STRONGLY IN FAVOR OF
PROGRESSIVE POLICIES
Would Limit Ownership of Land
And Property as Means of
Protecting Consumer
Editor Newark Journal. I think
we have gone to the extreme in
protecting capital, both as to our
national and local policy. Capital is
like good whiskey—the man and
his friends who sell it to us get a
great deal more benefit out of the
deal than we do. Eight times in
ten we damage ourselves by the
deal. Capital is not a religious in
stitution, but is one that is out
strictly for business, and for all
there is in it; all that law and pow
er will give it. So far as laws are
concerned, they should, to all in
tents and pur poses, be made to
favor the consumer, farmer and
laborer. These are the easiest
classes of all to cheat, defraud and
impose upon. Capital is always ab
le to take care of itself, and should
be the last for us to consider. We
need not be afraid it will run
away and stay away.
A law that grants a privilege
has a right to regulate such busi
ness and fix prices. It follows then
that we can if we want to, make
railroads or any other corporations
arbitrate, or even fix prices for
them to go by. The same is true
of lawyers, doctors or butchers.
By the same principle we can by
amending the constitution, say
how much land, or anything else,
that a person or a corporation may
own. Allow him to sell the over
plus, giving him sufficient time.
Let him put the money in his
pocket. This would end monopoly.
If we want to control prices, we
must have limits. If we allow a
man to own too much land, or any
thing else, he can control prices by
monopoly.
But we can never attain these
things while we send politicians
and incompetent persons to our
state and national legislatures who
do not advocate and are not in fa
vor of these laws.

IZARD FARMER SAYS
DIPPIMG HELP CATTLE
(Continued from page 1)
mosquitoes. I would dip my cattle
every ten days for that advantage
alone, but this is a secondary mat
ter. To kill the ticks is to save the
lives of the cattle. They had be
gun to die last summer but after
we commenced dipping the fever
ceased and we have had no cattle
to die in this section since. The
croakers have gone into hiding and
we are all pleased with the work
of eradication and like the old
darkey said who had professed re
ligion. “If I had knowed de Lawd
had sich good things put away fo’
me, I’d done git him lots of trouble
Veptin I’d got it long ago.”
We will begin dipping again on
the twentieth of this month.
Now, I have no job and am
prompted to write this in order to
encourage the work which means
money to the farmer. If any one
doubts what 1 have said, see or
write the parties named below who
have all watched this work. J.

THE STATE IS IN
FINANCIAL STRAITS
(Continued from page 1)
put the rate back to the point
from which Gov. Davis lowered it,
he will find that it is difficult for
the people to reconcile rate-raising
with their views of conserving the
interests of the people. But more
revenue he must have, and how
else will he get it? The increasing
demands of the state government
more than absorb the natural in
crease in taxation, even with the
operations of the Tax Commission.
Gov. Robinson favors the bud
get system whereby the expenses
of the state can be held within the
limit of its revenues. This was
suggested in the last Legislature,
but nothing came of it. He will
also favor a strict economy of re
sources, and the probable consoli
dation of some offices and the pos
sible abolition of some. It is a
question whether he will recom
mend the present continutation of
all four agricultural schools, and
it is expected that he will recom
mend the consolidation of the Tax
Commission and Railroad Com
mission.
