Russian Houses Unite on Famine Bill.

The council OF the empires acceptance
without amendment on Saturday of par
liament's bill appropriating s7,50O,00O for
famine relief came a. surprise at St
Petersburg, but has occasioned the great
est jubilation In the camp Of the lower
house. an It IL regarded as a vote OF lack
OF confidence In the Goremykin ministry on
the part OF the upper chamber. While
many In the council OF the empire really
favored the adoption OF the cabinets recon-
mendatfons. they recognized that It would
be q fatal mistake for the council to an
tag0nize the lower house in the present
Crisis. Moreover, those on the inside who
were aware that the negotiations between
the government and the constitutional DEM
ocrats were entering ti1e final stage natu-
urally were influenced by the coming
changes.

LONDON, June 81, 1905.
The income tax returns of Great Britain
and Ireland for 1906 show that 10 individ-
uals, 113 firms and 794 corporations report
incomes of more than quarter of mil
lion dollars. or those reporting incomes
between 100000 and $4,000 there were 219
individuals, 1042 firms and $50 corpora
tons. Evidently the country is growing
In wealth. IL the gross incomes reported for
1905 be compared with those OF 1895. Ten
years ago the total gross incomes OF all
classes amounted to s357. O97, OFT; last year
the total incomes reported were f9C2 75S, $50.
OF this total f2S7. IN. 212 was exempt from
taxation for various reasons; f50,540.3I2 by
people who had less than the limit OF $500,
where the tax begins. and the balance for
other exemptions made under the law. It
is interesting to know that 100000 and
q little more was exempt because 1t was
given to charities. hospitals and benevolent
societies and more than forty million dol
lars because 1t was paid as premiums on
life insurance policies.
Individual wealth in Great Britain can
be more easily ascertained than in the
United States, because the returns or It's
citizens for taxation are believed to be
approximately accurate The people are
used to paying taxes on their incomes
Long years of experience have made them
accustomed to it, and rule they make
honest returns and pay promptly. The
present tax Is very large, one shilling for
every pound upon incomes which exceed
$500 In our money.
The total revenue in England and Wales
last year from the income tax was f2S.937,-
073, or about $145. 100000 in our money;
from Ireland, Ell. 136,O95 from Scotland.

source for all Great Britain G31. GOT 1925.
This tax Is paid by 370.372 persons. firms
and corporations. who report gross aggre-
gate income for 1905 of fS6 0T9, 239. less law
full exemptions. which is equivalent to about
$43O, 900 in our money. The total Is d.

returns that there are about TOO millionaires
in Great Britain. there are only six or seven
in ireland and eight or nine in Scotland.
The richest man in England Is the Duke
of Westminster. whose wealth Is meas
ured at s200O00OO0. Several South African
diamond kings are supposed to be worth a
great deal more. but they pay taxes both
here and in the Transvaal. and their wealth
is almost entirely invested in stocks and
bonds Lord Iveagh is credited with hum
bred millions. the dukes of Devonshtre.
Buccleuch. Derby and Bedford and the Mar
quis Of Butte are supposed to have from
$50 900 coo upward: the Duke OF Suther-
land. the MARQUIS of Cadagon. the Duke
Of Northumberland. S45.O00,000 each; Lord
Armstrong. Lord Masham, Lord Brassey,
the Duke Of Norfolk. the Duke of Portland.
the Baroness Burdett-Coutts and several
others. sos. 100000 each. but there are a
much larger number of very rich men in
the United States than in England.
Respect for the Law.
There is. of course, a popular impression
that millionaires over here do not pay their
share of the taxes. and the salaried citizen
whose income may be known exactly by
the assessors and who Is, therefore, COM
PEELED to pay his full share, Is always MAX
ing complaint concerning the tax dodger.
Human nature Is the same the world over,
and If you will compare the personal tax
returns In England and those Of other
countries they will doubtless be quite as
accurate and quite as honest. probably more
so, than the lists that were recently pub
liShed in the Chicago papers showing the
amounts upon which the rich men Of that
city were taxed. I do not mean to say
that the people of England are any more
honest than the people OF Chicago, or the
United States. but any one familiar with
affairs over here will agree with me that
they have greter respect for the law and
for civil authority. A policeman In Eng
land Is always obeyed: the cases OF resist5
ance are exceedingly rare, for, although he
may be guilty OF an injustice or his judy
ment may be defective, the average citi-
zen regards him. or rather the authority
he represents with respect and reverence
and Obeys his commands.
The same Is true in the courts. There u
greater confidence in judicial decisions In
Great Britain than there Is with US. The
number Of appeals from the judgments OF a
lower court Is comparatively small, both In
civil and In criminal cases. and 1t Is not
shysters at the British bar and justice is
often trified with the average lawyer in
criminal cases Is not working entirely to
secure the acQuittal of his client but to
protect him from injustice. Criminal codes
and practice are regulated for the purpose
Of protecting the Innocent and puntshing
the guilty. II Is sometimes possible for
rascal to escape punishment through
technicality. but such cases are extremely
rare and justice Is quite as swift az sure In
the British courts. You never hear Of the
defendant In criminal case stavinH on the
penalty for his crime year after year In
England, as Is 30 frequent In the United
States.

