T i* ( ' ' pa6e two HOWPOLITICAL MACHINES OPERATE! ?' . The Agency Through Which "Inrisible l.ovaraaseat" Is Enthroned aiid Represent*tire Government Is Defeated-?The "Machine" Is the Tail That Wags the Dog. ' Pew voters would willingly consent to Machine rule. But the Machines manage to rule nevertheless ' and notwithstaiiding. How do - the Machines manage to .do itT They are at work now throughout . the country. Let us take an example right here at home. At present in North Carolina there are three hlg stakea^-the Governor's office, the Legislature, and the 24 delegates to the National Convention ?tweny-four votes for President of - the United States. ? The Machine is concentrating its " nttmv inn upon Hero stalrgi ' The people are thinking abhut the Primary Juqe 7th. The Machine is think,ng about the Precinct Meetings April 5th. The people are rending one thing or .another. The Machine/is., at work -underground. These precinct meetings (April 5th) will name delegate.^. to the several County Conevntions. Wbe County Convention* will name delegates to ?'. the Congressional District and State Conventions -will elect 24 delegates ; to th National Convention. Th' Machine sets out to,nsmo and c_qptrrl thest; 24 delegates because each of them has a vote for "the Domccrat - nominee for President. The Machine .wants .."hand-picked" _tufin who y.ill do just as the Machine directs. Thc-r may be for McAdoo. They ' were at San Francisco four years ago, and along jvith his client Doheny voted for hhri -on about forty "ballots. They :nay even vote for Daniels. But being, "hand-picked", whenever the Machine tolls thorn to-vote for someone e'.se they will do ho. They are "trarted" according to the "interest" ijf.thc Machine. If the Machine controlB the North Carolina delegation, it will cut Mr Daniel's throat gt New York. Naturally this gives somebody val- , uable poweT. Whoever deliver twen|j'.. ty-four votes for President in a National Convention has power to trade ?to. get something for himself, money or office or influence. Millions are involved in every presidential con teat. It is in a sense a money propo sition. Bat how does the Machine manage to "hand-pick" delegates? ' Da not the people rule? Mo?the people do not rule: The Mschine rules always until the people become stirred.Here is the point: The votcr^have an opportunity in the precinct meetings?in. your precinct, April 5th? to name delegates to the County Con' j lenticn. The Machine tries to have a few henchmen in every precinct. They are on hand. You do not come to the meeting. So these henchmen go up aa delegates to the -County Convention. That is all. The Machine . " has won?and because you do not think it worth while to attend your precinct meeting and assert your will.' The Machine is always on the job?you are pot! Politics is a'' business with the Mschine. With you it ia a duty or a burden. You talk polity tics, but that is about aH. The Machine goes right into your home prefcinct and gets the delegates while you sleep. They are duly delivered* at the County Convention."They are told which delegates they must vote for for the Congressional District and State Contentions. And theso delegates are told whom to vote L . for to the National Convention. And behold," the Bosses have twenty-four L-\ vot6sr for their man for nrfwiflent I But you want to know how the <, - Machine controls its* henchmen. It I '' paya them money, if neceaaarv. It promises them offices, if necessary. . And it threaten# to cast out any* who refuse to do its will. There is n'gfest deal of-money in1 " j politics?billions. The Machine must have the - money to operate on. IT gets thia money from rich men (like v E. D. McLean, of Washington' for example) who^make money by being on the inside, or from Sinclair or Deheny, who find it gfiod -business to E'. contribute to both''political parties, gt Politics has 'beeome a business in America and in Worth Carolina just i at in (he feat of the, country, "the k--- Machine la the only instrument, of the ' predatory and divisible powers tTjat ^ - rob the people -through their goveriC" 11-... montl?They could 'not operate but for Machines. ?? th* BfAeMnwaisr whep the utsehhas ?

These money-takers are thai "merecenaries of politics. -A grade above them are the lawyers whTr are I promised oBfe-prs tpik who life' {hade: railroad or corporation lawyers) and above them are the bosses who get' thefbig money; and back ef the boss-1 es are the rich men -and corporations that get the tax-exemptions or some money-making special privilege. This sort, of thing has just about destroyed the American Republic. It sill begins .with the Machine henchtnan that controls your precinct meeting. And the only remedy is in the good men and women who will fight this horrible. corruption and win. , The.Railroads take from 850,000;000 t<> $400,000,000 a year from the people of North Carolina in freight. This is at least *$40,000,000 more than is just?so competent students* of the matter say. Do you think that as long a* the Machine stands for this, it will want far mmu'y ??noes this not explain why we have so ifiuch talk about unjust freight rates and so little action - ?There is now n new tariff (a freight schedule) proposed for this State that wili add $225,000.00 a year to the freight o.n cotton-ties alone. You never heard of it, hut v.ju will pay this freight, if tms schedule 1 goes through! f225.000.00 about to' be tukerfthis year ffom our North Carolina farmers?v?md none of them have heard of it " The farmers' of America pay oh the average of 16 per cent of thoirj net income in taxes. The average for all other classes is only 11 per cent! TViis is not a'guesa. This is proved by the official records and was recently stated as a fact by rip less an authority than Senator Borah. The 1 farmers pay 16 per cent while others' pay only 11 per cent mainly because the farmers do not attend their precinct meetings?or when they do at-! tend some rascally fellow with a few) dollars In his pocket pulls, the wool over their eyes. _ But a new day Is at hand. The peopel arc aroused. Tliey know that they have been robbed. They know at last that the predatory powers have taken their government.' They can get to their precinct meetings more easily nowthap-formerly. And they are coming out April 5th. Be on hand and pick ycdir delegates. Vote for none ..but good and1 true men (or women).?Mnrshville Home. THE AIM OF FARMING IS TO PRODUCE SALABLE PRODUCTS. Raleigh, N. C. March 17. Where does marketing begin The aim of a man seeking profits on* the farm: is to produce a salable product. If that is the case he must employ bal a need farming methods. In this way does Gorrell Shumaker, sepcialist in marketing for the State College of Agriculture, state. the case for better attention to growing crops for market. . v He says, 'JThere was a time^jarhen all good farmers prided themselves upon the fatness df their family Cows. t ?

I * THE ROXBOBO COURIER, MM [If Bossy's bony structure was not completely concealed with a heavy layer of fat it was thought that she had not been properly treated. Owners of cattle ih poor condition were looked upon as being* guilty of careless and inhumane treatment. Pres- . ent-day testing methods prove the fallacy of this old belief. We And ' that some fat cows may be very poor milk producers. daws capable of heavy production may become poor producers If not fed a properly bal- ' a need ration. One sort of Vation may be conducive to the production- of | flesh, another to the production of I milk ?nd butterfat. "In like manner' a farm, although , having every appearance of being , fat, may not be* profitable. It may , be capable of producing fine profits if carefully managed, and yet even bountdous yields of poor quality crops or light yields of very high quality products may leave the owner with a loss at the end of the season. A farm, then; like the cow need? bal- _ anced rations. The rations of the farm are the methods employed. Poor seed may be planted m good' soil and yield pobr. results. You may sow good seed in good soil and get an inferior crop if you fail to combat diseases qnd insect pests. Heavy yields may ""Bring onjy a small income il the product-.is.'not .salable. "Every phase of the farm work has its ^beprijigr upon marketing. , Seed selection, seed treatment, time and manner of planting, cultural practices, pest control, time and manner of. harvesting, and- the method of preparing the harvested product for the-market?all are essential in the production of a commodity acceptable in the market."
