If certain powers brought about
deflation why can't those same powers
stablize business before the nation
goes bankrupt?
A question we would like for somebody
between Washington and New
1U1K IU 115 1L UU1 II1UUSU1U1
Ills are due to bankrupt Europte how
aid Europe manage to 5? bankrupt
all at once?"
A TAXATION FALLACY.
One of the fallacies under which
we have been laboring is that taxes
*oul?i be so arranged as not to be
paid by the public at larg'o through
the consumption of goods, but by
some special class of citizens who
were endowed with more of this
world's goods than others.
It is said, however, that virtually
every kind of tax, except perhaps the
income tax and the inheritance tax
is paid for by the ultimate consumer.
Ono of the most effective factors in
the high cost of living as experienced
In recent years has been the war
taxes. Th e public indirectly pays
i;iosi taxation, uiou&n aireci payip.ent
may come from special sources.
It is just li'ce thinking that a property
owner pays the taxes on the
pioperty lie owns ami that nobody
sl'sc has a hand in such payment. H"1
does so?directly?hut the money he
gets to pay the taxes with comes
from the tenant, if he has one.
Taxes come from profits, and the
more (axes we pay the higher our oveihead,
on which profits are based.
One reason why the cost of living
will no t be reduced to the pre-war
level is because the war taxes will
continue. The more taxes wo have
tbe higher will be the cost of living.
For some time we have been turning
over in our mind a sermon
preached by Rev. W. C. Allen at the
First Baptist church, tho subject of
which was "Hard Times a Test of
Character." It has been so long since
h^aiu tut atruiuu iiiui tue iex?
from which it was taken has passed
out of our memory and the subject,
which covers the line of thought
throughout the entire sermon, is supplied
by us. It was at the time the nation
was going through the first
stages of the present business depression.
Mr. Allen bore down with special
emphasis on the man who tried to
repudiate or evade his obligations or
offered all manner of flimsy excuses
to postpone the adjustment of a debt.
His words were almost prophetic. A
writer in one of the trade journals
rays that never before in the history
of the nation has there been so much
litigation as at present, and that
court calendars are burdened with
civil cases involving aniouuts of a
f. ,.. rl snI ?*? MM Ml' "
irw uuuai .s up iu millions. II IS
et range that prosperity mak?-s foT
honesty in business dealings, and
I still more strange that some men at
1 the first sign of adversity develop
/ a streak of yellow. We have seen il
/ and others have seen it in the lasi
' Uw months. It is not general; ii
shows itself here and there. Ru1
where there is one man whose char
acter will not stand the test of hare
times, there are hundreds who stan
like solid stone against the attack;
of adversity, and so long as thi:
latter class remains in the majorit;
the nation is safe.
Veteran politicians do not seem t<
"view with alarm" the movement t<
bring the fanners of the west an<
south together in a great politico
party for mutual protection. Old pol
iticians say these movements are in
evitable with every great lndustria
cataclysm and always result in tall
about a great organization amonj
the farmers for the purpose of shap
ing legislation to cure the ills fron
which they suffer. In the next year o
two, however, or before the party cai
ret organized, conditions change; th
farmer begins to receive a fair pric
for his product and he forgets al
about forming a groat political par
t> and taking charge of the govern
^>>s^jjient machinery. And this brief sum
mary just about covers the situation
Six years of low-price farm product
would put the farming element i
control of tho government, but th
nation never as a whole suffers raor
than one year at a time. Where ir
dustrial depression lasts for an
length of time it makes its appeal
ance in spots. One cause for optinr
i in hi ino present time is mat intiUf
trial depression is not only natior
wide but world-wide, and recover
will be moro rapid than if it wcr
confined to any particular section
Before the farmer's party raoveraen
can get well under way wheat o
corn tn the west or cotton In th<
THE D]
couth will be selling at fairly good
prices, and one side or the other will
" not be ready to bargain. That is one
. reason why farmer party movements
of nation-wide scope have always
failed. The history of South Carolina
in the early nineties affords a striking
example of how easy it is to start
a political revolution after several
successive years of low-price farm
products. Ben Tillman was an extraordinary
man, but if it had not
been for low-price cotton in the lat
ter 8vs ana early yu's the chances
are Ben Tillman would never have
been heard of outside of his own
county. There would have been no reform
movement, because there would
have been no occasion for it- And so
It is with the farmers of the nationIf
the price of wheat and corn and
cotton and wool remains below the
cost of production for three or more
years this nation will be swept from
ocean to ocean and lake to gulf by
one of the greatest political revolutions
the world has ever known. It
will be a great farmer's party and
every politician and would-be politician
in the nation would be scrambling
for a seat on the band wagon.
