is that the existing law shall be so
amended as to give the commission
power. after formal hearing of all par
ties, not only to condemn an unreason-
able rate, but also to fix what 1T shall
consider a reasonable one, and he
would have the new rate go into eff
feet at once and stay in effect unless
courts. at the instance OF the railroads,
shall condemn it as confiscatory The
interstate commerce commission, UNI
der the amended law far from having
"absolute power" over all rates, would
have only a qualified power over some
rates. 1t would have no power at all
over any rates except those regarding
which formal complaint was made by
shippers. and its exercise of its power
over them would always be subject to
the approval of the courts
The Cedar Falls paper copies this
paragraph and says that if this is true
then there need be no controversy over
the question at issue because the inter-
state commission had the very power
that it claims the country demands for
wears after the law giving it an eX
istance was passed.
But the Record finds that all this
is wrong eff the speeches being made
over the country are to be relied upon"
And there's the explanation of the
misunderstanding prevalent in so many
quarters. If. Instead of accepting the
terms of the measure itself in their
common meaning, we are to rely upon
speeches made over the country by
Beck, Davenport and others in the en-
ploy of the railroads, who appear to
have no other purpose than to confuse
and msrepresent the matter, we are
very apt to lose ITS true significance.

No Favoritism Shown.

A careful study of the figures of the
state board of equalization shows that
the board raised the valuation in the
state about So, 900 900 and made reduc-
tions equaling 81 200, 600. the total per-
centage of increase being three per cent
on the valuation, $62, 100000. The rail-
roads, however, were raised more than
per cent and the telephone lines near
ly 10 per cent. In a comparison for the
sake of making political capital out of
the action of the board. asserting that
there was gross favoritism for the big
corporations, the whole argument seems
to fall to the ground for lack of confirm
alton. The railroads were raised more
than double the general average and
they are assessed today higher than at
any time in the history of the state OF

A Sad Death.

n OdO ASdtAs
Inst Monday morning news was !
flashed oyer the wires from Ogden to
relatives in Paris. that William Col
lings, son of James Ceilings, had died !
that morning in the hospital.
William was student at the B. Y
college at Logan, when he was taken i'll.
The doctors there thought his sickness
appendicitis, and accordingly sent him
to Ogden to be operated upon. But
after careful diagnosis and a wait of
some hours the doctors there concluded
that the trouble was not appendicitis
and therefor would wait a few days.
Several days passed; finally it was de-
cided to perform an operation. which
was done last Sunday. The young man
rallied alright after the operation. but
later in the day began to sink and died
the next morning. His parents were
with him almost from the first. They
accompanied the corpse home to Paris,
arriving there Tuesday noon. 1t was
found that the cause of the illness was
abcess of the liver.
He is mourned by father, mother, five
sisters and four brothers.
If he had lived until May 9Th, 1906,
he would have been % years old.
The funeral was held in the First
Ward Hall Wednesday at 2 p. M, Bp.
Humphreys presiding. Consoling words
to the bereaved ones, and beautiful
tributes to the noble character and the
high esteem in which William was held
by all who knew him, were made by
Pres Bulge, VIM. Rich, Bp. Humphrey
and Jos. X. Shepherd. The stake choir
rendered several appropriate selections

This was one of the largest funeral
ever held in Paris. Nothing but goo
can be said of William. "But to kno'
him was to love him." No one coul
be melancholy in his presence, for b
spread sunshine and happiness whereyt
he went His every feature portraye
that humble, honest, truthful, mob

by all, he has left this mortal sphe

THE current expenses of the govern
ment will increase during the next two
years, and in view of the decided demand
FOR public improvements, there will be
many extra expenses, SO that the only
way to remove the deficit is to increase
the revenue. There are numerous OBJ
sections to doing this by internal rev.
enue, and the attention of members Of
the senate Committee on Finance and of
the Ways and Means committee turned
to coffee and tea as taxable possibilities.
Certain suggestions made to the Ways
and Means committee during the hear
ings on the Curtis bill to reduce the du-
ties on Philippine tobacco and sugar
afford what many believe will be an
effective answer to any charge of taxing
the poor. This suggestion was that, in
stead of encouraging the Philippines to
compete with American sugar and to-
bacco interests by giving them free entry
to our markets, they should be encour-
aged to produce sub-tropical products,
which can never be raised in the United
States, and which are now imported in
large quantities from sub-tropical coun-
tries that take very little from US in re-
turn Rubber, spices and fibres we're
mentioned, but especially coffee, of
which this country imports immense
quantities. All of these articles, it was
represented, could be produced in our
own possessions, Porto Rico and the
Philippines.

In AN address to the friends of the
public schools, signed by Gov. Hoard
and other prominent men of the state,
the election of Albert Salisbury as state
superintendent is strongly urged. which
says: There is need OF a superlnten-
dent of force, ability and vital interest
IN the problem of the rural schools; for
these schools are the seminary in which
the farm boys and girls of our state must
get their educational start In life. Such
a man as the occasion demands is now
standing as non partisan candidate for
this important Office in the person of
President Albert Salisbury of the White
water Normal school. He is a man of
ability energy, and wide experience. He
was reared on the farm and has been a
pupil and teacher in country schools.
But, what is more to the purpose, he has
shown himself, for years past, to be
deeply interested in the subject of rural
education, of the right and profitable
in the country. He was one Of the first
in the state to advocate the teaching of
the Elements of Agriculture in country
9ng schools for teachers and schools of
agriculture. ne Is .nOC al luorC, mega
tive man; but positive and enterprising,
and he is at the same time practical
mar, safe and conservative in the selec-
ton Of means. With you we are glad
that the time has come when all party
politics or partisan consideration is -di-
vorced from the question of state super
intendent of schools. We are all free to
choose the man we think will mean the
most for the practical education of the
youth of our state"

