This condition of affairs is sure to
exist during the next scholastic
year. In fact. those who should
know are strong in their estimates
of the increased number OF lads who
are to be registered in these war
time courses next fall. Hundreds Of
lads who formerly would have no
chance OF going to college are to
have their way paid through by
Uncle Sam. The demand for tech

have been turned into war centers.

are the Committees on Appropriations,

err committee which Is at any crisis In

the most important of all, the Commit

Not only does each important Senate
committee have a Southern Democrat
for chairman, but the majority of each
Senate committee is composed of Dem
ocrats, under the rules which give the
party in power the majority of each
committee. The only way to change
this is to place the Republicans In pow

States have chairmanships.

not yet been put upon final passage.
The next and most misleading at
tack to be launched by the liquor in
t~erests will be based upon the impu-
dent and untrue claim that in the
incorporated cities of Nevada the IL
quor interests are paying an average
Of one-ffth of all taxation.
Upon this absolutely false claim the
liquor dealers will insist there must
follow, If they are put out Of business,
a twenty per cent increase in taxes.
Already the vets have laid the basis
for this propaganda. Two weeks ago
the Nevada tax commission made pub
lie a statistical document alleging 10

county and state governments from
direct taxation and from liquor
licenses.
This document entirely omitted
from these revenues the enormous
amount of taxes raised by district
school taxation to which the saloons
contribute nothing in the way of Ii
SShoS ldAdliOu.
BY no sound system of economics
can the saloon be proven a source of
revenue to n community. 1t pro-
duces nothing necessary to human ex-
~istence. The money which il derives
from its sales must of necessity be in
the community before it is spent with
the saloons. IL this money is not
spent in saloons it is reasonable to
suppose hat Ii will be spent with
local stores and other mercantile
houses selling articles of food. cloth
ing and comforts for the home.
A leading argument made by the
saloons is that they bring money into
a community" that a considerable
part Of their receipts is derived from
transient non-residents.
In fact but a small part of their
income m from transient trade.
And this amount is so small as not
to be comparable to the enormous
sums which they monthly remit TO
nonresident wholesale houses. not a
cent of which is v returned to the
local communities from which II is
drained.
Every voter Is warned against the
e~xtravagant eleyenth-hour propaganda
which Is certain to be scattered broad
cast throughout Nevada in the closing
days of the campaign. The liquor in
terests have repeatedly sacrificed ac-
curacy in their newspapers and pla-
card publicity. which only deserves to
be ignored.

WHAT OF FARMER IN
AFTER-WAR PERIOD?
viii Southern Interests Be Per-
mitted to Control Recon-
struction2

The increasing prospect of peace
brings to the foreground the problems
OF the farmer In the after-war period.
1t Is an economic axiom that the pros
perity of the American farmer de-
ponds largely upon the wages and
therefore the food purchasing capacity
of American labor. Anything which
would cause a general industrial un-
rest and idleness would strike heavily
at the market of the American farmer.
When war orders are stopped and
armies are demobiltzed, unless we pre-
pare in advance for the transition to
the peace period. there is sure to be a
vast amount of unemployment, and 1t
will inevitably reduce not only the
number of domestic purchasers Of food
products, but will tremendously re-
duce the general level OF prices of
food products.
As one illustration A high official
In one of the munition making plants
in the United States is authority for
the statement the moment peace is de-
clared he will have to discharge $4,000
employees pending the reorganization
OF the c~ompany's plant TO q peace pro
duction basis. 1t is ~conservatively es-
timated that the declaration of peace
will certainly throw 100000 laborers
out OF work unless provision is made
in advance by farseeing statesmen to
take up this slack. The Importance Of
having this preparation for peace well
In hand before peace arrives Ia very
apparent.
The Republicans In Congress srst
saw the necessity OF preparing for
peace, and Senator Weeks, Repub-
lican, OF Massachusetts introduced a
bill providing for a bipartisan commits
sion to begin work Immediately upon
the after-war problems. One section
Of this bill is devoted wholly TO the
problems the farmer will meet after
the war.
The Northern farmer has received
little or no consideration from this
Democratic Congress. Everything has
been l~egislated with a view of taking
care of the Southern planter and
Southern agricultural interests. II the
next Congress is controlled by the
Southern cotton interests the same IA
voritism will undoubtedly be shown in
handling reconstruction problems. The
hope of the Northern farmer having
his interests looked after depends up
on the election of a Republican Con
gress free from Southern domination

closed is not inspired by malice or a
desire to harm any man or business.
1t is a part of the march Of progress.
The saloon contributes nothing of per-
manent good to society. 1t contributes
much that is evil.
In the great struggle for democracy
against autocracy the saloon means
costly, perilous waste at a period
when the state and the nation need to
conserve every energy and every re-
source. Its wne and employees are
needed in other work-in work OF ma
tional need. And when the period OF
reconstruction m the need for its
owners and employees in helping re-
build and restore the depleted indus
tries and resources of the nation-by
engaging in essential occupations
will be even greater.

Who GIVES MONEY
AND Who Gets IT
Official Data on South's Contribu-
ton to Third Liberty
Loan.

In a recent Issue OF the Literary
Digest there appeared a series of adj
vertisements inserted by a Southern
advertising agency on behalf of the
newspapers of Southern states. One
of these ads reads in part as follows :
Subscription OF the Southern people
to Liberty Bonds exceed the average OF
the United States. Returns from sub
scrtptions for the Third Liberty Loan
show that every Southern district very
largely oversubscribed it's quota . .
How did this happen7 No one contends
that the southerner Is more patriotic
than the rest of his eountrymen. But as
the above figures show clearly that he
invested more literally in Liberty Bonds
than his brethren. there Is only one
reasonable deduction-he has more money
to spend. You can't get away from
II. You don't have TO wait TN
harvest time in the South, as In thu
North and West, when the farmer Ia
supposed TO have more money. Every
day is harvest time in the South"
This effort to make 1t appear that
the South did more than its share In
subscribing to the Third Liberty Loan
is not sustained by the data issued by
the United States Treasury Depart
ment. The official figures taken from
the treasury departments report of
the Third Liberty Loan shows that the
Fourth Southern Federal Reserve Dis
trict subscribed only $685. 1855 out
of a total national subscription of
S4,1765l6,S50. or only about is per
cent. of the total subscriptions of the
United States, Notwithstanding the
four Southern federal reserve districts
comprise one-third of the federal re-
serve districts of the United States.
The $639,965,050 the Southern states
contributed TO the Third Liberty Loan
is but tie than the amount of
money the government spent In those
states building army environments.
camps and other military plants. In
other words, the South did but little
more than lend to the government the
equivalent OF the millions In real
money the government had actually
given the South. Counting in the mil
lions OF dollars northern soldiers sent
to southern camps and friends of
northern soldiers visiting them in
southern camps spent in the South, the
South did not lend the United States
as much money In the Third Liberty
Loan as the United States had spent
In the South since April, 1917. In
other words. the South did not draw
upon Its own wealth OF normal income
