come the champions of the common"
people, the defenders Of the Ultimate
Consumers, the very moment that bak-
ers and packers increase the prices
of their products made from the raw
material Of the farmer. Why is this?
The answer is plain. The farmers are
a power, tremendous power in poll
tics. The bakers and the packers,
politically speaking, are negative guam
titles.
The Herald rejoices in high prices.
It knows that high scales Of values
tend to prosperity, while low values,
like those that prevailed in the early
nineties, make for adversely. But 1t
does know that one cannot have his
cake and eat it at the same time. It
knows that farmers cannot sell their
hogs at nine cents AMI buy bacon at Is
cents; that they cannot sell wheat at
$3.50 per bushel and buy flour at 81
per barrel.

FARM LOAN ACT.

Another achievement of the Wilson
administration is the farm loan act,
under which it is proposed to furnish
an easy means of credit to the farmers
Of the county as other classes have
enjoyed. It has long been matter
Of regret that the man with small
means who wanted to own farm had
NO market where he could buy one
under the inssallment plan. A farm
has been about the only property that
one could not purchase upon this plan
OF small annual payments and yet If
there is one thing above all others
that the government should encourage,
It is the owning Of homes. A hundred
small farm owners, having fifty acres
each are a much greater asset to the
state and the county than one great
landlord owning 5000 acres and sub
renting it to tenants who have no alld-
ing interest in their community
The small home ewner is the saving
grace in the life of the community. A
community where the land is owned
by absentee landlords has problems
that never confront the community
made up of small home owners. The
community that is composed largely
OF tenants is poor asset to the
church or the school and it has little
interest in roads. The tenants may
be here today or tomorrow or next
year and again they may be in an
other district or county or state. They
have no ties, no real and abiding
interest in the problems that are COM
mon to the community life.
There is no better way to encourage
the small land owner and increase
their numbers than by furnishing
credit for the purchase of land upon
easy terms. Under the farm loan act
one ca1 borrow money to half the
value of the land and pay it back in
forty years ,installments. That is a
young man with $4,000 capital can
purchase farm for $4,000 and have
forty years, IL he desires to pay the
balance, the annual installments being
equal. 1t makes it easy to buy on a
credit and the annual installments of
principal and interest scattered over a
long period of years are not burden
some This law should do much for
the development of the south, the real
land of promise.

looks as II they will have to increase
their allotment, in fact Carlton FIJI
the senior member of the firm stated
today that an effort would be made
while his brother was in Detroit "
have the allotment for this district u
creased as much as possible.
Mr.. Fry stated further that the peo
pie of this country could not AFFORD

going to do everything in his power 70

DIRTY JOURNALISM.

Some time ago the Louisville COur-
Ter Journal, the ardent advocate al
ways of the liquor traffic, printed and
credited to the Nashville Banner an
editorial declaring that Nashville was
suffering from a blight" because of
prohibition. The Banner promptly dis
claimed responsibility for the edito-
rial, but every liquor paper has repro
duced it and refused demand of the
Banner to make correction. This is
little less than infamous, but the Ban
ner has not in the past been altogether
guiltless Time and again when two
years ago The Herald was supporting
Gov. Rye, the Banner misrepresented
its position and refused to reproduce
editorials which in justice to this
paper should have been reproduced as
requested. But that is all over and
The Herald cherishes the hope that
the Banner will never again be so
blind in its advocacy Of any individual
that it will refuse to do justice to a
contemporary. 1t probably realizes
now how cruel it is to be misrepre-
sented. But the Banner has the con-
ISOLATION of knowing that those who
stand sponsors for the liquor interests
are generally powerless to do anyone
harm

PIKE PURCHASE.

! That any very large or overwhelm
ing number of the taxpayers of Maury
county believe that the county court
should rescind its contract for the pur
chase of the turnpikes, if 1t had the
legal right to do so, was not made
apparent in the pike meeting on Mon
day. The only objection made to the
purchase of the pixies at that meeting
was the price paid. And yet the chair
man of the meeting, the very "key-
noter" thereof, is the owner of one of
the poorest pixies in the county, which
he declined to sell at $1,000 per mile,
the price paid for the others. Even If
the Kedron pike was in good physical
condition, its value could not be as
great as pike leading into Columbia,
a city of 5000 souls and the county
seat of 10000 people.
Whether or not the county court
paid 5000 or $500 more per mile for
the pixies than it would cost to build
pixies as good The Herald admits that
It cannot definitely say 1t does know,
however, that it costs money to build
roads, that there are few counties In
the state where any sort Of turnpikes
have ever been constructed at less
than $1,000 per mile It knows also
that in buying a piece of property,
whether for public or private use, the
earning capacity OF the property IS an
element, and an important one, to be
considered in arriving at the proper
valuation. Dividends and surplus are
the controlling factors In the valua-
ton OF bank, industrial and CONNER
cial stocks. Assuredly the farm that
is paying a net return Of six per cent
on investment is a better property
than the farm that will not pay three
per cent on the investment Probably
the actual physical valuation Of the
property Of the Nashville Banner is
not more than 100000, but everyone
knows that because Of its good will,
its large circulation, its earning ca
pacity, it is worth much more than
that sum.
It is very doubtful, every proper
factor considered, If the county can
complain at the price paid for the
pixies. Probably after all 1t was very
good bargain Anyway, the people OF
this county are not anxious for long
litigation in an effort to repudiate a
solemn contract.

