Frctr/.y Kxhaustlnj; Itstdf f-pHE frenzy into which the Genoa confur- 1 ence was thrown by the announcement of the signing of a treaty between Germany and Russia has now about exhausted itself, with the conference. apparently having made up Its mind thai the treaty Is an accom¬ plished fact and its renunciation not to bo expected under any form of pressure at tho rightful command of the allied group. How- over, much tho negotiation of this treaty may havo interfered with the scheme ol the allies to work their will with both Germany and Russia in respect to their undivulged plan for establishing a basis for the economic recovery of Europe, the sudden springing of the treaty on tho conference will have tho effect of hastening the development of that plan. Tho punishment imposed on Germany .barring it from participation in the delib¬ erations of the commission on questions cor¬ responding to those already settled between Germanj- and Russia.has been accepted as the'lessor evil of the alternative choico of abandoning tho treaty. Thus fortilled, tier- many is not afraid that its partner in the pact will yield any of tho advantages se¬ cured to each under it in the deliberations that are to follow. Tho Russian reply to the allies' demands JB encouragingly conciliatory and furnishes a basis for negotiations which advances the tsonierenco to a stage where its problems can be faced understandingly by all of the na¬ tions participating therein. The essence of thelRusslan r. ply is that tho Soviet will as¬ sume Russia's debts and agree to compen¬ sate foreigners for property nationalized in Russia, on condition that the Soviet regime be recognized as the de jure government of Russia and that adequate llnancial as¬ sistance shall be forthtfoming^to rehabilitate the country. Thus.''win* o"u.t beating around the bush, Russia comes nut plainly and states what it wants and what it is willing to concede in order to get it. It offers a program of barter in which there is some element of risk for the nations which fear the spread of .rnunistie ideas by the ad¬ vantage that v. mid bo given through the political p¦' ognition of a government intitul¬ ed on th"in, but great economic gain for all if this element of risk can be reduced to its lowest terms. It is conceivable that the allied group, for the sake of 11:** ec onomic gain that would be mad" possible by reaching such an under¬ standing, would be willing to extend condi¬ tional recognition to the Soviet government during a probationary period, in which its promises would be subjected to tlio test of actual performance, bit it is seriously to be doubted if the grave risk involved will influence this gr tup to go to the limit of granting immediate d> jur re«-ogni?ion. If the alib i will agr-- to Kus-i t pmp«. .il fur adequate lit:;:ticjal assistance, >.<. il>t it will br willing to accept condition recog¬ nition.

And yet, there is no over-reaching in the "dffltrlte objectives" e»f this campaign now being- launched by the- Sti-.te ( oun .1 of Rural' Agencies, no reason to feel that tlo- undertakiitK; may fall from Hr own w.-ight. The purpose of this campaign in to carry tho message of enrlchmont to the people themselves, ami it is tho rightful part of no oiio to question what tho pooplo may under¬ take on their own usi'ount. In its simplest terms we lw^vo in this movement an intelli¬ gent, well-directed effort to creato among the people of the State a clearer understand¬ ing of their community needs, a stronger im¬ pulse toward meeting those needs and or¬ ganized locul efforts to that end. t'pon what aspects of community lifo will special emphasis bo placed? Tho an¬ swer may be found in tho following main divisions of campaign interests: rural schools, rural health, roads, the church, the home and agriculture. In short, whatever is of vital concern to the people, whatever fundamentally affects their community lit'', will come within tho Hold of this State-wide campaign. And that aspect of the campaign which is richest in promise of great accom¬ plishment is that it is not to be a campaign among the people, but of. for ami by the people; from their local organizations, their united effort, their loyal, intelligent co-oper¬ ation in this movement for a better Virginia must come a splendid contribution to tho common good. A Hanking Nation /""^OMPI ROLLER CRISSINGER'S address ^ at Gainesville, Fin., was delivered bo- fore tho Hankers' Association of that State, and dealt in tlie main with the obligations and opportunities of the bankers themselves. Hut that is not to say that the address is lacking in popular interest. On the contrary, one portion of it should be of special signiti- cance to all Americans.not so much be¬ cause it presents any really new or start¬ ling truth, but because it directs attention to a fact of high economic importance that is too often ignored. That fact, without, elaboration, is set forth in the following sentence: "I mean that the American habit of depositing In the bank and of making payments through it consti¬ tutes the most effective possible mobiliza¬ tion of the credit resources of the country." Few of us. perhaps, realize how largely this "American habit" contributed to the na¬ tion s wonderful response in the emergency that thrust upon America's shoulders the financial burden of the world war. "If our banking system," says Mr. Crissinger, "had not been equal to that strain, the burden would not have been carried, and the re¬ sult might have been very different." Hut it was equal to the strain, and not altogether because of the excellence of tho system it¬ self; popularization of the banks, as Mr. Crissinger points out, was a tremendous fac¬ tor. The comptroller declares that tho United States is the loader among nations in the proportionate number of bank depositors. That is a fact not to be viewed too exclusive¬ ly as a result or effect of great national wealth; it must be considered also as one of the potent causes of woalth. The bank depositor is happily described by Mr. Cris- singor as "a contributor to the great fund ot community credit." These contributors fortified the country for tho financial side of its part in tho war; today they are keep¬ ing in a state of mobilization the credit re¬ quired for the country's Industrial and com¬ mercial recovery. They are performing an important community service, in most cases quite unconsciously, and at the same time laying or strengthening the foundations of their individual personal fortunes. Hank patronage should be understood more clear¬ ly as a part of effective citizenship. Fortune With the Wantons WHEN John Nance (iarner. Democrat, representing the Fifteenth Texas Dis¬ trict in Congress for the past twenty years, got up in the House the other day and, af¬ ter a bitter speech denouncing his fellow Democrat, Thomas Lindsay Hlanton, Repre¬ sentative from the Seventeenth Texas Dis¬ trict for the past six years, declared that