Railroads Like It

Any set of men," writes a
correspondent to the Argus
Leader, who don't know that a
tax on money and credits is the
greatest folly any state every at
tempted ought to be told some
thing, and the proposition to as
sess at fully the value of proper
ty scarcely less so. It would be
a soft thing for the extravagant
machine of this state to dip their
fingers into" Our correspon-
dent might also have said that it
will result in reducing the taxes
of the railroads as compared
with the farmers, for railroad
property is today assessed at
much nearer the real value than
is farm land. Perhaps this ex-
plains why the railroads did not
fight the tax commission bill and
why the first man named for the
new commission was man who
at the time he was appointed was
the attorney for the Milwaukee
railroad company.-Argus-Lead

The Ford Stirred
Up the People

W MC ! CUplt
Six years ago when Henry
Ford announced his model 7
Touring Car at $1,000 it caused a
great rumor, it stirred up the
people. The manufacturers and
dealers set up a great howl.
Every dealer made it his busi-
ness to hammer the Ford. The
Seldom Patent fellows (who
were then collecting royalties
for patents that proved to be
worthless) brought suit after
suit against Ford and kept him
in court for days and weeks dur
ing the time when Henry Ford
was laying his foundation for the
greatest automobile factory in
the world. They stunned his
output for while and they made
him spend his money and valua-
BILE time, but Ford kept on
fighting and building cars. At
one time notice was sent out that
every Ford owner was held liable
for the royalty or subject to a
fine. Ford then put up a bond
and gave to every buyer guar
antee against such loss. He
finally won out in the Supreme
Court, and since that time there
has only been a few dogs that
have tried to stop or change the
course of Ford cars but they
have nearly all been run over.
You will find them now staying
close to home watching the Ford
go by. When man knocks the
Ford car, beware, he might have
tried to stop or change the
course of a Ford The public
is gradually clearing the track
for Ford cars and showing their
appreciation by demanding more
cars than Ford can build.
The following poem is taken
from Ford Times:
ACHIEVEMENT
It's fun to fight when you know
your right and your heart
is in it, too,
Though the fray be long and the
foe be strong and the COM
rades you have are few,
Though the battle heat bring but
defeat, and WEAKNESS make
you reel,
There's joy in a life that can
know such strife, and the
glory and thrill you feel.
When the wise ones pant that
you simply CAN'T, it's fun
for fighting man
To laugh and TRY with daring
eye-and prove to the world
he CAN!
And if you stick till your heart
is sick, and lose when the
game is done,
It's fun to know that the weary
foe paid dearly for what
they won.
It's fun to dare in the face of
despair when the last long
chance seems gone
And to see hope rise in the
angry skies like promise of
rosy dawn;
For victory's sweet when it
crowns defeat, and you learn
this much is true;
IT'S fun to fight when you know
you're right, and your heart
is in it, too"

Sacramento, Cali. May when the
senate met today it was regarded as
certain that the Webb bin would be
passed with little difficulty.
There was wide discussion of the
new bill, Wednesday. although but lit
tie criticism was forthcoming from
the standpoint Of California. IN com.
parlson with various drafts that pre-
ceded il. the Webb act is said to be
more drastic and effective in reaching
the Japanese farmers Of the state than
any other proposed measure, and at
the same time least Objectionable Of
all from an international point Of
view.
Senator Thompson declared Wednes-
day night that the bill provided for
@the immediate and direct solution Of
the Japanese problem and to this ex-
tent it is the most rigid and uncom-
promising measure that has been sug-
gested Senator Thompson denied that
the wording Of the act or any part
Of il can be taken as a concession to
the objection Of Secretary Bryan. and
Gov Johnson stated Wednesday that
from what he understood OF the situa-
tion the measure did not have the ap-
prevail Of President Wilson.
1T is altogether probable that we
would have reached this form Of bill
in any case said sepator Thompson.
"and it cannot fairly be said thar the
draft prepared by Attorney General
Webb reflects any Of the sentiments
OF Mr. Bryan. except his desire that
we do not offend anyone. and that, Of
course, has been our guiding principle
from the beginning AT no time have
We had a wish to offend the people of
any nation and our desire to avoid the
words ineligible Of citizenship has
been quite as strong as that OF the
federal administration.
These words are not used in the
Webb bin, but | do not hesitate to say
that the effect and result is precisely
the same as if they were included and
it win be so understood. There was
no way to avert IT.
A close study of the Webb bin shows
the full extent OF the restrictions plae
ed upon aliens who are not permitted
TO become citizens although the limi
tations arc precisely those imposed ii
the existing treaties between the Unit
ed States and Japan and other nations
whose subjects are ineligible. In tn.
case Of the Japanese they are prohib
tied entirely from acquiring and hold
ing land for farming or agricultural
purposes and it is declared the pass
age Of the act will put an end not onl.
to the growth Of Japanese farming co
onies, but shut out the colonies then
selves.
