STATE RURAL CREDITS
ANSWERS POLITICIANS

There is good reason of course, why con-
servative politician should be believed on matter
concerning farmers his big business hackers,
but the fact is that many farmers do believe them
in part whole, believe them enough to vote
wrong or to have pep for their own interests.
The demonstration which stands out strongest in
minds is the state rural credits system Of
South Dakota. This system put in by old party
politicians to keep Leaguers out of office, but that
does not detract from it demonstration Of what
the government can do. ....e-.,
This South Dakota system has put nearly $42,-
100000 into farmers hands on longtime loans at
low rate of interest These loans in fact never

WOULD ASSESS
PROFITEER FOR
COST OF BONUS
Capper Says Stay-at-
Homes Should Pay
War Bills.

Washington, Aug. 29.-Announc-
ing his support of the soldiers
bonus as nothing more than
square deal for the boys who did
the fighting" Senator Capper, Re
publican, of Kansas, told the, SEN
ate today that 1.-The war profiteers
and the peace profiteers owe a
bonus to the soldiers Of the World
war"
There is no better guarantee
against militarism than to require
the men who profit out of war to
pay for it," he said. Those who
remained at home made enough
here in the United States to en-
able us to pay many times over
| the debt we owe to the men who
fought our battles. Wall Street
wants to pay it with a sales tax,
which would be paid largely by the
farmers, the laboring people. and
others in the form of tax on food
and clothing and other necessities.
"Profiteering during the war pro-
duced one American millionaire for
every three American soldiers
killed in France. l would like TO
see the government recover the
hundreds of millions OF dollars
stolen from the treasury by the
crooks and grafters who profiteered
off the government in war con-
tracts and then use that money to
pay tre soldiers bonus. Then there
Is another way we can realize this
money. Let's 60 after the billions
that the foreign governments owe
US, collect the interest promptly
and pay it to our soldiers. There
is no use Disgusting the fact that
our international bankers want US
to wipe out this foreign debt. II
will make their foreign securities
that much stronger.
IF we decline to cancel this deb
these governments probably vii
, try to bororw more money from u.
to pay us what they owe. So fdl
) as / am concerned, l will nevel
vote to cancel one dollar of tina
debt, and l will never vote to lent
another dollar of government fund.-
to any foreign nation"
Senator Capper said the mos
powerful influence against tn
, bonus was the United States Cham
. ber of Commerce, which h
charged had taken a referendum
, Of it's membership not on the meas
!, ure before congress, but on
!. measure Of its own "concocting."
: "Only IS per cent of the cham
ber's membership voted upon tn
proposition" he continued. "and
large proportion Of these vote
came from the large centers of in
dustry.' In spite Of this only on