he expressed the mind of l".'l other members of the House when he said that Hlanton was a disgrace to the lawmaking body and ou.ht to be unceremoniously kicked out. the pub¬ lic naturally Jumped to tho conclusion that Hlantons political future had been effec¬ tually "cooked" by this exposure of his tin- popularity with his fellow members, ami that his Texas constituency would take the hint and vote an imperative mandate for him to stay at home at the end of his present term. Hut this attack upon their Representa¬ tive appears not to have lessened their re¬ gard for him in the least. On tho contrary, it is freely predicted that he will be re¬ nominated and re-elected by an increased majority. Not only so, hut the chances are that the Democrats of the Thirteenth Texas District * will re-enforce Hlanton s sinking cause l»y sending his sister. Miss Lucy Webb Hlanton, present State Superintendent of Education, to Join him in Congress. Re- t'titlv I,. \v. i'arrish, who represented that district in Congress, lost his llfo in an an to- mobile accident and a special election bat been ordered to fill the vacancy. Miss Hlan¬ ton has announced her candidacy for both the unexpired and the regular terms, and the political wiseacres of the State arc pretty generally agreed that she will win an easy victory for both terms. She has been twice elected State Superintendent of Edu¬ cation by overwhelming majorities and. Judging by her past popularity, these politi¬ cal forecasters havo accurately read (he signs of th" times. So, Instead of Hlanton b.-i:ig driven out of Congress by his fellows, fortune seems to !<e about to do him the splendid turn of sending another member of the same familv ii help him bid defiance to his enemies When Lucy Webb Hlanton takes her seat by hi- side as the Congrosswoman from the Thirteenth District of Texas, not even the Came Cock from the Rio Grande distrfct VVi!| have the temerity to point the finger of v' orn at him.

In the (irst of the above scriptural quota¬ tions w« have the testimony of John con- «erning Jesusr of Nazareth, who was so close t> the latter in his work an<l grasped its meaning so readily that he came to lie known as the beloved disciple.the disciple upon whom Jesus leaned with perfect confidence in the intelligent sincerity of the love pro¬ fessed by hint tor his teacher. The second scripture Is the utterance of a gentle, but sorrowful, rebuke by the Son of man hiius'clf to the Jews among whom, and for whom, he labored with patient hope and with the sublimest example of courage the world lias perhaps ever witnessed. I He history <>f civilization attests that from time to time men of exceptional intui¬ tive insight into the great law of life, the truths of the physical and spiritual world, have been born of the family of men.we < .ill them geniuses, and to the Nazarene lias been accorded by a considerable portion of humanity, something over and beyond that but among all the men of great Intuition and ol the capacity, disposition and courage to rightly use his talent for the benefit of man¬ kind. Jesus, perhaps, ranks them all. Uerause or ignorance, deception nnd super¬ stition. the world has been slow in coming to understand 111m and the great purpose that lie had in mind to redeem the world from conditions then prevailing and In time, in the eternal years to come, to establish justice and equality wherever human life ex¬ isted. Ah in His mission lie was brought face to face with the giant forces in society that lie bad to combat, the realization slow¬ ly dawned upon Him that He must yield Him¬ self up a martyr to the cause of truth.to the cause that will ultimately triumph through the life and light Ho bequeathed to the world as Its richest legacy in the strug¬ gle ».> establish justice and equality In all the earth. The realisation that the Kacritlce was necessary was a bitter draught, but uncom¬ plainingly He drank it to the very dregs, in very truth Ho gave up His life that that life might In all the ages to come become "the light of mon." . Slowly, yet surely, that light Is dispelling the fogs of ignorance, deception and super¬ stition, and is revealing to the world.the lowly ^ world, which as it gradually emerges from oppression is quickest to grasp the ttuths that He sought to convey.Jesus of Nazareth as II.- was, and what He sought to do for humanity. Yes. in Jesus was life, and because He magnified that life In the true way. He must more and more become the light of men. ^ et, while what is said above as to the crowing understanding of and Influence of the Nazareth teacher in the world, the verity of His sorrowful statement. "And ye will not come to Me, that ye might have life." finds abundant illustration nineteen centuries after His martyrdom in the very heart of the institutions that exist in His name. Here is testimony from a contemporary writer that reveals Jesus in His true char¬ acter: "The life of Jesus, ir carefully studl.-d. presents a perfect picture of simplicity. Ho stood for the extreme of ev« rythlng that is simple. in habits, home, garments and de¬ sires, He was more simple than even a nor¬ mal child. The only glories or splendors that stand out in all the story of His doing and dying are those of the skies, the field, the hillsides and the sea. There are no palaces, no high feasts, no pageants, no splen¬ did robes, no triumphs in which music and flags play a part, it 1st all the simplest sort of everyday doing ami being, and whenever He spoke. It was in simple words. He urged Ills followers to keep simple. "Except ve become as little children.' was one of His prime injunctions." Jesus realized that the "palaces." tl,e "high feasts." and the "splendid robe*" were enjoyed by the few at the expense of the toil and moll, the privation and suffering, the pour- ing out of tlie blood of the many. Yet despite this teaching and example of simplicity, out of which comes the clearest perception of truth and duty, it does some¬ times appear as if that portion of the world which most loudly professes to follow Je.s'us had determined to practice the very opposite what lie taught, simplicity is being set aside more and more, and the coming harvest is foreshadow.d in the rumblings of discon¬ tent in tlie ranks of the overburdened mil¬ lions? of toilers, who by fraud are robbed of the full rewards of their labor, that the few might live amid the splendors of a wanton purposeless existence. The wider the departure from the spirit of His teachings on the part of those who are flatbed with power and influence in the ac¬ tivities of this life, the sooner will come the general awakening that will he irresistible in establishing the principle* for whose support He. in the maturity of early manhood, gave up Health Queries by Dr. Brady Kmhurgo on .Symptoms.Dr. lirudy would ii'iiuiul numerous correspondents that he can¬ not describe diseases or tell the symptoms of disease.-, for tin- delectation of readers*.

