we'll say you would furnish postage
to your hired man. There is just
as much sense to it. The congress-
man is only hired man, recon-
mended by the people and hired by
the government. Cut the Thanking
privilege"

the road dragging tax would pay an
other third and the lands benefited
can pay the remaining third for
about the same cost per quarter sec
ton as people in town pay for pay
ing single lot.
1t is worth the study Of the farm
ers. The easiest thing Imaginable is
to dismiss things without thought or
investigation. The farmers should
take their pencils and check up the
figures. Maybe this pavement isn't
such a costly thing in the long run.

REPEAL SOME LAWS.

THE law makers who began jour
neying to the capital city last week
ought to remember that Iowa has
about laws enough. Especially has
it enough laws to restra'n the evil
passions il men and to ,uari their
conduct at every turn. 1t will be
safe to add no more to the burden
of personal and sumptuary lsSisla-
ton. We have gone the limit IN
Iowa and the time has come TO call
halt, if we are to restrail any SEN
blance Of liberty or any sense Of
personal respect or resp0nS biity. \
man travelling across the state OF
Iowa recently said 4 ming thh. IS
appropos. AS he entered the state he
pulled down the PulllnHn curtain
with this remark: I'VE are now in
the state of Iowa. l am, inadvert-
emily, wearing red necktie, and II
| should be seen in it they might
stop the train and arrest me for in
decency, or something indetinable.'
Of course the man is not to be taken
too seriously, but his sneering re-
mark shows how others are begin
ming to regard our state, because OF
the multiplicity of personal legisla-
ton. There is a lot that we ought
to forget. We have gone about as
far as we can go to make people
good by law. Every session of the
legislature is apt to develop few
fellows who want to make reputa-
lions by still further abridging the
personal liberties of the people. Let
us pray that the coming session will
develop some leaders who will make
their marks by promising the repeal
of some of these laws, instead OF the
enactment of more of thcm.--Cedar

There are about 500 men con-
fined at Anamosa. That would make
quite an army of road builders if
they could be turned loose on that
kind of work, instead of hiring out
some of them at SO cents a day to
contractors" argues the Cedar Rap
ids Republican. Road making
would not be competing with any
one, for no one seems to be anxious
to do work on the roads. Six hun
dred men ought to be able to per-
form the manual labor on two or
three miles of road a day, and may
be On five or six miles. If the thing
could be shaped SO the experiment
could be tried, how would it do to
begin building road between Ana
