the bills for war-even for the wars
that over-preparedness inevitably
brings. They pay, too, the bills in
blood and woe and want when war

The business interests, which see
prosperity in large expenditures for
preparedness, are enthusiastic about
it. The working classes-which in
cludes the farrner-are distinctly not
enthusiastic about it. Why should
they be? .-.->

The strongest endorsement a man
can get is the votes of his fellow
citizens.
Halvor Stevenson has been given
that endorsement on fourteen occa-
sions-at seven primaries and seven
elections, and during the last eight
years the endorsement has grown
stronger at each voting.
His closest contest was in 1908,
when he had 2,947 more than Senator
Sageng. At the last election his
majority was 1864.
Senators Peterson and Sageng, Mr..
|Bjorge and Mr.. Brattland, his oppon-
ents on different occasions, are all
big men, and three of them have
been given endorsements since by
majority votes in their counties for
members Of the legislature.
Like all other employees the vot-
ers recognize ability, faithfulness
and good Judgment. They like to
have man in congress who can
stand up and hold his own with the
best Of the talent there, one who can
give full value in service for the
salary he receives.
That is why they have voted for
Stevenson so long, and that is why
they are going to continue voting
for him. They know that the longer
he stays there the better service he
can give. They know that he has
always stood for the interests Of the
common people, the farmer, the mer-
chant and the laborer.
The opposition Of the corporations
controlled Twin City dailies and the
other outside interests who are try
ing to induce people Of the district
to defeat him only makes :: him
stronger. Thief River Falls ~Ti1ftes

Ford's Wise Lunacy.

It is the fashion to make fun Of
Ford, to decry him and belittle him.
He made host of enemies a little
while ago when he set an example
Of doing justice to labor that made
thousands of employers squirm. He
has made host of enemies lately
though largely they are the same
enemies opposing preparedness.
We don't agree with Mr.. Ford on
preparedness. AS matter of "safe-
ty FIRST" we believe in a reasonably
limited naval and military increase.
But between Ford's ideas and Roose-
velt's ideas we'd take Ford's every
time.
The Chicago Tribune set one of its
cleverest men on Ford's trail recent
~ to take advantage of his openness
and hospitality to get an interview
with him that was written subtly to
undermine and destroy whatever
public respect there might be for
Ford.
In that interview, however, are
these paragraphs:
We've got the war fever over here
because they've got a war over
there. We are crazy about spending
millions of dollars on an army and
navy. That's the way it affects US.
And Somebody has got to pay the
bill. Who? The working man!
You can't make me believe that
you can put millions of dollars into
armament without some one footing
the bill, and no matter how you
arrange it. the working classes will
foot the bill finally.
We can't afford to saddle any
more on the working classes in this
country. What we must do, and
right away, is to lift some of their
burdens. Instead Of making them
and fix it so they will pay less.
They try to make Ford out to be
a fool and an ignoramus. In these
paragraphs he speaks gospel truth
and highest wisdom.
On the face Of things, the working
class pays little or no national taxes.
National taxes come out of the in
come tax, the tariff duties and inter-
nal revenue. The working class pays
NO income tax at all. But the in
comes of those who do pay income
taxes come out of the wealth created
by labor. The tariff duties and the
internal revenue taxes come out Of
the consuners-and the working
classes are the largest consumers
because they constitute ni""+v per-
cent or more Of the population.
e Those who actually pay taxes SIM
ply pass them on. In the last
analysis, after they have been
passed from one to another, they
land finally upon the consumers; and
there they stick. They can get no
further. The consumers-all but a
trifling fraction Of whom belong to
the working classes in the end pay
