Well, we now come TO the third epi-

destitution that existed at the close
of the cruelist war ever known, no
money, nothing TO live on, many houses
and farms burned and torn to pieces.
In the summer or early fall of 1860
one DeIanO with train of wagons
from IrontOwn came overland with
n good stock of goods and opened a
store I'm Pocahontas. Later others
opened different lines Of business but
nothing TO compare with the present
times Soon the steamboats, began TO
ply Black river supplying the people
with commodities that could not be

tically no money. The people began
raising cotton for market but were not
expert cotton raisers as they had never
raised il this far north. Slowly and
surely we began TO rebuild homes, emf
grants came i'm TO help MS and the
establishment of public schools was

Gratis voted for the resolution. Our Con-
gresham voted against it, While Mr. Old
field was making speech against the resolu-
tion he was asked if various farm and labor
organizations did not come before the Ways
and Means Committee and ask for the pas
sage of the resolution. Mr. Oldfeld's reply
was: 'It would not make the slightest differ
ence on the face of the earth to me if every
farmer in America should come in and
ask me to support this proposition | would
not do it because know they are not right
about it." This vote shows that Mr.. Old
field voted in favor of Wall Street and the
bond holders who pay no taxes on bonds and
he voted against the masses who pay taxes.
Question. Who are the most favored
by the non taxed bonds? Answer. The ex-
treme rich who invest in tax exempt bonds.
Question. Does the issuing of tax ex-
empt bonds make any difference with the
small farmer and laborer who does not pay
an income tax? Answer. Yes, it increases
the cost of living.
Question. How does it increase the
cost of living? Answer. 1t takes a certain
amount of money to run the Government.
When the rich invest their money in tax ex-
empt bonds they do not pay any taxes. Then
the tax on the manufacturers is raised in
order to get enough money to run the govern
ment. In turn the manufacturers raise the
price on their goods and the consumer pays
the taxes. Enough money is wasted by our
National Government and Congress to give
every child in America a college education if
properly used.
