Why the Farmers Tax Stand =?

If the American farmer does not
know that he cannot prosper when
general industry and business are
suffering calamity he has a very
short memory.
1t was only eight years ago that
the grim agricultural history Of
GROVER CLEvELANDs second term as
President repeated itself. A mis-
taken economic policy during Mr..
CLEvELANDs administration put the
shutters up on mills and factories all
ever the country. With American
Industry closed down and its unem-
ployed wage earners standing in the
bread line the American farmer
could not sell his crops for lack of
consumers able to give cold cash for
them. He could not give them away
because there was nobody to pay the
freight to haul them Off. He let his
wheat rot in the fields and burned
nss corn for fuel.
after Mr.. WILSON entered the
White House in 1918 and he and
his party in Congress duplicated the
economic policy Of their party's for
mer control of the Government they
duplicated the blow to national in
dustry and business. Again wage
earners of the mill and factory were
thrown out of employment by the
hundreds Of thousands and again the
farmers crops were becoming not
worth the powder to blow them.
1t was not until the German war
came to put every ablebodied Ameri-
can worker in a job on munitions or
other supplies for the warning ma
tions in Europe that this new pur-
chasing power of consumers at home,
coupled with the demand abroad, sent
agricultural prices soaring.
To-day the American farmer is
once more demanding better home
markets for his products. But If he
does not realize that he cannot find
such markets until the industry and
business of the country get up on
their feet again, with workmen earn
ing the pay with which to buy what
they need. then ell his bitter expert
ences Of the past count for naught.
IL the American farmer believes
the cheerful idiocy that he can bene-
fit his own business by preventing
the tax relief which is necessary to
the health of all business, then he.
is the dupe Of his economic guides
who so badly mislead him and the
victim OF his Congress agents who so
dangerously misrepresent him.
Water will freeze on top of a red
hot stove before the farm products
of the country will turn into gold so
long as the country's business is kept
fiat on it's back and the pockets OF
millions of consumers are empty.
What is the matter with the Amer
lean farmer that after all the les
sons of the past he stands out with
economic quacks and political trick
sters against a sound, practical and
necessary. tax system?

Autumn Night.

Now when rain falls dimly gray
And the damp creeps on the floor,
when the rnisted street light wavers
Like a ghost beside my door;
The wind runs round the corner
Breathless, on hurried feet,
And the leaves blow brown and drag
gled
Past my window down the street :.
On this night without a star
Oh, can but think of you,
And the fire that keep piling
Is to warm your body through.
And my song to make you smile
While the busy kettle purrs,
And my hand that rests in your hand
So contentedly and stirs,
So contentedly until
Burnt out fagots snap and fare;
Then my drowsy eyes are wakened
And I look--you are not there!
Shadows, shadows by my hearth,
In the corner, by the stair;
Moving. shadows. deep and lonely,
In the hollow of your chair. ..
What have to do with them
And the monotone Of rain?
why must tears be ever dripping
Down and down my window pane?

But better far, a cop
A millionaire he'll be or there
Abouts. without "A stop!
A captain or inspector
Becomes a bull or bear,
And works a pull and throws the bull

A corner and make good.
Their touch becomes like magic
Turns everything 70 gold.

Just raise him for a cop.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: I wish
to advise American stenographers not

secure employment at fair salary, but
conditions have changed In the past
year. Many are out Of Jobs and those
who have been frugal and saved their
money are leaving the island. There are
practically no jobs open now and little
prospect for the immediate future.

Japan's Fight for Trade.

Unemployment in Japan has in
creased to such an extent as to form
one Of the most perplexing prob
lens Of the Government, according
to the investigations of THE New
YORK HERALD's special staff CORE
spondent. 1t has now become the
part OF the men in charge of Japa.
nese affairs to find room and occupa
tion for the teeming millions which
overcrowd the. empire, and Mr.. Sci
BOLD expresses the difficulty of this
task when he quotes Japanese au.
thority upon labor conditions as say
ing that "there are FIVE men for every
job in the industrial field, with the
demand constantly falling"
There is in this condition more or
less Of a surprise. The world very
generally believed at the end of the
war that Japan had taken more ad-
vantage of the situation than any OF
the. other belligerents and that she
had enjoyed an unprecedented indus.
trial and economic prosperity. The
benefits, however, did not, Mr.. Sci.
BOLD points out, fall to labor but
rather to comparatively limited
number of individuals.
The Government itself was one OF
the chief beneficiaries of the war
time prosperity; it made enormous
profits out of its monopoly on muni
tions of war and in the marketing
and transportation of its products
Labor charges that in these trans
actions the Government did not deal
quite fairly with it and that this
fact is largely responsible for the
unrest throughout the empire, an
unrest which has disturbed Japa.
nese statesmen a good deal more
than they care to admit"
1t was not until about year ago
that japan began to be aware of the
defiation in business which had set
in over the remainder OF the world.
The first reminder. was in the col
lapse of the silk market, which put
an end to the receipt of new orders
and reduced the running time of the
mills to about one-third time. Then
followed a heavy drop in the export
of tea and the failure of several i'm
portant banks and business concerns.
The general depression in business
is shown in the export and import
figures which Mr.. SEIBoLD produces
for the first six months of this year
as compared with the same months
o. 1920. The exports show decrease
in that period of 246, 6,156.1S7 yen, the
imports a depreciation Of 17S,77S,905
yen, making total depreciation of
424 4,935,192 yen.
IL is clearly evident that all of
Japan's perplexities are not con.
cerned with the upbuilding OF her
army and navy. She has fight be.
fore her to recover her business and
her trade, and not the least inter.
esting feature of this struggle will
be the part which labor will have

Hylanisnn.

The Mayor of New York ought to
be good business manager. He
ought to be able to pick both honest
and capable assistants for the head
OF every department for which he is
responsible to the public. He ought
to know the difference between a
competent worker and a political
heeler, straight policeman and a
crooked policeman, a square munich
pal contract for the benefit of the
public and a graft municipal contract
for the benefit of private pocket.
The Mayor of New York ought to
get the schools built that are re-
quired for the children of New York.
He ought to suppress crime, throttle
squander and hold down the taxes.
If JOHN F. HYLAN possesses any of
these qualities of business sense and
administrative capacity to the de-
gree that is demanded for the fit con-
troll and management of the affairs
of New York he has not exercised a
single one of them in way to i'm
