Tho Milk Problem.
LNeM York Tribune. ]


The problem of a pure milk supply Is
a growing one in the United States.
Like many other problems. it arises
from the increase in number and size
Of our centers of population. A fresh
evidence Of this fact is indicated by
what Philadelphia is doing to improve
the quality of it's milk. New York City
has long been studying how to insure
an ample supply of good quality of that
perishable article of food. Last sum-
mer our Pennsylvania neighbor recOg-
nized the Importance of raising the
standard. Following a meeting in his
office. the mayor appointed q commits

eases cf cattle. Serving without finan-
c!al recompense. they have recently
finished their Investigation, which Is
expected to have two results Indiffer-
ent dairymen who desire to continue to
sell milk in Philadelphia will be obliged
to raise their standard OF production.
The consumer viii have 10 nav more
for the improved product and better
service.
Probably these results will be Sc
cured no more easily in Philadelphia
than in New York, for the careless
dairyman finds 1t difficult TO under
stand why he should change his meth

peculiar problems involved in supply

seeks to put upon the shoulders OF
the borrower the great burden OF sup.
porting the state.
It Ii not the tax ferret who Is the
evil. but the tax dodger. It is not the
detective who IL the evil. or does the
evil, but the thief whom the detective
is paid by society to hunt down and
arrest. No one would treat seriously
a proposal to do away with detectives
and policemen. And yet the Iowa
legislature does away with the tax
ferret, who is in the same relation to
the wrong doer as are the policeman
and the detective.
In our perverted view Of things 1t
is a greater crime to steal leg OF
mutton from butchers display than
to defraud the state out Of taxes. We
can't disassociate as yet, the clothes
and the man. The tax dodger Is in
good apparel and possibly in front

As to Arkansas.
(Christian Science Monito,

(ChriStian Science Monitor).
Some of the figures are impressive.
For example, Arkansas produced last
year s2oo,O0o,o00 worth Of agricultural
products. The states cut Of lumber
was worth a like sum. In it's fertile
broad beautiful valleys are over 10000
600 bearing apple trees ana 100000
bearing liberia peach trees. Arkansas
contributes largely toward the straw
berry supply of the northern markets
from the $4,000 acres devoted to straw
berry cultiva ton. Everything that
grows within the borders OF the country,
thrves in Arkansas. Its agricultural
resources alone would make 1t a pros
porous and wealthy commonwealth.
But Arkansas is also one of the great
mineral states of the Union. It's min
eral lands have an aggregate value OF
over 100000 acres. OF this over g.
400 900 are underlaid with coal: Ar
kansas coal is specified by the govern
ment for use in the navy. The state
also has beauxite and kaolin mines; it
has immense slate fields. magnificent
marble quarres. great beds Of cement
and chalk. Moreover, there are no less
than forty zinc mines in. the state, while
there are ten lead mines. There are
rich deposits of fuller's earth. and In >
Pike county there is diamond mine
in actual operation.
Industries of other kinds are not
very fully developed, and yet Arkansas
has large number of prosperous
manufacturing concerns. It is famous

hypocrisy for piety.
In the view Of the state legislature
we ought to encourage tax dodgers
and thus not only inferentially give
them an immunity bath for past Of
lenses. but assure them that they Will
be undisturbed in future when they
want to make the Widow Jones, who
must pay her taxes out of her earn
ings at the wash board. and John
Smith, who is trying to support

on his home out OF meagre earnings,

richer and far better able to stand the
burden, should pay.
If there were more Smiths and
widows sons. and fewer money lend
ers in the legislature, the state would
not be in the attitude Of encouraging

DIES MONIES WATER TROUBLE.
rDeS Aoines Tribune1,

Tho the whole water situation in Des
Moines is badly muddled up thru
charges and counter charges. accuse
lions and denials, this one fact stands
out clearly without question:
Des Moines must bestir itself to Sc
cure q water supply that is positively
pure.
No city can AFFORD to take chances
with doubtful water. Des Moines' re-
cent experience with typhoid made
that clear. Des Moines can not con
tinue to develop and grow and do
things unless It flrst makes sure that
it Is In every way wholesome place to
live. 1t must be a Certaintyville as to
health as well as to business opportun-
ity
While there ie much jangling and
wrangling about water supply. the peo-
pie should not lose sight OF these i'm
