cation and fraud. History has many
instances of fraudulent registration

100000 stay-at-home voters, it is
estimated that 10 per cent of these

giving due consideration to this con-

movement calling for curb on cam

important factor because money is
necessary to defray public workers in

from its expenditure.
This gasoline tax of 6 cents to ~
cents a gallon placed upon us by
poor roads is not the only tax we pay
to poor roads. Definite figures are
lacking, but experience of gravel IN
dicates that such roads are extremely
hard on tires. They also place up
on us taxes of unknown magnitude
because of the added repairs required
and the shorter life of automobiles
used on poor roads as compared with
those run on good road surfaces.
Engineer Phelps figures are held

all the direct tax money used on the
trunk highways, particularly because
of showing that Minnesota mainten-

MOBILIZE" he continued. Taking the
weight of an automobile as IA tons
with gasoline costing 20 cents gal
lon, each mile of travel would cost
two cents for gas on earth roads,
l 1-3 cents on gravel and only 9-10
Of cent on concrete. In other
words, when the car reaches the end
of the concrete and starts down a
gravel surface, the extra gasoline re-
quired costs as much as tax of 6 2-3
cents per gallon. And when it
reaches the end of the gravel and
starts down the average poor earth
road, an additional cost of 10 cents
per gallon is the travellers tax caused
by the poor road.
"Thus these figures prove that our
poor roads place a gasoline tax upon
us three to eight times as great as
the Washington legislature placed
on gasoline for good roads. And this
poor road tax has the added disad-
vantage that we receive no returns

considerably cheaper to drive a car

Highway Engineer H. E. Phelps,
of the Washington College of Engi-
neering, in discussing the effects of
road surfaces on the cost of running
autos and hauling loads, says:
eff wye had concrete surfaces to
drive on, we could pay a tire tax of
81 per cent and still spend no more
money for tires than is required for
our present road surfaces. I"
Mr.. Phelps pointed out how exper-
iments have proven how a gallon of
gasoline is needed to haul one ton

ty-one miles on gravel, and thirty
one on concrete.

On account ot disabilities from the war many can to carry out previous plans nor fol- low the trades for which they were htted. The able bodied cannot pro- cure paying jobs and therefore cannot support families. There is small mi nority who do not need bonuses but they are anxious for their comrades. The able bodied and disabled need a start. bonus will start them.
 The people of the country within their states have in small measure helped them. The people believe that they need compensation or they would not help them or try to get them a bonus. The people have done enough to show their versions proving that the eX-s service men deserve a bonus.

CAPITALISM.

It is more amusing than otherwise the way certain schools of agitatois and economists prate about capital ism,' as if it were some terrible mOn- ster destroying the substance and lib- critics of the people.
 Capitalism is based upon individua, thrift and judicious investments It is what the industrious man accumu- lates over and above his immediate necessities to set aside against the day when through age or inii:mity be can no longer earn.
 He may invest it in life insurance, in corporate properties or deposit it in banks and trust companies to be invested for his benefit.
 The capital thus judiciously accu- mulated and judiciously concentrated enables the business leaders of the country to construct great industries great transportation systems and oth- CT agencies to promote the progress of the nation, the convenience and com fort of the people and augment their wealth.
 It is the savings of the thrifty upon which Americanism is based
 Communism or common ownership which would efface capitalism would destroy individual thrift and industry and in the end would compel the pru- dent, industrious worker under a reign of tyranny to support a vast crowd of indOlent and worthless crea- lures who would not be producers un- der any system.
 Capitalism has many drawbacks, but none compared to those one would experience under communism.

Dispatches indicate that California has killed the goose that laid the gold en egg. For many years agitators in that state have endeavOred to legis- late the Japanese off the farms of the State, and now that this has been done and thousands of acres are lying idle with no chance to induce white far mers to take hold and farm them, the State is badly worried. Some 53,000 Japanese are taking their money and migrating to other States, which is not what the law intended Legisla- tors wanted to please the laborites, but they also realized that the Japa nese represented several million dol lars in investment. They cannot have both. Farm products have jumped up in price and production has decreas ed tremendously. But it is bound to adjust itself, as such things do.

SOLDIERS BONUS
(By Patricia Raw


 One of the greatest questions of to- day is the Soldier Bonus There is much difference in opinion on this matter.
 The Soldiers Bonus is a problem which, when solved, will evolve much good. Many of the men who fought across the seas came back to find that their jobs were gone and they were left destitute. Others came home With a leg or an arm missing their eyesight gone, or their senses shatter- ed by shellshock. These boys must have some way to live.
 The best way for America to show her appreciation of the brave men Who fought for her is to settle the Soldiers Bonus favorably.

 Did you ever sleep in trench where the mud was two feet deep? No? Well that was just one thing our soldiers had to endure. Were you ev- CT a cripple without work and starv- ing? No? Well some of our soldiers are just that today. We may say "too bad" but does that help it any? No! Warm clothing and food are the only remedies. And who deserves them most than our shell-shocked and legless soldiers? Our soldiers not only need a bonus but they deserve one. Many men who stayed at home and worked were rewarded for their services and drew large salaries be- sides. Is that giving the ex-soldier d square deal? Of course not. So let us try today to give our boys what they need and deserve-a bonus.
