The comfort and happiness of ma.
ton, like the comfort and happiness
of an individual, must always depend
in part upon production of surplus
which affords a guarantee against
suffering in a period of misfortune
There must also be an accumulation OF
savings which can be invested in larger
means of production, including not only
machinery, buildings, livestock, and
mine development, but transportation,
insurance, banking service, etc. Ac-
cumulated savings constitute capital,
and communism is antagonistic toecap-
ital Communism has abolished CAPT
tai in Russia, but, in the hour of her
need Russia turns to capitalistic PEG
pies with a demand for a loan of their
sayings-a loan to nation that boasts
of it's readiness to confscate private
property.

RAILROADS RIDE FOR A FALL

The railroads and the government
are deadlocked again, and as a result
the farmer is to be the victim Ex-
perienced in contests with Washington
the railroad magnates fatty declined
the proposals of President Harding,
and on the heels of the decision
comes the Interstate Commerce Com
missions order, lowering freight rates
an average of ten per cent. The roads
may now test the order in the courts,
and so another long wrangle will be-
gin. The reductions ordered will not
affect farm products, and passenger
tariffs remain as they are, so old High
Cost of Living wins again.
The great wall of poverty from the
railroad men, backed by figures to
show that lower freight rates will be
ruinous was expected. 1t is always
possible to make out case of this
kind. The packers, with millions on
hand, plead poverty and fractional
profits so tiny that they actually turn
into losses at times. 1t is amazing
where they get their millions out of
their losses. Railroad bookkeeping
systems are intricate and possibly mis-
leading If the railroads cannot stand
a reduction below their present rates,
which spell death to the farmer and
high living prices to the public, then
they must be very badly managed.
We are prone to boast of our railroad
systems when those of other nations
are discussed, but the truth is, the
cost of travel in this country is so out
rageously high, that it is a serious
handicap to business. So far as the
freight rates are concerned, they are
hardly open to discussion. They are
a milestone around the neck of the
producer. 1t is true the stockholders
are entitled to a fair return of their
investment, but summed up, either
railroad management is incompetent,
the valuation of the roads is excessive,
or the roads are footing the public
The latter does not seem to be the
fact if figures are to be accepted on
their face appearance. The chief
trouble seems to be that it is impossi-
BILE to reach fair valuation of the
railroad systems because by the time
the compilation is completed, the val
ues have changed. And so the merry
whirl goes ON. The railroads are rid
ing with a high hand again and I'M

There are symptoms Of national
awakening in the matter Of govern
ment, a demand for making govern
ment a science instead of a game The
victory of Pinchot for the republican
nomination for governor in Pennsyl-
vania is one of these symptoms. For
more than a generation none opposed
to the political reactionary machine of
that state had ever been able to stand
before it with any prospect of success.
1t had never known defeat. The ma
chine used its usual tactics in the re-
cent primary to crush it's opponent,
pinchot. 1t labeled him an atheist an
anarchist, a socialist, a bOlshevist, a
single taXer, an advocate Of cOnfsca-
ton, a visionary reformer and a dan
gerous radical. And yet, under the
slogan. Efficient government and clean
politics" he beat the machine. Then,
there is the victory Of Beveridge in
Indiana, and the storm of protest over
the proposed appointment of the slush-
fund politician, Goldstein, to the post
of collector of internal revenue. Seem
ingly, the voters are beginning to
think
