Goes Back On keokuk.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Keokuk is
alert through her Commercial club
she has invited President Taft and his
party to start the proposed Mississippi
river trip at the Gate City and thus
to duplicate the trip taken By Presi-
dent Roosevelt two years ago. IT is
one OF those matters where friendship
ceases. The President and his party
will know very little of the upper Miss
issippi # they start their trip at Keo-
kuk and they will miss some OF the best
things IN all this glorious country of
ours. An Upper Mississippi trip
ought to begin at st. Paul, MINI.

4 writer IN the current number Of
the Review o. Reviews makes public
some interesting facts and figures
concerning the rapid expansion OF
tte business on making automobiles,
which II IS declared has scarcely had
parallel in American industry. Last
year some 1890 cars were manufact-
ured in the United states. Next year
# is conservatiyely estimated thar not
less than 10000 cars, and possibly
2oe,009. will be made. With an aver
age price OF 1880 per car, this
means an output that viii be sold for
not less than s225, 900, 900. In an in
dustry which, FIVE years ago, was
negligible in size, these figures give
a striking idea OF the grasp that mo
toring has taken on the Imagination of
the American people.
II is predicted that the huge in
crease in the production of cars next
year will be most largely IN low
priced and medium-priced machines.
The large factories that make automo-
blles selling from $500 to $4,000 each
In a year. The cars that cost more
than $4,000 are made by concerns that
produce, with one or two exceptions,
less than 1000 cars a year Il is in
the cheaper machines that American
ingenuity and factory methods have
most signally triumphed. 1t is true
that now the best high-priced Ameri-
can cars are about as good as the
best European products; but the
American cars selling for less than
$4,000 are better than the European
machines of the same grade These
cheaper machines are already being
exported to Europe in successful com
petition with the foreign cars, q
state OF affairs that would have seem
ed impossible only two or three years
ago.
1t is further noted that movement
has already set in toward centraliza-
ton of the business of automobile
manufacture The General Motors
Company has purchased a half dozen
automobile businesses manufacturing
in the aggregate over 30, 600 machines
a year. To show the prosperity OF
the trade, the last concern to sell out
to the General Motors Company re-
ceived s4,500,000 for its stock. and
every dollar of this is said TO be clear
profit as dividends have already been
paid to the full amount of the original
investment.

A few years ago the pension roll

It below that by more than fifty

HISTORY OF THE BILL.

The new tariff law is on the statute
books. Officially it will be known in
history as the Payne bill, taking its
name from the chairman of the house
committee of ways and means, the
Hon. Serene E. Payne of New York,
who also had part in framing the
Mckinley and Dingley acts. Actually
1t should perhaps be called the Payne
Aldrich bill. as the chairman of the
senate finance committee has had quite
as much to do with debating its final
provisions as Mr.. Payne On this line
OF reasoning. however, there are those
who insist that 1t should be called the
Taft bill, as the hand OF the president
mas been seen in all the moves that
have shaped it from the days OF the
Republican national convention that
nominated him and adopted a plank
for tariff revision up until the hour OF
the final fight in conference committee,
when the big man in the White House
made his historic fight for free raw
materials and for carrying out the
promises of the party.
II is the first time there has been q
change of the tariff laws in twelve
years. tile Dingley act having gone
into effect in 1897. The inception OF
that law was strikingly Ike that OF
