The senttments of Senator Borah will be ap- proved by the people, without forgetting the obligations to the soldiers. Agreeing With Henry Ford Some one has remarked that Henry Ford can| not carry all his admirers into the ranks of the} Coolidge supporters. This is undoubtedly true, but the same line of reasoning which carried Mr. Ford into the Coolidge ranks will carry his ad- mirers also. Probably there are not over a thousand voters in the United States who would vote for Cool- idge just because Mr. Ford is going to vote for Coolidge. But there are hundreds of thousands who will vote for Coolidge because they have reached exactly the same conclusion that Mr. Ford reached—that Coolidge is trying to do what is right and that the comtry will be safe under his leadership. While we have had misfortune in some places, there was never a time in our history when a larger proportion of our people were prosperous and happy. Why change? That is the question Mr. Ford asked and it is the question hundreds of thousands of others | are asking. Others were asking it before Mr. Ford did, but, because of his fame as an auto- mobile manufacturer, his statement of the ques- tion received wide publicity. The people of the country will not vote for a change unless some one shows them a good rea-/| son for a change. No one has undertaken to do that yet. No one undertakes to show in what respect the country would be better off under ‘the leadership of any one else. Get Things Straight! a w Tv Pi ek are escape.

It wor Since the war, England has harassed with eter’ ane Dey at <sigla Witartake i&: The rate of increase in taxes in the nation in the past eight to ten years represents the great- est tragedy of American life. In eastern indus- trial centers the situation is serious enough, but in the agricultural regions of the west, the peo- ple are losing faith in the government because of unbearable taxes and the mad saturnalia of spending in which the government continues to indulge.

But nothing has discouraged the supporters more than this grab- bing for public funds by the different depart- ments of the government. Who can deny a sol- dier boy and ask him to share with his country the question of the matter of depression or pros- perity if the proposed savings are to be eaten up by wasteful burdens? - The great obstacle to tax reduction, it appears is the proposal for a bonus for ex-service men. If we consider the bonus purely in the light of material or financial aid. and if our purpose is to assist the soldier in that way, I can think of no greater benefit for these men than that which would be derived from a betterment of the eco- nomic conditions throughout the country. It is five years since the war. These young men are back in civil life. They cannot succeed when business, industry and agriculture are embarras- sed or discouraged. The pittance granted them individua}ly would mean nothing m the sum to- _tal of their well-being but anything and every- thing which contributes to the rehabilitation and revival of economic and business conditions throughout the country will be a permanent prosperity to the soldier far beyond anything which mere individual aid would mean. I do not believe it is possible to divorce the soldier's welfare at this time from the welfare of the country; in other words from the welfare of the farmer and the business men genemlly. The cry raised by thousands of ex-soldier m “For the disabled everything, for the able bod- ied nothing,” is about as fine a thing as men could do. It points in the right direction. The world pleads for leadership. America pleads for leadership, brave, unselfish, moral and intellectual leadership.
