THIS NAN SAVED HIS MONEY.
[Des Moines Capitall


On yesterday travelling man depos-
tied in a Des Moines bank $4,000. He
has been on the road thirty years. He
has never been in business for himself
Besides the deposit of yesterday he
owns three good Iowa farms. He
bought one of his farms three years
ago and could now sell it at a price
of s35 per acre more than the price
paid for it. The $4,000 deposited rep
resents the proceeds of a life insurance
policy which had just matured. This
man owns a good home in this city,
has always lived comfortably, has edu-
Gated his children, and upon all proper
occasions has taken his vacations. He
is q rich man as things go in the west.
With the $4,000 deposited, he in
tends to buy more farm lands. He con-
siders such an investment the safest
there is. Neither moth nor rust can
corrupt it, nor thieves break thru and
steal.
What this man has done other men
can do. AS we have related before, the
man who intends to work for wages all
his life has but one simple problem
before him, to-wit: He must save some
money every year. What this travelling
man has done, other salaried men can
do. The man we speak of is in the
prime of life, prepared to enjoy him.

that she had a ticket. Nor was there
any doubt that she had lost it. What
happened? Did the railway officials
try to devise way for the little wom-

he had nothing to do but put her off

viroinis's Prohibition Fight.

when I was in Virginia last De- cember would have been willing to bet that the old state would have statutory prohibition forced on 1t by the legislature which meets next win ter. but I believe now that the pres ent local option law will continue in operation" said Henry R. Merritt of Baltimore.
 q was in Norfolk and Richmond and in southwest Virginia in February and talked with representative men who had favored statewide prohibition. but who now say they will vote for Harry St. George Tucker for governor on a local option platform Judge Mann is the prohibition candidate for governor and while he has a large following Tucker seems to be far more popu- lar.
 Tn Norfolk I met several prominent citizens who said they had thought of joining the anti-saloon forces and would do so if prohibition would pro- hibit in the large cities. They said from all they could learn prohibition was a farce in most cities. Blind tigers would certainly run riot in Norfolk and the city would lose a large rev enue"

 Tempest.
Mr. Taft'S Sneclal Message

Tn perhaps 150 words the President submits the revision of the tariff to the special session that he had con vened. He asks the Senators and Rep resentatives to revise the tariff and to remember the deficit He wants the one accomplished and the other cured speedily.
 He seems to dislike the word fin heritance." for he does not repeat it, although he does refer to the sugges- tion of an inheritance tax contained in his inaugural message He wants a real revision of the tariff, something he will not get at the hands of the Dal- zell machine in. the House or the Aid rich machine in the Senate.
 The President does not make plain how action on other bills in an idle Senate or an idle House would delay either the tariff or any measure for overcoming the deficit. He is really playing to the galleries when he urges speed in the revision of the tariff, for the two Houses cannot well act simul- taneously.
 However, much will be forgiven in the Presidents message when we con- sider how brief it is. After seven and a half years of slap-dash, slop-over messages on almost every conceivable subject the country will forgive almost anything in a message that contains only 150 words.

Two Unpopular Taxes

It is reported that the Payne scheme of taxation will include a revival of stamp taxes. A stamp tax has been patiently borne in times of war, but this country has never taken kindly to stamp taxes in times of peace. It did not in the days of George III, and it would not in the days of William How ard Taft
 tax on bank checks would lead to hoarding or to investment of idle capital, and deposits would be consid- erably reduced. When a man is taxed whenever he attempts to regain his own money he is sure to grumble, and the depositor who can do so without loss will withdraw his deposits.
 Nor would a tax on coffee be any paid by the consumer, and an attempt to increase by direct taxation living expenses in these times would be bit terly resented by the average voter. The wage earner needs a reduction of taxation, not an increase. No article goes to more breakfast tables than coffee. It is universally used in this country. To tax it is to tax one of the commonest necessaries of life, and the tax with perhaps some additions would be largely collected from those who have trouble now in making both ends meet.
 The additional revenue demanded by war and navy expenditures should be collected from those who receive the most protection from government and who are the most able to pay. An income tax exactly fits the case.

MT. Underwood was named as one of the 15. The plan was voted down, largely through the aid of demo- cratic recalcltrants. The Fitzgerald compromise was adopted by means of democratic votes. The Age-Herald is glad to say that no Alabama member assisted the Brooklyn democrat. No Alabama member became a democratic kicker All of them stood true to the democratic leader, and MT. Underwood was in the thick of the fight Out of Georgia's II members only four re- mained true-Adamson Lewis, Bell and Hardwick. The other seven voted with the machine and against the democratic leader. Out of IS demo- cratic recalcitrants Georgia furnished seven. The seven will have something to explain to their constituents next year.

