The question nUw IS: Does agricul-
ture get the benefit of the subsidy
the benefit Of this tax exemption?
1.-THE joint stock land banks claim
that agriculture is benefited. They
claim hat the government and that
the people as a whole will be more
than compensated by the increased
production and by the lowering of the
cost of living.
Agriculture requires a different
kind of financing than that required
for commercial business. We have
large commercial banks the country
w that provide millions of dollars
of liquid capital for commercial bust
ness without income tax or any ex.
pense whatever excepting what the
bank may levy. Now a farmer wants
to finance his farm for the production
of cattle, he wants money to build up
q herd of thoroughbred cattle. He
goes to his banker and says: I need
100000 The banker says: All right,
I will finance YOU The banker writes
out q note for six months.
Longtime Loans Needed.
"Now can you imagine a man, upon
q six months accommodation, going
into an industry or business that cam
not be really developed short of five to
ten years? And yet the farm is a fac
tory and nothing else. No mai would
undertake to build up a great mani
featuring business depending upon his
ability to get capital, upon six months
renewal basis. A manufacturer has to
have his short-time accommodations
for liquid capital required. But his
permanent capital, the thing which
makes the base of his factory, must be
obtained for a long period of years.
'sThe farmer wanting that kind OF
capital must go to a commercial bank
and get it, and he must get it on a six
months renewal. So he is subject, like
the commercial man who makes his
turnover every 60 or 90 days or at
least every six months, to the same
laws with reference to the money con
dftiOns. That is an impossible condi.
ton for the farmer. Many a man who
has produced meat, for instance, has
been compelled to sacrifice his herd in
stringent tlIHcS ut du dDSOlul0 loss
and many times at so great a loss as
to almost bankrupt him.

THREE PER CENT FOR ADVERTISING.

All over the country merchants are adopting
the 3 per cent method Of advertising and has pro-
ven wonderfully effective.
Actual tests in hundreds of cases have proven
that an advertising appropriation of 3 per cent of
the previous years gross sales has increased the
business SO and one-third per cent.
This increase doesn't happen the first week
after the advertising campaign starts, however,
it is the cumulative effect of a campaign carried
on regularly and persistently for a year.
If the 3 per cent were all spent in one grand
blow it would be wasted, but continued over the
entire year every week or every day or every 9th
er day it is the surest business builder in the
world.
Big city stores spent from 5 per cent to Z per
cent in order to get the enormous volume of bus
mess they require.

Representative Joe DAVIS has written back to
the home folks at DeKalb to be ready to go down
in their jeans and pay taxes. He says in a letter
to his home paper: "Now, this will be the last let
ter from me while we are in session; but lest you
forget, let me stress the fact that your dogs have
been taxed, and everything that you can think
of-things hitherto unthought of have been re-
membered by the progressive legislature of 1920.

The Union, South Carolina, Times "spoke a
mouthful'' of absolute truth in the following edi-
torial: William. Jennings Bryan would not make
a bad president. The whole south, at one time,
was quite willing to see him in the White House.
But whether he gets anywhere with the nomina-
ton or not, he is a man to be reckoned with by
the party. And it may be said, too, that Mr..
Bryan, with all the adverse criticisms heaped up
on him by his enemies, stands today as a repre-
sentative of clean manhood and upright citizen
ship in this country. He is a man with clean
morals and high ideals, and no amount of abuse
from men who are his interiors can rob him of
his character. Many a little two by four, out of
the slime in which he wallows, takes a try at
abusing Mr.. Bryan, but such adverse citicism is
in reality a tribute to the great commoner."
