I have studied socialism, capitalism, unionism, co-operative societies, etc., and I am of the opinion that there are some good points in all of them. Ar- guments can be brought out by special training along any line showing that it would be the best system, but they all leave out the element of hu- man/nature and human nature is-not satisfied nor*honest. . What we need is a congress that can pick out the good points in all of them and endet them into laws, for the good of all the people and special privilege to none, and I think the party that adopts a platform along these lines will carry the next election. The world today is in a terrible tangle, and why has it become that way? There must be.a cause. What is the cause of hard times in the Unit- ed States, with our enormous crops and natural resources, and no foreign liabilities ? Is it lack of foreign tradé and bank- rupt Europe? rope be in a position to bring good times to this country? . I think the greatest cause is that we are living under a law that does not work—the law of supply and demand. The law of supply and demand must have been invented by the speculators as it is a speculator’s law, and does nobody any good except those that have money to gamble with. _ LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND NOT WORKING The law of supply and demand is not selling our wool, corn or labor to- day, and if it wasn’t for organized labor being in the position to apply the brakes, temporarily at least, prices would tumble so fast that the country would go down with a crash. There are too many organizations in this country, all organized for the pur- pose of getting all that the traffic will bear. I believe congress should throw the law of supply and demand over- board and establish standard prices for labor, interest, commodities, etc._ Congress should enact a law making an eight-hour workday and establish- ing a uniform standard wage scale for the United States, also a uniform in- terest rate of not more than 5 per cent. There is no reason why money should draw a large interest, also a maximum price on farm land. With this as a unit the cost of most commodities could be figured out and standard prices established. I would have nearly all business in private hands, with government regu- lation of profits and prices. The gov- ernment would then establish tariff laws or whatever was necessary to protect our standards, regardless of the rest of the world. I am writing this as a mere outline of my idea of putting this country on a sound basis. Are we going to pro- tect ourselves in this land of plenty or go down with the rest of the world under the law of supply and demand? R. N. SWANSON.

Russell Tractors, first made in 1875—several years ahead of any other, are still firstin Relia- bility, and years ahead in proven good features. How Russell Machines Stand Up *‘Our Russell Thresher was purchased by James Reese andGeo.Greer from you way back in ]865. It did the threshing for the whole remains with the undersigned. It has done more or less work every year and is today doing good work” — J. L. and FRANK CHANDLER, Lisbon, O. "I purchased my Russell Tractor from you second hand in 1914. 1 don’t know how long it had been used when I got it, but it is just as gogd as ever and runs fine. 1 have only spent an average of $20.20 a year for ‘repairs and have certainly had good results. Have had the very best success burning kerosene” — W. G. HARTUNG, Newport, Minn. “My old Russell Traction Engine No. 3404 was butlt dack in 1886; it has been in use ever since and is still doing good work for me every season. It has plenty of power and my repair bills have been very small, considering the length of service with this outfit.” — JOHN VOGEL, New Sheffield, Pa. I bought my Russell 12-24 Tractor in 1917 and have used it more in four seasnos than most people do in ten; it pulls three 14-inch Oliver plows in Buffalo sod, black land very satisfactorily and will pull - three 14-inch plows on old ground almost any depth . . . . I have farmed 500 acres for the past three years and have sold all my horses and farm these 500 acres with my tractor. 1 find it 509, cheaper than using horses.”—F. IVAN TINSLEY, Canton, Kas.
