For the government to Fun the railroads, the government would have to buy them from the millions of Americans who are now stockhols This would add billions -and billions of doll to the public debt, which «would have to be paid, principal and interest, “by the taxpayers. There is another angle which is not dwelt up- on by the Socialist-Third party speakers. That is the fact that, owned by the government, the Lrailroads would not pay state taxes as they now alo, ‘ Take some of the important farming states, and let us examine what this would mean to the -furmer. Loss of state taxes p to Towa, for in- +stance, it is figured would mean an increase of ~9$32 in taxes annually for each farm in the state. In Kansas, it would mean an additional annual assessment of $40 against each farm in the state. “In Minnesot h farm an addi- ‘tional $47 in taxes each year. Railroads paid the state of Minnesota last ra to Iowa got, in taxes Wisconsin received Indiana received no less than $13,094.- 627. Kansas benefited to the extent of $6,739,346. In these five agricultural states the railroads paid state taxes last year amounting to $42,431,- 4634.—money which would have to be made up by the farmers, if, through government ownership, the railroads were exempt from paying state from the railroads 4 aareess 21,976, ; taxes. Aud the Socialist-Third party is seeking the . votes of the farmers of these states upon the promise to increase their taxes by more than 000,000. American Farm Protected Democrats argue that it is an economic crime to protect the American beet-sugar industry with a tariff when sugar might be bought from Cuba much cheaper than it can be produced at home. The argument ried to its natural con- clusion means that the beet-sugar industry in the United States, of great importance to most of tho western states, should be allowed to die. If this is true of the beetgrowing industry rultural crop. entine beef can be grown and exported t of growing it in the United it is just as true of every other as In the A tion, which the Democrats intend, would be dis- aster to the American cattle grower. In Canada nnd in the Argentme wheat can be grown for a fraction of- what it costs the American wheat grower to produce a crop. Drop the tariff bays, sund what would happen to the American whvat furmer. New Zealand and Australia can produce and export wool and mutton for less than they can be produced by the Ameriran farmer. Br down the protective tariff and what happens to our sheep man The same thing is true of butter, of citrus fruits, of many other agricultural products. Yor the protection of the American farmer, “those thin that he bu are admitted to the country free of duty, while those things he ra and sells are not forced into competition with cheap farm products from other lunds because *the Republican tariff prevents it.

T ‘ts, obtainable from govern- went records, tell quite anotker story. As soon as the Democratic administration increase appropriations and taxes. Each succeed- ing year larger appropriations were made for the routine expenditures of the government. In the spring of 1916 a Democratic congress voted more money than had éver before been appropri- ated for the annual expenses of the government and on top of this, introduced a special revenuc bill calling for $200,000,000 additional taxes. Traditional Democratic waste marked war ex- penditures. The disastrous attempt to operate the railroads cost the taxpayers hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars. Inheriting this distressing tangle, in a little more than three years a Republican administra- tion has cut the public debt more than $3,000,000,- 000, has cut annual expenditures for the federal government more than #$2,000,000,000; has cut federal income taxes a quarter, Compare the records. Which way does common sense dictate that your vote be cast in Novem- ber? Helpful Credit Act The so-called intermediate credit act, enacted in the summer of 1923, provides the greatest banking security the farmer has yet had. Twelve intermediate credit banks, one in each federal reserve district, and with a combined loaning capacity of $660,000,000, provide credits for farm- ers running longer than the ordinary commer- cial paper, and yet do not violate any principles of sound banking, Under this system, the farmer may borrow money for the purchase of seed, fertilizer, of farm equipment or money to carry on dairy or beef cattle operations. Under this wise legislation of a Republican administration he is relieved of the fear that he may have to dump his grain on the market without regard to prices and ut rifice to himself. The cattle grower is relieved of the fear that he may have to rush underfed cattle to market to satisfy maturing notes. In alldition to this, the farmer is protected a high interest rates, as a maximum is fixed by Under this wise law, agricultural credit ciations may be formed by farmers for borrow- ing and discounting