Register complaints before 8 They Are Simply Murderers The city authorities are to be commended upon some very excellent work in recent days in mat- ters relating to bootleggers and the like. What we would like to see, of course, is a complete roundup of all of these law evaders, more par- ticularly the principals in the manufacture and distribution of illicit liquor. The kings, queens, princes and princesses of the profession, who walk the streets in purple and fine linen in im- munity and with impunity. Get the nobility, and the proletariat will give little or no future trouble. It has reached a point with the two estates as | to which is the greater liar and swindler of | victims.

The other assures you of the excellence of | the moon he is delivering and hands you the vilest quality of gasoline hooch that can be made from poison under conditions of filth that would | shame a cesspool. Now the aristocratic bootlegger and his part: | ner in crime, the hoogh peddler, are all too at a cost of $2,000,000.

It contributed to a wid stim- ce 3 ; b ulation of business, an increase of ‘the purchas- Your re aR cena ing power of the public, and a greater consump- tion of commodities. In other words, it was one; of the chief factors in the encouraging Testora-' tion of the country’s prosperity, in which the farmer has shared substantially. not yet reached the level he and all of us wish ing to his recovery and will continue to contrib- ute to it, if not checked. “The farmer's future welfare is involved in the maintenance and construction program of the railroads. There is no one more dependent for his continued prosperity upon an efficient and sufficient systeth of land transportation than the midwestern and western farmer. That ought to be obvious, yet in the political campaigns di- rected against the railroads we find little if any reference to the necessity of providing for er upkeep and expansion of transportation. You would think that these were assured or would take care of themselves and that the only ques- tion is to lower rates by the reduction of unfair and exorbitant earnings. As to the charges of exorbitant earnings and inflated values we shall have something to say at another time. In this editorial we ask the farmers and their real rep- resentatives to consider that the railroads have spend on extensions and improvements and that by_ stimulating the business of the country and eventually by providing the increased facilities of transportation which are necessary to keep pace with the growth of thé dountry. For if transportation becomes inadequate the farmer cannot prosper. On the contrary his prosperity will steadily decline with the decline in the effi- ciency of the railroa open letter on the addressed Smoot, chairman of the | i fi F servative.

The public is getting mighty tired of their prestnce and their vile work. Blood Will Tell It has been so always. Whether in the animal er in the human family. When the test came the individual vindicated the blood of the ancestors. Take the race horse, carefully bred by. sires and dams possessing the qualities of speed en, durance, form mettle, action and style. Put him to the test and the best that was in him was brought out. He would win the race or was will- ing to die in the attempt. Then the human. The great percentage of soldier heroes of the world had the urge of family blood. Cowardice, fear or itorous action were not prea in their make up. The athlete, if he be of good: blood an as surely wins his contest. ’ In. all of the affairs of life the man or woman of blood and breeding takes the lead, accom- plishes the results. There is that intangible some thing that holds them.to the straight course and compels :them to give of their best. Put them to the supreme test and as a general thing they hold to honor, truth, morality, courage and all) the higher qualities regardless of conséquence. The latest demonstration is in the action of the sons of Theodore Roosevelt. When the test came to them, they did as the Colonel would have done, they did what their father taught them to do, and what his father had taugh him to do. Come clean and prserve honor. The Roosevelt boys were caught in association with shrewd scrubs. They themselves remained unsullied. The honor of men over them was in question. In per- forming their duties they remained silent out of loyalty, until their-own good name came in jeo- pardy when they marched forward and laid the facts bare insofar as they knew, and in so do- ing established their innocence of blame. At the same, time they cut loose from all association with those under suspicion of wrong doing. Whatever may be the outcome of the prpsent scandal involving the interior department of the government, high government officials and rominent captains of industry, the name of Roosevelt will not be tarnished. The blood of a long line of honorable ancestors has proved their security. They did not go wrong. They coutd not go wrong. ans And so it will continue. Right mating, right liv- ing, right teaching generation after generation, forms the staunchest asset in the human family and the most dependable bulwark of the commu- nity.

But they health and growth of the nation and especially that of agriculture. “Rate reductions which can be niade without such extensions and improvements as the growth of the country calls for, should be made and, we think, will be made. We think the reductions which western railroads are asking permission to make to meet water competition uf the Pan- ama canal coast to coast traffic are clearly de- sirable for the farmer and midwestern business generally. But if drastic cuts are threatened against the railroads under the influence of mere discontent and without proper .considera- tion of the vital interest of the farmer and the business of the whole country in the ability of the railroads to pay fair dividends and therefore to obtain means for maintaining and bettering their service, the farmer is going to suffer as much ag any other class, if not more. Have You a Wiser Way? The total amount. of tax-exempt securities in| the United States is $14,670,000,000, of which) $12,309,000,000 is in the hands of the public.” Secretary Mellon proposes a reduction of the surtax on large incomes as a means of inducing persons who invest in these’ securities to put} their money into expansion of productive enter- | prise. Their incomes, which now pay no taxes,| would then become taxable. If any of the many people who demand high taxation of the rich and for that reason oppose reduction of the sur- tax know a better way to get taxes from the rich let them come forward and announce it. Of course we can stop tssue of tax-exempt se-| curities by constitutional amendment, but that would take several years, during which the flow would continue, and it would not affect the more | than twelve billions already issued. This is a business proposition for the people to work out by arithmetic. The oratory of poli- ticians would not help them. His Platform I mean to stand upon the constitution.
