A HUNDRED TARIFF TAXES
ABOLISHED.

The Farmers Free List bill, which
abolishes all duties on more than
one hundred different articles of
common use and consumption among
the plain people, passed the Senate
yesterday.
Its passage by both houses is one
of the most significant expressions
of the thought of the time. 1t shows
Difference to the valid and robust de-
mand that in framing tariff schedules
the needs of the consumer are not to
be wholly and contemptuously ig-
nored in the interest of the manufac-
turer. 1t amplifies and pushes far
Their toward completion of a wise
and conservative legislative pro-
gramme that already includes the
passage of the reciprocity bill and
the bill revising the wool duties.
In the form in which the free list
bill came from the House it failed of
passage only by tie vote, develop
ing greater strength than was ex-
pected. Then, with only slight
modification of it's provision relat-
ing to meat products, it gained the
support of a majority of the Sena-
tors. Reciprocity being in high ia
vor just now, the modified provision
is reciprocal in nature, authorizing
the free admission of meats from not
merely Canada, but all countries that
admit free to their markets certain
,, American agricultural products.
The change does not affect the
measure Of relief which the bill
promises for larger numbers of the
masses. If the bill is approved, the
: free list will probably be the largest
known since the Civil War. The
situation governing it's fate looked
most complicated yesterday, but, as
in the case Of the wool bill, patience
and good nature worked out a solu
ton through adjustments that re-
fleet the highest credit on democratic
leadership.
The principle on which congress
sional endorsement has been placed
in the three revision measures al
ready adopted will be one of grea
persistence in the next campaign
Few intelligent men would court thu
further political difficulties Mr.. Tai
will create for himself through
veto of this righteous measure.-St
Louis Republic.

TRUE.TO THE PEOPLE.

Again the democrats in the House
have shown appreciation of the de-
mands of the nation in the matter Of
tariff reform.
7 The overwhelming vote in favor OF
revisions of rates on manufactures
of cotton goods is another splendid
illustration of the fidelity of the real
representatives of the people to the
party pledges made before election.
The house democrats may be trust
ed to give prompt and satisfactory
attention now to the wool bill in the
shape in which it has been returned
to them from the Senate.
When President Taft called the
special session to act on Canadian
reciprocity, he builded better than he
knew in the matter of forwarding
the principles of tariff reform.
The machinery of that reform has
been set in motion in a manner pre-
saying the utter overthrow of the
tariff Observation-Disclosures Journal.

this but this is another one of those
luxuries the law provides for and
the state must have.
The fish and game warden cost
the state $42,S21.24 the two years.
That would buy a lot of fish and
game AS a matter of fact it would
probably buy more than the warden
saved but if We didn't have game
warden it would not be long until
the waterfowl and game fish of the
state would be extinct. Mr.. Lincoln
is a good warden and not at all ex-
travagant himself and likely the de-
partment could not have gotten on
with less but it seems that with
| forty-two thousand dollars one could
raise or save a lot of fish and game.
The Attorney Generals Office cost
,, the state $4,000 in the biennial
period and the State Historical So
ciety the same amount. Costs just
the same to interpret the laws and
defend the state in the law suits as
it does to preserve it's history

WHY GET SCARED?

We NAV be away off, but we tall
IN soc what there is in CANADIAN
reciprocity for Iowa farmers 10 set
scared at. The United States export
ed during 1910, s34,544'alo "oi ;,a
of farm products into Canaua' WINS
we imported only $S,6oO'ozo "olIn
of farm products from Canada' ~
farm animals, such as cattle, horses
sheen. and all others, our exports "
Canada last year amounted to 49,
O87 1852. while our imports amounted
tn only s1,746,23S from Canada. IN
grains. flour, etc., our exports TO Can,
ada. last year were $7,29l,1O| ana
our imports from Canada only o.
7493S6. Of this we shipped only
s135.441 worth of wheat from Can
ada and we exported 1921 I, l9l into
Canada. In fruits and nuts, meats
and dairy products, potatoes, Vege-
tables, etc, we shipped into Canaua
from two to ten times as much sun
as they shipped over to us
What we cannot see then IS why
the United States ia' mers should get
scared fer fear Canadian farmers
will lower our prices here II we get
freer trade relations. II we nave
big balance of trade with them, why
will reciprocity not further increase
our trade and thus improve our mar
kets for farm product?
- Canadian farmers cannot raise
their stuff any cheaper than Amerl-
- can farmers can, and if they cannot,
why. will they sell it any cheaper:
They Will want as much profit as our
farmers do, and they will not sell un-
It'll they get it. The truth is, Can
,ada's consumptive ability in farm
(, products. will far exceed her produc-
tive. ability for many years to come
She is already one of the best mar
kets the United States has, and lower
tariff duties will make her still
better market.
:, Reciprocity always dement's the
country that sells the most goods
and that is why Canada is more $40"
to accept the Taft treaty than was the
). United States. 1t will be better 1or
us than it will be for them.-Charl-

Our Washington Letter.

