The farmer vote is by all odds the largest in the country, and the farmers are engaged in the most useful industry. But it would not be a good thing for the country’ if the farmers or any distinct class of citizens should control the re- sult of the elections, as the pol- iticians in organized labor are trying to do. . Neither the farmers, nor the railroaders, nor the minors, nor the factory workers, nor the merchants, nor the bankers, nor the profesional men, nor the pol- iticians, nor any class should be given the exclusive control of the government, national nor state, because this is a govern- ment for all the people and not for any particular class of peo- ple. Every class has its rights and those rights are entitled to the idvantages and protection of the laws of théland. If any one set should absolutely control and dominate all iegislation their ombition would be sure to lead them to unreasonable and unfair excesses to the detriment of all the others. Hence, the country will get alone better by being well bal- yneed with all classes and inter- ‘sts properly represented. SS ANOTHER INCOME TAX STINGER. The supreme court of the United States has decided that income from stocks is exempt from income taxation. The fortunes of, our rich men are principally invested in stocks. They carry no great amount of actual cash in banks. These rich men with their billions of dollars worth of stocks will pay no income tax on the enormous revenues frém these stocks. They can, if they choose, invest all of their wealth in stocks thereby deriving their entire in- comes from them, and escape at all. It costs in the neighborhood of one billion dollars a year to run the government, and much of that amount must be raised by taxation. If the rich man is not to pay his just proportion of the income tax, WHO MUST PAY IT FOR HIM? We have no editorial comment to make on the ruling of the su- preme court. That tribunal is presumed to be the fountain head of justice, and the law is undoubtedly as they have inter- preted it. But the fact that the rich man is to pay no income tax on his enormous holdings of stocks causes one to wonder if the poor man is to be required to “dig deeper and cough hard- er.” He has coughed much as it s.—Nezperce Herald. Now that the war is over what is the matter with this for a solution of our difficulties? Robert Louis Stevenson wrote it. “To be honest, to be kind; To earn a little, to spend a little less; To make upon the whole, a family happier for his presence ; To renounce when that shall be necessary and not be embitter- ed; To keep a few friends, | these without capitulation ; Above all, on the same grim but _| condition, to keep friends with himself — Here is a task for all that a man has of fortitude and deli- cacy.” The man who finds fault with his neighbors’ religion should! spend a little time repairing his own.
