Staying Mad at Kansas

The executive committee of the National Whole

One Reason Why Taxes Decline in Dry Towns

A ten-dollar bill used in buying useful things
which are burned and the thing done and
over again, will put money in circulation and for
time help labor and trade
Arguments to prove the value of the liquor traffic
with equal force be used in support of the above
plan for making the country RICH and with force
1y waste, but they make great burdens for the in
dividual and for society to carry.
Both labor and trade is helped by constantly buy
ing and not destroying useful property, which after
while makes the tax-paying citizen and takes
away the possibility of his becoming public burden.
If the two billion dollars year spent for drink
were invested in taxable property it would, at the
average rate of taxation, produce of
thirty-hree million dollars the first year sixtysix
million dollars the second year; ninetynne million
dollars the third year; hundred and thirty-two
million dollars the fourth year and Increasing
at the rate of thrty-three million dollars per year Ito
say nothing of the interests the Investments in
five years the annual income would amount to more
than twice the the nation receives from the
liquor traffic The rate of taxation would decline
instead of being constantly the increase at
present.
AS practical proposition, not all the money
would be invested in taxable property, but large
part of it would and that is of the reasons why
dry towns get along better without saloon revenue
at least, quit spending their money for
drink, buy property and become tax-payng citizens
and the longer a town is dry the there are of
that kind of citizens.
man cannot drink himself rich though he may
feel that way temporarily city cannot do it either

CUPPER PRESENTS PLAN.
RURAL CREDIT SYSTEM URGED
BY STATE OFFICIAL.
Oregons Credit Pledged to Secure
Money at Four Per Cent, Which
Would Loan at Six.

The establishment of a rural credits
system by pledging the states credit
is advocated in statement issued by
Assistant State Engineer Percy Cup
per. Under such plan money could
be loaned to farmers at 3 per cent,
and after the deduction Of the admin
istrative expenses there would still
be left a profit which could be put
into the school fund, he says.
"The state has a credit worth mil
lions of dollars upon which money can
be secured at 3 or 4 per cent, says
Mr.. Cupper. "Why not use this
credit along well-tried lines for the
furtherance of our agricultural devel-
opment? Lending the states credit
or the issuance of the states bonds is
more or less popular at the present
time and is apt to be overlooked, yet
if the money secured from the sale OF
3 or per cent state bonds is invested
in first mortgages drawing per cent
there would appear to be little or no
risk, and in fact the past experience
in handling the school fund has dem
onstrated the safety Of the plan.
"Under present conditions the
farmer can afford to pay 6 per cent
for money and while it is probably
not advisable to reduce this interest
rate at the present time it can doubt
less later be reduced to 5 per cent.
Assuming that the bonds would be
sold for 4 per cent and money loaned
at 6 per cent this would give the state
2 per cent to insure it against loss
and to cover administrative expenses
and return a revenue to the school
fund. A rural credit system for the
state which merely extends a success
full operating plan is preferable to
an entirely new and untrled plan.
School funds are now loaned for one
year with the understanding that if
interest is promptly paid, the princi-
pal may run ten years. Doubtless
other terms could be arranged to ad-
vantage; for instance, the principal
could be made payable in three in
stallments, one in five years, one in
ten years and one in Is years. The
annual payment of the 2 per cent OF
the principal compounded annually
would take care Of the principal in 35
years. :.
SIN order to raise the required
funds a constitutional amendment will
he necessary to provide for the issu-
