Taxing the many for the benefit
OF the few Is an outrage. The "con.
Meeting link" between the North and
South sides is to be paid for by thou.
sands Of poor North side taxpayers
who will never receive any benefit
from IL. The principal beneiciaries
OF this link arrangement are an army
OF dead beats who own automobiles
on monthly payment plan and who
pay for nothing else.
Whether this tax on the people OF
the North Side from the river to the
city limits, Is constitutional or not, II
question for the courts to decide
The fact Is that the people will have
to pay for something the majority Of
them derive no benefit from whatso
ever.
1t adds an unnecessary burden tC
the already overburdened taxpayer.

happy visit.
Little did we think at that time
that he was going to say, fare

was the love of mother that had
woven itself into his life many
years ago. Solomon said rightly,

rise up and call her blessed. " And
how sweet must have been her

gathered over her life to know
that those she had loved through
all the years was near by when
she was passing down in the val

look was on those for whom she
had given her all, and the first
look on the other side was to see
Him whom she had loved and
yet never seen.
She was the Last Of a family

tains 1902, 160,UO0 Idle acres Of till
able land where they can make a
living by tickling the earth with
forl1ed stick, but we do not need them
so far as increasing production is con-
cerned; we now have all the producers
we can use. The city man has very
erroneous ideas of agricultural condi-
tons. The commonly accepted theory
that we are short on production is all
wrong. Our annual increase in pro-
duction far exceeds that of our in
crease in population.
The World as a Farm.
Taking the world as one big farm,
VIC find two billion acres of land in
cultivation. OF this amount there is
approximately 100000 acres on the
western and ,260,000.000 acres on the
eastern hemisphere, In cultivation.
This estimate, Of course, does not in
clude grazing lands, forests, etc.,
where large quantities of meat are
produced.
The worlds annual crop approx
mates fifteen billion bushels of &C.
reals, thirteen billion pounds Of fibre
and sixty-five million tons of meat.
The average annual world crop for
the past five years, compared with the
previous five years, is as follows:
Past Half Previous Half
Crops Decade. Decade.
Corn (Bu) 3,934,174O0O 3,4OS, 655,OO0
Wheat (Bu.) 1922 100000 3,257,526,OOO
Oats (Bu.) 4,12O,O17OOO 3,5OS, $4,000
Cotton (Bales) 19,S63,S0O 17,541,2O0
The world shows an average in
crease in cereal production Of 10 per
cent during the past decade, compared
with the previous five years, while the
worlds population shows an increase
of only three per cent.
The gain in production far exceeds
that of our increase in population, and
it is safe to estimate that the farmer
can easily increase production rs per
cent if remunerative market can be
| found for the products. In textile
fibres the world shows an increase
during the past half decade in produc
ton of Is per cent against a popula-
ton increase of three per cent.
The people of this nation should
address themselves to the subject Of
improved facilities for distribution

MARKETING WORLDS
GREATEST PfOBLEEl
WE ARE LONG ON PRODUCTION,
SHORT ON DISTRIBUTION.
BY Peter Radford
,turer National Farmers Union.

Lecturer National Farmers Union.
The economic distribution of farm
products is today the worlds greatest
problem and the war, while it has
brought it's hardships, has clearly EN-
phasized the importance of distribu-
ton as a factor in American agricul-
ture and promises 10 give the farm
ers the cooperation of the govern
ment and the business men the
solution of their marketing problem.
This result will, in a measure, COM
pensate us for our war losses, for the
business interests and government
have been in the main assisting al
most exclusively on the production
side of agriculture. While the depart
ment of agriculture has been dumping
tons of literature on the farmer telling
him how to produce, the farmer has
been dumping tons of products in the
nations garbage can for want of a
market.
The World VIII Never Starve.
At no time since Adam and Eve
were driven from the Garden of Eden
have the inhabitants of this world
suffered from lack of production, but
some people have gone hungry from
the day of creation to this good hour
for the lack of proper distribution.
Slight variations in production have
forced a change in diet and one local
ity has felt the pinch of want, while
another surfeited, but the world as a
whole has ever been land of plenty.
We now have less than one-tenth of
the tillable land of the earth's surface
under cultivation, and we not only
have this surplus area to draw on but
it Is safe to estimate that in case Of
dire necessity one-half the earth's
population could at the present time
knock their living out of the trees
of the forest, gather it from wild
vines and draw it from streams. No
one should become alarmed; the
world will never starve.
The consumer has always feared
that the producer would not supply
him and his fright has found express
sion on the statute books of our states
and nations and the farmer has been
urged to produce recklessly and with
out reference to market, and regard
less Of the demands of the consumer.
Back to the Soil.
The city people have been urging
each other to move back to the farm,
but very few of them have moved.

Her Husband Died.

At a dinner party given to an
nounce my engagement we discovered
there were thirteen seated at the

laughingly, but mother said it fore
told death. In one month she was in
the grave and two weeks after my
wedding my husband was stricken
with heart disease and died instantly.

OUR MERCHANT MARINE

One good result to us of the
European war is likely to be the
re-establishment of an American
merchant marine. The humiliat-
ing spectacle of the wealthiest
and greatest exporting country in
the world depending entirely upon
other nations for ships to carry
it's exports and imports, as we'll as
its passengers and mails. is to
pass away forever.
With $25,OOO,OO0 as a nucleus
around which to begin the re-es-
tablishment of an American ship
ping industry, we shall soon have
American owned vessels to carry
our American goods in American
owned bottoms to all parts of the
world. and why not?
With thousands of miles Of
coast line on both the Atlantic
and the Pacific, this country is
naturally great maratime ma,
ton. and such it must soon be.
Nor are these two oceans that
wash our coasts our only advan-
tages for ocean traffic. Through
the very heart Of the country,
north and south, runs the great
Mississippi river, with it's two
great east and west tributaries,
the Ohio and the Missouri, and

ECONOMY, NOT WAR TAKES

r 1t is estimated that the Euro
pean war will reduce the customs
receipts of the United States,
$1OO,O0O,00O. Instead of making
up this amount by the imposition
Of stamp taxes or other oppres-
sive revenue measures, Congress
would commend itself to the
country by the practice of econ
omy. scaling down the national
expenditures TO fit the reduced
income. This. would not be SO diff
flcult a proposition, perhaps, as
may appear upon the surface. The
pork barrel is mighty good
place to start the appropriation
slashing.
The Rivers and Harbors bill. as
passed by the House, appropriates
the enormous sum of $55, 900, 900
for many projects, some good and
others bad. The. country would
not suffer materially if practical
ly all new work provided for in
this bill were postponed until the
war is over. There is little doubt
that the gross amount Of this ap-
DrOpriatiOn could be thus reduced
One-half.

pean war is not yet. The capture
of Paris would not end it as it did
in 1870, for the reason that
France is not now Germany's on
ly enemy. The immense Russian
army and the vast resources of
Great Britain with its immense
possessions all over the world
would not think of surrendering
to the Germans on the fall of
Paris.
The war will go on until one
side or the other will be exhaust
ed. The taking of either Paris
or Berlin will be no weeks job, or
MONTHS either. Paris is the most
strongly fortified citv in the world,
and only an immense army laying
siege to the city for months can
expect to capture it. Likewise be-
fore the Russians take Berlin
they will have had several months
more experience than they have
yet had.