Cotton Mills In TrOup County

LaGrange is the county seat of Troup county, which lies along the Alabama line. This capital of Georgia county is neither large nor particularly capi- talistic, and yet it is building two cot ton mills at a cost of sS50,0 600. This sum is to be drawn almost entirely from LaGrange capital. One of the new mills is to be completed August 15, andsthe other on October 15.
 And yet just over the line is a state full of coal seams and water powers. A mill at Cordova in that state stands on coal seams, and it's fuel is drawn up at the door Of it's furnace room.
 One would naturally think that cot ton mills would seek either seams of coal or water powers, but the opposite seems to be the case, for the new mills in Troup county, Georgia, are not To- cated over coal seams or alongside water powers.
 The inference is plain. Where na- ture has not scattered riches with a liberal hand then energy and enter prise spring up, and the latter are more effective than natures gifts. This is why Troup county, Georgia, builds mills, while Alabama is building none at all

MT. Fitzgerald'S Compromise

The insurgents in Congress stood
 true to their convictions, but about IS
 democrats did not, and the net result was the adoption of the Fitzgerald
 compromise. This compromise af- lords the members a better chance to get out of the hands of Uncle Joe, but it is far from what is desirable from what public sentiment demands. When the House appoints its own com mittees and gives every member fair opportunity to call up bills the revolu- tion will be complete. The Senate does not permit any Sunny Jim" to ap- point its committees. It appoints it's own committees. So should the House.
 The Fitzgerald compromise is sim ply the beginning of a movement that will forever abolish the Reed rules. It enables member to put measure pn special calendar, and this he can

WIRELESS TOWER
 WILL BE BUILT

Washington. March 16.-By an agree ment reached today between Secretary Meyer and representatives of the Ma tional Electric Signaling company of Pittsburg, the naval establishment is to be furnished, under contract. with wireless apparatus. which will trans init messages for a distance of 5000 miles, day or night. and two ships are to be furnished with similar apparatus, capable of sending messages for a dis tance of 1000 miles.
 The apparatus, 1t is said. will be 30 times as powerful as that in ordinary use
 This will enable the department to communicate with it's vessels practical " across the Atlantic ocean, and if successful, will mark one of the great est achievements in naval practice.
 The tower in which the apparatus is to be installed will be erected here it is now contemplated, and will be con- structed probably by the government.

 "'This gentleman, he said to us, indi- eating Mir Aldrich, I have visited at his home in Cincinnati. I have again visited him at his home in New York.

TARIFF BILL WILL
 COME UP TODAY

Washington, March 16.-The Payne tar if bill will be introduced in the House tomorrow soon after the House convenes In the meantime the bill will be re- printed.
 At meeting of the subcommittee of republican members held today after Speaker Cannon had appointed the com mittee on ways and means, several changes in the bill were agreed to. The meeting was for the purpose of secur ing the approval of the new republican member, Representative Cushman of Washington, who had no knowledge of the provisions of the bill.
 The appointment of Representative Cushman gives the Pacific coast states two representatives on the republican side of the ways and means committee and leaves the Rocky mountain states without a representative. The changes agreed upon however, are understood to be mainly in phraseology
 MT. Cushman represents on the com mlttee that section of the country which desires to improve its commercial rela- tions with Canada, especially to secure @ market in the Dominion for It's citrus fruits, olives, grapes and other commo- dites of a perishable character, for which a ready market is needed.
 On the other hand the lumber inter ests are very large in that section and MT Cushman's attitude may have had a material effect on the schedule.

More Trade for Birmingham

The merchants and other business men of this city were "banqueted" on Monday night, and toward the close of the banquet plans were discussed for bringing more trade here in 1909, and what was more to the point the taking of subscriptions went went generously on. A round sum of $25,000 is be- spoken, and the expectation of secur- ing that sum seems well justified. When 200 merchants and business men act together something Is sure to be accomplished.
 The sum named is none too large in this effort to bring trade to Birming- ham. A series of excursions, a state fair and many other plans are ripen- ing, and the league will soon be in condition to begin the work. Every thing that the league does will keep plainly in view the bringing to Bir- mingham of more trade. The prob lem will be worked out in the most direct manner. There will be no the orizing. Whatever will bring trade here will be utilized.
 When plain problem is taken in hand by 200 practical business men re- suits will follow as surely as day fol- lows night The get-together spirit is in our business streets and it is that which makes the new Business Mems league so full of the promise of prac- tical accomplishment.