Complaints Of Evasion.

This same respect for law and Justice and
right finds Its expression In tax returns as
well as tn obedience to other laws, but at
the same time, as / have said. there Il
always complaint here az elsewhere that
corporations and individuals are evading
taxation. The matter Ii now before pariia-
menf and committee Of the house OF
commons IL making an Investigation for
the purpose Of devisine rome means by
which such thinss can be prevented. Mr.
A. L. Bowley OF the faculty OF the London
School Of Economics. who has given the
subject years of study. was called N an
expert the other day. and he presented !
statement In which he endeavored to show
that the income tax returns were not trust
worthy. According to his estimates drawn
from various sources Of information and
study of conditions for several years. there
are at least So 80 persona IN Great Britain

Think Wheat will go Highor.

The commission house of II. II.
Carr & Co., of Chicago has the fol-
lowing to say IN regard to prospective
wheat prices in their last trade letter:
Wheat CANNOT go through the WIN
ter season, much less the balance of
the year to another harvest at pre-
sent low prices for many good rea-
sons.
Argentina is lowering her estimate
on harvest which is about to COM
mence. Manitoba, which supplies
English buyers first of all is, market
ing million bushels a week less than -
one year ago at this time. Our
spring wheat country for the present
week supplied 2,2OO cars less receipts
at Minneapolis and Duluth than for
the same week of 1905. The total
western movement of wheat one year
ago was nearly 1,500, 600 and receipts
today were trife over 10000 bus
hels. Winter weather Northwest has
stopped threshing and wheat not
threshed will be greatly damaged
before spring. Northwest mills have
this week become active buyers of
Nebraska wheat, because much Of
the wheat bought at Kansas City
has reached the Northern mark ct.
unfit for milling. Exporting countries,
are supplying Europe with 5000, 900
bushels week less than at this time
last year. These influences are GER.
tain to count for higher prices in
this market in the next 30 or 60
days. The law of supply and demand
will be the force under the market
when present tactics of elevator
people to force liquidation of Decem-
ber holders are at an end. From a
speculative standpoint would say,
buy May wheat at 78 and if it should
settle back 10 II, buy more.

