How Tarin Increases Prices.

How TariH Increases Prices.
Increase in food prices all over the
United States has served to impress
little lesson in tariff on the people
of Detroit, says a New York Herald
correspondent. While commodities of
all sorts, most of which are heavily
protected, have become more and more
expensive on this side of the river, in
Windsor, just across the river, in Can
ada, the cost of living has not yet de-
parted from the normal. 1t is % per
cent cheaper to live in Canada than in
the United States, and the tariff, the
pressure of which has been more keen
ly felt since the Payne-Aldrich "revis-
ion" is declared largely responsible.
Here is table of specimen prices
in Windsor and Detroit:

Drin and Nm planting.

1t Is in the opinion of some corn
growers that corn planted in drills will
make larger growth and yield than that
which is planted in hills, but more
work will be required in cultivating
and hoeing the same. Best results are
obtained where the drill attachment is
used in a two-horse planter.
Use !, bushel of seed for six acres.
which will make plant every eight
to twelvS inches in the rows A weed
er will aid very much in controlling
the weeds where corn is drilled. Some
growers of drilled corn plant two ker-
nels every eighteen to twenty-four
inches and hoe the crop.

Is Mr.. TAFT orieniaIized.

Berlin Vorwaerts insists lat Pre- T.
dent Taft, like celebrated British adj
ministrators who have spent years in
the far East, has imbibed the ideas of
the orient, and believes in benevolent
despotism as the ideal form of gov
eminent.
Lord Curzon and Lord Cromer, for
example, says the Vorwaerts, have lost
all idea of popular suffrage, and re-
gard the masses of the people as ma
terial to be experimental upon. This
losing touch with democratic ideas of
popular sovereignty is peculiar to
those who have held positions of au-
thority in the far East.
Therefore, argues the writer, the
years which Mr. Taft spent as the des
potic administrator of the Philippines,
where he demonstrated his ability and
achieved great results, have undoubt-
eddy untitled him to conduct public Of
fee as it would be conducted by a
statesman elected to represent the
wishes of constituency.
1t is true that the Taft corporation
tax plan, the Taft central bank plan
the Taft postal savings plan are all d.
rected toward concentration of au-
thority DIT Washington. And the $780,
100000 Panama canal job is to be put
entirely into Mr.. Taft's hands.
Are all these things signs that the
President is orientalized?
At least the suggestion is interest
ing purely in it's scientific aspect, if for
no other reason.
The evident desire of the national
administration to exercise many func
lions that trespass on State rights and
the tendency to substitute executive
for legislative power are unfortunate
The Journal believes they should be
curbed
But, if these things are the result
of the GENERALIZATION of Judge Taft,

Winter Heating.

The heating of the farm home In
winter is an important consideration.
The farm dwelling can, and should
be. just as warm and comfortable in
winter as the city home. Many farm
ers have their own wood lots, and
hence the cost of fuel is only nominal.
Farmers who use coal have a smaller
fuel bill than anybody else, since they
do their own hauling on return trips
for less money.
Whether fuel is cheap or dear it
pays to keep the dwelling warm In
cold weather Cold rooms are damp
and uncomfortable. They are the
source of many winter diseases and
the doctor bill for one case of sick
ness will pay the fuel bill for heating
an entire house all winter.
Where the farmer can afford 1t, a
hot water system in the dwelling is
the cheapest to operate and gives the
most even and agreeable heat for day
and night The water in the pipes and
radiators never loses all it's heat, even
when the fire goes out at night, hence
the rooms are mild and comfortable
in the morning Steam is not so ex.
pensive to install as hot water and
most women find difficulty in manag
ing the furnace.
Where stoves are used for heating
the dwelling and the fuel expenses is
an item. much heat can be saved by
using long stovepipe and running IL
through the wall into an adjoining
room. Sleeping rooms In the upper
story of the house can be comfort
ably heated by running the pipe up
through the ceiling and through the
sleeping room. BY means of regis
ter in the floor the room above a
large stove can be heated.

Lncome Tax Publicity.

Trees:..v that the new law OF the Uni

publicity in respect to ali the returns
made under the law, both original and
corrected, and he is entirely right.
No one familiar with the text of the
Federal statute nor uniformed In regard
to the discussion which preceded its
enactment can doubt the correctness
of the Presidents opinio The law
means publicity and the iaspNblic made
editorial comment upon that fact at
the time the income tax law was pend
ing in Congress- The intent is that
full data as TO the gross income. the
total expenses and the net income IF
every corporation IN the United States
shall be open to public inspection.
The fact that congress so worded
the appropriation for the enforcement
OF the statute as not TO provide for the
expenses involved in classification Of
this interesting information will not
c-ntribute to complete secrecy even II
a deficiency appropriation is denied

returns Of any particular corporation

The Fact About ship Subsidies,

The statement that the foreign com
merce of the United States is stifled
for lack of ships" is sheer nonsense,
and nobody knows it's nonsensicality
better than the newspapers and pub
lie speakers that make it.
Less than 5 per cent of American
manufactures is exported. The
American tariff baron does not desire
export trade He makes no effort to
get it, Our vast consular service, with
its costly and intricate system of trade
reports from all over the world, is of
little service to anyone outside of the
steel trust, the harvester trust and
a limited few other monopolies that
export heavily.
All the rest of our manufacturers
prefer to sell ten dollars worth of
goods for home consumption rather
than twenty dollars worth for export.
The ridiculous tariff enables them to
obtain higher prices ar home than
abroad And as long as the tariff of
fers its big bonus for trading at home,
export business will not develop.
What is the use of substituting ships
which will have nothing to carry,
when idle freighters are lying in every
seaport, and ocean freights are SO
scarce that such steamers as Senator
Lodge sold to the Panama Canal Com
mission for $750,000 are to be picked
up for less than one-tenth that sum?