(By Clyde H. Tavenner, special
Washington correspondent of The
Reporter.)
Washington, Aug. 5.-Another
step toward carrying out campaign
pledges was taken by the majority
of the House of Representatives
when it adopted a cotton schedule
which greatly reduces the tax on all
kinds of cotton goods.
If the republican senate and Pres
ident Taft will permit the bill to be-
come law, the public will be assured
of substantial reductions in prices.
The bill is so framed as to be a par
ticular boon to the poor, for the
greatest reductions are made on cot
tons used by the middle classes and
the poor. This feature of the DEM
ocratic bill is in particularly strik-
ing contrast to the Payne-Aldrich
law, which levies the lowest rates on
the grades of cottons used by the
wealthy and the highest tax on the
cottons used by the poor.
The Payne-Aldrich tax of 50.02
per cent on ready made clothing and
articles of wearing apparel of every
description composed of cotton or
vegetable fibre is reduced to 80 per
cent. The Payne-Aldrich tax Of As
per cent on blankets and quilts, tow
els, doilies, batting, mops, washrags,
ETC., is reduced to rs per cent. The
Payne-Aldrich duty of 5O.02 on
shirts, sweaters and all articles OF
cotton underwear of every description
RI In =
reructions are made on every item
in the entire cotton schedule.
Democrat Opposes Taft Censorship
An important measure pending be.
: fore Congress is the House Resolu.
ton No. 500, introduced by Con
gresham James T. Lloyd of Missouri
The measure is aimed particularly
at the action of the Taft administra
ton in prohibiting postal employees
from organizing, and the still more
remarkable Taft policy of denying
civil service employees the right tt
petition Congress, or even to Civ,
members of Congress information
until it has first been censored b,
their superiors.
The Constitution guarantees t,
every citizen of the United States tn,
right to petition Congress.
The Lloyd resolution occupies tn,
novel role, therefore, of having TO
its purpose the restoration to gov
eminent employees of rights they ar
entitled to under the constitution
but which rights have been takel
away from them by the Presiden
in his desperate effort to prevent
further leakage of information in
furious to the republican party sucl
as occurred in the Ballinger case.
Consideration for Women.
The cotton bill reported by tn
democratic Ways and Means com
mittee is especially designed to ben
eft the women and children of tn
country, there being a reduction o
more than IS per cent on nearl,
every item in the cotton bill used b,
them. Ga tt nc

COSTS SOMETHING TO RUN IOWA

A glance at some of the totals in
the two years ending June 80, 1910,
shows that it cost pretty penny
to run the big state of Iowa. The
departments are not all run on the
democratic Simplicity plan, either.
For instance the governors depart
ment cost something like $43,25o.OO
for the period. Nearly $4,000 OF
this was in salaries. Over $500 was
paid for printing for that depart
ment alone for the two years. About
$500 for travelling expenses. Our
governor is no "tight-wad' when
the state pays the bills and,
we'll it is proper that the governor
of a great state be liberal. AS a
rule people don't like stingy folks
and in a governor it would be intol-
cradle.
The railway commission came in
for $4O,796.27 in the two years
We are not certain that the state
received any great returns for the
investment but that is what it cost
The railway commission has general
ly been considered a sort of luxur!
with little cause for existence anc
by most people of the state it viii
seem that $4,000 is long price t.
pay for it's service, but we have il
on hand and must foot the bill:
and it is hardly worth while tt
grumble. The salaries and travel
ing expenses of the commission
amounted to $4,000 in the twt
years. The commission drew 81,
694.42 worth of supplies from thu
department of supplies in the twt
years. That would furnish lot o
stationery, etc., but we presume tn
commission needed lot of it.
Then there is the agricultural de
partment. Spent $163,O22.78 in tn
two years. Divide that by hundred
| and you will arrive at about tn
| average expense per county. o
course the big end of this wen
into the state fair but we must hav
a state fair. It costs money to bull
amphitheatres and other fair build
ings. The state owns them howeve
and the money is not thrown away
| Then there is the legislature. Tha
is an expensive affair. The thirty
second Assembly alone cost 1853,
l766.19. It is a question whethe
the state got value received out Q

THE SPLIT on WOOL.

There is every reason to believe
that the republican party has Deen
hopelessly split by the action OF the
Senate in passing the UnderWood-La
Toilette compromise bill reducing the
tariff on wool. In view OF the vide
divergence of opinion among republic
cans the minor democratic differences
are inconsequential.
In the House there was a sentl-
ment for free raw wool. The Under
wood bill placed the duty at ~ per
cent, which was a very substantial
cut under the Payne-Aldrich rate.
The Senate compromise bill raised
the duty to IS per cent, which is still
far below the provision made in
Schedule K. While House democrats
will naturally be overzealous and
hasty in the matter of adopting the
concessions made in the Senate, there
Is, still a probability that the policy
of me Senate Democrats will prevail.
That policy is simply to do the best
that can be done in the circumstances
rather than adjourn without having
accomplished anything at all.
The attitude of President Taft is
no longer one of pronounced hos
tility to- any further tariff legislation
Mr.. Taft has had his ear to the
ground for a long time. He hears
the storm coming. He knows that he
cannot explain to the people veto
of the UnderwoodLa Toilette bill
upon the f1imsy pretext that the
Tariff Board has not reported. He
is in a very precarious position, and
apparently very near the point that
divides insurgency from standpatism
His veto would hold the allegiance
of the old guard of high tariff repub-
licans, but it would lose for him the
west.
Will the democrats lose this oppor-
tunity to force the issue? Until this
time their strategy has been superb.
They have forced the republican par
ty to the edge of a precipice. Even
if they do nothing more, the g. o. p.
can hardly avoid stumbling head
long to it's destruction. But there is
work yet to be done. The campaign
of 1912 can be settled now in favor
of the democratic party, and a
prompt agreement on the wool ques-
ton will materially aid in producing
that result.-St. Louis Republic.
