MESSAGE TO CHANGERS

THE demagogue and the small pol

self in office, is habitually Saving"
the farmer with noise, buster and
bunk, whose chief aim is to SOW seeds
of discomfort among the agricultural
classes, to kindle and keep alive a
feeling of mistrust Of government and
hatred toward leaders in business and
industry, whose chief stock in trade is
perpetual promises to cure the farm
er's ills by legislation, can find scant
satisfaction in the annual address OF
Louis J. Taber, master of the Nation
al Grange.
In the address there is no ranting
against the predatory interests, no
denunciation of big business, no bid
for socialism, communism Or radical
ism. AS matter Of fact much of the
address might well have been from
the pen of such a "hard-boiled reac-
tionary' as Calvin Coolidge.
s'The farmers problems are econ
omic and not POLITICAL" says Mr..
Taber. "Their cure will come through
adherence to sound business princi-
pies and not thru legislation. We
have cold contempt for the army of
politicians who belittle the intelligence
of the farmer by insisting that his
prosperity is dependent on their sup
port. True, the farmer needs legis-
lation the same as labor, finance and
industry, but legislation at best is but
an enabling act. Self-help and not
governmental help will secure real
prosperity. Orators have expounded,
commissioners have Investigated,
writers have given us a deluge Of
books and literature On the farmers
condition and it's cure, with little
benefit.

seriously increased the farmers diff
ficulties during the last few years.
We must recognize, however, that the
major steps toward the solution of

HOW 1T HAPPENED

THE fact that at the recent cleo
= ton the voters of Massachusetts
voted overwhelmingly against ratifi-
cation of the child-labor amendment
to the federal constitution, prompts
Labor, the official organ Of the La
Toilette campaign, to inquire: "Why
did Massachusetts, which has the
most advanced child labor law in the
Union, refusing to vote to emanci-
pate the child slaves of the South ?"
That's the answer. The people of the
Bay State voted against the federal
amendment because they have al
ready solved the child labor problem,
because they believe the prevention
of child labor is proper function
of state, and not of federal govern
ment.
Not all child labor is harmful. The
question of whether it is Or is not
harmful, is determined very largely,
if not exclusively, by local conditions,
consequently the several states are
much better qualified to say to what
extent child labor should be prohi-
bited than is the national government.
We haven't met up with any one
yet who will argue that for Kenne-
wick children to be employed in the
"gainful occupation" of helping to
harvest the strawberry crop is HARM
full and should be prohibited by law.
On the other hand this form of child
labor is looked upon as beneficial ra-
Their than harmful, so much so that
the school term and other affairs
of the community are ordered so that
child labor in the strawberry patch
es may be encouraged rather than
prohibited.
The people of Massachusetts can
not be charged with being in favor
of child slavery. Their own child
labor law proves they are not but
by their votes they have shown they
realize that child labor cannot he
satisfactorily dealt with in the abb
stract, that local conditions determine
its harmfulness and that local con-
ditions cannot be fully comprehended
in constitutional amendment.

the pathway toward prosperity if w

the pathway toward prosperity if we
but gather wisdom from experience
and utilize all the advantages that
education, organization, cooperation,
science, and invention can bring, and
then apply it with business methods
and common sense"
On the question Of taxation the
national master Essays: Taxation,
based upon the ability to pay, and
for the benefits received, should re-
main the basis for the levying OF fed
eral taxes. On the other hand our
tax system should never be confis-
catory or sufficient to deaden indi-
vidual thrift, initiative and ambition.
While the prime purpose of taxation
should always be the securing of need
ed revenue and not the regulation of
wealth, yet tax system that has a
tendency to stimulate the creation OF
saving of wealth and to encourage
the use and diffusion of this wealth,
rather than one that has the effect
of concentration and disuse, should
be advocated"
Of a protective tariff, Mr.. Tabor
has the following to say: The pro-
tective policy appears to have become
the policy of the nation, as we have
lived under tariffs high Or low, for
almost century. America is defin-
itely determined to maintain high
er standard in our land than obtained
elsewhere. Those who till the soil
are in complete harmony with this
program, and are determined that this
better standard of living, the advan-
tage of tariff walls, restricted i'm
migration and regulatory legislation,
given to industry and labor, must
reach agriculture. A great task for
the craftsmanship of the next quart
er of century is to bring tariff
benefits to all those who produce
the food supply of the nation"
The full text Of Mr.. Taber's adj
dress is well worth reading. We COM
mend it to the consideration Of all
members of the Grange.

was a foregone conclusion that the
national democratic ticket in this
state was lost cause. Knowing
this, the national democratic COM
mittee made no effort to organize
and carry forward a campaign in the
state. In fact, the party in this state
was without leadership. The nominee
for governor virtually abandoned his
party and went trailing after LaFol-
lette votes and during the last days
of the campaign there was an open
attempt on the part of the party
heads to fuse with the LaFollette
forces. This was done with no hope
of bringing success to the democratic
party in the state but was an un-
worthy surrender Of party principle
and a misalliance intended to throw
Washington into the LaFollette col
umn. Fortunately for the state of
Washington and the democratic par
ty, the attempt did not succeed.
In short, Ben Hill and other dem
ocratic chiefs betrayed the trust that
voters of their party had placed in
them. Their acts should not soon be
forgotten by those who, are demo
Gratis by conviction and believe in the
broad and fundamental principles Of
American government and the policies

THE WIZARD VISITS
nR. HIRAM WESLEY EVANS.

NJ. dlRAM WESLEY EVANS, of
= Atlanta, Georgia, Imperial Wiz
ard of the Ku Klux Khan, who is tour
ing the Northwest, told an audience
in Yakima that the school bill has
not been lost. eve will have it up
at the next election and it will pass.
If necessary 1 will come here to de-
vote my time to the passage of the
measure" DR.. Evans declared.
There. was no misunderstanding re-
garding this bill at the last election.
No initiative measure, since the pro-
hibition law, was more thoroughly
discussed or given more serious con-
sideration by the electorate. The peo-
pie of Washington said in unmistak-
able terms that they did not want
the law. At the next election this
same people may feel that they are
qualified to handle their own politi-
cal affairs without interference from
the gentleman from Georgia.
"a few more elections like the last
one will be sufficient notice to paid
professional agitators that the state
of Washington is not fertile territory
in which to peddle their wares, and
it matters not whether these agita-
tors and breeders of discomfort, be
preachers of socialism, communism
or anarchy, or race-haters and reli-
gious fanatics.
