plain why the national output in agri-
culture has enormously increased dur
ing the time of the falling off of the
number of people engaged in the bust
ness. This is the contribution of the
implement designer to the we'll being
and prosperity of the human race The
labor available on the farm is less and
more costly than in earlier years. The
man who makes plans of implements
that do away with human labor de-
serves the credit. There are others
who have had a distinguished share.
None of them will be willing that the
laurels which belong to the designer
be impaired In the least. The i'm
provement in the machinery by which
implements have been made, relative
ly and actually, of less cost, have their
tribute OF praise, and so have the men
who have organized the industry.
They are all great public benefactors,
but the designer has not always re-
ceived the credit which is his due and
which it is just as we'll to award to
his honor while he is living, to share
the Joy of his victory over natural OBJ

You Pay the Taxes

1t takes billions to run a nation.
These billions are raised by taxation.
To have some one else pay ones
taxes Is the greatest OF all law-made
privileges. When to this is added the
right of using the taxing power to kill
competition, and to fill ones own
pockets, the privilege is colossal. 1t
is too terrible to last. Almost all the
insurgent movements of history, says
writer in Everybody's Magazine,
have been a protest against the priv
ilege of unjust taxation. In the Unit
Led States the burden of the tariff and
the excise taxes falls almost wholly on
the common people. Practically ev-
cry cent of the $550,000,000 now col
lected is paid by them. 1t is collected
from the things We eat, drink, wear
and use in our homes. 1t is collected
| by being added to the cost OF every
thing we use. No other civilized ma
ton dares to go as far as our law
makers and their masters have gone
in shifting the cost of national gov
eminent from their own shoulders on
TO those of the people. Germany does
not, and Germany Is pretty nearly an
absolutism. Great Britain does not,
and the ruling class there is largely
| composed of an aristocracy Of planta-
ton owners and financial barons not
unlike our own. Our ruling class, in
distributing the burden of national
taxation, deals most lightly with its
own members. 1t takes nothing from
their incomes or their business, save
such moneys as are yielded through
the recently imposed tax on corpora
/ tons.

Credit Due Implement Makers.

The public is already familiar with
the fact that in the agricultural states
like Missouri, the new census shows
that the rural population is smaller
than 10 years ago; the net growth of
the state as a whole being consider
ably less than that shown by the lead
ing cities. This may not always be as
it is, as the premium bestowed on the
agricultural interests is setting the
tide the other way at present. Thus
far there has been a real decline in
the number of people farming, how
ever. Now place alongside this the
other fact that the aggregate produc-
ton of the titled land is greater than
in former years. The grain output this
year is in excess of any former record
and far ahead of the output of that
years ago. Weighing the two facts to-
gether, namely, fewer people growing
food and the much larger output, it is
demonstrated that some factor of large
effect has been at work to give human
effort greater returns than it had be-
fore
The explanation of the difference is
primarily in what the implement max
ers of America have done. When 1t
comes down to the real secret of this
it is to be found in the work of the
implement designer. The fertile brain
of this main producer in the line has
been busy the past Is years in com
pletely overhauling the old methods of
ltillage Today the maximum output of
one human worker in the field is
enormously greater than few years
ago. Where one man and team once
turned over an acre or an acre and
| half a day with the plow, three men
and the present day outfit may turn
over an acre every ii minutes, oper-
ating a power traction engine and
| drawing 90 plows in their train. In
other words. with a shift of men one
outfit may give the fundamental till
age to 100 acres in "a hours. This
outfit is not yet in general use, but it
is spreading. Meanwhile the produc-
tiveness of one man with a gang plow
may be several times that of the man
single-handed in former conditions.
A similar comparison is found in
other things, and in the change in
methods of conducting agriculture gen.
orally. The output of the threshiag
machine of today would have been
considered unbelievable a generation
ago The work of the corn harvest has
been simplified to where the most es
sential part of the work is done in so
short time, by the aid of implement
and team, as to make the farmer COM
paratively independent of help. The
work is literally reduced from weeks
to days and hours.
These are the changes which ex-

The Argus Daily Short Story
tory of Brass Button-By Willard Brakeman
Copyrghted 1910. by Associated Literary Press.

