Washington, June 9-One hundred
and thlrty.three millions of dollars!
Try to comprehend the magnitude
of this sum IL you can, and then pause
and reflect over the fact that It Is the
amount the Senate has voted to spend
on the navy in single year, in a
time of profound peace. Then con-
slider that only 12 years ago in 1898,
the naval appropriation was but $685.
O03 .234, or one hundred millions less
than the amount appropriated for the
year ending June 80, 1911.
A fact in connection with this aw-
full increase which the public seldom
hears is that every penny of this $780,.
600 900 which is to be spent in ex.
cess of the amount used in 1898 comes
from the people; not from the rich,
but largely from working men and
women.
1t is the ultimate consumer who
pays the battleship bills, who main
tains an ever.increasing army of of
ficeholders in Washington, and who
meets the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ex-
travagances of the government. He
does it by paying excessive prices for
the things he buys.
The government raises practically
all of it's funds through the customs
houses and the internal revenue Of
fees, where taxes are isvied on things
eaten. worn or used by the people
When the consumer purchases pro
tected article-and practically all ol
the necessaries of life are protected
he pays the real or natural value oi
the article and in addition thereto the
amount of the tariff tax.
The more battleships constructed
the greater the amount the govern
men5 must raise through the tax or
consumption, and the greater the cost
of living.
Thus it is not so strange that undel
the Taft administration, which Is
spending more than twice the amount
used by Cleveland to run the gov
ernment. the cost of living is 80 pei
cent greater than under the Cleye
land administration.

Rockefeller and Carnegie are not
asked by the federal government to

Wealth escapes bearing its just

long ago ADOPTED by Great Britain,

A majority of both Houses of Con-

Such legislation would now be upon
the statute books had not President
Taft and Senator Aldrich defeated the
project through the substitution of
corporation tax. That the necessary
three-fourths of the state legislature
will not vote to amend the constitu-

means that an income tax can only
be had at the hands of Democratic

Weather-CrOp Bulletin.

Des Moines, Iowa, October 2, 1910
The week was very favorable for ripen-
ing corn and the crop is now practi-
caly safe from any damage by frost.
There is, however, a small percentage
of the crop in the late-planted fields
that will need another week of good
weather to fully mature. With the ex-
ception of the Goth and 9th the wealth
er was ideal. Light rain fell on the
Goth and light to heavy frost occurred
on the 9th, but no material damage
was done. A great deal of interest is
being taken in the selection OF seed
corn and more seed was harvested IN
September than ever before. The rains
of the previous week and the early
part of the past week were very bene-
fetal for fall blowing, pastures, mead
ows and winter grains. Most of the
silos have been filled and much more
than the usual amount of corn has been
put in shock. Fall grains are up and
growing nicely. In spite of the severe
freezing weather in April and May and
the drouth during the summer months,
the harvest has been profitable, and
with few exceptions very bountiful.
Tree fruits were practically killed and
berries seriously injured by the late
frosts of spring and the hay and potato
crops were shortened by the drouth,
but the small grains were above the
average in quality and yield. Corn
was damaged considerably by the lack
of moisture but the average yield will
be above the normal and the total yield
will probably be over 3OO,0OO,00O
bushels. The shortage of the hay crop
has been made up largely by the extra
amount of corn cut for fodder and the
excellent condition of fall pastures.
The potato crop will be smaller than
usual, but the quality will be fairly
good.
This will be the last issue of the bull
letin for this year.

-Riceville was defeated but not van
