WOULD REPEAL
The DRAWBACK
OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE
AMERICAN SOCIETY OF EQUITY
CALLS ATTENTION TO THE IN
JUSTICE DONE FARMERS BY
THE DRAWBACK ON WHEAT.

Equity Farm News: Where are we
at on the supposed tariff on wheat
shipped from Canada to the United
States? Il is not generally supposed
that the farmers of the states are
competing with the Canadian farmers
in the open wheat market, but such,
however. appears TO be the case after
studying the puzzle picture, or the
wheat drawback clause of the United
States tariff laws.
Under the present law we are sup
posed 10 believe that a duty OF 25 cents
per bushel must be paid on all wheat
that Is shipped from Canada to the
states, If such wheat is to be placed
on the market in the states. But the
question now is asked: us the wheat
not shipped to the states for market
without the 25 cents being paid?" Let
us look into the picture and see how
it can be done. First, the United States
millers can buy the Canadian wheat at
rs cents less per busheI than the home
wheat This then they can have ship
ped to the United States under bond,
which without a time limit must be
accounted for in flour shipped back to
Canada. Now the Canadian wheat. of
course, has lost it's identity as soon as
it gets into the hands Of the miller;
what, then, will prevent the miller
from turning this wheat over 30 other
grain dealers, to be resold, even to
some OF us farmers. for seed, and at
some later day, when the wheat can
be had here at a satisfactory price to
the miller, he will ship -four from it
into Canada to equal the amount that
should have been shipped from the
Canadian wheat, thus balancing the
ledger and relieving himself OF his
bond. Again we ask, Where are we
at?"
If this situation is not properly met.
it means that the wheat market of the
United States will positively be gov
erned by the Canadian wheat, without
even giving the Canadian farmer any
Of the benefit whatever.

Creaaer Explains Deal.

Muskogee, Ohio. - In reply to
charges made by Jake l.. Hamon at
McAlester, that Congressman c. e.
Creager had attempted under the
guise of loans to obtain $4,000 from
j. F. McMurray, Mr.. Creager gave out
the following statement:
Before leaving Muskogee in No
vember | tried to trade certain prop
erty for "a acres of farm land worth
$4,000, agreeing to pay the difference,
which amounted to $4,000. | found
that | could not meet the require
ments of the transaction, so | made
application to the state for loan from
the school fund. In December, after
my arrival at Washington, l received
a letter from Guthrie denying my re-
quest.
"A few days later McMurray told
me that he had the necessary money
and could make the loan, but ques-
toned the propriety of our entering
into a deal of this kind. This was
the first time that the matter was
brought to my attention in that light,
and it was dropped then and there.
Mr.. McMurray never loaned me the
money"

Murray contracts with the Choctaw

sale of tribal property that contained
rich mineral deposits. Senator Gore
told the committee that when he
frowned on the bribery offer, Harmon
said the amount might be raised to
$4,000
Jake L. Hamon, accused by Senator
T. P. Gore, with having offered him a
$4,000 bride to influence legislation
in congress for the sale of Oklahoma

the Investigating committee.
Hamon entered a general denial of
Senator Cores charges that he of
fered the senator $4,000 or any other
amount, to put through" the $3O,OOO,-
900 land deal. He denied being in
terested in the McMurray contracts
and said he was in Washington at the
time specified in the interest of Gov.
G. n Haskell of Oklahoma.
Congressman G. e. Creager of Okla
homa on cross-examination previously
had told further details of his expert
with the attempted $30,000,000 In

with being promoter for j. z. McMur-
ray, who held contracts for the sale
of the land on ten per cent. basis.

Parade of The Knights.
The grand parade of Tuesday was
the largest parade of knights Templar
ever held. The preparations were
elaborate and Michigan boulevard was
most deliberately decorated. The sir
knights formed in line of march on
the boulevard south of Thirty-first
street, and signal to move was given
by the guns of Battery B, l. N. G., the
detachment for the purpose being
composed of Knights Templar all of
whom are members of the battery.
The same detachment fired the salute
to the grand master.
Marching northward in Michigan
boulevard, the parade passed, near
Hubbard court, beneath an entrance
arch built in the form of an ancient
battlement with it's towers and tur-
rets. This was intended to represent
the entrance to the city, and as the

cANADA's NEW TOY.

The germ of the Canadian navy is
rapidly developing into a lively or
ganism. The cruiser Rainbow, 1T Is
announced, will soon start from Ports
mouth for the Pacific coast of Canada
after having been thoroughly over
hauled and inspected under the au-
thority of the British Admiralty. The
cruiser Niobe will leave Portsmouth
for Halifax. Each warship will carry
a full complement of British officers,
who will serve in the Canadian navy
for two years and a skeleton" crew,
Of which the members will be engaged
for five years, says Toronto Globe. 1t
Is not expected that it will be at all
difficult to obtain the necessary OFF,
GERS and men in Canada when it be-
comes necessary to enlist them. 1t
is interesting to note that the first
proposal to construct drydock of
large dimensions under the legisla-
ton of last session has been made by
the English firm of Vickers & Maxim,
which has filed plans at Ottawa for
works at Montreal covering fifty acres
and costing two and a half million
dollars. The construction OF torpedo
destroyers has long been a speciality
with this celebrated firm, but far more
important for this country is the build
ing and repairing of steel vessels of
large size. The introduction of such a
plant will mark a new stage in the
evolution of shipbuilding in Canada.

THE trouble with the automobile

as was anticipated. The farmers find
that the cost of keeping them in re-
pair and operation is more than the
cost of keeping horses to perform the
same work, and while there was, for
a time, tendency among the farmers
to invest in the machines, the demand
for cars from this class of buyers has

say we will not again sell to the farm

THE OIL OF ENCOURAGEMENT
Some Advice Concerning the Virtue
of Freely Awarding Praise Where
it 10 Due.

Don't be afraid to praise people,
Charles Battell Loomis writes in
Smiths magazine. 1t is all very well
to say that it hurts boy or man
or a woman to praise; there may be
those who do their best work without
encouragement. but let us remember
that nearly all of us who live on this
earth are human being. and human
beings work best when encouraged.
1t is a great mistake not to tell
people when you are satisfied with
them If the cook sets before you
@ dinner fit for a king tell her so.
Don't be too lofty to praise the Of
fee boy if his work is commendable.
Tell him so.
1t is harder for some people to
give praise than 1t Is for them to
give money. Many a generous man

THIRD OF IOWA BABIES DEAD
Health Board Calls Conference of Ply
scians to Check MaIadies-One
Town Has Forty I'LL.

Des Moines, Ia. That one-third
of the babies in Iowa under one
year old have died since the hot
weather set in was the alarming con-
dition revealed by DIR. G. FL. Sumner,
secretary OF the state board of health
Doctor Sumner attributes the unusu-
al death rate to four causes: Cholera
infantum, infantile paralysis, poor milk
and improper care. According to sta
tistics, the first-named disease Is the
worst in the history of the state. No
section seems to be free from 1t, and
infants are dying by the score.
Doctor Sumner has called a special
convention of physicians from all over
Iowa to discuss means to prevent ia
talities.
Infantile paralysis is becoming alarm
ing in many parts of the state. There
are now more than forty cases in Ma
son City, and a number of deaths have
resulted there.
