vinced many times that if the milk
man did not use great deal of butter
that he must have butter to sell. Some
jokes have been cracked about the
milkman's pump which were not all a

from cows affected with tuberculosis
Or that he shall put for1naldehyde in it

The man who sells milk for human
consumption had best make up his
mind that he is to sell milk, clean
healthful milk or find himself in seri-
Gus difficulties. The state law, of Iowa,
at least, calls for milk with cream in
it and every person who sells milk with
less than 3 per cent of butter fat Is
liable to prosecution whether he is
milkman or creamery patron. That law
should be strictly enforced. Other laws
should be passed to cover necessary
points. Cities should have milk in
spectors who inspect, who do some
thing for their money. There is every
reason why monthly tests of milks sold
within the city should he made and
why those who attempt to sell a skim
med, watered or unhealthful product
should be prosecuted to the full extent
of the law We have come to time
when more children are dependent up
on a nursing bottle and cows milk
than upon the natural fountains Of in
tanGs' food supply. To sell milk unht
in any way for the sustenance of the
babies who depend upon 1T is a crime
and one to be severely punished. To
scatter tubercular germs abroad in
milk is moral murder.

himself Otherwise others will get busy

RATE REVISION UP AND DOWN

RATE REVISION UP AND DOWN.
Lsioux City Journall
The Iowa board of railroad commits
sioners has the right to raise as we'll
as reduce freight rates to make them
reasonable and just. This Is the de-
cision of the board In a case involving
an Interpretation Of the section OF the
! statute which provides that the board
shall from time to time, and as often
as circumstances may REQUIRE, change
and revise such schedules, but the
rates fixed shall not be higher than
established by law
Until recently the above clause was
interpreted to mean that the board
could not increase existing rates.
Early in the summer some of the roads
dug up few rates alleged to be too
low and asked that the commission in
crease them to reasonable and just fig
ures. The commission questioned its
right to increase rates, and announced
a hearing at which the point might be
argued pN and con. The railroads
were represented on one side and a
number Of shippers organizations on
the other. The argument was over the
meaning of the clause above quoted
and subsequent one providing that
the rate shall in no case exceed the
one now or hereafter fixed by law"
The railroad representatives commended
that no freight rates in Iowa can be
considered to have been established or
fixed by law. They argued that the
time the commission law was passed It
was expected maximum rate Law
would be passed, in which case II
would be logical to provide that the
commission should not raise the rates
so definitely fixed by statute. But the
law was not passed, and room was left
for the argument that the prohibition
did not apply to rates originally fixed
by the roads and approved or corrected
by the commission. The contestants
contended that the language OF the
commission Law applied to rates legal
ly established when the commission
law was adopted and to such otfe,
rates as might be fixed by law in the
future. The commission finally decided
that the arguments made by the rail.
way people bore the most weight. Th,
ruling is that in the absence of {
statute definitely fixing maximum rate.
the commission has the power to rails,
as well as lower rates to make then
reasonable.

BREMER's COUNTY FARM.


Bremen county has a farm. called
the county farm. 1t is a productive
farm, but it was not Away so. The
land is much of it fiat and wet and
has been called duck pond and mud
hole. But the worst forty acres Of the
2S8 has been tile drained. ANY one
who is skeptical about the merits of
thing should visit the county farm.
Directly east of the house is now a fine
garden, a large garden in place OF the
quagmire 1t was tiled in May OF this
year. and has probably paid for the ex-
pense already this one year. This
would not be true were 1t an ordinary
field crop instead Of garden. The
more extensive the farming, Of course
the better returns for outlay.
But to the west Is another tiled spot,
and eight acres of potatoes are grow
ing where no cropping was previously
attempted. There is a fine growth of
vines and they are still green in spite
OF the drouth. Rain is needed now
and is all that is needed.
Everyone knows that thing is a bene-
of US realize that 1t is benefit when

in tiled land and so can stand drouth
better. The crops are good there this
year-the corn is second to none on the
best land in the county probably-cer-
tainly much ahead of the average, and
lit must be remembered that the land
is not above the average, but by good
management it has been brought up
year by year and it is an object lesson.
The farm buildings are suited to the
needs Of the institution and all are well
kept. The board of control has ordered
a new water works system-one with
a tank elevated enough to throw water
on the roof of the house as a fire pro-
lection. In case of fire it might be
impossible to remove all the insane
people. This new water works system
will cost money, probably $4,000 to
$4,000, but without 1t we should not be
|allowed to take care Of our mildly in
sane, and that would be more ex-
pensive. The county supervisors were
making one Of their stated visits at the
time the writer was there and they
showed as much interest as IL the pro-
perty were their own, and what is bet
ter, they are proving themselves good
managers And Steward Kruger is
all right all the time. The county
farm is a success and a credit to the
county.

