"Uncle Beeslpax Can + Afford 1t.

SO you can't afford to pay dollar or so per
year as dues to the Farmers Union, eh?
Poor old Uncle Beeswax! I'm sorry for
you.
Yet when I~see the lavish hand with which
you have been throwing your cash around,
marvel at your impudence in saying that you
don't join the Farmers Union "becaze can't
afford it."
Why Uncle Beeswax, what do you mean.
anyhow? Are you Joking, or are you just in
fun?
Why man alive, never saw anybody so
free with his money as you are!
The world never saw such a reckless spend
er of money as you are. Who pays our Nation
al Taxes?
You do, Uncle Beeswax. The manufactur-
ers pay none, the billon-dollar Insurance COM
panies pay none, the National Banks paw
practically none the Express Companies pay
none, the Railway corporations pay none, the
colossal industrial Trusts pay none.
Who then pays Our National taxes?
The bulk of them are paid by your Uncle
Beeswax!
The Protected Interests have unloaded their
taxes and troubles upon you, Uncle Beeswax,
Yours is about the only industry not specially
favored by law, old man.
The army, the navy, the Internal Improve
ments, the Pension Roll, the Salary Account,
the Postal Defcit-it all rests npon your
broad, unprotected shoulders, old hoss
The Billion Dollar Congress of Mckinley
got its billion mostly from you, Uncle Bees
wax.
The Two Billion Dollar Congress of Roose-
welt will get it's two billions mostly from you.
Don't squirm, Uncle Beeswax! Face the mu-
sic-the facts.
You are the patient pack mule of the Amer
lean Government, and everybody knows it but
you
Not able to afford to join the Farmers I'm
ion?
Why, you're laughing at me, Uncle Bees
wax. You can afford anything.
You funny old creaturel Didn't you give
evenly million dollars to Spain for the Philip
pines and haven't you spent a thousand
million dollars there since? Don't you pro-
pose to spend many another thousand million
dollars IN those pestilential holes?
Are you not going to give Tom Ryan six
million dollars for every one hundred million
which that eminently respectable Wall Street
ditch?
Weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-03-07


Yet Senator Adrich has reported from the
Finance Committee of the Senate resolution
which proposes to have the National Banks
take charge of Our Custom House Receipts,
and use these public funds free of interest,
in their private business!
The Government is to throw off any pre-
tense of disguise, and to admit the bald fact
that it is taxing the money out of the pock-
cts of the people into the Golfers Of few Pet
Banks!
In effect, the Secretary of the Treasury has
long been acting upon that principle. To the
extent of $I5o,ooo,ooo few National Banks
have been keeping for year, Our public
funds, free of interest.
But the Aldrich plan goes long step fur
ther.
The Custom Houses take in about one mil
lion per day, and the proposition is to have
the Collector pour this vast sum into the Ma
tional Banks!
One would have supposed that such an in
fan. is proposition would have raised storm
in the Senate-but it didn't
1t was taken as quite an ordinary PROPOSE
tion.
Again, consider that matter of paying the
Railroads $48ooo,ooo for carrying the mails
All the world knows that this sum is exor-
bitant pay for the service For thirty years
attempts have been made to stop the robbery
This year, the Senate Committee cut out
$I2,oooooo of appropriation and thus brought
the sum down that much nearer to what is
right.
But the Railroads united against the reduc-
ton, put lobbyists to work and in due time
little amendment was slipped in which gave
the railroads just what they wanted.
Consider also Senator LaFollette's bill to
prevent the railroads from working engineers
and other employees more than 16 hours con-
secutively.
Surely, if ever there was cause for such
law we can produce it. Almost every week
we are Mortified by some railroad tragedy,
traceable, in part, to overworked men.
But the railroads don't want to be hindered
in their use of an engineer for AZ hours on a
stretch and the word was quietly passed along
These dutiful gentlemen did what was want
ed and LaFollette's bill has been amended
out of its purpose
So you see, you elect your man to Congress,
and YOU shout exultantly over your glorious
victory-but when the pinch comes the Pro-
Weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-03-07

Every member of the House and Senate
would gladly do something for you if
he could. I know this is so because he says
SO himself
Perhaps you will some day catch on to the

not prove that he did something for you or
made a manful effort so to do.

Editorial Notes.

