Is II a Crime?

A so-called peoples paper takes
a number of Corporation" to task
for announcing that they intend to
fight any increases in taxation at
elections two years hence. This paper
leaves the impression with its readers
that corporation is virtually in the
criminal class for fighting against
taxation which is threatening TO con-
fiscate its property.
II is such metropolitan yellow journ-
alism as this that we have to thank
for the rapid growth of our tax bill.
These papers fool the public by say;
ing: "Let the corporations pay" But
who pays the corporation ip order that
it may pay its taxes? No one but
the people"
Let the people get this idea clearly
in their heads, taxation is part of the
cost of doing business which the ulti-
mate consumer must pay. 1t makes
no difference in what form it is col
lected. the man who makes the last
purchase pays the total tax.
II few common citizens would joir
with the corporations which are con
demned for fighting against confisca
tion of their property through taxa
ton, we would have better admins
tration of state and national govern
ments and our tax bill would begin t.
decrease instead of constantly increas

Sugar Beets Increase Other Crops

Economists who have studied the
subject have come to the conclusion
that food production does not keep up
with the increase of population be
cause we have depended upon an In
creased acreage to produce this in
creased production, rather than an in
creased production per acre. Anything.
therefore, that will increase the pro-
duction of food per acre will directly
benefit every resident of the United
States.
Observing farmers who have grown
sugar beets for several years have
learned that there is large increase
in the production Of other crops fol-
lowing beets. This at times reaches
us high as 100 per cent.
These results are not problematical.
but have been attained in Europe in
actual practice over long term Of
years. The fostering and protection
of the growing of.sugar beets anywhere
in the United States automatically
lowers the high cost of living.

Year of Floods.

Fred Harris, manager of the Two
Buttes Reservoir Co, was in Lamar
last Saturday coming down from
northern Montana. He informed us
that every river and stream he cross
ed cnroute was up and booming. He
says the SHOWS of the last winter all
came late ard did not pack and freeze.
Therefore the first rains of the spring
melted them and started
all the streams to running at once.
This with the extra heavy rainfall
would account for the fact that there
are so many more floods than usual
throughput the Rocky Mountain region.

A Lesson in Bargain Government.

Promises of the Nonpartisan League
in North Dakota seem to be one thing,
results another, and the league lead
ers have been wonderfully long on
promises but short on beneficial re-
suits. The Nonpartisan League in
North Dakota, under its Socialistic
plan of state government, promised
the farmers wonderful results in the
way of getting them better prices for
their crops through state-owned in
dustries, cheap money, etc. North Da-
kota was to become the farmers para
disc
After seven years of league control,
the result of class Legislation and
league domination in state affairs has
left North Dakota a poorer but wis
er commonwealth The bonds of that
great state seek investors who refuse
to buy. The political prophets who
promised SO much seem unable to
change the world price of farm pro-
ducts for the benefit of North Dakota
farmers. These prophets, however,
have been very successful in changing
the North Dakota taxroll-upward.
A system of government and its
administration is just about as stable
as the intelligence and effort the vot-
ers put into it, and in the case OF
North Dakota, intelligence was sub
ordinated to visionary schemes and
promises which were unable of fulfill
ment.
The people are paying me bill, but
this generation, at least, is learning
that ii takes more than promises and
the power to tax, to establish and
maintain industries, payyrolls and
government.

INHERITS CHEWING
GUM FACTORY
"Broadway Jones" Has Fun With it
at Chautauqua.

George Cohan wrote Broadway
Jones. That accounts for the class
the play has. Mr.. Cohan konws what
the American people want and be-
sides, Cohan can write screamingly
funny things as well as decidedly in
teresting plots. In Broadway Jones
Cohan reached high mark.
The New York papers were full of
praise for weeks after the>premier per
formance of this real American play.
Broadway Jones, about to be married
for money, finds that he owns a big
business. He also finds that owning
n big business does not necessarily
mean that he is wealthy. How his
considerably tangled affairs finally
work out make an absorbing play.
