WORST DROUTH IN HISTORY
DRY Farmer Declares Period of Dry
Weather is Unprecedented

Lincoln, Nebr., June 2S.-In
spite of the fact that he saws
inns Is the worst drouth the
west has known, II. W. Camn-
Dell, apostle of dry farming, de-
clares that he will have an ay-
erage of thirty bushels of wheat
TO the acre on his experimental
dry farm near Holdrege.
I'VE have had only five in
ches OF rain at Holdrege this
year" he said, "and there will
be a short crop of wheat on
every farm in that section save
ours. There we will have
yields running as high as forty
bushels to the acre and averag-
ing around about thirty. Scien-
tile tillage has done this, and
if the directions are followed
others can do as we'll.
Last summer we left a field
fallow for the purpose of stor-
ing all the rain that fell, and
prepared it so that none evapo-
rated. Less than a week ago
We found, on boring into t,that
we had five feet Of moist earth.
most Of it so wet that it would
soil the hand, and all of it so
moist that it would ball or stick
to the auger Fields near by,
where the usual methods were
employed, show only small
depth Of moisture, and even
this is not SO wet as ours in
the fifth foot down.
"This is the worst period of
drouth the west has ever known
1t is cumulative drouth, very
little rain falling last fall and
winter. Yet there is not going
to be any exodus of people from
either Kansas or Nebraska,
but practically everyone will
stick it out and endeavor to ov-
ercOme present conditions.
"Drouth conditions can be
conquered, and the knowledge
that this is true will keep the
men on the farms. All Of west
ern Kansas and western Neb-
raska, now the chief sufferers
from the drOuth, can be mad
to raise forty bushels of wheat
to the acre every other year by
scientific tillage. This means
twenty bushels a year, and the
cost of that is less than under
present methods. If the bust
ness men were wideawake they
would cooperate with the farm
ers and thus induce more OF
them to make the experimen
t than now seem to deem it wise

TAX ON WHOLE NATION
EXAMPLE OF TARIFF FIXING ALL
SHOULD APPRECIATE.
"Fine Work" Of Senator Aldrich Dis
played-"Deception" Ia Mild
Word by Which TO De-
scribe Transaction.

When the ways and means commit
tee was holding its hearings before
framing the tariff act of 1909 Mr.. IL
T. Lippitt of Rhode Island. a manu-
iacturer OF cotton goods-now a SEN
ator from that state-appeared before
the committee on behalf of the cotton
manufacturers. This was what he
said:
Il am not appearing here TO ask for
an increase in the duties on the cloth
clauses of the cotton schedule. think
that while there are importations go
Ing on under them, ii is reasonably
regulative OF the cotton trade. The
importations are not so large that we
feel justified in asking that the duties
be increased, but we would not like
to see them decreased. We ask, there
fore, that the present schedule shall
not be materially changed"
In spite of this admission the whole
cotton schedule was revised upward
by amendments. most of which were
introduced by the senate. A heavy
tax was laid on mercerized fabrics,
which in itself greatly increased the
rates OF duty on more than one hun
dred classes of cotton cloth
But most extraordinary OF all was
the trick of Senator Aldrich. who
raised the rates on cloth throughout
the schedule by the simple process of
rewriting the duties. as he explained,
N the interest OF uniformity. The du-
ties had been levied on the value OF
the fabrics. These ad valorem duties
he converted into specific duties--cu-
ties that is, of n certain number of
cents a yard, the rate varying with
the number OF threads in a square
Inch OF cloth.
The new duties he solemnly assured
the senate were Identical with the old.
Blu when Senator Dolliver and Sena-
tor La Toilette went to figuring on
them they discovered that the rates
had been raised from % to 400 per
cent. II is a simple mathematical
proposition. Anybody with pencil and
paper can figure 1t out
No more brazen deception has ever
been attempted in congress than that
OF Senator Aldrich when he assured
the senate that his changes had not
disturbed the rates Of duty.
New England manufacturers were
thus deliberately authorized by con-
gress to increase their charges on the
American people for large variety OF
cotton goods used in every home IN the
land.
It is this hold-up that congress tried
10 block in the revision OF the cotton
schedule at the present session In
vetoing the cotton bill President Taft
Will have the cordial support OF all the
gentlemen who have profited by the
piracy OF 19O9-Kansas City Star.

PRESIDENT NOT CONSISTENT
Veto of Tariff Bills Hard to Account
For, However Plausible the
Argument

President Taft has done n whole.
sale business in vetoing tariff bills
His principal alleged arguments
against the measures were that they
were not proposed or backed by the
tariff commission, and that they were
not scientific" According to his no
ton. congress and the country must
walt till the commission shall have
made a report.
Well. that proposed reciprocity ar
rangement with Canada is one OF the
most important tariff measures ever
considered by the nations lawmakers
The tariff board had nothing to do
with its preparation. And yet Mr.
TAFT favored IL. He did everything
in his power to secure favorable &C
ton on it,
Why such discrimination?
That monstrosity in the way OF leg.
islation, the Aldrich-Payne tariff bill
was not prepared by a tariff commits
sion. but Mr.. Taft signed It!
The president condemned the wool
schedule OF that act as "indefensible. ."
Yet he vetoed a bill intended to rem
edy the defects of that schedule.
When he signed the Aldrich- Payne
bill. he gave the tariff robbers the
benefit of the doubt" They have
continued to profit under that benefit
Ever since the provisions of the bill
went into effect. the country has been
carrying on business and the people
have been doing their best to meet
the demands of the consequent high
cost of living-all this with no pre-
tense of tarih'-commission approval or
anything like what the president calls
scientific" schedules.
If the schedules prepared by lobby.
lists in the interest of the trusts were
sufficiently Scientific" to merit the
presidents approval that same presi-
Cent places himself in a most ridcu-
lous position by vetoing the measures
adopted by the special session!

esry,s Way and a Better on..

Judge e. II. Gary (Andrew Carne
gie's 'pawley chief'O thinks the gen.
eral government should take under its
exclusive control all the Industrial cor
porations and Trusts. Is that inspired
by the thought OF putting the general
government under control of the cor
porations?
much better way OF dealing with
most of the trusts, including the steel
trust. is to take the tariff props from
under them. Thus there will be no
need of government Intervention in
behalf Of the trusts through the me.
dunn OF powerful bureaucracy in the
national capital. There is already too
much bureaucratic government With

Peter Brown was a Conshohocken
grocer. He was delivering some gro

when he ran down and badly injured
an old lady. The old lady sued him
and got big damages. a few months
later Brown was on his rounds again
when he ran down and crippled an
old man. The man also sued, and so
large were the damages awarded him
by generous jury that poor Brown
found himself actually on the verge
of ruin.
"One morning about this time
Browns young son rushed into the
shop in great excitement. 'Father!'
he cried, Father! mothers been run
