DISORDERS IN
THESSALY Y
Greek Peasants Kill Land
Owners and Sacked their
Homes.
BY United rress Wire.

Athens, March 1f.-Violent disord-
ers are in progress throughout a
large part of Thessally today as tho
result of the governments refusal to
grant the demands of the Christian
Greek peasants that the government
dispossess the big land owners, most
ly Turks and Mohammedans, and di-
vide their land among the peasants.
The peasants have attacked veal
thy land owners in several places,
killing them and sacking and burn
Ing their homes. Land owners are
turning their homes into fortresses.
1t Is feared the troops will aid the
peasants, as the army league Is said
to favor the program adopted by the
peasants.
Owing to the Turko- Greek treaty,
guaranteeing the land owners their
present rights, the government can
not agree to the peasants demands.
Turkey protested to the government
today the protest containing the
yelled hint that unless Greece gave
the fullest perfection to her Turkish
and Mohammedan subjects, the Porte
would consider it sufficient provoca.
ton to invade Thessaly.
The situation is made more crit-
ical by the knowledge that Turkey is
anxious for some excuse to occupy the
northern province, as the result of the
bitterness growing out of the Gre
tan disputes. Only by the troops
now hurrying northward remaining
loyal and adopting rigorous sup
pressive measures, can crisis be pre-
vented.

organized. They then go to the manu-
facturers, who are organized, and
when they reach you again as a finish
ed product they come from mercantile
organizations. The producers of all
this wealth represent the only link
in the chain that is not strongly or
ganized."
1t is scarcely necessary to say that
Mr.. YoalSum was not urging farm
ers to organize a new political party
for the purpose of fighting the rail-
roads, the manufacturers, and the
mercantile organizations. He is a very
practical man and he was thinking
of something that has no politics in
it. According to the Department of
Agricultural, as Mr.. Yoakum points
out, the average cost of hauling a ton
of farm produce mile over country
roads in the United States is twenty
five cents; but in Europe 1t is only
eighty-cents. With country roads as
good as those in Europe the cost OF
hauling farm and mine products might
be reduced by the prodigious sum of
$3.50, 900 ayear. And this matter OF
good roads it, or might easily be, al
most wholly within the control OF
farmers. If properly organized their
power would carry through every
necessary plan of road Improvement.
Mr.. Yoakum and Mr.. James J. Hill
are the two railroad magnates in this
country who seem best capable of Civ
ing the farmers good advice, and they
back II up with efforts in many di-
rections to make agricultural popular
by showing that it is the most profit
able occupation now open to the
American people. The farmer who
knows his business now occupies a
superior economic position and for
many years to come he can, with
reason, look forward to good prices
for his products. But let us hope that
the farmers will soon reach that stage
of cooperation which will enable them
to Danish that condition of negligence
and waste that piles an extra burden
of s25O,OOO,0O0 a year upon themselves
and the whole consuming community.

property. Cities. counties, states and
the government are all scheming for
new methods of taxation. Mayor
Gaynor is pointing a new way where
~ money cen be saved and
the standard of service not lowered.
Senator Aldrich says that the same
thing can be done with the govern
ment. He thinks that it would be
an easy thing to save 800, 100000 a
year for the government and Presi-
dent Taft takes the same view. But
they should follow Mayor Gaynor's
way. The New York mayor isn't
making speech about what might be
done, he is just doing IL.

LONGwoRTH SAYS THEY LIE.

Congressman Nicholas Longworth,
son-in-law of Theodore Roosevelt,
and one of Ohio's Republican leaders
in speech before the Manufactur-
ers' club at Cincinnati, accused some
manufacturers of trying to deceive
the people about the tariff bill He
said that when wooden manufactur-
er sent out a circular announcing
raise in prices on account of the
tariff that manufacturer was telling
a lie, for the new law leaves the wool
en- schedule untouched. 1t will be re-
membered that in his Lincoln ami
versary speech at New York, Presi-
dent Taft found the wooden sched-
ule so bad that he could not defend
it, although he praised the Payne
Aldrich tariff as the best that had
ever been enacted in this country. II
Nicholas Longworth is right, the
wooden manufacturers received val
liable suggestion from the presidents
speech and advanced the prices of
their goods, believing that such a
monstrous schedule would justify
them in another increase of profit
taking. The people would believe
with Mr.. Taft that the woolen sched-
ule was particularly bad and stand
for q new raid on their resources. But
what is to be said of the Payne-Al-
drich combination that refused to
change a schedule which Is so OPP
pressive that the manufacturers can
juggle with 1t to put up prices and
play upon it's evil FEATURES to obtain
still higher profits? If the woolen
schedule had been revised downward
the manufacturers could not have
turned the trick of which Mr.. Long
worth accuses them.
He went on to say that the shoe
manufacturers were also lying when
they contended that the tariff COM
PEELED them to charge more, as the
tariff on hides had been removed, and
the duty on shoes had been reduced
| SO per cent. The shoe manufacturers
are sure to justify themselves and
will tell Mr.. Longworth that he does
not know what he Is talking about.
In the meantime the consumer VIII
suffer, as he always does when the
Republicans revise their scandalously
unjust tariff. The protected interests
do their own revising and thy are so
full of the spiri tof graft that they
apprach every schedule with the in
tention of making It more profitable
to themselves and more obscure and
intricate to the unfortunate taxpayer.
Every time the taric is revised by
"its friends he Is called upon to con-
tribute larger sum to "the protec-
ton of American industries" He
does not receive any advance in wages
but he pays more for the accessories
Of life. Mr.. Longworth is trying to
shift he burden of popular wrath on
to the manufacturers. They say the
tariff is responsible but the voters
will have their say next November.

Mooney and the Democratic floor
leader, G. b. Winters, remained hers
also. Nothing definite will be decided
until the governor and attorney gen.

Representative Langdon said today
that the only material change pro-
posed would be in regard to the Cole
law. Langdon proposes to replace that
by an excise tax on gross earnings OF
business done wholly within the state
by public service corporations. That
the smaller corporations may not be
too heavily burdened II is proposed TO
make the tax one per cent on the
first 100000, two per cent. on receipts
up to 100000. and three per cent on
all over that amount He believes this
will bring as much revenue as the
