POINTING A MORAL

We have at hand a circular letter
from a milling concern in a nelghbor-
ing city which bears a large seal with
the inscription, Buy goods Made in
South Dakota and the body OF the
letter reads in part, Use products
manufactured in your own state,
South Dakota. We can never build up
a commonwealth, unless
we all patronize our own stores and
industries" This is, Of course, an
automatic truth which we hope is
realized by every citizen of the state.
But this circular letter OF which we
speak bellies the p-reachment which II
sets forth, for up in the corner in
small type appears the name OF d
ST. Paul printing firm from whom the
milling concern purchased its sta
tionery. II they would lend force &c
their argument they should practices
what they preach and buy theii
printed goods from South Dakota print
shops. Stationery printed in South
Dakota is as good as flour made III
South Dakota. People who read this
circular letter and saw that the mill
ing company bought their stationery
in ST. Paul. would probably decide to
follow their example and buy their
flour from st. Paul. II they would
have the public patronize home indus
try they must patronize home indus
try themselves.

NOT EQUAL TO HIS SHARE


In 1920 the net value OF the pro-
ducts of agriculture was $9,S53, OOO,O 600,
according to a recent study made by
the National Bureau Of Economic Re-
search. This was Is per cent OF the
total net value Of the product of all
industries. The number OF persons
gainfully employed In agriculture Is
given by the 1920 census as 10,951, 900
or 1858 per cent of the total gainfully
employed. After deducting from this
sum, the payments to mortgage hold
ers and landlords. there would be con-
siderably less than the Is per cent OF
the net value OF industries to be dis
tributed among the farm operators
and employees. In other words, 26
per cent OF the workers OF this coun-
try received less than Is per cent of
the national income. And these work
ers were the farmers, who work 16
hours a day, and nothing extra for
overtime.

DESCRIBING THE SALES TAX

H.. c. Mckenzie, taxation expert for
the American farm bureau federation,
makes some interesting comparisons
in swinging his axe at the roots OF
the proposed sales AK. Referring 10
President Harding's recent urging OF
the necessity OF an equitable division
among the people Of the national in
come, Mr.. Mckenzie feels this Is not
more vital than the use 10 which the
money is put after ii is equitably di-
vided. He calls attention TO the fact
that the income tax group Of the
American people is really a small por-
ton OF the population, indeed that
when it is eliminated there remain
about 10000, 600 people with an aver
age income Of $500 a year. Consider
ing the other side Of the ledger, the
federal budget for 1922 will amount
TO about $4,000, 900, 900 or about $40
per capita. Adding state and other
taxes, Mr.. Mckenzie figures an az
gregate per capita tax Of $40 or $3.50
for the average American family-a
little more as a fact than the average
income. These figures offer a strik-
ing lesson TO the advocates Of a sales

revenue were raised by consumption

group would get off with an insight
cant payment Of taxes in proportion
to their income, which is their share
bf the national wealth. The savings
would escape taxation entirely. Men
Of great wealth spend only an insight
ficant part OF their income on living
expenses. The result would be that
the poor would pay the piper while
the rich danced TO the music. The
danger in such a system, if this analy-
sis be accurate, lies deeper than the
financial mulcting of the poor. Be

OF discomfort, the rock on which ma

BIG YEAR FOR HOME BUILDERS

All signs point to 1922 as a big year
for home builders, according to the
department Of commerce. The depart
ment's division of building and hous-
ing has studied reports of contracts
awarded, analysed the figures on
building permits and consulted with
builders and real estate men from
scores Of cities, and concluded that
before the year is out the United
States will have begun TO reduce it's
housing shortage of about one mil
lion homes.
Measured in floor space, the aver
age contract awarded during the past
three months stand well above the
1921 average and very close to the
high year Of 1919. With such a start
the year 1922 could easily rank ahead
Of any year since me beginning Of the
war.
Residential buildings have &C
counted for AZ per cent, or nearly half
Of all new construction during he
past three months, whereas during
the years 1919 to 1921 residential con
struction was only 81 per cent, less
than one-third of the total. Home
builders are having first call on the
resources of the construction indus
try.

We are again calling attention TO
the candidacy Of II. w. Blakely for
the office OF Clerk Of Courts. The
people will nominate a ticket next
Tuesday to be voted on at the fall
election. This opportunity is one
which takes the nomination u OF
the hands OF a few and places 1T in
the hands Of the many taxpayers in
Brookings county. The Register is
particularly interested in what will
be done toward the nomination OF
Mr.. Blakely after his noble stand for
economy and efficiency when these
two elements are so much needed
under the stress OF the times when
taxes are high and money so scarce.
Mr. Blakely has been 80 attentive TO
the duties Of his office that he has
been unable 10 make a personal can

hardly be necessary by a thinking

UNCLE SANS BILL

Sioux City Journal-The democratic
press is freely criticising the Harding
administration for is action in pre-
senting Americas bill for the cost Of
land. The French government has ex-
pressed a Of outrage that the
bill should be presented, the Germans
have laughed derisively and the Dem
ocrats in our own country say It was
extremely bad taste, and lacking in
tact, to intimate hat America expects
this bill to be paid. Notwithstanding,
If this is o a valid claim, there is
no such thing as a valid claim.
The question is raised not only in
France. but in the United States, as
to whether our army in Germany has
any legal position. 1t is proper to in
quire how the army happens to be
there. 1t was sent there in the first
instance by President Wilson, under
the terms of the armistice. 1t was
sent there because the allies wanted it
there and at their urgnt solitation.
1t was continued in Germany after
the treaty of Versailles because effec-
tive under the terms of that treaty
and at the continued solicitation of the
allies, who desired its presence as
proof to Germany of the essential
unity of the allies and the United
States.
The claim Of the United States for
reimbursement rests both upon the
terms Of the armistice and upon the
many is required under article 235
Of the treaty to pay 20, 900. 000, 900
gold marks by the end Of April, 1921.
The article then continues:
Out OF this sum the expenses of the
armies OF occupation subsequent to
the armistice on November IL, 1918,
shall first be met. The bal
ance shall be reckoned towards Ii
quotation of the amounts due for rep
aration.
Certainly 'the armies Of occupa-
ton" referred TO in this article IN
clude the American army. The Jour
nal does not assum to be able to es-
tablish the legality Of the claim OF the
United States for reimbursement.
That is a complex legal question. But
in other quarters better qualified to
render an opinion IL is asserted and
supported by argument. However,
The Journal believes that the moral
claim Of the United States to reim-
bursement is unimpeachable, 1t be-
lieyes that the allies are bound in
honor TO recognize the validity of the
claim. Our army las been in Ger
many pursuant to their solicitation,
with the implied understanding, at
least, that the cost of maintaining II
would be net as the cost of the other
armies is met.
The United States government
acted wholly within it's rights In pre-
senting it's bill for reimbursement. 1t
is proper that the bill should be pre-
scented at this time. 1t does not merit
criticism for having done what is
clearly its duty. 1t would have been
open to criticism had it been less
viligant. Why should anyone in this
country be more concerned about the
rights and sensibilities Of a Euro
pean country than about the rights
and the valid claims Of his own
country?
Europe has been, coddlcd long
enough. II is time to do some think.
ing about the United States.
