Who Must BeS the Burden?

Although Judge Lamm has repeated
ly asked Col, Gardner, millionaire Coffin
Maker and Democratic nominee fer
Governor, where the million dollars
will come from TO start his land bank
scheme, Col. Gardner has not yet
answered the question. In a recent
speech, he said the state appropriate d
a million dollars Tor the Worlds Fair
in St. Louis, and three million dollars
for a state capitol at Jefferson City, and
would find way TO appropriate the
money for the land bank.
The million dollars appropriated for
the Worlds Fair was raised through a
special tax and the money 10 build
the State capitol was raised By interest
bearing bonds. Both Of these funds
meant additional taxation. II it is
Gardner's intention TO follow this plan,
he should be honest enough TO say so.
II, in addition to the interest in
which the farmer would have to pay to
the land bank, he must pay an addi.
,ional tax to establish and maintain The
institution, then the real cost Of the
loan would not be as low as Mr.. Gard
ner would have them believe. II the
funds to start and maintain this bank
are to be raised through extra general
taxes, then burden is put on every
taxpayer in the state, and even though
cheaper rate is provided for the farm
er, the other taxpayers must make up
the difference. This is robbing Peter
to pay Paul.
The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1916-10-19

II it is Gardner's intention in furnish
ing the funds for this institution TO tax
the residents Of the cities (who cannot
borrow penny from the land bank)
and the farmers (who do not borrow
nom the land bank, then he should
be honest enough to say so and let
these taxpayers know that they, and
not the land bank itself, are max
ing possible cheaper interest rates.
Col, Gardner as a Democrat, preach
es the Jefiersonian doctrine Of Equal
Rights for All and Special Privileges
For None" Yet if his land bank
plan gees through large majority of
our citizens will be taxed TO establish
a bank with which they themselves
deal.
Col. Gardner should take the public
into his confidence and tell them frank
ly where he proposes to raise the mon
ey to establish and maintain his land
bank and who will have to bear the
burden.

A Railroad Engineers view.

EuRdI Jay DWyCG OF DayOnut' ~ J''
former chiat engineer Of Central DiviS
ion Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engin
eers, writes 10 the New York Sun let
ter which should he read by
every railroad man. During the last
month" he says, I have personally
interviewed many intelligent railroad
men regarding the probable effect oi
the Adamson law. With scarcely an
exception they do not pretend to un'
derstard it," But Mr.. Dryer does not
corhne himself to a condemnation ol
he Adamson law He appeals to his
fellow workmen upon broader grounds
and say:
The inevitable effect Of Wilson S
election at the close Of the European
rar will be a marked and decided
decrease in the volume Of railroad busi
ness and employment. No matter
what your rate Of pay is if you have no
work your income will be omitted from
the pay rol Every intelligent rail
road man should learn the undisputed
fact that the prosperity 0! his business
cannot be separated from the industrial
and mining prosperity Of the country.
The great volume Of inland transport
alton is furnished by these industries,
and whatever reduces their business
>trangles the business Of the railroads,
A tariff that increases foreign com
petition reduces home production and
decreases the volume Of railroad busi
ness. Ask any old time railroad man
if he remembers the four years from
1898 to 1897 when there were no pro.
motion in the train service for the
whcle period and thousands were de-
graded.
That was the Cleveland low tariff
panic. A low tariff law always brings
railroad depression. Look back to the
winter OF 1914 IS, before the war be-
gan 10 grow, under President Wilson S
un'American tariff law. Just read
your official organs at that time; they
tell the story, and tell il clearly.
Look at the long list Of expulsions
for nonpayment Of dues, which meals
out Of work. AT that time more than
100000 were unemployed, while there
was a string Of empty freight cars that
would reach on a single track from
New York City to Denver, Colorado
Remember that Woodrow Wilson is
asking for reelection on platform
that indorses that tariff l appeal TO
my fellow railroad men not TO vote for
a return OF the hard times that were
created solely by the Underwood Viii
son tariff law.
This is the argument Of sense.
Railroad men should not be misled by
false claim Of an eight hour work day
to an abandonment Of principles that
are essential to their prosperity