(Copyright, National Hwspapcr 8orvlce.) Voice of the People on Topics of the Day True lutcrest* of llic Knrtiicr. To the Editor of The Times-Dispatch: Sir,.(jcorgo \V. Kolner has in bulletin 174 u paragraph entlllod "The Farmer and the Tariff." This appears to mis about as far away from the true interests of farmers as it could get. A tariff on anything the farmer] lias to export is absurd on the faco of it. A year hkq the Congress put a tariff of :t0 cents a bushel on wheat and in a week the prlco; dropped from Jl.fiU to $l.;tt>, and Kept on going down until it reached about $1. Canadian wheat was shut out of this country and forced to Dondon, where world demand for wheat Is ex¬ pressed, and helped to depress the market price. A tariff on hides don't help the farmer. lie has an old cow die on his h.iiids now and then, but that amounts to very little. It is the i.acker that has hides by the mil¬ lions, but it is tho rariner who pays the hlk'li prices for shoes and leather. And to with wool. The tariff gives the few farmers who have a few sheep a few cents, but when he buys his clothes, what has happened to him? There Is a "tariff league" out in Wisconsin whose slogan !s "For every dollar the new tariff gives the farmer it takes live away from him." The emergency tarilT was dope fur¬ nished by the manufacturers to p it the farmers to sleep while they op¬ erated on them. Farmers asking for tariffs means farmers Inviting manu¬ facturers to exploit them. The farmers' true Interest lies 1 keeping the tarilT low on manufac¬ tured articles to prevent manufac¬ ture rs from robbing them. If I may trespass a Utile further, 1 will say that the farmer's other problem is to furnish cheap food to the people at a fair profit to himself, bearing In ml ml that this profit Is to lm protected from the gre< d of man¬ ufacturers and retailers. I.ow tariffs will help to tlo this. At present the farmer is furnishing high-priced food for the people tit a loss to him¬ self, hut it is not the farmer that makes the price to the people. The farmer Is the only person on earth that does not fix the price of his own property, lie does not even llx the price to the middleman who buys directly from him; he has to take what they agree together to give. Now. to solve this problem of cheap food at a fair profit it Is nec¬ essary tov study carefully the basic facts In Die problem furnished by the Agricultural Department some years ago Out of the consumer's dollar paid for farm produce tho farmer nets S.'i per cent: transporta¬ tion pets 7 per cent; the middleman gets .IS per cent. Here we have a cost of 5* cents In the dollar to distribute, to hand on >.\.-r the counter farm produce, and transportation Is not included, it Is up to the farmer to discover If distribution can be done for loss and still show a fair profit on dis¬ tribution If he finds, f,,r instance, .hat it can be d"tie for IS cents, that would leave 40 cents, and If 20 cents of this were added to the farmer's 2." -it would make which would give the farmer a fair profit; and if the other 20 cents were taken off the consumer's price It would give much cheaper food to the people I here are two necessities ir. the rase, a profit for the farmer and cheaper food for the people. A profit en distribution is desirable, but not a necessity, because If the farmer to'ik the whole problem of distri¬ bution info his own hands without profit or loss, ho would still have! his produce profit and the people) would have cheaper foo.l How l:« 'he farmer to determine a fair cost for distribution? So far as I can see, there js but one way.oxperi- ence. Follow his business to the) ities and open exchanges In the cities and have these city exchanges establish a sufficient number of re¬ tail audits to curb the retailers by letting the people know what Is a fair price for food. These city ex- j changes can use commission men and retailers, but they must be ther« to tlx the price to the consumer based cost. ;,!ul collect all funds and remit to county exchanges and also to prevent shipment of more than their mark et requires. In the ex¬ port cities they will also sell direct to foreigners. This wHl bring Into play the law of supply and demand. When foreign demand is high, prices will rise; when low, prices will fall. The farmer ifj not liable to forget that he and the consumer are friends. That each is necessary to the other, that is, of the first Importance that they understand each other. The farmer who understands his best in¬ terests will not Join Ihe manufactur¬ er in demanding high tariffs to ex¬ ploit the consumer and raise the cost of living, but will engage his full powtr to make food cheap, and de¬ mand that things he has to buy with his profits be both good and cheap. Public opinion and hacking is the finest asset in the world, and the farmer wants it. The vast majority of the people have fixed Incomes, salaries, wages or small profits, and they want to see their limited dollars able to buy a comfortable living. They will hail with gladness an effort of the farm¬ ers to help them. n. n. spii.man*. Warrinton, Va., April 11', 1522. Wants lloml Isxiir Killed, To the iCditor of Tho Times-Dispatch: Sir: "And others' follies teach us not, Xor milch their wisdom teaches, And most, of sterling worth. Is what Our own experience preaches." The above lines come to mind as 1 consider the persistent influences being exerted by selfish political and newspaper interests to promote the proposition to Issue J12.000.000 In bonds to build roads. The bond issue seems most popular with newspapers published in a few towns and cities where a few