Dearth of Country Labor.

Farmers in Marshall county not only
are confronted with the nationwide
seed shortage but Il tremendous labor
shortage as well.
The Government is asking the soil
tillerS to raise crops as never before at
the same time thousands Of able-bOdieu
farm workmen have been taken from
the fields into the army and thousands
Of others have departed for the muni-
ton and army supply centers, where
they are working in factories at pre-
vailiny war wages
Nothing much can be done in the
country without farm help. The fields
of Marshall county are Of little avail
to the needs Of the country without
men to till them.
1t is admitted that many schemes are
under way to help the farmer. The
Boys Working Reserve. with thousands
of youths enrolled for farm work this
summer. will help some. at least lit
tie: exchange of workers from the
cities and towns to the country will
help more. But to be sure, in this
year of intensified farming, the situa-
ton as to labor is none too good.

Really No Leather Shortage.

On no Jess an authority than the
Latin-American division of the T., s..
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, it is clearly Indicated that there
is no serious leather shortage in the
United States. -.
Our country is multiplying by several
times Our normal purchases of hides
and skins from South America, says
the bureau, Otfsetting the decrease of
production of hides in the" Emitted
States. Imports of dry and green calf
skins from South America doubled in
five years, and green cattle hides more
than trebled: importations of other
kinds of skins and hides also vastly in
creased.
Argentine's last census of live stock
gave it half as large supply of live
stock as exists in the entire United
States. Our nation imports hides from
six other South and Central American
countries, so that this source of supply
can be considered inexhaustible.
The leather and shoe interests of the
United States have been telling us ever
since the war started that the shortage
Of leather made the price Of shoes
high, etc. You could get all the shoes
you wanted, however, by paying the
boosted prices.
There also is no excuse for putting
paper instead of leather into Shoes
during war times.

Autos Add to Land Values.

Since the advent Of automobiles in
Marshall county more than s. year
has been added to the value of every
parcel Of land in the country ever pass
ed by machine;
This land is more valuable because it
is more accessible by auto. This cheap
and easy transportation system for men
and goods is making it's influence felt
on land throughout the entire rural
sections of the United States.
We tax automobile owners and tax
about everything else-only land values
are not taxed adequately
A man who puts up house is taxed
that much more-which approximates a
fine, He is fined for the business he
does, the income he makes.
That's all right-there is no kick
coming from any reasonable men ex-
cept that the small man pays most Of
the taxes.
Justice, however, demands that the
unearned increment put on land-many
times unused landry the community
be partly recovered by the community. .
This plan is not popular with the
fellow holding unused land-but neither
are other forms Of taxation by the
fellows paying them.
There is no reason, for instance, why
unused land in Marshall county should
not be taxed sufficiently to force it into
use, either by the men who hold it for
speculation or by somebody who will
buy it from them.
It is different with land in use
that's earning something through what
it produces, enabling it to pay taxes;
such land, by the way, should not be
forced to pay more than it's just share
Of taxes. because unused land is paying
less than its just share. a.. a,g,t,sf

Debs Arrested
On Charge of
Seditious Talk
Continued from page 1

,ernment is not prosecuting these men
because they are Socialists"
Following are extracts from the
speech Debs delivered recently to So
clalists at Canton, Ohio, and on which
the charges against him were based:
DO not imagine for one moment
that all the plutocrats and Junkers are
in Germany. We have them here in
our own country, and these want our
eyes focused on the Junkers in Ger
many so that we won't see those
within our own borders. have no
earthly use for the Junkers of Ger
many and not one particle more use
for the Junkers in the United States.
"They tell us that we live in great
republic. Our institutions are demo
cratic We are free people. This is
TOO much even as joke. 1t is not
subject Cor levity; it is an exceedingly
serious matter.
"To whom do the Wall Street junk
ers marry their daughters after they
have wrung the hundreds of millions
from your sweat and from your life
blood, IN times of war as we'll as peace :?
Ihey invest these millions in titles of
broken down arlstocrats and to buy
counts os no account.
Are they satisfied to wed their
daughters to honest workmen? To real
Democrats? They scour the markets
OF Europe for those who have titles
and nothing else and they swap their
titles for money. And they swap their
matrlmony for more money while the
plutocrats in this country scan the
country with their magnifyine glasses
for evidence of disloyalty. Patriotism
IS the last refuge of scoundrels. It
has been the tyrant who has wranned
himself in the cloak of patriotism.
"They would have you believe that
the Socialist party consists in the main
OF disloyalists and traitors. 1t is true
IN certain sense. We are disloyalists
and traitors to the real traitors
Of this nation and the gang on the
Pacific Coast is trying to hang Tom
Mooney despite the civilized world
Who APPOINTS the Federal courts?
The people? Every solitary one of
them holds his position through the
power of corporation capital. And
when they so to the bench they are
not to serve the people. but they serve
tho interests who ssnt them The
