should be collected from them. If they are not get
ting it, they know that, too.
If it is politics that keeps the government agents
from enforcing the law, we’ll bet they come out in
force after election, regardless which way it goes.
Moral: After t’.e November election, you better
have that government stamp on your windshield.

GOVERNMENT AUTOMOBILE STAMPS
A friend asked us why we bought the government
automobile stamp that went into effect July 1st and
cost $5.00?
We answered because it was the law. We are com
pelled to have them.
Our friend answered: Who compels you to have
them—who enforces the law? The city police can
not, the state police will not, and the sheriff has no
authority. Who is left to enforce this law? It’s pure
“class legislation" and only “saps” buy the stamps.
Well, we confessed to being one of the saps. But
after our conversation we began asking ourself, why
don’t the people, the owners of automobiles, buy the
st.nnps and why don’t the government compel them?
We have been told that in Kentucky, a federal
agent came into a section of the state and issued 3000
warrants for those who did not have the stamps. The
next Kentucky governor was a Republican, and since
then the law has not been enforced.
If this is a criterion, it certainly will not be en-
forced until after the November election, We were
told that when a car owner was given the citation to
appear before a commissioner or federal judge, the
’s a lot of sheckels for forget-
fine was $25.00. That

ting to buy the
dyed-in-the-wool Democrat would vote for a Repub
lican after he was fined $25 for not having the gov
ernment stamp. It would perhaps make us angry too.
But aside from all this, we can't understand why
the agents of the government don’t do something to
enforce the law. There are several million ears in
thi United States and $5 per car would help during
this emergency. We don’t know the percentage, but
our narrator said it wouldn’t be more than 50 per
cent of the people who purchased the stamps.
I’he government knows how many cars there are

when the individual should not ex-

requires many year? to liquidate.
Now is u good tune for farmers
to increase production for a year
nt a time or shorter periods by
intensive use of available re-
sources It is a time which calls
for caution concerning long-time
commitments, especially for pur*
chase of high-priced land, breed-
ing stock, or equipment.
During the period of high prices
the wise farmer will pay oil his
indebtedness and buy United
States Bonds
During the post-
war period there is likely to be a
depreciation in land, livestock, and
other farm values as well as re-
dueed prices received for agricul-
tural products. On the other h ind
the United States Government is
guarantying the value, with in-
tcrest, on the E Series of federal
Bonds
The dollar invested in
Bonds now when prices are high
will be returned with interest with-
out depreciation and ut a tin e
when the value of other commodi
ties may be low. The value or
purchasing power of the dollar in-
vested in Bonds will be greatly
increased when other prices are
reduced or when an adjustment is
made from a war to a peacetime
economy The farmer who is wise-
ly planning his war and post war
economic program will have funds
for use to Improve the farm and
the farm home during the post-
war period. Such improvements
might include the home, other
farm buildings, fences. Irrigation
and drainage facilities, and the
purchase of new equipment for the
home and the farm. The present
economic program for farmers
should be to produce to the limst.
get out of debt, buv government
Bonds, and make plans to improve
the home and the farm for satis-
factory living and for economic
production during the post-war pe-
riod.
