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 mea-
sure enacted Into law that does not
carry the faint of personal gain OF
some politician or political faction
thereof
There is more 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 COM
binations formed by politicians IN the
name of My Country than were ever
formed under any and all other
aliases. There are more political re-
bates hidden in the phrase BE 1t en-
acted" than we're ever concealed IN
der any and all other DISCUSSES.
The inordinate thirst for political
power and unrestrained passion for
mastery has caused more distress III
and it ought TO be regulated by law.
No business combination ever pursued
their competitors as rclcnuCssly 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 aiiuring 70 the voter
as the story of the rainbow with its
pot of gold and their cOnsummatton
about as far-fetched. Selfgain is the
first law in politics. There are many
men in office today who, If they
could not shake pIums off the tree OF
American liberty or cut q melon taken
from Uncle Sam's 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
TIC BduullCL VI pdl ~ ulS4hNOl III w
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 a political
carppaign TO influence judgment can
render capable service.
The preservation of our prosperity
depends upon wisdom, courage and
honesty in government, and the Amer
lean 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 pillow or the staff of
the Shepherd The surest cure for
tainted politics and machine rule is
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.

WATERED SECURITIES
BY Peter Radfcrd.

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 or 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 its financial transaction than
that of any other industry. There is
as much water in a farmers note
drawing eight or ten per cent interest
when other lines of industry secure
money for four or five per cent per
annum, as there is in a 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 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 fnan-
cial immortality in both law and GUS
tom than that of agriculture.
The farmers of America today are
paying s200,0O0,O0O per annum in
usury on real estate and chattel
loans, and this interest capitalized
at five per cent, represents $4,000,000,-
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
isphere now rests upon the farms
and its waves are dashing and its
pillows are rolling against seven mil
lion homes threatening ruin and dis
aster to the prosperity of the nation.
viii our public servants who under
stand how to drain the liquid off in
dustrial properties turn the faucet and
let the water of the farms?

little too great a task for the average

safe to cali il that, anyway If no more
specific term is at hand--have culled

"A thing of beauty and food for
thought "ENerywoman" combines
and comprises, the drama, opera, mu-
steal comedy, color. warmth, light,
action. and some wonderful settings,
together with some very capable ac-
ton and the basic foundation of the
traditional Old English miracle plays,
into a spectacle that is eye-satisfying
and brain-stimulating.
1t enunciates truths that are uni
versally known, when one stops to
remember them, with a dignifed yet
crisp decision that robs them of all
semblance of triteness--and then it
hammers them home with a musical
comedy chorus number very well
