TARIFF REVISION BY
 SINGLE SCHEDULES

Congressman Hill has introduced a concurrent resolution providing for a general rule in both houses, as fol- lows:
 Whenever a bill for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Rep resentatives and, having been passed by the House, shall have been recelv- ed in the Senate, it shall in the Sen- ate be subject to such amendments only as shall modify its provisions for duties or taxes on articles therein duties or taxes on articles not 1n- cluded in the bill as received from the House shall be in order either to the bill as received in the Senate or as amendments to the State amend ments when they may be considered in the House.
 Thiss srule would accomplish several purposes. The principal effect would be the prevention of a general tariff revision by either branch when the House which exclusively originates revenue measures, has limited a measure to one or two or more sched- uIes That is, the House could re- wise a single schedule and the Senate could not extend the measures scope, nor could the House itself do so through amendments to Senate amendments. The rule would pre- vent the addition by the Senate of House bill.
 In general effect, the rule permits, in the discretion of the House, tariff revision in a single schedule at a time, instead of, as is now the cus- tom, revising the entire tariff in a single bill. This is an advance step, for it would prevent country wide disturbance of industrial conditions by limiting the uncertainty to one in- dustry. It would allow the Tariff board to cover one schedule at time and make recommendations there upon.
 But the chances of this rules ac- ceptance by both houses is prob lematical and even doubtful The RepuD'Ican regulars will doubtless regard it as an entering wedge, and Senator Aldrich, with Speaker Can non, may even stigmatize it as Free Trade" however innocent of any bearing in that direction its author may be. Nor is there any certainty of the 1nsurgent Senators giving it their approval, for they are tariff re- visionists and may desire more revis- ion than appears in House bills.
 Nor is it a constitutional certainty that the House cannot extend the scope of its measures as amended by the Senate, for it holds the constitu- tional right of originating revenue measures. and this right may be held to cover amendments as we'll as the original bills.
 Nevertheless, the Farmer is inclin- ed to favor MT. Hills proposed rule as calculated to secure tariff revision in the least disturbing manner pos sible.

The vineyardist in that state finds
a fair profit in his product when he
receives ten dollars ton delivered
at the winery. In more than one sea
son he has been called upon to dis
pose OF his crop at eight and nine
dollars a ton. In recent years prices
have been better. Five-year contracts
at fifteen dollars are common and this
is about the average return to the vine
yardist. The price in single and eX-
ceptioral seasons has reached SO a
ton, or q cent and quarter pound.
The grapes sold in Columbia at 16l9
cents a pound are not wine grapes, but
they cost no more to produce than do
the wine varieties. Their adaptability
for shipment, TO stand transportation
for long distance. is their only SUI
periority as a table grape over some
OF the wine varieties.
Now. contrast the price of these
grapes in Columbia and the price the
vineyardist receives. At 16la cents
a pound the price would be 1880 a ton.
Suppose we allow the vineyardist
something handsome for his trouble
of cul!ng and crating-which are not
required when he sells his product to
the winery-and put his price at five
cents pound, 500 ton. The mid
dleman, the transportation company
and the retailer then come in for
their share at the rate of 1lh cents
pound, or $3.50 a ton.
There ought to be fair profit for
them in the business at these figures.
But not many families of the indus
trial class can afford to eat grapes to
any extent at 1G1. cents pound.
1t is probable, however, that lower
transportation charge would not re-
turn a fair diyidend-on watered
stock.

ADVERTISING MISSOURI

The Kansas City Journal says: Gov
ernor Hadley's efforts to advertise the
resources of the state and especially
OF the Ozark fruit region, are liter
ally bearing fruit. At recent peach
carnival several thousand people ate
their fill of the lusci bus peaches
ture OF that section and went away
walking advertisements of the Oppor-
tunities which Missouri offers to the
ambitious immigrant or to the tired
dweller in cities who wants to get
back to nature" instead of spending
his life trying to get back at nature"
There is 4 lot of difference between
the two.
There are opportunities in Missouri
which are not open to the people Of
any other state in the Union. There
are states which may equal Missouri
in the variety of resources, but not
veloped state of their resources. There
are whole sections of this state which
are orchards. both potentially and &C
tually. Others are mines and farms
and pastures and small fruit gardens
and truck patches, all waiting the COM
ing of the wise men. Compared with
the limitless possibilities of the state,
its progress thus far, great as it has
been. is Insignificant. Far greater
things lie in the future than have ever
been brought TO light in the past or
than are in evidence at the present
time.
The proper advertisement of the
state would seem to be the only logical
method of bringing together the op-
portunity and the man seeking tor