citl7.cn? and editorial writers appear to think the State highway system should he constructed, principally, as a means favorable to swift automobile travel from one large town to another. Thus, they seek to enhance present luxury at the expense of future gen¬ era'. ions. The newspapers favor bonds be¬ cause, on the surface, it seems in accord with progressive interests of the towns where llie papers are pub¬ lished, anil because of these influ- en< es in the past Slate road funds have been allotted to special inter¬ ests in townshipii and with scant consideration for rural communities. Some politicians favor bonds, in eva¬ sive manner, principally because they solicit newspaper Influence as an aid during campaigns. Hut. evidently, both the pre.»s and politicians realize that the great ma¬ jority of the voters are opposed to a bond issue; consequently, the per¬ sistent and prolonged effort of cer¬ tain papers to overcome public sen¬ timent, regardless of the fact that our representatives in the Assembly have repeutcUly and truly avccdcd to I.rttern for the "Voire of the I'roiilv'' Column dhoulil nnl exceed :UM> »unln In li'ii|j;lli.

During Ii!h campaign less ttian one year ago 10. l<ee Trlnkle declared himself l«i lie "opposed to a bond i»sue, or any oilier Increase in taxes at this time." Apparently this state- uicnt was, at least, an exasperating evasion of the point, a thinly veiled deception. In his Inaugural address, a few weeks later, we find Governor Trinklc arguing v change of condl- tlons and advocating a 1-cent per gallon tax on gasoline, as an infer- I'turt' In favor of the bond Issue, and now ho Iiiir expressed himself In favor of the bonds. This Indleates an Impossible vbunKO of mind In so short a time. The writer has not noticed tho change In conditions. Purine the cam pa I mi the people were not vitally interested In what Mr. Trlnkle opposed at that time. lie was not Governor then and it mat¬ tered little. What the voters were entitled to know during the cam¬ paign was, how Mr. Trlnkle would handle the paramount issues under discussion when he became Governor. The bond Issue, under existing c!-- cumsLances, involves and violates the fundamental philosophical principles of sound business and safe govern¬ ment. This. In relation to the im¬ mediate past, should be a timo for readjustment, not continuation of war-time emergency methods. During the emergency of threaten¬ ing danger to our national liberty the Federal government was justi¬ fied in issuing vast sums in I.lbert v and Victory bonds essentlnl to su« cessful conduct of the war. We and future generations must pay the in¬ terest and principal on these bonds, and we and future generations alike will enjoy peace and liberty as a result of the heroic methods llu', such methods should be strictly re¬ served for use in times of emergency only. Su«-h restraint Is necessar> to keep down our present tax and avoid unjust fax on future genera- t Ions. At this time our national attitude Is Influenced by a sense of exultation due to victory In war. but let « not be deluded 'by the Idea that emer¬ gency resources may be logically ap¬ plied as peace-time policies. We cannot Justly issue bonds under pres¬ ent circumstances, because we can¬ not build permanent or adequate roads, we cannot assume to predict the practical needs of future gen¬ erations. Future citizens must meet their own problems of public Im¬ provements according to future con¬ ditions and we should not expert them to pay debts for what they might In their timo consider our fol¬ lies. Methods of road construction thirty years ago are not practical for pres. flit trufllc. Conditions and circutn- stanccs aro constantly changing1. Thirty years hence will likely re¬ quire different capacity and methods of road construction. Then, too, the recent Investigation of the State Highway lJepartment revealed a practice of very liielllclent manage- mcnt during the past. When this department Is reorganized to func¬ tion hi a inoro effective manner, as has beeu provided for In n hill passed hjr the recent Assembly. the funds available under present pro¬ vision ought to bo sutliclent for necessary road construction and re¬ pair under existing conditions. At least, let us he sure that wo have practical application of available funds and what the result will lit; before increasing the fund. Tl»e proposed tax of 1 cent per gallon on gasoline Is tax, and It Is Just that much Increase In taxes. Such a re¬ course to pay Interest and create a sinking fund to liquidate the prin¬ cipal on a 112,000.000 bond Issue In too impossible for serious considera¬ tion. We have the wireless telegraph and radiophone now; Iria few years we may have wireless transmission of power; and what would he the effect on present methods of transporta¬ tion? We have now and are build-- lug more landing fields for aero¬ planes. we may soon realize a revo¬ lution in methods of travel. If we Issue bonds to build roads, the routes of present fancies may begin to un¬ dergo transitory ohanircs In cir¬ cumstances before the roads are Mu¬ lshed. And In any case the present construction of roads would be worn out anil the capacity become Inade¬ quate Ionic before future generations were through paying the debt. However, we shall not (tease rea¬ sonable efforts to build roads for present needs and In accord with practical foresight because of prob¬ able or possible future developments. Our efforts toward public improve¬ ment should lie noverni'd by a prin¬ ciple cf pay as we go. "Forward, not backward'" yes, but lets proceed with a clear vision and reasonable re¬ straint.

