vision that others work little ex-

WATERED SECURITIES
BY Peter Radford.


Much has been said and more writ
ten about the evils of watered stock in
big business concerns and the farm
ers OF this nation believe that every
dollar written into the life of any
business organization, should be able
to say Il know that my Redeemer
hveth," but farming is the biggest
business on earth, and there Is more
water in it's financial transaction than
that of any other industry. There is
as much water in a farmers note
drawing eight OF ten per cent interest
when other lines of industry secure
money for four or five per cent per
annum, as there is in business pay
ing a reasonable compensation upon
the face value Of securities repre-
senting an investment of only fifty
cents on the dollar. The only diff
ference is, the water is in the interest
rate in one instance and in the secur-
tiles in the other.
The promoter ofttimes takes chances
and his success is contingent upon
the development of the property In
volved but the usurer, as a rule, takes
no chances and his success cripples
the property involved. There may be
industries that cry louder but none
that suffer more severely from inan-
cial immortality In both law and Gus
tom than that Of agriculture.
The farmers of America today are
paying $200,000,000 per annum in
usury on real estate and chattel
loans, and this interest capitalized
at five per cent, represents 1900, ,000.-
900 of fictitious values which the farm
er Is paying interest on. This sum of
money is almost equal to the annual
value of crops produced in the United
States.
The earning power Of the farmers
note based upon his interest rate very
nearly divides likes the earth's sur
face--three-fourths water and one
fourth land. The largest body of wa
ter that floats upon the financial hem

The Navy and
National
Defence.

The diplomatic situation in
volving the relations of the United
States with Germany has over.
shadowed every other matter
during the past week. One
effect OF the present situation is
very noticeable. That is the very
rapid spread of the feeling that
the nation must have a larger
and more effective navy. The
question of providing a more
comprehensive plan of naval de-
velopment is already looked upon
as certain to come i'll for thorough
discussion and also for action
when the Sixty.fourth Congress
assemblies. 1t is not believed
that the objection of lack OF re-
venue will again be allowed to
stand in he way Of a more vigor-
Gus naval policy. 1t is pointed
out that country with the
wealth and resources OF the
United States will have no diff
Guilty in providing for adequate
sea protection once the public
sees the need oiit. A government
official called attention this week
for example. to the tact that the
tariff revenue from sugar, which
is scheduled to be dropped next
May, amounts to $5O,OOO.OOO a
year. and in the past twenty
years has brought billion dol
lars into the Treasury. By re-
tanning this revenue duty the
country would be able to con-
struct every year four or FIVE of
the latest type OF battleships be-
sides seven or eight scout cruisers
and twenty submarines. Such a
program, he shows, would soon
make the American navy equal to
the best in the world. Whether
or not this exact plan is adopted
it seems certain from the present
temper of the public as reflected
all over the country that more
serious attention than heretofore
will be paid to developing the
naval arm of the national defence

TAINTED POLITICS
BY Peter Radford.

This country Is suffering more from
tainted politics than from any other
malady at the present time. There Is
scarcely a campaign speech made,
platform demand written or a mea-
sure enacted into law that does not
carry the taint Of personal gain of
some politician or political faction
thereof.
There is mere blue sky" in cam
paign promises Of many politicians
running for office than was ever con-
tanned in the prospectuses of the bold.
est promoters Of chimerical business
schemes. There are more secret CON-
binations formed by politicians in the
name of My Country" than we're ever
formed under any and all other
aliases. There are more political re-
bates hidden in the phrase BE 1t en-
acted" than were ever concealed un-
der any and all other disguises
The inordinate thirst for political
power and unrestrained passion for
mastery has caused more distress in
this nation than the greed for gold,
and 1t ought to be regulated by law.
No business combination ever pursued
their competitors as relentlessly or
visited more heartless cruelty upon
their customers than political party
that seeks to make junk OF an In
dustry, or cripple a business for party
success, through tariff measures. po-
litical supervision and ofttimes de-
structive legislation. Many political
platforms are as alluring to the voter
as the story OF the rainbow with its
pot of gold and their contamination
about as far-fetched. Self-gain is the
first law in politics. There are many
men in office today who, II they
could not shake plums OF the tree OF
American liberty or cut melon taken
from Uncle Sans commissary, would
have less desire to serve the public.
The country is surfeiting with patri-
OTIS, who will bare their breast to bull
lets In defense of their country, but
there are few men in public life who
will bare their breast to voters or run
the gauntlet of party disfavor in de-
Tense Of agriculture or industry. No
| representative of the people, who will
permit personal prejudice to dethrone
justice, party success to disfranchise
reason or the rancor of political
campaign to influence judgment car
render capable service.
The preservation Of our prosperity
depends upon wisdom, courage and
honesty In government, and the Amer
ican voter should seek these attri
butes as implicitly as the Wise Men
followed the Star of Bethlehem and
they will often be found to rest over
the stable; the plow or the staff OF
the Shepherd. The surest cure for
tainted politics and machine rule Ia
b fresh air and sunshine and these i'm
portant elements are most abundant
upon the farm, and when farmers.
bankers and merchants are elected to
membership In legislative bodies, much
of the trouble in government will dis
appear.

The Bank Fued.

The row between the United
States treasury officials and the
Riggs National Bank has been
the big thing of interest in Wash
ington during the past week.
The two institutions are located
directly opposite one another,
and the evidence shows that for
years there was absolute har-
mony. Possibly the nearness of
the two establishments brought
about the use of the Riggs as
"the back door to Wall Street.
All went well for years until the
hot. headed Williams dropped in
to Office at the treasury and be-
gan calling the Riggs people
names. Then the fur began to fly
and now the whole country won
ders where the row will end.

Protection for the
Birds.

A very wise law is that passed
by a recent Congress providing
for protection to our popular
song birds, as we'll az the game
birds.
The value offeathered songsters
is incalculable in eating noxious
insects and quibs. as well as the
purely aesthetic aspect OF the
case. 1t would be a dreary world
and spring would lose most OF
its beauty without the birds.
In addition to the Federal law
a State statute provides for inn
prisonment and fines for those
injurinR the birds or taking their
eggs and nests,
The boy with air-gun or rubber
fhpper should be taught to re-
spect his little friend in feathers;
and there should be no encour-
agement for the destruction OF
animal life.
A band of mercy should be or
ganized in Oakley. The simple
pledge OF this society can be TAX
ell by anyone.
1t is follows
Il will try to be kind to all
living creatures, and try to pro
tcct them from cruel usage.
1t is Il part of education tc
train our future citizens to be
kind to all dumb animals. Par.
ents and teachers are united III
their desire to bring about better
conditions in this matter.
A knowledge of fanimal life will
do much to ameliorate conditions
through arriving at better
understanding OF the relations O
man and the animate world. The
publications of the various hum
ane societies are valuable ad
aition to the reading matter o'
every family. A very good mag
azine dealing with this is "Oul
