Banking and Currency Reform.


The Bryan Eagle says: THE sud-
den conversion OF the Houston Post to
the Aldrich central bank proposition
is somewhat surprising, to say the
least"
The Houston Post has not been
converted to the Aldrich banking and
currency plan, nor has 1t indicated d.
rectly or Indirectly that II would ed
vocate it. The Houston Post propose.
10 investigate the plan fully, however,
and ascertain exactly what it proposes
before denouncing it, and 1t believes
that members of congress should do
likewise.
The country has been subjected to
the perils OF hotch-potch banking
and currency system for a generation,
and congress has done practically
nothing to relieve the situation. 1t is
the duty of congress to deal with the
problem and to deal with it intelli-
gently. Every banker in the countrv
is agreed that the present system is
bad. These bankers are the men to
whom the people entrust their money
for safekeeping, and it is fair to as
sumo that they know something Of the
principles of scientific banking. Their
advice ought to be heard, for If they
are not competent to advise, then the
country is skating on thin ice.
1t has been too prevalent a custom
for politicians and editors to de-
nounce measures without knowing
what they denounce or without being
able to propose some sane solution of
the problem under consideration. We
suspect that the Bryan Eagle is mea-
gerly informed as to the details of the
Aldrich plan, but it seems to be ready
to condemn it without knowing eX.
actly what it is, and it does not APP
pear to have any remedy for existing
conditions. The Eagle knows, how
ever, that there was a disastrous panic
in 1893 and another in 1907, which
might have been averted if cur bank
ing and currency system had been
equal to the emergency, and we may
expect recurrence of such panic5
until we reform the existing system
to make it respond to the country :
needs in times of financial stress.
The Post believes there are some
good features about the Aldrich plan.
/ Otherwise it could not have secured
the endorsement of nearly all the
bankers of the country 1t may be
there are some Objectionable features
about it also. Under such circum
/ stances, it is the duty of congress &c
investigate the subject as becomes
] broadminded statesmen and not in
dulge vague denunciation. Proper in
vestigation may enable congress to i'm
prove upon the Aldrich pain; it IS
certain that the present plan may b.
( improved, for as matters now stand
the banks are almost helpless to avert
panics.
/ The country needs craftsmanship
not demagogy and irresponsible de
nunciation The Post stands for in
vestigation and intelligent action as
soon as the proper course shall have
been ascertained. It is committed to
nothing but that.-Houston Post.

THEY tell us that we have progressed
wonderfully in the past fifteen years;
that other states are copying our laws
and initiating our plans for their i'm
provement, and that the strides we
have made in governmental progress
are marvelously long. One thing is
true beyond all question and that is we
have something now which has raised
the price of government beyond the
reach of the ordinary laborer. By this
we mean that the price of government
has gotten so high that the poor man
can better afford to rent than own his
home We certainly ought to have
something to show for our money.
Now, what is it? Sixteen years ago
the annual cost of state government
was about three million dollars, while
now it is nearly ten millions. Seven
million dollars ought to buy something
really excellent What has it bought
the people of this great state? What
have we to show each year for our ex
ira seven millions? The people are all
from Missouri. What is it that repre-
sents this enormous extra expenditure?
Wise rate laws? Are Wisconsin people
paying less to the railroads for the
same services than they did fifteen
years ago? If they are, the railway
properties are being sacrificed. But a
seven-million saving would bankrupt
the railroads if it all came out of them.
What else can it come from? Will
somebody answer?-Stoughton Courier

Return From Mexico.

Mr.. F. c.. Hutson, treasurer of the
Wisconsin Rubber company, returned
Monday from six weeks trip to Mex
leo, where he went in company with
Mr.. C. L. Comings Of Brandon, Canada,
to inspect the rubber plantation owned
by the company.
AS rubber curiosity, Mr.. Hutson
brought with him a piece of pure rub
Der three feet wide and 18 feet long,
made on machine invented by Mr.. II.
HI. Markley, manager of the planta-
ton. The souvenir. which weighs IS
pounds and is valued at 5000, was made
while the visitors witnessed the pro-
cess. The party experienced no trouble
or hindrance either going or coming
from Mexico, there being no evidence
of war or interruption of traffic in the
section of the republic visited by them.
On the going trip the Mexican bound
airy was crossed at dorado, but not a
solitary soldier was seen on either side
of the Rio Grande river, and none APP
peared on the way to Mexico City. The
scene of what conflicts have taken place
is in the state of Chihuahua, just south
of Ell Paso, Texas, at least 1000 miles
north of Ell Salto, Deagua, where the
holdings of the Wisconsin Rubber COM
pany are located. The itinerary from
Mexico City was to Vera Cruz, thence
across the Gulf of Campeck to From
terra, followed by an inland river. trip of
100 miles. Madison Democrat.

Public Library Notes.

Those who have read Stewart Ed
ward Whites "The River Man" will
enjoy his latest book, ''The Rules of
the Game" The son of the river man
enters the lumber business, first as a
clerk in the Chicago offices, then in the
forests of Michigan, and later in Cali
fornia, where he becomes indispensable
to the company He is gradually con-
WINGED of the wasteful methods en-
ployed and of the necessity of conser-
walton, and resigns to become forest
ranger. A story that will appeal to
many classes of readers, with its de-
scriptions of forest life, interesting
types of the lumber camp, and charm
ing love episode. 1t is, however, pre-
eminently presentation, sane and fair,
of the conservation problem as it ap-
pears to both sides of the field.
Cleaning and Renovating at Home, =
by E. G. Osman, is timely treatise on
that old, old, yet ever new subject to
housewives. 1t contains directions for
renovating and cleaning all kinds of
household and wardrobe articles, in
most cases giving several methods of
treatment. 1t includes some things not
found in reference manuals already
available, and is more convenient vol
ume for circulation.