Frctr/.y Kxhaustlnj; Itstdff-pHE frenzy into which the Genoa confur-1 ence was thrown by the announcementof the signing of a treaty between Germanyand Russia has now about exhausted itself,with the conference. apparently having madeup Its mind thai the treaty Is an accom¬
plished fact and its renunciation not to boexpected under any form of pressure at thorightful command of the allied group. How-over, much tho negotiation of this treatymay havo interfered with the scheme ol theallies to work their will with both Germanyand Russia in respect to their undivulgedplan for establishing a basis for the economicrecovery of Europe, the sudden springing ofthe treaty on tho conference will have thoeffect of hastening the development of thatplan. Tho punishment imposed on Germany.barring it from participation in the delib¬erations of the commission on questions cor¬
responding to those already settled betweenGermanj- and Russia.has been accepted asthe'lessor evil of the alternative choico ofabandoning tho treaty. Thus fortilled, tier-many is not afraid that its partner in thepact will yield any of tho advantages se¬
cured to each under it in the deliberationsthat are to follow.Tho Russian reply to the allies' demands
JB encouragingly conciliatory and furnishesa basis for negotiations which advances thetsonierenco to a stage where its problems canbe faced understandingly by all of the na¬tions participating therein. The essence ofthelRusslan r. ply is that tho Soviet will as¬sume Russia's debts and agree to compen¬sate foreigners for property nationalized inRussia, on condition that the Soviet regimebe recognized as the de jure governmentof Russia and that adequate llnancial as¬sistance shall be forthtfoming^to rehabilitatethe country. Thus.''win* o"u.t beating aroundthe bush, Russia comes nut plainly andstates what it wants and what it is willingto concede in order to get it. It offers aprogram of barter in which there is someelement of risk for the nations which fearthe spread of .rnunistie ideas by the ad¬vantage that v. mid bo given through thepolitical p¦' ognition of a government intitul¬ed on th"in, but great economic gain for allif this element of risk can be reduced toits lowest terms.
It is conceivable that the allied group, forthe sake of 11:** ec onomic gain that would bemad" possible by reaching such an under¬standing, would be willing to extend condi¬tional recognition to the Soviet governmentduring a probationary period, in which itspromises would be subjected to tlio test ofactual performance, bit it is seriously tobe doubted if the grave risk involved willinfluence this gr tup to go to the limit ofgranting immediate d> jur re«-ogni?ion. Ifthe alib i will agr-- to Kus-i t pmp«. .il furadequate lit:;:ticjal assistance, >.<. il>t itwill br willing to accept condition recog¬nition.

THE keynote r>f the coiiiTtiunily life ram-paign, now beginning thi< ugh the a'e,
could hard >. be expres.-eel n,o:<- tiv.-lythan in the following word detached froma summary of the* campaign c.. >_. .;ves:"... fe>r the- enrichment <>i tl life of thepeople of Virginia." As a slogan, nothingcould surpas- the title here used ai. 1 .;«k<-nfrom the- cover of the oili' lal catupaigii 1m'id-book. The- building of belter communities,tho enrichment of the people's lite' whatis not comprehended bv that program ofbroad service may lo- .aid to b< .: n<, in¬structive relation tr» the- aft airs of our pe-o-pie. .
And yet, there is no over-reaching in the"dffltrlte objectives" e»f this campaign nowbeing- launched by the- Sti-.te ( oun .1 ofRural' Agencies, no reason to feel that tlo-undertakiitK; may fall from Hr own w.-ight.The purpose of this campaign in to carry
tho message of enrlchmont to the peoplethemselves, ami it is tho rightful part of nooiio to question what tho pooplo may under¬take on their own usi'ount. In its simplestterms we lw^vo in this movement an intelli¬gent, well-directed effort to creato amongthe people of the State a clearer understand¬ing of their community needs, a stronger im¬pulse toward meeting those needs and or¬ganized locul efforts to that end.
t'pon what aspects of community lifowill special emphasis bo placed? Tho an¬swer may be found in tho following maindivisions of campaign interests: ruralschools, rural health, roads, the church, thehome and agriculture. In short, whateveris of vital concern to the people, whateverfundamentally affects their community lit'',will come within tho Hold of this State-widecampaign. And that aspect of the campaignwhich is richest in promise of great accom¬plishment is that it is not to be a campaignamong the people, but of. for ami by thepeople; from their local organizations, theirunited effort, their loyal, intelligent co-oper¬ation in this movement for a better Virginiamust come a splendid contribution to thocommon good.
A Hanking Nation/""^OMPI ROLLER CRISSINGER'S address^ at Gainesville, Fin., was delivered bo-fore tho Hankers' Association of that State,and dealt in tlie main with the obligationsand opportunities of the bankers themselves.Hut that is not to say that the address islacking in popular interest. On the contrary,one portion of it should be of special signiti-cance to all Americans.not so much be¬cause it presents any really new or start¬ling truth, but because it directs attentionto a fact of high economic importance thatis too often ignored.
