By this procedure you simply nullify your action. You tie the hands of your pre nt by giving him unfriendly members of congr who will oppose iim in every move for good. They will seek to embarrass him at every step. As a result the ob- jects sought to be obtained by a person so vot ing are lost. . It must be remembered that party polit s the ctor of greatest influepee and unl SS a president has the support of igress politi- cally sympathetic with the stration, you find a direct breach or a spectacle similar to the last session in which radicals held the balance of power and blocked legislation and originated scandal. Tt were better that you refrained from vot- ing for Coolidge and Dawes unless you gave them members of congress and senators who would support them in their administration of the government. And it would be just as futile to vote for other presidential and vice pre: den- 4 tial candidates and then hamper them with con- gressmen and senators of a different politic Gt nue¢ ole the party. eRe Lee gh There is virtue in voting a straight ticket of sr any kind, and much more to be gained for your “sar! beliefs and policies, than by mixing the matter ou and defeating the very aims and objects you have = in mind. nt Who Deflated the Farmer? we There may be differences of opinion as to the i extent of the injury to agriculture resulting from Py the famous “deflation” act of the federal reserve rH board, but the record leaves no room for doubt I as to who was responsible. he The first intimation that crédits for agricul: hi tural purposes were to be restricted was given us by President Wilson, in a message to congress, el April 8, 1919. As an alternative to further wage increases, which were then being demanded by re the railroad labor unions on account ef the high 7 cost of living, President Wilson proposed to “lim- } it credits to facilitate the purchase of wheat,” a) and to control the wheat supply “in such a way or as not to raise but rather to lower the price of a flour.” e} Apparently acting upon this suggestion of the ar Democratic chief executive or at least in con- + formity therewith, the federal reserve board, in December, 1919, increased the rates on loans and discounts . That was the first step toward defla tion. January 16, 1920, the federal reserve board no- tified all member banks that loans must be re- duced. That was the second step. January 23, 1920, the loahs were again reduced —the third step. % - In May, 1920, the board took the final, sweep- ing action to make the deflation complete. Gen- r . eral liquidation was forced. All appeals and ar- 1 £ guments on behalf of the farmers were *unayail- 1 ™ ‘ing. 2 ie During all of this time, all the members of the : federal reserve board were Democrats, appoint- ; ed by President Wilson, is Such is the record. No Republican could pos- sibly have had anything to do with the deflation The Republican administration did not begin un- til March 4, 1921. In July, 1920, two short months after that fate- ful final action of the board, the prices of wheat wool and cotton started downward. Corn followed in August, cattle and hogs in October and Thanks- giving Day saw all important farm products on the toboggan. ql What a Thanksgiving Day for the Ameri farmer! an Thies Billion Dollars The size of the public debt, in large degree, de- termines the measure of taxes that must be lev- ied upon the citizen; as the debt grows, taxes must be increased, and if the debt be diminished, taxes are lowered. One of the chief aims of President Coolidge has been to reduce the burden of taxation. At the past session of congress mea surable relief was secured, but still further tax reductions are adyc ed by the executive and still further tax orm and new government economies will be demanded by him when con- ssembles, ocratic administration whieh retired f 1921, left*behind a staggering public debt. In addition to the ne sts of the war, this debt had been vastly increased by the attempt of the government under Democratic rule, to operate the railroads of the country; millions had been wasted in aireraft production that did not produce, as shown by the Hughes in- yestigation; millions had been expended in the purchase of supplies far in excess 0% the needs of the service, J SA CAmEMa BAnene Wane eremeawy: Seten wise ge beeweets » This was, roughly, the situation three and a half years ago. What was done about it For one thing, the public debt, amounting to more than $24,000,- 000,000 when the Republicans took hold, had been cut, on June 30, last, by more than three thous- and million dollars. The cost of operating the departments of the federal government has been cut more than two thousand million,dollars a year. The bureau of the budget has been estab- lished, and congressional appropriatione <pr this fiscal year are only a little more than half of what they were for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1920. ¥, + Despite the huge amount which must be paid yearly as interest on the public debt, Republi- 1 economy has made it possble to cut taxes by a quarter and slash the high surtaxes which were driving capital out of productive business into tax-exempt securities, leaving the main burden of taxation on smaller incomes. These reasons for continuing a Republican ad- ministration, backed up by a sympathetic Re- publican senate and house, are difficult to com- bat successfully. Maintains American Standards The Johnson immigration act has reduced the flood of incoming aliens to a thin small stream. The immigration bureau of the department of labor recently published figures showing that from July 1 to August &l, the first two months during which the law was operative, only 7,039 aliens had obtained visas authorizing them to come to the United States. The total number that can be admitted in any one year is 167,750, which is less than half as many as were permitted un der the old law. The number of immigrants coming into this country under the new law will be effectually balanced by the number of persons of foreign birth who will return to their native lands, thus leaving the United States without any serious im- migration problem. This happy solution of a question that has troubled the American people for three decades is in line with the policy of the Republican party to give our working people the greatest possible protection at all times. The protective tariff has maintained economic conditions that haye made possible the highest wages that have ever been paid in the world’s history. The immigration law has closed the gates upon the host of imm nts who would have undermined the high standard of living that American labor enjoys. The immigration law was not passed without tremendous opposition from powerful interests who wished to have a large and constant supply of cheap labor available at all times. In secur- ing its passage the Republican party has main- tained consistently its unbroken record of pro- tection for American interests, human as well as material. ‘ Che Casver Daily Tribune py The Sniffle Game If you would put over something that is pernicious or reprehensible in this country all that you are call- ed on to do is to tell the people that it is based on kindness—humanitar- jan principles—love—charity or ten- derness. The friends of Soviet Russia who induced our congress to submit the so-called “child labor” constitutional amendment to the various state legislatures—as vicious a commun- istic plan as ever the diseased mind of a designing fanatic concetved— sobbed before the politicians and wailed that they wanted “to save the little children of the country from the devouring monster of in- dustrialism,” and the simpletons wiped their eyes and noses and joinea hands with the crew that is as much concerned for the rea! wel- fare of a child as is a devitfish for the Einstein theory—and not a whit more. The principal advocates of the pernicious measure were, and are, the rankest of Socialists. They got what they wanted because they wept crocodile tears and pulled out the sympathy stop. vAnd the deep grief of the con- gressmen who listened to that slush, flooded thelr eyeg with so many tears that they never saw the idocy of calling a “no-work law for any person under 18” a “child labor” measure! The women of New York who induced the state legislature to pass a law taking from women street-car conductors the jobs they wanted to keep played the sympathy racket. “These” poor women must be protected from the awful temptations of thelr work and long and Jate hours of toil,” they said, and then went home and re- fused the cook a night off. But they had buffaloed the solons at Albany, The organized railroad brother- hoods who foisted that iniquitous and uneconomic thing upon the railroads—the “full crew law"— persuaded legislatures to enact it by saying that it was a humanitar- fan measure, The antivivisectionists have sev- eral times come very near getting their harmful theories made into law by sobbing about “the poor dumb animals carved and tortured to please the blood lust of crazy doctors who have no hearts,” Even if it were true—which {t isn%t— vivisection, as practised, !s helping mankind to conquer disease. The advocates of this or that pa- ternalistic measure find that when they appeal to the tender emotions of people they make converts that they could never get by making an His Absurd Position LaFollette is trying to disarm criticism of his attack on the constitution, his proposal that a majority of congress may over-rule a majority of the supreme court, by saying he is only for x constitutional amendment so providing. But La¥ollette insists that when the supreme court declares a law of congress unconstitution the court usurps the power of ¢ pose LaFollette, holding that view, we t- ed president and ‘the supreme court declared .a law of congréss