Toit'S Ideas

There is no doubt bout where
President Taft stands in the matter
of the income tax.
In his message to Congress on yes
terday the President asked that a
joint resolution be ado .Jted by two
thirds of the members of both houses
of that body requesting the various
State Legislatures to agree to an
amendment to the Constitution
which would enable the Federal
Government to levy and collect an
income tax.
There is no backing nor filling
there. 1t is plain and OutspOken
statement of where the President
stands. He is for an income tax,
out he wants to go about it in law
ful way
President Taft recognizes the fact
that the supreme c~"rt -
States has decided
come tax. He does not purpose ad-
vocating the passage of such meas
ure, knowing that the court is
against it and has already rule d that
it is unconstitutional.
His way of attending to the point
is to go about 1t in business-like
and regular way, if bis .aor.ls are fak-
en- their will be an appeal to all the
State Legislatures to give the federal
Government the right to do this
thing and then their can be no ques-
ton about it.
Again this is an appeal to the
people for their expressions of opin-
ion upon it. The varions State Legis-
latures may be taken TO represent
the view of the people of the country.
The members of these bodies are
elected to represent as law makers
the entire populations of the States
and the people will not send repre-
sentatives to the Legislature who
favor such tax if they do not want
it.
Thus it is clear that if the Legis-
latures do what the President re-
quests Congress to have them do, the
people will be for an income tax and
they will give the government the
right to levy it, which the govern
ment can then proceed to do. This
is splendid way of dealing witt
this matter and what is more it is
| an honest and fair way. 1t give
/. the people right to decide th'
whole question.
The President also proposes a ta>
3 on the incomes of the corporation
5 which will go far to show that h
: does not favor unfair advantages 70
these corporations.
The claim that the tariff give
I them great advantages will be offse
I by the fact that their net income
5 are taxed , per cent.-. that is
: the Presidents accommodation j
adopted.
0 This message of the Presidedt i!
+. direct and to the point. There is NJ
g grandstand play about it and ther
is no wasting of words. 1t mean
V exactly what it says and what it say
u is clear to all who read it.

OUR HIGH IDEALS.
Is the Grange Measuring UP to the
Standards Set by Its Founders?
Especial Correspondence.

Especial Correspondence
The question has been asked, "Is
the grange measuring up to the high
ideals of it's founders?" Ideals are
perfection. Results are reality. Ideals
are spiritual Results are human and
because they are human are seldom
perfect. Ideals mean higher and bet
ter things "IIe aims too low who
shoots beneath the stars
The founders of the grange placed
its ideals high. and that ii has ''meas-
ured up" made good" that the real
liza ton of its ideals in results is appar-
ent in the higher and better things for
rural life, is proved by the oft repeated
remark, "They builded better than
they knew"
One of its ideals was to perfect for
the first time in history an organiza-
tlon of tillers of the soil "united by the
strong and faithful ties of agricul-
ture." nation wide and perhaps as eX-
tensive as the world. This ideal has
been largely realized. and well nigh a
million members are now within its
fold, while other farm organizations
are following the lead of the grange
and keeping step with millions more.
Other ideals were meeting together,
selling together, working together
buying together. talking together and
in general acting together for mutual
protection ana advancement. TO bring
producers and consumers. farmers and
manufacturers into the most direct
and friendly relations possible, to de-
velop Il better and higher manhood
and wOmanhood\ among ourselves, to
enhance the comforts and attractions
Of our homes and strengthen our at
tachments to our pursuits, to encOur-
age education, that practical agricul-
ture, domestic science and all the arts
which adorn the home be taught in
our schools, encourage honesty in
business and politics, to support tenn
pearance and promote peace on earth,
good will toward men, and stand for
a proper equality, equity and fairness,
protection for the weak, restraint upon
the strong-in short, justly distributed
burdens and justly distributed power"
All worthy ideals these for the sons
and daughters of our American repub-
lie. One of its highest ideals was to
place woman in her proper place
the full equal with mantle first or
ganization in the world to do so. and
thereby to inculcate proper appre-
citation of her abilities and her sphere
Through the working out of it's
ideals 1t has made tens of thousands
of men and womon bctter-Uetter to
each other, better to their neighbors
and better to their God. 1t has made
brigher and better homes, bringing
about the real uplift in rural life. 1t
Is securing better and more just laws,
purer politics, curbing monopolies.
electing better men to Office and if its
ideals are kept bright and remain
high and if its members work for
these ideals and not for personal am
bition or other selfish purposes mil
lions more will rise up and call it
blessed.

THIS IS THE RIGHT
WAY TO CURE CATARRH

Hyomei pronounced High-o-me) is
a germ killing vapor or air which when
breathed either through the mouth or
nose will kill catarrh germs and soothe
and heal the infamed and mutilated
membrane.
Hyomei is such powerful germ de-
stroyer that it penetrates every told
and crevice of the mucous membrane
of the nose and throat. And it kills
the catarrh germs because it gets
where they are.
Hyomei is pleasant to use, 1t is made
from concentrated extract of pine and
eucalyptus taken from trees in Inland
Australia, where catarrh was never
known.
Breath in this pleasant. healing yet
germ killing air (you'l like to use Hy-
omei) through a small hard rubber in
Ihaler that comes with each outfit and
relief will come quickly.
Hyomei is guaranteed by Wilkinson
& Co. to cure catarrh or money back;
it gives most wonderful relief to con
sumptives. A complete outfit which

Session in Council
Keokuk was well represented at
the annual meeting of the Iowa
Nebraska, wholesale grocers associa-
ton at Council Bluffs this week. The
following extracts from the Nonpariel
telling of the meeting:
At meeting of the association in
previous years at this season contracts
between wholesale grocers and can
ming factories have been a much dis
cussed question. A year or more ago
the association adopted form of con-
tract between its members and the
canneries. This contract, 1t is stated,
has been generally. although not uni
versally used. But little, If any, at
tention was paid to the canning ques-
ton yesterday. AS one. member ex-
pressed it, the wholesalers are not
specializing this year. and are much
more backward with their contracts
for canned goods than heretofore.
The question of freight rates was
prolific of much discussion, together
with number of allied topics, and the
relations between the manufacturer
and the wholesalers was also discuss
ed.
While the catalogue houses did not
receive the same amount of attention
as at some previous meetings. 1t was
touched on, and the sentiment pre-.
viously expressed in opposition to
these houses and to manufacturers
who sell to them was reiterated.
No action was taken on the sugar
