The local Isaac Waltons had one
day of fishing this season, thus
beating the game. for the new law
says that there shall be no fishing
until May 1. But the new law did
not go into effect until Thursday,
while under the old law, the season
opened on Wednesday, March 10.
There being no objection the fisher
men got busy, but they were re-
warded with little more than fisher
mems luck, for the storms had made
the streams muddy, and hurry
creek has been closed for the rest of
the year; or until the hex season.
Senator George r. Mills, chairman of
the Nevada Fish Commission, has
notified the sheriffs of the various
counties of the change in the laws,
as we'll as the various game war
dens. Up to Wednesday nothing
was known here as to whether the
bill had passed or not.

Stock markets and stocks are two

of stocks listed on the stock ex-

stocks are good and some are not so

whether they are bad. You are not

in this district that are absolutely
reliable and when purchasing them
you run no risk. They are guaran-

as good as any to be found any

GAME OF DODGE AND DELAY
Cry for Tariff Commission Merely a
Scheme to Fasten Further
Taxes on People.

The history of Schedule K is story
that might be entitled "Forty.tive
Years of Graft, Dodge and Delay" The
first feature is that the woolen manu-
facturers Ggltated for a tariff, then
met and agreed On a tariff for wool
and wool goods" That WAS In 1866.
A Republican congress IN 1857 enact
ed their drafted bill. Thirteen years
later there was agitation for revision,
which the manufacturers met with op-
position and then their first dodge
an argument for tariff commission.
After two years delay, a tariff com
mission was authorized. II was con-
trolled to such an extent that John l..
Hayes, secretary of the National AS
sociation of Wool Manufacturers, was
appointed its president. later to be
made chairman OF the subcommittee
named to prepare the woolen ana
worsted schedules. Was there any
Doubt that the new bill would show
net increases In tho wool tariff, and
that reductions, II any, would be on.
goods not much manufactured? That
bill was enacted In 1888. In 1890 the
Mckinley bill, which was notorious
in that II was drafted by industrial In
terests, increased the tariff and espe-
cially on worsteds. Then came the re-
vision of the Wilson bill, followed by
the Dingley bill 10 1897. Secret ses-
sions we're held by the senate finance
committee. s. N. d. North, secretary
OF the National Association of Wool
Manufacturers made the record him'
self when, In a letter to President
Whitman, he declared: Il am the only
person whom the committee allows In
its sittLngs." Whitman and other
manufacturers held North "responsi-
BILE" for getting the schedule right.
His work was so satisfactory that
when the Dingley bill was passed
North received $1,000. Ten years la.
ter came another agitation. Whitman
again on deck, opposed a tariff com
mission, but favored tsrih board to
make an investigation. Why this
change? Chairman Emery Of the tar
In board probably gave the key when
at the banquet of the American Asso
citation Of Woolen and Worsted Manu-
facturers in New York last December
ne declared: II have no powers what
soever; the tariif board has no pow
ers." 1t was only the same old game

ulation do this and other trusts tai

PROMOTERS SHOWN UP
FACTS REVEALED BY STEEL
TRUST INVESTIGATION.
That the Public Has Been Robbed Of
Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars
ls One Point Made Very
Clear.

