c. v.

The subject Of this sketch is one OF
the leading farmers of Wright county,
and that he has made good nobody
will deny. MIR. c. V. Ashworth was
born in Virginia, October B, 1851. From
there he removed to West Virginia, and
in 1907 he came to Wright county and
bought 4 farm n mile north Of Mans
field, on which he now lives, however
he has added wealth to his other real
estate holdings since he came, and he
is now we'll and conveniently fixed and
has IN excellent and comfortable home.
Mr.. Ashworth manages his farm in II
very general way, but he is making n
specially in Shorthorn Durham cattle
and Southdown sheep. His stock is
all well kept and cared for, and they
are given every opportunity for n
thrifty and rapid growth.
There is one thing OF which Mr.. Ash
worth is proud and that is his Amerl-
canism and the red blood which cours-
es in his veins. While he was too young
to fight for the Union cause, yet he
was old enough to feel his blood boil,
to get into the conflict and wanted to
help uphold the Union cause. He is
proud now of his sons who are doing
their bit for Democracy and the liber-
alton OF the world. John, a son, II
swered the first call for volunteers, and
is now somewhere in France" help
ing to wave the Stars and Stripes over
the Eastern continent, and establish
the freedom of the world. d. D., an
other son, felt the blood of his ances-
try, and answered the call to the colors
and volunteered, and is now a lieuten-
ant at Fl. Dodge, Iowa. This young
lieutenant is a recen graduate from
the University OF Morgantown, West
Va, and holds a diploma as a practic-
ionel of the law. His oldest son, Rob-
ert, is a physician at the penitentlary in
M%oundsville, West Va. Mr.. Ashworth
has out OF II children, . who have be.
come school teachers.
Mr.. Ashworth is justice of the peace
Of Pleasant Valley township, and his
ourts are always conducted in a fair
and equitable manner, and where JUS
tice is sought, no one need to fear his
decisions.
Miss Lula, IA, the youngest child of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ashworth, looks after
the poultry ranch and takes great pride
in her White Leghorn chicks. She also
keeps the books for the farm and looks
after much OF the business, even in the
Justice office.

KEEP DOWN NEEDLESS
LEGISLATION.

Sending more business men and
property owners to the Legislature
will have the good effect of reducing
the volume of laws.
A Chicago judge said recently that
whenever the people of Illinois hear
a good joke they proceed to enact it
into new law.
This is not peculiar to Illinois fol
witness the law making wearing OF
hat pins of certain length amendable
for carrying a deadly weapon.
There are anti-expectoration laws
urder which half the men, women and
children who walk the street could be
arrested for splitting on the walks.
The man or woman who follows
politics for a living must make q
showing of activity, must be busy do
ing something to attract attention.
Not so with a business man, an in
dividual responsible for property
payrolls, industries. They have toe
much to do to be meddlers or tri-
fers.
This is a time when those who are
active in swelling the volume of legis-
lation creating new offices and in
creasing public taxes should be kept
out of the legislature.

PROFIT EARNING AND
PROFITEERING.

In these days when patriotism more
than ever is the highest virtue, and
the countrty's safety the most con-
spicuous necessity, profteering as
sumes q hidcous aspect. 1t is capital
ling the worlds woe; usury drawn
from worldwide calamity. 1t is the
most despicable of all civil crimes
f is treason.
But normal property must not be
COMPOUNDED with profteering.
Profits are always relative. The in
dustry with a capital of 100000 can
not legitimately earn profits on gov
eminent work of $5OO,0O0 The in
dustry with a capital of $100,000,000
would probably be underpaid by re-
turn of 100000. Large profits must
come from large business or business
VIII not grow.
Profit making and profteering,
therefore, are two very different and
contrary ideas. The first must be en-
Outraged as definitely as the latter
must be suppressed. War taxation
hould be based ON the same distinc-
ton Profits which are a capitaliza-
ton Of the wars necessities should
be taxed without restraint OF con-
sideration, qualified only by the effect
on production. But returns which are
only the natural result of successful
enterprises are, no more no less, the
subject of just taxation than is all
other property No taxation which
strengthens the nation in this crisis
S to be criticised. But unrestricted
or unseasoned taxation, or official
condemnation of the reasonable profits
u legitimate business will destroy the
oiigin and source Of the country's
commercial strength This in its past
analysis is its war strength. The dis
tinction between profit earning and
pIofteerinr must not be lost sight of.
