What Will the Effect Be?

cit is considered practically certain
that every possible legal obstruction
will be placed in the way of enforcing
the Spokane rate case decision by the
railroads in the Portland territory.
While it can not be learned definitely
at present if this step will be taken or
what processes will be resorted to, it is
believed the railroads will fight the
rate order just made and at least delay
its effect to the utmost, even if it can
not be defeated.
1.-THE Spokane rate decision was or
dered to become effective May 1. This
is said by all to be practically impos-

ORGANIZE IN FARMING
This Procedure MI Very Likely
Bring About a New Eva in the
Work of Agriculture.

Charles Dillon in the Outlook: Or
ganization is about to assure the
farmer a larger share in the returns
of his labor and a smaller proportion
for the commission broker. Modern
invention is making easier the labor
of the field, and the churning and
washing that made pale faces ami
weary backs and arms in the homes.
1t will take time to make men take
advantage of all these blessings for
themselves and their families, but
they eventually will do it. The chill
dren, returning from the state uni
versities or the colleges, are the hope
of the future, for they take to the
homes new ideas; ideas that may be
antagonistic to the old folks perhaps
but ideas of much value that are to
run farms in the next decade or two.
The girls, frightened by their course
of domestic science are telling their
mothers the better ways of doing
things; they are insisting on system
in women's work, SO that time may
be given to self improvement and to
social pleasures instead of making
life a dreary round of toll.
Farming in the next generation or
SO will be more and more scientific;
the agricultural colleges are bringing
that about where properly conducted.
Modern methods of cultivation will
mean smaller acreage and larger
yields, with improved quality OF
product. AS the value of land in
creases farm communities will be-
come the rule-that is to say, farm
ers will hold smaller properties frem.
which the profits will exceed those.
now realized by ~haphazard cultiva-
ton of large tracts, where weeds eat
up the earth's food. Scientific farm
ing, as it must some day come to b.,
will put farm families into groups,
and that will mean the woman's
emancipation. Farmers will live in
towns Dr. cities and go to their fields
as a business just as any business
man or skilled laborer now goes to
his work. 1t is so today in several
parts of North America. One such
community is New Cambria, Saline
county, Kansas, where one may see
the farmers starting out every morn
ing for their fields, leaving families
that are happy and contented b.
cause they are near one another and
permitted to indulge the human spir-
it of gregariousness.

Guiding an increase OF the tax on
beer. stamp taxes on instruments of
conveyance, bank checks, etc.
Third, the shortening of the free
list, so that a larger number of artic-
les may become dutiable. Such a tax
would relate to coffee tea, and
other articles on which no tax is now
collected, or on which the tax Is so
! small as to mean little in the way of
revenue.
Fourth, the readjustment of some
of the schedules of the new tariff
law, which will then be in operation.
"In all probability, howevo-, this
fourth means of raising additional
revenue will not be recommended by
the president, for it would mean that
the whole tariff question would be
opened by congress, to the disturb
ance of business generally. The other
three, or any one of them, can be
tried without disturbance of this sort.
Several senators from the central
west, probably Nelson of Minnesota,
and Dolliver of Iowa, among them
already see what is coming, and are
now getting ready for ii. They agree
with the president that the new law
as Mr.. Aldrich has it in mind, prob
ably will not produce sufficient rsye-
nue., and so they are trying to shape
things for next session, when the
president will be expected to make
one or more of the revenue sugges-
lions above mentioned,
There is just one way of escape
for the republican party from serious
danger in the campaign of 1910. If
as most men believe, the new tariff
law should fail as a revenue produc-
er, there will be time at the session
of congress next winter to amend it,
in accordance with suggestions made
in this article. That would be in ann
pie time for the purposes of the cam
paign. Failure to make such amend
ments, however, would place a big
stick in the hands of the democrats,
who, If properly directed, would be
able to WELD it with telling effect in
all the states between the Alleghenies
and the Rocky mountains"

HOW TO BOOST STATE.

Recently a movement was started
out at Pierre with the idea in view
of boosting for the state of South
Dakota, to see about advertising
country and it has met with instant
favor wherever the matter has been
presented. South Dakota has stood
idle in this matter, SO far as any
concerted movement was being done,
and adjoining states have been per-
mitted to secure perhaps a greater
movement Of settlers their way than
this state. John Longstaff in the
Huronite has taken occasion to ex-
press his sentiments in this matter
Of boosting and we believe that John
touched the spot in his article, which
is as follows:
"What is needed however it is to
be provided for, is to tell the plain
truth about the state, its climate,
productions, institutions and people.
No portion of our country is perfect;
every part has it's own peculiar draw
backs. But, all things considered
we believe that South Dakota is one
of the very best Of the states of the
union to live in. And, when more full
ly developed, must take still higher
rank. There are portions with a
~ ,, 1,o n, o1ir,, ut ~ nc Hoy, f1N x,ncf
ern coast. But the testimony of the
unbiased persons is that South Da-
kota has that country beat a mile,
for opportunities to gain a livelihood
and more. The biggest crop that
California has ever produced con-
sists OF tourists. 1t is surely fine not
to be Obliged to purchase fur coats
for winter, but, on the other hand,
one wishes to live where he can earn
the price of one. Residents forget
at a time like the present, hal the
weather is about as variable in most
other portions of the country as
here, and that the season is also
backward. This is rue from here to
the Atlantic coast and back to the
great divide. South Dakota can still
claim to be the sunshine STATE, the
lands of abundant crops, well-to-do
farmers, good homes and good
schools. And, we may, add, the
brightest prospects TO be found any
where. Tell the plain truth. 1t will
win.

President Roosevelt, Cannon and Aid
rich gave Morgan and Rockefeller the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company. He
also gave them the Aldrich sscurrency
measure, and then was ordered to re-
tire and rest until 1912. Now Taft,
Cannon and Aldrich come along and
give them the water power of the coun-
try, and doubled the duties on every
thing they have to sell. What next
will they get when this old friend,
Roosevelt gets back again? Taft, Can
non and Aldrich will fix the permanent
currency bill for them this fall, and
Taft will appoint tariff commission
to suit the interests and wind up his
term by making that commission perm

the titled heirs of this crowd sit on
their thrones over in Europe and say
