FAIR N

The Valley County News lays claim
to being the champion for all that is
good and right. Editor Ananias
Rhodes has demonstrated this on
many occasions:
Is he not the friend Of the railroad
men and the laboring class, as he has
shown on several occasions when he
printed articles that branded railroad
employees as arch-criminals?
Is he not safeguarding the inter-
ests Of the taxpayers, as he has shown
on various occasions, and especially
at the time of his attempted "Three
thousand dollar Steal?"
Is he not looking for honesty GU
in public officials, and continually ex-
posing those whom he cannot cor
rupt?"
Is he not especially fitted to be the
morals censor Of the community
through his own faultless and aawless
career?
Is he not especially qualified to call
all men Crooks" and howl "dishon-
esty" at public officials, simply be-
,,,co ho &c Horipv tho uovarnropt
and because he himself never at
tempted to fitch the county treasury
| of more than three thousand dollars at
one time?
Is he not right in his views, and
| should not the public take his ideas
as being the only correct ones?
30 We leave the nswer of the above
to our readers. They need no explana-
ton. We offer no apology for deviat-
ing from our policy to "boost" and
never KNOCK" but in this instance
we feel that it is excusable.
And we continue to wonder if that
person was not correct who said that

case with Thrift Day-the o one
celebrates the more n saves!
It was and is intended that Thrift
Day should be celebrated. The uni
versal interest and wholesome re-
Spouse indicates that to be the &C
copied meaning. In ON localities it
has become a very important affair in
business, social and home life inso-
much that entire communities have
responded in concert. Rousing mass
meetings have been held with speech
es and special music. The city Off
Gals, newspapers and prominent citi-
zens have made the Day II of spe-
cial, personal attention. Individuals
have organized clubs; clubs into CO.
operative organizations, and these
into town, city and countrywide thrift
movements.
The beneficial effect has been so d.
rect and certain that the improvement
in personal, home and civic pride is
noticeable in many ways.
Many results like these shave been
accomplished although Thrift Day is
scarcely a year old. This one coming
will be the second annual observance
and bids fair to exceed in enthusiasm
the first.
Thrift Day should be a real, enthus.
iastic celebration. And those who
celebrate can go the limit of radica
thrift without even so much as /;
headache the next day. All the en-
thusiasm of the Esprit of '76" can b.
applied to the Thrift of '17"; and tn,

FEDERAL LAND N

An erroneous impression is extant
that a stock limit of $780, 900 and a
mortgage loaning capacity of $751;
00O, 900 is put upon each of the twelve
federal farm loan banks. As matter
of fact, says the Spokesman-Review
there is practically no limitation of
law upon the amount of stock and the
volume of loans that may be issued
and made by one of these banks. The
volume of business they may conduct
will be restricted only by the market
for the bonds they will issue to OBJ
tain more money to put out on mort
gage security.
The $75O,O0O stock issue of the Spo-
kane bank, for example, is only the
starting minimum. First it will be
offered to the public, and such portion
as may not be bought by individual
subscribers will be taken up by the
government.
Then the stock issue will automati-
cally increase under the requirement
of the law that each farmer taking out
a loan shall also purchase stock to the
extent of 5 per cen of his mortgage.
| An endless chain is thus set in motion
more mortgages, more stock; more
increased authority to lend more
money and sell more bonds. The
system, in fact, has capacity to alb
sorb the entire farm mortgage bust
ness of the United States, provided
all the farm borrowers should choose
to do business with it in lieu of deal
ing with the private mortgage COM
panies.
When the farm loan board was in
Spokane this feature of the law was
preached by an inquirer, and Herbert
Quick, one of the commissioners,
promptly said: "If the law had put
a limitation of $75O,OOO stock and
100000 900 mortgage loans on each of
the twelve banks | should have de-
clined appointment to the board, for
l should have felt that the plan Of
fered too slight an opportunity for
me to be of real service to the farm
ers of the United States" Other
members of the board c%oncurred in
Mr.. Quick's opinion.
The system is comprehensive
enough to take care of every farmer
who may want a longtime loan at a
low interest rate, providing he has the
land security to warrant the making
of a loan. There is excellent reason
to believe that in a few years its bust
ness will be measured in billion phases
rather than in terms of millions.