unconstitutional. Lalollette, believing its declaration a usurpation of power, could not in conscience uphold the court. The court has no power to enforce its mandates. That rests with the president, the commander in chief of the military forces. Thus it would become the sworn duty of LaFollette to repudiate the de- ion of the court, because that would be up- holding the constitution, according to his con- ception of the constitution, which, in his inaug- uration oath, he had sworn to uphold. ppose congress passed over the president’s veto, Y abolishing public schools and providing alt court pronounced the law unconstitutional. La awa would be in duty bound to uphold the aw. Farm Co-Operatives Helpful Last year 10,160 co-operative associations, rep- resenting a membership of 2,025,000, conducted a business of $2,200,000,000. While the great grain, dairy, livestock and truck farming areas of the central states, were naturally most prominently represented in this activity every other geograph- ical division share@ in the economic benefits of this form of distribution, among the principal commodities so marketed being cotton tobacco wool, poultry, fruit and nuts. Although the co-operative marketing had long been a part of the agricultural economics of many nations and of many American states, there was no federal law recognizing their standing until February 18, 1922. Before that time the state co-operatives had no right to engage in in- terstate or foreign commerce. Some authorities held that such activity would constitute a yio- lation of the anti-trust laws. A Republican congress passed the co-operative marketing act giving the farm producer the pow- ers and privilegs which are enjoyed by business corporations. The associations must operate for the mutual benefit of all stockholders and are limited to a dividend of 8 percent. The secretary of agriculture is given sufficient authority to Prevent the associations from mopopolizing or restraining trade to the extent of increasing/the price of any agricultural product unduly. © ¢ ‘e marketing is one of the ways to eliminate much of the expense which is added to the price of a commodity between the time it leaves the farm and the time it reaches-the con sumer’s table, Those Canadian Railways In pointing to the Canadian railroads as shin amples of the benefits of government. ow nd operation, the “Progressive” pokes: men have made the common mistake of r : 1 theoretical crusaders, They overlookec facts in the case. Instead of attaining an efficiency of operation enabling them to reduce rates to prewar levels, pay American wage scales and still show a profit the government-operated railroads of Canada, fire proving to be veritable white elephants. Their deficit in 1923 was more than $51,000,000. They do not pay wages equal to the American scales, Such rate reductions as have been made are charged up to the taxpayers and paid by them. It is estimated that the average cost to e Can: nily, for the “privilege” of having government Iroads and political freight rate is from $30 to $40 per 5 Chairman Butler, of the Republican national committee, conservative when he stated re- cently that “if American railroads were nation- alized and the same reductions were imposed on ]eail for about $600,000,000 from the taxpayers.” them as in Canada we should, in the same rati schools must be taught by Catholics, and the | 1ppenl to reason. At this time La Follette fs pictur ing “a despairing people appealing for help that they’ may be rescued from the ecanomic morass in which they are slowly perishing.” ‘There is no economic morass nor are there any despairing people in it turning eyes to anybody, All our folks are too busy with their fliv- vers, radios and moyie-going plans to waste time that way.

Mind The framers of the Constitution afd net seek to circumvent the popu- lar will, They did seek, however— and fortunate it is for the repub- Uc that they succeeded—to prevent sudden gusts of popular passion from working the overthrow or im- pairment of its provisions. The makers c® the Constitution believed in the supremacy of the Popular will, but wisely safeguard- ed the instrument so that its clauses could only be changed or corrected upon the maturest reflection and not in the white heat of passion. They built with consummate care and skill a compact and complete system of representative govern. ment, with two Houses of Congress, whose members should be elected for different terms and in different manner—one a step farther remov- ed from popular clamor than the other, but both resting on the popu- lar will. They also provided for an execu- tive with large powers and placed the veto in his hands. They also established a federal ju- diciary as the last link, and in many respects the strongest, in the inter- locking chain. In so doing they made provisions for the — ultimate solution of the more perplexing governmental problems.
