who has just been given the $500
'Rosiere Prize" for her virtue and

The young woman stands six feet

are many One of her fathers farm
hands drove up with wagon load OF
the huge sacks of wheat peculiar to
the region The farm hand and his
helper struggled with one of the sacks
without more than budging 1t, SO they
called mademoiselle. She came up

aside. Alone she walked away with
the sack-420 pounds to the ounce.

defeat was largely due to the activity

STANDARD OIL IN
TROUBLE IN IOWA
Indictments Returned Against Com

Jury.

The Standard Oil company is in
trouble with Iowa officials for alleg
ed violations of the anti-discrimination
law. Information has reached the
state to the effect that the company
has been indicted by the grand jury
of Sioux County for discriminating in
the matter of selling oil in various
cities and towns of that county.
Some months ago complaint was
made to the state railroad commits

that the Standard Oil company was
discriminating against them in prices
on oil. The case hung fire in the com

A damaging rain storm swept Fort
Madison and vicinity at an early
hour last night. For an hour and
half the rain fell in torrents and to-
day large section gang is busy re-
pairing the big washout at Denmark
station, north of here. Trains were
delayed during the night and today
service in and out of the city is bad

the heavy sufferer, the Santa Fe
roadbed standing up well under the
food.
The washout at Denmark station
which carried away large section of
track of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy was probably the most dam
aging effect of the storm AS re-
suit co. trains have been unable to

be In repair by this evening Some OF

you this tax, which is frequently great bur
den to you, is that the government needs the
money to live on. Obviously then, if the
State exacts from YOU greater amount than
is absolutely necessary to the legitimate ex-
ercise of it's legitimate functions, the tax is
nothing more than a robbery The fact that
it is committed under forms of law does not
make it right.
Approaching the tariff system from this
point of view, its enormous injustice to those
who suffer from it will be most garingly APP
parent. The Federal Government, like your
State government, or your town government,
has the right to live at your expense. It is
supposed to give you fair equivalent for
your money. In return for the tax which
supports the Federal government, it under
takes to defend you from foreign and do
nestle enemies, and to protect you in the en-
joyment of your health, your peace, your
comfort and your pursuit of prosperity and
happiness.
But, when the Federal Government uses it's
irresistible power to deprive you of any por-
ton of your earnings or property, to enrich
other classes Of your fezzow- citizens, it has
simply robbed you.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1911-01-26

AS was explained in the Tariff Talk of last
week, the States never delegated to the Fed
eral government the power to legislate out of
your pocket into the business of the manu-
facturers alleged high wages and alleged
reasonable profits The States themselves
had no such power, and therefore could not
delegate such a power to the central govern
ment Nobody denies that the Federal Gov
eminent is one of delegated powers. We may
widely differ as to the construction, strict or
liberal, that we give to the Constitution of
the United States, but nobody has ever been
heard to say that it either had or claimed any
original sovereignty. 1t is supreme within
the realm marked out for it by the States,
but it derived that realm from the States,
nevertheless. 1t follows therefore, that if
the States had no sovereign right to coniscate
your wages or your property for the benefit
Of private individuals and without compen-
sation, the Federal government is a mere
usurper- despotic and unjust-when it exer-
cises such power,

exercise of the usurped power to confscate,

purposes, and the municipality derives its au-
thority for opening streets through lots
owned by the inhabitants thereof. In all
such cases the value of the property is as
sessed according to statutory provisions, and
the owner is paid before the property can be
taken. This is not confiscation, but is an en-
forced sale; in law it goes under the name
of Eminent Domain.
Taxation, however, is something altogether
different. The property of the citizen is
taken and he gets nothing in return excepting
the benefits of being a citizen of civilized
community. Unfortunately it is not seldom
that this benefit is more or less imaginary.
However, the State justifies itself for confs-
eating a portion of your property upon the
theory that it preserves law and order, pro
tecting you in the exercise of your individual
freedom, in the use of your property, and in
the enjoyment of your reputation.