That fact, without, elaboration, is set forthin the following sentence: "I mean that theAmerican habit of depositing In the bankand of making payments through it consti¬tutes the most effective possible mobiliza¬tion of the credit resources of the country."Few of us. perhaps, realize how largely this"American habit" contributed to the na¬tion s wonderful response in the emergencythat thrust upon America's shoulders thefinancial burden of the world war. "If ourbanking system," says Mr. Crissinger, "hadnot been equal to that strain, the burdenwould not have been carried, and the re¬sult might have been very different." Hutit was equal to the strain, and not altogetherbecause of the excellence of tho system it¬self; popularization of the banks, as Mr.Crissinger points out, was a tremendous fac¬tor.The comptroller declares that tho United
States is the loader among nations in theproportionate number of bank depositors.That is a fact not to be viewed too exclusive¬ly as a result or effect of great nationalwealth; it must be considered also as oneof the potent causes of woalth. The bankdepositor is happily described by Mr. Cris-singor as "a contributor to the great fundot community credit." These contributorsfortified the country for tho financial sideof its part in tho war; today they are keep¬ing in a state of mobilization the credit re¬quired for the country's Industrial and com¬mercial recovery. They are performing animportant community service, in most casesquite unconsciously, and at the same timelaying or strengthening the foundations oftheir individual personal fortunes. Hankpatronage should be understood more clear¬ly as a part of effective citizenship.
Fortune With the Wantons
WHEN John Nance (iarner. Democrat,representing the Fifteenth Texas Dis¬
trict in Congress for the past twenty years,got up in the House the other day and, af¬ter a bitter speech denouncing his fellowDemocrat, Thomas Lindsay Hlanton, Repre¬sentative from the Seventeenth Texas Dis¬trict for the past six years, declared that heexpressed the mind of l".'l other members ofthe House when he said that Hlanton was adisgrace to the lawmaking body and ou.htto be unceremoniously kicked out. the pub¬lic naturally Jumped to tho conclusion thatHlantons political future had been effec¬tually "cooked" by this exposure of his tin-popularity with his fellow members, ami thathis Texas constituency would take the hintand vote an imperative mandate for himto stay at home at the end of his presentterm.
Hut this attack upon their Representa¬tive appears not to have lessened their re¬gard for him in the least. On tho contrary,it is freely predicted that he will be re¬nominated and re-elected by an increasedmajority. Not only so, hut the chances arethat the Democrats of the Thirteenth TexasDistrict * will re-enforce Hlanton s sinkingcause l»y sending his sister. Miss Lucy WebbHlanton, present State Superintendent ofEducation, to Join him in Congress. Re-t'titlv I,. \v. i'arrish, who represented thatdistrict in Congress, lost his llfo in an an to-mobile accident and a special election batbeen ordered to fill the vacancy. Miss Hlan¬ton has announced her candidacy for boththe unexpired and the regular terms, andthe political wiseacres of the State arcpretty generally agreed that she will win aneasy victory for both terms. She has beentwice elected State Superintendent of Edu¬cation by overwhelming majorities and.Judging by her past popularity, these politi¬cal forecasters havo accurately read (hesigns of th" times.
So, Instead of Hlanton b.-i:ig driven out ofCongress by his fellows, fortune seems to!<e about to do him the splendid turn ofsending another member of the same familvii help him bid defiance to his enemiesWhen Lucy Webb Hlanton takes her seatby hi- side as the Congrosswoman from theThirteenth District of Texas, not even theCame Cock from the Rio Grande distrfct VVi!|have the temerity to point the finger ofv' orn at him.

Ah in His mission lie was broughtface to face with the giant forces in societythat lie bad to combat, the realization slow¬ly dawned upon Him that He must yield Him¬self up a martyr to the cause of truth.tothe cause that will ultimately triumphthrough the life and light Ho bequeathed tothe world as Its richest legacy in the strug¬gle ».> establish justice and equality In all theearth.The realisation that the Kacritlce was
necessary was a bitter draught, but uncom¬plainingly He drank it to the very dregs, invery truth Ho gave up His life that that lifemight In all the ages to come become "thelight of mon." .