Leave that 10 me. general, l viii
see that the plan IS executed
The next morning an officer Of rank
dressed in the uniform of Confeder-
ate colonel, attended by a single order
l. also wearing the gray, rode into the
Confederate lines and announced him
self as having been sent out by the
inspector general at Richmond to as
certain the condition and requirements
Of the army and make report thereof
He was received by the general com
manding with the respect due his rank
and given every facility for the execu-
ton of his work. An officer was di-
rected to ride with him through the
various divisions Of the army, and the
officers of the staff were ordered to
Drepare reports of the condition Of
their departments.
All day the spy rode through the
Confederate camps, inspecting the
troops and taking notes OF their re
uuirements. While doing this he was
observing the position, its strength or
weakness, the amount of artillery-in-
deed. all such information as could
enable him to form a plan for getting
the Federal army confronting Ihe Con-
federates from its perilous position.
When he returned TO the Confederate
headquarters he called his orderly
aside and said to him:
I'VE may not get out Of this, and
If we don't and you find an Opportu-
nifty to transmit any informGtion.lett It
be this:
Send a brigade around by the road

of paper and committed it TO memory,
then destroyed the memorandum.

Woodrow Wilson's Socks.

In his speech at Red Bank, DR..
Woodrow Wilson. in discussing the
tariff, mentioned a pair of socks he
| bought in Aberdeen, Scotland, which
will not wear out. American socks
wear out in no time.
Just as good socks can be made
in Newark as in Aberdeen. But see
what the tariff does to the buyers
of socks!
Wool, wool and silk and cotton
and wool socks, in which wool pre-
dominates, now pay A cents a
pound duty and so per cent in addi-
ton. Last year under the Dingley
tariff the average total rate col
lected on these goods was figured
by treasury experts at 1915 per
cent.
Suppose the sock buyer cannot
afford wool and in desperation tries
the cheapest cotton socks. The aver
cent.
Suppose an old fashioned grand
mother still fingers here and there
who wants to buy cheap mixed wool
yarn and knit socks. Only $3.50
worth of such yarn was imported
last year. which is not strange, for
the tariff was 1887 per cent!
This is the yarn tariff now; under
80 cents a pound. 2715 cents a
pound duty plus So per cent; over
80 cents pound, 3S19 cents a
pound plus 40 per cent. On yarn
worth 35 cents the duty would be
$50 per cent. No wonder spinners
get rich and knitters use shoddy.
College presidents are not rich
enough to wear silk hose. The duty
on them is only so per cent.

In the class of 1873 at West Point
were two cadets. the one from the
north. the other from the south, who
became great chums. Donald Dargan
was the southerner, Edwin Chandler
the northerner 1t is seldom that two
young men, each possessing such stir
ling qualities, are to be found bound
together by the ties of friendship.
Without being aware of the fact, they
both were claimants for the hand Of
the same girl. She decided in favor
of the southerner. When Chandler
congratulated Dargan on his having
obtained the prize the latter did not
know that he had won it from his
friend.
Having been graduated, Dargan in
the cavalry and Chandler in the artil-
lery. they served at their respective
stations till the civil war came on
There were two sets of United States
army officers from the south during
the war-those who went over to the
Confederacy and those who remained
in the Federal army. Dargan elected
to fight under the stars and stripes.
He came to this decision after long

were his two brothers, his relatives
and the friends of his youth. To

He reached his decision without
word Of conference with any one, not
even his wife, who sympathized with
the Confederate cause. She was disap
pointed, but respected her husbands
motives.
One OF the Federal armies in the field
was in a critical position. A council
Of war was convened, and the general
commanding called for the opinions Of
those present. One of the generals
rose and said:
