Sending Immigrants to Farms.

The Immigration commission, aided
by several benevolent societies, is en-
deavoring to turn as many immigrants
as possible from the cities to the
farming sections. Experiments With
Italians in Louisiana and South Caro-
lima in past years show that these and
other people from southern Europe
prosper In the southern states and aid
materially in developing the commu-
mites where they settle. The immi-
largely to the farms without any d.
recting effort, but those from the
south tend to remain in the congested
centers and add to the o~verstocked
labor market, where, with the first
business reverse, they become either
a charge or a menace
In addition to the demand for farm
labor in the undeveloped sections of
the west where they might find homes,
there is also a good, II not a better,
field for them in the eastern and
southern farming sections. There they
will find much untitled land with
farming conditions more nearly like
those of their own country with which
they are better fitted to cope than
in developing new lands. They are
also adapted by nature for the eli
matte conditions of the south and
could add materially to their own and
the nations wealth if they would go
to southern farms, to say nothing of
the distribution aiding In their
Americanization. The commission
could perform no better service than
to divert the vast stream OF immi-
grants which pours into New York
into agricultural channels in sections
where there is demand and opportu-
nttV for them

Marshall Against Protection.

The democratic governor of In
diana has come out In an interview
supporting Mr.. Bryan in the latter's
attack upon Senator Bailey and other
protection democratic senators from
southern states. Mr.. Marshall is be-
ing groomed by his friends for the
presidential nomination in 1912, and,
like other democratic leaders, is
cropping for an issue. But there are
high protection democrats, moderate
protectionist and tariff for evenue
democrats like Mr.. Marshall declares
himself to be, which is but a varia-
ton Of free trade, for to accomplish
its highest revenue producing func-
lions a tariff must be levied only on
articles which we must have and can
not produce.
In basing hopes Of success on a
free trade platform, reasoning from
the Cleveland campaigns, Mr.. Mar
shall fails to consider changed condi-
lions. The south, which then was
agricultural and non-manufacturing,
is now largely engaged in manufac-
lures and its industries are rapidly
expanding. The south has beer and
is today the backbone of democracy,
but the attitude of Senators Bailey,
McEnery and others demonstrates
that it cannot be appealed to on the
free trade issue. Whatever southern
states may do at election time they
are not likely to assist in folsting
free trade upon the party. There are
three years more in which to seek out
a paramount issue, and doubtless If
no other should be found, Mr.. Bryan
would consent to be 1t.

Vain Southern Appeal.

Southern papers and southern peo-
pie have been often Of late lamenting
that numbers of southern people have
moved to northern states and urging
that If people of the older southern
states must move, they go to the south
ern states further west. Such an ap-
peal would be as vain as n of the
northern papers to stop movements
from this section to the south, which
have been considerable. People do
not change residence from habit, but
from a desire to better themselves,
and they go where conditions appear
the most favorable. 1t is this eco
nomic fact which has settled up the
great west, for here vas the land of
opportunity. The milder climate and
the development Of truck and fruit
farming has attracted many northern
people to the south and will doubtless
attract more in the future.
If there is any argument other than
individual profit and comfort in the
and northerners to the south it is in
favor Of the interchange. 1t tends
to a better understanding by the sec
tions of each other and to wipe out.
sectional differences both of opinion
and characteristics and make the
country more homogeneous. We nov
all know that yankees" do not have
horns and that the southerner does
not eat ~northerners as a breakfast
relish, but we still have much to learn
of each other which both would profit
by knowing.

Continuing Tariff Debate.

