OVER FOURTEEN MILLS LEVY
Rate Of Taxation for County Higher

ROADS AND BRIDGES HIT FUNDS
THIS wipes out Balances that Ex-
listed and Completion of Deten-

Ward Takes Money.

A levy of 14.5 mills, an increase of al
mills over last year, was made for county
purposes by the county board at its meet
ing Wednesday. Tit total amount raiscd
by this levy will exceed the amount
raised last year by about $4,000.
The reason for the increase is that
funds which had good balances in them
last year have been almost this
year by the large amount of road and
bridge work done by the board. Another
need for more money this year is the COM
pletion of the Detention school n the

Tariff Revision.

We shall now see what kind of tariff
revision we are to have when the re-
vision is entrusted to the friends of
tariff" The Republican platform
pledges the party 'unequivocally" to a
revision to be made Immediately after
Inauguration. The word "unequivocai-
ly" is of course an admission that for
mer promises have not been kept, and
the word Immediately" is a confess
ion that the patience of the public has
been strained to the point of breaking.
But the word revision may mean
anything or nothing according to the
opinion of those who interpret it. The
tariff may be revised up or down or
sideways, and it will be revised. re-
vision has height and depth; length
and breadth; latitude and longitude
it has everything except certainty.
Revision may be anything from the
change of a comma 10 the repeal of the
entire tariff law. Mr.. Taft was very
careful not to commit himself by any
definite Statement on the subject, but
said that some of the schedules ought
to be raised and others lowered, but
this is not very explicit statement.
Al another time he said that the revis.
ion would be genuine one, but this,
too, admits of Interpretation. Again
he said that the revision would proba-
bly, be downward, but probably" is
not very strong word.

of Representatives is likely to be pre-

kind of tariff revision measure will
it be when it energies from the hands

Potatoes.

This year the potato crop of the
United States is short. There has not
been big crop for several years. The
deficiency has been made up by impor-
tations from Germany and Belgium, a
matter which came up before the
Ways and Means Committee in consid-
ering the tariff on starch.
In Germany potatoes are the big
crop. Twice as many are raised there
as in the United States. The German
farmers raise one kind of potatoes for
their own food, another kind for starch
and great many for feeding stock.
The starch potatoes are as different
from the ordinary edible potatoes as
mangles from table beets. By having
raised special varlties of potatoes for a
years their starch contents has become
high. Such potatoes are distilled into
alcohol, which is almost as cheap III
Germany as gasoline is here.
Intensive and ecor neal farming is
more necessary Europe than in The
United States, where the land is more
abundant and there is fertility to
waste. That is why almost all sugar
beet seed is imported, because the Ger
mans have selected beetseed for years
with view to higher percentage of
sugar. The carelessness OF American
farmers in using scrub potatoes for seed
is one of the principal reasons for the
deficiency in the potato crop here.
1t is easily possible to secure potato
yield of $50 bushels to the acre, in
stead of less than 100, which many far
mers averaged this fall. Two hundred
and fifty bushels at 20 cents a bushel
would pay the farmer better than
eighty or ninety bushels at rs cents,
and the great potato consuming public
would be correspondingly better off.