Unlike the editor of the Valley
County News, We do not apologize for
wasting this space on a subject which
we do not consider worthy of atten-
ton. Exposing a lie is usually un-
necessary. The truth will out no mat

scurrllous attacks the News has been

officials. He has distorted facts, and
made statements that are direct lies

THINK THIS OVER

If the Valley County News is not trying to make political cap
ital out of the examiners report to wreak personal spite against
Mayor Kent and the city council, what then is the real motive?
is it YOUR idea of fair play to question a mans honesty when you
know nothing of the facts in the matter? Would you Judge a
man guilty because a sensational newspaper attacked him? Don't
you think that the Mayor with his ENORMOUS salary and the
councilmen with their Sc per month should give all their time to
conducting the citys affairs? Have you ever stopped to consider
the thousands of chances for an error under the present system Of
bookkeeping, as prescribed by the State Examiner? Do you know
for a fact that the News has opposed civic improvements that
have since proven a benefit and a saving? Do you know that the
financial condition of the city is excellent at the present time?
If you don't, would you Judge any man a criminal, as the Valley
County News would have you believe?
Every man, woman and child in Glasgow should know the
facts in the case; that the News has been caught again with a
deuce in the hole" and forced to a Showdown"
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF A NEWSPAPER WHICH
WOULD DISTORT THE FACTS TO VENT Personal SPITE
AND WORK AN INJUSTICE TO HONEST MEN FOR THE
SAKE OF FURTHERING SELFISH POLITICAL MOTIVES?

of getting people to "read the News"
Behind a cloak of feigned reforma-
ton and with the "holier than thou"
attitude. he has attempted to blacken
the character of men, whose standing
in this community is beyond just re-
proach.
To some. the articles which have ap-
peared in the News, make appeal.
They are bound to, for persons not
conversant with local conditions will
usually believe newspaper articles, no
matter how untrue they might be.
Rut those who know the tactics pur-
sued by the News to "knock' worthy |
ENTERPRISES and throw mud" at hon.
orable men, for the sake OF gaining
circulation, understand the motives
which prompt the articles, and take
hut little stock in them, n would
think that the editor of the News
would be the last one to howl graft"
and corruption" at officials, consid-
ering his own past actions. 1nvesti-
cations and hints at dishonesty are his
long suit, And we have little doubt
but that a chronological examination
| of his Uranium would reveal a sack of
poisonous pus in his perverted brain
which has an outlet through his Shiny
editorial pen.
The motives for the News attacks
on the city council at this time are
very plain. Real news is scarce, as
times are quiet, and gossip" and
"scandal" is lusciously read. He turns
his newspaper into a yellow" rag
for the sake of a few paltry dollars.
Possibly there is someone 'higher up"
who is using Rhodes as his tool to
further political ends. However, in
either case, it is deplorable that a
man calling himself an editor of a
newspaper should prostitute his call
ing to such an extent as to sacrifice
the real duty of his publication for
purposes that are a disgrace not only
to the profession, but to the COM
munity.
All of Rhodes statements regarding
the ine%ficiency of the city council
have proven direct lies. The fair
minded people of the city will see that
justice is done, and that there is "fair
play" They will understand that the
Election" dope Rhodes has been
spilling over his front sheet is in con-
formity with the policy of the News

ments.

them out.

Continued from page -

an invitation to Mr.. Rhodes to take a trip upstairs in the kundie
building and satisfy his curiosity.
8. Then if these items have been accounted for which Mr..
Rhodes has been bowling about, whose move is it? Is Mr.. Rhodes
man enough to come out in the open for once and retract? Taking
things for granted and publishing them as the truth, thereby SOW
ing poisonous seeds of suspicion and discomfort among people not
conversant with the facts is a serious affair.
d. With reference to a shortage of a former city clerk, this
shortage was reconcled by the city auditors check and every cent
due the city was turned over. Did Mr.. Rhodes take the trouble to
learn these facts before he began his mud-slingng campaign at
the city officials?
5. Referring to the three dog tags which City Marshall
Baynham says were lost, we would ask if this is not possible, or if
the majority Of the people think like Rhodes that "Nick" lost them
purposely? 49,,
6. The thousands of dollars of the peoples money which
are being poured every month into this hopper of DELERlCT
(probably means dereict) municipal incompetency," can be &C
counted for to the last penny by the city officials. This is no idle
statement. 1t is a fact. And it is kept in a place where it is safe
from the "pap-hungry" fingers of the Valley County News.
