they do not fear work. and they have
not lost ambition.
or course this movement can not be
made by regiments or battalions, but
each case must be considered by itself
and each may require different meth
DDS. But the beginnings that have
been made with this Back to the
Soiy' movement have proven eminently
satisfactory to the people who encour
aged the movers, and to those who
moved. For the latter were really glad
to get away from the city: glad to get
away from the regular rent days and
the hand-to mouth living, glad to get
solid bottom under their Feet and con-
tent to stay where the future prom
ised profits for labor expended.

PARALLEL ISSUES.
IDayennort Tines.l

There is a certain parallel between
the movement in England to place a
tax on lands and the movement in the
United States to retain the ownership
of sources of mineral wealth and of
water power and to regulate large cor
porations. The purpose in both coun-
tries is to insure to the average man
a fair opportunity and to take away
from aggregated wealth, so far as pos
sible. the power to do that which is
inimical to society as a whole.
In England this movement takes the
form of placing restrictions upon the
ownership of large tracts of lands,
much of which may be unproductive
while if people were given the oppor-
tunity to use it many thousands more
people could live better than they now
live. OF course, in England, the OPP
ponents of the tax have not used the
word "socialistic" to denounce the
movement. But the tax, if placed up
on land as proposed, will compel the
owners of large estates to make those
estates productive in order that the
taxes the more easily may be paid.
The government income thus derived
will make less burdensome other taxes
which fail on the great majority. The
whole movement is an attempt to re-
strict the privileges of an aristocracy
based upon land which has been hand
ed down thru many generations from
the feudal times.
In this country conditions have been
such that the land has not passed into
the hands Of number o. owners of
large estates. Large aggre gations of
wealth have been invested in corpora
tions and these corporations CORE
spond in power and influence to the
land owners of England. The house of
lords in England is hereditary and is
made up largely Of the owners Of the
large estates. In this country not a
few senators are wealthy men whose
sympathies are largely with the cor
porations.

The Americans Of the lowest intel

class Of any other ~eople; but this
prodigaltty Of wore. is partially bal.

some higher regions. in which a few
phrases Of current slang are made to
do the whole duty Of exchange Of

WHAT AILs woNsER?

The Traer Star-Clipper strongly en-
dorses the candidacy for senator ir the
Tama-Benton district of Asa L. Ames.
It asserts that he IS one of the most
public spirited citizens in the county
and that in all the movements for the
betterment of the agricultural class he
has been at the front. He is further
described as a ready speaker. good
mixer, a hustler in whatever he under
takes, a gentleman of high character
and a man Of education and ability.
We read the Star-Clippers article on
Mr.. Ames thru twice so as to be sure
that we had missed no point it's editor
made in Mr.. Ames behalf and yet,
when we had finished, it seemed that
something was lacking. We could not
for the moment, think what It was.
nor did it come to US until We read an
article in the Dysart Reporter also
strongly endorsing Mr.. Anes' candf-
dacy. The Reporter, after mentioning
all the good qualities possessed by Mr..
Ames and to which the Star-C1ipper
had called attention. as above, con-
Guided It's reference to him by saying,
Mr.. Ames Is republican" This last
fact is considered of considerable inn
portance by many republicans. Air.
Ames aspires to nomination in a re-
publican primary. II nominated he win
rely for success at the polls on repub-
lican votes. He is supporter OF re-
publican principles or he win not be
nominated. Heels supporter Of the
national republican administration, OF,
even tho he should be nominated, defeat
would be his portion in November. The
Herald comedies Mr.. Ames' estimable
qualities as man. It endorses the
good words said OF him by the Star
Clipper. It would suggest to its
esteemed Traer contemporary that
when 1t makes reference to prospective
candidates for legislative candidates
living in its home town It says some
thing of their republication. A host
of republicans who are not particularly
hidebound will not resent little in
formation along that particular line.
The Dysart Reporter in this instance
covered the topic much better than its
Traer neighbor and we congratulate it
on its scoop.

VIOLATION OF DUTY.

Notwithstanding he has given a suffici-
emit bond? A statute of Kansas makes
1t an offense for a county treasurer to
deposit public funds in any bank other
that such as may be designated by
the board of county commissioners.
Claiming that the banks thus designat-
ed would not give bonds sufficient in
amount to justify him in placing the
public moneys therein, the county
treasurer of Finney county proceeded
to deposit them in a bank of his own
choosing. Proceedings were instituted
by the county attorney to enjoin such
act. On behalf of defendant it was
claimed that injunction was not the
proper remedy and that other adequate
remedies were open on his bond in case
Of any loss Of funds. The Kansas SUI
preme court says, however. that "the
state has an interest in the will OF the
legislature being carried out, and need
not las an individual plaintiff must,
show grounds of fearing more specific
injury" Judgment for defendant was
reversed and the case remanded to the
lower cour. with direction to issue the
injunction. For full report Of the case.

CAUSE OF BREAK
IN STOCK MARKETS

New York, June 1.-The weeks
stock market was dominated by the
governments injunction proceedings
against the Western trunk liue rate
increases. The speculatoiE saw in this
a threat toward earnings adequate to
maintain dividends a curtallment OF
expenditures for improvements, re-
duction OF working force. an Interrupt
ton to the sale Of railroad bonds and
an indefinite list Of Interior minor con
scquences.
The fact that speculative buying of
stocks for a month had been based on
the expected rate increases aggravated
he effect OF the incident Prices fell
abruptly TO the lowest level OF the
year. The rapidity of the decline In
vited to some new demand and a re-
bound In prices but the later break
was of even greater violence.
