The National Council of Commerce
proposes to establish in Washington
an agency council for the dissemina-
ton throughout the country of lnfor
nation respecting domestic and for
eign commerce obtained by OR Tor.
eign consuls and local authorities.
Secretary Strauss, of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor, esti-
mates that the maintenance of prop
er agency in Washington will require
an expenditure of about $4,000 a
year. This expense will be borne by
merchants and manufacturers and the
amount assessed from each will be in
significant.
There is no medium today sufficient
ly comprehensive to properly take ad-
vantage of the valuable informations
obtained by our representatives
abroad.
Ever see any of those little pamph-
lets, containing counsuls' reports?
They are mighty interesting. The
counsuls tell all about the countries
in which they are stationed-of their
industries, their specialities in the way
of agriculture and manufactures and,
in short, everything worth knowing.
A collection of these reports is as val
liable as any atlas ever printed, for
they keep abreast with the times and
go into detail to a greater extent.
The advantage of receiving these re-
ports is obvious. A manufacturer or
merchant can learn what is going on
all over the world and he does not
have to indulge in lot of dry reading
in the learning. AS a rule government
reports are embarrassing enough. The
consuls' reports, however, are far from
being in that class. They are an ed
ucation in themselves.

New York, June Pa new way of

by its supporters to be far superior
to the popular primary and other
schemes of the highbrow reformers,
will be tried in Brooklyn next week.

the winner may not eventually be Sc

dent of their ability to defeat the low

The Indians in Alaska are not a clean

disease have been such that it is
seemingly a hopeless task TO at'empt
to give them any great relief. The
white plague is sweeping through the

1t is the future, though, that the

The average workingman and farmer
earns about $500 a year. One million,
six hundred thousands men with such
earning capacity would starve, go
naked and shelterless TO pay What
Congress spends in year.
"A a rule, people are not closely
enousn interested in political matters,
or matters of public importance to
realize what such vast expenditures
mean. The majority not being prop
erty owners, think it is all right-they
do not have to pay the taxes.
1t is this mistaken idea that is re-
sponsible for appropriations being
made year after year without voice of
protest from the people. The people
do not realize that they pay every
man of them, their share OF the billion
twenty-three millions appropriated.
The cost of living is high. This cry
is heard in every part OF the country.
So are taxes high. This explains why
living is high People pay the taxes
in some form or other They pay
them to the landlord. the butcher, the
baker. the grocer. the brewer. the to-
bacco merchant and dozens of others.
On the basis of five persons to a
family, the United States taxes ten
per cent. of the average earnings Of
the average man. Add to this city
taxes, special taxes and other NUM-
cipal and governmental expenses and
the workingman. who really pays the
great bulk of taxes, has pretty hard
row to hoe
Somehow when Congress is appro-
priating by the tens of millions. ii does
not seem that the workingmans mon
ey is being spent However this is
+ true.
The consumer, of course, does not
pay direct to the government. He pays
in shoes, clothes, rent, groceries and
everything that be requires live. The
prducers see that taxes are included
in the selling price of products. If
taxes were paid witt money and that
money disappeared with payment the
lold supply of the country wouls dis
spftar in two years.
