One-fifth of that sum is seven hundred and fifty-six dollars and sixty cents as the income to you per year.

We have, in this district, twenty-five hundred farmers according to the latest reports of the Bureau of Statistics, and dividing seven hundred and fifty-six dollars and sixty cents by twenty-five hundred, we find that each farmer receives an average of thirty and one-quarter cents per year for allowing his fences and buildings to be smothered in lurid advertising signs.

So we find that the money received by the farmers from the advertising amounts to about one-quarter of one per cent of their income, a matter so insignificant that it cannot affect them materially, one way or another.
"But, Mr.Hopkins states that you give nothing in return for this one-quarter of one per cent, while I claim you pay tremendously for it.
For you sacrifice the privacy of your homes and lands, and lend yourselves to the selfish desire of advertisers to use your property to promote their sales.

You have been given an example of clean barns and fences, and I cannot tell you how proud I am of this district when I ride through it and see neatly painted barns and fences replacing the flaring and obtrusive advertising signs that formerly disfigured the highways.

Why should you paint advertising signs upon your barns any more than upon your houses?
Carry the thing a step farther, and you may as well paint signs upon your children's dresses, in the manner you see illustrated before you." At this, Louise made a signal and the fifty children so grotesquely covered with signs rose and stepped forward upon the stage.
