INCREASED COST OF SALES.

Colonel w. P. Hepburn, who is
spending a few days in Iowa City,
mentioned to the Republican there a
cause of increased cost of living
which has been totally ignored in all
discussions on the subject, but which
it is apparent is a vital factor. That
is the increased cost of sales. The
Republican says of it:
II costs $900.000,000 annually just
to make sales between the wholesal-
ers and the retailers of this country.
Pretty big figure. isn't it? Sounds al
most as If it included the cost of the
goods, or the freight charges. But
it is nothing except the cost Of max
ing the sales. There are 100000 tray
cling statesmen in the United States,
and they cost in salary and expenses
$4,000 each at the lowest estimate.
Multiply the figures and you have
S900000,000. 1t used to be much sim
pier. There wasn't this cost Further,
we didn't use to have delivery wagons,
and Colonel Hepburn states that the
sum of s1.700,000 is spent annually in
the city of Washington merely for the
delivery of parcels.

TAFT on the Tariff.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: 1t was her
aided by the Associated Press and
other news service, that President
Taft. in his letter for the Congress
sional Campaign Text book, had,
practically, gone back on his Winona
speech endorsing the tariff and that
he would not attempt any further
defense OF the Payne-Aldrich measure.
The Hawk Eye did not take stock in
this report; it was SO unlike Mr.. TAFT.
Nothing in his public career warrant
ed the assumption that he would re-
verse himself in this or any other
question of principle. Mr.. Taft is not
la gutter. Genial. patient and willing
TO make concessions to gain vital
object. he is none the less firm and
unswerving in his adherence to what
he believes is right. He said in his
svinona speech that the new tariff
was the best the Republican party
has ever enacted. He withdraws moth
ing from that statement in his let
ter to the chairman of the congression-
al committee. In truth he strength
ems it by adducing facts and fig
ures, showing the preponderance OF
downward revision over the increases,
and points to the reduction made in
654 numbers and an increase in 220.
| the latter being chiefly liquors, wines,
silks and luxuries. To emphasize his
views on these points, he quotes at
| length his statement given the public
a. the time he signed the bill and
clinches his argument by pointing to
actual results under the new tariff
thus again demonstrating that an
ounce of fact is worth pound OF
/ theory.
The friends Of protection have
every reason to be greatly pleased
with this latest expression of the
| President upon the tariff. He has
taken no backward step; on the CON
trary, he has greatly strengthened
/ his position and removed all reason
able excuse for doubt or misrepre
sentation. The letter is worthy of 0
4 careful reading. 1t is a strong cam
pa.gn document, which should have
4 he widest circulation.

"PIckETlNGy is UNLAWFUL.

A recent court decision at Wash
ington declares that an organize ton
that deprives men not belonging to
it of the opportunity to work and
thereby earn bread for their families
is doing an illegal act. The decision
is the outgrowth of strike whereby
labor unions placed guards about a
factory whose duty it was to prevent
any one from going to work. The
court holds that men have a perfect
right to refuse to work and they have
perfect right to do this in an organ
lied capacity, but they have no right
to say to those not thus affiliated that
they may not enter the place and per
form labor uninterrupted If they Sc

SERUM FOR lNFANTILE PARALY
cIc

DR.. Simon Flexner and Paul A
Lewis of the Rockefeller Institute al
New Yorl. announce partial success
with their experiments on monkeys
which have been inoculated with the
virus of infantile paralysis. These
experts say that they have secured q
serum which, in some cases, prevents
the development of the dread disease
and In others effects a cure within q
short time.
The August number of Pediatrics is
devoted to number of special art
icles on this disease, in which 1t is
agreed generally that it is danger
ously infectious. 1t is probable that
a movement to have health author
tiles quarantine it will be made in the
near future. At Springfield, Mass,
the opening of the public schools has
been postponed for fear of spread
of infantile paralysis, which has been
epidemic there.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1910-08-31

until a few weeks ago, the population
has increased 22.6 per cent in the
decade. In the same ten years dis
titled spirits has increased in con-
sumption to the extent of 44.9 per
cent
And yet, in this decade there has
been a large gain in the number of
prohibition states. There We're only
three Maine, Kansas and North Da-
kota in 1900. Half a dozen-N North
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississ-
ippi, Tennessee and Oklahoma have
been added to the list in the past five
or four years. Moreover, in the de-
cade many other states, by local ex-
clusion acts have shut out intoxicants
or pretended to do so, from counties
and towns. While only 100000 peo-
pie resided in dry territory in 1900,
100000 are there in 1910.
How is it that while the area of the
prohibition region is steadily and rap
idly expanding the amount of malt
and distilled liquors consumed by the
people is increasing at much greater
rate than the population? ? 1t must also
be borne in mind that the figures here
given to consumption touch only the
liquors on which taxes are paid to
the government. For obvious reasons
the 'moonshine'' stills and breweries
are not included. Nobody except
those who run them know anything
about them officially, and they won't
tell. That the number Is large, how
ever, is certain. More of all sorts Of
liquors is drank now than ten years
ago. This is manifest from the gov
ernment's books. OF course this
means that the laws of the dry" states
and in some of the dry" counties
are evaded. They are evaded in
Georgia and Oklahoma and the other
states which adopted TIE exclusion
fad in the past few years. just as
they are in Maine. Kansas and North
Dakota. where, technically, intoxi
cants have been outlawed for several
decades. The query, Does prohibit
ton prohibit? must be answered by
an emphatic negative.
