ONE IDEA TO GET RID OF.

(From the Cedar Rapids Republican.
1t is mistaken notion that few
gamblers and few lecherous men
make city. They contribute nothing
to the building up of city. They
contribute no more than leeches that
suck the blood of the horse that is
pulling the plow. The men who build
up cities are not of that kind. The
man who starts an industry, facto-
ry that employs labor and wages, he
is the man who is building up Cedar
Rapids. The idea that there can be
no city without leeches is too ridic-
ulous to be considered. We realize
that in every considerable city there
will always be more or less of crime,
but we should not get it into our
heads that such crimes or criminals
contribute anything to a city that is
worth while. They do not make bust.
ness. they kill it. The men who are
fleeced are men incapacitated for
their work in the community.

THE EGG BUSINESS.

Each year helps to demonstrate
that Iowa is not alone a great but
ter producing state. but that Iowa
hens are also great wealth pro
ducers. -.
The new firm of Lovett & Davis,
during the past few weeks, have
shipped from Manchester 24O0 cases
of eggs. Each case holds 800 eggs,
which make the total number Of
eggs in these shipments aggregate
$4,000.
The people of this community will
certainly be interested in bulletin
which is being sent out by the Ag-
ricultural Department. 1t is the work
of Milo NJ. Hastings, scientific as.
sistant in the Animal Husbandry Of
flee, on "The Egg Trade Of the Unit
e States"
1t is an uncertain trade, we gather
from Mr.. Hastings's pages, subject
to weather conditions. hen diseases
and an average loss through detri-
mental changes of II per cent.
The author recognizes the fact
that "in the case of eggs all changes
that occur are held in great disfavor
by the consumer" Yet, as one
swearing by the modern gods of
cold storage, he holds that absolute
freshness is not the only vital point
OF quality. Also, he illumines with
his wisdom the daily papers market
report. Cheeks" it appears, are
cracked eggs, and "blind checks" are
those In which the cracks are not
readily perceived. "D;rties' NAV
be plain so''ed, or stained, or smear
ed by breakage, and they form a 5
per cent. fraction sold at a 20 per
cent. loss.
AS the weakest spot in the indus
try, Mr.. Hastings has his eye on the
general store in the country, where
eggs are bought chiefly to induce the
farmers to buy other things. and
where the proprietor has neither the
tine nor the mind to candle his
purchases-which is to let light so
shine through the shells as to reveal
the state of contents.
By table the shipping and jobb-
ing process are shown which
turn 15-cent summer eggs from Iowa
into a 25-cent retail item for New
York.

BOARD TO MEET THIS WEEK.


The board of supervisors will meet
Thursday of this week, to consider
certain road matters. Petitions have
been filed, and the same will be
heard regarding the opening of new
highways. One of these proposed
roads is located in Colony township,
OH the property of j. NJ. Putt, which
would accommodate the owner of th,t
farm, as well as the public. Another
is in South Fork township on the
Demmer property, the petition calling
for the widening Of two-rod high
way. One is proposed in Coffins
Grove township, asking for public
road outlet from farm property, while
the other is for a new road in Elk
township, which would be mile long
extending from the northeast corner
of the township to a main road on
the south. Bonds have been filed
with these petitions, and the board
will consider and act upon these mat
tiers before adjourning.

WHY DO FARMERS LEAVE THEIR
FARMS?


The question used as headline
is being variously considered by gov
eminent officials, newspaper edi-
tors and students of social conditions
in all sections of the country.
Those who treat farm life as "a
life of hardship and privation, from
which both young and old endeavor
to escape at the earliest possible
date, are either talking about some
thing they know nothing about, or
else they are deliberately misrepre-
senting.
As matter of fact the homes Of
the farmers of Iowa will average far
better than those of the mechanics
and laborers of any city, in the
country. And farm work is less
exacting and more healthful than
the. average work in stores and
shops and factories. And farm work
is quite as remunerative as any
other class of labor. The farmer
lives well. He has first choice of
nearly everything used as food. The
rural mail carrier and the telephone
keep farmers in touch with current
events all the world over. Most
farmers own their own buggy or car
riage and their homes contain mus
ical instruments, books, newspapers
and nearly everything calculated to
make people comfortable and happy.
Yet, notwithstanding all the ad.
vantages possessed by farmers
neither they nor their children cling
to their farms as it would seem that
they should. There must be some
reason for this, and we think that
the reason is neither hidden nor
obscure.
People leave the farm on account
Of their desire for amusements
which, cannot be had on the farm in
this country.
In many parts of Europe farmer;
live in small towns and go out, some
of them several miles, to work theil
lands and care for their stock.
Places of amusement are promi
nent features of these small farm
towns. Those who attended the
Worlds Fair at Chicago may recol
lect seeing one of these towns, witt
its numerous splaces of amusement
among the exhibits of that wonder
full collection of human products ant
achievements
The amusement and excitement O.
the town and city are what al
lures and induces many farmers t.
desert their farms and farm homes
How can this be remedied?

THE JUSTICE OF AN INCOME

A tax upon incomes is tax upon
wealth, not poverty. In that respect
it is the opposite of a tax upon tea,
sugar and clothing.
An income tax would not deprive
the rich of any luxury, and it would
help to relieve the burdens now
heaped upon those whose lives are
passed in constant calculation and
fail to provide, sufficient daily bread
Without an income tax the multi
millionaire does not pay as much tc
support the federal government as
the poor day laborer who has large
family.
