ask himself now and then whether he has really been getting the hot end of human relations that at times he is prone to believe has been his lot Has what has come to him been his fault or that of an- other?
 One of the commonest of the hues and cries raised by mankind from time to time has been taxes. When nations were tribu- tary to others and the conquered were re- garded as slaves that question was apro- pos But the subjugated people usually paid with less whimper than the privi- legged athome
 Cato, says Plutarch was nhonest tax gatherer. He sought not to levy high taxes, but to make everyone pay according to his ability. Cato told gathering of his friends one day that the wealthy Roman men and women with valuable jewels were in bad way; they wished to display their jewels, but they were afraid to do so lest the tax man get a whack at them.
 In the state of Alabama 40 per cent of ones property is exempt under law, be- cause he pays taxes only on 60 per cent of the value, By the time he gets through the shading of the 60 per cent value, chances are that he has reduced his total burden to one under 50 per cent
 Every household has certain articles of home use exempted and there are many exemptions applying to ownership and operation of farms. The tax load is the lightest one. A man would scorn to give less to cherished church, club and private causes than the state wrests from him for all the purposes of state.
 Has any man ever gotten there by put ting up poor mouth? Did the Alabama farmer ever get out of morass by sitting on the roadside and waiting for Uncle Sam or any one else to come along and help?
 Can the world get anywhere if every other man has to stop and help some spiritless creature along? How far would the able-bodied attain if each man carried a double load?
 Denmark was the poorest country in Europe. The farmers established CO., operative purchasing and selling agencies and Denmark has become rich. Did any one help Denmark do this? Did any one give poverty stricken Denmark the means with which to do this? No; the means came, out of the willingness and the head to do.
 Alabama raised sweet potatoes and threw away S10,000, 900 per annum by al- lowing them to rot Then Alabama built alot of cheap curing houses and this spring more than 500 car loads went to market in prime form and commanded high prices
 The raisin growers of California were impoverished. Many sold their vineyards for what they could get and vamoosed. Then the few that were left organized Now the raisin industry of California is one of it's most tWealth-producing
 No man was ever too poor to prevent his getting out of being poor. Poverty does not come from causes without man but from causes within.
 We began to have pure bred cattle in Alabama the very moment we realized that they were better than the scrub. The same with hogs.
 We got the money for cattle and hogs when we quit mouthing about Wall street and the meat kings and sold cooperative ly. The meat king turned out to be fairly good fellow when approached in
