PRODUCTION AND
DISTRIBUTION.

The average person working on
a farm produces a third more
than in 1900, government report
estimates. Manufacturing has
made just as good a record, if
not better.
The problems of production are
largely solved. Problems of dis
tribution are not much nearer
solution than a decade ago. We
produce the stuff, all right, but
1on't know how to distribute 1t
: r'y after we have it. Our gene
ration has specialized on produc-
ton. The coming generation will
specialize on NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Don't Lose aith.

There is no need for the peo-
pie to lose faith in their govern
ment, even though the sca"' Is
at Washington grow worse |
day to day.
The pendulum swings
and it must swing back.
After the days of Roosevelt,
when much was done for the
conservation Of Americas ma
tional resources, the subject re-
ceived but casual public inter-
est.
1t is natural that there should
have been Eeaction and there
were in Washington men wait
ing for the opportune time to
grab--and grab they did.
With an aroused public con
science, the national forests
and mines and oil fields will
again be given that protection
which is needed if they are to
be preserved for the future we.
fare of the nation.
There are hundreds of hon
orable and loyal men in public
office at Washington. Relative
ly few have been in on the
grab-fest. These few should re-
ceive the limit of the law. They
should be made examples for
others to see. s
The man who steals govern
ment property is no less a thief
because it was government
property. He should be dealt
with the same as if he had rob
bed bank or a private home.
He Is thief.
A house-cleaning is needed
at Washington. There are
those who are guilty directly,
and they should be punished to
the limit of the law. There are
others who have been indirectly
guilty-thoseL whose business
it was to know what was being
done and who did know but fail
ed to act--these are guilty by
indirection and should be sent
back home to stay.
And this, we believe, will be
done, either by the powers that
be in Washington, or by the
people at the polls in the fall.
With the muck and rotten
ness there still remain hun
dreds of loyal and honorable
representatives of the people.
Democracy still lives, The voice
of the people will be heard
and needed.
Don't lose your faith in that
which we have been generations
in building. At the fcunda-
ton, the structure is strong.

BACHELOR WISDOM

In a certain town a marriage
license cost 81 and dog license
81. Someone brought this up at a
woman's club.
Why should dog license cost
more than a marriage license?
Nobody could tell and some of
the girls got pretty peppety
about it. 1t was decided to call
up the town clerk. He must have

FREIGHT RATES

All the fools weren't dead
when the freight rates were fixed
as We are reminded by a report
from Valdosta, telling of the in
equality of freight rates on
oranges to Valdosta and Jen-
nings, Fla. Although the dis
lance from Jennings to Valdosta
is only dozen or so miles, the
freight on a car of oranges to
Valdosta is S14O more than to
Jennings. For this reason. Val
dosta orange dealers have their
fruit shipped to Jennings and
haul it to Valdosta in trucks.
There are many other striking
differences in freight rates which
the average man finds hard to
understand. Triton Gazette.

IDLE

A tax of 900 million dollars a
year could be realized by putting a
special levy of one per cent year
on the value of unused land in the
United States and Alaska. So claims
Congressman Griffen, introducing u
bill for that purpose.
Griffen believes that his bill
would not only bring in a lot of
revenue, it'd also force into use un-
productive lands held for specula-
ton. The usual objection to such
tax is that it can't be evaded bv
passing it on to consumers.

Another million people have left
the farms for the cities in a year,
announces Sears-Roebuck statistical
organization. This big mail-ordef
house does a large part Of its bust
ness among farmers, and is apt to
be nearer the truth than any govern
ment estimate.
While these farmers were heao-
ing for the cities, the population OF
the United States increased 1,400,-
600. A little arithmetic shows the
result is there are 100000 more
city residents to feed and a million
fewer farm producers to feed them
than a year ago.
It's natures way of solving The
greatest farm problem-oVer-pro
