"No. Mr. Alonzo, he isn‘t." She

knew that Michael always went to

Lonnie threw his but upon the

TIMELY’ VIEWS

WORLD TOPICS
“FARMING IS A BUSINESS;
FARMERS DON'T CARE '10
BE GOVERNMENT WABDS.”
Secretary Jardiue of the. depart-
ment of agriculture has given to the
United States dhamber of commerce
a. statement in which he regards
the American farmer as a business
man with greater capital investment
and vastly more complex business
problems than th average retail
merchant. '
Secretary Jardine asserts that the
farmer does not want to be the
“ward" oe the federal government.
“He doesn‘t want. the government
constantly monkeying will: his busi-
neu." he asserted. "He doesn't
wantto be babied or pltled by other
people: what the farmer wants is
just. this: ‘He wants his business to
have an equ opportunity with
whet-businesses. The sound farm-
er-business man does not seek legis-
lation to fix prices or ,to regulate
details. He knows that legislation
cannot-\nnul economic laws."
"The only legislation he wants is
million that will assist him in
getting reasonable credit on sound
security: legislation that will helt
him build up machinery for -_ mar
kcting his products successfullyp‘ie-
gislation that will put him on e par
with .other business men." .
it the farmer is to receive a larger
proportion of the consumer's dol-
lar he must pay more attention to
marketing methods. The hope of
the farmer in this direction. Mr.
Jardine declares. lies mainly in co-
operative effort.
"There are certain special stut-
utes dealing with banking. with cor-
porations. with labor." Mr. Jardine
says. "The bankerd-vep not demand
legislation any more
from his point of view than these
lqu are from the 'point of view of
the men particularly interested in
them. In the land lies most of the
farmer's capital ,and it is on his
land that he must make a fair in-
terest return. With land at its pre-
sent price. the farmer cannot make
money by using the methods and
getting the returns of 1900.
"'I‘ileu are. of course.“ several
possibilities in this. The farmers
standard of living may be lowered
for one thing. This no farmer i'a-
vors. and no ‘oity man ought to
favor. Advances in standards of
living are among—the marks‘of a
rising civilization.’ln particular the
er's standard ought not to be
lowered. because in .considersble
measure. it sets the standard for
the rest of the country. '
“A poverty-stricken farmer cla-
can never mean a prosperous Amer-
ica. Rather the farmer will strike
to increase production to a point
when it will represent a fair inter-
est return on the present value of
the land.—' That is

out that more care “us needed in
“lusting in the securities of a new
enterprise than in. one which has
demonstrated its earning power.
'i'uat arucu: considered only stocks
irom this standpoint. To a less de-
gree. howucr, the same applies to
bonds.
For instance only the ulnar day an
investor wrote mo that he was the
owner at the bonds at a railroad
company outside continental united
States whicn had Just defaulted their
interest. He said that he had
bought the bonds in good faith as an
ln\cslmcnt and not as a speculation
and that ihcy were recommended by
a. reliable banking house. l‘robabi)

he did not notice that these bonds
were issued on u. road to bc bunt.
In other words “as n socalleti "con-
struction loan." There is no rec-
ord of earnings ,only estimates oi
what the property would earn after
the road had been built had been
putVinto operation. The estimates
were never realized, the project
failed and the bonds defaulted.
There are many of these construc-
tion loans altered to investors and
some of them are entirely sound but
as a. class they do not grade as high
as bonds which are a lien on prop-
erty already income paying. Wheh
you are asked to buy a security has-
ed on future prospects rather than
upon accomplished results it is nec-
essary to examine the situation-with
considerable care. You have no in-
come statements over a period of
years to go by. You can only Judge‘
the offering first by the investment
banking house that underwrites it
and second by the record of the
managemt’nt of the corporation in
similar enterprises. in any case you
must take a little more risk than it
you were buying a bond the record
of which is available for examina-
tion. In return for this. slightly

as Mr. Cole pointed out. the appeal
for support of the bill is being made
largely on sentimental grounds to
the churches and other bodies intcr- ;
ested in promoting lhc moral web;

has been no attempt to circulate the
text of the measure so that its ex-

The 18th amendment prohibits
the manufacture. sale or transpor-
tation.of intoxicating liquor and the
federal enforcement statute are lim-
ited to that degree of prohibition.
The \Vheeler bill would extend the
scope of prohibitlo'n to cover the or-
dering. contracting for. purchasing
or rec ving of intoxicating liquor.
It we also make unlawful gthe
possessi’ on of intoxicating ~liquor. no:
matter how or when acquired. That
liquor or even the acceptance of a
drink offered in the ordinary course
of hospitality. The proposed law
declares than any building it! which
liquor-is unlawfully kept shall be
regarded as a common nuisance.
Since it makes the mere possession
of liquor unlawful any home which
contains: liquor. although it may
have been thou dnce pre-Volstead