There are excellent reasons why OBJ.
serving citizens have not regarded the
Stanley street trust investigation with
confidence. Belief even has obtained
In well-informed quarters that Con
gresham Stanley is ''four-fushing."
No opportunity was overlooked to
call before the committee men whose
prominence In politics or business was
certain to insure wide publicity.
Whether the facts to which they tesh-
fed were equally important seemed to
be secondary consideration.
At the same time, Congressman
Stanley carefully has refrained from
interrogating witnesses who might
have given definite and discriminating
information In regard to habitual use
Of the huge capital of the trust to ma
nipulate the stock market and to plum
der honest investors.
Inadvertently. however. sufficient
facts have been elected to convict the
steel trust of wanton violation Of the
law, as we'll as ethics of decent busi'
ness.
II has been shown that the trust
was overcapitalized by more than
S700,o00,000. which practically repre-
sents profit to insiders by selling stock
which had no tangible value behind it.
1t has been shown that J. P. Morgan
& Co. received s13O.OO0,00O for their
part In this gigantic stock-promoting
scheme, aud that another scheme to
get $50.0O0,00O for nothing" was at
tempted and failed.
The testimony showed that the
panic Of 1907 was accelerated and
used as lever to obtain control Of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company
thus giving the trust a monopoly OF
high-grade ore.
That President Roosevelt was pre-
vailed on to assist in this reprehen
sible transaction was admitted by the
former president himself.
These startling facts crept into the
record in spite Of obvious efforts tc
steer the investigation away from the
real crux OF the evil. They are sufti
cient to Justify the government in tax
Ing vigorous steps to put a stop tc
swindling operations by which greedy
promoters have stripped hundreds o
millions from the investing public.
Whether the committee will make
serious effort to get to the bottom o.
these transactions when It reconvene'
this month remains to be seen. II /
fails to do so. commission should b
appointed which has more adequate
conception Of Its duty.

DoNIPHAN MISSOURI, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 90, 1911
TAX IS PAID BY CONSUMERS
No Amount OF sophistlcaI "Tarlff Ar
currents" Can Alter the Funda-
mental Fact.

The word tariff" when used In
connection with what Is commonly
called the tariff question" always
means a list of taxes imposed on i'm
ported commodities.
The importers pay these taxes, But
they add them, and something more,
as interest on the money advanced,
to their selling prices, Thus the
taxes are passed on until they finally
come out of the pockets OF colsum-
ers.
Home producers Of competing goods
pay no such taxes, but add Just as
much 20 their prices, if they can; and
they can unless competition among
themselves prevents. So they com
bine to strsngle competition and con
troll prices--to create monopoles
which We call trusts, crush those VINO
will not join, or whom they choose TO
blackball. and bleed consumers to the
limit
To this erd they get rate prefer
ences from tie railroads II possible.
Formerly they succeeded, destroyed
opposition and or ated fine lot Of
monopolies, including most OF the pro
tected industries.
Mayor Gaynor of New York seems
to think they still succeed in this BE
that as 1t may, rate favors for the
most part merely aid In the work Of
monopoly building. Excessive tariff
protection lies at the root OF the evil.
II supplies the motive to the creation
of monopolies. Railroad favorS great
ly help the work, but nothing more.
This is fact that Mr. Taft seems
not TO have srasped. He Is so infatu
ated with protection that he fails to
see how our moastrous tariff rates
have enmeshed us in sirangling mo
nopolies.
For their next president the people
want man of less prejudice and
clearer vision

RlsInu Prices.

II may be that reciprocity would
not have lowered prices, but the de-
feat Of reciprocity is at least made
the pretext for raising them. So we
must have been enjoslng the result of
reciprocity ever since congress rati-
fied the agreement In such cases as
this the effects Of legislation are. as
we know, often discounted. II may

MIIlhaud Must Walt.

In 1881 James G. Blaine was the
foremost American champion Of high
protection. In June Of that year he
as secretary of state sent to congress
a report on the cotton goods Industry,
In this document he submitted mass
Of statistics on which he based this
statement:
Undoubtedly the inequalities in the
wages OF English and American oper-
atives are more than eQualiZed by
their greater efficiency and their
longer hours OF labor. In the
two prime factors which may be said
to form the basis of our cotton manu-
featuring industry-namely. raw ma
terial and labor, we hold the ad
vantage over England in the first, and
stand upon an equality in the second,
That meant that thirty years age
we could beat the world in the chear
production of cotton goods, for Eng
land could easily beat any other com
petitor. II meant that our manufac
turers could hold the home marke
without tariff help.
Yet they are still getting this hell
Just as they we're thirty years ago
and the national labor bureau find
that precious little OF 1t gets past thei
stockholders and their treasury int
