Campaign funds are legitimate, necessary,
patriotic and in agreement with good citi-
zen3hip All party members should contrib
ute to the campaign funds, and funds should
be spent worthily and audited properly The
parties must protect themselves from those
who would discredt them by implying that
the campaign is all "slush." Let us be fair
to campaign funds. They have their place IN
our political system.

No administration can legislate every man
into prosperity-it cannot provide every fam
lily with an automobile nor guarantee mans
oil and real estate speculations to be success
full; it cannot provide him with brains or am

able conditions the opportunity, and then if
he cannot succeed it is his own fault.

In some counties of Georgia farmers are
organizing pure seed associations. That's a
sure way to increase the yield OF all kinds
OF crops Through neglect most OF the seeds

good seed In this connection it is well to

Who Would Pay?

Whenever anybody wants to put something
over in politics today he tells the farmer he
needs change Twenty years ago the sup
posedly popular method to get votes was to
"bust" a trust Now that they have all the
trusts busted a lot of agitators would like
to bust the farmer, provided they could
do it before he found it out. The fallacy OF
the scheme is exposed by the Manufacturer
and industrial News as follows;
The third party is making public own
ership of railroads its bait to catch the
farmer on the theory that the farmer
would thereby receive lower freight rates
The bulk of more than $300,OOOO00 an
nualy distributed by railroads IN taxes
goes to states and counties. II the gov
eminent owned the railroads they would
paw no taxes any more than local post
offices do.
To illustrate this would mean a loss of
$S, 425. 982 tax revenue i'll Minnesota; ST.,
321 .o76 in Wisconsin; $6,849703 in Iowa;
S6739, $40 in Kansas; $5,36596O III Ne
braska; $4679,693 in Montana, and 81
072. 2S2 in North Dakota. Other states
would be in proportion.
Twenty-Five months of government
operation of our railroads during war
time cost the taxpayers a little less than
S2000.000000 in addition to the highest
freight and passenger rates they ever
paid.
Does the third party, or any other, dare
guarantee the farmers lower freight rates and
employees higher wages and the public less
taxes under government operation OF rail
roads? Such claim is pluperfectly absurd