"And ye will notcome to Me, that ye might have life." findsabundant illustration nineteen centuriesafter His martyrdom in the very heart of theinstitutions that exist in His name.Here is testimony from a contemporarywriter that reveals Jesus in His true char¬
acter: "The life of Jesus, ir carefully studl.-d.presents a perfect picture of simplicity. Hostood for the extreme of ev« rythlng that issimple. in habits, home, garments and de¬sires, He was more simple than even a nor¬mal child. The only glories or splendorsthat stand out in all the story of His doingand dying are those of the skies, the field,the hillsides and the sea. There are nopalaces, no high feasts, no pageants, no splen¬did robes, no triumphs in which music andflags play a part, it 1st all the simplest sortof everyday doing ami being, and wheneverHe spoke. It was in simple words. He urgedIlls followers to keep simple. "Except vebecome as little children.' was one of Hisprime injunctions."Jesus realized that the "palaces." tl,e"high feasts." and the "splendid robe*" were
enjoyed by the few at the expense of the toiland moll, the privation and suffering, the pour-ing out of tlie blood of the many.Yet despite this teaching and example of
simplicity, out of which comes the clearestperception of truth and duty, it does some¬times appear as if that portion of the worldwhich most loudly professes to follow Je.s'ushad determined to practice the very oppositewhat lie taught, simplicity is being setaside more and more, and the coming harvestis foreshadow.d in the rumblings of discon¬tent in tlie ranks of the overburdened mil¬lions? of toilers, who by fraud are robbed ofthe full rewards of their labor, that the fewmight live amid the splendors of a wantonpurposeless existence.The wider the departure from the spiritof His teachings on the part of those who areflatbed with power and influence in the ac¬tivities of this life, the sooner will come the

To the Editor of The Times-Dispatch:Sir,.(jcorgo \V. Kolner has in
bulletin 174 u paragraph entlllod"The Farmer and the Tariff." Thisappears to mis about as far awayfrom the true interests of farmersas it could get.A tariff on anything the farmer]
lias to export is absurd on the facoof it. A year hkq the Congress puta tariff of :t0 cents a bushel onwheat and in a week the prlco;dropped from Jl.fiU to $l.;tt>, and Kepton going down until it reached about$1. Canadian wheat was shut out ofthis country and forced to Dondon,where world demand for wheat Is ex¬pressed, and helped to depress themarket price.A tariff on hides don't help the
farmer. lie has an old cow die onhis h.iiids now and then, but thatamounts to very little. It is thei.acker that has hides by the mil¬lions, but it is tho rariner who paysthe hlk'li prices for shoes and leather.And to with wool. The tariff givesthe few farmers who have a fewsheep a few cents, but when he buyshis clothes, what has happened tohim? There Is a "tariff league" outin Wisconsin whose slogan !s "Forevery dollar the new tariff gives thefarmer it takes live away from him."The emergency tarilT was dope fur¬
nished by the manufacturers to p itthe farmers to sleep while they op¬erated on them. Farmers asking fortariffs means farmers Inviting manu¬facturers to exploit them.The farmers' true Interest lies 1
keeping the tarilT low on manufac¬tured articles to prevent manufac¬ture rs from robbing them.
If I may trespass a Utile further,1 will say that the farmer's otherproblem is to furnish cheap food tothe people at a fair profit to himself,bearing In mlml that this profit Is tolm protected from the gre< d of man¬ufacturers and retailers. I.ow tariffswill help to tlo this. At present thefarmer is furnishing high-pricedfood for the people tit a loss to him¬self, hut it is not the farmer thatmakes the price to the people. Thefarmer Is the only person on earththat does not fix the price of hisown property, lie does not even llxthe price to the middleman who buysdirectly from him; he has to takewhat they agree together to give.Now. to solve this problem ofcheap food at a fair profit it Is nec¬essary tov study carefully the basicfacts In Die problem furnished bythe Agricultural Department someyears ago Out of the consumer'sdollar paid for farm produce thofarmer nets S.'i per cent: transporta¬tion pets 7 per cent; the middlemangets .IS per cent.Here we have a cost of 5* centsIn the dollar to distribute, to handon >.\.-r the counter farm produce,and transportation Is not included,it Is up to the farmer to discoverIf distribution can be done for lossand still show a fair profit on dis¬tribution If he finds, f,,r instance,.hat it can be d"tie for IS cents,that would leave 40 cents, and If 20cents of this were added to thefarmer's 2." -it would make whichwould give the farmer a fair profit;and if the other 20 cents were takenoff the consumer's price It wouldgive much cheaper food to the peopleI here are two necessities ir. therase, a profit for the farmer andcheaper food for the people. A profiten distribution is desirable, but nota necessity, because If the farmerto'ik the whole problem of distri¬bution info his own hands withoutprofit or loss, ho would still have!his produce profit and the people)would have cheaper foo.l How l:«'he farmer to determine a fair costfor distribution? So far as I cansee, there js but one way.oxperi-ence. Follow his business to the)ities and open exchanges In thecities and have these city exchangesestablish a sufficient number of re¬tail audits to curb the retailers byletting the people know what Is afair price for food. These city ex- jchanges can use commission men andretailers, but they must be ther« totlx the price to the consumer basedcost. ;,!ul collect all funds andremit to county exchanges and alsoto prevent shipment of more thantheir mark et requires. In the ex¬port cities they will also sell directto foreigners. This wHl bring Intoplay the law of supply and demand.When foreign demand is high, priceswill rise; when low, prices will fall.The farmer ifj not liable to forgetthat he and the consumer are friends.That each is necessary to the other,that is, of the first Importance thatthey understand each other. Thefarmer who understands his best in¬terests will not Join Ihe manufactur¬
er in demanding high tariffs to ex¬ploit the consumer and raise the costof living, but will engage his fullpowtr to make food cheap, and de¬mand that things he has to buy withhis profits be both good and cheap.Public opinion and hacking is thefinest asset in the world, and thefarmer wants it.The vast majority of the peoplehave fixed Incomes, salaries, wages or
small profits, and they want to seetheir limited dollars able to buy acomfortable living. They will hailwith gladness an effort of the farm¬ers to help them.

