WHEN COUNTRY PEOPLE proceed to help themselves by means
of a great farm bureau organization, they are forcibly calling govern
ment’s attention to the things that government itself ought to do.
•‘God helps them that help themselves.” is all right, hut tin time
has pretty nearly dawned for government also to help the people, and we
will be very much mistaken if farm bureau federation procressiveness
does not. before long, stir our Federal Congress to more important action
than has ever been dreamed of before.
Why should the people of a nation forever be doing things for their
government, with little or no return of the compliment ?
The Federal Farm Loan. .Bureau law was a good beginning, but it
doesn’t go a hundredth part of the way. Where it assists thousands to
establish prosperous homesteads, Congress should enable it to assist
millions to satisfy their homing instinct. And not only on ih»* farms
but in our country towns.
The government has seen what good roads have done in scattered
parts of the nation, bringing isolated farm people, and their products dose
to the town and city for the benefit of the general population. Why
should not Congress vastly extend good roads immediately giving work
to hundreds of thousands, and paying the cost of it all twenty times over
In the increased wealth of the people and of the nation an a whole?
We all know the difference between the country town (center of
communities) with paved streets and the country town whose streets are
paved with mud. The people for miles around are glad to driv*- into
the former. Their visits make for good will, personal friendships and
happiness; for better business in town and on the farm; for the dissem
ination of intelligence and civilization. Why shouldn’t government pave
the streets of our small towns—at no cost—or very little—to the com
munity? Why?
These projects are only a few—a mere beginning—of the enter
prises government could easily take in hand. Of course, our ultra
conservative folks might regard them as dreams, as too much to hope for.
but that’s because they look at things from the viewpoint of the past, which
did not expect much more from government than protection, the collection
of taxes, politics and the making of laws. Hut those things are settled
facts; progress calls for constantly greater accomplishments and a peo
ple's government is not true to democracy unless it progresses.
Cost too much money? Not at all. No man improves his pro
perty without increasing its value and without increasing his wealth. It
would be so with Uncle Sam. Every dollar he spent on farm, homesteads,
country town homes, rural roads, and country town paving, sewerage, etc.,
would bring forth another dollar—aye., many dollars—to extend the work
elsewhere.
The people of America are the government. Let the people help
themselves through their other self—the thing called government.
Anyway, folks, think it over !—Exchange.
TREATING (’OXVK’TS FAIRLY.
RETURNING FROM AN investigation of industrial labor conditions
in the state penitentiaries of Minnesota and Wisconsin, John W. Pace,
assistant director of business control of the State of Washington, brings
the information that there is a lower percentage of released convicts re
committed for new crimes In these states than the records of the Washing
togton state penitentiary show.
This, Pace believes, is due to the fact that Minnesota and Wisconsin
pay their convicts a small wage for their prison labor, holding it to their
credit in the prison safe until their release.
When a man gets out of a Washington prison, he gets a new suit
of clothes, a squeaky new pair of shoes, a railway ticket home and $5 in
cash. • Rarely will a 15 bill last him until he can And a new Job—
certainly not these days.
race s proposals for paying prison laborers on the basis of wbat
they can earn the state have a strong humanitarian appeal. His whole
program depends, for its success, of course, upon what it may cost the
taxpayer. He has announced that the old jute mill is to be abandoned_
which was always a dead loss and which taught convicts no trade they
could follow anywhere outside of prison walls. A move everybody will
applaud. He now proposes to install machinery for the making of auto
mobile license plates, street and road signs, etc., which he believes will
save the state money. The new shoemaking plant is now in operation,
well as the new knitting mill and wood working plants at the boys and
girls reformatories. *
The Pace program involves right principles. The whole stale
will watch its working out with interest.—Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

A tiger from the Tigris and a rhino

So they made the cock from Cochran

They baked their bread at Bakers
