THE CRACKING OF PAINT.
Property Owners Can Save Money
by Learning the Cause.

Do you know what is wrong when
paint peels, or cracks, or otherwise
necessitates premature re-painting?
Well, sometimes it hasn't been
properly applied-the surface being
damp or there being too much turpen.
tine or too much drier.
But, nine times out of ten. the
trouble is caused by adulterated
white lead.
To avoid all such trouble. every
HORSEPOWER should know in a general
way, when a surface is in proper con-
dition to receive paint, what kind of
primer and finishing coats different
surfaces require, and how to avoid
adulteration in materials.
A complete painting guide, includ-
ing a book of color schemes, specif.
cations for all kinds of painting work,
and an instrument for detecting adul.
t%erations in painting materials. with
directions for using it, can be had

guarantee Of purity and quality.

Defects in Bill Pointed Out.

That the new tariff bill Is open to
serious objection because of its COM
plete failure to cut down the savage
duty imposed on all articles of wear
ing apparel, both for men and women,
is. not a thing which should be con-
cealed in the interests Of party. So
far as the three schedules mentioned
are concerned, the committee has not
fulfilled the pledge of the Republican
platform, and that section of the bill
manifestly is open to these objections
which President Taft before his in
a%uguration declared would result in a
veto"
This is an extract from an analysis
Of the new tariff bill being made by
the Chicago Tribune. The three sched-
ules referred to are the wooden, the
cotton and the silk. There was a
fourth which the statement goes on to
set out helped make up the big four
that under the Dingley bill were out
rageously high, namely, the schedule of
iron, steel and the manufactures there
of. Senator Quay at the time served
notice that If this schedule did not go
as he had fixed it, he would prevent all
tariff legislation. Mr.. Aldrich similar
ly got what he wanted for the other
three schedules. In the present bill
considerable reductions have been
made in the iron and steel schedule,
but the others go untouched.

When the announcement was made
several months ago that Mr.. Taft
would use an automobile during his
term as President, much rivalry de-
veloped among the leading manufac-
turers for the honor of selling him a
car and the public watched with in
terest to see what Mr.. Taft's choice
would be. The knowing ones predicted
that the White Steamer would be Sc
lected and they pointed out that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had used White Steam
ers for two years at his summer home
at Oyster Bay and had recommended
this make to Mr.. Taft as the most de-
sirable.
This prediction proved correct, al
though Mr.. Taft did not rely solely
on Mr.. Roosevelt's recommendation,
but, with his usual thoroughness, de-
termined to have an investigation
made of all the principal makes. Ac-
cordingly, he asked several officers of
the War Department to look into the
matter for him, and they tested many
makes of cars, visited a number Of
factories so that they might see what
materials were used, and, finally, they
investigated the records of the differ
ent types of cars in public contests
and in private service.

Protectlon Breeds Proteetlon.

The Journal of Commerce of New
York tells of a California fruit grower
who, asking for more and higher
duties on his product, said that it
was protectionism that made protec-
ton necessary to the fruit industry.
Telling of the duties he desired on
foreign fruits, he said, getting these,
the fruit growers would still be out
and injured because of the greatly in
creased cost Of the things that fruit
growers must purchase. The Journal
of Commerce concludes it's discussion
of the text presented thus:
"As demands tariff because an
other has it and must get high prices
because he has to pay them, SO no one
Is willing to give up any duty that
helps him unless or until the others
do it in the same or a greater meas
ure, and everybody is afraid of hav-
ing the tangle of duties touched lest
something give way. AS soon as any
change is proposed the idiotic cry is
raised In brainless quarters, Don't
touch it; let well enough alone If
1t is in prosperous times, prosperity
will be destroyed; if it is in time of
depression, recovery will be prevented.

Salary upIift Checked.

Even though the sundry civil appro.
priation bill carries a presidential sal
airy item Of $4,000. Mr.. Taft will be
little or no better provided for in this
respect than Mr.. Roosevelt has been
for a year OF two. In this time the
president has had at his disposal $685.
600 a year, additional to his discre-
ton, for travelling expenses. Now the
$4,000 travel fund is merged into the
salary from which the president must
meet his transportation costs. So
fails the whole movement for salary
increases among high federal officials,
which had gained such promising
Roadway earlier in the session. 1t is
just as we'll, considering the low state
of the public treasury and the hard
times among taxpayers.-Springfield

TAX WEALTH; NOT POVERTY.
Vital Flaw in Tariff Bill Introduced by
the Republicans.


