CITY MAN HAS
BIG ADVANTAGE
over farmer
New York Has Billion and Hall
Tax-Exempt Securities Now
Outstanding.
THEN WHY TAX FARM BONDS?
Guy Huston Shows That Proposal to
Tax Joint Stock Land Bank Bonds
Would lnjure Farmer and Raise
Interest Rates on Farm
Mortgages.

New York city alone has outstand-
ing 81, 450, 100000 Of tax-exempt bonds,
and there is a total of $4,000, 100000 of
tax-exempt municipal bonds outstand-
ing at the present time. Hundreds Of
million Of this amount are invested in
electric Light plants, water works, mu-
nicipal docks, subways and other large
income-producing properties. ;. Then
why deny to the farmers of America
the right to borrow few hundred mil
lion dollars on tax-exempt bonds2
This was the question raised
by Guy Huston, president of the
American Association Of Joint
Stock Land Banks, in January at
a hearing before the senate COM
mittee on banking and currency. A
bill, known as senate bill 3109, which
would repeal the tax-exemption feature
of the farm loan act as applied to the
bonds of joint stock land banks, was
before the committee and the argu-
ment urged by the supporters Of the
bill was that the government needed
the revenue. Mr.. Huston showed that
these farm loan bonds constituted less
than one-third of one per cent of the

DILIGENCE.

Our word, diligence, is from the La
tin, 'diligencia." 1t means the quality
of being diligent; interested and per-
severing application; devoted and
painstaking effort to accomplish what
is undertaken; assiduous industry !;
careful attention. Industry has the
wider sense of the two words, imply
ing an habitual devotion to labor for
some valuable end, as knowledge or
property. Diligence denotes earnest
application to some specific object or
pursuit which more or less directly
has a strong hold on ones interest or
feelings.

Of war and all the misery, suffering and

next great war is being glibly discussed
in every clubroom where military men

us few months ago that the last con-
fict was war to end war, but are now
demanding increased appropriations for
military and naval expenditure. Re

The Other Side of II.

The little sum of $500, 100000 which
the experiment in government operation
Of railroads cost the taxpayers may
seem large sum but it will not look so
large to the average citizen after a year
or two Of private operation with a fifty
per cent raise in rates. The principal
difference will be that the loss to the
government during the past two years
was on the account of war conditions
and the deficit may properly be charged
as a war expense. It was largely paid
out of the income and war profits tax
and was not felt by the average citizen.
Under private operation with freight
charges increased fifty per cent the
farmer and working man will pay the
freight. If government operation had
been continued at the former rates and

business conditions became normal

Is Justice impartial?

In the Hennepin county district court
at Minneapolis, the other day, man was
sentenced to six months in the state
penitentiary for manslaUghter in the
first degree, after being found guilty by
a jury of killing fellow-workman with
piece of pipe during quarrel.
In the same court, another man was
sentenced to the state penitentiary for
"a term not to exceed five years. for
stealing $1,000 worth of jewelry, having
plead guilty to this offense.
Judging from the punishment imposed
upon these two men, it is far greater
crime to steal jewelry than it is to take
the life of fellow human being, even
though the thief pleads guilty, while the
murderer proclaims his innocense and
demands trial by jury.
Such is the wise impartiality of our
laws! Justice is, indeed, not only blind
but deaf and dumb, also.

A Rude Awakening.

While the country has been rejoicing
over the defeat Of Compulsory Mill
tary Training, the Senate has slipped
one over. In the Wadsworth Army
Reorgar ization Bill IS. 1892, which has
inst rassed the Senate, there are no
p1ovisicns for universal military train
ing. but Section 50 provides that when
ever Congress and the President shall
declare-(note the significant language)
"naticnal emergency to exist, then
he croft laus, conscripting all males be-
tacetn the cges cf 1S and As into military
serrice, sIaU co automatically into effect.
TLis Senate has no mandate from the
American people to decide whether the
me, war" shall be fought by volunteers
CT by conscripts. That shculd be left
10 tke reople to decide. England, on.
March of this year, definitely abandoned
conscription as military policy. II
We permit the draft acts to become the
ornament foundation for our military
policy, then compulsory military train
ing will follow naturally enough. The
next step after that will be law de-
priving the conscripts, as in Europe, OF
any right to protest against a proposed
war. They wiH be under military con-
troll.
Furthermore, the curious phraslng
of the bill suggests that Senator Wads-
worth has in mind using the draft, not
merely for wars, bt for ciril disturbances
as ueH. Is it possible that he recalls the
spectacular case with which M. BRAND,
in 1910, smashed the French railway
strike by summoning the workers TO the
colors" and courtmartialing all who re-
fused to work? 1t looks that way.
Write or wire both your Senators and
your congressman in protest against
Sections 6S, "a and rs of the Wadsworth
Army Bill. They constitute bulwark
for reaction.