notes. The an borrow through co-operative marketing associations and this is very important—they can borrow upon presentation of federal warehouse receipts for farm commodities stored there. This law the maximum farm mortgage loan from federal land banks from. $10,000 to $25,000. This is but one of the many farm measures en- acted into law by the Republicans since they as- sumed power three and a half years ago, The no pretense that the problem is solved yet. But under it, the condition of the farmer this year is better than it has been for many a year under peace conditions, for the farmer as for everyone else, performance in the past is a better guaran- tee for the future than promises that cannot be kept and, if they could be kept, would undo the careful, good work of years and bring distress and disaster, The Farmer and His Market One of the candidates 1 to Coolidge and Dawes asserts that if the party is successful in the general election the present Republican tariff law will be repealed. No def- inite promise is made as to what will be enacted in its pl This attitude is taken by the candi- dates of both political, parties opposing the Re- publicans. The candidate mentioned above makes a statement very commonly made by critics of the Republican tariff. He says that: “You farm- ers buy everything on a highly protected market and sell everything on a free trade market.” Now notice the exact language, He says that the farmers buy everything on a protected mar- kee and sell everything on a free trade mar- ket. This is obviously false for one class of farm- erg buys the commodities that other classes of farmers sell. The wool grower of the mountain states sells wool but buys lemons produced by the farmer of Florida. One class of farmers buys the fruit, the nu the grain, the butter, the eggs, produced and sold by other ¢ es of farmers. It is manifestly impossible, therefore, that every- thing the farmer buys is bought in a highly pro- tected market and everything he sells is sold iu a free trade market. But entirely aside from this distinction it can be easily demonstrated that the statement is not true. Any man who will get a copy of the tariff act of 1922 can find by turning to the chemical schedule that every form of fertilizer is admitted ree. Not only is the composite fertilizer admitt- ed free but each of its component elements. Every kind of agricultural implement and tool is admitted free. This is true also of binding twine and the raw material of whieh binding twine is made. It is true of barbed «wire. It’ is true of harness id saddlery and boots and shoes and the leather of which they. are made. The coffee and the tea on the farmer’s table are admitted free. The statement regarding purchases in a high- ly protected market is no more false than the statement regarding the farmers selling every thing in a free trade. market. The dairymen have been protesting against a reduction of the duty on butter and other dairy products. “The produc- ers of vegetable oils haye protested against the petition of soap makers that vegetable oil tariffs j be reduced; peanut. growers have protested nst a reduction of the duty on peanuts. More than a dozen farm organizations joined in a writ- ten statement asserting that the present Repub- lican tariff law was more favorable to the farm- ers than any other that had been enacted. With all of this evidence that the farmer is given real protection there can not possibly be troth in tne atement that the farmer sells everything in a free trade market. It is one of thé first principles governing the credibility of a witness that a witness found false in one respect is to be distrusted in every other respect. Candidates in opposition to the Re- publican party haye repeatedly made this state- ment concerning the farmers buying everything in a highly protected market and selling every thing on a free trade market. Haying , proven themselves false in that respect they are un. worthy of credence in any other respect. unning in opposition Now comes the news that there are more auto- mibles than telephones in the United States. yet our Demo-rad friends would have us that this nation is in a terrible condition depression and want. A Grave Indictment In_ short, Mr. Dawes, explicity accuses Sena- tor LaFollette and his extreme adherents of seeking to supersede orderly popwar government with mob rule and of using their knowledge of mob psychology in the effort to obtain power and the opportunity to execute their designs. No came into power in 1913, when the whole world ee) — lines American can be indifferent t Che Casver Sundav Cribune Unique Poll The most unique poll that has evcr been taken in a presidential campaign has just been completed by private interests at Washington. It was clearly aside from politics. This poll differs from that of the Literary Digest and polls taken by various papers throughout the coun- try in that it does not total the number of votes