Jim Sharp, Ned Davis and John M.
Burns. This committee was empow-

the county court and to ask that a
special meeting Of the court be called
to reconsider the action Of the court
in their determination to buy the turn
pixies Of the county at $1,000 per mile.

COST OF BREAD.

Newspapers announce in flaming
headlines that the government will at
once order an investigation as to the
reason for the proposed advance in
the price of bread This means that
several high salaried experts, num-
Der Of lesser assistants, clerks, stenog-
raphers and attorneys at the cost of
thousands of dollars, will make long
and laborious investigation to ascer-
tain facts that everyone else in the
world, who reads the newspapers al
ready knows. This commission, some
time hence, will probably file volum-
inous report that together with the
evidence, will be published at govern
mcnt expense. 1t will be read by the
tyDesettters and proof readers alone.
This is the general process of gov
ernmental investigation. Everyone ex-
cept government officials, who must
have an excuse for drawing their sal
aries and incidentally provide little
campaign thunder for the administra-
ton knows that bread in this country,
bakers bread, is largely made from
wheat flour, They also know that
when wheat is high, flour Is likewise
high. It is also a matter Of common
knowledge that within the past two
months the price of flour due to the
appreciation in the value Of wheat,
has been increased about 81 per barrel
or thirty-three and a third per cent.
Now -four at SO a barrel will not make
any more loaves of bread Of given
weight and size than the same flour
would make If it sold at Sc the barrel.
The government officials after their
long and laborious investigation, will
doubtless discover this fact.
1t is all buncombe, political clap
trap, that is not going to deceive any
one, to talk about an investigation or
the causes for the increase in the
price of bread. 1t is a matter Of COM
mon knowledge that in addition to the
increase in the cost of raw material
bakers must pay more for rent and
labor and other incidental expenses
than they have ever paid before. Our
government officials and politicians,
who in one breath boast Of the tremen-
dors increase in the value OF farm
products, are seemingly unable to I'M
derstand why middle men and manu-
fActurers who buy raw material, must
have en- increased price.
The politician or governmental off,
cial does not live who ever complained
that the farmers were getting too
much for their wheat or their hogs,
- they get very indignant and be-

ttations which had lasted for more

tiations which had lasted for more
than year. r
Speaking for the county court,
Thomas Y. English, of the Sixth dis
trict, made bold and manly address.
He said that he had worked on the
pike committee for more than a year.
He had gone over every yard of toll
roads in the county; talked to people
In every section anu hamlet of the
county and only two had ever inter-
posed any objection to public owner
ship of the pixies. For months he had
tried to buy the pixies at $3.50 per
mile but the owners absolutely re-
fused Finally trade had been made
at $1,000 per mile; that trade, he said,
was made in good faith. He made it
with the lights before him; he made
It conscientiously without any Interior
motive He believed when he voted to
buy the pixies that he was doing right;
he believed that now and so far as he
was concerned, he would stand by his
act until the heavens fell or he was
removed from membership in the coun-
ty court. This dramatic declaration
provoked wild applause and cheers
There were present Messrs. John M.
Davis, John B. Brooks, Charles S.
Jackson, G. G. Ross. Jasper G. Taylor
Wash P. Russell, and others of the
county court who gave expression to
approval Of the sentiment of their col,
league. So far as known, only one
member Of the court who voted to buy
the pixies has been heard to express
regret for his action. +
Percy Brown, speaking for the pur-
chase Of the pixies, had good deal OF
fun at the expense of the chairman,
whose pike, he declared, had three
bridges on 1t that would not bear the
weight Of small traction engine
DR.. Timmons' motion to rescind was
presented. Then DR.. Anderson, of
Williamsport, moved to table. There [
was division. It is hard to tell which
side had the majority The chair de-
clared the motion to table lost. Then
the crowd left. BY actual count there
we're eighty-five left when the chair,
after the confusion declared the mo-
ton carried. [
This remnant of the original meet
ing, which probaly at one time con- 4
tanned 400 citizens, the court room
being full, then heard a brief address
from Thos H. PEBBLES and motion
hat a committee be appointed to Sc :
cure signatures to petition to the I
county court for an extra session of 1
hat body to rescind the purchase
In the course of the meeting strong
tributes were paid to the county court,
several Of the speakers declaring
Maury county had the best court in :
is history. No attack was ever made
IN the court by any speaker.
