The Third District.

Fremont Tribune: Republican can
didates for congress in the Third dis
triCt are backward about coming for
there should be situation in which
man like Mr.. Latta should be con-
coded to be difficult to defeat is not
in the interest of legislative efficiency.
If he were kept in congress for fifty
years he would not prove a capable
legislator, for he lacks the qualifca-
tions for that kind of work. This
is not be construed to mean that he
is not a good citizen, for he will go
as far as the next one, according to all
reports, to relieve a sick or distressed
neighbor. 1t is to be construed as
meaning only that Mr.. Latta's quail
fiCations as a legislator extend no
further than that he can provide
TAT nocketbook for making a campaign.
There are not ten men in the district
WHO would be willing to say that
we're it not for his money bags Mr..
i.atta would never have been thought
of as a candidate for congress. Is
this not true? Then when we reflect
little further we are forced to admit
it is supremely absurd in these days
to elect man on his money qualfi-
cations alone. For we have been
doing some Boosting about legislating
against the pernicious practice of scat
tering campaign funds abroad for the
election of candidates. We have been
citing that as evidence of our polit-
We have a law on the books forbid
ding a congressional candidate spend
ing more than $500, yet Mr.. Latta's
candidacy rests on the fact that he
can spend many times that sum with
out being pinched. We doubt if even
years ago cost fifteen or twenty times
that amount
Since Mr. Latta has only his peck
ct book for his platform, republicans
should have candidate who can
make stumpmg contest against him.
They need one who can take the ros.
trum and give the plain facts in
convincing way, that the voters may
understand them. The democrats eX-
peCt to rely on the maxim that money
talks" but republicans, not likely to
be able to cope with them in this
particular manner, should have a can
didate who can talk. OF course his
republicanism must also be of the
progressive kind.

Will Serve Double Purpose.
Washington, April 2.-Industries
claiming that a large tariff is neces-
sary to permit them to do business
will be confronted, when the tariff is
next revised, with their returns under
the corporation tax. If their state
ments are found to be true the re-
turns will be accepted as evidence that
a high tariff is needed but if they are
not true it will discredit their testi-
mony and result in drastic action.
This was one of the chief complaints
during the taking of testimony by the
house ways and means committee by
manufacturers asking revision upward
in the last congress and the fact that
President Taft and his advisers saw
in the corporation tax this particular

A PRIZE FOR BOY FARMERS.
Senator Gore Encouraging the Raising
of Corn in Oklahoma.


Washington, April 2.-Senator Gore
of Oklahoma made an offer recently
to pay the expenses of trip to Wash,
ington next winter for the Oklahoma
boy who raised the largest crop of
corn on an acre of ground. The con.
ditions are that the boy must be under
l6 years old and must have done all
the work himself
The senator announced today that
he will have between 5000 and 1000
competitors for the prize. The de-
partment of agriculture has promised
TO furnish information about the grow
ing of corn for the benefit of the
boys who ask for it and most of the
young farmers believe they can in
crease the yield if they have scien-
titiC advice.
The original offer read for boys,
but the senator has two letters from
girls asking permission to take part
in the contest. They are Mamie Ten
nant of Yukon and Anna Morrison Of
OChelata. The senator wrote them to-
day that they would be considered as
contestants and given the same
chance as the boys, also that he would
be as glad to see girl win as one
of the boys.
In similar contest in South Caro-
lima last year boy raised 1855 bushels
of corn on an acre of land.
