DIFFICULTIES OF TARIFF REVISION

Walter Wellman, veteran Wash
ington correspondent, raises the ques-
tion whether any genuine tariff revi-
sion in the interest of the consumer
can be expected of the present extra
session of congress. There are rumors
in inner circles, he says, that congress
sional leaders have already agreed
upon programme of deceiving Presi-
dent Taft and the country while max
ing revision upward.
Whether or no there is such an un-
derstanding, the country cannot ex
pect much in the way of revision
downward. To begin with, the origi
nal measure is exceedingly mild in i's
reductions. With its maximum provi
sions, nobody can tell to what extent
these reductions will apply in prac
tice. With Aldrich and Hale, in con-
troll in the Senate and Speaker Can
non and ais followers dominating the
house, one cannot expect great enthu
siasm is removing tariff fayors from
powerful and influential business in
terests. Senators and representatives
make the task of those reactionary
leaders easier. But few consider the
tariff bill with regard 10 its effect
upon the country as whole. Each
one wants to prevent revision down .
ward so far as the special interests of
his own district are concerned. The
other fellow must bear all the reduc
ton. Under such conditions rates
will finally be fixed by dickering and
log-rolling. Their tendency will be
upward as compared with the original
bill. In the end the measure will have
no reference to Mr. Taft's original
criterion-such rates as to equalize
cost of production here and abroad.
For such d task we need statesmen
with nation wide outlook st. Paul

April sta. The Venus period is cen
tral on the lst. Earth's period is still

Saturn is in conjunction with Earth

crisis from the lst to the 9th, culmin-
ating on and touching the 4th and

The INDEPENDENT does not agree

approve of the slap taken at Mr.

MAN

How wonde rful is man? He rides
With outspread wings upon the air;
He puts harness on the tides
And finds his sorrow hard to bear
When he begins to lose his hair.
He shoots smokeless, uoiseiess gun
And thus o'ercomes his bitter foe;
He girds the earth, he weighs the sun
And uses language that is low
Because some one steps on his toe.
He speaks across the CULTS of space,
Waste lands he makes superbly rich
And carelessly pours in his face
Things of a fiery nature which
Extend him in the reeking ditch.
He joins the oceans, spans the plains
And sets leviat thans afloat;
The lord of all things he remains,
He studies planets far remote,
And lets a ward boss cast his vote,
How wonderful is man! He walks
Upon the bottom of the sea,
And usually when he talks
Exhibits foolishness that he
Supposes to be wit, ah. me!

The old machine would referend
the congressional district law. The
U. 5. statutes provide that congress
men shall be elected by districts.
That the state was not divided into
districts before was for purely politi-
cal reasons, and the reason for at
tempting to hold up the present law
is political. 1t is pretended that the
form of the districts is distasteful, but
it would have made no difference
where the dividing line was placed.

DEUEL. county is furnishing an
other question regarding the issuing
of saloon license to be decided by the
supreme cour. At a recent election
in The township of Goodwin ma
jority of all voters who voted at the
election declared in favor of license.
The Anti Saloon League has taken
the matter up and secured an injunc-
ton against the issuing of license up
on the contention that majority OF
all voters, counting those who voted
and those who did not vote, was not
obtained for license. Upon this con-
tention the circuit court granted a
temporary injunction. If this INDUCTION
is not made permanent the matter
will be taken to the supreme court for
a final determination. The history
of our license law is interest
ing; it is the result of legislation and
judicial opinion. The law was prima-

