Two stories fresh from Europe

show that tho nations of Europe

stories shows where publicity would

which they own the entire stock.
OF COURSE stocks were sold in the
railway and electrical plants to pay
tho promoters indirectly through
the returnes ON their manufacture
ing holdings, and everything was
bright for tho schemers so long az
the game. could be kept in progress.
But when the enterprises that were
set on foot for secondary purpose
began to fail, there was trouble in
manufacturing lines that had boon
over stimulated. -.

PACIFIC CABLE NOW CERTAIN.

Altho the British succeeded in get
Pacific cable from the American shore,
there is now a prospect or rather GER
tainty that a cable line to China and
to our Philippine possessions will soon
be laid. 1t will be built by private
corporation, the Commercial Pacific
Gable Company, but will be operated
in time of peace under regulations de-
manded by President Roosevelt, and be
subject to control by the United States
for awhile in way to indicate that the
requirements of the president We're OBJ

posed to one provision, regarded by our
government as the most important of

agreed that this provision should be re-

which might exist as to its terms it not
being the desire of the administration
to prevent the company from making

ACCOUNTING FOR The MONEY,

observation and knowledge win over
turn or be more effective as a solution
Of perplexing problem than a ton of
theoretical explanation by learned
economists. This is illustrated so fire.
quently in every path of life that 1t
need only be suggested to be accented.
Why should there be money strin-
gency at certain points when il is a fact
that there never was a period when
money was so plentiful? Here is new
theory which Morris Biebelneimer, a
prominent banker, of Cleveland, has
evolved. 1T is not strange" said he re-

PUBLISHED DAILY BY THE
,INEs-REpUBLIcAN PRINTING o.
ALLlsoA,s TARlFF REVISION PLAN.

Senator Allison's views on tariff re-
vision will command the attention of
the entire country, because of his high
standing and long experience. He rec
cgnizes the fact that there is certain
demand for notifications of the tariff,
particularly from small manufacturers
and from business men who are af-
fected by high prices of commodities
which they must have. He believes the
short session of congress would not af-
ford time for revision. In taking up the
work he would not delegate it to a nom
partisan commission, but would place
this duty on the republican majority by
who will be in the new-congress. with
three members of the senate, to take
up this work in vacation. This COM
mittee could nor complete the work of
planning desirable changes in the
schedules in time for an extra session
in March or April, but If ii were deemed
wise thlnS, on the basis OF the report OF
these revisionists, the president might
call an extra session in September or
October and dispose of the matter. This
would give an abundance of time to
have the revision of the tariff out Of the
way some time before the opening OF
the next presidential campaign, so that
the effect could be studied by the peo-
PIE and there would be time enough to
demonstrate the wisdom of the action.
This is a very practical and feasible
method of meeting the demand for re-,
vision and even one that ought to en-
list the support Of those Iowans who
have been laboring under the delusion
that tariff revisionists were free trad
ars,
