Is THE WHEAT
ADVANCE LASTING.

The oeasus in n910' says James j.
Hill will show thst we have q popula.
ton of SQO0O, 600, which will mean that
we will require for our own use about
$50, ,O00O GOO bushels hereafter. We raise
now about $50. .OO0.0 600 bushels Of wheat
in the Uaiied States annually under
good conditions. Tkis will leave us but
20, co., Q00O bushels as a surplus for ex.
port, while IN the past we have exported
upward Of l20,OOO.OO0 bushels annually
So everybody can see that we will soon
need all our wheat for our own people. -
Possibly this forecast is correct and
therefore high prices for wheat will be
the rule hereafter. On the face OF the
figures the outlook for any large surplus
of wheat again is not bright. The wheat
crop of 1898 was 675, ,0O0, 600 bushels
while that of 1908 was about &C, 100000.

Of the country increased about 2l per

crossed the 10O,O0O,000 bushel mark.
Corn and oats have made a better show
ing in the decade than Wheat in regard
to increase but the gain in each of these
cereals has been comp .ratively slight.
But there may be some relief near at
hand which Mr.. Hill overlooks. All the
European producing countries raise
more wheat to the acre than we do, and
on poorer lands. The high prices will
offer powerful inducement to our wheat
growers to adopt some of the methods
OF their counterparts across the water.
The wasteful practices on on our grain
growing lands are discreditable to our
farmers. as we'll as Improbable, and the
campaign of education which the high
prices has set on foot ought to bring re-
suits which will tell in the crop yield of
the near future.
In aggregate wheat production Unit
ed states has still lead over every other
country, bnt it is not as long as formerly
Russia, France, Italy, Argentina, Aus
trla-Hungary, Spain, Germany and Can.
ada are large wheat growers but only
Russia, Argentina, Canada and one or
two other of these are exporters of wheat.
When the day approaches that we can
no longer supply our home needs the
duty on wheat will be removed long be-
fore that time. Probably the low prices

DON'T PAY.

at is rather costly proceeding to con-
vict blind piggers, but the prohibition
lists are convinced the money is well
spent"
The above is copy of a kernel in
the Fargo Forum. 1t is a common inn
preston that it costs considerable money
to convict blind piggers. 1t is not true.
Just as a financial proceeding, in all
North Dakota counties where public
sentiment backs up the law and where
Jurles will convict on the presentation of
reasonable evidence, the prohibition law
pays a cash balance to the county in
proceeds of bonds forfeited and fines
paid. Pcmbina county is several thous-
and dollars ahead on the deal and we
are quite sure several other valley coun-
ties, at least, are not out any cash in
the enforcement of this law.
1t will also be conceded by reasonable
people that any sort of selling alcoholic
beverages is tax on the public, which
is collected without giving anything in
return, bus Oh the contrary gives cut
that which poisons the community, in-
dividually and collectively, physically
and mentally, and produces more power
ty and crime than any other one thing
in the world. That any reasonable
effort to eradicate such an evil does not
pay both morally and financially is
another error of the general public.
Another error of the unthinking is
that the blind pigger who Is brought be.
fore the court escapes scot free when
the jury commit perjury and give their
verdict of ''not guilty." But all the
same he Is eonvicted-in the minds ot
the public and he has to pay the fine te

respectable class of piggers this stand
ing in the public pillory means much
and such prosecutions do great deal tt
take the respectability out of the bust
ness-and when the respectability o
the business is gone the remainder viii

1t is strange fact but absolutel,

TWO PER CENT
ON CORPORATIONS.

LII d tnesSage 20 congress President
Iaft has Gaade suggestion that there
be added to the tariff bill now under
discussion provision taxing all corpor-
atlons for profit two per cent on net
earnings. This suggestion was made so
quietly that it has hardly awakened the
the general public as yet to its impor-
tance. The Brooklyn Standard Union
says it establishes ''the likeness between
the Roosevelt and the Taft polices, the
only difference being that Mr.. Taft is a
little more so, aad further adds that
1--WE are getting from the White House
the Rooseveltpclicies plus pretty deep
lawyer
As the President suggests, the revenue
from such tax would amount to S25,
OO0,OO0. which would be nice sum to
add to the treasury, but the sIilk Of the
cocoanut is in the last part of the mes
sage which we, auote in full
"Another merit of this tax Ne the Fed
eral SUPERVISION, which must be exer
clsed in order to make the law effective
over the annual accounts and business
transactions of all corporations. While
tne faculty of assuminga a corporate form
has been of the utmost utlity in the
business world, it is also true shat sub
stantialy all of the abuses and all of
the evils which lave aroused the public
to the necessity of reform were made
possible by this very faculty. If, now,
by perfectly Legitimate and effective
system a taxation, we are incidentally
able to possess the Government, the
stockholders, and the public of the
knowledge of the real business transac-
tions and the gains and profits of every
corporation in the country, we have
made q aang step toward that super.
vlsory CONTROL of corporations which
may prevent further abuse of Rswer."
What the latter suggestion means is
best understood when one reads the uni
wersal howl hhst is coming hsom the
press that is controlled by the corporate
interests.
The diaeassalre .0f the ''private" busi-
Iness OF the corporations would no doubt
be very embarrassing to many af them
and would donbtless lead to results that
wsnld perhaps eat down their profits,
and they have good reason to object to
suoh tax. Pnota2ly they would much
prefer to pay the tax among themselves
rather than have sneh inqusit;oa into
their private busaaass.
Ihas, as has been previously argued in
this paper is the mistake of the corpor-
ate hodies. They really have no apri-
sate" business. Az stated by President
Taft "this is tax upon privilege and
not direct tax on property" The state
granite corporations certain privileges
and immunities in return for certain ad-
vantages to the body politic-and if this
statement is true it must necessarily
carry with it the power to see that the
Is carried out.
The Presidents theory that the cor
porations have right to be taxed for
the privileges given and that the state
has right to see what the corporations
are doing, is perfectly correct in our
opinion, and the ensuing publicity will
be of more value to the public than the
cash proceeds of the tax, large as it may

How She WheedIes and eullies tho
Poor Man Creature.
As woman gradually impressed upon
man the futility Of strutting around in
anery and the necessity Of being prac-
tically useful his garb has become more
and more sober and workaday In ap.
pearance. Ethnologists tell us that
the decorations Of primitive. man were
intended to fascinate feminine eyes,
but woman presently began to make
1t clear that she was not hunting for
"a fine, snowy article" but something
solid and plain and useful, warranted
to stand wear and tear. As for the or
namental role, she was going to repre-
sent the family herself in that line.
In fact, when n reflects how man
has been stripped Of gauds and whee-
died out Of his fipperies one by one,
n cannot help feeling a tender pity
for this victim Of feminine self aggran-
dizement. Poor, timid trembler! A
vague, general fear Of the female sex
haunts him. Afraid Of being married
against his will, he Is circumvented by
some subtle female creature who makes
him think that it Is his VIM to marry
her. An observer remarks that a man
