 Well, Blackfork. I'll have to give you little trimming" and then surely that will be the last. While you are thinking" that MT. Cleve- land caaused the low priced cotton under MT Mckinley, you may tell us what caused it to drop clear $620 per bale in one year under another Republican president, and then about $lo0 per bale in one years time un- der still another one, and that too when there wasn't any Cleveland around, and, toe, you might explain whg il. dropped from r Il cents per pound in 1903, to II 1-2 cents per pound in 1904 Was that due to somebody's "stale pie?" If so, whose. Do you know that 26 years out or the 40 that the Republicans have been in power since 1864, that cotton sold for less than it did the year before? And did you know that nine years out of the 16 that the Democrats have been in power that it sold for more than it did the year before? Or do you really know any thing at all about the cotton ques- tion?

THE FORD OWNERS

No less a person than Chairman
Fordney of the ways and means COM
mittee, who comes from Michigan
where automobiles are, made, rises at
once to protest against a fat $40 au-
tomobile tax. II must be agreed that
this particular proposal does not seem
to have been studied with sufficient
care before being put forward. The
political consequences--to say nothing
of the justice-of taxing every owner
of Ford as much as the owner of a
car de luxe, costing thirty times as
much as a Ford. would be serious. Il
would give point to the charge that
the tax burden was being transferred
to the masses. Henry Ford is not a
political power, but the Ford owners
and owners of other cars, moderate in
price, have become too amazingly
numerous to be disregarded. In it's
original form the proposal will un-
doubtedly be abandoned.-Springfeld

sations were furnished by revelations
of what appears to be deliberately
organized system of graft on the part
of the business agents" of the build
ing trade unions. But that was not
the only nor the most important thing
brought to Light.
F1agrant ns is this evil as deter
rent to building, it is p mere bagatelle
to the toll on building investments lev
led by tire money lenders. One "Mort-
gage Corporation" Units discounting
second mortgages at 20 per cent. Of
ficials of large insurance companies
confessed to adopting the policy Of
calling in or foreclosing on real es-
tate loans at or 6 per cent, in order
to lend the money of their policy hold
ers to builders at double these rates or
more. Such extortionate rates for the
hire of money seriously handicap in
vestment in building enterprises.
There are more than one million
families in America today practically
as homeless as if their dwellings had
been destroyed by fire or hurricane.
For the greater part, they are not ac-
tually lacking shelter; but they are
making shift in one way or another to
get along by crowding into already ov-
ercrowded quarters. They are exist
ing under conditions that are q re-
proach to decency as we'll as a menace
to the public health. ......
"All the traffice will bear" is exact
ed. The interest rates on so safe and
solid security as real estate are such
as would be warranted only by loans
involveding extraordinary risk.
Yet there are people who are call
ing for the abolition of the slim re-
naming vestiges of our usury laws!-

more bushels of wheat were received

statement does not make any cornpar-

UNCLE SAM TO TEACH THRIFT

The American people last year, it is
reported, spent $4,000, 100000 for nom
essential things-for commodities and
amusements and excursions and what
not which were not necessary for
them.
And, aroused by the terrible news,
the thrift division of the treasury de-
partment is said to be preparing a
campaign against nonessential spend
ing.
1t is undeniably true that the Amer
ican people need little instruction in
thrift. 1t is equally true that the
present era of industrial depression
with its diminishing pay rolls and in
creasing unemployment, IS performing
a considerable educational function
of its own.
In recent years the American peo-
pie spent money like the proverbial
sailor. The wiser heads perceived the
situation and urged the spenders to
slacken their pace little, to do with
out few silk shirts and expensive
shoes and $100 suits of clothes and
put by little of the surplus earnings
in the savings banks or in good bonds
against the inevitable hard times.
No heed was paid to these well
meant efforts. The spending carnival
was on and everybody blew his money
as fast as he could, The profiteer and
the recent millionaire were just as
bad as the laboring man who for the
first time found himself able to enjoy
luxuries he had always craved.
Probably, whether the thrift divi.
sion intervenes or not. the expendi'
lures of the United States for 1921
will show a much smaller amount
spent for non-essentials. And gooC
many men who spent all they earned
while they were working at high wag
es, when they get back on the job
will know enough without government
intervention, to save a portion of theil
earnings.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

The Supreme Court tells the 6. o. p.
leaders in Missouri that the lying
declaration, "for the peace and well
fare of the State" attached to an en-
actment does not make it immune
from the referendum. 1t is one in
stance when a lie cannot be made to
serve the purpose of the God-and-
Morality crowd now in political con-
troll. This must seem singular to them
since falsehood is their principal stock
in trade.-Ironton Register.
