HE WAS SOME ACTIVE
PATRIOT

A good many people are taking al
interest in the tax question and are
anxious to get their own property
assessed just about right, and the
property of their neighbors assessed
on an equality with themselves. A
visitor at the county seat recently
told of a neighbor of his who had
100 head of hogs. The deputy as
SCISSOR came along and listed all the
property which the fellow would give
in and the number of hogs listed was
three. Passing on to the next neigh
Dor, the second neighbor listed one
head of hogs. The assessor looked
over the two fields and asked who
all the droves of hogs belonged to.
The second man informed him that
the hogs all belonged to the other
man whom he had just assessed. The
assessor mumbled a few things and
lit out back to the first mans house,
hunted him up and had some words
with him about hogs. The first time
the two neighbors met after that, the
first man did . not speak to the
second man, but passed him up like
lamp post.
Question: Did the second man
need to feel at all embarrassed or
Inundated or as if he had done
wrong in having this kind of a fall
ing out with his neighbor? Is such
a neighbor as that worth a contin-
entail anyhow? Is he entitled to be
listed as patriot and a decent citi-
zen? ;, Is he entitled to the protection
of the flag at any time? Wouldn't
it be better if we published his name
and told his post office address and
which particular farm he lives on?
If you have neighbor like that look
him up and see just how much he
listed with the assessor last year. 1t
might make interesting matter for
you to compare with your own tax
list.

add anything to the income of a

She was a sensible woman, re-

A WIDOW WHO

One day a widow appeared in

she understood that all widows were
entitled to pension and she was not
getting it.
Judge Good questioned her at
some length to find out just what
were her circumstances and why she
needed pension and found that she
was a woman in good circumstances
and not in need of pension at all.
He explained to her that the widow

FARM BUREAU ACTIVITIES

The national association of the
farm bureaus of the United States,
as shown by the addresses in the
convention held last month, are
working on four main projects: The
marketing system, to SO organize the
consumption and delivery of farm
products in the market that the sup
ply shall move in an orderly manner
to all the places of consumption and
never glut the market anywhere.
They are working ON credit sys-
tenn to be brought about thru legis-
lation which will give the farmer the
same standing in business matters
that have been given to merchants
and spectators. This included stor-
age facilities for storing the imper-
ishable farm products and issuing
certificates that shall be negotiable
whereby the farmer can draw SO per
cent or rs, per cent of the value of
his imperishable goods and that are
in bonded warehouses properly in
sured. Then it can be delivered to
the places of consumption as needed
without Cutting the market and
running the prices. For the perish
able goods they propose to keep
things SO we'll organized that the
central organization shall be able to
tell where potatoes are needed and
when and never let the market be
glutted and thereby destroy the
price.
The third project they are work
ing on is to get an adjustment of the
freight rates for the benefit of farm
ers in moving their produce, so that
they in common with others shall
pay fair and just rate, but not be
paying dividends on watered stock.
Thru the activities of this depart
ment in connection with other forces,
they have already eliminated a great
deal of the. watered stock from rail-
road business and when the rates
are fixed for hauling freight, it is not
fixed on a larger capitalization that
actually exists. 1t is their purpose
to go on making further adjust
ments in these matters.
Their fourth activity is that of
legislation. They have established
Legislative department to look after
matters of legislation and to try to
get such laws enacted as will es-
tablish the credit system spoken of
in paragraph two. They have COM
mittee of seventeen of the leaders |
of the largest farm organizations in
the world such as the Society of |
Equity and others, working out plans |
to secure the orderly moving of all |
farm products. to the points of con-
to avoid Quitting the mar
ket or having a famine or shortage
of these products at any place at any
time.
They have a committee of fifteen
men working on similar project to
control the movements of livestock
to the places of consumption and to
try to eliminate the middle men in
the market, who have so fortified
themselves that man cannot ship a
carload nor a trainload, for instance,
out of Blackfoot, Idaho and sell it.

Considering the Pittman Act in its
practical working operations has appar-

against the producers of gold and silver
in the Black Hills of South Dakota, and
in other mining localities where U. S.
Assay Offices are maintained, in limiting
assay ers in charging payment for local

Second-Considering that the Dead

handle all the bullion produced in the

at the earliest possible moment to lend
their active assistance and efforts to
bring relief from the present conditions,