THE MIDDLE WATCH

The sentinel walks on his lonely post,
And the shadows darkly follow,
Over the ramparts, round the hill,
Down in the canny hollow.
Weary, but brave in his soldier breast,
Proud OF an ancient duty,
The sentinel watches beneath the
The universe of beauty
For who is it keepeth the middle
watch,
Counting the centuries notch by

Who but the keeper of all, Lord God!
A frosty night on the Himalaya,
And the wind on the steppes is

In Egypt the deserts are burning
discs:
In Yukon gulches, showing.
Buried are Athabascan woods
In the noiseless wintry deep;
Naked on roofs of the woven huts
The Mexic poems sleep.
Daily and nightly the sentry goes,
Asian plains to the Huron SHOWS,
Asking the password, and benign
With: Halt, and give me the coun-
tersign!"
We fall outworn on the beats we tread
In the camps of the daily trouble;
We ask relief of the new detail,
And we want more life. more bubble.
We sleep oft times at the post when
Where the deed is worth the daring,
And cry hard luck when they find us
And the hounds on our trail are far

But He who watcheth from Pole to

Patient and tireless. sea to sea,
He plods for you and He plods for me-
Ever the middle watch is kept,
And it has no end or starting;
Where balefires CLEAN meath the

Or the Arctic bergS are parting;
Where Hindus barter for maize and

And the Arab campfires bantle,
To topmost tip of the unclomb peak

For he who keepeth the middle watch.

Tirelessly, endlessly, to and fro,

A Bovine Prodigy.

Which is worth the more to human
ity, the potential COW or the potential

it is heralded all over civilization. 1t

of the animal that has accomplished

LARGEST CIRCULATION
IN BOONE COUNTY.
INDUSTRIAL COLUMBIA

Columbia is essentially a college
town, an educational center. Train
ing the young men and women OF
Missouri in useful professions, in art
and science, has been its chief
function for three-Quarters of
century, and will continue to be its
highest purpose Indefinitely. But
while education has been its dominat-
ing characteristic all these years, in
cidentally there has been developed
4 commercial and industrial side
which has kept close step with the
city'S progress N an educational way.
Almost imperceptibly has been the de-
velopment of this industrial part OF
Columbia, but nevertheless it is to-
day factor. and Il material one, in
tho growth and prosperity which is
so apparent.
Today the University Missourian
takes occasion to indicate. by picture
and story. something of the industrial
side of Columbia and of Boone county.
This combination of the educational
and the Industrial is an ideal condi-
ton for any community. The one
stimulates TO higher training of men
tai and physical faculties, and pro-
riGes opportunity for tits gratifica-
ton; the other supplies means for
maintenance and acts as a stepping
stone to the higher and better life.
That is to say, the industrial and
commercial part of Columbia provides
the student with employment and en-
ables him to attend the university and
fit himself for a wider, more useful
and more profitable field of activity.
Ii Columbia industrial life accom-
plishes no other purpose than to af-
ford means of education for needy
and worthy students, it would still be
a splendid factor in the city's growth
and progress. But today hundreds
OF families find steady and remu-
nerative employment the year round
in Columbia's factories, workshops
and other industrial enterprises. This
city occupies place as manufacture
ing center, as city where skilled labor
is in demand. This fact alone has
brought a large increase to the popu-
lation of Columbia.
Perhaps no other city of its class
in Missouri has shown a growth in re-
cent years to compare with Column
bia. Iii the last decade it has doubled
in population. This means that there
has been employment at good wages
for many hundreds of mechanics. The
future holds out promise of even
greater growth-for larger employ
ment OF skilled workmen.
Not alone has Columbia taken in 4
large extent of territory in its growth,
but what is perhaps OF greater signifi-
canoe in substantial progress is the
fact that several brick structures in
the business district have been RACED
to give place to more modern office
and commercial buildings.
The University Missourian takes no
little pride in portraying the advance
ment Columbia is making in a COM
mercial and industrial way. Inciden-
tally, too, We feel that this issue OF
the University Missourian is not a
little to the credit of this wideawake
and progressive community. and that
it will be an aid to the further en-
hancement of Columbia's material vel,
fare.
