WANTS UNCLE SAM TO
FOUND SMALL FARMS
Helped Railroads, Now Help
Poor Men

Chicago, Dec. 23.-Government aid
for the small towns" movement
where Uncle Sam would advance
money to Industrious citizens who
want to own small plot of ground IN
the West, is the project of William +.
Smythe, of California, which he IS
seeking to interest the National lrri-
cation Congress in.
The speaker termed his plan the
formation of AN army OF peace
where men would be enlisted in the
"production crops" and in the building
up of which the government would,
expend $40 for every dollar it now
spends on the real army of the coun-
try.
Haven't We encouraged capital by
every means?" Smythe asks. Isn't It
lust as legitimate to encourage la
Dor? To the rich man who wanted to
build railroads we lonaed millions Of
dollars and donated 2OOO0O,OOO acres
of land. Can't we help poor man 10
get a home?'
Small farms and intensive methods
of farming, Smythe said, means the
restoration of individual independence
to millions of men and women"
ct means" continued Smythe, AN
impulse to better business of every
kind, it means cheaper and better
food to the masses in the towns, who
will be brought into direct relation
with the producer. 1t means that eX-
listing social discomfort shall become
constructive rather thand destructive.
1t means a truce in the awful conflict
between labor and capital. 1t means
ease and national progress for ma
ton that is today remuolding its So
cial conscience and reorganizing its
economic ideals.

ECONOMY SECURED BY
GOVERNOR HARMON'S LAWS
He Opposes Extravaganza in
Government

Columbus, O., December 23.-To
prevent extravaganza in governmental
affairs, the Ohio Tax Commission has
forced several public officers who
fixed tax rates in excess Of the sle-
gal maximum of l per cent, plus eX-
tras for sinking fund and bonded in
debtedness, to reduce to the proper
limit.
1t was the first time in the annals
of the Chic government that such ac-
ton had been taken, and authority
gor it was obtained under law
which Gov. Hnrmon secured Proba
bly, in no other state of the union can
such a reduction in the public eX-
pense be made. Before the present
year. there was no limit placed on
the size of tax levies that public Of
ficers could make, and the result was
that tax rates ranged from 2 to +
per cent, and there were prospects
of higher ones.
One of the first things that Gov
Harmon gave his attention to, after
he was inaugurated, was to obtain 4
law which would place amaXimum
limit. and with power vested in
state tax commission to prevent
levy in excess of the limit. AS a
further safeguard, a limit was placed
on the amount of money that could
be spent each year by public Off
GERS. The tax commission has power
to remove officers who violate any
taxing laws.
This year officials in Henry, Madi-
son and Union counties fixed levies
in excess of the legal limit in order
to get money for improvements out
of proportion to their taxable wealth
but when called to book by the tax
commission the officials reduced the
rate without protest.
Inc taxing plan or many OtnclalS
in Ohio heretofore has been to levy
up to the limit and go in debt for
much more, with a patchwork sys-
TEN of valuation and consequent in
justice" says a member of the tax
commission. The new rule is to
appraise all property at its true value
let no man CT corporation escape a
just share, then to make the rate low
and collect the money before it is
spent. With maximum limits placed
on the tax rate and aggregate amount
of money that officers can spend Ohio
property owners will never again
have to pay tax rates of four and six
percent"

WIRE AND RAILS NOT TOUCHED
Reduction on the Seven Steel Pro-
ducts on the List Brings the
Average Prices to Lower
Level Than in 1909.

