How PeOnage Starts

Practically all the negroes eth :
er work for wages or work on
shares that IS, the owner fur
nishes the negro and his family
land, animals AID tools with which
to work and the tenant gives the
landlord half his crop for the use
Of the lanj, work animals and tools
As soon as the young negro mar
ries he begins working Ter some
land owner under these conditions.
He never has enough ia cash "a
head TO bay anything in the way
i food and clothing that he and
dis family need; therefore he mnst
gohhe landlord Tor these things.
The landlord either has a planta-
ion store or has arrangements
made with the nearby village or
small town store to credit the ne
gro and charge the account to the
lal dlord. Even il he has an ed.
ucation and keeps an account, he
is not permitted to compare his
books with those kept by the land
lord. The account as kept by the
latter is the one the settlement is
based on at the end OF the year
when the crop is sold.

PROFESSIONAL "EXPERTS" IN
DISCARD

During the eight years of Democrat
ic rule which ended last March the
country was governed largely by pro-
fessional experts. These experts" )"
were chiefly men who were without
practical experience. They were most
ly college professors who had deliver
ed lectures to students on the partic-
ular line of economics to which they
had given their particular study. Then
knowledge of the subject matter
however, was confined almost en-
tirely to theory and when their theor-
les were put into practice they usual
ly developed fatal defects.
The framing of tax laws of the Will
son administration and the assembling |
of facts for the information of legis-
Iators were delegated very largely to
these so-called experts" men who
had never paid any considerable
amount of taxes themselves and who
had never engaged in any line of pro-
duction which would familiarize
them with the actual workings of
economic laws.
The present administration is call
ing to it's aid a different type of ex-
perts. The college professor is be-
ing sent back to his profession, and
the producers of the country, those
who know by practical observation
the problems which American indus
try must meet, are furnishing the in t
and the judgment which i
the administration and Congress need
in forming their own conclusions as t
to national policies. The business of q
he Government is now being run by g
men who have demonstrated their d
by successfully conducting o
private business of their own. il