rily license law. 1t was enacted by
the legislature in 1897, Immediately
after the prohibition clause ofthe con-
stitution had been rejected by vote
of the people. It was regarded by
the people as license law, and it
was SO regarded by nearly the entire
legal fraternity. 1t was the accepted
Interpretation of the law that to pre-
vent the issue of license vote to the
contrary must be had. If we remem.
Der correctly it was 10 1898 that the
temperance people of De Smet, act
ing upon the advice OF their attorney,
E. S. Johnson, failed TO present a
petition to the city council asking a
vote upon the license question. No
vote was held and the matter of issu-
ing license came up for consideration
by the council. Both sides were rep
resented before the council. The
license element had the opinion of
several attorneys who held the law to
be license law and that license must
issue in the absence of vote to the
contrary. This view was accepted
for some time, and it was not until
Chas. p. Warren took the now famous
Hetland case to the supreme court
that the law was interpreted to mean
that vote in the affirmative was a
necessary step precedent before
license could issue. Later the ques
tion of majority was raised, and the
supreme coult decided that it requir-
ed a majority of all voters at the cleo
ton, as indicated by the highest vote
cast upon any question at that cleo
ton, to authorize the issue of license.
At first thought the present contention
of the Anti Saloon League seems
rather farfetched, but considering the
trend of jud icial opinion it is not un-
reasonable If the courts have the
right to count voter who voted for
some candidate and did not care to
be corded upon the license question,
why have they not the right to count
the voter who did not take enough
interest to vote either on the license
question or for any candidate? Fol
lowing the present theory of the
courts it would seem that in the
Goodwin township case all that was
necessary for the AntiSaloon League
to do would be to es ablish to GER
tainty the fact that there were qualifi
ed voters residing in the township who
did not vote at the election.

ONE of the amusing things of the
situation in the state is the claim of
the so called reform element that it
put a stop TO the interest graft. The
legislature of two years ago was con-
trolled by the ''reformers" and the bill
to put stop to this graft was killed
by insurgent votes. Coe /. Crawford
and the state treasurer mustered the
votes to kill the bill Then a stalwart
was elected state treasurer, on plat
form declaration that whether the law
was changed or not, he would not take
the interest and the reform legislature
got even with him, for cutting off this
graft, by refusing him stenographer
at S720 year. The state treasurer
has more work and less pay and less
help than ever before. and he gets less
help because he is a stalwart, and
everybody knows it.-Argus- Leader.
But one of the amusing things the
AL. forgot to mention in this con
nection is the fact that there was a
liberal appropriation made by the
late Legislative session to purchase
the indemnity bond for the state
treasurer This appropriation runs
into thousands of dollars, and was
made to accommodate the stalwart
treasurer who was going to save the
state SO much money by turning into
the treasury the interest on deposits.
At the present time it looks as if the
taxpayers would have to go down into
their jeans and dig UP this extra ex
peDse.

Crops For OVERLOOKED lands.


Numerous inquiries are reaching the
Experiment Station regarding crops for
planting on the recently overlowed lands
and in order that the information may
reach as many farmers as possible the
following suggestions have been pre-.
pared for publication.
Owins to the lateness of the season it
will be impossible with a normal fall to
plant corn that will mature unless a very
early variety be used such as Pride of the
North or Northern Queen and this got
ten in by July 10Th or 25th. Corn plant
ed the last week in July will make good
feed If the season is favorable but will
very probably not mature.
Cowpeas can be sow up until the
last of July in Central Missouri and
make good hay, especially if al early
variety like the New Era is used. The
| Wiippoorwills will also make good hay
if gotten in by the 10Th Oh 25th. They
should be sown with a grain drill at the
rate of four or five pecks per acre. They
may be broadcasted, but a stand is less
sure. They may also be drilled thickly
with a corn planter and cultivated, but
the hay is not handled so easily when
sown in this way. They will make ex-
c~ellent roughage to feed in connection
with sorghum or corn fodder. .
Sorghum can we'll be sown up until
the last week in July. The Early Am
Der is best. 1t may be sown either with
IA drill or b.oalcasted at the rate of four
or five pecks per acre, or it may Ike drill,
cd with a corn planter and cultivated
Drilling with a grain drill is preferable
for this season OF the year. Cowpeas
or clover hay should be fed with it.
Mlllet can, of course, be sown with
fair results any time in July. Sowm
alone it is broadcasted or drilled at the
rate of three or four pecis per acre. 1t
may be mixed with cowpeas by broad.
casting a half bushel of nillet and fol.
lowing with a grain drill sowing a half
busiiel Of cowpeas per acre. A good
mixture can thus he secured with reason
ably favorable weather.
Rape may be sown any time in July.
II is best sown broadcast At the rate Of
four or five pounds per acre on a seed
bed reasonably vel prepared and lightly
narrowed in When sown in this way it
will make excellent hog or sheep pasture
after the middle Of September. The
Dwarf Essex variety is standard.
Rape or wheat sown during August will
make excellent fall and winter pasturv
il the season is reasonably favorable.
They should be drilled rather deep al
the rate OF o pecks per acre.
The Experiment Station will furnish
on application a list Of seed dealers hav'
ing the various seeds for sale.
