I Make everybody pay hlga'er freight fc , tke wsges of the railroad ,r brotherhoods. Tax everybody to pay the tele-phone tele-phone and telegraph bill of someone else, so politicians can make and play politics. Tax everybody for state owned mills, elevators, stock yards and packing plants to enrich the farmers. Anything you don't like have the government Uxe It over (so long as It Isn't your business), and furnish. some class a service at a higher or lower price as best suits the case and let the customer or the taxpayer pay the bill, I That is the cry of the socialist el- ' '' - ement and the Nonpartisan League from North Dakota to California. I Cannot fair minded and uncorru'pt- ed Americans unmask these policies of paternalism? Where will this system stop? Shall the America republic go down under class legislation, or will It stand for.falr play and Justice and a square deal for all? |
