That’s over $70 a year for every man, woman and child— $350 for a man and wife and three children. Uncle Sam gets most of the blame, though the war and its debt is his alibi. A far greater menace is reckless spend- ing by states, counties and cities. The public thinks it needs } more public improvements than it can afford. Mortgaging the future by bonds, to dodge immediate taxes, is just put- t ng off the fearful day of reckoning. and local taxes in FORD Henry Ford sails serenely even during a business slump. In May, when the steel industry was sagging to 50 per cent capacity and the auto industry in general was inspecting its life preservers, Ford sold 209,601 passenger cars and trucks.

SAVAGE ‘ “Dress up a savage in pants and start him chasing the doWar, and you have civilization,” says Henry Ford. It’s a clever remark, but it’s not true. {<The most highly developed individual, the people who qnake civilization. are not much interested in fashions, nor do ‘they chase dollars except to make a living and safeguard themselves for the future. The trouble is that not more than one person in 15 is really civilized. CIGARS AND PRICES Cigars — seven billion of them a year—are made in| America. An enormous figure, but cigar production has been Bteadily declining since the war made the cigaret “respect- able.” A widespread return of nickel cigars might reverse the tide. Cigar business is the victim of high prices and the fact that smokers now are more nervous and want to inhale. To inhale a cigar requires leather lungs.

Crime is 90 per cent environment and association, not more than 10 per cent natural inclination. 1804 Prof. Fisher says the buying power of the dollar is some- where around 69 cents, compared with its pre-war purchas- ing power. That’s true. And yet an American silver dollar worth $12,000 was found recently in Lancaster, O. It was one of the famous issue of the year 1804. Only seven others are known to be} in existence. Its value is in its scarcity. That’s about all there is to any value. COTTON World leadership in cotton is slipping away from our) country. The boll weevil’s chiefly to blame. This year Americans will grow 38,500,000 acres of cot- ton. Foreign countries have about 28,000,000 acres planted to cotton, an increase of 2,000,000 acres in one year. It is the most important economic shifting now taking place in the world.

DAWES AS THE FARMERS’ CANDIDATE Nothing could be more signifi-| cant of the nature of the coming campaign than the announcement that General Dawes will open his speaking tour with an address at Lincoln, Neb. Lincoln is the capital of Ne- braska, and Nebraska is in the very heart of the great nortiwest- ern farming territory. The state is represented in the upper house by Senators Norris and Howell—radi- cals both As matters stand, then, Nebraska may well be called a radical state. Yet it is Nebraska which General Dawes hosen as the scene of the opening of his campaign. He is marching into the enemy's ter- ritory. He is challenging LaFol- lette and LaFolletteism. And he will be challenging it in a place where he once lived, and among a people whom he has long known. For in 1887 Charles G. Dawes, at the age 2, moved from his Ohio home and began practising law in Lincoln, Neb. He practised there for seven years, before bus ress interests drew him to Evans- ton, where he hag since lived. In that period. from 1887 to 1894, he formed a host of acquaintances who to this day retain a fresh memory of the razor-keenness of his intellect, the fire of his spirit, and the warmn of his humanity. And in that period young Dawes, among those pioneer farme ame to know the needs, the desire the hardships of agriculture in the northwest. He lived in Nebraska in the terrible time of the nine- ties, when the farmer was certain ly as distressed as now, and when the cry of free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 filled the air; but @espite the economic heresy all around him, the young lawyer stood fast, knowing well that 16 to 1 was not the party which would lead the farmer out of the wilder- ness. Z The sophistries of the day found an eloquent prophet in young Dawes’ fellow -townsmen, William Jennings Bry: In 1896, when Bryan was nominated on a 16 to 1 platform, Dawes had been two years an Ilinoisan, Early in that year he volunteered in the fight to neminate McKinley. Young Dawes was a new and ef- fective force in Illinois politics. Largely as a result of his tireless efforts, McKinley wag nominated. During the ensuing campaign the year-old E stonian was a4 momber of the executive committee of the ‘Republican National Com- mittee. That campaign was “a clean-cut fight between the forces of sanity and the forces of hysteri- cal radicalism; and by tremendous efforts the for of sanity won. Nineteen twenty-four is another such year. Time has_ mellowed Bryan. It hag soured LaFollette. He ig the Bryan of 1924. The agri- cultural distress of today ‘parallels that of the nineties. And again on the side of sanity, fighting for the real advantage of the tarmer and against the hysteria of the moment, is Charles G. Dawes. The Republican delegates from the farming states recognized that at the national convention. spite the desires of the ra senators, Norris and Howell, braska nominated Dawes and & him her full 19 votes on each of the three ballots. ver once did Dawes’ old state er. On the final ballot, he got the votes of nearly all the western farming states except those which voted for favorite sons. He was supported by Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Kan- as, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebras- a vada and Wyoming. It wag the strength of the agri- cultural states which gave him his victory. These Dawes because they believed in his absolute sincerity, in his courage to state his beliefs to the farmer end to anyone else, in his funda- mental knowledge of business and his detailed knowledge of farming problems, and in the tremendous value of the Dawes reparation re- port to American farmers, who need export markets. For these reasons the agricul tural states favored Dawes as the were accompanied home by Miss Svelyn Swanson of Minneapolis and Miss Eva Swanstrom of St. Paul wad the there until after Miss Swanson during her wilh visit Roundup. stay here will be a guest at the home of Mr. and C.

Coolidge Likely To Be Kept Busy As Arbiter By Harry B. Hunt NEA Service Writer ‘Washington, June 26.—President Goolidge has had to sit hard’ on yival groups in the Republican camp in order to prevent what might have developed early into a disastrous split in his campaign management. That there has been no love lost between C. Bascom Slemp, _ secre- tary to the president, and William M. Butler, Coolidges selection as new chairman of the G. 0. P. nation- al Committee, has been open gossip for weeks. Developments at tne Cleveland convention, where Butler's attempts to dictate the vice presi- dential selection met with rebufi, widened rather than closed the breach. ’ Slemp, it has been hinted, had rather hoped to be chairman himself, but acquiesced silently when Butler was named. An experienced poli- tician, however, he found it hard to remain silent while contemplating what seemed to him. exceedingly amateurish moves in Butler’s style of game. ‘ From the other side of the table came the opinion that it no long- EVERETT TRUE Qoowpm NORNINGS er made any difference whether Slemp liked things or not; that he was’ brought into the administration family to line up the southern dele- gates for Coolidge and that now they had been delivered,’ his hand Was played out.