The Payne tariff bill does not tax
coffee. 1t taxes tea eight and nine
cents a pound. Il continues On So
gar the tax of nearly two cents a
pound, which Wayne MacVeagh, who
was attorney general in the Garfield
cabinet, calls Infamous" because it
often costs a poor laborer more than
a multi-millionaire.
There are some advantages in a
taxed breakfast table. You know what
you pay, and what for; and the gov
eminent gets the money, not the pro-
tected interests.
The government surely needs the
money if it is to continue it's present
policy of extravaganza. Take the war
costs alone. For 1910 Chairman Taw-
ney of the appropriations committee
says these will be: Army, $101,197.-
470; navy, $780, 81 ,199; pensions,
$160, sos, 90S; military academy, 2, $751;
SCI; Notifications, $~8,170,111; interest
and miscellaneous, $115, 999 1922. Total,
$525, 742,301
A ten-cent tax on 1000, 000, 600
pounds of coffee would produce $780,
100000 A 25-cent-a-pound tax on
115,000,000 pounds of tea would pro-
duce $28, $50, 900; and a tax of ~
cents a pound on $500, 100000 pounds
of sugar would produce 1898, 100000,
or in all $527, 500, O00-enough to pay
our war bills-unless people stopped
using tea, coffee and sugar, as many
would.
1t would cost each average family
about $50 extra-but they would take
more interest in war expenditures.
The present plan costs them even
more than that, for besides the $50
to the government each family pays
toll to private pockets.
How much better than either tax
ing the breakfast table or taxing near
ly all the necessities of life, as at
present, would it be TO adopt Mr.. Mac
Veagh's suggestion and make "colos-
sal incomes and colossal accumula-
lions of surplus wealth" pay generous
ly through graduated income and in
heritance taxes toward the costs of
| government!
Tax wealth, not poverty

Steamer, except that his car has the
United States coat-of-arms painted
either door. In other words,
when we make a car for the Presi-
dent of the United States there is no
in which we can make it any
better than the car which you, u
anybody else, can purchase from US.
Some of those writing to me
about Mr.. Taft's car say that, al
though they are very DESTROYS OF
having a car like Mr.. Taft's, they
are afraid that such a car is some
what larger and more expensive than
they desire. In reply to such letters,
l point out that our Model 90 20
horsepower car is exactly like u
40 horsepower model, except as re.
CARDS the size of the different parts.
The principle Of construction is ex-
actly the same and the smaller a
possesses all the desirable qualities
of our larger model. In other words,
one can secure an exact duplicate OF
Mr.. Taft's car for $4,000, or a car OF
the same qualities, but of smaller d.
mansions, for only $4,000. Judging by
the demand for White CARS, a good pro-
portion of those desiring to purchase
automobiles are quite content to trust
President Taft's judgment as to the
best and most desirable make"

VALUE OF THE HUMBLE HEN.
Figures Make One Think BIddy Has
Not Been Properly Appreciated.

The hens admirers grow. Constant
Is their increase. The first official act
Of Nebraska's new labor commissioner
was a formal appreciation of this
pillar Of society. According TO Mr..
Maupin, this fowl brought SIS, O00, 900
worth of eggs to market in Nebraska
last year. The commissioner Is unpre-
pared to estimate the value of her off
spring in the way of fried chicken.
She laid 1900, 600, 900 eggs in 1908.
Placed end to end these eggs would
reach around the earth and overlap
1900 miles. They would make an
egg walk three feet wide reaching
from Omaha to Ogden. With ham
they would furnish breakfast for 600,-
000,00 people and make an omelet
containing 652, 900 cubic feet. The hen
was worth mor to Nebraska than the
boosted wheat crop of $26, 00O, 900; al
most twice as much as the oat crop of
SIG, 10000; 20 times as much as the
barley crop; 20 times as much as the
rye crop, and one-third as much as the
much-talked-of crop of corn. The COM
missioner believes Nebraska needs
another seal. Is he not right in think
ing that upon that seal no figure so
well demands recognition as the ever
patient, busy and unpretentious hen.
