from that party to do it than Judge
Kalis, He is an honorable, upright
gentleman.
A rural credit measure granting
lower rate8 of interest and longer
periods of replacement is part of the
constructive agricultural work of
Scott Ferris. This measure passed
the House May 15. 191( and was
signed by the President July 17,
1916.
The McLemore resolution intro*
duced in the Senate by Goae would
have barred Ameriean products
from the seas. Cotton would have
rotted at the docks for want of a
market and wheat would have
sprouted in the shock if this meas-
ure had passed. Scott Ferris helped
defeat it in the House. He vcted
| like an American and like a friend
of the farmer that he is.

V. F EUBANK,
| Scott Ferris voted for $2,50
[ wheat guarantee. Upon the failure
of this measure he voted for $2.40
wheat, When the president vetoed
the measure he voted to over-ride
the veto. This does not sound like
the thump of a rubber stamp. He
was acting in accordance with his
convictions in fa for cf the farmers
o* Oklahoma.
Cnminals Are Made, Not Born '
Criminal! are made, not bora, Recording to a prominent Illinois jurist
who has studied the juvenile question from the bench for nine "oars and
who ought to know. This is what he says:
"Criminals are made and npt b rn," he savs. "Xinetv per rent of
those made could be kept in the right path* if reached early enough.
"Lack of parental control or home conditions which cause the boy to
seek amusement or companionship elsewhere, almost invariably end in
trouble for the boy. He geta in bad company and the next thing be is
in court charged with petty thievery or destruction of property, the usual
juvenile misdemeanors.
"Certain kinds of moving picture#, too, hare a bad effect. The glamor
of lawlessness and crime should never be aeen by the growing boy, as they
tend to influence a desire for imitation.
"Keep your boy away from the 'gang spirit,' That ia where most qf
the trouble cornea in. There are organized groups of boys who go around
together and get into trouble. These groups or gangs have some meeting
place in a shack or barn somewhere. Thia is due to the neglect of the par-
ents, who should have the boys home where they can be properly supervised.
It is up to the parents to break up these gangs. They can do it easier than
any one else.
"Few cases come into court where the boy is of good family, a regular
attendant at school and living in good surroundings. When this happens
the boy is generally a mental deficient in some manner or another."
Explaining the purpose of th« juvenile court, the jurist said:
"The primary object is the welfare of the child. We try to impress
that upon the parents and to secure' their co-operation. Boys are paroled
always when it is their first offense. If brought in a second time and they
show no signs of doing better we take them from their parents and put
them where someone will see that they have proper supervision and care.
We try to keep them out of institutions as long as possible. When they are
paroled we try to gp further through visiting their homes and advising
their parents and seeking to change the conditions which caused the trou-
ble. We do not want to take the children from their parents, but instead
trv \o keep the honie intact. When it comes to a point where the parents
won't co-operate with us and there is apparently no hope of reforming the
b>y in his home, we take him away. There ig nothing left theiy but that,

destructive taxation
Daniel Webster's argument in
the Dartmouth college cases, that
the power to tax is the power to de-
stroy, has never been successfully
met. The deliberate purpose of
the single taxer. who would place
all taxation upon land values, is to
make land undesirable and worth-
ier. Then the state becomes the
universal landlord and under the
"ii gle Tax theory collects sufficient
tax from the land to run the gov-
ernment. The indirect effect of
* - — - J
excessive high taxes, Or mileage
against property that is more or
less coufiscatory, is identically the
same. Hence in California the
people will seek to limit the power
of initiating new taxation measures
by requiring 25 per cent petitions.
The people of California sought to
limit the power to tax property to
one dollar on the thousand in the
constitution but in Vain. The tax
eating profession have found ways
to circumvent this and today Cali-
fornians are paying the highest per
capita in the nation. The people
of Oregon sought to limit taxation
increases by taxing bodies with a
Constitutional amendment forbid-
ding over G per cent a year. But
an unlimited power of initiative by
the Oregon legislature has swamped
this 6 per cent, limit and jumped
state ta* levies from 3,25 to 9.21.
Upon the passage of the draft
act Scott Ftrris registered. His
age was 41 years at that time. He
claimed no exemption. jHc was
ready to go. The armistice came
before he was called. The soldier
had no better friend in congress
than Scott Ferais. He votod for
every increase and against every
dt crease in salary.