AT THE recent meeting of the legisla-
was considered providing a permanent
income for the University Of Wisconsin.
President Van Hise on behalf of the
University explained the reasons why
the University detired permanent in
come which will provide adequate sup
port for the institution. The University
bill, he showed, while providing for an
Sncrease in the income of the University,
made necessary by the rapid growth in
attendance, does not increase the bur
dea of taxation; for the income increases
only as the wealth of the state grows.
The bill provides that two-fifths of a
mill be set aside from the amount col
lected on the taxable property of the
state each year for the maintenance OF
the University He also emphasized the
fact that in the present condition of the
general fund of the state, it will not be
necessary to have this two Gfths mill as
sessment, as the bill provides for the
two-fifths of mill only in case there are
not sufficient moneys in the general
fund of the state to provide for the Uni
yersity Thus, if the amount in the gen
eral fund is sufficient to cover the APP
preparation, as the indications are that
it will be, no assessment will have to be
made for the University support. If, fol
any reason, the general fund at some
time were not sufficiently large to pro
vide for the entire income of the Univer
sity, it would be necessary to make onl,
so much of an assessment as would bt
required to bring up the income to the
amount provided by the bill The meth
cd of support which the bill proposes
President Van Hise explained, would
provide an adequate income both for thu
maintenance Of the University and fo
the construction of buildings made nee
essary by the growth and development
of the Institutions

on the wringer board, press another
button, and, presto, the clothes need
only be shaken cut and are ready for
drying. She does not have to chop
meat by hand Or strain her shoulder
muscles mixing bread. All these and
many other things which require pow
er, and for which the use Of machinery
Is possible, are performed by mechani-
cal means, just as the wood Is cut up
by a band saw driven by electricity in
the barn, and the feed chopped, the
corn husked, the water pumped, the
grindstone driven. and so forth.
These things are common, everyday
features of farm life now along the
lines Of the interurban trolleys which
agree to furnish power for such pur
poses and few decline when PROPOSE
tons toward the end are made, for it
furnishes a substantial means of rev
enue to the companies; but some farm
ers have gone beyond the application
Of power to stationary machinery and
are obviating the need Of horses on the
farm by working their plows, harvest
ers, cultivators, harrows and all that
sort of thing by electric motors. How
one farmer did this in Ohio is an in
teresting example of adaptation Of
modern appliances. This farmer was
already operating every piece Of ma
chinery that he could about his farm
by electricity, but horses were still
used for blowing and harvesting. The
upkeep of these represented a consid-
cradle item, whereas the three horse
power motor in his barn, which did the
work Of five men, had never cost him
more than ST a month, and frequently
much less. The difference appealed to
bis economical soul, but at that time
no electrical plows or harvesters were
on the market; their use was deemed,
even by electrical supply companies,
part Of the millennium we are prom
Used, but which is not on the cards Of
the present Accordingly the farmer
became a student Of electrical applica-
ton and methods of power If the
electric supply companies couldn't help
him he proposed to help himself. Dur
ing the winter he had a small motor
placed on q low-bOdied wagon, not
very much dissimilar to the truck Of a

street car, with a trolley pole attached.
Then he had posts erected at suitable
intervals along two sides Of the fields
in which he intended to use his electric
motor plow and along these was strung
a stout steel wire rope.
Now he was ready for the unique
feature of his plan. Two uninsulated
copper wires were suspended between
the two lines Of the steel rope, one the
feed and the other the return, and at
tached to them on a pulley arrange
ment, so that they could be moved
easily along the field, while at one end
they were connected with. a heavily
insulated cable, which carried the cur
rent from the main feed wire to the
field wire. The field wire was support
ed on poles with forked glass tops,
modelled somewhat after the clothes
pole idea, which could be removed
when the motor plow reached any Of
them, and placed back of it, thus en-
aiding the motor to be driven at will
while the wire carrying the current
was always kept at a fair distance
above the field. The pillow was fas-
tened to the front Of the motor car
and both were operated from the seat
on the motor box. It sounds cumbrous
to describe, but the farmer used the
method successfully for blowing, har-
rowing and harvesting, did all In less
time than 1t could have been done with
horses and at one-third the direct OK
pense to say nothing of greater
quantity Of crops for the market
Other farmers use storage battery
cars for such purposes, but, after ALL
their use is comparatively restricted,

with the application Of electrical pow
er to stationary machinery and the

Stacking Alfalfa.

Throughout the western half Of the
United States alfalfa hay Is commonly
stored In stacks in the field. Alfalfa
stacks will not shed water as readily
as stacks Of grass hay. In the arid re-
gions there is little danger from rains
during the season Of storage, but in
humid climates it Is necessary to store
the hay IN barns or else cover the
stacks with large tarpaulins, Or they
may be topped with grass. Otherwise
the percentage Of waste is very large,
In any case there is likely to be some
waste, for which reason the stacks are
made large, thus reducing the proper
tomato amount Of waste. In the al
faifa regions Of the West the stacks
are as high as the hay can be handled
easily and may be 200 feet or more In
length. The size Of the stacks Is then
limited chiefly by the convenience In
bringing the hay from the surround
ing field