THE assembly last week passed bill
increasing annually the salaries in the
insurance commissioners office nearly
SIS, 600, one increasing the salaries in
the superintendent of the public prop
erty's office over $4,000, one increas-
ing the salaries in the game warden
department So, 900 and one in the oil in
spector's Office, adding 5000 annually to
the pay roll. There are a score more
of bills to boost salaries in the other
departments This is what our people
are getting for turning the state gov
eminent over to professional politicians.
There are bills in the legislature ap-
propriating seven million dollars more
than the estimated revenue of the state
for the next two years. = Deerfield

THE bill which provides for fiat re-
duction of Is per cent of the express
charges in the state, although it came
in late in the session, is the subject of
a great deal of attention and will likely
be the subject of warm battle on the
floor of the assembly and will probably
pass that house and possibly also the
senate. There is a general feeling that
express charges in this state should be
reduced and this is strengthened by the
fact that other states have lessened
their charges for the carriage of ex-
press by legislation such as is now pro-
posed in Wisconsin.

ADJOURNMENT of the legislature.
which seemed possible by June /, has
gone glimmering, with the renewal of
reapportionment talk. 1t will be imz
possible for the legislature to dodge
this task if the national congress hur-
ries through the bill fixing the member
ship of the next House The House on
last Saturday passed bill fixing the
number of representatives at 433 in
stead of 391 as at present but it is not
believed that the Senate will favor this
basis
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1911-05-05

THE attention of the legislature is
respectfully called to the growing lists
of sales of real estate for unpaid taxes
now being published in the country
press. Every additional tax burden
placed upon the people increases the
number of those already unable to meet
them. Instead of scheming more ways
to tax, that body would confer last
ing benefit by trying to devise some
way to relieve the people of the ever
increasing burden.

VICTOR L. BERGER, who styles him
self '"The Whole Party because he is
the only socialist in congress, hangs his
hat in the republican cloak room. Mr..
Berger says that he does not wish to
be accused of showing favoritism and
that his decision in this respect has
been influenced by the sole reason that
he found more room on that side of the
chamber.

CRATES OF PEACHES GO
DAILY BY EXPRESS
Americas Shippers Are Get
ting Good Prices

Americus peach growers, the few
who have fruit to ship, are getting
good returns just now from New Or
leans, Mobile and points further West,
where the fruit commands fancy
prices. One large grower stated yes
terday to The Times-Recorder that ne
was getting $3.50 per crate in these
markets and was well satisfied with
results. Other growers are selling
selected fruit from the wagons right
here at the same figure, about $3.50
per crate, and thus saving freight
charges and commissions. Others
still are selling to the canneries, which
manage to secure sufficient peaches to
keep the plants in operations. The ear
ly varieties have about become ex-
hausted, and soon the Hiley Bellies, Of
which there is very good crop. and
the few Elbertas will be ready for
market. The peach crop will emil
quickly this season, and those who
would feasts upon them should not de-
lay too long.

YOUNG CORN is DYING
FAST FROM The HEAT
Condition in Sumter Growing
Alarming

Unless a general rain comes, and
that quickly, the corn crop in Sumter
is going to be ruined, or else badly
injured in it's entirety, from the eff
fects of prolonged drought While two
light rains have fallen in Americas
and vicinity during the past two
weeks many sections have had not a
drop of rain, and crops are suffering
intensely. Just now the corn is in
the shooting STAGE" when the ten
der young ear is forming, and moisture
is necessary for its full development
Up to within the past week or two the
outlook for bumper crop of corn was
most excellent, but conditions have
changed materially since then and
it now looks like a partial failure OF
the crop, unless relief is afforded in
q general rain.

SUMTER COUNTY FARMER
SUCCESSFUL in CALHOUN
Mr.. Ed Simmons Has SplGR-
did Crops Near LGafy

On account of the interest aroused
by the publication recently in The
Times-Recorder of a story of the first
cotton bloom of the season in this
section discovered on farm near
town, The Times-Recorder is in re-
ceipt of a real. genuine cotton boil,
full grown, which has been sent in by
Mr.. Ed Simmons from his farm near
Leary in Calhoun county.
Mr.. Simmons is a former resident
of Sumter county, having moved to
Deary last year, where he is engag-
ed most successfully in farming OPP
erations. He writes that he has a
hundred acres of cotton full of bolls,
and two hundred acres waist high,
without bunch of grass to be seen.
This is splendid success for a Sum-
ter county farmer in his first year
of residence in another county. Mr..
Simmons has transplanted Sumter
county methods to Calhoun county and
has shown the residents of that Sec
ton how farmers manage things IN
this section. His success is well mer-
tied and will continue to be the won
der of his neighbors.

There is no word, long or short. in the English language, capable of performing so much la bor in clear, intelligible sense as the verb to get; and here is an old time specimen of its ca apabilities:

When l got to Canterbury got chaise for town; but I got wet through before got to Canterbury and l have got such a cold as 1 shall not be able to get rid of in a hurry. got to the treasury about noon, but first. of all I got shaved and dressed. I soon got into the secret of getting a memorial. before the board, but 1 could no. get an answer then; however, I got intel- ligence from the messenger that I should most likely get one the next morning, AS soon as got back to my inn got my supper. When I got up in the morning I got my breakfast and then I got myself dressed that I might get out in time to get an answer to my mem- orial.