such case the railroads could not COM
bine to raise the rate without running
into the antitrust law. II the COM
mission could not raise the rate. an
unreasonable rate would have to be
maintained Indefinitely. 1t is the pur-
pose OF Iowa rate legislation that all
rates shall he reasonable and just to
shippers and roads. The commission
assumes that It was intended to make
an unreasonably low rate as Illegal as
an unreasonably high rate. It as
sumes also that the legislature did not
intend that IL the commission once
erred In naming an unreasonably low
rate It should never have an oppor-
tunity to correct Its mistake by nam
ing q higher rate.
On the whole the commission con-
ccludes that If 1t is its function to see
that all rates are just and reasonable,
it must assume the power to change
rates that are unreasonably low, as
well as to change rates that are un-
reasonab bly, high. One may not like
the conclusion, but 1t is not easy to
quarrel with the logic Of 1t.

stfnks OF cigarets and smells of lax
parental discipline and Of fool mothers
and weak fathers. Always. The father
who perhaps sits in a barber chair and
hears it from the boys of the other
men is supremely disguised but he
doesn't go home and ask where his
boy was, who he was talking with
and of what they were talking. His
boy comes home to his meals oil right.
That Is about the only time he sees
him. The fact is he is too busy to take
the trouble to find out whether these
boys were one iota worse than his own.
1t is the strangest thing in the world
that men Of business acumen, keen OBJ
servers of men, permit green boy
in his teens to fool them simply be-
cause he is their own.
Among the worst things that can be
said over a dead man is that "he was
an indulgent father It has within 1t
two-thirds of the worthlessness, half
the crime and nine tenths of the mis-
cry of earth. The indulgent father
whose indulgence rears lazy, idle,
and degenerate son is one of the worst
enemies to society and to his own pos
terity. A boy should work He should
have responsibility. He should give an
account of his time. 1t is as easy to
spoil a good prospect" useful man
as to spoil the prospect of a 2:10 trot-
ter. 1t is as easy to ruin boy by
idleness as to spoil high bred setter
pup by letting him run wild But many
a man who is careful of his horses and
his dogs is bitterly needless of his boy.
He lets him run wild. He is smoking
cigarets and telling what "she said"
usefulness.
Some times IN evaporation 1t seems
that an official with a club should be
created to the benefit of boys and of
society. His duty would be to make
conversations and smoking parties like
the one quoted above unpopular and
unattractive. In fact he would stand in
loco PARENTS. in place of the father
who is too busy to keep his son busy
enough to understand that life has re-
sponsibilities to be met and that an
idle youth is usually the prologue to
IA life of shame, disgrace, worthless
ness or crime.

UNEMPLOYED MAKE COSTLY LABOR.

The social state of England, with Its
perism as an established institution,
something like a million persons being
dependent on organized charity for a
greater or less portion of the year. is
not without its lessons for the rest of
the world, or for England itself, for
that matter.
One of the isrns brought forward in
times of stress and enforced idleness
is that the government ought to pro-
vide labor for the people. In London
the government has been trying this,
and the results of the experiment are
worth noting and remembering.
The London Spectator discusses the
subject as follows:, "Pauper labor, like
slave labor. is almost worthless. Sup
port for this dictun is found in the
recent experiences of the London coun-
ty council in its efforts to provide
work for the unemployed. Work vas
done this winter in the London parks
to the value of $4,000. 1t cost the
central unemployed body to accomplish
this no less than s29e,1oO. In other
words, work which laherers hired in
the open market and paid high wages
could have done for $4,000 cost 1851,
100 more when done by the unern-
ployed-that is, by men who knew that
| they would not be discharged if they
idle and who had no interest in their
work, but only in their wages. That
we venture to say, is the type Of work
/ which will be universal when the state
is the sole employer and when men do
/ not choose their own form of work,
but have it found for them by that
/ benefcent despot, the government"
/ That government which governs the
least and at the same time secures to
the individual freedom in person and
property is the best. 1t ought to be
itself responsible for the employment
Of the people. The more nearly we
can approach the ideal that the in
dividual supports the government, and
consequently the further we get from
the notion that the government should
support the individual, the better. The
1ncas provided work for their people.
The paternalism of Peru was complete.
The individual could not come to dis
tress On the other hand he had no
initiative, no selection, no alternative,
no freedom, nothing but to follow the
cent prince before he was born.

greater spirit Of harmony with the

emit" the Waverly Independent says:
I'VE have been too busy to investigate
as to wether this statement is strict
ly true or not, but we do know that
there is plenty of harmony, if harmony
is what you are looking for And when
man is as busy as Senator Cummins
has been the past eight months, look
ing after the interests of all the people,
he is not apt to be looking for quar-
rel. Really. it looks somewhat like
harmony when we find the Cedar
Rapids Republican saying: We do not
look for any contests within the re-
publican party in Iowa. There is really
nothing to fight over"
ut must be conceded" says the
