Demands for full cash payment of the
soldiers bonus are said to be growing
stronger. Thus the fiscal and political
troubles of Congress and President aeeumu-
late. Last year more than $1,000. 000.0 600
was paid to the World War veterans in So
called loans on their adjusted compen-
sation" certificates. bringing the cash pay
ments up to so per cent of the certificates
ultimate value. The other so per cent
would not be payable normally until their
legal maturity in 1915. To pay them in
full now. it is estimated, would cost about
,000.000.0o0.
Those of the veterans who understand
financial and business matters will do well
to think very seriously about whether the
government. already in the red about ST.
000,000.000 for the last couple of years.
and running in deeper every minute at rate
unprecedented in peace time, could stand
another such, drain on ist empty treasury.
The government, no doubt, could borrow
the money and pay the bonus. But what
would be the effect on government credit
and on all forms of private credit that are
based on government credit. and on general
business whose life blood is credit? As for
such payments tending to restore business
prosperity, few thinking people believe in
such miracles any longer. 1t did not work

aside the levity for moment there is sound

that is the case heavy sales of new cars this

Too Much Levitt

Time was when the charges of Professor
Albert Levitt of Redding would warrant the
front page of Connecticut newspapers and
even some of the metropolitan dailes How
ever. these are not favorable times for such
as continually criticize and offer no help in
extracting our government from its preear-
ious financial position. We say this with
no raneor toward the professor, even though
he has included Governor Wilbur l.. Cross
in his latest attack upon Rorabackism. We
learn that the champion of the democratic
party has allowed himself to be daubed with
the paint of the republican organization or
words to the same effect.
Certainly Professor Levitt cannot hold
the governor accountable for the sins of the
Legislature. He did his best with this un-
ruly body, but even his best was as nothing
when compared to the might of our rural
law makers who know but one creed and that
look after thine ownself first. We don't
think that the Redding independent is CIV
ing Governor Gross a square deal with re-
gard to the public utilities commission. We
coulde see nothing but plain intention to
raise this body above the political standard
which it seems to have won. His appoint
ment of Professor Richard Joyce Smith was
more than the gesture that Professor
Levitt termed it.
However, we have gone over this unfor-
runate affair SO many times that we don't
think our readers care to hear about it any
longer. Suffice it to say the Legislature
was not sympathetic with his intentions
Again Mr. Levitt says, Every major nom
nation he made was of Rorabaek ma
chine republican. He was permitted to
name just one appointee for a major posi-
tion. He named judge of the superior
court. - What about Labor Commits

Bulling Grain

The International Harvester Company
makes an interesting and appealing proposal
to farmers. 1t amounts to the company
gambling with the farmer on the price of
crops, and taking the bull side of the
market. The company offers any pur-
chaser of its tractors, harvesting and thresh
ing machines the privilege of paying up
next fall on the basis of 20 cents bushel
for wheat and so cents bushel for corn at
Chicago and IL cents pound for cotton
in New Orleans.
The farmer may sign notes, and 40 per
cent of his debt may be paid on this basis
not directly with the wheat. corn or cotton,
but in the money it is worth at the time.
Thus farmer who has note for $40 due
next December would owe the company the
equivalent of 500 bushels of wheat at 20
cents. and if wheat were selling at so cents
he would only have to pay $3.50. The
generosity, or faith. represented in this offer
may be gagged by the fact that wheat has
been selling lately around 81 cents corn
around "a cents and cotton correspondingly
low.
1t may be selling dodge, but the har
.vester people say they really expect prices to
rise. Only a slight improvement, they
say. would have an important effect in
correcting the vicious circle in WHICH all
business has been forced and in the i'm
provement everybody would benefit. So
they are doing what they can. Suppose the
automobile. radio and refrigerator people.
and Others, worked out something like this.
City sales might be based correspondingly on
the future price of stocks. Or is that too
much of a gamble?

THE VANISHING CRACKER
BARREL
(New YORK Herald : Tribune)

New York Herald ribune)
To American generations of the
near future references to the
cracker-barrel school of politics
will be as meaningless as to sug-
gest peculiarly fixed and static
qualities to the present generation
by the phrase Sitting like a
Stoughton bottle" For just as the
squat, square bottle of Stoughton
bitters, with its suggestion of utter
immobility, has long since vanished
from our household vocabulary, SO
are crackers in bulk fast disap-
pearing from the rural scene. A
QUESTIONABLE sent out among New
England farmers by 'The New
England Homestead" has disclosed
that fewer than rs per cent still
purchase their crackers and coffee
directly from the historic barrel at
the country store and that most OF
them now secure these commod-
tiles neatly packaged in cardboard
and cellophane.
! Gone, too, presumably. are most
of the other distinguished charac-
teristics of the Old-fashioned
country grocery: the pile of dried
herring in the corner, the cannon
ball stove once encircled by S1iaS
and Ephraim and Joshua on Sat-
urday afternoon, the small cask OF
ready-to-fry, fishballs behind the
counter, and gone with them are
SOME of the saltiest aspects OF
American civilization. Gone, too,
far the most part, is the cracker
barrel school of statesmen, such
brave exceptions as Governor Cross
of Connecticut being the sole sur
vivors of brave New England
legend.
To those to whom the institutions
of our Yankee forefathers-town
meetings, hard cider, corn husk-
ings-were the cherished souvenirs
Of a more rural and nidividualist1c
era these will be sad tidings. Like
the Gentle CRATER in the o. Henry
story, who hoped that just once
more some brother sharper would
try to sci him a gold brick or a
share in the municipal building,
they may hope once more to see
Uncle ST from the country In. all
his glory. complete with chin
whiskers, carpetbag and store suit.
Like the cracker barrel, he was
an integral part Of American his