David ". Hill Made Powerful Speech.
The wavering diplomacy OF the pre-
sent administration was subjected TO a
dispensing denunciation by Hon. David
w. Hill the Republican nominee for
Congress from this district, in lengthy
address at the court house last Tues
day afternoon.
The meeting was presided over by
Hon, H. s. Wilson the defeated candi
date for the nomination from the coun
tY, In introducing the speaker, Mr..
Wilson heartily endorsed the nomin-
ated candidate as the choice Of the
people and pledged his :Arnes, support
in leaving nothing undone toward sec
uring his election in November.
Mr.. Hill spoke for an hour and a
hall principally on national issues TO an
audience that filed the large court
room 10 its standing capacity. He
pointed out that although this is
great wealth producing district, the
Underwood tariff law, previous to the
outbreak Of the European war, had
seriously affected the markets for the
products Of the districts. The lumber
ing mills Of his own county Of Butler
we're forced in many instances 10 shut
iowr; the cotton growers Of the dist
uct adopted the slogan Buy bale"
aud were begging market ior their
product 10 keep from starving; wheat
was selling at 90 cents per bushel, and
horses, cattle and mules were almost
valueless, he said. The only prosper.
lily We have is only temporary and it is
the result Of war prices and not as the
result OF the Understood tariff law, but
in spite Of il during the period Of oper,
alton Of the Underwood tariff law previ
GUS 10 the outbreak Of the war, there
were 100000 laborers in the United
States made involuntary ramps for the
lack Of employment. postofiices all over
the country were being used by the
government, not to give jobs, but 10
seek jobs for unemployed men ne said.
In dealing with the Mexican situs-
ton. Mr. Hill reviewed the numerous
blunders Of the Wisonion admininis-
stration and called attention TO the fact
that more Americans lives have been
lost during the present Mexican muddle
in time Of peace (?) than were lost
during the Spanish American var under
Republican rule.
Mr.. Hill was interrupted at intervals
during his speech by applauses from
his enthusiastic hearers. Several OF
our beloved old soldiers were present
and heartily enjoyed and approved OF
the message. Mr.. Hill is the son Of a
Union soldier, and is friend to all Of
the old comrades. He lavors pensi
on Of at least Sl.00 per day and believ
es in giving the pension while the old
boys are alive. Under the present
automatic system Of increasing the
pension with the increase OF age, a
comrade rarely reaches the age where
he receives S1.O0 day. We are glad
TO say that Mr. Hill has made lasting
impression Of friendship with the old
boys Of this section. In fact we hard.

against him while several have express

Diplomacy Of Dollars And Sense.

UIplOIldCY OF UOlldrS R10 sense
In respect to American interests
abroad " said M, Hughes at Bal,imorr
we have not only diplomacy wirhou'
dollars but diplomacy without sense "
Dol ar diplomacy" is a phrase popular
among European critics OF American
methods who delight to picture US as
nation OF money grabbers, and among
Democratic orators and editors who
maciously associate it with Republ
can policies. The assumption is OF
course, that money is looked upon
with disdain by Europeans and Demo
Gratis, who could under no circumstan
ces, be induced to touch dollar fer
fear Of moral contamination. Europe
may be excused, having no dollars but
the affection OF the Democratic is rank
hypocricy. Almost all diplomacy has
10 deal with matters directly affecting
trade and commerce, and money is the
medium Of all trade and commerce.
Dollar diplomacy is in no way different
in its purposes and results from pound
diplomacy or franc diplomacy or mark
diplomacy. Every nation worthy cf
the name develops and protects its
trade. Every naJion worthy Of the
name endeavots to promote its trade
with other lands, and diplomacy is ap
piled to all by this end. No matter
what term may be applied TO it, its
moving spirit is money, whether it be
German or French or British or Ameri-
can.
And this, in spite Of the Democratic
Pharisees is as it should be, America
Notwithstanding the epithet, has been
far behind the other great nations OF
the world in the diplomacy Of money.
This country as Mr.. Wilson says with
ruth, has not played its proportion
ate part in the development Of the
trade Of the world" But we can never
play our proportionate part unless our
commerce and the men who 20 cut
into the world to develop that com
merce are protected Mr.. Wilson'S
words in this as in other matters fail
to square with his deeds. He talks
beautifully OF world trade, but he gives
the world 10 understand that Americans
abroad have no rights this government
is bound or inclined to respect. Amer
lcans cannot develope international
trade by staying at home. They must
go alter it, when normal conditions are
restored, just as do the Germans, the
British and the French. And they
cannot get it or hold it unless the
American flag hangs over them where
ever they go. The diplomacy that en-
sures their protection and the main
tenance Of their rights is al once the
diplomacy Of dollars the diplomacy Of
patriotism. There have been no doll
ars no sense and no patriotism in the
diplomacy Of the Wilson administra
tion. Globe Democrat.