New York. May 3O.-Following the
action last week Of the Republication
and Steel company. officers Of tie
United States Steel corporation and
the larger independents met here and
issued a statement reducing the price
of seven steel products.
Judge Gary, chairman Of the board
OF the steel corporation, said alter
ward that the new prices will doubt
less be generally followed. Officers OF
the Republic Iron and Steel company,
the John w. Gates enterprise, which
precipitated the cut In prices, weren't
asked to attend.
The prices on the seven steel pro
ducts named in the new list bring the
average Of steel prices to lower
level than they have held since 1909,
the last time that there has been dis
sension among steel producers. In
some instances the prices OF individual
articles are lower than they were in
1909. Steel billets, for instance, are
lower than they have been at any
time since 1904. The cut on steel
bars was the same as that made by
the Republic last Wednesday and fol-
lowed sporadically by other steel pro-
ducers since then. Neither steel wire,
which Is the biggest single product
in the trade, speaking in point Of ton
mage. nor rails were touched. There Is
little likelihood that either Of these
will be affected.
one Of the independents said the
most important item upon which the
price was cut was that OF plates and
structurals. These compose about >
per cent Of the annual output Of the
country, and the price was lowered
; cents on the hundred weight, max
ing the new rate $l35 a hundred
pounds. Sheets Of various grades and
sheet bars were cut or 3 cents a
pound. Altogether the new prices are
lower than they have been for two
years.
Inc commodities dheNieu, Win '"N
new prices, are as follows:
Steel bars Us cents per 100 pounds
on, $l25 base.
Plates and structurals g cents per
100 pounds on. Sl.35 off.

Campaign Going Through west
washington, May 3O.-As having a
probable bearing upon his renomina
ton in 1912, President Tafts plans
for the coming fall are attracting IN
usual attention.
The president is rapidly accepting
invitations to sroak In various parts
OF the country. The indications are
that he will make a long swing
through the west.
The president told Senator Smoot. OF
Utah, that he expected to accept an
invitation to visit Salt Lake City in
September.
The White House travel book al
ready shows engagements which viii
carry the president into Kansas and
from there to Utah. Although no en-
gagements for stops in Nebraska OF
Colorado have yet been made, II Is
likely they will be.
On his western trip the president
undoubtedly will talk about his ad
ministration snd what has been ac
complished. It is said the trip may
take the president as far as the Pa
cifc coast. An invitation to visit Port
Huron, Mich, some time in Septem
Der also was accepted.

GARY TO Be NEXT WITNESS
House Committee Wants Col. Roose-
Welt to Explain His Part in Alb
sOrptiOn Of Tennessee Coal
and Iron Company.

Washington, May 30. - Theodore
Roosevelt must take the stand In the
steel trust investigation by the Stan
ley committee OF the house OF repre-
sentatiyes and tell what he knows
about the taking over Of the Tennes'
see Coal and Iron company by the
United States Steel corporation.
Already request has been sent TO
Mr.. Roosevelt to appear. No answer
has been received. but there Is very
little chance Of his failure.
II has been declared repeatedly that
the merger was personally sanctioned
by Colonel Roosevelt, as president at
the time of the 1907 financial panic
and that he did so to aid in relieving
the distress OF big New York bank,
whose closing threatened to cause
widespread trouble.
John w. Gates, who was before the
committee Saturday, contradicted
practically all the statements In Colo
mel Roosevelt's letter to Attorney Gen
eral Bonaparte. In which 1t was set
forth that r. II. Gary and ii. c. Flick
had volunteered to avert a financial
disaster by taking over the Tennessee
Coal and Iron company. Colonel Roose-
welt will be asked to harmonic the
apparent discrepancies.
Judge Ebert H. Gary, chairman OF
the board Of the United States Steel
corporation. will furnish the second
chapter OF the Stanley committees
history Of the great steel trust" lie

day morning.
Representative Stanley Is more than
pleased as the result Of the first at

facts behind tho combination OF capt.
tai What John W. Gates said under
oath Saturday--the movements that
led TO the elimination OF Mr.. Carnegie
and the pooling OF interests In one
holding company Of $1,000, 100000 cap
ital-has conferred the eyes OF every
body in Washington on the hearings
Mr. Stanley has made the investiga-
ton Of the steel trust his hobby FOR
many years. There was one thing tha'
he and his colleague on the committee
were especially eager to learn and
that was the exact reason for the sud
den merging OF the competing steel
concerns in 1900 and 1901. Mr.. Gates
explained II.
The committee will continue It's
meetings in Washington until the end
Of the present session OF congress. II
then intends to go to New York, PITTS
burg and Chicago and take testimony
There will probably be no man OF
prominence in steel affairs or In any
great banking institution or other line

nected with steel that Will not even