Senators Smoot n La Toilette are
continuing in the public press the de-
bate on the tariff bill, which they
began in the senate, but this discus
sion Of the measure, OF rather meas
ures, outside the conference commit
tee avails little. In the first place,
there are now two tariff bills. the
house measure and the senate bill
with the final form which the law is
t have yet to be decided by the
conference. II the finished measure
is not a compromise between the
house and senate bills It will be the
first time in history that such has
not been the case. There will be mu-
tual concessions by the two houses,
and the consensus of opinion is that,
in the main, the senate will insist
upon reductions It made from existing
law, and the house will do the same,
which would produce a bill with ma
terially lower rates than the Dingley
bill.
One thing brought out by Senator
Smoot is worthy Of more than pass
ing attention, and that is that the
increases from present rates made by
the senate are largely upon luxuries
such as wines, liquors, silks, dia-
monds, automobiles and similar clas-
sifications, which accords with ac-
cepted policy, and even the opponents
Of the measure will not generally
criticise this feature. 1t puts the in
crease upon goods imported by those
best able to bear it and keeps in view
one Of the essentials Of a tariff, the
production of revenue. People who
use Injuries will buy them whether
the cost is high or low whenever they
have the money, and price does not
affect importation so largely. This
is one part of the bill which is likely
to be retained and is defensible from
any attack.
1t will be time enough to analyze
the rates in the bill when the meas
ure is completed and not until then
can an idea be obtained of its real
relation to the existing tariff.

Altogether Too Much.

The prospect of a nearly 40 per cent
increase in city taxes ought to arouse
the people OF Omaha to an immediate
protest. II the tax levy is made to
conform to the demands formulated
in the resolution adopted by the city
council it will mean an increase of the
amount of money raised for city pur-
poses from $~1,150,000 for 1909 to
$500 900 for 1910. 1t would NEAR
that the property owner paying $40 in
taxes this year would have to pay 800
next year. In addition to this the
school board is said to be talking
about increasing the school levy,
which would pile a further burden oil
the taxpayers.
While the chief blame for this bad
state of affairs must go to the Water
board, and the Water boards reckless
mismanagement, still the Water
boards folly accounts for only $780,
900 out of the $45O,00O increase. The
excuse for adding 500, 600 to the other
funds on the ground of charter
changes is not a valid one. Because
the charter has raised the limit Of the
amounts which may be legally levied
imposes no obligation to raise the full
limit, and there is no reason why more
money should be taken from the tax
payers than necessary just because of
the power to do so.
1t should be remembered, further,
that the tax levy last year vas unduly
inflated and the city could have gotten
along reasonably well with 100000
less than was actually raised. An
other item to be kept in mind is the
promised occupation tax on the fran
chised corporations using city streets,
which will produce upward of $780,
900. The taxpayers will see no adj
vantage in raising money from the oe-
cupation tax IL II is not applied back
so as to relieve them eorrespondingly
by reducing the city tar rate.
So far as the Board OF Education is
concerned It, too, has been padding It's
estimates for several years and devot-
ing mcley from current taxes to per
manent improvements, which ought 10
have been paid out of proceeds OF
bonds already voted. For the board

Der of survivors Of those who served in

present time 6s5, 1872 out of 1,652, It's. Union
soldiers living at the close OF the war.
This is 1882 less than were alive a year
ago, showing that the veterans are dying
off at the rate Of los a day, or one In less
than every fourteen minutes.
We congratulate these survivors that they
have seen another natal day OF our great
republic. We expect and hope to nave some
Of them with us for many years yet, even
though their rate OF death increases with
the years. The same official estimate
fixes 1s45 as the latest date for the prob
able decease OF the last surviving veteran
Of the civil war.
This is eighty years after the civil war
closed and the youngest soldier who was
mustered out in 1866 at the age of 10 or IT
will be then nearly through the nlneties,
even II he survives that long. The pre-
sumption is that the strongest would pass
away earlier than that were 1t not for the
preserving influence of a government pen
sion on some organizations.
The Mexican war ended in 1S47, and June
30, 1908, sixty-one years later, 1855 surviv-
ing soldiers of the Mexican war were still
drawing pensions from the government.
Daniel F, Brakeman OF New York, a soldier
of the revolution, continued to draw a
pension from his grateful country until
April 5, 1858, when he passed away at the
age OF 100 years 8 months and s days.
Hiram Cronk, OF New York, a p~ensloned
soldier OF the war of 1912, died in May, 1906,
aged 15 years.
With the preoedents OF Brakeman and
Cronk drawing pensions e~ighty-eight and
ninety years after the end OF the war In
which they served, It is highly probable
that some of the civil war veterans will
