of 1000 a year $25 would be saw

1.-The basis of progressive tax Is
ability to pay" Hedges declared. III
the way is open for those having the
greatest ability to pay to escape the
higher rates by investing in the tax
free bonds, the actual result is that
we have a regressive tax, a most un-
desirable kind.
ut must be admitted that If the tax
exemption privilege is not permitted
that it might necessitate the issue OF
bonds with a higher interest rate
than exempt bonds now yield. How
ever, even IL the gain at present
would not offset the greater interest
payment necessary without tax ex-
emption the tendency is for the own
ership of the exempt securities to
concentrate more and more in the
hands of the wealthy and sooner or
later the loss in revenue will be enor-
nous.

for winter pasturage, more barley for
hogs and a general program OF diver

portant address on the necessity for
action on the part Of the farmer
Agriculture pays every cent of
the. money needed when any city
votes bonds. The only way to stop
this is, to stop patronizing the city
near by in which the farmer has no
vote. If that were to happen, the
city would not last long.
Learn about farm organizations.
The Farmers Union in Kansas alone
saved each farmer enough money on
100 pounds oaf binder twine to pay
for two years membership in that or
ganization.
Confidence is Lacking.
1.-The trouble is that you men
haven't got confidence in each other.
That should not be. Take steps to
change this condition.
Get the proper men at the head of
your organizations and not only that,
get behind them and see that
proper advice is given them. No one
man is big enough to take over the
operation of the Farmers Union with
out outside assistance. It's up to the
farmers to give this assistance.
Don't be a chronic kicker II you
don't happen to like certain policy
which has been decided upon by the
pull for 1t anyway. The
iNAds of the majority usually reach
something pretty near the truth.
Child Protection Urged.
"Have you figured how many OF
YOUR children will be able to own
their homes under the way business
,s conducted at present? The answer
Ia that 90 per cent Of our children
will never be in a position to own
their homes.
Don't take my word for It; look
IL up and see for yourselves. Don'

busy yourself"