cast for the dif- ferent candidates but it.does give the reasons for voting for Calvin Coolidge. Three months ago five thousan letters were sent to voters residing in Washington, Oregon, California, Montana, Idaho, Dakota, South Dakota, Nevada, Minnesota, Kansas, Michigan, New fexico, Arizona, Oklahoma, Mis- souri, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Ten- nessee, Kentucky, Maryland, Dela- ware, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, ew Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. These com- munications were sent to men and women in different walks of life; wage earners in many lines of en- our taxes refunded to us—Because with Coolidge’ in the White House we will have work and good wagi —Besgause he is on the level—Be- cause he never considered his own political future when it came to de- eiding public questions—he decided them on the basis of right’ and justice.” The foregoing ,were taken from the hundreds ived as rep- resenting, a true cross-section of the mental attitude of the Coolidge sup- porters in the thirty-two states cov- ered. ‘Lack of space prevents the publishing of many more/of the rea- sons given. One contributor to the poll, a lady living in California, said in her letter: “You can never print anywhere near all the reasons why the people are for Mr. Coolidge. The reasons are too numerous, but you can say for me that the people want him because he is the man to stop this abominable scheme of the enemies of our country trying to break down our government, Coolidge is the right man, in the right place, at the right time deaver, farmers, ministers, manu- facturers, railroad men, pottery .. men, infact hearly ‘all’ ines orf Breaking Record human activities. These voters ——ae Were asked to state if they were going to vote for Coolidge and if so, why. While it is not possible to print all the reasons set down by the writers of these letters, a num- ber are given. Among the reasons are the followin, “I am for Coolidge because he is honest—Coolidge has always giver labor a square deal—He has always ept faith with the people—He be lieves in telling the people the trutt not try to fool them—H¢e in clean, honest and sane tion—He is a highly respecte: member of his church—He does not believe in favoring any class of peo- vle—His concern is not for the na- tion by sections, he is for the wholc Because of his ideal home use he is fcr a square deal for everybody—Because he has saic in politics nothing is worth having unless you can have it in the right His early training fitted hin the viewpoint of the man or sman who works for a lving—Be cause what he has to sayvis to the “Without any strain on the trans- portation machine the railways prob- ably, at the present timé, are load- ing and moving more freight cars each week than ‘over before in his: tory,” says the Railway Age. “The number of cars loaded in the week ended September 20 was 1,072,553. This was 15, more than in the ‘orresponding week of 1923 and only cwo per cent less than the record ‘gure of 1,097,274 which was -eached in the last week of Septem: yer, 1123.

Total load- ngs increased almost 151,000 cars a yveek between the fourth week in fuly and the third week in Septem: yer. There is no reason to doubt there has been a further increase since then. “In spite of the big increase in oadings the railways on September 14 hada surplus of more than {67,000 cars. ‘This was a decline, jowever, from more than. 322,000 surplus cars at the end of July. rhey can still handle a substantially apger business without car short: \ge if weather conditions stay good. point and is said so that evreyone can understand it—Because he iderate of and helpful to othe: ause he detests pretense, sham hing that is in the s! y unfair or dishonest—} “qe, however, traffic demands : his thoughts and works are} sould continue to increase and ef a constructive nature—Because| ..yvere weather should come it is by he believes in the sanctity of the home—Because he believes that everyone should vote—Because he believes in the upholding of the law —Because he is a square shooter {an honest person)—Because he won't He to get votes—Because he ses to church—Because he studies problems and when he arrives at a dovision, he lets you know what he really means, he does not beat around the bush—Because he tried to really help the farmers and did not give us a mess of hot air—Be: cause ho has courage—Because he is for you if you aré right and against you if you are wrong—Be- cause he doesn’t start his mouth going and then forget to turn it off—Because when he talks he says what he has to say straight from the shoulder and you know exactly what he means—Because he believes in the clean, decent things of life— Because he has been before the peo- ple for years and is 100 per cent honest—Because he doesn’t forget his friends—Because he works at no means inconceivable that there would be a ‘car shortage’ in the te fall or early winter.
