because of uncertainty OF what the

Then we come to this item which
stands by itself:
More ficeholders.
The addition in the last eight years
of 1925 federal off1ceholders to the
payrolls of the republic, at an increase
of expense to the people of more than
seventy million dollars. This item
helps to explain whv it is costing the
Taft administration more than twice
as much to run the government than
it did Cleveland.
How does this rlotous extravaganza
effect the treasury? is asked. These
figures tell us:
Since June 80. 1907, the total bal
ance in the general fund has dropped
from S272, 061 ,445.47 to $50, 003, 55761.
With an average daily deficit eating
its way into this remaining eighty-two
million dollars, but a short time can
elapse before the government will
have to sell more bonds TO secure
more money to meet more extrava-
gances. Outstanding bond issues are
national debts.
How does all this concern the aver
age citizen? This is how:
The per capita appropriation by con.
gress jumped from Sc in 1890 to
S1240 in 1909. Since the government
raises the bulk of its revenue at the
custom houses and internal revenue
offices. you. Mr.. Reader. are paying
for Republican extravaganza in in
creased prices.

self powerful enough to prevent a
probe by congress. Just how it was
able to protect itself from an inves-
tigation the writer does not pretend
to know All that is known is that
nine resolutions providing for probe
of this thieving trust have been intro
duced in this congress, and every one
of them has been chloroformed. The
brother of President Taft was the at
torney for the sugar trust, and Attor
ney General WickerSham was former
ly law partner of this brother. The
attorney general says the sugar trust
should not be investigated, and the
president sustains this view.

ceipts will fall off from now on" said

Possibilities of the Corn Crop.

The average yield of corn in the
United States is between % and 80
bushels per acre. A boy in South Car
DINA last summer raised 1929 bush
els ON an acre, a boy in Mississippi
raised 147 bushels on an acre, and a
boy in Arkansas 122 bushels. For
these remarkable achievements the
secretary Of agriculture has given the
three boys diplomas for special pro-
ficiency in agricultural pursuits. These
diplomas, says Secretary Wilson, are
unique, as no boys ever before receiv-
ed similar recognition. These boys
have, in fact, performed a notable
service to their respective states by
the demonstration. They have shown
that the cotton states can by skillful
cultivation produce enormous yields of
corn, and corn is crop they should
produce largely.
A good corn crop means much to any
state or country in the way of bread
and meat and live stock. The results
accomplished by these three boys may
have the effect of encouraging the cot
ton planters to raise more corn, for
which their soil and climate are shown
to be admirably adapted.

Democratic Presidential Material.

The Springfield Republican, an in

recently:
"If 10 democrats, we'll Informed con-

they would conclude their delibera-
lions with the public statement that

ed to warrant a choice, yet they would
privately agree that the governor of
Ohio is the most promising democrat
at present within the field of vision"
Commenting on the foregoing, the
New York World, sometimes demo
cratic, says:
"a promising democrat and an ex-
cellent democrat is Hon. Judson Har-

is general in & youngest state.
The state constitution of Oklahoma
reserved to cities the initiative and
referendum, it armed them with a
sword of defense against political
gangs" which had been footing and
plundering them under the old system
of maladministration. The trainers of
the state constitution seemed to be
conscious of the evils and dangers
surrounding municipal franchises when
they conferred upon the people the
right to create free cities, declaring:
No municipal corporation shall ever
grant. extend OF renew a franchise,
without the approval Of a majority Of
the qualified voters residing within Its
corporate limits And the voters, oy
4 % per centum petition, may demand
the opportunity to vote upon the grant
ing, extension or renewal of a fran
chise. thereby forcing to an issue

may be in need, but which municipal
officers, for improper reasons, may be
trying to withhold
In the last Is months four OF the
largest cities in Observation-Disclosures,
Tulsa, Shawnee and Enid-have de-
clared themselves to be free cities.
All of them adopted the commission
form of government. The establish
ment OF commission government at
Shawnee has been delayed temporarily
by litigation In each instance the
new charters of these free cities pro-
vide for the recall, whereby corrupt
or incompetent officials may be voted
out of Office. Oklahoma City. the
largest city in the state, has elected
board of freeholders, all favorable
to commission government, to draft
a charter. Muskogee, Guthrie and
Hobart are preparing to do likewise. |
The demand by citizens for change
has been so insistent that in several |
instances craftsmanship was wholly |
swept away and city administrations
with from year to two years to serve |
were compelled to retire from Office !
by the adoption of the commission |
form of government. This spirit of |
independence and nonpartisanship was
again manifested IN the election OF a |
nonpartisan board of commissioners. |
There never was a moro popular /
municipal movement. Few are OPP |
posed to it except those who would |
prostitute public interests for private |
gain. The bosses" cry out in despair |
against the Commission plan" of mu-
nicipal government just like they do |
against direct plurality primary legis- |
lation. They do not like to have their |
clutches removed from graft" They |
do not want the people to be given |
such direct control over city govern
ment as the Commission plan" con
fers and over nominations as direct |
primary legislation confers.
But even the opposition of the
bosses" to such legislation is very
useful it proves its absolute need.

New Federal Lfouor Law.

-NCH Law.
On the first day of the year drastic
federal law governing the interstate
shipment of liquor went into effect.
Hereafter all consignments of alcoholic
beverages transported by common car.
riers from one state into another must
not only bear the real name of the
consignee, but must carry a label ex-
plicitly stating the nature Of the con-
tents of the box or package.
The primary argument urged in be-
half of this enactment was that it was
necessary to prevent express compa-
MES and railroads from carrying wills
Ky into prohibition territory under
fictitious expectations, marked with the
names of imaginary persons. Under
this system, these parcels, sent G. o.
D., might be secured by any individual
with a thirst who would pay the price
and the charges, but who was unwill-
ing to have the truth about his pur-
chase known.
Whether prohibition is regarded as
wise or unwise, this practice was clear
Iy an invasion of the right of local self
government. Congress has done well
to decree that it shall be stopped. 1t
is also probable that the innovation

A dust covered farmer mounted on

years old.
We discussed the question whether
we should go home or go on toward
Richmond and endeavor to get a
glimpse of General Butler. whom Con-
federate boys at that time regarded
as sort of monster.
We started at a brisk walk along
the railroad, with our unsold stock
of Richmond papers under our arms.
AS we turned a curve near the Swift
creek bridge we saw, about a mile be-
yond, a sight that greatly excited US.
The air was full of black smoke,
through which we saw an occasional
flash of flames. Presently we came
close enough to discover that the source
Of the flames was a great pile of tele-
graph poles and railroad ties.
