'fThere are said to be some jokers in
the tariff bill, but are there any jokes?"
asks a Los Angeles paper.
Yes, brother, there are some very
good jokes in the new tariff bill. For
instance, this one will make the ulti-
mate consumer almost tickled to death:
If he imports 81 900 worth Of dia-
monds he pays tax on only $780, but
if he imports thousand skirts worth
a dollar each he would have to leave at
the custom tax of $60l. go. The joke,
you see, would be on him
Here's another good one:
If the consumer brought in 81, 600
worth Of paintings and statuary his tax
would be 5000, but if it was sugar he
would have to pay S788 20 on the 81 900
worth. This is another joke on the
consumer.
This one is also a peach:
If he imported IS, 600 automobile,
the tariff makers would relieve him of
81, $50, but if it was $5, 900 worth Of
yarn, the tariff tax would be S6. $50.
OF course, this Joke has a tendency to
increase the selling price, but it's a
good Joke, nevertheless
Here joke that will appeal to all
who are worth a few million dollars:
If millionaire wants to import q
ST, 100000 ocean yacht the tariff will
be $50, 600, but if the importation was
stockings, the tariff collected be $751;.
$50.
The tariff on $1,000 worth Of furs is
1850, while the tariff on SIS, 600 worth
of clothing is the modest sum Of $4, 300,
There are jokes of this kind ad in
finitum. The only feature of the now
tariff bin which makes us sad is the
thought that wage earners are in no
danger Of having to contribute to the
custom house on importations of auto
mobiles, furs, champagne, diamonds or
million-dollar yachts.

gained Roadway that LaFoliette could
not be reelected. The comment was
frequently made that Wisconsin could
be controlled by an expenditure OF mon
ey and that there would be no limit to
the amount of money that would be con-
tributed by the Interests to defeat La
Toilette. In support of this view the
case of Isaac Stephenson was cited as
an illustration of what money could DO,
even in progressive Wisconsin. Mr..
Stephenson passed out the hint in Wash
ington last winter that Senator Latol-
lette would be endorsed and that ne
would contribute very literally to that
end. But the news that has been brought
to Washington by man entirely famL
lar with the situation in Republican pol
tiles of Wisconsin, a Stalwart, is that
the Senator will have no opposition in
the primary.

Waste is as inseparable from ineffi-
cheney as is effect from cause. The
fact Of incompetence is sufficiently
established by the foregoing facts as to
waste. They convinced Comptroller
Metz that "a business administration
would so check waste, swell revenues,
and increase efficiency, that in twenty
five years income would equal cost and
no taxes would be necessary. The
lesson Of lessons is that very great
part of the inefFiciency has been due to
methods which make inefficiency both
easy and certain. Whether man
loafs or blunders depends very largely
upon what is expected Of him. If no
BODY knows whether he goes to his
office or not, he will frequently stay
away. If nobody knows whether and
how he works when he gets there, he
will not do his best. To expect re-
suits without knowing what results are,
never begets efficiency. In the past
the most inefficient thing has beer
failure to find out whether individual
officers and employees, Offices anc
methods were inefficient or not. Not
having tried to find out, it has not
known specifically where inefficiency
existed. The gap between citizen re
sponsibility and citizen action has beer
quite as great as the gap between
official responsibility and official action

WHY SALVES FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA.
They clog the Pores-oniy Liquid
Can Reach the Inner Skin.

Since the old-fashioned theory of
curing eczema through the blood has
been given up by scientists, many
different salves have been tried for
skin disease. But it has been found
that these salves only clog the pores
and can not penetrate to the inner
skin below the epidermis where the
eczema germs are lodged.
Thistle quality of penetrating
probably explains the tremendous
success of the only standard LIQUID
eczema cure, oil of wintergreen as
compounded in d. d. D. Prescription.
After ten years of cure after cure, the
worlds leading skin specialists have
accepted this as the true eczema cure.
We ourselves do not hesitate to
recommend D. d. d, Prescription at
81. 90 a bottle, but for the benefit of
those who have never tried the pre-
scription, we arranged with the D. d.
D. Laboratories of Chicago for a spec
ial large trial size bottle at 25 cents
on special offer now. This first
bottle ought to convince every suf-
ferer, and, at any rate, it will surely
take away the itch at once.

Much is being said these days OF the
excessive butter prices. Proportioned
with other articles of good consumption
butter is, perhaps, no higher than con-
ditions warrant. A movement is on foot
among the butter makers of the coun-
try-the creamery men in particular, to
demand a higher tax upon colored Oleo-
margarine and Butterine. The makers
of these articles have. we are told, sue
ceeded in producing an article which
passes as good substitute for butter,
and which thousands use in place of
butter, because of the saving of about
half or about third over the prices of

LaFoIlette in Washington ana the East.


Special note from the National Capital
There has been a popular misunder-
standing in the east in regard to the
situation in Wisconsin politics as it re-
lates to Senator LaFollette's chances
for reelection. The east affects the be-
lief that the Senator from Wisconsin is
certain to be retired because OF the
powerful and mahgn influences that are
at work to bring about his undoing. No
man in the United States senate is so
thoroughly hated and feared by a GER
tain clique as is the senior Senator Of
Wisconsin. Other Senators have de-
nounced the "system" and have hurled
oratorica shafts but Senator LaForette
has delivered the goods He has drawn
an indictment aud then produced the
proofs to support it. He has a habit Of
coming into the senate with an array Of
information in detail that eonfuses his
opponents and throws them into con
sternation. He has been the most eff
fective fighter for reform Of any man
that has appeared in public life for
many years and it is all because Of his
thoroughness. Because Of this fact he
Is to be retired if there is any possible
way Of doing it. But the latest report
from Wisconsin is all in his favor 4
few months ago there was much talk in
Washington that State Chairman Ed
monds would oppose Senator LaFollette
and that he would have the support Of
the Taft administration, vast com
bination Of corporate interests and the
fragment Of the old Stalwart wing Of
the Republican party This probably
was the source Of the opinion that

In speaking Of my principles Of Civ
ing, it is impossible for me to disasso-
ciate the methods of giving of the Sal.
walton Army, over which organization
have the direction in this country. So
wholly do the two coincide. Briefly my
principles Of giving are threefold:
L. Always to meet the greatest need.
Our system Of investigation, practically
eliminating the possibility Of imposture,
is an especial satisfaction to me. For
instance at Christmas time, when we
feed tens Of thousands, not one ticket
is given away without the family being
visited and its needs verified.
2. To make the smallest amount 20
the longest way. Economy has been
our principle both perforce and by
choice. Our aim is to make each gift
meet some need and to reduce the cost
of transit from donor to recipient to a
minimum.
3. To rob charity Of its greatest foe
the risk of pauperization. 1t has al
ways been my belief that gift that
does not detraet from man $ self
respect is worth double its value. The
few cents paid for a garment in our
secondhand stores. the bit Of honest

If you remember that the cause of