L0IOT10L JVOTeS.
If the members of Congress from the South
and West can not head off those ship subsidy
thieves who are trying to steal from the Treas
ury nearly six million dollars per year, they
ought to be ashamed to come home.
The ships which will get the subsidy be-
long to the railroad kings. J. Hill, E. H.
Hartman and T. F. Ryan.
Why should Congress rob the Treasury in
the interest of such men as these?
If our Representatives can not block bare
faced steal like that, they are not worth their
salt Iater-The Democrats blocked it, all
right)
A New York law put tax of two cents a
share on stocks.
The stock gamblers objected to the tax
OF course. And they found Judge who de-
cided that the tax law was illegal.
Of course.
1t seems that you can find pretty much any
sort of Judge that you want in New York.
In arriving at the amount of compensation
payable to railroads for carrying the mails,
the Post Office authorities weigh the mails for
full week of seven days, and then divide by
workday week of six days
In other words, to get at the average mail
carried per day for seven days, the govern
ment divides the whole amount of the seven
days mail by six
Why not by seven?
Because that would lessen the paw of the
railroads.
Suppose railroad to carry seven thousand
pounds of mail matter during one week of sew
en- days.
The government wants to know how much
that is per day on an average.
Looks simple, doesn't it?
You would say, Divide the 1000 pounds
by days, and you get the average daily mail
of 1000 pounds"
But that isn't the way it is done at all. They
divide the 1000 by SIX and thus you get an
average daily mail, for the seven days, of
I,I66 2-3 lbs Now this difference of more than
100 pounds in favor of the railroads does not
look like very big thing, but when you re-
member how many hundreds of thousands of
pounds of mail matter are affected by it, everv
week in the year, you can begin to realize
what an imposition upon the tax payers it is

of your pocket every year and pour them into
the Golfers of such railroad kings as J. ]. Hill,
E. H. Hartman and T. F. Ryan?
Not afford to join the Farmers Union?
Why, Uncle Beeswax, you tickle me almost
to death. If you can afford to be robbed of
$45 every year to maintain national extrava-
gance, can't you afford to spend ST. per year
in the effort to save the $45?
Think it over, Uncle Beeswax, and get into
line with your class.
A great struggle for justice, for Right, is
ahead of us, old man! Don't shirk or skulk
or run. Toe the mark like man and help us
redeem you as we'll as ourselves.

Exposure Wastes Manure.

In an exact experiment conducted at
Cornell university 1000 pounds of or
binary manure from the horse stables,
worth S2.74 per ton for the plant food it
contained. were exposed in Il pile out
of doors from April % to Sept 90 Qess
than five monthsy, but at the end of
that time the total weight had decreas-
ed to 1,73O pounds, and that WAS worth
only S2.34 per ton. In other words,
the value of this pile of manure was
reduced from $J.4S to SOB during the
five months exposure. In another eX-
pertinent manure exposed for six
months lost SO per cent of its dry
matter and 43 per cent of its plant
food value. In this case the fresh ma
nure was worth $2.27 a ton. while the
rOtted manure WAS worth S3.O1 ton.
but the loss in total weight and in
plant food was such that for each
ton originally worth $2.27 there re-
manned only $1.30 worth after six
months exposure.

Russian Clover.

The new Russian type of clover now
being tested by the department of agri-
culture seems to possess special points
of merit, says American Cultivator.
The hay is said to be nearly dustless,
and the plant is a heavy yeldcr for the
first crop and is later than other clover,
thus coming into hay season ten days
or two weeks later, or at about the
right time to be cut with timothy 1t
is claimed to be better liked by cows
than common clover, having more juicy
stems and leaves which do not rattle
off the stems so easily as red clover.
If the claims are made good, the de-
partment will do good work in sending
out samples for general testing Seeds
of promising novelties like this Rus
sian clover are better worth trying
than Il bushel of ordinary mixed gar
den seeds sent out under the old style
congressional distribution.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
How to Make Corncob Charcoal.

The following is one of the best ways
to provide charcoal from corncobs for
the hogs: Dig Il hole five feet deep.
making it two feet in diameter ut the
bottom and five feet at the top When
you have enough cObs saved to make
q burning start a wood fire in the bot
tom of the pit and let it becomes, bed
of Goals about three or four inches
deep. Then fill in the cobs so that the
fire will keep burning. but not rapidly
enough to produce Il flame. The cobs
should he perfectly dry when they are
placed in the pit. When the pit has
been filed as full as possible place Il
sheet iron cover over it so that all air
is excluded. 1t may be necessary to
throw dirt over the edges of the cover
to prevent air from being admitted.
Leave the Goals in this air tight basin
for twenty-four hours and they will be
ready for use. III feeding it is Il good
plan to mix about one pound of COM
mon salt with each bushel of cob char
coal. The hogs need both charcoal and
salt, and this is the best and cheapest
way to provide these essentials.

Homemade Stock Food.

: The farmer can prepare very sim
pie stock food at small cost from the
following materials: PulveriZed nux
vOmica, two ounces; iron sulphate,
eight ounces; pulverized capsicum, four
ounces; fenugreek, eight ounces; sui
phur, one pound; common salt, eight
ounces; glycyrrhiza root, one pound.
Mix this with thirty pounds Of old
process oilmeal. The dose should be
about tablespoonful twice each day
for each 1000 pounds of live weight.
This preparation may be fed to horses,
cattle or hogs which are not doing
well. Those showing rough hair and
an inability to lay on flesh, no matter
how much feed is given them, need a
stock food similar to the above.-Chi-