But the price of all these commodities
will not remain below the cost
of production for three or more
years, and there is no hope of a great
political revolution that would put
the farmer in charge of 'ho government
machinery. It is admitted that
he would be greatly benefitted if ho'
could gain control of tlie government.1
tut this h too iemote a possibility'
;r? tie tnken serionslv There is the
|matter of farm credits thai needs attention.
tli marketing of farm pro-(
ducts, the transportation of farm products,
tin. elimination of the middleman,
legislation regulating acreage
and a thousand and one other things
that would give products of the soil'
?the basis of all real wealth?the;
predominant position they deserve in
the industrial world. Big moneyed in-J
terests carried the Farm Loan Act
to the courts and kept it tliere eigli-!
teen months, and now that the i
land bank is about ready to func-j
tion and offer the farmer some relief.,
there have been introduced in con-!
, giess no less than 25 amendments
. which seek to so weaken the act as to
make it practically inoperative. For
these and many other reasons there
should be a farmer's party at least
strong enough to make its influence
a factor in the political affairs of the
nation. |

MOTHER AND SON
BURIKD SAME 1>AV.
i York. April 25?After simple but
impressive services conducted in the
First Presbyterian church by the
Rev. E. E. Gillespie, D. D., the body
of Meeeh Stewart. York boy killed in
action in France, October 8, 1018 and
that of his mother. Mrs. Rebecca McGinnis
Stewart, who died Wednesday
at the home of her daughter in Charlotte,
were laid to rest Sunday afternoon
in Rose Hill cemetery.
The funeral of the young soldier,
whose heroic sacrifice for freedom
has been fittingly commemorated by
naming the local post of the American
Legion in his honor, was with
military honors, a delegation from
the Meeclx Stewart post acting as
pall-bearers, more than three score
members of the post attending in a
, body and a squad of soldiers from
. Camp Jackson firiug the last volley
over his gravd.
That the body of the young solt
dier reached York from far away
t France at virtually the Fame time
. tl at his mother passed away, making
j i( possible to lay both to rest at,
the same time and place, was a singular
and sad coincidence that caused
3 much comment and lent additional
s solemnity to the occasion. She had
y borne Ike news of his sacrifice with
Christian fortitude and patriotic spir-,
it and had since looked forward to
the day when his body should be re-J
J turned for final interment in his
3 home sod.
1 Meech Stewart was a member of
I the One Hundred and Eighteenth infantry.
Thirtieth division, participating
in the furious fighting that marked
the breaking of the Hlndenhurg
' line. He was 26 years of age when
i killed instantly by a shell from the
y enemy's lines, October 8, 1918.

Bill Introduced for Strict Prohibition
1 Washington, April 25?As the first
r step of the fight in congress to tighta
en up the Volstead prohibition ene
forcement law, a bill designed to prohibit
tho sale of beer to the sick on
a doctor's prescription was introduc*
ed in the house today by Chairman
Volstead of the judiciary comraiti
tee.
The measure would not prohibit
( use of wine for medical purposes.
but would make more specific and
3 stringent the regulations on this subn
ject.
e Declaring there was no real necese
sity for beer as a medicine, Mr. Vol.
stead announced that his bill, do
scribed as supplemental to the na
tlonal prohibition act, was put forr
warat this time to meet the situai
tion created by 'he opinion of former