Wants lloml Isxiir Killed,To the iCditor of Tho Times-Dispatch:
Sir:"And others' follies teach us not,Xor milch their wisdom teaches,
And most, of sterling worth. Is whatOur own experience preaches."The above lines come to mind as 1
consider the persistent influencesbeing exerted by selfish political andnewspaper interests to promote theproposition to Issue J12.000.000 Inbonds to build roads.The bond issue seems most popular
with newspapers published in a fewtowns and cities where a few citl7.cn?and editorial writers appear to thinkthe State highway system should heconstructed, principally, as a meansfavorable to swift automobile travelfrom one large town to another.Thus, they seek to enhance presentluxury at the expense of future gen¬era'. ions.The newspapers favor bonds be¬
cause, on the surface, it seems inaccord with progressive interests ofthe towns where llie papers are pub¬lished, anil because of these influ-en< es in the past Slate road fundshave been allotted to special inter¬ests in townshipii and with scantconsideration for rural communities.Some politicians favor bonds, in eva¬sive manner, principally because theysolicit newspaper Influence as an aidduring campaigns.
Hut. evidently, both the pre.»s andpoliticians realize that the great ma¬jority of the voters are opposed toa bond issue; consequently, the per¬sistent and prolonged effort of cer¬tain papers to overcome public sen¬timent, regardless of the fact thatour representatives in the Assemblyhave repeutcUly and truly avccdcd to

the will of the majority of the peo-l>le.During Ii!h campaign less ttian one
year ago 10. l<ee Trlnkle declaredhimself l«i lie "opposed to a bondi»sue, or any oilier Increase in taxesat this time." Apparently this state-uicnt was, at least, an exasperatingevasion of the point, a thinly veileddeception. In his Inaugural address,a few weeks later, we find GovernorTrinklc arguing v change of condl-tlons and advocating a 1-cent pergallon tax on gasoline, as an infer-I'turt' In favor of the bond Issue, andnow ho Iiiir expressed himself Infavor of the bonds. This Indleatesan Impossible vbunKO of mind In soshort a time. The writer has notnoticed tho change In conditions.Purine the cam pa I mi the people werenot vitally interested In what Mr.Trlnkle opposed at that time. liewas not Governor then and it mat¬tered little. What the voters wereentitled to know during the cam¬paign was, how Mr. Trlnkle wouldhandle the paramount issues underdiscussion when he became Governor.The bond Issue, under existing c!--cumsLances, involves and violates thefundamental philosophical principlesof sound business and safe govern¬ment. This. In relation to the im¬mediate past, should be a timo forreadjustment, not continuation ofwar-time emergency methods.During the emergency of threaten¬ing danger to our national libertythe Federal government was justi¬fied in issuing vast sums in I.lbert vand Victory bonds essentlnl to su«cessful conduct of the war. We andfuture generations must pay the in¬terest and principal on these bonds,and we and future generations alikewill enjoy peace and liberty as a
result of the heroic methods llu',such methods should be strictly re¬served for use in times of emergencyonly. Su«-h restraint Is necessar>to keep down our present tax andavoid unjust fax on future genera-t Ions.At this time our national attitude
Is Influenced by a sense of exultationdue to victory In war. but let « notbe deluded 'by the Idea that emer¬gency resources may be logically ap¬plied as peace-time policies. Wecannot Justly issue bonds under pres¬ent circumstances, because we can¬not build permanent or adequateroads, we cannot assume to predictthe practical needs of future gen¬erations. Future citizens must meettheir own problems of public Im¬provements according to future con¬ditions and we should not expertthem to pay debts for what theymight In their timo consider our fol¬lies.Methods of road construction thirty
years ago are not practical for pres.
flit trufllc. Conditions and circutn-stanccs aro constantly changing1.Thirty years hence will likely re¬quire different capacity and methodsof road construction. Then, too, therecent Investigation of the StateHighway lJepartment revealed apractice of very liielllclent manage-mcnt during the past. When thisdepartment Is reorganized to func¬tion hi a inoro effective manner, ashas beeu provided for In n hillpassed hjr the recent Assembly. thefunds available under present pro¬vision ought to bo sutliclent fornecessary road construction and re¬pair under existing conditions. Atleast, let us he sure that wo havepractical application of availablefunds and what the result will lit;before increasing the fund. Tl»eproposed tax of 1 cent per gallon ongasoline Is tax, and It Is Just thatmuch Increase In taxes. Such a re¬course to pay Interest and create asinking fund to liquidate the prin¬cipal on a 112,000.000 bond Issue Intoo impossible for serious considera¬tion.We have the wireless telegraph and
radiophone now; Iria few years wemay have wireless transmission ofpower; and what would he the effecton present methods of transporta¬tion? We have now and are build--lug more landing fields for aero¬planes. we may soon realize a revo¬lution in methods of travel. If weIssue bonds to build roads, the routesof present fancies may begin to un¬dergo transitory ohanircs In cir¬cumstances before the roads are Mu¬lshed. And In any case the presentconstruction of roads would be wornout anil the capacity become Inade¬quate Ionic before future generationswere through paying the debt.However, we shall not (tease rea¬
sonable efforts to build roads forpresent needs and In accord withpractical foresight because of prob¬able or possible future developments.Our efforts toward public improve¬ment should lie noverni'd by a prin¬ciple cf pay as we go. "Forward, notbackward'" yes, but lets proceed witha clear vision and reasonable re¬straint.
Virginia Is making admirableprogress as it Is; available roadfund-- ate mi flic lent for practical Im¬provements under the circumstances.Kill the bond Issue, tli. r" is no needto call a spe. jal session of the As¬sembly at this time, or at any tltnoIn the near future.
