POLITICIANS WHO CAPITALIZE
STRIFE A MENACE TO
GOVERNMENT.
Neglect Of Agricultural and industrial
Opportunities a National Crime.
BY Peter Radford.

There never was time In the his
tory OF this nation when we needed |
statesmen more or agitators less than |
at the present moment The oppor |
tunities now afforded us on land and !
sea demand the best there is in state |
craft and the possibilities that are con |
fronting us call for national issues
that unite the people. build industry
and expand trade. The agricultural
and Industrial development OF this
nation has suffered severely at the
hands OF agitators who have sent
torpedoes crashing into the port side
Of business and whose neglect of the
interests OF the farmer makes them
little less than political criminals. We
want no more OF these evil spirits to
predominant in government. Too long
their hysterical cry has sent a shiver
Too long have the political agitators
capitalized strife. pillaged progress
and murdered opportunity. An indus
trial corpse is not a desirable thing,
crippled business an achievement or
neglect an accomplishment about
which any representative OF the gov
eminent has a right TO boast.
Issues that Breed Asitators Should be
Eliminated.
The political agitator must be elm
mated from public life before thought
| full consideration can be given to a
constructive program in government
The liquor question is the most pro-
life breeding ground for agitators and
whether pro or anti, the hatch is
equally as undesirable. This article
is in no sense a discussion OF the IL
quor question but deals solely and by
way OF illustration with the political
products OF that issue. Other sub
jects will be dealt with in the order
OF their Importance.
In the history OF our government
the liquor issue has never produced
a constructive statesman worth men
tioning and it never will. II has sent

What Is a Fair Rate7

we do not know what constitutes O
basis for rate making and have never
heard OF anyone who did claim to
know much about it, but II the pros
nerity OF the farm is factor to bel

sion concludes that an increase mi
rates is necessary, we would prefer
that IL come to us through articles OF
consumption on their journey from
The factory to the farm. We would,
for example. prefer that the rate on
nogs remain as at present and the
rate on meat bear the increase, for
any farmer can then avoid the burden
by raising his own meat, and farm.
err who viii not try to raise his own
meat ought to be penalized. We
think the rate on coal and brick can
much better bear an increase than
the rate on cotton and -four We
would prefer that the rate on plows
remain the same. and machinery,
pianos and such articles as the poor
er farmer cannot hope to possess bear
the burden OF increase.
The increase in rates should be sc
arranged that the farmer who live,
at home will bear no part OF the bur
den. but let the farmer who board'
in other states and countries ant
who feeds his stock in foreign lands
pay the price OF his folly.

The farmer Is seldom represented
