OUR PUBLIC FORUM
i---lntroductory

Through the Press Service of Agri- culture and Commerce, the master minds of this nation will be invited to the public forum and asked to de- liver a message to civilization. Men who achieve seldom talk, and men who talk seldom achieve. There IS no such thing as noisy thinker, and brevity is always a close companion to truth.
 It will be a great privilege to stand by the side of men who can roll i'll place the cornerstone of industry to associate with men who can look at the world and see to the bottom of it; to commune with men who can hear the roar of civilization few centuries away.
 Too often we listen to the rabble element of our day that cries out against every man who achieves, Cruelty him." Mankind never has and probably never will produce a generation that appreciates the genius Of its day. There never will be a crown without a cross, progress with out sacrifice or an achievement with out a challenge
 This is an age of service, and that man is greatest who serves the larg est number. The present generation has done more to improve the con dition of mankind than any civiliza- tion since human motives began their upward flight The Greeks gave human life inspiration, but while her orators were speaking with the tongues of angels, her farmers were blowing with forked sticks; while her phil osophers were emancipating human thought from bondage. her traffic

 The genius of past ages sought to arouse the intellect and stir the soul seeking to serve. Civilization has as- signed to America the greatest task of the greatest age, and the greatest men that ever trod the greatest planet are solving it. Their achievements have astounded the whole world and we challenge every age and nation to name men or products that can approach in creative genius or mas terful skill in organization, the mar vicious achievements of the tremend- ous men of the present day. Edison can press a button and turn a light on multiplied millions of homes; Vail can take down the receiver and talk with fifty millions of people; Nc Cormick's reaper can harvest the worlds crop, and Fulton's steam en- zine moves the commerce of land and sea.
 The greatest thing a human being can do is to serve his fellow men; Christ did it. Kings decree it, and wise men teach it. It is the glory of this practical age that Edison could find no higher calling than to become the janitor to civilization; Vail the messenger to mankind Mccormick the hired hand to agriculture, and Fulton the teamster to industry, and blessed is the age that has such masters for it's servants.

International Law?

Uncle Sam is kept busy protest
ing against the acts Of the var
ious bellIgerents. First England
and then Germany is breaking
international law.
1t sometimes looks to the cas-
ual observer that there is in real
,ty no such thing as international
law or any law that a warrinp
nation feels itself obliged to hon
or unless it "feels like it,"
The neutral nations are the
proper arbiters and construers O,
the concus of International law,
but unfortunately, il any nations
breaks these well established
rules, there is no method of coer.
cion save warfare, for the trea ties
made and conventions agreed to,
so solemnly have been mere
scraps OF paper" when the crisis
came,
International law at present
does not seem to have any stand
ing between the nations.

THE VITAL PROBLEM Of
AGRICULTURE
BY Peter Radford.

There is no escaping the market
problem and the highest development
OF agriculture will not be attained
until it is solved, for a market
is as necessary for the producer
as land on which to grow his crop
Governmental and educational insti
tutions have spent $180,000, 900 in the
United States during the past ten
years for improving soil production
and improving seeds and plants, but
very little attention and less money
has been given to the marketing side
of agriculture.
The problem Is a monumental one
and one which will never be solved
until it gets within the grasp of a
gigantic organization where master
minds can concentrate the combined
experience and wisdom of the age
upon 1t. 1t is a problem which the
farmers, merchants. bankers, editors
and statesmen must unite in solving.
The Farmers Union stands for all
there is in farming from the most
scientific methods of seed selection to
the most systematic and profitable
plans of marketing. but does not be-
lieve in promoting one to the neglect
of the other. We consider the work
OF farm demonstrators valuable and
we ask that governmental and com.
mercial agencies seeking to help us.
continue to give us their assistance
and advice, but VS. believe that their
influence should be extended to the
marketing side Of our farm problems
also.
We cannot hope to develop manu-.
featuring by over-production of the
factory; we cannot build up mercan.
tile enterprises by the merchants load,
ing their shelves with surplus goods
and no more can we develop agricul
ture by Cutting the market with
surplus of products.

"War Tax"
Law.

VdSu'iIR TON, Iuty I3, 1910
Every blunder in a statute is a
gilt edge invitation to law suit
A typical example of one Of
these invitations, so numerous in
practically every important stat
ute passed by the Democratic
Congress. occurs in Schedule B OF
the war tax" law. 1t threatens
to vitiate the effectiveness of the
entire schedule,
That provision declares that
"perfumeI y, Cosmetics, and other
similar articles" shall be taxed
What are "cosmetics?" The term
IS general, not specific 1t is not
defined IN the law. and the ques
tion OF what shall be termed
cosmetic has been plunged into
doubt, which the courts only can
finally clear up. A suit is now
pending to determine it.
From the earliest days of at.
tenpts to enforce this schedule,
there has been continual confus-
ion. Many manufacturers of
articles OF this character resisted
the tax. declaring that their
goods were not "cosme tics"
Revenue collectors were at sea.
and conflicting rulings from
Washington as to specific articles
merely added to the confusion,
delay and expense of administ-
ration.
The Internal Revenue Office
finally tried to settle the difficulty
by ruling that manufacturers of
certain disputed products would
be exempt from taxation il they
changed their advertising.
The levying of the tax was
thus made to depend. not upon
the product itself. but upon the
way it was advertised, virtually
resolving a portion of Schedule
Is of the war tax" law into a
special tax upon advertising rat.
her than upon the goods under
discussion when Congress Ell.
acted the statute.
1t is elementary in law that
interpretation OF a law shall
not usurp the the junction of leg
islation." This principle has been
violated in the administration of
the war tax" law. The Demo
cratic Congress named two con-
filcting dates as to the time sch
edule B should take effect, and
the Internal revenue Office by an
arbitrary ruling had to determine
what Congress intended.
The courts may decide that the
same thing has happened in the
rulings as to the tax on Zoos |
metics." In any event the history |
OF this portion of the war tax"
law has served to emphasize the
siovenly methods employed by
the Democratic Congress.

he most disgusted man in Oak.
ley today is Mr.. E Z. Colpir,
proprietor OF The Rexall Store on
Main Street. Mr., Colpin, who
is one OF the most progressive
men i'll this city, has been looking
forward to delightful vacaii, n
IN San Francisco, where he plan
ned to attend the Thirteenth An
nual Convention of the United
Drug Co, the great international
manufacturing and importing
organizatIon, IN which he is u
heavy stockholder. 1t is the
irony OF fate, too. that though
Mr.. Co'pin wanted to attend the
meeting, to get new ideas with
which to increase his business. he
is prevented from leaving the city
SIMPLY because the business is in
creasing. His many friends will
be interested to learn what our
elbow citizen has missed by rot
going to San Francisco, and why
he almost wishes that X is business
would stop growing.
When visited by Herald repre-
sentative Mr.. CoIpin gave his
views on Drug Store Service and
told an almost unbelievable
story OF new form of practical
cooperation which he calls "The
Rexall Idea"

that time there was no such thing

business. 1t WAS every man Tor
himself and the devil take the
hindmost.' Individual drug pists
manufactured their own remedies
good, bad and Indifferent; bought
their goods in small lots at high
prices, and fought each other
tooth and nail. Mr.. Ligget saw
that if the buving and manuiact-

gists could be combined, and a
standard policy adopted for all
their stores, the result would be
