DOCTORS AND STATE STATISTICS.

Iowa's first report on vital stat1stlcs
will show an appalling state OF al
fairs. According to DR.. Kennedy OF
the Iowa health board, the report Will
show more deaths than births during
the wear of which it is assumed t? be
statistical report.
If the report is Of the character Civ
en- it by DIR. Kennedy it is pity that
1t cannot be suppressed for its evil
dent worthlessness and as libel on
the productivity of Iowa. Every one
with either eyes and ears knows that
the town and country is full of chill
dren. and that Iowa is far from being
remiss in her duty to the census bur
eau, For the state to issue such a
report is ridiculous.
1t appears that the doctors, not the
people, are to be blamed. Many phys
icians neglected and some have refus-
ed to report births and deaths as re-
CURED by law. Deaths have been more
generally reported, births have been
neglected. The obvious dereliction of
the doctors is responsible for the fig
ures that seem to show a decadence
instead OF a healthy growth in the
population of the state.
The state should take steps to bring
the recalcitrant doctors to time.
Proper penalties promptly placed upon
failure would very likely have a good
effect on the next report. The bust
mess of the physicians makes them
logically the cleaners of vital statistics
The state which protects them against
unqualified practitioners has perfect
right to require such service and the
doctors should submit gracefully lest a
worse thing happen. To send out re-
port so utterly at variance with true
conditions based upon the reports OF
practitioners is a disgrace to the medi-
cal fraternity of the state.

BEEF PRICES AND PRODUCTION.

5.s Hon. l.. H. kerrick, noted cattle
ident of the Aberdeen Angus Breed
ers' Association, in expressing his
views on the future of the beef pro-
ducing industry summed UP with this
remark: Either the American peo-
+ pie will eat less beef or pay higher
prices for cattle"
Anyone giving the subject little
thought can readily see that the profit
able production of beef calls for high
the days of cheap corn. Also that
while the American farmer is perhaps
/. as persevering as his fellow citizens
engaged in other occupations, he will
before many years, give up trying to
produce an article that he must dis
pose of at a loss.
It is believed by some that success
sion of good crop years would bring a
return of twenty or twenty-five cent
cattle conditions. This is very unlike
ly, however, for all over the corn belt
landowners have awakened to the fact
that a more systematic rotation of
crops is necessary to keep corn land
in condition to produce big crops This,
: Mr. Kerrick reasons, must restrict the
acreage of corn. Mr.. Kerrick, however,
fails to note that it will also increase
vastly the yield per acre.
He figures that for the last six years
we have had an average price of 43
cents for corn. With any reduction of
the corn area, even tho the work of
improving corn may result in larger
yields, it is not reasonable to expect
corn at creaper price than 40 cents
The uses of corn are constantly in
ereasing and increasing yields will be
demanded to meet this increased con-
sumption. If prices are not to go high
er for beeves Mr.. Kerrick predicts that

the cattle feeder will stop operations
until the price goes higher.
But where will the farmer turn from
beef production? Possibly to dairying,
u source of income too much neglected
in the corn belt. But one bad dairy
year in which beef production brought
Il good profit will bring the majority
back to the feed yard again. The ten
dency of farmers to follow each other
is irresistible.
Every old farmer may recall a doz-

did thoroughbreds sold at the price of
scrubs because every one was getting
times wien scrubs sold for thorough
bred prices because every one was
getting back in again. Times when
good horses were refused a bid at pub
lie sales and other times when the ring
fought over a spawned mare with a
colt by her side.
Competition is likely to keep beef
prices close to the cost of production
but Mr.. kerrick is right regarding the
cost of production. Beef is going to
cost more. The cheap beef of the
ranges is rapidly passing and the beef
Of the blue grass pastures will cost
more and sell for more. But so long
as corn grows and the stocker and
feeder market lives, we will have our
wild periods of cattle feeding and the
other periods Of depression that fol-
low. There will be no organized move
ment away from beef production.

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW

It would seem that now we have in
this country three distinct codes of
honor. First, the political, then the
Wall street, and finally the universally
accepted business code for commercial
transactions. 1t has long been known
and understood that in politics, the
cardinal virtues are quiescent, in OPP
erative and not recognized. In the
late campaign, the democratic candi-
date for president publicly accused his
opponent of species of blackmail and
then on the night of election sent him
telegram of congratulations, the in
evitable logic being the end justified
the means, and said democratic cam
didate evidently. thought the country
would be we'll governed by a black
mailer. Another form of political eth
les, moderniZed up to date, is when as
clean man as Roosevelt appoints to
a consulship man whose business
record is very unsavory, this judged
by the business code. But at the re-
quest of some one or more of state
delegation whose own political rec
ord is not much better, the president
is forced by the usages and rules of
the "game politics" to send such a
man abroad to represent this country
in many business transactions, where
in strict integrity should be the all i'm
portant requisite.
In Everybody's Magazine for April
Lawson in his Frenzied Finance ar
ticles plainly states Wall street. i. e.,
the system, has an unwritten code that
permits lying, deception, robbery and
abuse of business friendship if there is
such a thing. Not only does Lawson
calm that Rogers and many other
prominent financiers carry on their
Wall street transactions in this out
rageous way, but admits that he is no
better nor worse than his associates.
Even justifies his action in one big
deal by saying his antagonists in the
deal would have acted as he did.
If the public will read these articles
not altogether with view to his ex-
pose of the system, but also to his adj
missions of his. own part in bribing
legislators and judges as well as his

In this line of reasoning, one is

teal with that of Wall street, code
of ethics that enables them, calmly,
