Helping the Farmer

President Harding demanding tina
the government help the farmer gene
ously and sufficiently, in a financia
way has said more in one speech THAI
some presidents said in four year.
says Arther Brisbane.
The government has financed tn,
railroads, endowed banks, with its
national bank system and its deposits
in banks.
Meanwhile the farmer has done the
best he could with his nor .agos.
high interests and lawyers fees.
Praising the president for his stand,
which is bound to produce results, it
is necessary also to praise the So
called farm bloc.
1t has compelled attention, which is
the only way to get attention in these
days If YOU want anything. fight for
1t. You learn that from Ireland.
AS long as you don't fight YOU
don't get anything, You learn that
from India.

GOING INTO DEBT

1t was a commonplace of the thrifty
economists of an earlierdaythatd debt
was something to be avoided in all
circumstances and at all costs. Capt.
tai to lend was then scarce ard most
ly in the hands of the usurers. The
man who borrowed put himself into
the power of the money changers"
and was likely in the end to lose
everything in the hopeless struggle to.
lift the burden he had assumed.
To-day debt is not necessarily a bad
thing. When it is incurred in order
to find the money for ordinary living
expenses, ~eXtravagant or otherwise,
it is wholly bad; it then becomes the
worst of misAortunes or the most
foolish blunders. But when the bor-
rover is merely in search of addition
al capital, which he expects to turn
to such advantage that he can soon
repay the loar, it is a different mat
ter. There are few business men, es-
p%ecially among those who are conduct
ing healthy and growing businesses,
who do not find frequent occasion to
borrow; and so ample are the re-
sources of the banks that such men
can usually borrow without paying
unreasonable rates Of interest.
But there is one thing to be remem-
hered. Borrowing, especially on a
mortgage and for a rather long period
of time, is likely to be profitable
when prcies are rising but DISASTROUS
when they are falling. In the one
instance the borrower is getting a
costly dollar and repaying with a
cheaper one. In the other he gets
a cheap dollar and has to pay back
one that is worth a good deal more.
From the reconstruction period in
the late sixties to the end of the in
dustrial depression in 1896 prices, fell
not without intermission, but on the
whole steadily. That was not a good
to 90 into debt, A good many
men who tried it-husineSs men and
alike-ended by going into
bankruptcy. On the other hand, the
years from 1896 to 1920 were a time
IF generally rising prices. Business
men made money and farmers found
hat the land stock they bought with
borrowed money became more vaiu-
able every year, They prosEered
wen while they went into debt.
Apparently we have entered upon
period of falling prices. How long
t will last Or how far prices will fall
10 one knows; but for the present
t is the part of wisdom to be cautious {
bout borrowing money. Be reason !
bly, sure you can see your way out
'efore you go into debt.-Exchange. .

HE SPOk IN TIME

The pastor who counseled a young
woman of his flock against MARRYING
a young man whose family history
revealed his unfitness for marriage is
to be commended. The aggrieved sui
tor proceeded TO bring another suit
against the minister; but 4 jury, after
very brief dcliberation, has brought
IN a verdict for the chergymer.
II everybody showed the same
courageous frankress in giving warn
ing to those contemplating matrimonv
there would be a considerable reduc-
ton IN the number uf noneupenic
marriages, There would MOI be so
many innocent children paving for
the marital mistakes of their progeni-
tors, Marrying parsons" and COM
PLEASANT justice of the peace with an
eye to the foes and not to the unborn
often sin against the future of the
race, AT present those who insist on
mental and physical w~ell-being as a
prerequisite to a matrimonial alliance
are to some extent pathfinders: be-
fore long they will find themselves
on a broad and beaten highway
travelled by the thoughtful norton Of
mankind.

also are showing results.
Admittedly action is being taken

they must have it.
Now, no n not even Secretary
Mellon, knows how much il will cost.
Congress likes to hope the outlay will
be no more than ST. o 900. 1t may
reach easily three times that figure
by the time the last dollar has been
paid back by the taxpayers.
Naturally, Republican leadership is
troubled. The Administration, is

do to the tax schedules? How is the
money to be raised without the tax

Must 1t come out of a sales tax Not
{ the well-sharpened seythes of the
