END THE ROBBERY
DEMAND OF WESTERN FARMERS
FOR TARIFF REFORM.
Great Agricultural Section Of the
Country Has Paid Taxes to Rob
Der Trusts Long Enough
"Protectlon" a Farce.

The bulk Of surplus cash In the nj
ted States is owned by western farm
ers. They deposit it in their local
banks, whence it flows through vari-
GUS channels to the eastern money
markets for investment.
At a recent national gathering OIL
presidents Of insurance companies the
statement was made that money is. a
drug in the market. The insurance
men are in close touch with the imam
cial market, as they have prodiglous
SURPRISES to invest. Just now the
market is flooded with the hoaros OF
thrifty investors.
The insgular fact is that while the
east is just recovering from a money
panic the agricultural west had no
panic to recover from. The farmers
have had no hard times for a series
Of years. They were still buying au-
tomobiles and luxuries when panic
stricken eastern banks were issuing
clearing house certificates.
The working capital of banks, rail-
roads, factories and mines comes In
the main from the small accumula-
lions of thrift put out at interest. The
greatest creditor of all is the Ameri-
can farmer. While bumper crops and
high prices for agricultural products
prevail the farmers will remain su-
preme in the creditor class.
The farmer keeps up the country
banks and stores, which in turn sup
port the great marts of industry In
the cities and manufacturing centers.
Wall street and the spectators mere
ly levy toll on the teeming industry
of the nation. The tariff barons get
their share of the spoils through in
direct tariff taxation.
Practically everything the farmer
has to buy yields a tax to some rob-
Der trust. If he would improve his
buildings he must pay a tax to the
lumber trust. If more implements are
needed the harvester trust gets its
pound of flesh.
So it runs through the whole list of
necessities and luxuries. The trusts
tax the farmers like all. other con-
sumers without giving anything tam
gible in return. The alleged %"protec-
ton" of tariff schedules is a mockery,
as far as the farmers are concerned.
Their coinage of wealth from the soil
needs no artificial protection.
1t is to lessen plain tariff robbery
that western farmers demand genuine
tariff revision.

WITH THE LAWMAKERS
SUMMARY OF BILLS INTRODUCED
IN CONGRESS.
Action on Various Measures Taken BY
National Body in Final.
Session.
Statehood Measure Up Soon.

Neutrality-suspicious. and New
Mexico are in a fair way to become
f~ull.fedged states during the present
congress. It was learned thursday that
the house committee on territories
will take up the statehood measure in
the immediate future with the object
of reporting them to the house as
early as possible.
Conferences between members Of
the territories committee and leaders
of the house have been held frequently
within the past two weeks and the ad-
vocates of statehood from both terri
tories have been active in a qiet way.
1t is believed there will be no attack
in the capital by the statehood BOOM
ers, and that they will realize their
ambitions without any demonstration.

Tariff Taxing the Small Home.

The ambition of every thrifty wage
Garner Or soil tiller is to own his

fruit of self-sacrifice and plodding in
dustry.
The lumber trust sits in the gates Of
prosperity and takes toll of every
home builder of modest means. 1t
taxes every stick of finished timber
that goes into the dwelling. 1t taxes
the plain, u~npretentious furniture. 1t
taxes the farmers barn where he
houses his crops. and the sheds for
his livestock.

When Society DECAYS

The prosperity Of a people is pro-
portionate to the number Of hands and
minds usefully employed. To the com
munity, sedition is a fever, corrup-
tion is a gangrene, and idleness is an
atrophy. Whatever body or society
wastes more than It acquires, must
gradually decay; and every being that
continues to be fed, and ceases to
labor, takes away something from the
public stock.-Samuel johnson.

Engine Crews Jumped.

The crews of the engines had bare
ly time to jump to save their lives.
The engines came together with a
frightful impact and telescoped each
other until the three boilers looked
like one huge elongated tube Of steel.

her mother. Eight passengers were de-
capitated as though by a guillotine.
The bodies were scattered, as were
the heads, and as yet have not been
identified.

son in the chair car escaped death
or injury.

train, while Sigmund Olson, engineer
of the first engine of the freight, and
]. 7. Jeffrey, engineer of the second
engine, are known to be seriously in