Sulphate CT Copper (blue stone) is
the pest typhoid disinfectant. is
cheap, and can be procured every
where. Dissolve one pound in two
and half gallons Zone paiD of water.
Keep pint of this in the vessel for
discharges from both bowels and
bladder. Stir thoroughly for a few
minutes and the germs will be dis
troyed. Stool and urine should never
be thrown out on the ground. If no
system Of drainage is at hand, they
should, after being thoroughly disin-
fected, be thrown into hole in the
ground and covered with earth.
Germs if not killed by disinfection
will live long time in soil. This
method of disinfection should be con-
tinued for month or six weeks after
recovery. Germs have been found
in discharges as late as two months
after recovery. Do not allow any
discharge from bowels or bladder to
be disposed Of except in this manner.
Damp and unclean easements and
yards and unclean premises and sur
roundings weaken the health so
that typhoid is more readily con-
tracted and is more severe. There
fore: Clean up and get rid of all re-
fuse and filth. Open up drains and
make sewers connections tight. Fresh
burned lime will keep damp base
ments and yards dry. 1t should be
used freely in such places, especially
after the sewers have "backed up"
and catch basins have overflowed.
Cleanliness is not only next to

Many think we cannot grow corn
Ihls year had one acre of North
western Dent that yielded "A bu. of
good hard corn. Others think we
can't grow clover, but we are grow
ing tine crops Of it around Erskine.
we can grow everything that is
needed to make COW produce milk
but the question is, what is the best
feed to grow? What is cows ideal
ratlon? Different people have differ
ent ideas. l have mine and others
have theirs. Some say a cow must
have protein by oil meal, gluten
meal or bran, and to make up a ra-
tlon without any of these food
stuffs, man is liable to get stuck,
but when nature feeds the COWS for
US 1T does not matter what the
chemical analysis of the green food
is, the COW will fill the pail, her
hair is getting slick, her eyes bright,
and If it is the green food that does
it, then let US feed succulent feed
IN winter, and here comes silage,
roots, barley, oats and clover hay.
Let US make up a ration for a good
COW who is giving 25 lbs. of per
cent milk. Let US try:
80 lbs. corn silage
II lbs roots
S lbs barley
3 lbs oats ground
10 lbs clover hay
63 lbs total
Figuring the cost of this ration
we will call the silage worth sl.5O
per ton, roots $l.50, clover hay
$500, barley and oats 75c per cwt,
and the one days ration will come
to 1919 cents. Feed it to good
COW and it will keep her in a fine
condition and you will get per cent
OF butter fat worth 25c in winter and
20 per cent skim milk worth 5 cents,
total 30 cents. The COW is getting a
good meal, but the feeder is getting
more. Suppose we feed up S1O5
worth of this kind of feed stuff to
good common COWS, they will give US
$500 worth of milk for it. Let US
grow clover, corn, barley and oats
and mix little wheat in the oats
and next fall we will come here to
our annual convention and ex-
change ideas and learn from each
other, have done things wherein (
have succeeded better than some
others. Others have solved problems
that are puzzIing me. Let US come
together and learn from each other.

Saltwater regarding Hurlbut and

against him was brought about by
spite work and was false.
Warden Wolfer wired Chief Eek

MIR. ZWickey's Lecture on Fine
ART

The lecture on fine art by J.
Lorenzo zwickey at the opera house
on Monday evening was one of the
most entertaining thus far given in
the lecture course. From start to
finish, Mr. Zwickey held the close
attention of the large audience by
his interesting talk on art and rapid
crayon sketching. He drew as he
talked and talked as he drew, and
thus kept occupied at the same time
the eyes and ears of every person
present. The value Of fine art in
developing the esthetic side of our
nature was prominently held forth,
and he urged all to cultivate those
elements of life which build up the
spiritual part of our being. There is
beauty all around US if only the eye
and mind are trained to see. We
live in materialistic age and
people think mostly about accummu-
lating wealth. He told the story
about the farmer who had no higher
conception of life than to raise corn
and sell hogs. Beauty bv ornamen-
tation he said was not the proper
thing. The ladies were given some
pointers in regard to millinery, and
among other things he said that
fruit, flowers or feathers ought not
to be worn in their hats. How to
be able to tell true art from COM
mercialism as presented in the fash
ion magazines was not an easy task.
Mr.. Zwickey certainly is an artist Of
merit and also philosopher, and the
suggestions and illustrations which
he gave ought to make US all more
appreciaUive Of the truly beautiful.
